New York City Revealed: World Trade Center
The Twin Towers were icons on the New York skyline. Then, in the course of one September morning, they were gone. What followed was more than two decades of competing visions and continual setbacks that finally culminated in the city’s newest landmark.

Thanks for sharing Kerry Irvine's story. I can't imagine the pain she felt losing her sister. I'm glad she's doing okay these days.
I woke up that day , showered , started making coffee . It was a little after 7:30 a/m where I live in Austin Texas , therefore a little after 8:30 a/m in New York City. I had the tv on and I had one of those early morning shows on , one of the broadcast networks , maybe ABC , NBC , or CBS . Suddenly , one of those networks - I think it was Matt Lauer or Katy Curric - said that something was happening at the world trade centers . I did a double take when the image of the tower on my tv with the big hole in it and black smoke billowing out into the blue sky over Manhattan loomed ominously . That turned my day topsy turvy , time flew by for me . I can’t even really remember all what I was doing between when I saw the first stricken tower and when day turned to night out here . I grew up in Brooklyn, New York . Twenty years later I learned that one of the broadcast engineers who perished in the north tower was someone that I went to school with back in the 1970s . It was Donald DiFranco , 24:18 who I remembered from junior high school and from high school .
What happened I'll never forget. It literally ripped a hole in the aura and soul of this country. On another note, we can't forget about Philippe Petit who walked a tightrope between the Twin Towers in 1974 SEVERAL times and is still alive today.
There was also a guy who climbed straight up one of the twin towers back in 1977. Once he reached the roof, he was promptly arrested.
There is a really great movie about him called The Walk. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Petit
Petit is a legend, the movie called The Walk is s wonderful tribute to the towers
The opening statement of the lady who lost her sister is so very true. I had no desire to go down to that area and would only go if I absolutely have to. Now I work in the old financial center across the street and it’s such an eerie feeling. The area is so beautiful but it just doesn’t feel right to have all the tourist walking around snapping pics. It’s weird
I went up the Observation Tower back in '78,just walking into the entry was impressive,gigantic.From the top you had a view of 50 miles every direction,coming down in a huge elevator it dropped you like a stone,your belly was still on the top floor,loved it.
The good die young. And then there's Silverstein.
Him pretending like he wasn't in on it is disgusting. He is so disgusting
J ewwwww
He almost doesn't look human... CREEPY AF
Every morning he had breakfast on windows on the world. Except for that morning when he supposed had a dermatology appointment
@@teamenemy. ... Now... don't....
The World Trade Center can’t be the World Trade Center without the towers
I'm an Aussie guy and I agree with you. I love the new tower but why didn't they just build 2 of the new towers in the footprints of the originals? I lost a friend in Tower 1. I had friends over and all of a sudden a news break came on and we watched the whole thing live.
The towers will never return exactly the way they were, and I think that's a good thing, even if they could build them back the same, why would anyone want to see them again after what happened to the originals, I think it would be almost scary to see them again in real life, you can see them all day long in photos if you want to, the other problem would be finding the same materials they used to build the towers, a lot of those materials are not made anymore.
Error: The towers in the thumbnail are spaced too far apart.
True, they're like 1000 feet apart lol
Yeah, it's pretty bizarre.
It looks like that’s right when the first plane hit but your right they look far apart but this looks taken from the East
It's just a frail thumbnail sense, don't gotta hate the whole video for the thumbnail (even if just bizarre and wacky needless Photoshop)
Looks AI generated
Kerry Irvine’s story was sooo sad but has a ray of hope that I hope she can continue to heal from 🥺
As a New Yorker my whole life and as a person who was on canal Street that day then volunteered for a month and my father was a first responder and my sister worked in the trade center, they should have just rebuilt the same two towers!! They were are skyline
That’s what I say
RIP
World Trade Center
(1973-2001)
Buddy fix your thumbnail, literally everything about it is wrong, is an actual picture of the event not enough?
They should’ve just rebuilt the towers behind the old footprints and made them taller and out of different material but hey I’m not in charge.
Trump actually suggested that, in 2002
Trump actually suggested that, in 2002
@@quietq1631Trump suggested building the new revamped versions directly on top of the old footprints. @rewelldrums is saying they should have built them farther back behind their original footprints, which would have probably been more acceptable to people.
@@jus10lewissrTrumps plans were not to build on the original footprints. Any plans or photos will show you that. He wanted to build a memorial around the footprints that replicated the old towers.
Yeah good idea except for the fact that if they did that, there could be another event. Obviously because of how safe cockpits are now it’s such a low chance but I wouldn’t take the risk
i think about 9/11 nearly every day in some way.. i feel like that was the day that my whole universe was flipped and it hasn't flipped back ever since.
i've actually been in the towers and went up to the rooftop observation deck. i was only 13 at the time, but i've always been fascinated by supertall skyscrapers from a very young age and that was where i wanted to go, when i was on a family NYC trip in 1997.
this may sound overly dramatic, but i think a part of me, my innocence, and my bright outlook for the future died when i saw the towers fall on TV that day.
It was a big metaphorical and tangible impact. The towers were the most eye-catching buildings in existence. Then 9/11 happens and they get imprinted in your mind even harder. Then half of New York wants to rebuild them, and what happens? A corrupt friendship between Pataki (governor of NY at the time) and the architect of the new 1 WTC causes them not to rebuild. So corruption causes us to waste trillions on a war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and corruption allows the terrorists to alter our skyline forever. Very understandable to feel like innocence and hope has died.
Uh, the Twin Towers were not that far separated like in the thumbnail.
I agree that a memorial was a better idea to respect ALL the heroes that day.
god bless America ,, im Canadian im 69 years old married in 1978 we have 4 adult kids ,, the first time we were in NY as a family it was in 84 and i have a picture of at that time a picture of our son and daughter with the back ground of the twin towers,, wow , i just found it last year,, also ive been going to NY with my parents since 1960,, i remember when i was 7 yrs old my dad and mom took my to the empire state building and my dad put the palm of my hand on the wall of the empire building , i never new it was like a marble wall,, love to share this story ,, god bless America
It should have been a memorial remember numerous people were never recovered they were all mixed up with the concrete and steel ruins RIP
Wtf is that thumbnail? why did they place the towers so far apart
I’d have liked the twin towers to have been rebuilt as they were before 9/11. I was lucky enough to go up to the viewing platform when I visited in the late 1980s & was really impressed by them. I can’t say I’m a fan of the new freedom tower but nothing stands in the way of progress
Same, went out on the roof in 1987
Here's hoping they can eventually get buildings 2 and 5 built. Though I'm not sure about 5 being a residential space, it should be a hotel like the old 3 was.
Nice vid
Tragic.😢
I dont beleive we'll ever know the truth
You have to get off Google search to find out the truth. It is there. You just follow the trail
Algorithm. Science. The Milky way galaxy.
NOTE: The ground zero museum does not use the words, "Muslim or Islam," anyplace in the museum.
Democrats love Muslims
Portland and Atlanta are similar in the fact that they both really shine in their historic, Streetcar, close-in neighborhoods. When are you coming to Atlanta?
you guys really needed to use AI to create the thumbnail? the towers look so far apart it’s ridiculous. extremely disrespectful to those that died that die and their families and honestly pathetic.
I was wondering why they looked so far apart.
For some reason you got the time wrong in your version. It was 1 hour 68 minutes and they were gone.
What about Building 6 or 6 WTC there’s no plans to rebuild that and the pattern for the buildings skip out 6 completely, will it be a later development or will 6 WTC be completely forgotten about
it will probably be like 7 wtc, that was built 20 years after the twins
What the hell is with the thumbnail for
It's hard to describe how awesome the Manhattan skyline looked with the twin towers. As amazing of a skyscraper that 1 World Trade Center is, it's nowhere near as majestic as the twin towers.
God Bless❤😭
What’s the point of the thumbnail looking all weird?
Why did you use AI for the thumbnail? It isn't like you couldn't find a good photo of the real event
...
They made it look real because most people would see it and think its footage they've never seen before. Kinda cheap
I really like the Freedom Tower, for the most part, and the way it was constructed/engineered internally is brilliant. I do wish they would have built two of them and offset them in the same diagonal fashion as the original towers, though I definitely understand that they lacked the space needed, being that they needed so much room for the reflective pools where the original towers had once stood. I just wish there would have been a way to have the reflective pools where they are and still build two identical "twin" Freedom Towers.
A part of the video got me thinking:
20:22 When they reconstructed the site in the late 2000s, they added streets back that hadn't been there since the late sixties/early seventies. The site of the twin towers ultimately caused them to complete delete one or two of the existing streets at the time for extra space. Looking at the image shown, they could have technically built a new twin set of towers on that site, staggered over a bit so as not to impose on the area the original towers had been. I get why no one wanted to give up the spots where they built the other towers in the complex, but they surely could have figured out a way to construct "twin" towers and still allow room for other buildings and the reflective pools. The World Trade Center complex as a whole is pretty large altogether, and I'm grateful for the Freedom Tower, but it's still disappointing that they didn't build two of them.
Especially considering the fact that they haven't even found enough tenants yet for the final tower that they've yet to build. Being that there isn't enough tenants to fill up seven buildings, finding the space to create two twin towers wouldn't have been difficult.
I know exactly where I was when we heare the first plain hit the south tower and the live images the second plain hit. The first news was at 2:50 pm in the Netherlands.
Unlike most every other sites world wide, the rubble from both buildings which entombed the remains of over 2500 people was removed to a carefully chosen site as with the rest of the world when faced with similar tragedy the rubble is placed upon ground consecrated by officials from all religions and faiths, once all rubble is accounted for, then the rubble is covered with again consecrated earth, forming a tranquil place the living could gather to mourn knowing there lost family are resting in hallowed ground. The city of NY transported the rubble from both towers to the city dump.... Families for years after combed the surface of the dump, finding human bones visit after visit to the place not blessed that their lost family were dumped. My heart still you heavy.
Nordstrom Tower is taller. So is 1 Vandy and 432 Park, and the new Chase tower and Steinway tower
Sears Tower is taller as well, Nordstrom tower is the tallest building in the U.S. Oklahoma City wants to build a new tallest building at 1,902 feet.
Why did the NYC planners/authorities allow taller towers? I always thought the NYC skyline was the most beautiful in the world. When I went back there in 2022 and just recently again, those new taller towers look ugly, and ruin the skyline. Especially the skinny ones.
@@MikePhillips-pl6ovpre 9/11 skyline was prime nyc
Does NYC REALLY need more office buildings? I get it; you need financing, but why not build more housing which is desperately needed versus pffice nuikdings whice remain largely empty these days?
I do miss them still. They were attention grabbing. I could never visit the memorial because of what happened to people trapped in the building. I don’t like that place, it breaks my heart. To me, 9/11 was a tragedy. I don’t like visiting the sites of tragedies. Titanic, Pearl Harbor, Germany. There are a lot of places I will never visit simply because of the atrocities that took place there.
Beautiful building 🏙, beautiful city 🌃, Great video 👍👍
I hope Kerry is doing ok 😢
Noo yo si necesito ver las mismas torres gemelas, hoy deberian ser re proporcionadas a la ciudad actual para que den el mismo aire que daban antes, ganarian en robustes y altura pero que se vieran igual, con mejoras tecnologicas

The thumbnail isn't making much sense to me.
At 5:20 it says they "quickly" became an iconic part of the NY skyline. Any of the locals from there knows the real truth. They weren't warmly accepted for a minimum of 20 years.
That doesn’t contradict that. The residents might have seen them as ugly, still from a us- or even worldwide perspective there were iconic for the city and for many they were the first thing to think about when someone talked about NYCs skyline.

Do a story on Building 7 - if you want to be taken seriously..
Why is Silverstein hands so fucking big they don’t match his body 😂
What a coincidence right after Silverstein bought it 💔
What about building 7?
Precisely, which is why this video is mostly BS propaganda supporting the false official narrative.
Yeah they say it was brought down by office fires, but like on the same day that two planes hit the twin towers, and a third was on its way but the passengers brought it down in Pennsylvania, and what about building codes,
Yes, building 7 was part of the original complex
Don’t ask Lucky Larry about building 7.
Nobody wants to talk about building 7
we rebuild the buildings but how do we rebuild the people and the lives affected?
My first time playing MINE CRAFT ... The first thing I did was REBUILD THE WORLD TRADE CENTER .
What tech. secret was used to evaporate building steel, toilet china, bodies, hard-drives, engine blocks and all else however leave 8.5x11 papers and dust floating in the wind????
It's called Physics!
You clearly do not understand how buildings work
Research "Aaron Dover, No Floors."
Nothing was evaporated. You don’t even seem to know what evaporation means from a physical point of view. Get some education and then look at the pictures from ground zero again. You see a lot of broken and deformed steel there. But nothing evaporated.

You Couldn’t believe it? Hours later you gave the order to “pull it” (building 7)
The term “Pull it” means that the building is too far gone to save and the fire fighters need to evacuate
@@Thefox0922 no. It’s a standard practice or common word used for control demolition.
Nice try
@@GregoryPLoomis incorrect. Also if this were the case why would he admit it to millions on a documentary?
I also wonder if you know how steel framed buildings work
@@Thefox0922 Same reason why everyone in the Biden administration points the finger at Trump. They’re liars? Too many discrepancies in 9/11 that don’t add up.
Do I know how steel buildings work? You mean like how they’re not supposed to not fall at free fall speed?
@@Thefox0922 Obviously you don't, and either you don't know what "pull it" means or your're flat out lying. Hundreds if not thousands of engineers say bldg 7 should not have come down because of an office fire. You don't know what you're talking about in both your comments.
😔 😟 🙁 😥
It is a horrible event what happened in 9/11 especially because this where innocent civilians and it is an cowardly act to attack civilians that are not armed. I hope that in the XXI century we will have a more peaceful planet 🌎. We only have one planet 🌎 we better take care of it!! May God Bless the USA 🇺🇸 and it’s friendly people!! May we learn to live in peace all of us!!
EXACTLY HOW is it COWARDLY to SACRIFICE YOUR LIFE for a cause that you believe in????
USA murdered more than 4.500.000 persons, most of them civilians, since 911 (Watson Institute, pro-USA). Friendly people in USA?
What about building 3 (hotel),4,5,6 and building 7? What about that Greek church that was forced demolished? Are we forced to forget about it? Nah man, also jet fuel can't melt steel beams.
When did the steel ever melt??
I know your gonna completely ignore this but
Building 3-6 where crushed from the falling debris
Building seven had severe damage from debris smashing into the side of it and uncontrollable fires
The church was hit by falling debris crushing it
The steel *trusses* did not melt but instead weakened and deformed which caused it to pull the perimeter columns inwards so it could no longer support the weight above
Hope that clears some stuff up
Cant believe the US government did this to their own people... So sad...

The need for new millions of feet of office space in a dying city and state is over.
What's with the photoshopped and/or AI thumbnail? I had an image in my head of Curiosity Stream being pretty reputable but that's kind of damaged now.
Why does every 9/11 video have this context?? What happened to all the videos that contradicted the 'Islam attack"? Where have they all gone? You can't possibly think we're ALL that stupid.

This is Not how you build back an Icon from a Malicious Attack
HOW CAN A PLANE MELT A BUILDING IN 1:42 MINUTES? THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE TO THIS THAT WE NEVER GONNA KNOW...
Do you mean 1 hour and 42 minutes?
Have you done any research into this
Hey Larry Silverstein, we know you demolished the trade center on purpose, we know about how there was thermite planted in the elevator shaft, we know that the specific floors that got hit by the towers were being renovated with a very explosive and flammable paint, we know that you mentioned how there's so much unused room that it deemed the building useless, we know you demolished it because it couldn't be wired for the Internet, even though it could, just look at the sears tower. The building was built to sustain multiple large aircraft crashes. Also after the plane hit, why did it randomly start falling apart? The bottom half of the building could withstand the top half of the building, even if it fell off, it couldn't have destroyed all of the bottom half, every force has an equal and opposite reaction.
You Conspiracy nutjobs lack common sense
There's a whole documentary that questions every point that the 9/11 commission and government officials confirmed and goes deep in to the technical point of view of it, it's name is "September 11 - the new pearl harbor"
@@quietq1631 Larry Silverstein actually hired someone else to do it but sadly I think that person is no longer alive today. We have to find out who that person was.
@@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623 ah yes they hired a team of disguised construction workers and allowed them to enter the unauthorized areas and plant the explosives in, such as the core structure
