My father always claimed that he was in the Polk’s hobby store a block down on 5th Avenue. He was inside the four story store when the crash occurred. He didn’t know anything had happened until he left the store and witnessed the commotion on 5th Avenue. People on the ground were talking about an explosion in the Empire State Building. My father, 14 years old at the time, tried to see the damage but he said it wasn’t immediately obvious on the south side. Very quickly he was moved out of the area by the police and went home. Later he heard on the radio that it was a military plane. He went back the next day and said you could see a big fuel stain down the north side of the building.

@@TomEnleftNeither are bicycle pumps. The shaft doesn’t have to be airtight. It just has to slow the air’s escape enough so that the rapidly compressing air creates a cushion that slows the impact.
On 9/11 I heard about the first airplane from the radio and I immediately thought of this. But then I realized there was no way it could happen with modern avionics, so it must have been intentional. I wish I'd been wrong.
I was in high school and heard from another kid. I thought it was a small Cessna that crashed on accident like this bomber. "Plane" is too vague of word.
Same. I was still thinking it must have been a freak accident until I heard about the second aircraft ... Up until that day, the idea that something like that might be a deliberate act was just unthinkable.
I was 19 working second shift and living at home. My mom abnormally turned on the TV, shortly after the first plane hit. She woke me up and said a plane crashed into the WTC in NY. Annoyed she woke me up, I said, "a planed crashed into the Empire State Building in the '40s too. I'll check it out when I get up." I too figured it was a light aircraft piloted by an idiot. Not long afterwards, my sister jarred me awake banging on my door and yelled, "get out here and watch history happening!" I snapped, "mom told me. I check out later!" "There's a plane in both towers and one in The Pentagon!" I shot out of bed and said, "fuck. We're at war." Being only about 2 hours from NYC, most of the employees at the warehouse had family up there that they couldn't get ahold of. Since almost everyone called off, we had to close the warehouse. I park my car at the truck gate and took a photo of an annoyingly beautiful sunset free of planes and contrails. I tried to comprehend why I was sad over the destruction of those iconic buildings, and not all the people that were murdered. I couldn't understand why people were crying for those they didn't know when they had a candlelight thing around the flagpole. It has taken me 23 years, but I finally discovered why. Turns out I'm on the autism spectrum. While I still don't have a connection to the people, the lack of humanity by the perpetrators was never lost on me.
I was at work when I heard about the first plane. I got to be the employee that carried on doing my job as most people couldn’t pull themselves away from the tube, what was going to happen next? I was expecting much worse honestly.
Considering the size of the aircraft that the World Trade Center was designed to survive versus what actually hit it, I feel like they did really well staying up as long as they did. I don't know if I had heard about the Empire State Building crash before... crazy stuff...
The builders of the WTC did, in fact, construct the buildings in such a way that they could absolutely withstand a direct hit from the largest commercial jetliner of the time. I'm a firm believer in the "official story" given to the world and remains to this very day a complete farce, a calculated and overly deliberate cover-up to whatever actually happened that morning. Three separate times, to three separate buildings, on the very same day, in the same country, within the same state, in the same city, on the exact same chain of buildings, all with the very same owner. The odds are beyond astronomical.
Sioux Falls is in South Dakota. The airfield is now Joe Foss Field, named after the Marine WWII fighting ace (with Medal of Honor), General of the Air National Guard, Govenor of South Dakota, President of the National Rifle Association (NFL), and the first commissioner of the American Football League (now the American League of the NFL).
I remember first hearing about this, minus all the details, from my dad when I was very young. I was probably asking questions about big explosions I'd seen in movies and he remembered this event. Granted, he was just a toddler when it happened, but he must have learned about it later.
Read "The Sky is Falling" by Arthur Weingarten, it tells the complete story of the accident. It reads almost like a treatment for a screenplay, this would have made a good disaster movie like "Towering Inferno" but for real. I don't know if this was ever optioned by Hollywood.
I heard the same thing, either the script writer meant to put South Dakota, or a different town in North Dakota. As someone familiar with the area, I definitely caught that one
4:30 You said, 'Sioux Falls, North Dakota.' Sioux Falls is a city in South Dakota. Minot Air Force Base is in North Dakota. Sioux Falls' only military airbase is a National Guard base. Not sure where he was going, but he wasn't going to Sioux Falls, North Dakota, because that place doesn't exist.
Read book about this crash some few years back. As a resident of Manhattan the flight path was easily visualized as it passed over or to the side of Rockefeller Center, the RCA building. The book mentioned an incident on East 34th at the base of the Empire State Buding. A Puerto Rican taxi driverexited his stopped auto and being an ardent Nationalist started firing into the air shouting "Viva Puerto Rico" believing the revolution had begun. NYPD quickly arrested the disappointed revolutionary.
After turning south, the pilot apparently flew directly down Fifth Avenue, trying to gain altitude, not being familiar with the area he mistook the east river for the Hudson, and believed Newark Airport was next. The book is "The Sky is Falling" by Arthur Weingarten, it reads like a script for a disaster movie, I think the author was hoping it would be picked up by Hollywood.

I haven't forgotten this. In fact, there was a day when I was 21 when I heard my clock radio say something about a plane hitting a building, and I thought of this, so I got up and turned on the TV. That day was 9/11/2001.
I've went out and seen another crashed B25 in NY, a couple hours north on the southern face of Friday mountain in the Catskills. The plane is still mostly intact, pretty deep in the wilderness and mostly undisturbed. Super neat. I wonder if they were particularly hard to fly?
In January of 2001, some people on an aviation forum referenced this when asking what would happen if a common wide body airliner of the day, a 767-300 hit the WTC. They said they’d hope to never find out, but unfortunately they would less than a year later.
The Empire State Building was very sturdily built. The World Trade Center was never designed to withstand a head-on collision with a Boeing 767. Of course, maybe all those photos and videos are deepfakes.😂
Overconfidence. Pilot error. Lots of small things just slid into place on this accident. FYI - Sioux Falls is in South Dakota (the more populated of the Dakotas)
No disrespect to a dead man, but almost all his actions on that day were those of somebody just learning to fly, not a senior, decorated Air Force officer with combat experience.
Actually when the World Trade Center was designed the Boeing 747 was already flying and they weighed over 700,000 lbs. Also the planes that struck the World Trade Center were not 767s but smaller 757s. Minor points I realize and the 757 was certainly much larger and packed more fuel than the B-25, but I didn’t want people thinking 737s were the biggest airliners flying in 1973 as the video states. Far from it.
Even in 1966 there were bigger airliners flying than the 737 including the 707 and the DC-8. In fact the Boeing 737 itself didn’t fly until 1967 or enter service until 1968.
0:00 The new world trade centre didn't exist in 1945. But I understand selecting one image more to the left or right takes too much of your time and effort.

Totally different construction methods- The Empire State is of gridded steel and concrete, like a series of small boxes, not open plan at all, if you visit you will be surprised at how cramped the hallways and offices are, and how massive the support columns are and how much space they take up.
I'd argue the twin towers held up to the impact of the planes on September, 11th 2001 well. It was the resulting fires that brought both buildings down.
@@jeffdonnelly7428Wrong. Contrary to what you see in the movies, explosives don’t cause a big fireball and start fires. An airliner full of fuel hitting a building full of combustible materials will start a huge fire. “But jet fuel doesn’t burn hot enough to melt steel!”, you cry. First of all, it doesn’t have to. It just has to weaken it so that it can’t support roughly the weight of an aircraft carrier like it did in its normal state. Second, fires in an enclosed space with lots of oxygen flow will burn significantly hotter than their fuel sources nominal combustion temperatures. The towers were basically turned into blast furnaces in the area where the inner structure collapsed, and since the outer frame (which was part of the support structure) was severely compromised by the impacts, the whole thing came down when the inner supports gave out. (And it’s also likely that some of the rivets holding the crossbeams were weakened enough by the fire that they were just sheared off). “But they found thermite residue!”, you cry. Yes, thermite is regularly used in skyscraper construction and in affixing the main electrical cables to the building frame. It’s normal that thermite would have been there. Also, thermite burns. It doesn’t explode. The movie The Rock lied to you. “But the buildings wouldn’t go straight down,” you cry. Oh, because you’ve seen other 100+ story building collapses? Or any skyscraper collapse? Once structural strength was lost on whatever floor gave way first, the outer frame on the undamaged sides just shattered and didn’t provide any meaningful resistance to force the upper floors to tilt toward the impact side. It might have done so if the outer structure were gone on that side all the way down, but it was only on a few floors, so the vast majority of the force was going straight down. “But stuff was being blown outwards so there must have been an explosion!,” you cry. No, but the force of a rapidly collapsing building and the compressing air inside it will cause a lot of the contents, and the shattered shards of the outer structure, to be blown outward from the building. “But they found a guy’s passport away from the building and it wasn’t burned!,” you cry. So? It could have easily been blown out of the building so quickly that fire never reached it, or it could have been under a person or object that kept oxygen away from it (meaning no exposure to fire), and then gotten blown out during the collapse. “But they say building 7 collapsed from burning debris! Yeah, right!,” you cry. Actually, it collapsed because the sprinkler system was disabled, and because everyone was so focused on the towers and saving lives that they didn’t send firefighters to a building that was empty in the first place. Therefore, the fire burned uncontrolled for hours, and caused the collapse. Ordinarily, it would have been controllable.
Strange how this iron beamed building (without the fire roof coating as withh the wtc) was also doused in burning fuel yet somehow it didn't caollapse into it's own footprint!!??
Not strange at all, completely different design and construction methods between those two buildings, and they were hit by completely different aircraft that were heavier and traveling at a much greater speed. Why would you expect the same results?
I don't think it was the weight of the planes that hit the World Trade Center. It was the massive amount of burning fuel weakening the flooring supports that finally buckled under the heat and allowing everything to fall in.
For God's sake man, your content is great, but manage your speed of speech and your intonation. It's not a race to the finish to spill out stats over how people died. Please take this on board.
The entire building was made of iron and over built beyond belief. Granted I have questions about 9/11. Nothing could knock over a entire iron building with iron bolts
It doesn't need to melt steel beams. It just needs to weaken them slightly. All you have to do is watch a blacksmith at work to know that heating up metal makes it softer and more malleable.
@@TheManFrayBentos There is that too. Comparing the World Trades to the Empire State building is kinda like comparing apples to oranges. They were built 40 years apart with different construction methods and a 767 airliner out weighs a B-25 by a factor of 100. Plus carries 100 times more fuel. Big difference. Cheers
@@Hillbilly001you people are clueless. The whole "jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams" is not in response to the towers collapsing. Its in response to 2 main things. The puddles of steel. The steel beams that looked just like those that were cut(melted) during demolitions.
More like a fully loaded 767 or 757 airliner. Considering a B-25 fully loaded weighs 41,800lbs and a fully loaded 767 weighs 412,000lbs with the 757 comes in between 255,000-273,000lbs. That's why the twin towers were destroyed. Quite a difference between the planes isn't there? Course you could believe that the Lizard Overlords were responsible too.
Yeah it's called a huge plane crashing into it with jet fuel melting everything holding the building together. They prepared it for fires, bombs etc. But no one dreamed of a huge commercial airliner exploding into it and having something that burns as hot as jet fuel.
The gov absolutely thought of a plane going into buildings. They have it in writing way before it happened. They made plans to do that very thing many years before. And many more horrible things. You should look it up. Or believe what what you wish @tyrant7583
It’s almost like it’d take a larger plane, with more fuel, perhaps even a 767. If you ever flew a B-25 you’d realize how small they are, it’s closer to a fighter than a bomber.
NO WAY THIS HAPPENED WTF LOL edit: everyone responding that "yes it happened 🤓" need to get help. I am simply in awe of such an iconic building being hit with a B-25.

Therefore, the fire burned uncontrolled for hours, and caused the collapse. Ordinarily, it would have been controllable.
Wonderful introduction....maybe B-25 pilot....he overestimated his aviation skill too much ..
Strange how this iron beamed building (without the fire roof coating as withh the wtc) was also doused in burning fuel yet somehow it didn't caollapse into it's own footprint!!??
Just shut-up
Not strange at all, completely different design and construction methods between those two buildings, and they were hit by completely different aircraft that were heavier and traveling at a much greater speed. Why would you expect the same results?

In high school, when the first news about 9/11 started coming in, I thought they were talking about this.
I don't think it was the weight of the planes that hit the World Trade Center. It was the massive amount of burning fuel weakening the flooring supports that finally buckled under the heat and allowing everything to fall in.
Indeed. Structural steel when heated loses strength well below its melting point.
Please adjust the speed of your video. You sound like you are auctioning this video. 🤔
It was the Air Force, it would've been the army air corps.
This crash didn't have a demolition crew setting up charges to pancake the building.
Sad & thrilling.World records were set.
damn we got 911 the squeakquel before gta 7
For God's sake man, your content is great, but manage your speed of speech and your intonation. It's not a race to the finish to spill out stats over how people died. Please take this on board.
Learn to listen Linda
If it’s too much for you, up in settings you can slow it down to .25 speed.🥺
Slow the video down or learn how to listen. I'm stoned af and can keep up fine.
He actually is on a time crunch so he's absolutely in need to speak quickly. If you don't like it, don't watch.
Haha ya you even know how many channels this dude runs?
The entire building was made of iron and over built beyond belief. Granted I have questions about 9/11. Nothing could knock over a entire iron building with iron bolts
It also helps that I think the Empire State Building has more solid structural support and the fire was extinguished relatively quickly.
Grim precursor to 9/11.
Controlled demolition.
Jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams
It will weaken steel when there's 20,000-24,000 gallons involved.
@@Hillbilly001 And a fairly strong 1000ft wind.
Blast furnace effect.
It doesn't need to melt steel beams. It just needs to weaken them slightly.
All you have to do is watch a blacksmith at work to know that heating up metal makes it softer and more malleable.
@@TheManFrayBentos There is that too. Comparing the World Trades to the Empire State building is kinda like comparing apples to oranges. They were built 40 years apart with different construction methods and a 767 airliner out weighs a B-25 by a factor of 100. Plus carries 100 times more fuel. Big difference. Cheers
@@Hillbilly001you people are clueless. The whole "jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams" is not in response to the towers collapsing. Its in response to 2 main things. The puddles of steel.
The steel beams that looked just like those that were cut(melted) during demolitions.
It takes more than a fire to make a skyscraper collapse.
More like a fully loaded 767 or 757 airliner. Considering a B-25 fully loaded weighs 41,800lbs and a fully loaded 767 weighs 412,000lbs with the 757 comes in between 255,000-273,000lbs. That's why the twin towers were destroyed. Quite a difference between the planes isn't there? Course you could believe that the Lizard Overlords were responsible too.
Yeah it's called a huge plane crashing into it with jet fuel melting everything holding the building together. They prepared it for fires, bombs etc. But no one dreamed of a huge commercial airliner exploding into it and having something that burns as hot as jet fuel.
The gov absolutely thought of a plane going into buildings. They have it in writing way before it happened. They made plans to do that very thing many years before. And many more horrible things. You should look it up. Or believe what what you wish @tyrant7583
@@wlombardo31"They're eating the dogs." Bet you believe that too. Or how about Israeli space lasers? How about the Lizard Overlords? 🤡🤣
It’s almost like it’d take a larger plane, with more fuel, perhaps even a 767. If you ever flew a B-25 you’d realize how small they are, it’s closer to a fighter than a bomber.

NO WAY THIS HAPPENED WTF LOL
edit: everyone responding that "yes it happened 🤓" need to get help. I am simply in awe of such an iconic building being hit with a B-25.
Stuff like this actually happened somewhat often. Why do you think the initial response on 9/11 was the way it was
Yeah, it happened.
@@lazarussolomon3541 Name another example, lol.
WHY IS DENYING HISTORY 'LOL'
@@KaiLucasZachary You're an idiot if you took the initial comment directly. Or on the spectrum. I'm saying it's such a crazy event that I have a hard time believing it happened. Not that it's a false event. Learn some before I shake you down Zachary
Man ! Can you talk more clearly and slowly? I'm having a hard time understanding
Man! You can slow the speed down yourself on RUclips. Or you could try learning an accent other than your own. Or you could even use lame subtitles
But yeah, all those options would take effort on your part.

Not nearly as boring as your lack of curiosity.
