- The entire evolution of the original World Trade Center and Lower Manhattan.
This is the biggest project that I have worked on.
I've also updated this version because there were some things that bothered me in the original one, so I hope you all like it.
I do not own anything in this video, including music and images. All images belong to their rightful owners.
Inspiration for this video was made possible by Marc Yatasube! I love his work, so please check out his UA-cam channel!
Music I used :
The CASCADES - Rhythm of the Rain - • The CASCADES-Rhythm Of...
The Jacksons - Blame It on the Boogie - • The Jacksons - Blame I...
Starship - We Built This City - • We Built This City
Britney Spears - ... Baby One More Time - • ... Baby One More Time...
Lucy - Forever - • Forever

These buildings were absolutely impressive. It’s really heartbreaking to know that they were destroyed along with around 3,000 people dying that day. Big respect to all of the firefighters and police officers that tried to help. May all of those people rest happily now.
Rest in peace those towers.
But people died, and that's end of.
Really is sad😢 a guy from Cleveland cheering up for New York.
I see lots of videos on these beautiful Towers I once had the privilege of working at--the South Tower, 86th floor. I'm not the only person who would love to see them rebuilt. What's there now it beyond ugly and insulting.
That’s even more deaths than Titanic… So sad…
But the construction itselve was a Doom
I've done some research on this, and apparently this photo at 16:42 was taken at 8:30 on September 11th, 2001, only 16 minutes before the attack, which is mind blowing.
So it's probably one of the last photos of the tower's
If true, by that moment the first plane was already hijacked and was flying towards its target.
how do you know this ?
Moment before disaster?
@@jamiew1664its in the 9/11 memorial museum, they confirm it as such iirc
I just love to imagine myself to be in the 1980s to 1990s. Living in Brooklyn and have friends and family travel to World Trade Center for Mall Shopping with iconic songs on the speakers. It’s just so amazing how it is to live in that year.
Yes❤
I definitely relate to you
it's the 60s and 70s for me 🙂
@@davidevans3227yes but NYC in the 60's and 70's is not a place were you can live in peace 😅 quite dangerous
Why is nobody talking about how good Rhythm of The Rain is? It’s literally the perfect song for the 60’s
Yeah this song needs recommendation. Not to be off topic here, but I would picture this song playing in a movie where the main protagonist is depressed.
@@MikeChhem yeah tbh
Yes I love this song
@@ANDREW_EDITZ8429I’m obsessed with it
@@Darkvoid55 same
I'm Canadian, and the Twin Towers were probably one of the most beautiful towers in NY. They were simple in design, yet they were captivating because of their size. Seeing this video of the progression of their building to now was amazing and devastating. It is strange to love something that is just a building. I personally don't like the new world trade center and I have always wanted to visit the Twin Towers.
When people think of NY, they usually think of the Statue of Liberty, the yellow cabs, or the Empire State Building. To me, the Twin Towers will always be the symbol of the State, and I can't explain why.
The CN Tower was also built in the 70s. Two (or three if counting the Twin Towers as two) very well-known structures were being built at that time.
Seeing the Twin Towers in older films and shows haunt me, and also bring sadness. Sometimes I pause the scene and stare at them. The amount of life loss from the events of 9/11 is forever engraved in all the minds in the world. Nearly everyone knows of the incident. These towers - although now long gone, still stand tall in memory. I only hope America one day becomes the country that soldiers fought for. I really hope the States can learn to love and stand united with peace and humility instead of guns and hate.
One of the first things I'd do if I could go back in time is to see the Twin Towers. They are majestic!
Rest easy to all the victims and their loved ones who have to live with the pain forever. Hopefully, we will never have to see anything close to another 9/11.
i agree
Very nice
Amen
Personally, I like the simple look of the TT, but the look of the new one is very different, in my opinion, and I think that if they had made an exact replica of the Twin Towers,For some or many, it would be something like revisiting a painful past, so in my view, the idea they had was smart
“hit me baby one more time” is the worst choice possible
How
@@Bj-240 “Hit” Me baby “one more time” when looking at the twin towers after they got hit
@@Mittenscat13 oh now i understand💀
Baby one more time too
*best. BEST choice possible. Stop with the fake sentiment it’s cringe
There's something about the inaccessibility of the past that makes these buildings special.
Same for the people who cannot be heard anymore, when you become of working age it isn't hard to believe any one of them could have been a co-worker, friend or even a faithful other. You realize what they had and lost in that moment...
Every single one of them is still with us, we may not have known them in person, perhaps only their name and a face, that's already their significance edged in ourselves.
And the towers themselves too, even people born decades after will remember these were once reality, carrying the hopes and dreams of so many, the meaningfulness becomes profound when we cannot visit them anymore.
Old WTC was what it made NYC special...Current buildings in Ground Zero will never achieve same special status, the original WTC was.
I feel like 9/11 will continue to be talked about by people long after our American civilization is no longer around.
So thoughtful, I am crying >.
Two of the world's most beautiful towers
From 1931 to 1973, the Empire State Building was the tallest building in the World. The Twin Towers surpassed the Empire State as tallest when they finished construction. The Sears Tower would then replace the Twins whenever it was constructed. America pushed the skyscraper revolution that we now see all over the World. It pushed people to build incredible buildings.
the following year Sears was finished, but they went up together, with Sears surpassing the WTC- they planned that from the beginning, they didn't need a 110-story building (really, 108 with a couple service floors they add to make 110), but purposely did that so they could have the tallest in the world as Sears was the largest store in the world at the time, and wanted to make a bold statement.
@@jackson5116 Ok?
Nowadays, none of those buidings would be even in the Top 20 of the tallest of the world.
The CN Tower in Toronto Canada surpassed both the wtc and sears tower in 1973. Sears tower was completed in may of 73 when the CN Tower was completed in February. You're info is wrong.
@@lunantix CN Tower is an antenna, it's not considered properly a building at the moment of certify records
"Forever" is actually a brilliant choice of song given the limited time that was left by the 2000s.
GTA 3 mate!
@@NEJIDI knew I recognised it from somewhere!
@@wirelad2007 Glad to hear that man.
Did anyone else get an eeerie feeling at 3.02 withe the shadow of thT bird over the towers, isn't that the section first plane went into the North tower?
Yes!
It’s quite sad that the engineers put so much effort and dedication into constructing these towers only for all their hard work to collapse 3 decades later.
16:42: This photo was actually taken on 9/11, 16 minutes before the first plane hit.
Wait what really!? How do you know?!
You can find that image on several corners of the internet, it’s even on display at the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
Kinda scary to think about now tbh……
Whzt an eerie picture they were already doomed with way too many people (save 19 pos) and no one knew it
Probably, an organiser took it.
The 1st song fits perfectly with all the photos of NY with the towers being built
That waffling construction is a haunting image now
It's a shame all that work, with all that planning, and all that building to be undone in such a short period of time. They served their purpose for almost 30 years.
Taking those buildings down had been in Osama's head since at least 1997.
He recruited Atta & Co. for the task around 1999.
Refined the plan the 1993 Algerian hi jackers had and struck.
He himself admitted the plan went way better than he had planned(With the towers collapsing). Tragic
@@jamiedavid8023 what a sick, sick man
@@cockatielethan5969 he surely was
@@jamiedavid8023I wonder what Osama bin Laden felt when those Seals broke into his bedroom and old Binny received a bullet in the head?
@@neptunedawn7121”Crap”
I just love the “We Built This City” song, just too good ❤
I would have loved to live during the existence of the Twin Towers. Such wonderful times the 70s, 80s and 90s were. And I enjoyed listening to the playlist incorporated into the video. ❤
It was the worst period for New York, criminality rate was crazy
@@kawaibakaneko Seriously? As far as I know, it wasn't that way like it is now.
Why are these buildings so captivating? So haunting to see them and know there fate. Still can't believe 911 happened.
Lovely video, especially liked the inclusion of 'Forever' by Lucy, off the GTA III soundtrack!
That song was in the original version of this WTC evolution by Marc Yutsabe, but not the full song.
gta 3 is like what new york was like before it got all screwed up
Beautiful put together and I love all the music, even Brittany, thank you for this❤
I watched the towers rise as a child and my father worked for a Company that supplied materials to the Trade centers. I worked in NYC during the 80's and 90's and the towers in the early years were not that loved but became part of the landscape and were accepted and beloved but most New Yorkers. watching them fall was something I can never forget.
I read somewhere that at first they were compared to 2 boxes of spaghetti
@@user-yn8fr9uf5w Since they were modern style box building and did clash with the Art Deco skyline NY'ers were not a fan of them right away. But I found them very useful because they were so tall you kinda always knew where you at in relation to lower Manhattan.
As a resident of Maryland, I've come to learn to value landmarks and important structures a lot more in the recent times. 😓
(For a context: I'm a member of Gen Z, who was born years after 9/11.)
11:07 has to be the 1993 bombing, too many emergency vehicles surrounding the towers.
17:04 doesn’t even look like New York anymore
Ikr 😢
It makes me ill😢
Yeah it looks like a smaller city
It's just towers, they don't change the city's shape
@@RailfanningwithGabeandR142 they were the tallest buildings in the skyline, they definitely changed the skylines shape alot when they were gone.
I love the 1970s song too much, Michael Jackson voice is so fun and he is my favorite singer😮😊
Man, music back in the day were the best.
Michael Jackson didn't even create this song
And it just sounds like him.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blame_It_on_the_Boogie came out in 1978 though, a few years after building completion.

Great Video!!! Best Project and work you have produced!
Glad you like it!
Great video! Even better, with The Jacksons in it. You’ve got great taste in music!
Those two Towers were incredible with so many different types of stores restaurants and even a workout gym. It was a great place for all people. I would of liked to have the opportunity to visit it in the 90’s that’s when I was younger and more adventurous. I feel sad when I see pictures of the towers seem like a part of New York they stood for unity and humanity. 🇺🇸💫✨💖💙
I don’t know why, watching the end of this kind of made me cry
What a beautiful compilation and showcase of history for this. Great video! Never got to visit the twins before they fell but it certainly affected my architectural studies and career focus going forward. The follow-up video of 2001-2023 was excellent as well.
Nice Video... When you look at it, you really feel that those were different and, above all, good times. Well done, including the music. Thanks! 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this really beautiful video!!
4:04 This photo is beautiful and tragic, if I’m correct it’s taken at the fresh kills landfill where the towers remains ended up for processing
That photo was actually taken in Jersey City with that landfill later becoming modern-day Liberty State Park just a few years after that photo was taken.
When you see how they were constructed, they were really just hollow skeletons held together with nuts and bolts. They look strong and impressive on the outside though.
You got a point , that explains how they came down easily
I agree. There doesn't seemed to be an especially strong central core/spine of the building from the looks of it. Just metal frame all around and then added metal covered with concrete as facade. I might be wrong though, but that's what it seemed to me.
@@SickOfDemocracy it's my understanding that the floors were just steel plate over the trusses, with a concrete slab over the top. Walls were just plaster board stud wall jobs, all intended to be light weight.
@@SickOfDemocracyIt was lightweight steel trusses that connected the perimeter columns to the core columns also providing for floor span. A metal sheet deck was added over and then poured over with 4 inch thick concrete to reinforce the metal deck. The floors and perimeter columns were also largely pre assembled on the ground on pulled up in sections with a crane., then being bolted together
Still not enough to bring down by mere airplanes. Don’t kid yourself
I love just thinking about me living in lower manhattan in the 80's and have a beautiful family and go every single day at the world trade center and vibe on the rythm of the music that was played at ground zero.
In 2023 if the twin towers were around today they would’ve been around for 50 years.
This is a pretty good tribute video to show the memory of the twin towers
I do not care what anyone says I prefer the twin towers over the new complex I will defend this architecture until I die
And RIP to all the victims of 911 and 93 bombing.
The perpetrators who killed these people and destroyed these buildings I hope they are rotting in hell.
I think that Osama bin Laden believes that he would NEVER be held accountable for the atrocity called 9/11. Old Binny didn't think--or maybe he did-- that forensic accountants would track the money he spent to achieve his dream from the Florida flight schools. Old Binny didn't account for the US to track down the paymaster and the architect. Old Binny didn't count on the US discovering his courier system and tracking him to his front door. And Old Binny didn't count on the US standing in his bedroom and shooting a bullet into his head. Old Binny thought he could kill innocent people without some consequence to himself. He thought wrong!
If they were around today they would be the 23rd & 25th tallest buildings on the planet 24th being the Sears Tower
@@AeronNotAaron The Sears tower in Chicago they renamed it the Willis tower.
@@shawnlittle3091 no one calls it the willis tower tho. Everyone still refers to it as sears tower. Just like the new WTC building. Everyone calls it Freedom tower. It just sticks....
I don't know but these 2 photos at (3:00 - 3:11) gave me the chills. That angle shot though, forshadowing or what.
I love the fact you put in music based on the popular genres of the time 😀
They were once so structurally massive, intimidating, and seemingly indestructible. But knowing how they sank away into nothing on that day, one can’t help but look at them in hindsight and think they appear somehow so vulnerable, even fragile…almost like they were always just figments of our imagination.
RIP World Trade Center 1973-2001
It Existed for 28 Years
😊
@@amMa-eo2zhur happy because of 9/11???
what is wrong with you
16:43 its very hard to believe this image was taken at 8:30AM on 9/11. It looked like it was gonna be another good day but 16 minutes later, it all came crashing down.
Wonderful photos and music!
Beautiful Video. Thank you 😊
i feel like we should have just built the towers the same, just plane proof.
Edit: Its not a joke I'm being serious....
But with one difference, built them one floor higher than original. A big middle finger to the terrorists "we come back taller"
I mean they were plane proof under reasonable circumstances for planes that existed in the 1970s. They only anticipated accident crashes at low speed with low fuel lost in the fog not full of fuel at full speed with more fuel
I agree. I miss the twin towers. The city skyline is just not the same 😢
I don’t like tall buildings. There is just no way for people to get out quickly when they are way up top
Bruh💀
2:58 the shadow of the bird was kind of strange..like some sort of omen.
Greetings from western Massachusetts, my heart broke that day and still is. I used to love to visit NewYork and went up to the observation deck inside and took the escalator to the roof, there was nothing like it. Beautiful scenery, especially at night with the city and the bridges all lit up. I haven’t been back to Manhattan since. Bring a Yankees fan, I can only bring myself to go as far as the Bronx. My friends and family say I should go back to the sight, but I’d probably lose it emotionally. I can’t imagine being a New Yorker and having to witness a part of my city destroyed😢 I often think of those poor lives that were lost in those towers. Those who’ve never visited those buildings have no idea how high and how large they were. Videos and tv don’t do them justice. 😢❤️🙏🏻
I am Brazilian. In 2001, when I was 10 years old, I saw the news in the newspaper without paying much attention. I'm struck by the grandeur of New York and its towers. feel happy, you saw all this up close. The United States is a great country.
western masshole here too! and it’s cool you were able to make a visit to the towers before the tragedy. i wasn’t even born when it happened, yet im so fascinated with the WTC and always have dreams of being there and what it looked like being so high above the city. such a shame
Thank you for making this. ❤
Its so sad when i watch these videos since i am a new yorker
Lovely choice of music, really like that one towards the end...
"hit me baby one more time" ☠️
😔😔😔
wtc: acc take that back i dont mean it! plane: KABOOM. wtc: oops
@@hayleyb1981💀💀
Literally the worst song the could pick for this subject🤦🏾
the saddest thing is that in 1993 the world trade center was bombed
9:10 never seen wtc7 under construction before
Two twins, missing from the skyline..
Knowing what happened is awful 😭 but in 2001 I was a baby young to comprehend what was happening my condolences to anyone that lost someone on 9/11 may all those wonderful rest in peace
Picking a Britney Spears song was perfect for this. Both her and these buildings are a WRECK.
Glad you put the pics in chronological order this time.
Kind of wish you used the original music from the first video though, it would have been nice to hear the full song.
Man I wish we still have the twin towers today it's so iconic that it is the first building in the history of human kind to have hundred of floors and nobody can take that from the WTC 1 and 2.
The first ever tower to have 100+ floors was the Empire state, completed 1931 after 13 months of construction, at 102 floors
What a great evolution the Twin Towers suffer in 2000's
2000s millenium & decade.
That huge empty space in the skyline after the collapse of the twin towers made it even harder for some people to heal after 9/11, especially the people of New York, so I'm really glad that the Freedom Tower was built and that it was able to fill a little bit of that void -- in the sky and in their hearts -- ultimately helping people continue to heal and move forward.
Some amazingly candid pics of the construction 🏗️. They were incidental at the time, but real capsules now (and a couplw were well framed too 🎞️)
wonderfull pictures...thank you for show us
Wonderful photos always find it fascinating it was built in the 70s and super quick too
Just effing incredible photos. Most beautiful sky scrapers ever made.
A lot of people are saying that we should’ve built the old towers, the same way they were but I think we should’ve built the old towers and a new tower. In my perfect world, the freedom tower would be there alongside the twin towers.
You have a good taste in music
The best skyline that ever existed. ___ I I__
I especially like the moment when the World Financial Center is build in the 80s.
It's just a perfect match to the Twins.
I miss those towers 🙏🏼
5:38, I want to set it as my background so bad
Man this is the greatest Timelapse of the twin towers and the choice of music damn near had me 😢 up
The 80s was everything
The music in the background for the 70s is really good
I've been looking for this video, and I finally found it
I like how in 16:40 is just peaceful and then *SECOND PLANE ABOUT TO HIT THE SOUTH TOWER*
U mean 16:47 lolz😅
Goodbye twin towers😢😢
I may be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that the photo at 4:02 was taken from the "Fresh Kills" salvage yard (yeah, that was it's name) where they ultimately brought the debris from the towers after their collapse.
14:10 I was already going to comment on how striking they were this time and, only at almost the end of the video, I was able to see them like that.
Awesome 👏 clips
This just goes to show that nothing on this earth lasts forever!😢
Ty for putting on Mj
thx a lot man, great video, NYC is never be the same without them 😥
Just seeing the towers in this video with the majestic photos, and then in just 2 frames...they're gone. Really puts in perspective how much stuff happened in just one morning.
Not sure if Brittany's Hit Me Baby One More Time was a good song choice..
“ hit me baby one more time “ 💀
Been to NYC in 2017 for the first time. Wish I could have seen the towers in the skyline. But well, was not the plan as it seems.
Beautiful design
Video fantastico!
amazing video
It’s sad how evil people are to take down these 2 huge buildings with thousands of people in them, all the innocent people just trying to live their lives in those buildings.
Там не жили
@@xzbroybut they worked there….
"Hit me baby one more time" 💀
So many photos are portrait modes pasted over landscape. Makes making sense of what you're looking at difficult.
Year 2000's soundtrack was a small pain to listen to.
The builders: “Years of my work gone. Gone by a plane”
Why did I find this Hilarious?
9:45 President Reagan, VP Bush, and Gorbachev. Gotta love it. Reagan was the maestro. Classic 80s.
But Gorbachev was vile
the 90's song 💀
shame you didn't put the very last picture of the night lights shinning up into the sky where the towers once stood....my heart broke to watching the clips when we built this city song came on.. This was put together beautifully thanks for sharing ..
Thank you so much! I know in this video I didn't put the lights shinning up at the end but on my "Twin Towers in the 2000s" I did put a picture of the light beams at the end. I agree the 1980s with We Built This City is one of my favorite decades and song ever. Thank you once again for the positive comment ❤️
Life comes crashing down fast. You can be standing tall and then, boom, it's all over in a second.
Hey Yo, How's it going bro? What's new in your world? I was born in 2000, but I will never forget those buildings because they were a symbol of New York in my favorite times (70s, 80s and 90s). Yeah, They were the most beautiful buildings in the world and I think that old is beautiful. Thank you so much for this video, This video is definitely worth watching, I really appreciate it. 🏢🏢🙂🙂😢👍
Hit me baby, 1 more time...and it even has the sound of an engine in the song.
Such a unique structures
I like how on the 9/11 clips there’s happy music playing💀
forever isn’t a happy song btw
they were so beatiful
Que tiste!!!! 😪 como se llama la ultima cancion por favor🙏
In the early 90's when i was no longer a teenager i rented my first nice apartment so i bought a large poster that was 2 feet high and 5 feet wide for wall art . It was the NYC skyline at sunset taken from across the hudson river. Beautiful pinks and purples glimmer on the water showcasing the twin towers. I had the paper poster mounted on 1/4 inch corrugated plastic board a couple years later to preserve it from all the push pin holes it accumulated. I stopped hanging it after. Whether or not i hang it back up sometime in the future is uncertain but it will be in my possession forever...
