MiQuel Quiles 9/11 good
Where
Horror for me
100th like :)
and also same 😞
Where?
Funny how at first the Chrysler Building used to stick out above everything, and now it's pretty much buried by every building around it.
It is still incredibly tall
Time marches on.
Never Forget the Chrysler Building😔✊🏼
That's basically what's happened to every large building built before the Empire State Building. Most of the time before the Empire State Building was built, the new tallest building wasn't dramatically bigger that the previous one. But, when it was built, it was so insanely tall and wide for its time that it still stands out today.
Iambic Pentameter still there is nothing like it. Classic, like an old friend.
The skyline is still changing now. Very interesting.
no such thing as interesx or not
no, the weird apartment destroyed the beautiful skyline bro
thats sad
@@scottc7947 I know right bro. The skyline looks awful!

2016: MetLife Building
1971: PANAM Building
what is PANHAM i was born in 2004
It was an airline, but it went bankrupt in 1991.
bennydelon oh okay thx for telling me
I also misspelled PANAM
@@ohnono3931 Pan American World Airways. went bankrupt in 1991.
I hate to see that the twins towers were there at one point then they dissapear
*I miss the twin towers so much. I live in Jersey city and every day when I look at the skyline I miss them. Who knew we could miss skyscrapers.*
@@ThomasJr It's sad they are gone but I am glad something was built there. Southern Manhattan looked so empty between 2001 and 2011.
@@dvferyance Still does. Empty voids for all to see.
Thomas JR. i do too
@Olivia Varela
: I remember seeing the Twin Towers being built. I got to visit the construction site when it was just a giant hole in the ground (and was again many years later). I remember what it was like to see those towers when they were brand new and there was nothing else like them.
I would love to show this video to a New Yorker from the 1930's.
@SEAN PETAIA same
@SEAN PETAIA he means he's gonna show this vid to a 1930's new York that is still alive stupid
@SEAN PETAIA please tell me your joking
@SEAN PETAIA he means hes going to time travel to the 1930s and show it to an yorker
Let's show it to them anyway
Most part of the city barely change over the 80 years... Crazy
Zijie Wu just the tall high rises like the twin towers
its amazing seeing the buildings that were there in 1931 that were super tall and stood out but now are surrounded by new buildings the same height and you can barely see the originals anymore
That Chrysler Building has seen much.
Lady Liberty's seen more, though.
COLSTER Both has seen 9/11 same with Empire State
It was time for Lady Liberty too leave. She has seen everything.
the statue of liberty also could have "seen" how many workers died or were disabled because of that chrysler building. 2 out of 5 died or were totally disabled while working on the tower... it had no security at all
They've seen France lol
A time where that Metlife building used to be Panam.
Instead of Getalife or The futuristic, oppressive country it's known for.
Wait the metlife building is iconic? I thought it was just there because why not
2:26 thats like a moment when you realise your own mortality. Even you are only fleeting and have a beginning and an end.
As a former NewYorker of 25 years, i loved NYC History, this video is just mesmerizing and the music was fitting. I was sad to see the video end. Thank you for making this.
Why did you leave?
@@kalipsicao790 I lived in Queens for 25 years up until 2012 due to the rising rents and the effects of the "Great Recession" still lasting well after it was over. The effects caused everyone to be a penny pincher, nobody was hiring, nobody wanted to spend, jobs were cutting people to save. Even with two jobs i barely was able to pay rent and afford a unlimited MetroCard, i was living off cup noodles to survive. Just before 2012, my rent was going to be higher, so i just packed and moved out of New York. I really do miss the city, its borough's, Coney Island amusement park, and all of the different types of foods from so many nationality's and the NYC Pizza / Clone-Menu Chinese food joints. The only way i keep up with my surrounding former area's of NYC is the updated google maps street view.
When it was fast forwarding the South View and I just saw the Twin Towers disappear I almost teared up omg
Yeah
1827 - 1920
Hahahhaa
Who’s just been watching one building the whole time to see how long it would stand?
me
I kept my eyes on the metlife biulding
Me
the sheer brass to build the tallest building in the world at the time not once, but twice.
miss those twins
This particular video is personal for me since both my grandparents were iron workers when first arriving from Newfoundland,Canada in the early 1920’s.
In fact most of you might be familiar with the photograph of ironworkers on a beam during lunch while building Rockefeller Center in 1932.My grandfather John Lewis was the one sitting with his head turned to his right second to last viewing left to right.There are others with my Dad and uncle working on the World Trade Center as well,so many emerging now I’m only just discovering.
Awesome. My ex grandfather was up on that beam too they have a blown up view of the photo of them having lunch in their house
The WTC- was 100% pure NYC... Well at least we still have the Empire State Building!!!
Gary Allen don’t Jinx it
And the Chrysler Building. The two original staples of NYC.
Don’t you dare
@HearthCricket yeah they were ugly buildings. Still, extremely sad to see them go as well as the people who lost there lives.
Stormy 21 terrorists are basically extinct
Excellent concept and presentation, James! The visual and audio are seamless, providing an experience that is enjoyable on both an educational and artistic level!
Chills all i feel is chills. I miss my towers
We all do
u cute
You just got out of the hole
What towers do you own
@@aatujaaskelainen3871 You can't be that dumb...
Amazing. What a truly incredible and resilient city.
I have spent, or maybe wasted, thousands of hours of my life on RUclips and this is by far the best thing I have ever seen.
This is probably the best video I have seen on RUclips for a long while
This video is great! Now I know what New York City looked like back then! Thank you! ♥️
5:05-5:10 rip :,(

I hate al-Qaeda there are the rebel group that destroyed the twin towers

Answer me
man shout out to you on this vid. I felt like I was in a time machine, amazing work.
This is absolutely fascinating and i’m stunned to see how New York looked 86 years ago.
I can remember our teacher from PS.78 telling us on our field trip Manhattan is an island and at one time was a swamp before they built the skyline
Ultrainstinct Goku they were swampy islands
@Ultrainstinct Goku
: The entire Financial District was built on swampland and dredged-up dirt used as infill. Battery Park in lower Manhattan (southern tip) is built primarily on dredged-up dirt and sand.
THANK YOU!!!....Aaah! Time....as Carmen McRae sings----"Everything must change".......
It's like a simcity soundtrack.
Yes indeed :D

Please do a change over time in the Las Vegas strip?
Now that is a good one.

Showing the evolution of the Las Vegas stip, a giant, tacky, disney-esque nightmare does not compare to viewing the evolution of a great city such as New York!!!

Pleased to have been able to supply the "one small step for man" 1969 photo. Taken just before that step.

5:08 omg when the Towers disappeared it broke my heart. 🥺🥺🥺
Changed my mind.
Delta YT It was forced to be replaced.
@Pog luis that was a year ago, I was just a 15 yr old trying to get attention.
I feel haunted during the transititon from 2004 to 1996
This is wonderful. New york seems more attractive in the 80s than now.
Actually, New York was very dirty and dangerous in the 80’s. Very disorganized it started to cleanup in the 90’s and progressively got better until 9/11. From then on it cleaned up its act in a steady fast fashion as it was shaken to the very core. It is wonderfully beautiful today with many high rise projects underway and planned.
Idaho fokusz
TCar dying city?
because liberals didn't ruin the city back then
There's a reason the movie Escape from New York was made in the 80s, because that's what people thought of the future of the city. It's much better now.
This was really well done. I enjoyed the music also.
New York has always been way ahead of its time. I'm sure up until the 1940s-1950s around 90-95% of all skyscrapers in the world were in both NYC and Chicago only.
Loved the background music that went with the "time travel". I wish I could go back in time before NYC started resembling the movie set of a science fiction "space opera". The city must have been more inviting when just a few towers (with interesting architecture) were there, when it was largely brownstones, and beautiful mansions. Now NYC is just overwhelming, dark and scary.
I've never been although it's ok the to see list
1:34 That building on the down left corner was very old. Still looks modern at present.

why there wasn’t 2001 in south view
Because of the atacks bruh
Bruhhhhh
That’s the reason why there should’ve been
funny how the empire state building was built nearly 100 years ago, up to this day, it still looks timeless.
It makes me severely sad about the twin tours
Very interesting and imaginative video. I wonder if somehow, someone could start from 200 years ago and show a time lapse of those same views in a continuous progression.
Theres is here the video is called *our story in 6 minutes*
They didn’t have cameras 200 years ago
Anne Butzen no they didn’t. They didn’t even have air back then..
@@wickedgaming9807: They didn't have skyscrapers back then, either. :-) Can't do the same views.
They have a video like that on the elevator in the world trade center
Really enjoyed it. Great idea.
i miss world trade ctr
It's still here.
Murtaza Aslam it was destroyed
pikachu 4562ko And then rebuild :/
Murtaza Aslam. Ther is a new tower
Courtlovesgta me as well i was born in 2004 and im only 13 they are my favorite buildings in NYC
I’ve been living here all my life. :’)
Since when? 80s?
@@AtheistMorax No nigga above 12 watches MaximilianMus
My main takeaway from watching this is that, at least since 1931, New York City has been a dense metropolis with barely an inch of free land. Over the course of these decades, it has merely replace some of the older buildings with taller buildings. This is an awesome video, though.
This is really great. Glad I could help. Interesting.
Ray Cunningham good morning
Lindora Munoz good evening
danks brother good night
2:13 I remember hearing that when Imagine Dragons opened with their song, “Demons” for some of the Evolve tour

This gave me the chills
1920-1930's New York ruled.
As soon as it said south view I knew I was in for a ride
This is an incredible video. Really enjoyed it
Good job 👍👍👍 I miss the old New York. This New York today, does not feel like NYC anymore... I think New York started to lose its feel after September 11th... every year since that day, New York has felt less, and less like it used to be..
I really love New York City
I am a survivor from the 89th floor. And 9/11 will happen again not soon but later. I will never forget the firefighters running up the stairs and the expression on there face was we are never going to get out of these buildings alive. And the people that knew they where going to die. The picture in my mind of me and people I didn’t even know all holding hands and walking in the street crying and calling loved ones there had to be about 20 people people just grabbed each other and just walked no where to go just walked we walked 10 blocks to we all hugged and said good bye and one lady said thank you all for walking with me I just lost my husband and my oldest son! This day will never be forgotten
The very very beginning of the video sounded like the beginning of back to the future
Great video of New York 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
at 2:57 i was looking at the building (the third building in the very front) that building was there for years :0
Watching this in 2021 makes me miss these old times in New York the first time I went there now I am 15 I was 11 when I went
the new york skyline was so empty during 2001-2006
Chrysler Building has always been my favorite!! Love these videos! Thank you!
I've enjoyed your videos of NYC, I love NYC.
Honnestly, I absolutly not from the US (I'm from the country who helped the US for the war of US independence
Overall I noticed lots of new, taller skyscrapers throughout the 70s
One of few cities that apparently just keeps getting better!
Who else got the feels when the twin towers showed up?
TheChickenLovesTheWing Tehehehe me....holy shit that's fascinating

When you realize this was made in 2016 and so that could mean it gets a bit lace on this presentation
3:36 and 4:29 photos looks like same quality
They probably had a expensive camera
It seems that even the air and the weather looked more beautiful and interesting in the old days
Hi, James Fox. Can you make an updated version of ‘New York: A Journey Through Time’, same for ‘San Francisco: A Journey Through Time’ because my father originated from there and see the changes in the skyline through the years. Can you also make ‘Singapore: A Journey Through Time’ because I live here and I want to see the changes through time from like Raffles period to current day?
That really hit me...R.I.P every lost soul in the most tragic thing terrorist attack... 9/11.
how is that possible?
the way on how most colored cameras through the 50s or 70s look like early 2000's photos..
So many of those buildings have been around for a long time. great video I've watched it over and over
4:04 R.I.P Twin towers.
New York is the best city.
fascinating!
The buildings had so much more character in the roaring 20s,but in life people think Bitter is better....
The City that never sleeps 🙂
