I say this in a most gratifying way you have brought tears to my eyes. I'm 62 and as a child me and my father would go down to the west side and just sit and watch those buildings being built. I remember when the West side highway was elevated down there and you could drive past and look down at the construction. I also must have a couple of hundred pictures of those buildings. I was obsessed. Sometimes I would get up at 3 in the morning on my day off and drive down by Liberty State Park to get pictures of the sun coming up somewhere behind them and stay until the sun set behind me. If you were there at the right time when the sun was setting it looked like someone threw neon orange paint across the middle of the buildings. I must not have had the right filter to capture it. In the pictures they show up looking like they're solid brass. Week after they went down my company donated some equipment to the workers. Before we even got off the triboro you could smell burnt electrical and death. We took 14th Street to the west side and as soon as we got there it looked like a sci-fi movie. Flood lights everywhere everyone in full hazmat. My truck had to get sprayed going in and out. I talked my way into the rooftop of a building across the street and we looked down at the horror. I cried like a baby. Not something I'm prone to. Anyway I'm glad I got to live in the time of their construction and beauty. Brooklyn heights was another great place to get some good shots. The contrast between the gothic structure of the Brooklyn bridge and the modern almost sterile architecture of the twin towers made for some nice pics. I remember some famous architect referring to them as two Giant cheese boxes , but I loved them . BTW at 7:38 I took the exact same picture what looks like had to be the exact time of day. ♥️ I will not watch this to the end because well, you know. In closing I cannot thank you enough. ♥️
These buildings fit perfectly and adorned lower manhattan. These buildings were the property and pride of the United States!!! Undoubtedly the greatest creations of architecture. I admire them. I even made an exact mock-up of them at home, which I admire every day. I am very sorry about what happened this is a real pain for the entire people of the United States and for the whole world. TERRORISM MUST BE PUNISHED!!! I sincerely sympathize with those families who lost their loved ones that day🙏🙏🙏 God bless them🙏🙏🙏 I am very sorry that I did not find these great Twin Towers. I have a dream to visit New York and visit these towers. But unfortunately the second will never come true😭 I am very sorry that people died because of the terrarists and that those whoGreetings dear man! You are the person I would like to talk to. I want to tell a little story, to be more precise, what inspired me to make this video. I myself am Russian, I live in Russia, I was born in the early 2000s, but, unfortunately, after the tragedy. Alas, I didn’t catch the twin towers (The story began when on September 11, 2021, those terrible shots were shown on television in Russia. It was 20 years of the tragedy. They showed that broadcast in full from and to and how they collapsed, I looked at all this and I rolled out tears it was so terrible😱😭 I decided to put a video on RUclips on this topic.I did 20 years of the tragedy of the World Trade Center Towers.And when I was making a video for the tragedy of the twin towers, I began to look at photos on the Internet. Previously, I treated these towers as 2 identical boxes. But when I became seriously interested in this topic, when I studied the drawings and layout of these buildings, when I looked at all the photos of all time, I realized that these are not just 2 boxes. There was something in them, despite the simple shape of 2 parallelepipeds, there was something beautiful, powerful, graceful, majestic, powerful, strong rushing upwards in them. I got into these two buildings. I didn’t just like them, I fell in love with them, I became in some way their background. It was truly a symbol of the United States, it is the pride of the country, the great buildings are beautiful and the grandeur of which you can admire forever!!!like I was born on 9/11 there will never be a chance to visit these beautiful properties!!! I wish the skyline of New York was restored again and the twin towers would shine again in the rays of the sun!!! It would be like a phoenix being reborn from the ashes. I have great respect for all those who suffered that day and God grant them the kingdom of heaven to innocent people 🙏🙏🙏
@@explorex8918 Reading your comment it's easy to see how you were able to put together something so beautiful and touching. You have a beautiful vast Heart. I about 35 years ago I had seen a photograph of the twin towers centered right behind the Tower of the Brooklyn bridge. I decided I wanted to take that picture. I looked on a map and was able to calculate within a few feet where I had to stand. It was a very dilapidated Pier that went about 50 ft out into the Hudson. They were holes the size of truck tires that went straight down into the water. I carefully made my way out to the exact spot I needed to be in but unfortunately it was an overcast day. And you couldn't even see the city behind the bridge. The picture looked like it was taken in the early 1900s. I'll tell you what though, on a clear day the view from the observation deck was breathless. I have a quick story for you, my sister worked on the 86th floor I believe the name of her company was Marsh McMillan. She used to commute to the city from Westchester by train. Every morning she would pick up a cup of coffee at this little coffee shop right outside the train station. That morning the man who always makes her coffee gave her the wrong one. She went to return it and missed her Express train which would have put her at her desk when the planes hit. Her company had the second-highest amount of casualties . She's hardly ever late anywhere but THAT morning she was. And she is still with us. Crazy , right ? I can't thank you enough for what must have been many many hours of painstaking work to put that video together. You and your work will hold a place in my heart. Stay safe Brother and keep shining. 🌟🌟🌟

Did you know? The World Trade Center (1970s - 2000s) was supposed to be finished in the ‘50s or ‘60s but because we didn’t have technology for that height yet the project was postponed until the late ‘60s and ‘70s.
You are right, but not entirely. Yes, the idea of a world trade center appeared back in the 50s. This idea was connected with the fact that it would revive business in the lower part of Manhattan, which was empty, unlike the area where the Empire State Building stood. At 50s, it was already clear where the future WTC complex would be located. But the idea of building exactly the tallest towers in the world and that these would be twin towers arose much later (initially the project was not going to be so large-scale and ambitious - in the 50s it was meant to be much more modest than what turned out in the end). In 65-66s, the idea of the tallest skyscrapers, the Twin Towers, was born, and the construction of the twin towers itself began in 68s. If the Port Authority of New York had not encountered the difficulties of implementing the WTC project back then in the 50s, then none of the twin towers would have been built. Because the idea of the tallest twin towers would not have had time to mature.
@@christianstewart113❤❤❤ me too!! One day I was watching documentary about the city I am living in at the moment. It was finishing 15 km from where my house is now 🥰 I was trying to imagine myself sitting in the middle of the field on my couch 20 years before I was born with my WI-FI working already in 1960 🙈😂
12:30 was extremely sad. I remember that day as if it were yesterday and you can tell something was missing from 2002 onwards. It was nice seeing all those pictures of those towers being built in the late 1960s all the way into the 70s and seeing their best images from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.
I'm _Brazilian_ and I'm fascinated by this beautiful city of _New York,_ which 100 years ago was already overpopulated. Just like the city of _São Paulo_ here in _Brazil,_ _São Paulo_ was founded in 1554 and also grew and evolved at a fast pace, and today it is considered the largest city in _South America._
@@stairwayazure8087 the reality is that every city in every country in the world always has a part that seems the most neglected, and always has the most beautiful and cared for part. New York is the same, but it is also a city that pollutes a lot and is much bigger than São Paulo. I don't live in São Paulo I live in the interior of the *State of São Paulo* and around here the air quality (oxygen) is great. If you do a search: *What are the more polluting countries in the world* you will be surprised.
You never realize how integral or important something is until it's gone. You could tell just by how the photos from the early 19's through the 50's everything was taken from the ground level looking out and up and it was more or less showing time square and the surrounding areas, homes and whatnot (though I'm not a New Yorker, so take my understanding and processing of the areas with a grain of salt). When the 60's rolled around everything started to get taller and so were the photos, or much more of a landscape, panoramic type of photos. Once the Twin Towers were complete, there wasn't a single photo that didn't contain them, no matter where in the city or the surrounding areas. They defined the New York skyline for decades! A symbol if you will. Not only the skyline but everything about NY City itself when it comes to photography. It seems that nothing was right after that tragic day. Though admittedly seeing and remembering the Empire State lit up like it was after was so hauntingly beautiful. I was fortunate enough to go to NY in '99 and to walk right next to and stare up at these monstrous buildings. So tall it seemed like you had to turn around and look up to see the top as if it were looming over you. Only being 9 at the time I couldn't truly grasp the simple and sleek yet beautiful architecture of these towers. My mom has photos (Somewhere) of the one and only time our family was there, taking photos from Liberty Island looking back over the Skyline and just thinking WOW! Would love to find those pictures one day. I remember everything about that day, the day that everything changed. I was in a doctors office having a check up to a broken ankle that I had suffered the previous school year. Spent the entire summer in a cast, not getting to enjoy the freedom of summer that every kid loves and looks forward to. On that day, at only 11, I learned that regardless of my pain and suffering, and the freedoms I was so upset about losing that summer... paled in comparison to what others lost, freedoms that were stolen from entire lifetimes of people, and their families. The pain of losing that much by any means (much less from a terroristic attack) was too great for me to, from that point forward, try to receive sympathy from anybody. That day changed many people, myself included. Some people choose to look on the bright side of life knowing that whatever you're going through- there's people out there that have dealt with the same and MUCH worse, and they've made it through. They persevered. Others were changed in negative ways and not just those who were involved first hand. And to the ones who felt compelled or obligated to pick up arms and go to war. The families who had to bury loved ones from it. To say that only 2977 (2996 including the hijackers) were lost on this day is inaccurate. So much more has happened in the domino effect of this that it's impossible to give an accurate number of fatalities. But being honest, I feel like everyone who was old enough to comprehend the gravity of the attacks, were lost that day. I know personally a part of me was lost. I can't even begin to imagine how the older crowd felt as an 11 year old. It's wild to me that I now work with people who weren't even born until years after. The term Never Forget can't apply to them. They know of the event, through history books, but the books only describe so much. That gut wrenching feeling is something I'll never forget and something that a book can't tell you about. Not looking down on the younger generation here. Just pointing out that the noticeable differences could boil down to this one, tragic event. Considering there's only a 12 year span (not really that long). You can tell the difference. So for anyone to downplay the significance of this or to make jokes is beyond asinine. Thanks for uploading this video. It was nice to see the ending with ONE WTC being built and finished and it seemed like it was back to the "NORM" as far as iconic goes. The new tower is majestic and is starting to define the new skyline. It won't ever be the same, but it is almost as if to say- We're back! Not a photo without it in the background. I know, a small sample size but I bet it's harder to find Images since it was finished without it in frame, than with it still. Sidenote: in the aftermath, the music also suffered. Definitely prefer the older music. Rather bump the songs from the 30's and 40's than MOST of the music of today haha. Great video showing the evolution of the City that never sleeps. Well done!
12:18 is such an incredible photo. One of the very last photos of the Twin Towers. NYC had no idea what was about happen the following morning. Never Forget.
@@Williamafton-1987-c5p I think he meant that there's an even more modern photo the same day of September 11th 2001, well, man, at 8:16 AM people were thinking they were living a normal day like all days of 2001,little did they know half an hour later, everything will change forever, a new chapter of history started half an hour later.
Super zusammen gestellte Bilder wie sich New York entwickelt hat. Eindrucksvoll und interessant wirken diese Bilder auf mich und die ausgewählte Musik ist passend dazu. Hervorragende Arbeit 😍😍
One of the main reasons they didn't rebuild is because it would have been considered insensitive, and the biggest problem with rebuilding was HOW to rebuild. There were many designs that pictured the Twin Towers being rebuilt as a memorial, then we had the One WTC designs with the one that was ultimately built being the result of many comprimises. Also, nowadays we have the 9/11 memorial pool, so there is no way they are ever doing that. I know you said "in another location in NY", but i don't think there is much space left to build two towers in...and also i would personally find it awkward to rebuild in another location, because they had the chance of rebuilding the towers from their original positions/site, but they went for the memorial instead, and i think it may have been because victims' families especially would have found it pretty weird and disturbing to see the two buildings that killed their loved ones again back were they used to be.
@@blackr3v193 I mean I honestly supported, rebuilding them again but no business will be inside them ever again, instead they're towers of memorial and museums and education but that's too late now lol.
The skyline never looked quite as good after the towers fell. One friend of mine from the Bronx said that after 9/11, New York was "cut in half". They were just such imposing structures that after they came down there wasn't another building you could use for reference anywhere you were in the city simply by which side of it you could see.
@PanMaster tallest buildings in the city, sure, but they were only the tallest for 2 years after opening in the 70s. And as imposing as they were, they weren't the only thing on the skyline from the late 60s to 2001 as this video implies. I love how the 2002-2009 segment of this video is like "oh yeah midtown and uptown also existed." Though 2010s we get a hyperfocus for the new WTC...

Same thing happened to me except that I was in the south tower. I just didn't know what to do when the plane hit the south tower. I'm surprised I'm alive
I like seeing the shots with the ESB. It’s just stood the test of time, watching over the city for the past 92 years… from its glory as the tallest building, to the twin towers, to One WTC, and finally to the tall skinny apartment buildings. That building is a legend. 🙌
@SichoTech a american bomber was flying to Newark Airport in 1945 but miscalculated and it was really foggy and by the time they saw the empire state building it was to late
I’ve been on holiday/vacation to New York 3 times. All 3 times I’ve loved every second of it! Such a fabulous city always has been always will be! ❤ Respect from Britain! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
@Il_Pikachu_Taroccoда там тоже здорово и красиво, и там много всего исторического и интересного в России🇷🇺, там много достопримечательностей во всех русских городов. И даже медведи.
My cousin went to New York once and he took pictures of The World Train Center, The 9/11 Memorial, Empire State Building, and The Statue of Liberty. They were really pretty photos of New York.
Well, there's still a problem, the towers don't seem to have the safety standards of today, fire proofing of the tower was awful, and they sway too much, so I think if 9/11 was stopped maybe these towers might need to be remastered to be more safe, same shape etc, just steady and better fire-proof quality.
This such a moving and wonderful video so warm for our heart ❤ I really admire the view of the New York city from the beginning of 1900 despite the fact that i was born in 2004. You also mentioned the tragedy in 2001 that we will never forget this. How much grief people went through at the moment! May God protect them in heaven! ❤🙏
@@concordebro2003this video feels like it just wants to show the evolution of the wtc but since that video already exists they just put an evolution of nyc
Exactly, NYC without the wtc is not the same thing (even though they built the owtc). The twin towers were a lot more intimadating, not only because it was two towers, but also because the New one is made out of glass. The original towers were simply Majestic, being much the shine of nyc at the time.
When I was watching the video throughout. I was thinking to myself. "Huh, the Twin Towers are shown quite a lot in this video." Then when the 2000s pictures were shown of *that day* I quite literally went "Oh... Dear lord" Like I don't mean it in a bad way. It's just seeing the towers build up and get knocked down has that emotional impact on me. But yeah, good video tho.
I was born exactly 8 years and 1 month after 9/11 and the photo from the 10th September 2001 got me shaking! I went to new York this April and went to the 9/11 memorial and it really looks massive on the photos but when you get there they are actually gigantic! My parents went up the towers 1 week before 9/11 and I have there tickets in my memorial! Rest in piece 9/11 victims! Great video! Thanks!
After tomorrow, the terrible gold is rising!! Do not sell gold unless there is a very urgent need!!!!! Constantly try to buy physical gold or ounces of gold!!!! Gold will be very valuable!!!!! Let everyone know too!!!!! America is angry in winter!!!! Russia, the Ukrainian war is drifting into the third world war!!!!! Hurry up, he said from me!!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
De niño siempre me pregunté porque no las volvian a construir, luego con el tiempo entendí que hacerlo seria una falta de respeto a las victimas y su imagen estaría manchada por el terrorismo... Aún así, hay una parte de mi a la que le gustaria volver a ver semejante maravilla de la ingeniería.
En el lugar se construyó un monumento en honor a todas las víctimas de ese día. Hay dos monumentos, uno en el espacio de cada torre y en frente se construyó el One World Trade Center que es incluso más alto de lo que fueron las torres gemelas.
So weird how I was born 5 years (2006) after 9/11 and my birthday is the 12th of september. I really felt the 2000s one because growing up in the late 2000s and 2010s in NYC gave me a feeling of when life was better than now, cell phones weren't that advanced, social media was at its peak and wasn't sending negative affects on people espeically youth and music back then was always positive. I don't just miss those days, I miss being happy and for that, I am glad that I grew up in NYC and hopefully it gets better soon.

Video Title is wrong, World Trade Center is only a part of New York, the Video focus mostly to World Trade Center, but their so other buildings in New York
We’ve been through it all, the construction of the gorgeous twin towers, the collapse of the twin towers, the construction of the one World Trade Center! The fact that the 1930’s were focused on the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings, the 1970’s-2000’s were so focused on the twin towers, the the 2010’s onward were so focused on the one World Trade Center, it’s crazy how time flies by
my favorite eras are 1910s, 1950s and 1980s 1910s for being the most Victorian New York possible 1950s for having a balance between modern and Old 1980s for being modern classic New York

I make no apologies - I like the New York City of the 19th century through the 1940's. The older styles of architecture were more "human" and graceful than the "space opera" glass, concrete and steel towers all the world's cities have today. I also like the older popular music much better than the popular music I've heard on radios and store loudspeakers since the 1980s. I'd feel more at home if I could travel back in time.
É nessas horas que vc vê a diferença de nova york com as torres gêmeas da nova york sem as torres gêmeas, com as torres era uma cidade que plmds , magnífica, sem as torres continua sendo linda só que sem suas duas estrelas pq miraram logo no símbolo comercial dos Estados Unidos , injusto o que fizeram c os americanos e com as 3 mil vidas
I always had the dream of going to live in the USA legally since I am Hispanic and it surprises me and I love how New York is, I am very sorry for that September 11 :(
Just to see the towers growing over the years and their 30~ year pride is truly wonderful. I love these towers and my dream was to see them one day. Unfortunately I was born in 2008, 7 years after the tragedy and like this creator the second I realize that my dream will never come true is truly heartbreaking 💔. Sometimes I wish they could comeback just for 1 minute for me to see them live but I know that is far from reality. That day is a day that nobody will forget. A day where everyone was shocked. A day where everyone dropped a little tear. September 11, 2001 was truly the most heartbreaking and tragic 102 minutes of humanity. May the Twin Towers and the people that died that day rest in peace. Today I dropped a tear like everyone did that day 😢😔. A message from a Portuguese lover of the Twin Towers. Thank you for this video Explorex and for the memories ❤️
The Twin Towers were not even funny, outdated and ugly architecture. I have been to New York three times, the first in 2008 when the Freedom Tower was not yet in place, the second in 2014 when the Freedom Tower was at the end of its construction, and the third in 2015 when the Freedom Tower was ready. In my point of view the Freedom Tower is much prettier! it is a building covered by glass and formed by eight triangles, simply amazing! In 2004 Donald Trump proposed building the Twin Towers II, but fortunately they were not built, giving way to the Freedom Tower.
Desde 1900 hasta hoy 2023, la ciudad de mis sueños a evolucionado a través de problemas y desastres pero Nueva York sigue siendo impresionante y muy sorprendente.
After all those pictures with the Twins in the background, it's so odd to see the NYC skyline without those two gigantic pillars piercing it. In the years following 9/11, the skyline lacked much character. Until One WTC was built.
to all those brave workers, first responders and firemen, who helped save 1000’s of lives. RESPECT.
My dad helped clean up the mess in 2011
He has photos as proof
Yeah, really famous I survived book RIP twin towers😢😢😢😢

We took 14th Street to the west side and as soon as we got there it looked like a sci-fi movie. Flood lights everywhere everyone in full hazmat. My truck had to get sprayed going in and out. I talked my way into the rooftop of a building across the street and we looked down at the horror. I cried like a baby. Not something I'm prone to. Anyway I'm glad I got to live in the time of their construction and beauty. Brooklyn heights was another great place to get some good shots. The contrast between the gothic structure of the Brooklyn bridge and the modern almost sterile architecture of the twin towers made for some nice pics. I remember some famous architect referring to them as two Giant cheese boxes , but I loved them . BTW at 7:38 I took the exact same picture what looks like had to be the exact time of day. ♥️ I will not watch this to the end because well, you know. In closing I cannot thank you enough. ♥️
These buildings fit perfectly and adorned lower manhattan. These buildings were the property and pride of the United States!!! Undoubtedly the greatest creations of architecture. I admire them. I even made an exact mock-up of them at home, which I admire every day. I am very sorry about what happened this is a real pain for the entire people of the United States and for the whole world. TERRORISM MUST BE PUNISHED!!! I sincerely sympathize with those families who lost their loved ones that day🙏🙏🙏 God bless them🙏🙏🙏 I am very sorry that I did not find these great Twin Towers. I have a dream to visit New York and visit these towers. But unfortunately the second will never come true😭 I am very sorry that people died because of the terrarists and that those whoGreetings dear man! You are the person I would like to talk to. I want to tell a little story, to be more precise, what inspired me to make this video. I myself am Russian, I live in Russia, I was born in the early 2000s, but, unfortunately, after the tragedy. Alas, I didn’t catch the twin towers (The story began when on September 11, 2021, those terrible shots were shown on television in Russia. It was 20 years of the tragedy. They showed that broadcast in full from and to and how they collapsed, I looked at all this and I rolled out tears it was so terrible😱😭 I decided to put a video on RUclips on this topic.I did 20 years of the tragedy of the World Trade Center Towers.And when I was making a video for the tragedy of the twin towers, I began to look at photos on the Internet. Previously, I treated these towers as 2 identical boxes. But when I became seriously interested in this topic, when I studied the drawings and layout of these buildings, when I looked at all the photos of all time, I realized that these are not just 2 boxes. There was something in them, despite the simple shape of 2 parallelepipeds, there was something beautiful, powerful, graceful, majestic, powerful, strong rushing upwards in them. I got into these two buildings. I didn’t just like them, I fell in love with them, I became in some way their background. It was truly a symbol of the United States, it is the pride of the country, the great buildings are beautiful and the grandeur of which you can admire forever!!!like I was born on 9/11 there will never be a chance to visit these beautiful properties!!! I wish the skyline of New York was restored again and the twin towers would shine again in the rays of the sun!!! It would be like a phoenix being reborn from the ashes. I have great respect for all those who suffered that day and God grant them the kingdom of heaven to innocent people 🙏🙏🙏
Heartwarming comment! ❤
@@explorex8918 Reading your comment it's easy to see how you were able to put together something so beautiful and touching. You have a beautiful vast Heart. I about 35 years ago I had seen a photograph of the twin towers centered right behind the Tower of the Brooklyn bridge. I decided I wanted to take that picture. I looked on a map and was able to calculate within a few feet where I had to stand. It was a very dilapidated Pier that went about 50 ft out into the Hudson. They were holes the size of truck tires that went straight down into the water. I carefully made my way out to the exact spot I needed to be in but unfortunately it was an overcast day. And you couldn't even see the city behind the bridge. The picture looked like it was taken in the early 1900s. I'll tell you what though, on a clear day the view from the observation deck was breathless.
I have a quick story for you, my sister worked on the 86th floor I believe the name of her company was Marsh McMillan. She used to commute to the city from Westchester by train. Every morning she would pick up a cup of coffee at this little coffee shop right outside the train station. That morning the man who always makes her coffee gave her the wrong one. She went to return it and missed her Express train which would have put her at her desk when the planes hit. Her company had the second-highest amount of casualties . She's hardly ever late anywhere but THAT morning she was. And she is still with us. Crazy , right ?
I can't thank you enough for what must have been many many hours of painstaking work to put that video together. You and your work will hold a place in my heart.

Did you know? The World Trade Center (1970s - 2000s) was supposed to be finished in the ‘50s or ‘60s but because we didn’t have technology for that height yet the project was postponed until the late ‘60s and ‘70s.
oh
Wow
At first, I thought it had posponed because of some scandals that were occuring in NYC in 1950s.
Wow I did not know that
You are right, but not entirely. Yes, the idea of a world trade center appeared back in the 50s. This idea was connected with the fact that it would revive business in the lower part of Manhattan, which was empty, unlike the area where the Empire State Building stood. At 50s, it was already clear where the future WTC complex would be located. But the idea of building exactly the tallest towers in the world and that these would be twin towers arose much later (initially the project was not going to be so large-scale and ambitious - in the 50s it was meant to be much more modest than what turned out in the end). In 65-66s, the idea of the tallest skyscrapers, the Twin Towers, was born, and the construction of the twin towers itself began in 68s. If the Port Authority of New York had not encountered the difficulties of implementing the WTC project back then in the 50s, then none of the twin towers would have been built. Because the idea of the tallest twin towers would not have had time to mature.

Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
@Zo8 Hello. 😊
são paulo is very similar to scenes 5:31 - 5:34 and 6:20 but with more pollution and smoke
@@stairwayazure8087 the reality is that every city in every country in the world always has a part that seems the most neglected, and always has the most beautiful and cared for part. New York is the same, but it is also a city that pollutes a lot and is much bigger than São Paulo. I don't live in São Paulo I live in the interior of the *State of São Paulo* and around here the air quality (oxygen) is great.
If you do a search: *What are the more polluting countries in the world* you will be surprised.
You never realize how integral or important something is until it's gone. You could tell just by how the photos from the early 19's through the 50's everything was taken from the ground level looking out and up and it was more or less showing time square and the surrounding areas, homes and whatnot (though I'm not a New Yorker, so take my understanding and processing of the areas with a grain of salt). When the 60's rolled around everything started to get taller and so were the photos, or much more of a landscape, panoramic type of photos. Once the Twin Towers were complete, there wasn't a single photo that didn't contain them, no matter where in the city or the surrounding areas. They defined the New York skyline for decades! A symbol if you will. Not only the skyline but everything about NY City itself when it comes to photography. It seems that nothing was right after that tragic day. Though admittedly seeing and remembering the Empire State lit up like it was after was so hauntingly beautiful.
I was fortunate enough to go to NY in '99 and to walk right next to and stare up at these monstrous buildings. So tall it seemed like you had to turn around and look up to see the top as if it were looming over you. Only being 9 at the time I couldn't truly grasp the simple and sleek yet beautiful architecture of these towers. My mom has photos (Somewhere) of the one and only time our family was there, taking photos from Liberty Island looking back over the Skyline and just thinking WOW! Would love to find those pictures one day.
I remember everything about that day, the day that everything changed. I was in a doctors office having a check up to a broken ankle that I had suffered the previous school year. Spent the entire summer in a cast, not getting to enjoy the freedom of summer that every kid loves and looks forward to. On that day, at only 11, I learned that regardless of my pain and suffering, and the freedoms I was so upset about losing that summer... paled in comparison to what others lost, freedoms that were stolen from entire lifetimes of people, and their families. The pain of losing that much by any means (much less from a terroristic attack) was too great for me to, from that point forward, try to receive sympathy from anybody. That day changed many people, myself included. Some people choose to look on the bright side of life knowing that whatever you're going through- there's people out there that have dealt with the same and MUCH worse, and they've made it through. They persevered. Others were changed in negative ways and not just those who were involved first hand. And to the ones who felt compelled or obligated to pick up arms and go to war. The families who had to bury loved ones from it. To say that only 2977 (2996 including the hijackers) were lost on this day is inaccurate. So much more has happened in the domino effect of this that it's impossible to give an accurate number of fatalities. But being honest, I feel like everyone who was old enough to comprehend the gravity of the attacks, were lost that day. I know personally a part of me was lost. I can't even begin to imagine how the older crowd felt as an 11 year old.
It's wild to me that I now work with people who weren't even born until years after. The term Never Forget can't apply to them. They know of the event, through history books, but the books only describe so much. That gut wrenching feeling is something I'll never forget and something that a book can't tell you about. Not looking down on the younger generation here. Just pointing out that the noticeable differences could boil down to this one, tragic event. Considering there's only a 12 year span (not really that long). You can tell the difference. So for anyone to downplay the significance of this or to make jokes is beyond asinine.
Thanks for uploading this video. It was nice to see the ending with ONE WTC being built and finished and it seemed like it was back to the "NORM" as far as iconic goes. The new tower is majestic and is starting to define the new skyline. It won't ever be the same, but it is almost as if to say- We're back! Not a photo without it in the background. I know, a small sample size but I bet it's harder to find Images since it was finished without it in frame, than with it still. Sidenote: in the aftermath, the music also suffered. Definitely prefer the older music. Rather bump the songs from the 30's and 40's than MOST of the music of today haha. Great video showing the evolution of the City that never sleeps. Well done!

12:33 Ok buddy, this type of music in a terrorist scene is crazy.
Twin Towers were something else, their design was so simple but beatiful.
I think they should rebuilt them in another location of New York.
the skyline is just so different without them, it was like new york was made for them
Yeah like underground.
One of the main reasons they didn't rebuild is because it would have been considered insensitive, and the biggest problem with rebuilding was HOW to rebuild. There were many designs that pictured the Twin Towers being rebuilt as a memorial, then we had the One WTC designs with the one that was ultimately built being the result of many comprimises. Also, nowadays we have the 9/11 memorial pool, so there is no way they are ever doing that. I know you said "in another location in NY", but i don't think there is much space left to build two towers in...and also i would personally find it awkward to rebuild in another location, because they had the chance of rebuilding the towers from their original positions/site, but they went for the memorial instead, and i think it may have been because victims' families especially would have found it pretty weird and disturbing to see the two buildings that killed their loved ones again back were they used to be.
They should rebuild them but make them stronger and don’t let planes near them.
@@blackr3v193 I mean I honestly supported, rebuilding them again but no business will be inside them ever again, instead they're towers of memorial and museums and education but that's too late now lol.
It just looks way too empty without the towers. They were truly icons of the city. You can tell something is missing in the years after.

@@Laurasophiesmithnow it's the freedom tower
The diffrence between 1900 and 1910 is phenomenal
The skyline never looked quite as good after the towers fell. One friend of mine from the Bronx said that after 9/11, New York was "cut in half". They were just such imposing structures that after they came down there wasn't another building you could use for reference anywhere you were in the city simply by which side of it you could see.
Well, I'd say that they had a charm on the city, but ngl the current buildings are neat too in one way or another.

@PanMaster tallest buildings in the city, sure, but they were only the tallest for 2 years after opening in the 70s. And as imposing as they were, they weren't the only thing on the skyline from the late 60s to 2001 as this video implies.

Well, there's still a problem, the towers don't seem to have the safety standards of today, fire proofing of the tower was awful, and they sway too much, so I think if 9/11 was stopped maybe these towers might need to be remastered to be more safe, same shape etc, just steady and better fire-proof quality.

Exactly, NYC without the wtc is not the same thing (even though they built the owtc). The twin towers were a lot more intimadating, not only because it was two towers, but also because the New one is made out of glass.
The original towers were simply Majestic, being much the shine of nyc at the time.

En el lugar se construyó un monumento en honor a todas las víctimas de ese día. Hay dos monumentos, uno en el espacio de cada torre y en frente se construyó el One World Trade Center que es incluso más alto de lo que fueron las torres gemelas.

I really felt the 2000s one because growing up in the late 2000s and 2010s in NYC gave me a feeling of when life was better than now, cell phones weren't that advanced, social media was at its peak and wasn't sending negative affects on people espeically youth and music back then was always positive.

Oh, I’m sorry~
It is common in Japanese to omit the subject, and my sentence also omitted the subject, so I think the misunderstanding was caused by a translation error.
The correct answer would be "(New York) is one of the cities I want to visit at least once in my life."
We apologize for any misunderstanding caused by the language difference. Have a nice day:)
Used Google translate
The 70s is where things started to look modern
Ammiro l'amore che avete per la vostra città e di come siete stati in grado di rialzarvi dopo tutto quello che è successo... Questo video trasmette proprio quello spirito di amore per la vostra amata New York. Spero di visitarla un giorno.

its crazy to see how Empty the new york skyline looked like once the towers were no longer standing.
That's true 😢

Love the towers, was heartbroken when they fell but 1960-2000 was the evolution of the towers and what’s around them and nothing else
The 60s sequence, with the music, was absolutely haunting.
‘90s was the peak! ❤
let’s just forget 1993 🙂
2:10 In here you can see the S.S Normandie in the background, a French Super lIner made by the Tranatlantiqué shipping line I believe
i can imagine my grandpa going to new york city in the 60’s it must’ve been cool

2:17 what's the name of this music ?
Video Title is wrong, World Trade Center is only a part of New York, the Video focus mostly to World Trade Center, but their so other buildings in New York
the start of the video was technically correct, but the WTC was a huge step in NYC history
My music teacher taught us to play boomwhackers and the song he put for 1950s was the blues song she wanted us to play lol
Rip Twin Towers 1973-2001
очень круто, желаю удачи!!!
Очень интересно смотреть как развивался и изменялся Нью-Йорк. Красивый своеобразный интересный город. Привет из Санкт-Петербурга Россия
Ojala mi país hubiera mejorado así de 1900 a la actualidad.
We’ve been through it all, the construction of the gorgeous twin towers, the collapse of the twin towers, the construction of the one World Trade Center! The fact that the 1930’s were focused on the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings, the 1970’s-2000’s were so focused on the twin towers, the the 2010’s onward were so focused on the one World Trade Center, it’s crazy how time flies by
Seeing lower Manhattan with nothing jutting out the top is so strange to me, and
I don't even live in nyc.
Same
my favorite eras are 1910s, 1950s and 1980s
1910s for being the most Victorian New York possible
1950s for having a balance between modern and Old
1980s for being modern classic New York
Yes. Then it lost its grit in the 90’s after julliani cleaned it up. I liked the gritty feel of the 70’s and 80’s
Wonderful music playlist as well. Thank you for keeping the memories alive 😊

@@MannyHeffley077 'OH GOD OH' *backround screaming
I make no apologies - I like the New York City of the 19th century through the 1940's. The older styles of architecture were more "human" and graceful than the "space opera" glass, concrete and steel towers all the world's cities have today. I also like the older popular music much better than the popular music I've heard on radios and store loudspeakers since the 1980s. I'd feel more at home if I could travel back in time.
This exactly how i feel
My guy you're the man, I feel the same.
Then go away back to that time

É nessas horas que vc vê a diferença de nova york com as torres gêmeas da nova york sem as torres gêmeas, com as torres era uma cidade que plmds , magnífica, sem as torres continua sendo linda só que sem suas duas estrelas pq miraram logo no símbolo comercial dos Estados Unidos , injusto o que fizeram c os americanos e com as 3 mil vidas
3:41-12:53 are the most emotional.
Yo whats the name of the song😢
I always had the dream of going to live in the USA legally since I am Hispanic and it surprises me and I love how New York is, I am very sorry for that September 11 :(
in 2002 u can just tell something was missing :(
Yeah there was a hole there, something felt odd for anyone who didn't know.

Very good work on this video, congrats!
Just to see the towers growing over the years and their 30~ year pride is truly wonderful. I love these towers and my dream was to see them one day. Unfortunately I was born in 2008, 7 years after the tragedy and like this creator the second I realize that my dream will never come true is truly heartbreaking 💔. Sometimes I wish they could comeback just for 1 minute for me to see them live but I know that is far from reality. That day is a day that nobody will forget. A day where everyone was shocked. A day where everyone dropped a little tear. September 11, 2001 was truly the most heartbreaking and tragic 102 minutes of humanity. May the Twin Towers and the people that died that day rest in peace. Today I dropped a tear like everyone did that day 😢😔. A message from a Portuguese lover of the Twin Towers. Thank you for this video Explorex and for the memories ❤️
The Twin Towers were not even funny, outdated and ugly architecture. I have been to New York three times, the first in 2008 when the Freedom Tower was not yet in place, the second in 2014 when the Freedom Tower was at the end of its construction, and the third in 2015 when the Freedom Tower was ready. In my point of view the Freedom Tower is much prettier! it is a building covered by glass and formed by eight triangles, simply amazing! In 2004 Donald Trump proposed building the Twin Towers II, but fortunately they were not built, giving way to the Freedom Tower.
@@TeladaNovela2761 For me the new WTC doesnt fit in the architecture of NYC.
@@TeladaNovela2761thats your opinion
The Freedom tower is cool but the Twin Towers were also pretty cool while they were standing
And because I hate the extremist ideologies. Especially Taliban :-@
@@TeladaNovela2761 you obviously have no respect also what the hell did you think they would use to start building in the 60's?
Desde 1900 hasta hoy 2023, la ciudad de mis sueños a evolucionado a través de problemas y desastres pero Nueva York sigue siendo impresionante y muy sorprendente.
This is sooo wonderful😍
Thanks sooo much🙏💝
This video is more about the twins tower than the New York city 😂
true
After all those pictures with the Twins in the background, it's so odd to see the NYC skyline without those two gigantic pillars piercing it. In the years following 9/11, the skyline lacked much character. Until One WTC was built.
Great video but I noticed once we got into the 70s it just focused on WTC. I was hoping to see the rest of NYC.
Hard to believe NYC used to look beautiful 120 years ago
I feel sad for the deaths in 9/11
