    My great aunt went to NYC in the summer of 2001 as a tourist snd she was on the south tower observation deck. She has quite a few photos of the NYC skyline from up top. She has always felt a weird kind of eerie feeling knowing she stood where thousands of people died.

    My boss and the crew I work with were contractors that did a lot of machinery service in the subcellars of both towers, and my dad knew a guy who worked the night shift as an engineer in the north tower. My boss and my coworkers were in rock center the day flight 11 hit the north tower, and they basically dropped what they were doing and ran back up to the service along with other engineers and janitors. My dads buddy clocked out of the tower at 8:30 and got home where his wife was crying at 9:10.

    Ps most of these pics were taken by Konstantin Petrov, an Estonian who worked in Windows of the world in tower 1. He worked night shifts so left the building on the morning of 9/11 before the attacks happened. Sadly he died the next year in a motorcycle accident.

    6:03: that’s where Chief Pfeifer and Jules Naudet had pulled up and parked when Pfeifer and his envoy arrived at the North Tower on 9/11. Also, during the whole time the North Tower was burning, that would be one of the few main spots that debris and bodies would land, so much so that some people who escaped from the lobby had to run and hope not to get crushed by anything from above.

    Something I think you'd enjoy researching would be the 'Disintegration Loops' made by William Basinski. It's an album comprised of musical loops Basinski had recorded in August of 2001 to create an Avante-Garde album, but coinciding with the attacks Basinski had witnessed from the rooftop of his apartment in New York, decided to dedicate to the victims of the attack. Basinski would use an hours worth of tape shot from his point of view towards the smoke where the towers fell as backdrop to the album, recorded during the final hour of daylight on September 11th. The entire album is incredibly powerful (to me at least) and gives off a very beautiful but melancholy tone, contrasting the emotional music with the sad sight of smoke rising over the sunset. In 2002 it was released, and 20 years it was remastered for it's upcoming induction into the 9/11 national museum.

    What fascinates me is this story that appeared on Unsolved Mysteries about the girl who went missing the night before 9-11. She had been there in that area shopping and then suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Where did she go? Who was she with? Nobody can figure out what happend to this woman the night before 9-11. It's really fascinateing bc she is on video camera just shopping behaveing normally and after that they cannot place her on camera where she went and who was around her.

In the Courtyard with a Band playing on Stage and a Festival going on. Just Tons of stuff you didnt think existed from office workers working to the Sky lobbies and everything in between. The channel on here is called Aluminum Oxide.
    Cant post a Link here for some reason but the video is from 2 years ago called Twin Towers

    My grandparents have a picture from a disposable camera of them in NYC’s Times Square sometime between the late 1970s to the early 200s. On the frame, in clear view, the twin towers of the World Trade Center. They claim they also have a super 8 movie of that same trip but have no idea where it is.
