I wish we could turn back the time and erase all that madness that happened on 09/11. I’m not even American but that day touched me in a way I can’t even describe. Something just broke that day and my perception of the world and humanity changed forever.
I would too but its probably for the best that it happened. The united states changed alot after that. We now have more security and we have more protection and are safer. We learned alot from that day. If i could change one thing from that day though, it would be where everyone would survive, even those on planes. Also i would want the highjackers to be in jail before the day
Life was never the same after that day. It really felt like a different time before that day, how the world felt was just different.
Exactly.
I wish I'd travel back in time to also stop the madness.
The thing thing is you can't Keep that Notion or Outlook that life was better before, because that's what will keep you down etc.
These weren’t just two buildings they were special and had character and their own persona I felt.
They made a lot of happiness between each other..and for us as well.. ❤
All thanks to Yamasaki the architectural genius behind them. When they were first opened they received an award for the outstanding engineering achievement. However they never won any awards as works of good architecture. Critics of the time unanimously voted them as architectural blunders. Yamasaki never got the praise he deserved for his innovative design before succumbing to cancer in the 80s And the twin towers themselves were short lived as the world's tallest buildings. The sole reason they were 110 stories was to break the new record. Yama's initial concept called for 80 to 90 stories.
@@EskimoCanadian44 Yamasaki no fue reconocido como debía por su trabajo hasta que sus torres cayeron y el ya había fallecido
Muchos grandes nunca fueron elogiados en vida, sino hasta muertos
Man, how I miss the pre 9-11 era.
Our world is sooo much different now...scary..😔😒😔
El mundo en que un ataque aéreo era imposible, en el que como ingeniero o arquitecto podías hechar a andar tu imaginación y hacer diseños de todo tipo, sin tener que desecharlos o modificarlos por la posibilidad de atentados, buena época para la construcción
Beautiful Pictures those towers were the best
Ikr I’m addicted with these towers
@@samuelgarcia8771 yea to me they aren’t just buildings. I see them as important historical figures and the heart of New York! I love them!
I miss them and I wasn’t even born when they went down
@@samuelgarcia8771 Right even though I was born six years later
But played by heroes
Wow, these photos are incredible - great work. God I miss the Twin Towers
I feel like I still live in the world that has the WTC towers.

@@KeepNitReeel the North Tower was higher than the South Tower of two meters
@@mahibsabara1652
Yeah the North Tower was 6 ft higher plus had the huge 375 ft antenna. Definitely the more noticeable of the two.
I really wish they would've rebuilt the Twins but made them a few hundred feet taller, and implemented all the new security and emergency features which the current 1 World Trade uses. Steel reinforced concrete for the first 25 stories then steel and concrete for the next 90 stories. Have egress stairs both in the core and on the corners... And have them be special4lt lighted, reinforced, and pressurized. Have an air filtration system and better air flow and protection. Have an excellent smoke detecting system and sprinkler system. Thicker more resistant windows. Better/more fire protection foam.
And at the points where the huge steel sectipns come together, in the original WTC they were connected by large bolts. New WTC they use large bolts plus weld them together.
I think if the old towers had thicker more resistant windows, bolted AND welded joints, and adequate fire insulation - the towers absolutely would've withstood the attack.
@@Mommyandtux thank you very much, yes you have reason!!!Congratulations beautiful description!!!
Those towers were the soul of New York, no different building can replace them.
That is what they said about the singer tower as well.
true
@@brostenen just looked up that building it’s not beautiful at all
@@badben5609 It was extremely beautifull when it was build. And it had extreme inovations. It was more ahead of its time than WTC was at its time. I bet you have not dived into what made the singer tower unique have you? Just as I asked you to.
@@brostenen whatever dude
35:39 Simply stunning. Wow! No words to describe this perfection on-screen.
Oooh ✨
As a big WTC Twin Towers fan I love all those pics. I had never seen some of the Windows on the World photos on the video before. What a fancy and spacious restaurant it was! A complex of dining. Tks for posting!
Those towers were magnificent. They are still badly missed.
The music, the pictures, love having this in the background. Thanks for this amazing video ❤️
My Favorate Towers
Those pictures look like an extremely and extraordinary rare dream I'd never had
I feel that way too :-)
@@anne-mariedooley3530 I do too.
Y tal parece que seguirá siendo un sueño durante un largo rato, hoy en día nadie tiene el valor para construir algo similar por temor a que le suceda lo mismo, los tridentes, los pilares elevados hacia el cielo, tantos edificios, hacer casi una ciudad miniatura, el aspecto de lejos con esos 2 rectángulos enormes en el horizonte, columnas tan juntas que parecía que ni había ventanas, eso nunca volvió.
Desafortunadamente hoy deberías derramar miles de millones de dólares en una sola Torre, y todos te pondrían obstáculos, permisos y problemas hasta para colocar una simple ventanaa
The opening song is called "Billions and Billions" by Stellardone. Their song "Light Years" also appears at 24:55. Wonderfully made video & a fine selection of music to accompany it.
Can you Time Stamp ?!
How Appropriate.. billions and billions.
Glad to see, that you know about Stellardrone. My fav. One is eternity☺
Thanks! I was looking for it!
The music chose for the video is perfect for the photos. It’s like the entire video is a time capsule for how nicer and brighter things were before the day ♥️
I actually did not regret sitting and watching photos of the twin towers for an hour. The music was fitting too. Thank you for compiling all of this. I really enjoyed it!
20 years ago already! Wow. RIP to all those that lost their lives that day and to the ones that were affected by it,
Yup. Time moves fast, when you dont give it any thought at all.
There was no feeling like the one you got looking at the city from the top of the south tower or out the windows of "windows on the world". Lots of childhood memories of the towers. Some people call them boring structures but they were beautiful in their own unique sort of way. Thanks for this video.
Did you go inside them a lot??.. You were blessed to feel the love from the towers.. ❤
@@edendickens7254 so I only went to the top of the south tower twice and top of the north tower at windows just once, however, my friend and I used to sneak on the path trains when we were about 13, hang out in the plaza, and walk around the mall. To me, it was literally breath taking everytime you would walk into the plaza and look straight up at the towers.
@@greghartman5895 wow...a once in a lifetime experience ❤.. Have you went into.. Freedom Tower yet???...
@@edendickens7254 I haven't. Mainly because I moved out of the new York area before the building had opened. I would like to go up there at some point. Nothing can ever replace the towers.
@@greghartman5895 by all means..go see the new freedom tower. ❤...
A truly wonderful example of man’s ability to build beautiful structures. My condolences go out to the American people and the brave people of New York. Lots of love from the UK xxx
And an unfortunately their absence highlights man’s ability to be complete monsters
It's reassuring to see them again, yet sad to know they're gone, even after all these years.
Nothing can ever replace these legendary icons of prosperity. It is as if one is stepping in to another dimension of time-space when viewing the video. Words can't express the emotions one may feel from it, they are vast and complex just as the towers were. And indeed it is easy to get lost in them.
To more peaceful time before all the darkness. So glad i grew up in the 90s.
Sadly in other countries terrrorism existed well before the 90s especially growing up in Ireland!!!
Uhm didnt they have an attack in 94' aswell?
@@christiankohlberger7261 93, they bombed the garage
How old are you?
Todo lo que tiene auge tiene caída
I’m seeing on Saturday September 11th 2021 almost in tears It’s crazy how long it’s been
There are times where I forget exactly how tall the towers were and it amazes me again when I see them.
Everything is so good… the photos, the editing, and especially the music. I come back to this video often… thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏽❤️
The world Pre-2001 was wonderful. Like a dream.
i dont think theres a single thing that infuriates me more than seeing the towers missing in NYC. ill never forget the trauma its caused us.
Remembering all those who lost their lives in 9/11 2001 RIP ⚘
WATCHING 2021
I can't believe how amazing these buildings were. I still scream Twin Towers when I see them in movies and TV shows. I miss them on the New York landscape. 😪 I❤NY 👍
Watching in 2021. Tears fill my eyes as I watch. I can't believe it's been 20 years. Feels like just yesterday, the wounds are still fresh I guess. Such beautiful buildings and beautiful lives. And now it's all gone. Rest In Peace, we will never forget you. 💕 💕 💕
Awesome collection of pictures of the Twin Towers! A tribute of a lifetime. So many images most have never seen before. I knew about them before 911 but afterwards everyone knew about them. What a great way to remember them. Love the music you used too. Thank you for sharing all of images. Much appreciated!
Every chair, every lamp, every table, every carpet and also lots of the lifes we see in those images have turned into ashes 20 years ago.
It is such a surreal thought, but yet, such a real fact. It is a mad world, the one we are living in.
Aluminum Oxide: You ROCK. You come highly recommended. I'm so happy I found you. This is one of the best Twin Towers photo shots you've uploaded, if not the best of all.
I still have my World Trade Center observation deck tickets and postcards from years ago. They are treasured keepsakes now.
Oh I bet.. True treasure..you ought to put them in a frame.. ❤
Hey Rodney, what do you think of how the Site has been treated now ?
I've never been to NYC yet but I think it's Disgraceful that they basically Rewrote the Whole Layout of the Complex Or to Not have preserved the layout, especially that it's still a grave site
The music alone makes me nostalgic and sad. Beautiful buildings, they are missed.
Stellardrone is one of my favorite musicians, and his work fits this video very well.
The first time I saw the Twin Towers I was driving up the Jersey Turnpike at night, and I could see them for 10-20 miles before even reaching upper Jersey, across from Manhattan... and I thought, "My God... what are those magnificent twin buildings." They were almost bigger than life, and remained that way to me every time I went to NYC and saw them. I would just stare at them, amazed. They were my favorite buildings of all time... and still are! NYC will NEVER be the same without them. This video is haunting... as if seeing a dear friend who passed, once again.
They should have rebuilt them better, stronger than the originals. But I suppose in this day and time money is more important to some than anything else. We allowed terrorists to take something from us, and some were too cowardly to rebuild... or greedy!
I wonder if the evil, hate-filled b@st@rds who knocked my Twin Towers down are enjoying their 72 virgins right now... in HELL? Oh that's right... there is no enjoyment in hell. OOPS! Surprise!!!
Los bastardos que destruyeron a las Torres Gemelas, te aseguro que deben estar ardiendo eternamente, ahogándose en humo y saltando hacia un pozo infinito, tal y como le hicieron sufrir a los inocentes que asesinaron
Y las Torres, ya brillan en el cielo en toda su gloria para los que ya no están aqui
Y los que prefirieron un montón de esqueletos de cristal a un símbolo de unidad y fortaleza por simple dinero, que Dios se apiade
You spoke my mind. We should've rebuilt them & show that we can't be defeated by vile ppls.
Unfortunately, the hijackers won. We had a second chance to prove them wrong by rebuilding the towers. To bring back what they took away. But we didn’t. So, I’m sad to say they won.
While building back the twin tower is a good idea, kinda worried that it feels 9/11 never happened
@@PaehShorts While you have a point here, keep in mind three things. While there's plenty of evidence it did what will it accomplish is this:
Really honor the victims restoring their status.
Show that we can always rebound even from the worst,
& the enemy can't defeat us.
Great photos of the towers that will never be forgotten !
Thanks for the google link to More photos !
This is pure nostalgia. Wish I had seen them in real life.
My mom lived in NY in 1995 and also went to the wtc in 1995 . She has a picture of her on there she says but she hasn’t showed me it yet . My mom said it was such a beauty going up there and seeing the city .
We lost so much on 9/11/2001. This is lovely to see thank you.
This is amazing! So tastefully done and these pictures especially the ones with the amazing skyline are jaw- dropping to me and I’m sure many appreciate you putting this together. I wish there was pictures of the skyline with the towers so I could purchase and hang in my home. It still seems strange after all this time with the towers not there in the nighttime sky, and the towers all lit up just truly were a work of art and New York history. You did a awesome job thanks again. !! Rip to all 911 victims. We will never forget.🕊.
I really miss these beauties and the way they defied the skyline of NYC.
Thank you for doing this. Haven't thought of looking for this, but so glad it came up. Just really interesting to see how it all looked as
I had never been to them
Excellent work. I so miss the towers. I used to work at Oppenheimer in South Tower on 33rd floor. Although I no longer bank with Citbank, I still have my checkbook from the Citibank branch with the address 101 World Trade Center Concourse. It was downstairs at the mall area of WTC across from NY Coffee Station.
This is weird but I’m helping another channel make a video about the twin towers and what types of toilets they had but do you remember if they were American standard toilets??? There’s pics of them and I’m pretty sure they are American standard but the guy wanted to make sure he didn’t lie on UA-cam
The towers had to have a beauty shop...i did hair all my life..would love to see a picture of the beauty shop... ❤
@@californiacctoilets7280 I have no clue. I don't remember the toilets; barely remember the bathrooms. I was never one to use the toilets for no. 2. I always waited until I got home.
@@edendickens7254 I vaguely recall one at the mall area downstairs.
@@stevec0326 ok no worries but you are very lucky to have been in the towers before they were destroyed and I wish I could have seen them but I was born 2 years after 9/11
Tomorrow will be 20 years since the skyline and lives changed forever. My birthday falls on this day and it is unfortunate, but I’m going to try and remember what the towers for what they were. Crazy to think 20 years ago today those towers were still standing coming up to there final hours. Rest In Piece to all of those who perished.
Wonderful comment 💗
I love coming back to this video particularly after a few drinks. It just reminds me of a time gone by. Majestic, beautiful. Those beautiful towers and the people that admired them. 50.00-53:10 is my favourite part, those soaring synths. I never visited the towers. I was only 20 when they fell. I have never even visited the USA. I hope to one day visit the 9/11 memorial and pay my respects. God bless 🙏
I get chills thinking about the height of those buildings knowing people had to
Bless them all 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this! You truly have created a thing of beauty with these photos, and it's nice to see beauty again amidst all that's happening today.
C’est juste magnifique et les différents morceaux de musiques qui ont été choisis pour accompagner les photos sont très beaux. Comme j’aimerais que tout ce qui est arrivé le 11 septembre 2001 ne soit jamais arrivé….
Back in the late 90s I was there, having dinner all by myself. Then on the top, watching how beautiful NYC was,is, and always be on my memory. I'm getting old now. But, as millions, some of the fortunate to be there. God bless the mighty USA.
The Twin Towers were simply ✨ Iconic ✨
They were one of a Kind.. Just like New York... ❤
Beautiful pictures and scenery its so sad the buildings were destroyed and people lost their lives on 9/11 my condolences goes out to the families
Forever and ever in Heavenly Peace.. ❤
I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY ABOUT THE WTC HOPE THEM TERRORIST BASTARDS THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR 9/11 HAVE ALL BURNED IN HELL FOR WHAT THEY DID
These Twin Towers were extremely well built🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Then how were they destroyed like it was nothing
@@MennoM.L. fire my friend, they sustained a massive blow and still stood until the fire weakened critical beams
With 10,000 gallons of jet fuel & a 2 ton 767 Boeing Jet hitting the World Trade Center at 650 miles per hour what you can expect a ranging ball of 🔥. 😭 Day for America 😭
No skyscraper is immune to being destroyed nothing is, All we can do is just enjoy seeing them in our lifetimes.
@@sc1338 We al know thats Baloney ! wt7
I truly enjoyed that. I forgotten how beautiful the main floor lobby was, and how huge. I had applied for a job in tower 1, 65th floor. I didn't take the job, tho. If I did, I probably wouldn't be here tdy. I hope the ppl who interviewed me, made it out.
The WTC was featured so many films, in the 70s. They were interesting blogs. Modern. RIP WTC, and those who never made it out. The ending was very bad. But I'm glad we were able to enjoy them for the time we had them🕊🌷
New York is not the same anymore these buildings were the soul of the city
Ya know it I ain’t been since
Dziękuję za piękne zdjęcia. Marzyłam by kiedyś zobaczyć to na żywo a mogłam zobaczyć wirtualnie i poczuć się jak w realu 😊😘 Wiecznie żyją w pamięci.
I wish I got to see them they look beautiful.also rest in peace to everyone who died.💔💔😭
I never seen them because I was born 5 years later, but they were highly respected and adored, Rest In Peace to everyone who died in the attacks, Including the 6 from 1993 ❤
They were more than just buildings. They were elegant, beautiful, majestic, and in a way alive.
Truly a great loss
Prayers for all who were lost, and their loved ones who will feel the unrelenting pain.
Curse on the murdering cowards hope they are rotting in hell. They are a insult to a great religion and to God.
We will remember the Heros who ran towards the danger to save many lives that horror filled day. Bless them all.
By far one of the best videos I've seen of the twins so far. Great video!
Did you get to see them for real???
Stunningly Beautiful and Gorgeous Compilation...Thank you for uploading...May that Horrific day and the life’s lost NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!! Here 11/21
Twin Towers may be gone but will never be forgotten along with all those people that were tragically murdered in this terrorist attacks

Thank you for putting together this extensive album of the twin towers, mega like my friend!
These are very amazing photos. They remind us of what we once had and what we lost. I especially like the photo of the South tower at 0:26
I never got to see the twin towers in person. After watching this you’ve brought us there 💙
This is a phenomenal video you got shots of these masterpieces from every possible angle inside & out...very well done 👏👏
Beautiful, lengthy video. Thank you for sharing.
New WTC video cinematic released. Be sure to check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/Kcju-wJitPw/v-deo.html
It's hard to believe this September 11th coming up will be 20 years since this horrific tragedy happened. I miss the Twin Towers & R.I.P. to the police officers, firefighters, emts & innocent bystanders.
I share your sentiments. And I thank the many police officers, firefighters, and other first responders who are sick from doing rescue and recovery...wishing them well. 🙏
Its almost 20 years
Man, it's sad that all that nice stuff and pretty nice pictures got turned to ash
Superb and majestic buildings
I can never cross these off of my bucket list, that vexes me terribly, i grew up with those towers being born as they were going up
I have some prints from film when I visited the World trade center a couple of weeks before 9/11. As photographs they are nothing special, views from the top of the South tower, from the plaza, from Ellis Island. But, to me they are a deeply personal link to the towers and the people I probably passed by who would perish a few weeks later.
In particular, when I visited there was a camera which automatically took your picture on the observation deck and some girls inside who's job it was to try and sell you your picture. I can still vividly remember their New York accent as they shouted out 'stop and see your photos guys'. I didn't buy the photo but they smiled warmly at me anyway. This was on the top floor of WTC2. Every 9/11 anniversary I wonder if they were on duty on that fateful morning, and if they made it.
Man, I wish I was able to visit the WTC... As a person with sentimental value to stuff, ik those photos mean the world to you
Amazing images!! Thanks for creating this and sharing! ❤
Nada puede igualar lo magnifico de esas 2 torres.
It’s so sad that years of hard work was just crushed to pieces
Wow, great job at compiling this
Such beautiful and haunting memories. I thank God that I got to see them and visit in them several times in the 1980's and have pictures of my own of them still standing!
If possible, you could share the images on Flickr
@@AluminumOxide I know this is a dumb response but my uncle took a picture of a toilet at the wtc on the 78th floor of the south tower where the plane hit
You were so lucky to see them..and feel them in your heart..my life long dream was to visit New York..and see the twin tower's..but no..always had to work..always...man..my advice..dont ever be married to your job and you miss out on one little dream you wanted in life..rest in heavenly peace..thoese poor people. ❤

Thank you so much for uploading, these are amazing shots.
the towers werent amazing, they were PERFECT! even tho if i wasnt born yet.. they were still really perfect towers. nothing like these has been created before, may all victims of 9/11 and 1993 rest in peace.
Un proyecto tan masivo que demando tanto dinero y material en su tiempo, es una de esas cosas que solo sucede una vez en la Historia
Watching these images, even just stills of them standing in the distance. It just gives a whole vibe, iconic doesn't even begin to capture it.
The world really changed, I was barely a toddler, not even American, but there was a subtle shift. A lot of people looked to America as impenetrable. But, then this happened, and it just became clear how no one alive is truly safe.
Fue un diseño innovador y avanzado para la época que se construyo por el Arquitecto Minoru Yamasaki en 1966 en Manhatan NY. Utilizo los espacios abiertos, sin columnas dándole un toqué original, sencillo y bonito.
Yamasaki siempre que pudo intento dejar su marca personal en su obra, y se nota, desde el desaparecido WTC hasta la Torre Picasso, se conserva la esencia de la belleza en lo simple, la armonía, las columnas expuestas, las ventanas estrechas, la eliminación de diseños complejos y formas agresivas

Play “How deep is your love” was a nice touch as it was the last song to play in the WTC Plaza, even just before the towers collapsed.
I did not know that, thank you for sharing ❤
If the Twins were still there I would see them on EarthCam
20 years. Never forget
Thank You so much 4 this upload.....i loved this towers....so nice memories!
I never been inside even as a New Yorker but my dad had to drop something off once there when I was around 6/7 . I remember looking up and thinking “wow these buildings are really tall”. I also thought the courtyard I think it was between the two buildings was beautiful

I have never cared so much about 2 buildings. These just seem like they have so much character. Almost like they were alive.
I am sure the both of them had a world of HAPPINESS that went from one tower to the other... ❤ 😪😔😪
they weren’t a structure, they were an icon.
Never had the chance to visit them 😢
Rest In Peace all the innocent victims.
These photos are absolutely stunning!
I’ve never seen such a comprehensive collect of photos! This is amazing! You should make a compilation of solely the interiors of the towers, not many are familiar with what they looked like
