1999 INSIDE THE TWIN TOWERS - WORLD TRADE CENTER - NEW YORK

- NEW YORK - Vacanza dal 7 al 21 aprile 1999 - Due anni prima dell'attentato dell'11 settembre ero dentro una delle Twin Towers. A 10 anni di distanza mi vengono ancora i brividi a pensare a quello che è successo alle persone presenti al momento del crollo. Lo pubblico in memoria delle vittime e delle loro famiglie.

The Twin Towers are like ghosts.They'll haunt us forever and yes, it's like they're still there. When I was 5 I watched Jungle 2 Jungle in Theaters. My parents felt inspired to take me to New York and look at the Twins. I'll never forget this day. We celebrated my 7th birthday on the 107th floor. Blessed be everyone who died on that awful September day.
probably the most dead on description of how it feels when you see them pre 9-11. Its a sickening but beautiful site...but you nailed it with ghostly.
Still feels odd they are not there. Like an alternate reality where nothing happened.
They were such a masterpiece of the structural engineering. Can't believe they are gone forever
pablo martinez Asbestos though
Never say Never
Such a shame. Imagine seeing that whole city below you, and no one to help you. R.I.P. to all that passed that day, you will NEVER be forgotten.
That drop is huge. Those people that jumped off must have been so sad to do it
quite breathtaking when these giants appear out of nowhere at 0:13
It's like early Sony PlayStation 1, you drive and see buildings appear out of nowhere.

if i worked in a building that high i would bring a parachute to work everyday
+Logan F. they could've used one on September 11th lol
+Logan F. One guy actually did jump from the top of one of those towers with a parachute back in the 70's.
😂 that's the exact same thing I say😂
+Betzaida Pena Going to assume you guys were too young to understand life back then. During those times an attack like this was UNTHINKABLE no one ever thought that this would happen. When the planes were first reported hijacked no one believed it because it had never really happened before. A parachute sounds like a good idea now but back then no one had any idea that this would've happened. This day changed America A LOT and I mean A LOT.
+Logan F. yes, should be standard...
Pretty haunting that's the last view many people ever saw.
Pause at 5:34... Now Close your eyes with that picture in head. take a deep breath.. And imagine yourself leaning your body forward... forward and forward until you're falling.. Falling too the end. Take the next roughly 10 seconds to take in your life and what you've accomplished. Hold your breath and imagine being unable to breathe falling at terminal velocity. open your eyes. and Accept what's happening! Accept your fate. As you hit the ground. And have your life taken from you.
I'm not a religious man. But times like this I ask you to pray.. and pray hard. For those that lost their lives on that dark dark day. Not only for America. But for Humanity.
the lift was so fast, it just took around 1 minute to reach 107th floor!
I was think the same thing
I wish that they just rebuilt them better and stronger. Like 100% or so the same. They look just so cool, one of my favorite things about them is the little curve/arch things at the bottoms. I wish I was born earlier and saw them
Remember flying to New York from Ireland a year after the 9/11 incident. I went to see where they went down. To me it looked like a gigantic football pitch of a hole. It was such a horrible feeling. Felt like I was in a graveyard. Then it pissed me off to see people charging tourists 7€ for photos of the people that were falling out of the towers. As a true Irish man I went to the nearest Irish bar and drank to forget the night.
interesting story sir
When you think that people jumped from there. Crazy !
One can only imagine the level of hopelessness to come to that decision...
Hard to imagine how bad things were that jumping out was the better option. Very sad.
wouldn't it hurt, or would you pass out before hitting the ground?
+Kade no it won't hurt you will pass out before hitting the ground.
+Sweet Violet2016 umm no you would not ..there would be no g force from a ten second fall ..hence skydiving
Jarbas Saint-Claire falling from a. High height doesn't hurt as much as burning to death..
I was in the World Trade Center twice, once in 1998 and again just 2 days before 911.
You are lucky. I would have loved to visit their before 9-11.
Who knew that two years later planes would crash into them
xGamingGenius yup
xGamingGenius me >:)
Its weird to see them standing without all the smoke and chaos going on... it's impossible to get the image of what happened out of my head while seeing this.
The original World Trade Center was so much better then the replacement towers. They had more floors, a higher observatory and totally set off the New York skyline. They should have rebuilt them but instead of 110 stories each make them 111.
Michtario shut up
Michtario it's pretty dangerous to do that having little floors should be safe for mow
Zany Andres 😳
There were plans to build two 115 story towers, promoted by Donald Trump.
Seeing this video didn't feel like I was watching something from years ago. It just felt like NOW. Obviously none of this is there now but seeing it almost feels like it still exists somehow just like this.
It feels weird doesn't it. It's like they were there but they are not. They were beautiful, strong, and an American landmark it's so crazy that their gone. Imagine the Statue of Liberty being destroyed and everyone remembers where they were that day but then kids that were too young to remember or were never born don't care or realize the significance of it because they were too young. That same concept can be applied to these towers for the younger generation. New York will never be the same.
Scary to think the window he may have been looking out from would later be a window someone was jumping out from...
The observation deck was closed on 9/11
I wasn't talking about the observation deck.
I'm so happy people like you upload these videos. This is the best way to never forget. We should absolutely remember the terrible things that happened that day but these videos remind us what we had.
Great Camera for 1999! This video was nice and refreshing.I will never forget the terrible events that day and watching it all go down live.RIP.
It's hard to watch this after knowing what happened. Rip to the people, AND the buildings.
I can't help but wonder if any of the victims were in this video.
Oh my god true!
Aaron Husar I mean it was filmed in 1999 but still your kind of right and its pretty scary to think about it
NightWing 420 scary is thinking of people look down from the buildings like that thinking do I die in the building or jump crazy!!
Oh.. watching this feels weird. It's such a normal video of the towers where people are visiting them.
It could be a really nice planet if all wars and fucked-up people wouldn't exist.. :(
Sally McCaffrey Yes.
Unfortunately we live in a world ruled by the devil judgment is coming tho.
Such beautiful buildings.... 😢
I was going to say that
thank you for uploading this vid. my dad was in the north tower of the WTC and this made me cry. I miss my dad :'(
I'm sorry for your loss
your dad died with the twin towers?
I'm so sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss
:( , it'll be alright love ya
Wow cant believe all of that got destroyed. That was hard work.
Such a shame.
Wow. Thanks to this guy filming it, this is essentially my first time experiencing this tour for the first time in my life! I wish I would have gone up in it with my family, because there was one time we considered going there, but we were too tired and decided not to. Too bad...
Thanks filming guy! 😄😱👍🏻
This is the twin towers footage I love to see
As a kid my dad took me there. Took
The subway and then went to the top floor and all over the building. Somehow he made it out that day I have no idea how till this day but I'm sure glad he did. He just ran the plumbing and the plumbers. I do remember shitting my pants a little At the top floor though. They also had this tube with metal rails inside it that went around the whole building with plastic balls and you could send one out and it ended up back at you . Too bad the machine was out of order when I went my dad loved that thing. I'll never forget just looking down at the streets. Looked like that rug with the streets and buildings stitched in it sitting below your feet. To the lives lost RIP.
these were really pretty buildings it was amazing to be so high up I remember Windows on the world
I saw them from the tappan zee bridge back in 2000 when I was in the US for the first time. I wish I could say I saw them up close or even went up the top. Class looking buildings.
Roblox Gamings says the one with a roblox profile pic
beautiful towers... remember what happened inside them is so sad. knowing how some people are by the power and money is easy to understand what was done. no doubts about it...
Thank you so much for posting this! I lived in NYC right by the WTC in 1999 and I was often taking visitors up to the Tower. It was such a part of my daily life that I took it for granted and I never really took video or pictures. I was so lucky because I didn't lose anyone that day but knew of many that lost loved ones. And I always think that I probably passed by those that were lost every day out on the street. I will never forget that horrible day and all of those amazing and beautiful lives that were lost. RIP.
Am I the only one who felt that the lady playing the violin in the beginning was serving as some sort of future tribute for the towers? Lol I mean the sad violin just made me think of that.
Jamesharay Ray that was a little too heartbreaking for me
Nice camera for 1999
+bryant craft Yeah not like a potato!
Why do people act like the 90s were the stone age? We had great cameras (and pretty much everything else) well before then!
Shannon Lee
Sure if you wanted to spend a fortune. Enterprise recording equipment was a lot better.
gdfschimpi007 You didn't necessarily have to spend a fortune. My parents didn't have a lot of money but always seemed to have high quality stuff.
To think I was with my family visiting New York a month before 9/11 standing at the base of these two towers is crazy to me. I wish we would have gone into the observatory but I think it was like $17 per person to go in. I'm not sure because I faintly recall it as I was only 6 years old.
Wish they were still there :(
The World Trade Center was so amazingly impressive! Compared to the original World Trade Center the new one looks so boringly ordinary...
Yes it does, the original wtc was the mecca of NYC buildings. I miss them so much, especially seeing them at night. Funny thing is on the morning of 911, I was supposed to pass thru the wtc, but I overslept and never made it to ny that day fateful day. 13 years later, and even more madder than before. All those people that died in those towers. Rest in paradise.
You're going to call the new ones ordinary.. The old ones were grey rectangles.. Not saying I don't like them better but they certainly weren't not ordinary
Ugh, imagine what it must have been like for people in the highest floors DURING the collapse and until the very end. Fuck that! :(
I've had nightmares of that. Weird. I've never even seen them in person. That must have been scary as f for real I'd probably just have a heart attack .
Jim Faust I actually did have a specific nightmare I was in one of the towers before the attack and an omen told me to get out, immediately. I did then once I was on the street, the explosion and I was pelted with pieces of brick and glass. Scary real :/
Leafdroid Hell :/ I just cant get over how REAL it was. The towers looked exactly like they did back then and in videos, I was up maybe in the middle or so... and yeah something told me "GET OUT, Something BAD is going to happen!" and the moment I got to ground level and across the street, the enormous explosion, the glass, bricks and debris showered down on me and it felt all too real. This dream has stuck with me for years :(
***** Both ways are an absolute nightmare and how horrible things would have to be for you to willingly leap, fall to the ground and die that way than the other way, being burned to death.
Shawn Bateman Well, what a surprise to see you commenting on this video!
I went to New York about 3 weeks ago and saw the water falls and it was very sad and heart breaking of how many people that died
Far more beautiful and bold buildings than what they were replaced with.
There just square and talk to be honest
Joel Cornette the new tower is still square it's almost the same but more prettier
But they had something. Minoru Yamasaki did a good job in designing them.
Got to admit though, the sun reflecting off the face of the 1 WTC buildings during sunset is a beautiful sight to see in remembrance for the fallen.
and also if you decided not to look at the website I'll just say that the Twin Towers II was going to be 1858 ft with antenna and 1475 feet without so its taller than what we have now, with 115 floors what we have now is 1776 ft of ugliness to our skyline. and its only gonna get worse when the second one comes, just you wait. lol
this video gave me the chills
my grandpa still suffers from respiratory problems because of the dust
+Connor G. Sadly( And he was there when the towers fell?
The old towers are gone may the new towers be blessed of luck.
Just bittersweet memories now.
High quality footage for 1999. I still find it unbelievable that such marvels of human ingenuity were brought down by a small group of thoughtless, close-minded individuals. It's not hard to see why many in the Middle-East disliked the West prior to and after 9/11. Exploitation and war-mongering are things we've long been guilty of. But goddamn, why did these buildings ever need to fall? Killing 3000 innocent people isn't a way to get your point a cross; it's a way to rally pretty much the entirety of the most powerful region in the world against you.
this is a very great video to get an impression of how giant these awesome towers were.
R.I.P.
I'd like to see more videos about people enjoying and visting these towers and less about 911
Mille grazie, Alessio!
This is so ghostly to think that those building arent there anymore and havent been for the last 12 years but watching it on youtube as if this was shot yesterday.
I wish I was born a few years earlier so I could've visited the WTC
me and my brothers and nephew and my brothers girl was there but it was at night time and for some reason we had to leave because my nephew busted his knee going up the staires and couldnt walk cause it was hurting
lucky as hell
Watching the inside fills me with fear
Two interesting notes about the elevator:
1. There is a 13th floor. (Ironically, those people survived.)
2. In the South Tower, only four people survived past the 84th floor. So, some of the jumpers would have jumped from the very floor that these visitors were on (107).
Who knew it would be gone in two years.
i hope they will rise again one day
+Keyshawn Scott 12 I was thinking that today to
Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney.
Well they have built the "One World Trade Center" now. Or do you mean an exact replica of the original World Trade Center?
Yeah , the original twin towers were the best and only
or looking down hanging like 2 feet out of a broken window gasping for air. I always wondered what kind of conversations were going on between those poor people trapped. Crying, Screaming, Praying, Yelling, Silence? I wonder if some were calm and conpletley certain that they would be rescued or if people were saying goodbyes to each other or if some people were cracking jokes in an attempt to calm others down. I don't know why but I think about it a lot. I guess we'll never know.
I see you uploaded it on the September 11!
cant even imagine jumping from that height
Would you rather die slowly suffocating in smoke, or die instantly? They really didnt have a choice
The firefighters could've had rescue crash pads..... That would keep the people trapped in the towers alive after jumping...... :(
***** Well, the largest and softest ones possible TBH...
Yeah they said that's why a lot of them did it
yo opino que las torres gemelas del wtc fueron únicas e impresionantes, de chico soñé con subirme al observation deck, lametable mente las destruyeron cuando tenia 4 años, no tuve oportunidad de ir, y las torres son mejores de la que hay ahora en su sitio 1000 veces mejor, gracias por el video y lo importante es que existieron y con respeto R.I.P a las victimas y familiares que murieron en 11-09-2001
Great camera for 1999, looks like it was filmed using an iphone 4 :P
much better cameras existed in 1999
PLOTWIST: Maybe it WAS an iPhone and the guy filming this was a time traveller! O.o
It's kind of insane when you see all those people and maybe some of them were dead 2 years later. And how when this video was taken they went home to their families not knowing what was going to happen in the years to come
Although I never got the chance to visit the WTC, my Dad got the opportunity to visit the top level of the WTC in the 70's when he was in the U. S. Navy...RIP all who lost their lives...thanks for posting!
I feel so bad the twin towers were my life i visited them atleast once a month they were beutiful one of a kind and gave you the feel of freedom i remember the day 9/11 happend i was in washington DC i was visiting the white house when i heard a loud explosion a plane had crashed into the pentagon i called my parents to tell them and that is how i
Found out about the towers being hit by a plane my parents
Were watching from the statue of liberty they had visited that
Day my little brother wanted to see it and like 10 minutes later i heard an explosion the south tower had been hit my mom had taken lots of pictures to show me. When i saw all that going on i was going to board a plane to NY but my parents didnt want me to i was such a sad day. In washington it was a catastrophe people were leaving the white house and i saw atleast 50 firefighters and police cars go by i just saw lots of smoke. When i got back to NY i felt NY wasent the same and part of my childhood was gone.
When i heard about NY rebuilding the WTC and Donald Trump sponsoring Twin Towers II i kind of felt my childhood home was going to be back but when i heard about the Freedom Tower i was sad and felt that it didnt represent new york New York is not a modern futuristic city like One World Trade looks and the twin towers felt like home they represented america. And bin laden died happy nowing the majestic american landmark was not going to be here the Freedom Tower is not even closed to being the shadow of the Twin Towers. I just hope one day they rebuild my childhood home so i can take my kids and tell them "kids these are the towers that represent and show other countried we are strong even if they knock us down we are going to stand back up" i can show them how that place feel like your free and happy. I have been to the new WTC and it dosent have that feel of home. Please rebuild the twin towers
+Minion Banana you seriously toke the words out of my mouth, the twin towers were an icon for NY just like the liberty statue and the empire state building, the new tower REALLY fails at that it looks more like something ill see in China or Dubai not NY...it really doesn't fit with whole skyline of NY and it doesn't fit the spirit of of city...for shame
I wonder if some of the people in this video died that day On 9/11
michael delgado. me toooo
Grazie.
i was only one when it went down i still wish that i could of gotten the opportunity to go up it.
Me too!
A e to 0 0 to 99ok I will 9
me to
+anthony lambing which is why we should have rebuilt them exactly how they were. could have changed their positions and still made a great memorial... i understand why some families wouldn't like that, but at the same time it shows a certain kind of weakness/fear that we didnt
pezcore68 yes it does they should of
I visited the WTC once. There was a woman crying on one of the floors banging on a window. She was escorted out but no one understood why she was crying. She kept saying they're all going to fall and she started pointing around to the doors where people were inside working. It freaked me out at the time but I thought she was just crazy.
LadyDominion did that really happen?
LadyDominion when was this? that is eerie, a time traveler?
LadyDominion really
For all that live in New York has the atmosphere changed since 911? Like a sense of sadness and not so feel good anymore? Or is it exactly the same as it was? I just can't see how a city can ever be the same again after such a tragedy.
I've seen a lot of videos of Manhattan on RUclips, people still going strong and happy, from what I could make of it. Just goes to show you can't break peoples spirits no matter what. I reckon it would of bonded the community and brought them together stronger and closer. That's just my opinion anyways. Hope some real New Yorkers could elaborate.
Star tracker - city is back to normal. Business as usual, that's not to say that we will ever forget 9/11 and then early 3,000 innocent lives lost. They are in my prayers along with their loved ones. Thanks to the firemen, police, first responders, and all other civil service workers.
Star tracker yes thier is. the further downtown you go, the more depressing it feels. not many people are cheery in downtown anymore
well it messed up my childhood when 9/11 happened -_-
devil mishka its actually really quiet nowadays over thier. It used to be really loud and happy back then. The silence is deafening now.
Buen video. Buena calidad para ser el año 1999. Para los que no tuvimos la oportunidad de verlo se agradece que hayas compartido tus recuerdos. Gracias!
I had the weirdest dream that the WTC was in WINNIPEG. Mind you, I was on Morphine, after surgery. AMAZING dream, though. But still, I look at pics of those buildings and they would swallow any two buildings in Winnipeg, they were so huge, in width as well as height.
My Uncle worked in one of thease towers he didn't make it out.
My Condolences. 🙏🇺🇸
Fuck
i never knew about twin towers before the attack but i feel so sad when i see them...
You never knew of them? How?
Sweet Violet2016 He probably wasn't born until after.
Joaquin Matson// SHADONTHEHEDGEHOGXX or really young.
I would of loved to visit the towers. Horrible what happened to the buildings and the people inside. Such a shame. Once a year they would gather up the pupils in my school and would show us the same footage of the events that day 9/11 of what happened in remembrance. Im from england btw.
Thank you so much for this video--we don't have the twin towers anymore--but I have been looking for pictures of the space itself--the interior. This is wonderful.
I was on the observation deck 2 days before 911. such a sad day for everyone in New York and the world.
I dont care, i could not jump ... Then again, burning alive. Maybe one would just do it. Some properly got heart attacks on the way down, so fucking horrible. Remember watching it live on TV, could not believe it.
Until you're in that situation you don't know what you do.
Serious question but could someone get motion sickness in a lift that was going that high up?
Star tracker some get motion sickness just being up there. The towers sway slightly
Imagine from that view 5:17, a fucking plane coming at you at full speed. My god, what a way to go
intel citizen unfortunately some people did see that
intel citizen actually that's the second tower so the plane actually came from the angle at 6.22 secs of the video. About 30 floors below. Now imagine that
OMG! That music is so haunting at the beginning. Gives me chills.
5:36 I remember exactly the roof of this building below how many people fell on her getting goose bumps because the operator filming perspective of anyone who has jumped years later ....
Very nice video. Thank you.
Beato te che le hai viste e ci sei stato
thank u !
This floor was not yet open at 9pm when the place crashed . am i right ?
I remember standing there that day of September 11 2001
The image stuck in my head is of the poor people who knew they were done and jumped
#neverforget
Also NOT A INSIDE JOB IT WAS NOT OUR GOVERNMENT IT WAS A TERRORIST ATTACK
Alec Tennessen Finally someone who agrees.
It was bush jet fuel can't melt steel beams
gangsterhood21 The steel beams didn't melt.
R.I.P
I feel so bad for that day of 9/11/01. I wasn't even born yet but I wish there were still around and standing more proudly more than ever. But a f***ing plane crashed into the north and south tower. That was the most horrific day America ever went through. If this happened after my birth like 2005 or 2008 that will literally f*** me up for life. :(
you need to quit cussing. You can get your point across without being so rude.
I am not rude! How dare you say that about me? This is a horrible thing, I do agree, plus you can't tell me Im wrong, because when I used my curse words i did it like b**ch, I didn't spell it out fully. So please keep your nose out of my business. Thank you.
niiice! finally get to see what i missed!
5:10 "Oliwia odwróć się"
Must of been good to have jazz playing around you in those times.
this is a gold video
They should have built two freedom towers.
I visited the Twin Towers once in 1995, and again on a class trip in 2000, a little less than a year before the attacks.
Czy tylko ja słyszałam ,,Oliwia odwróć się"? 5:11

Great vid man, so many great things and people lost on that terrible day, it's great to be able to see it again, r.i.p. to lost their lives on and as a result of 9/11
the violin music sounds so relainxing!
I think some jumped to escape what they thought was a terrible dream :(
1 day after the Columbine Massacre.
So thats why people are just. Silent.
I did not notice that
Does anyone know the name of the girl playing violin in the beginning?
Yes
Der Volksfreund her name is Yes?
Der Volksfreund then why didn't you say it
Because I don't know the name.
Der Volksfreund do you mind sharing it
so sad and haunting watching this knowing what would happen to them
thinking about people going about their normal days etc just heartbreaking
all just to be demolished in one of the biggest shams in history.
leaving New York scarred for life :(
