HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- This is a rare, never before seen tour of the World Trade Center, before September 11, 2001. This tour took place in November, 1987. In this scene, you see the inside of the North and South towers.
You then travel in the elevator to the 107 floor Observation Deck. Watch how quickly the elevator ascends.
After you are on the 107 floor, you will see all of New York City, as well as New Jersey (to the west) and Brookyn/Queens (to the east).
#WorldTradeCenter #WTC #TwinTowers
This is the old original elevator of the World Trade Center, with all the numbers of the different floors, which lit up when the elevator was in a certain floor, this elevator was replaced in 1990, by a new one with only a small indicator which indicated in red the number of the floor with an arrow (high for the ascent, low for the descent). The Twins Towers have had two models of elevators during their history, the first from 1972/73 to 1990, and the last from 1990 to 2001.
Damn I didn’t even know that
i just notice that. I seen other videos that show the elevator and they are very different.
The old ones look like Otis ones based on the buttons being 1960s Otis buttons.
5:06 little fact, the interference you hear and see on the camera is caused by the antenna array on the North Tower's rooftop.
Its scary
Wow! That’s interesting. Considering all the station antennas that would been broadcasting from there it’s no wonder. Did it also cause the visual tape glitch?
Atmospheric Electricity Mast
WPIX would broadcast of that Atenna at one time right ??
That's correct. There was plenty of radiation up there. I suppose that it was safe in small dosed, since we were not on the roof very long.
Many of us NYers took those two giants for granted. So many missed opportunities to visit and enjoy the spectacular views. Thanks for the upload.
You're most welcome.
Absolutely. I visited them a couple times as a kid. Once I grew of legal age, I didn't care much for them. I so regret that.
Completely agree! I am extremely scared of heights. I refused to go in those buildings until after the 93 bombing. Then, I forced myself because I knew the terrorists would keep trying to take them down. I'm so glad I have those memories now.
I visited the towers in august 2000. My aunt lives in Union City, NJ. Iwas 8 years old at the time. I just remember seeing the towers from the plane thinking they weren't as big as I thought they would be. But when we arrived at Tobin Plaza the next day, and I looked up, I started to feel dizzy. The buildings were absolutely huge! We didn't go up, instead we went down to the WTC mall to go shopping. It was the biggest mall in Manhatten at the time.
My dad visit the twin towers in 1999 and he was in the hotel watching TV shows and movies in December 1999
I am upset that I didn't get to visit these two majestic buildings. It's gonna be 9/11 anniversary soon and I only started to think about them more. Thank you for this wonderful footage.
I wrestled with it for 15 years before I decided to post these videos, mostly out of respect to the deceased and their families. But then I decided that people needed to see these towers in their glory. And no, I don't get paid by RUclips. I would never do that. Some things are more important than money. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the footage. I wish I had taken more.
@@ToddMcDurmont thank you so much, I am so happy to have the oportunity to watch this😊
@@ToddMcDurmont That is nice of you when you mentioned you didn't want to post at first out of respect for the deceased but, I agree with you people needed to see these towers in their glory. It is too bad you didn't get to take more but, at least you got what you could.
@@ToddMcDurmont this was your own footage? If so, great camera work. I’ve done that same type of “talk” at the CN Tower in Toronto as I’m local to it (and was nervous on 9/11 with redirected planes landing here). On a good clear day you can see Niagara Falls and Rochester from it. I loved hearing some of the different accents in the background of this footage too.
This video wasn't just pre-9/11; it was pre-02/26/1993 (the first bombing of the World Trade Center). Thank you for posting these videos of the Twin Towers. I enjoy seeing what they were like inside (since I, regrettably, never got to visit the towers myself). These videos also serve as a poignant reminder of what was lost (the people and the buildings) in 2001.
It’s frightening to think that those views from high up, where what the people saw that had to jump from the building on 911
That antenna had a really strong microwave! World Trade Centre 107th floor Observation Deck had a perfect view.
Loved that the windows labeled the view you were looking at. So clever and cool!
The new One world trade center don't have that. It's so bored, I miss the twin towers. Never forget 🇺🇲❤️
Y las Torres se sentía más la emoción.
Las columnas podías verlas saliendo desde fuera, y si volteaba para abajo veías como se volvía eso en una línea minúscula.
Además, podías ver a la otra Torres y presenciar como era en la que estabas sin tener que verla directamente, más el hecho de los edificios de la plaza que a esa altura se veían como juguetes, y las personas caminando
the outline of Brooklyn and the East River on 2:22 is TRUE GENIUS
VERY cool how they did that. They should do that outline thing on more high rise buildings with a view :)
This is how it was when I was a teenager. I went there when I was about 15 in 1988, and this is EXACTLY what I remember.
honestly, this just seems like a really fun field trip you and your class would go to, to learn more about the city of new york
I was born on August 28th, 2002. If I could've been alive to see them, I would've gone. But this is the best I get, so thanks so much for posting this so I could see them, even after they've been gone for 15 years.
Went in early November 1997 with my parents. 17 years old at the time and typical teenager didn’t want any photos taken. Now I regret it big time. Remember strolling around the top of the South Tower thinking how close the North Tower looked. Funnily enough amongst the plaques in the lower enclosed observatory stating the various facts and figures about the buildings and the city was a board detailing how the aircraft could withstand the impact of a Boeing 707. Slightly smaller than the 767s that ultimately destroyed them.
but the towers didn't and wouldn't collapse because of a single plane. after they were hit, they were still standing. they collapsed because of enormous heat generated by thousand of gallons of jet fuel.
Yeah, but which jet flies without fuel? So, it's an irrelevant point.
@@szymonpsx the jet fuel would have to ignite to generate heat
Thanks for these videos people that never been to the WTC can see how magnificent and massive they were.
I'm nostalgic for an era I wasn't even alive to experience.
Lot of people have that. Mine is the 60s, which is a decade before I was around. The 80s were great as a kid though.
@@Bryan-od7nv I wish I was around for the 70s-90s, particularly the 80s and 90s. That was the golden age man.
@@gabetalks9275 80s were a blast the 90s a blur. I would of been 14 entering the 90s so some middle school, high school, and college crammed into one decade.
Same here I was born in 94 I'm like ah the 80s as if I was there
I've only seen the towers from the air, or from driving over the Tapanzee Bridge, on a clear day of course. Breaks my heart that they're gone, and more so of the lives lost. RIP. Be kind to one another....
1987: WTC 7 just opened, hence the completion of the World Trade Center complex. Before the 1993 bombing. This is perfection.
Lo triste es que Yamasaki fallecio un año antes, así que nunca pudo ver a su obra maestra terminada, falleció con WTC7 sin parte de la fachada de arriba
I like the aligning of the city map on the glass and the descriptions of the areas throughout the city.
The interference from the antenna is something else eh?
Some very iconic architecture, always wanted to visit, thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting these! This was filmed the year before I was born, so it's amazing to see what the towers looked like then.
Best footage I’ve seen from inside, thanks so much for sharing x
People talked more normal and intelligently in the older days
being decent was the "being cool"
Everybody was doing anal, more relaxed, but then Mandela started aids.
@Decade Updates I wouldn't worry about it too much. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and every generation engages in this kind of "good old days/paradise lost" revisionist stuff. And every generation is pretty much wrong.
@Decade Updates No worries. We all need that reminder at some point.
@Decade Updates sad! Bigly sad! - a stable jenius that definitely didn't ruin our brains with his proto language
Ok so at 5:06 about 5 feet down from the rainbow distortion is where orio Palmer made it to in full turnout gear like a badass. Can you imagine being the people trapped that saw him and the euphoria of knowing that if he can get up here then there is a way for me to get out. Probably the best feeling seeing those fireman that made it up that far...wow...his real name was "Orio Savage Palmer"
@Alex Dekarske -- The rainbow image at 5:06 and just below is very near the top of WTC 1 (it had the communications antenna--the person shooting the video misspoke by saying it was WTC 2). I don't know what you mean by "feet" in your measurement, but if you mean stories/floors, then that would've been approximately a floor in the high 90s or low 100s. Battalion Chief Orio Palmer was last seen and heard from in the South Tower, or WTC 2. He had sent a message out that he'd reached floor 78 which was where the United plane had hit. It was truly amazing that any of the firemen reached the high floors that they did considering they each carried 75 to 100 pounds of gear with them. This whole memory of that day makes me sad at the extreme loss of life and destruction and angry at the perpetrators.
@@marka1422 ruclips.net/video/MJgoDYeP0Jk/видео.html Listen for "Orio"
Little fact: The location the camera is looking at 2:30, near the South Street Seaport was one of the proposed locations to build the WTC in 1960/61, but the Port Authority (as a bi-state agency) rejected this proposal in order to bring the WTC closer to New Jersey
Jersey City being right across the water...My question is why ?? XD My guess is so they could see it ??
Gran decisión, ¿no les parece?
Thank you for sharing! It’s amazing what you and other people can do to save old videos of former locations and share them to the whole world on RUclips, to share what it was like going there.
I was ten back then now all these years later im watching this in November 2017 (as the video is nov 1987) and missing a time and place i never experienced, thank you for uploading so i can at least get a glimpse of what I could have experienced.
This video shows before the original Otis elevators before ACE Elevator modernized them with digital indicators. These elevators were likely controlled with a motor-generator set. Older traction elevators controlled with a motor generator have a finite number of leveling speeds (modern elevators use a VF drive which brings the elevator to a smooth stop). On a slow elevator, this is likely less noticeable, but on a high speed elevator like this one, those separate leveling speeds might be more noticeable. I wish the Twin Towers still existed today.
upanddownadventures on one hand how do you know so much about elevators lol, on the other tell me more very interesting.
Yep
I can feel my stomach dipping just reading that.
I'm glad these videos exist. I was 3 when 9/11 happened and have never been to New York city. I would have loved to visit these towers.....
I was 3 too when it happened I live in NY and wish I could see the towers
Amazing footage. Thanks for sharing! Important to have stuff like this.
The buzzing near the 5 minute mark is the massive amount of radiation emanating from the North Tower's antenna
Wow, that’s such a cool fact, thanks! 😊
1987. Wow, even before the bombing.
Thank you for posting this i hope more pre 9/11 video's show up on youtube.
Me and my family got to visit the world trade centre in summer 1995 with video footage and everything of course I was only 3 at the time so I couldn’t remember it, but the fact that we recorded it made it that much more special
I remember just visiting them just weeks before 9/11... First time in NYC first time at the World Trade Center complex. I was only 8 but i held on to my memory of them to this day and I can still picture them clear as day. I remember thinking I cant wait to visit them again. But unfortunately that was the one and only time...
That had to have tremendous impact on you as an 8 year old. You were actually there and old enough to understand the gravity of the destruction when it happened.
9/11 is a shame to U.S.A... look at those 2 masterpieces, it will never be replaced, i would move to New York only because of them.
Yeah, i love simplicity of these architectural structures... beatiful
lmao that fucking place is UGLY
@@veksu9 lmao that place is UGLY.
@@keirengaming Minecraft roblox player... has no opinion.
@@AtheistMorax i just think there ugly jesus
5:45 "..The North Tower is on the left, outside the window" - Yes we know that, it would probably not fit inside the current tower : ))
this is history man
My grandfather working in the north tower in the floor 98 , He was 68 years old ...
Thank you for posting this footage. It really helps me imagine what they really looked like. I just wish they would build them back. Thanks again and I subscribed and liked videos
Thank you for taking these videos. I was 6 and watch these beautiful towers go down on tv. That's all I remember about them...but seeing this...is heartbreakingly wonderful. Thank you for this.
So sad that there not there anymore
It's a disgrace to not have them there in NY. They were a symbol of NY.
Thank you very much for sharing this with us. I never got a chance to visit them, but it's great to see them like this.
They were impressive and the views from the top are just amazing.
You are most welcome.
I was 11 years old when 9-11 happened and never got to go inside the towers myself. I wish would have been able to!
I was also 11 and will never forget what happened.
My friend Dustin was born 4 days later on the 23rd of November. Weird to me seeing as how we're both in our 30's. This was a month and two days after my second birthday. We grew up 30 miles from Shanksville, Pa where Flight 93 went down.
Edit - I've watched many videos from inside the WTC and I've noticed the higher people got in the tower you could hear the buzzing in the audio.
Antenna thats why
Todd, these tree videos are amazing. I've never been to NYC but hope one day to come and visit this beautiful city. It's the symbol of the entire world.
Lucky you! 😊
Wow, thanks for sharing this. When I was young I was dreaming of a vacation to New York and visiting the twin towers. But that dream is gone since 9/11. As a non-us citizen I always feel nostalgic when I see the twins in movies and videos.
+LellePrinter82 The video really doesn't do it justice. It was truly an amazing place. Most unfortunate that they were not rebuilt the same, only stronger and better.
amazing video :) thanks for letting those of us who never got a chance to visit a look inside. :)
+Jimmy Faust jr I never though that these videos would be significant, with respect to the interior of WTC but I'm glad I took the images. Glad you enjoyed it.
You can literally see the curvature of the earth from up there
Don't tell a flat-earther that. You would melt their mind. It seems none of them have ever flown on a commercial airline either,
as the curvature of the earth is rather apparent from 35,000 feet. Of course it is all CGI generated, even from the windows of the plane. WOW!
I am so glad you put this up! I am suprised alot of footage isnt put on here from inside the Trade Center before 9-11! If there is I havent found to many! I always wanted to see the Trade Center, but thats never going to happen, so this is the only way to see such huge beautiful American Landmarks!
+Jeanie coudriet Not sure, Jeanie. Perhaps someone has footage but has not uploaded yet. It would be great to see. Glad you enjoyed it.
The only footage we are likely to see from inside the twin towers are of the elevators and the lobbies.
You will see the lobbies. You will see tourists in the elevator and on the observation deck. Because there was nothing more inside the towers.
+SLORRIFJART321 So true. I had no idea that I would be recording something so historic. It was just a typical day in Manhattan. Back then, people didn't walk around with video cameras in hand. Believe it or not, it was considered intrusive and rude to New Yorkers. Now people use smart phones to record everything. It's funny how things have changed in 30 years. Also, carrying a video camera was very dangerous, considering muggings. I was taking a big chance, walking through NYC by myself. But to thwart that, I placed NBC logos on the camera. It was all jacked up with a shoulder harness and a large boom mic, so it looked uber professional. So because of the NBC logos, people felt more comfortable when you pointed the camera at them and it gave thieves pause for thought. I wanted to go down 42nd street, between 7th and 8th and even the subway but had I done that, I certainly would have been mugged.
i always thought the twin towers were just alot of office buildings
Mostly office buildings
Todos edificios de oficinas excepto WTC3( Hotel Marriott) y WTC6( Oficina de Aduanas y demás niveles de gobierno)
They are so amazing
I was 2, almost 3 when the towers came crashing down. I was too young to even remember that day, let alone the tragedy until years later. When I visited the site back in July of 2015, and saw where these towers used to stand. It seemed surreal to me seeing those foundations as water fountains. Thanks for the footage.
It's hard to imagine the towers as they were. The video is as close as it gets. The monolithic new freedom tower hold no magic for me. Perhaps if there was a second twin tower. That would work. Why they didn't do that, I have no idea. Now the entire World Trade area is a diluted facsimile of its former glory.
Todd McDurmont I was also too young to remember but I can definitely see that the freedom tower just isn't the same as the twin towers
We will never forget 🙏🙏🙏✝️🇺🇸
well they still stand strong in hearts
shadowXXe sure do
The videocamera gets quite some interference from the 1WTC transmitters around 5:00
Sure did. There was some much signal coming off those antennas, the camera was actually picking it up! Then imagine the low level radiation we were getting. Yikes!
You can really understand how when the north tower collapsed why so many phone calls weren’t able to go through after.
@@kristoferkoessel4354While the 1WTC had cellular service transmitters, the main use for the antenna was radio and television transmission as well as microwave links to TV studios and re-transmitters in Staten Island and NJ for example.
For cellular service, the tower was acutally to high and the antennas were directed downwards. Some were installed in the 110 floor MER.
Landlines were of course also knocked out when the towers collapsed. I think there was a switching system in WTC7 along with the ConEd power station that served lower Manhattan.
It would take 228 people stacked on top of each other of 6ft to make the height of the towers.
Thanks for sharing this, i was born in the spring of 1969 which means i was conceived in late July 1968 the north tower went skyward in August 1968 and i saw a documentary when i was 7 about these towers and was always a dream to visit them
04:10 I was terrified, I thought there was some sort of fire in the North Tower
Those are the Original Windows On The World night lamps that come on at dusk I believe. Very beautiful.
I visited the towers back in 1991
Wow after all these years amazing. I was only 10 yrs old. Never forget ll.
That lens flare was almost a tragic piece of irony to predict the fires that would take place in the future years
Thanks for putting this up :D
They were truly wonderful buildings.
+Searose You're most welcome. Many people have enjoyed them.
+Todd McDurmont May I ask why you were visiting that day? Were you a tourist or did you live in New York City? :)
Midtown skyline looks so much different now
beautiful. . you are lucky to have seen them..
the view reminds me of the view from 125 floor from The Burj Khalifa in Dubai. . though the view from 145 floor is the most impressive. .
thanks for sharing
Seems like you can almost grab those big boats & vehicles, and throw them around like they're toy micro machines from that view! (L.O.L.!)
Everytime I see videos of the from the top down to the streets below I think how bad thang where that people jumped out windows to escape the buildings!!What a horrible position they where in ! Rip to them poor soles
I was almost 3 when 9/11 occurred, which means I literally have almost no memories of that day. I don't think anyone in this clip would imagine that the towers would be gone in these terrorist attacks 14 years later. Wish I had a chance of visiting them.
Oscar Wang dude they were surreal how tall they stood you would of never of thought that they be gone consider yourself lucky of having no memories I'm sure you have seen documentaries but to live through that day was hell on Earth. The whole country just shut down but it was the only time in my life when I saw everybody come together no matter what race color or Creed you were it's ashame it took a tradjedy like that for it to happen
I like how everything is so outdated... I didn't even exist yet in 1987, would love to have been there, though.
Hehe! Outdated! That's funny. Looks normal to me but hey, I lived it. Great time in America. Yep...your perspective is a perspective of youth but I completely understand. Give yourself another 20 years and then look at videos from way way back in 2016! Then you'll see what I mean! One thing is sure, you would have loved NYC back in the mid-late 1980's. Way before terrorism and political correctness.
‘87! My birth year ❤️🥹
El año de WTC7
Felicidades, naciste cuando el complejo original ya estaba terminado
Same!
I was 9 yrs old & growing up in Massachusetts
1:28 OMG its Mr Wong from Norbit
Im here to see the lobby
Seems so much like a different time. 20th century
it's crazy to think if this elevator lasted through the impact
I've often wondered that. Actually that is a great question. I might research that. Thanks.
They were redone before 9/11, the new ones counted by each floor instead of by 10 floors.
Most of the elevators were either cut loose and fell or got stuck, there’s reports of people being incinerated in some of them too.
I was born April 7th of 1999. I'm 18 now. I don't remember 9/11 very well, as I was literally learning how to write and say the alphabet. I was only two and a half. My mom told me I panicked when she told me two airliners have been flown into the WTC in NYC. I really didn't know what that meant, but I knew people had died, so I panicked, being the little kid I was. But I really have no memory of that day. Now looking back on it I realize how terrible of a day it was, and I wish I could have gotten a chance to see these buildings.
It was quite something to watch. We were all paralyzed as adults. It was so surreal. I could well imagine how a young child would react. It was tough enough for the grown ups. It was so difficult to fully comprehend for us.
If you look closely, you can see Lands End in Cornwall. 😉
lmfao..
You will also get to see the original elevators.
Thank you so much💙
Better camera footage then than in 2001,strange that.
+Marc Law Thanks! The camera used was a new Panasonic AG 170 series. It was a low-end, professional-grade camera, introduced to the masses back in 1987. It was a better quality camera than standard consumer camcorders.
+Todd McDurmont how did it feel to be there and now it's gone?
+Chase Medley It was really amazing and awe inspiring. The best metaphor for American strength and ingenuity. The skyline will never be the same until there is a tower matching the new one. The powers and political players in NYC really blew it.
+Todd McDurmont what was your favorite part of the building that you visited?
+Chase Medley Definitely being on the roof of the south tower. It was awe-inspiring. However I was concerned about being zapped by television signals, as you can see from the broadcast signals being "ghosted" over the video. Scary when you think about it. That's radiation, no matter what level.
Did you record this video, if not, where did you get footage from?
Yes, I recorded it. I own the footage. Thanks.
👍
Todd McDurmont This is interesting but I must ask why you decided to film this?
I wanted viewers to experience what it was actually like at the World Trade Center, including the elevators and the speed of ascent. It was a new camera, so naturally a few shots were awkward but well intended.
Todd McDurmont Well it's very interesting! Especially now considering what happened.
Wow so amazing cant wait to visit them!
Mr Barbarian Unfortunately this is as close you're going to get to them.
lmao they are gone.
How are they gone???? I really want to go visit but you people keep saying they are gone???? How
Now that Trump is the POTUS, I hope he'll put his Twin Towers plan into action soon...
Absolutely. I really like Trump's idea. Far better than what's there now.
it's really unbelievable, there were two Chinese on the elevator, hard to know what they were thinking and I guess if they were 40 yrs old now they are 70 yrs old already, oh my lord!!!!!!!
I miss these towers! I wasn't born yet, but it was still tragic!! :(
I was 12 in 6th grade and my teacher yelled out "WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WHIT YOU!!'' as all the children in class were laughing and joking (doubt it was about the attack) as they sat in their desks. As soon as he yelled this there was dead silence. He apologized and said ''America has just been attacked''.
Children had no since of the gravity of the situation. That's understandable. Now we've had a generation of kids that don't know a country free of terror. It's really a sad loss of innocence.
That's amazing. Historical perspective is so different, with age. I remember the Twin Towers in the 80's as clear as a bell. I was in the south tower in '93 when the bomb went off in the north tower. And you weren't even born yet. I remember 9-11 clearly as well. Like it was yesterday. Time really flies. You'll learn that, if you haven't already.
I was 4 on 9/11 and believe me or dont but i can still remember watching it happen..i lived in a city called Arlington in Texas ( where the cowboys play now) and my mom and dad worked for a company called gulfstream who make gorgeous private jets and whatnot..well that morning my dad was off, mom was working, my two older sibilings where in school while me and my little brother where at home with my dad. I dont remember it starting, i dont remember hearing people talk on the tv i just remember two things. 1 i distinctly remember seeing fire and good god it scared me and even more so when the second tower was hit with a giant fireball..2nd thing is i remember too this day seeing the CNN logo at the bottom of the screen. Low and behold that was my 9/11 story (if any cares if not i dont give a shit we all sharing in this comment section) because shortly after what i witnessed on screen my dad luggage carried me too my room where my little brother was watching rugrats. Years later when i asked him about his 9/11 experience he told me he did that because he watched people jump and didnt want me too see it..he said he sat there and just bawled like a baby and continued too stand when they fell in utter disbelief and shock as if he watched it unfold in person. Another thing he mentioned on sept. 12 the following morning his routine would too go too the convenience store down the street too pick up a newspaper and cigarretes (if he needed them). Arlington is surrounded by major airports in Texas and i remember American Airlines jets in the sky 24/7 and depending on how close you where too the highway closest too Dallas International them big fuckers felt so close you could reach up and touch them. Anyway the next morning he said he stepped outside and was met by the most eerie silence he had ever experienced. Not a single plane was flying over us for what he said went on for a few days. If anyone reads this drop your experience on that tragic day i would love too read what you have too say. May the people who died that day rest easy and their families live their lives remembering their legacy upon their family name. Fuck all 2018 U.S hating fuckbags but god bless this great nation
9/11/2001 was my 18th birthday unfortunately.
i like my pic sideways I totally believe you. Seeing something like that you would never forget it.
You sure you're not a Wetard?
Wow great feeling to see that
The Millennieum Hilton's land was just getting ready
Thanks for uploading these videos!
You're most welcome.
Yes thanks lots.
Did the Twin Towers have a tourist elevator or something? Surely the business me & women didn't have to ride with the tourists? It's like every time I watch these videos, the elevator always goes to the top....never stops at any other floor. Anyone know?
Martin P there were multiple elevators, that particular elevator was specifically ment for tourists.
@@MHammonds18 Two express cars in the south tower, for observatory. Two express cars in North tower served Windows on The World /etc /restaurant. The place had a LOT of elevators
@@pony053 1WTC and 2 WTC combined 198 to be exact.
Sky lobbies on the 44 & 78 floors, elevators for floors between and also express elevators
brillant video
No Millennium Hilton hotel yet!
Can't imagine having to jump from that height.
ikr so sad😢😢
To either jump or be burned alive is such a terrible choice to make. So terrible. Just imagine if some smart cookie had parachutes stored those office. Imagine the lives that could have been saved.
😢rip 9/11 victims
hey Todd your prof picture..is that you in the 80s too?
Rip
WOW! They had cameras back then? That’s amazing
Why is everybody a wise ass? There were cameras as far back as 1888. ruclips.net/video/tc-L9_4jGc4/видео.html
Naw they didn't have cameras back then. I wonder how they took pictures in the 1800s.
Fuk that. Get sick from seeing that height just on my screen in my safe warm bed. Nope
I am also terrified of heights and never understood why.
Does anyone know what time the observation deck on south tower opened in the morning?
I believe it was 9:30am.
It was 9:30am for sure. One of the few good things about that day was that the attacks didnt happen while it was open cause it was a perfect day to be up there. Would've easily increased the death toll by a few hundred. A lot of those would've been children too.
@@NothingToPointOut24
The South Tower observation deck would have been immediately evacuated once the North tower was struck. Even if the attack happened after it opened, those people would have been gone before the second plane hit.
@@thomasg4324Ehh thats debatable. You're thinking in terms of how things are currently being run and not how they were in 2001.
And you could be right that they would tell people what happened and order them to leave the deck, but they might not have told people to leave the building altogether. Lots of accounts of people from the South Tower had people saying that it was safer in that building at first considering the amount of debris falling onto the streets from the North Tower as well as not being in the way of people evacuating and firefighters and paramedics doing their jobs.
One thing is for sure though is that no strict evacuation was in order after the first tower was attacked. Which probably led to the death of atleast 1000 people.

Who are you talking to in these videos? Who was it narrated for?
History
If I were u u should be on the 20th floor I don’t like higher buildings I don’t like now they fall
I will never be able to experience the twin towers sadly. But I feel horrible for the people that jumped
You might, if President Trump puts his Twin Towers plan into action.
Juggernaut13565 I hope Trump does rebuild them. I believe he was part of trying to rebuild them back in the 2000s so maybe he'll rethink it as president. The "freedom tower" sucks compared to the beauty that was the towers. They were an iconic part of New York for almost 30 years. They were like giant pieces of art. I wish I could've seen them in person but I was a small child when they came crashing down. I will see New York some day and visit the place where they once stood but it certainly won't be the same
@@jakerogers8272 I'd love to see the 2 towers rebuilt along with the Marriott hotel also lets have the new York skyline the way it was Donald trump
Aaron McGee Rebuilding the twin towers would be disrespectful to the dead.
