Four months later, history turned this amateur vid in a high valuable piece of footage. Thanks.

L3gEnDS what? What’s nasty?
3 months and 13 days later....
What makes it so valuable?
It’s crazy to think some of the people in the video walkin around could have been victims
And some of them could have been hero's. Some of them have their lives changed forever. Some of those people went to bed that evening not realising it was the last time they would do so. It's harrowing. ❤
Its crazy to think these people’s government blows up the damn towers
Not really likely but possible
@@abdullahalamri6829 unfortunately it is true this is the saddest
Or a surviver!!
There was such a calm innocence in the air back then. Sadly the world has never been the same.
Ah I know what you mean. 2001 was a great time. Especially for a childhood.
Yes! 2001 was chill..people were down to earth, unlike today.
I was 10 in 2001. Even though i was young i am still able to know what you mean. Compare 2001 to now and it is trash these days. Yea there was chaos back in the day as far as wars and attacks but not like now. Every week now there is a major attack somewhere.
Manira Sara you obviously took the time to write something about it, so you contradict yourself.
Millennials, you just gotta love em...😏
+Manira Sara you obviously care because your watching this video & responded back. 😂 tf!
I'd do anything to go back in time 17 years and visit the original twin towers. It'll always be just a dream to me.
Me too. I'd do everything to prevent 9/11 even if it would create "time paradoxes" and other geeky shit. To hell with paradoxes, I want the twins back.
Would you murder everyone if it meant u could go back?
@Joey Harper mans chatting ish. They wouldn't do anything.
@@nadimovitch9237 can i put some kind of demonic spell on them instead? makes the pain last longer
Tell them to evacuate all surrounding buildings on night of 9/10/01 until 9/12/01, while you’re there please.
Pre 9/11, pre COVID. Little did we know how amazing our world and lives were back then.
Never take anything good for granted!
Life is Still amazing!
@@mrandrossguy9871 I know right? What a negative Nancy she is!😂
@@mrandrossguy9871 Not for the dead people who suffered.
i know.. US governement created both, why we need a smaller government. god bless.
In two decades from now, you might find yourself reminiscing about how great the year 2023 was, just as you do today. Therefore, make the most of your life, savor every moment, and embrace the present with full enthusiasm. Instead of being overly optimistic about the current times and the future, focus on living in the now and cherishing the experiences it brings.
3:45 The towers finally making their appearance... I remember on the first time I came back to NYC after the fateful day I glanced in that direction while on the way in a bus and for a split second I actually half-expected the familiar sight before I was instantly greeted by an empty space. Seeing their demise on TV live was bad enough, but actually going there and experiencing their sudden absence first-hand...it just broke my heart to finally realize that they were indeed gone 😔😔😔
They are only buildings! Victims are important.
I had a similar experience when I came back down to the city from college for Thanksgiving break in 2001 my buddy and I went for a drive downtown and it just smack me in the face that the buildings were no longer their very surreal
Yavor Alexandroff we all know that! She/he is just saying it’s sad to realize there’s no building. It was Beautiful before that happened. Also I’m not saying it’s not Beautiful anymore just it’s sad.
Its very sad to think someone could do such a thing to other people and not regret it
WTC always intimidated me. I remember a school trip in 1st grade, the elevators were so fast it made your ears pop; it was clear you were at abnormal heights above ground once at the top, I can’t imagine working there daily. RIP to everyone who lost lives
Woah because of the height of the twin towers dang.
@@-phantom.7746 yes! They were massive
@@Rhythm973I’m. Sure the collapse intimidated you even more
@@r62aguy85I’m. Sure that’s irrelevant 🤡
In those days the World Trade Center Towers still dominated the view across the river where I lived in downtown Jersey City. By the time I left in 2015, there were so many towers in Jersey City that when I stood on the front porch and looked left, I could not see anything in New York anymore. I had to go down by the curb on the sidewalk to see New York and even then, you had to know what was in New York, it was no longer obvious just by looking.
Those were the days: when the World Trade Center was always there, something you had just seen or would see again soon. I had temp jobs up above the 100th floor and on other floors too. What a view we had up there at Shearson Lehman. Often I was there after the sun was down. The elevators were so big. I used to ask myself if I would want to work in those buildings full time and the answer was, not really.
I don't believe in buildings that tall anymore. If something goes wrong there are just too many people and too many stairs. It is just too much. Whatever anybody says, don't believe it. It is just too much.
Thank you for the ride. I would love to do it again. 8/22/21
Just think the same time this video was beeing made the plan to attack was already done
Joanna Marroquon nah go on Mohammad Atta wikipedia it say the attacks was planned around August or July and that he traveled on multiple flights before Flight 11 to see how he could carry it out
Osama bin laden spent years planning out the attacks
Israel Mossad had been planning this attack since the 80s
How does Joanna know about the plans?
@@armchairquarterback2672 Shut up you Anti semite
Kinda creepy hearing the sirens on the highway.
krayzeejojo you know what the problem with new York is ? It's new York
krayzeejojo Yeah, creepy foreshadowing of what's yet to come... And those brave firemen could be deceased for all we know...
There’s nonstop sirens in New York
I was thinking the same thing in just 4 months there would sadly be lots of them :(
okay now I think you're just splitting hairs.
I went to visit the towers in the summer of 1996 it was such a beautiful day i remember being in the elavator so excited to get to the top i was about 12 at the time still hard to believe after 14 years there gone
Chuck Norris at least you have a memory
Wanna go bowling?
Thanks for sharing this priceless footage
seand67 glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Ben what happened to the ones with the music i really liked it
new york skyline looks so empty now that tbe towers arent there
@Stix N' Stones I know im from new Jersey and I take a bus to
New York sometimes...
Tell that to the Muslims
@Stix N' Stones Yeah, but it's like there forgetting what happened to 17 years ago.
@@dontask9735 so your mad at many people for the mistakes of 19 lunatics
And you only care about the towers
What about the innocent people who have perished in the twin towers, do you not care about people who died on 9/11
The towers could have been rebuilt yes, but we can't bring the innocent lives that were killed on 9/11
Stix N' Stones
Well I think they either should’ve have Rebuilt them Not in same exact place OF Course , Or NOT Have built Anything But the Memorial There !!!
But here we are
So much nostalgia. Thanks for sharing

@@robertosozio3425 Thanks a million Roberto and thanks a million for watching!!!
I swear when I saw the twin towers my heart dropped, I'm so sad I wasn't even alive to see any of it. I was born in 2003 and I just hate the fact that they got.. destroyed!
me too :( i was born in 2004.
It was such a horrible day! I wasn't there and it was on the news. It would make you feel like it had to be a dream.
I was born in 2011... now in 2019 I remembered 9/11... to see the heart breaking videos it’s sad... of only 9/11 didn’t happen...
I was able to see them from the Jersey airport during a flight layover in 1996. Thankfully my kids seen them also. They don't remember much cause Grandma was passing (my mom). The date 11-9
Born in 2007, they look beautiful for NYC.
Don't think I've ever driven on the FDR and seen so little traffic, pretty crazy. Also pretty sure a cab ride from 62nd to WTC wouldn't cost $14 dollars today lol.
more like 40 a ride hell the subway would have been hell of alot faster
@@NickyD $88 in today's currency!
more like 80 bucks now
@@lickkittysplit3871 Shit, it’s like 40+ dollars these days, if there’s one thing that was better in older decades, it’s the prices of everything.
I really miss those old iconic crown vic cabs soo much. They ruled NYC. Really hate the new shitty Toyota camary, Prius cabs
When I finally visit (hopefully this year maybe) I'll request a Crown Vic from a cab company. They'll think I'm nuts ("a cab is a cab mister!") but fuck 'em, I wanna ride in probably the last Crown Vic. They're so iconic to us Euro dudes
The Crown Victorian Gas tank explodes when hit . After 2005 The police dept stopped using the car. In Yonkers a cop was killed when the gas tank got hit ..
Crown Vic were banned since the gasoline tank explodes when hit at a certain angle. Even police departments replaced them the risks were too severe
I remember visiting Manhattan for the first time. Although I can’t remember what year. I can say for sure it was on September 10 and after the towers fell. But, I was shocked how sexy and beautiful the girls were there. And, I love the city too
They were gas hogs too
World trade center was so beautiful 😍
They had their own sort of celebrity status as a landmark.
I went to the World Trade Center in March of '01. Never in a million years did I imagine that it would all be gone in just a few months.
oh man those towers were friggin HUGEE. I cant imagine being next to them when they fell
You might of died, if you were next to them when they fell.
There was such a calm innocence in the air back then. Sadly the world has never been the same.
Bro New York used to be violent as hell in the 80's
Great video, brought back memories of driving through NYC as a child with my dad since he lived in Manhattan and I'd spend weekends at his apartment which was near the WTC. At night the NYC skyline was a breathtaking view something you'd have to see in person to really appreciate. After the towers came down the skyline was just not the same and I would cry everytime wed pass where they use to be. Even now as an adult this makes me want to cry.
You must've had an amazing time there as a child! I remember being 9 years old and watching these amazing buildings get destroyed. When I thought of America, I always thought of the twin towers.
@@krist6074 I also thought of twin towers and all my 9 years of li
new york without them is like egypt without the pyramids or paris without the eiffel tower or san francisco without the iconic golden gate
love you ❤❤

Let's go bowling.
Jimboramba Roman, you fucking Idiot.
"my mother is my sister..."
These videos have become so iconic, and showing the towers as some of us have never seen before. Thank you.
Oh, that moment, when you first could glimpse the towers! What a view it was!
The WTC were the most beautiful Twin towers on the planet, they had so much carisma! Minoru Yamasaki buildings, they are all very special!
Skip (extra cost)
GTA 4 reference...
Too bad they fucked the radio station in the name of retarded bureaucracy, AKA "Copyright Law" and "Licensing"
BigDannyK nah GTA 5 reference
The whole place was majestic, New York lost a amazing landmark.
Those bastards took our skyline
No one ever expected just how sacred pre 9/11 videos of Downtown would really become
The good ole days, I miss the old N.Y.C ....I was in 7th grade when the twin towers was attacked !
I was in 9th grade in high school.
This is great footage of an otherwise forgotten pov to the average person in modern day NYC. I love this kind of stuff, now they just need to turn this into a VR experience.
Back when crown Vic's ruled the roads and taxi drivers could speak English. I always try to hail an old Vic if I ever have to take the taxi, knowing that it will soon be replaced by some garbage Toyota minivan or Camry. Long live the vic
I hear ya I was supposed to visit for a month last May but medical shit forced me to cancel (lost a fortune) and I knew I'd have a hard time finding a Crown Vic but Hell damn if I'm goin to New York I'm ridin in a goddamn Crown Vic ya know?!
Are there any left?!
Felice Graziano I’ve seen them but I don’t see many left.
I noticed that all of them got replaced by now
No more Crown Vics :-(
@@DannyK1992 there are still like 50 operating but they're sparse compared to the thousands of cars in the city
@@visionist7 as of sep 2019, there are still about 50 operating, but they're few and far between.
A day like today 29.05.2001 - 29.05.2016 = 15 years later
Oh, damn. So many GTA flashbacks.
+Kakto Tak Shut up
Never got to go but this video shows me the feeling it would have been driving up to them.
You should still come to NY. 🌹 it's always exciting walking around the City. I think u would luv it. 💞
well that depends on what direction you were coming from.
Una pena que ya no me existan , me hubiera encantado visitarlas eran hermosas 😪
I enjoyed this, thank you. Brought back some great memories.
givingbirthiseasy thank you. Glad you liked it
Did you visit Windows On The World?
Who's that in your profile pic?
As an ex New Yorker, in 2001 the building and signs in your video look like I remember, and oddly the traffic looks normal, Not Crazy like these Days! And it's good to remember seeing yellow cabs, Not Uber & Lyft which killed the cabbies. And to think we all functioned without Smart Phones and people survived just fine!
And Yes this Millennium started off badly with the 9/11 attack on the United States and our lives changed, things have gotten Crazy Expensive and more complicated and dangerous. Life simple Joys that always existed in the 1/2 century before are gone and have been replaced with a sickly acceptance of "THE NEW NORMAL". Life has been bad ever since!
I'd pay a fortune to go in this taxi today.
That was such a lovely time to be alive. NY is not the same without those two. They were something special.
ever since 9/11 this world is messed up
Matthew Morales maybe since everyone saw our government get away with mass murder
Brooke R how did building 7 collapse with just fire ??? It wasn’t hit by a plane. How did the pentagon aka the most secured building in America didn’t have one camera catch the plane hitting the building. You are completely brainwashed by the government kid. It wasn’t bush that did it because he is just a puppet but go do some research before coming here to act like you know shit.
Lejuan James Um there actually was a security footage of the plane hitting the Pentagon that day
Very truth what you saying
@@christophertrujillo719 just have to say that you can't tell if it's a plane or not. We see a flash and a boom of fire
My family was planning on taking me and my sister during the summer of 2002. Obviously we never got to. We were planning on visiting New York City that summer. I remember looking forward to it over a year in advance. We didn't end up going anyway because my grandfather died but it still feels strange to think that in summer of 2001 we were expecting the Twin Towers to still be there in 2002.
I was planning a trip in May 2017 for almost a year beforehand (from August 2016) and had to cancel at the last minute due to surprise cancer. Lost so much money I had to sell my car. So gutted. Gotta try and go again though
What is common, that everyone exactly remember that day, 11.09.2001, and what they did that date.
I was on my way from physics exam at Uni, driving from Kraków to Sanok, east Poland. My girlfriend picked up the call from her mother. She started to explain to us what just have happened. It was so difficult to catch, that enormous tragedy. Once we got back home, we jest sat in front of tv and followed breaking news. Horrible view.
It's not me to judge and comment if towers collapsed due to melted steel (i have my own opinion about that). I just wanted to express, that it's so sad, that many innocent souls lost their lifes.
Greetings from PL
The glory days of the early 00s and my life
@Alex Alex A lot of new people, people who weren't even alive when it happened
@Alex Alex Children are people and people born in 01 and 02 are adults now
@Alex Alex Pretty much. I'm a generation X er. I was always so fascinated by stuff in the 1960's and 50's. My dad would say that is yesterday to him. So you see young people on these videos. To them it was a long time ago. To us, it was just yesterday. 09/11 seems like only 10 years ago to me not 20.
Glory days are always short
@Alex Alex BS. The 2020's is a much different world in many ways than just technology, especially socially & politically. Americans in 2001 weren't wearing masks either.
Ah, $14 for a drive like that. In Europe you pay atleast 50 for that drive.
People from Poland also died in WTC but my friend alive because she had weekend that day. Respect from Poland
THEY SHOULD HAVE REBUILT THE TWIN TOWERS.
I just can't imagine being there when the two largest things in the sky is falling. It must have been extremely surreal.
UA-cam is the closest we have to a time machine. R.I.P to the victims. God bless everyone 🙏
Those towers always caused me Claustrophobia, Its narrow windows, its external appearance, like armored, oh I can't imagine if you add heat, smoke and Fire to that 🥺🥺
20 years ago back in 2001
Never forget what happen to the Twin Towers
R.I.P to all the people that lost there lives on the day
Including in Washington DC & Philadelphia
UA 93 crashed in a feild near shanksville PA
UA 93's target was the white house.
There were millions upon millions of people who visited the towers inside and outside before they were gone. If they went there and didn't take very much photographs of the buildings from the inside or outside, of such a unique place, then that was there choice. Many people afterwards most likely wished they had. The towers were first attacked back in 1993, if you remember. If you don't, just google it. You would think more people would visit and appreciate those buildings after the first attack, but they still didn't receive much respect. They were not exactly liked by some people, because they thought the buildings were too plain looking. Which they weren't. There was an indifference to them compared to the other buildings in New York city at the time.
+Dean Wilson They never got the respect they deserved as not just icons of New York but of the entire United States and arguably the western world as a whole.
I wonder if folks would claim they loved the new building all along, if it were to disappear. Some folks like it but it aint the twins and never will be
Not 100% true.. If the twin towers were so ugly and hated they wouldn't have been put on so many movie posters, in movies, covers of magazines, used for music videos and weren't hated by everyone. I sure didn't care for them and took them for granted before 9/11 anytime I saw them I was just like "Wow. Two tall ass buildings."
Felice Graziano hey ben had ones that had music in it what was the name of the music
Back when we didn't have Uber's or use any apps to order everything ,Taxi cabs didn't use gps neither
Sigh...❤
I can see just how well the developers of GTA 4 captured the feel of New York just by watching this video. They really did know the city.
Wow! It's like you have been in that taxi for a very long time! How much did it cost you to go to The World Trade Center?
*Did you know that The World Trade Centers Complex was so big that it had it's own Zip-code? Yup! It sure did! **#Facts*
Thank you for filming the ride and making us ride along with you 😊🤝
I never got to see them in person. The first time I went to NYC in 2006 the site was a huge construction zone.
same here.
A Dean I was born in 2006 so I definitely wouldn’t be able to see them.
The new 7 wtc was finished in 2006
damn thats a good fare
If I ever travel through time I would surely give my life so that 9/11 never happens. RIP NEVER FORGET
I can’t believe that it’s gonna be the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. 2001-2021
Holy shit the twin towers!
And then, the world was never the same. Even from the other side of the world. How can one single day change the fate of the world ? Though I'm from France, I remember every bit of that fateful day. I'm speechless.
Now it's way more than $14 dollars. It wasn't expensive at the time.
$14...what street did you get on at?
Noelio Emerald-Isle East 62nd Street and York Avenue by the looks of it..
Queen Ant Street at the junction with Rattlesnake Pass..🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜👸👸🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🚖🚖🚖🚕🚕🚕🚕🚕🚖🚕🚖🚖🚖🛬🏭🛬🏭🗽
I've never been to New York but would love to visit. Every time I see the WTC my heart pauses to think of what happened there.
I hate the post 9/11 world we live in.
Don't frown ... smile! We should be happy and proud of the work that has been done! : ) Knocked us down, but we get back up!
A simpler innocent time 😞
Really glad you liked it and thanks for watching.
I wish the towers would have been there during my existence. Never saw them exist in my time
Man i never really got the perspective of just how truly tall they were. 4:13 gives a good idea of it. Interesting to see them from that angle. To just know that more than likely at the moment of this recording the people who jumped out of them were working there. The north tower you know they jumped from the top of. I would believe the first plane hit on the side we see aka the east side but it's really hard to tell for me. If' I'm wrong correct me. It's even crazier that below the paused image i have a documentary with a screen shot of the gash and smoke from the north tower
Edit: indeed the first plane hit the right/east side. Was just watching another video of this exact angle. South tower was hit on the other side.
The North Tower was hit from the north side, from uptown Manhattan. The South Tower from the south side, across the bay.
If you could go back in time and try to tell people what's going to happen they would think you were nuts.and it all started with a box cutter.
so many want to visit the buildings so badly... for those who worked or went their your very lucky
6:11 Can't tell if receipt is printing or it's just the black smoke monster noise from LOST
I love those cars. Sad to see thrm in junkyards these days and also be called "ugly"
@Alex Alex Antiques from 1910s are still drivable
$14 only? Shet, old times...
The UA-cam algorithm does it again!
It's Wednesday, May 29th, 2024. What do I get recommended? A video shot exactly 23 years ago!
And to think, as a native New Yorker, I visited the WTC twice. First, for my 10th birthday in November of 1991. My second, and last time, 2 weeks before 9/11 when I was 19 going on 20. From The Bronx, with love. Thanks for posting this great video.❤
New York before the coronavirus.

19 years!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Many thanks to uploading !
Estelle Champagne thanks glad you liked it
I remember staying at the Stardust Casino Hotel in Las Vegas Christmas 1995, I was told to go up the stairs in case of an emergency. Go up, not down, a helicopter will pick up people in the high floors. Back in the day, you went up, not down if you were on a high floor in a hotel junior suite.
I saw myself in the video
2001 classic
Pre-9/11 world was just beautiful. I miss those days so much.
Good old times!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A brief glimpse into life before it changed forever 💔 Never forget
Love the cab drive very relaxing :)
It’s very different now. Nobody pays attention. Staring at their phones. I’m lucky enough to have been in the towers a few times. Windows on the world was awesome. Went there for My Sisters 16th Birthday.
Everything back then just seemed more relaxed and easy going, :(
In a sense it was!
Great video, but hard to watch knowing what was about to happen.
So annoying that when the cab arrives you can't see the building because of trailer thumbnails for other videos
💔such beautiful skyline new York was with las torres gemelas muy bonitas 💓
nice video... I would have liked to meet the twin towers, but now is imposible... beautifuls skyscrapers..they are gone because of man.
I wonder if the 2 red signs outside each tower indicating World Trade Center 1 and World Trade Center 2 were recovered from the rubble and put in the 911 museum
I didn't know u can tape someone in taxi back then.
Could we refund the freedom tower and place an order for World trade center x2 in the shopping cart? Shipping probably would be outrageous but ....
The sound at the end was scary
Crazy to think this video was dated to May 29th, 2001, three and a half months before 9/11
