Lucky not many saw the other video that someone recorded, and somehow it got deleted from all over the internet, where a guy record the plaza during 911, very closer to the building , and catched two peoples falling into the recording while this song played, and there is a other one recording that is still somwhere on the youtube, where someone recorded the plaza, this song plays, and you can hear the bodies hitting stuff.
@@lioninguccisuit Is it the video where you can already see people who have fallen and witness one hit the stage that was in the plaza at the time? You can't see it in immense detail, but you know what you're looking at and it definitely sits in my memory as one of the worst things I've seen.
It's going to get much worse bud, for nearly everyone. In the grand scheme of things, not much has happened between 1990 and 2020. The 20's though, oh boy. Get ready.
I know. It's Ironic how that moment in time played out. I couldn't Imagine: It's almost like your looking around at people's blank stares and saying to yourself. OK WHAT DO I DO NOW? RIP to everyone who lost there lives on 9/11/01 : (Gone But Never Forgotten ) 😔
It's still a huge controversy whether the band played Nearer, My God, To Thee or Songe D'Autumne, but most likely NMGTT bc of how most survivors recalled the melody more.
I spent a lot of time in New York in the summer of 2001. I was a child then, but I remember a great deal of it. My uncle was a prominent businessman who owned a chain of fur salons - one of them in the garment district of Manhattan. When he wasn't working, he was with us. I remember going to Windows on the World with him and the family a number of times. I stood on top of the South Tower and thought how strange it was that the helicopters were flying below us down the Hudson. And I remember standing in the Plaza, looking up at these two imposing giants, and the feeling of smallness that invoked. I was there a week before it all happened, and my mother took some of the last photos of the old WTC ever taken before the attacks. On the 9th of September, we left New York, and two days later the entire world changed forever. Remembering it doesn't even feel like a different time, but a different dimension.
@ there are, theres only 1 video of a jumpers impact tho very far from the camera, theres videos where you can hear them, but not see them. thats the haunting part.
What makes this rendition more eerie to me is this is very much a product of the late 90s/early 2000s. This style of music with the clarinet, acoustic guitar strumming and the bass guitar, it’s a snapshot in time of that time period’s music (think Kenny G). It just feels like a lost time that we’ll never go back to, just reminisce on.
Imagine your on the 109th floor, smoke reaching your floor, you went up thinking a helicopter for rescue would arrive, but none did, you look down to see the WTC Plaza and you have no hope of survival, you have 2 options, jump or burn, you picked jump, and you recall hearing this song when you first entered the plaza and you think of the song as you fall to your death
Several helicopters circled the buildings waiting to attempt a rescue, but the roof was inaccessible in both of the towers because the doors were locked. There were at least 4 helicopters circling the north tower alone, 1 of them even appears to attempt a landing, but there wasn’t anyone on the roof to rescue.
Thank you so much for uploading the same version played during the attacks. RIP to all the victims. RIP to Kevin Cosgrove and Melissa Doi whose voices and pictures are always stick to my mind.

I love this song which sucks because now I can't listen to it without thinking of how it played in the plaza so innocently while people were literally dying around it
1.35 million people die in car accidents every year. That’s one person every 24 seconds. It’s difficult to imagine how many people have died listening to the most popular songs on the radio. If death ruins music, I have no idea what would be left to listen to.
@@Rosswellian That's true. However, 9/11 has a different effect. It's surreal to think that this song was playing while ONE EVENT was occurring that led to thousands of fatalities. Also, this song is special in the fact that it is part of one of the largest Lost Media searches in the community's history.
@@DisasterC3ntral well said. Surreal is definitely one of the best ways to describe hearing it in Jack’s infamous footage from that day. So in that sense, I totally agree, it certainly changes the way that I listen to it.
RIP to all the victims of that awful day. I’ve never been able to think of this song without connecting it to those events, as much as I want to disconnect it, I can’t.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who was intrigued by this when it was first aired. It's still eerily comforting hearing it now, but the way i felt back then was, life goes on? Everything is broken, but the music still works? Idk just a few things i remember thinking back then. Thanks for finding this.
As for this music, it's like a mix of "depressing/sad" nostalgia (even though i've never heard of this piece before), eerieness because of the key change at 0:55 to 1:27, and all of that in the context of it playing at the WTC plaza while the towers burn and people fall to their fates just haunts my soul. I wasn't born to witness 9/11, I was only born 6 years after the tragedy in 2007 AND I was born in the UK and still living here. However, I can recall having a clear vision or dream about the USA in some sort of link to this, I was like 4 at the time I think, this was around 2011? though I was only an extremely young toddler at the time, I remember it so vividly. Nowadays, In the past 10 months - I've grown this odd curiousity out of thin air to understand fully what's happened on that september morning, I don't know what it is that's sparked my interest so much but the whole link from me knowing something about the US back in 2011 as a clueless child and thinking about it growing up ever since has always given me the worries. Any conspiracies?
Conspiracies? Bro I never touched 911 content coz there has ALWAYS been conspiracies. It's only when I watched these first person perspectives of the events that I learned the side of it that gets suppressed. All I can say is , people only use 911 as an excuse to be racist and islamophobic, so it's hard to find good sources to learn. There are conspiracies but you'd need to learn history pre 911 and post 911.
The 9/11 attacks happened largely because the islamic leader Osama Bin Laden felt that the American military in Saudi Arabia invaded on islamic territory, and because he disliked America's support of Israel. This made him plan out a series of attacks on America as a form of revenge, and this was carried out by a group of islamic terrorists who hijacked several planes by storming the cockpits and killing the pilots. Airports before 9/11 had extremely relaxed security compared to today, and they essentially only involved very quick scans with metal detectors (the travellers didn't even need to take off their shoes or jackets or anything), as well as brief checks for actual weapons (in other words, guns, bombs and that kind of stuff), so it was very common for travellers to only spend a few seconds at the security checks, some airports even did _sample_ checks, where they picked random travellers! The terrorists brought box cutters onto the planes, which were actually allowed as hand baggage back then, and cockpits back then were typically unlocked, and sometimes even visibly open, so the terrorists could easily enter the cockpits. Also, the TSA didn't exist back then; the security personnel consisted of hired people from various companies.
I hope someone out there stumbles across this one day not knowing the by chance pain associated with it. And if you are that someone, leave well enough alone. You will never be able to know this song the same ever again.
The video of this song playing in the plaza is heartbreaking in a way that no other 9/11 footage is. To me Billy Joel always felt like one of those artists that defined the heart and soul of 20th century America. And to hear such a mellow rendition of this song among all the chaos… it felt like the world we knew was saying goodbye one last time.
This was playing during such a tremendous disaster where people were falling to their deaths and they were literally listening to this during their final moments. It went lost and unknown for 20+ years. The history behind this song is insane
This is what the world trade center really is ❤ The World Trade Center literally had their own musical versions of songs. That's authentic, and it's love.
Well it wasn’t their own versions, it was Muzak, or “elevator music” it played in other places, but yeah, I could never hear any of these and think of anything else
Gosh clicking on this reminds me so much of the video of that dreadful day looking out from under the canopy whilst this played and debris and bodies rained down 🥺
She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies And she only reveals what she wants you to see She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you She can ask for the truth but she'll never believe you And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free Yeah, she steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants She's ahead of her time Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in She just changes her mind And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants She's ahead of her time Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in She just changes her mind She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel But she can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree And the most she will do is throw shadows at you But she's always a woman to me Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Fact: After the towers colapse only 2 - 4 speakers stills working and still playing music like 2 hours more. This is the song played after the towers collapse but the true final song played was "Till There Was You" this:ua-cam.com/video/XWBwMgQn10k/v-deo.html
@@lioninguccisuitI'd say it is, the Titanic was just a freak accident while 9/11 was a deliberate attack, so all these people in the towers were essentially murdered
If you're interested in 9/11 there are a couple of good UA-cam channels with incredible footage. There's a channel called "EnhancedWTCVideos" which has lots of high quality footage and there's another channel called "911AnalysisVideo" which uploads rare footage. I'm guessing it's more difficult to find information about 9/11 when you're searching in Japanese due to all the video titles and resources being written in English. So if you would like help finding information or footage, I could probably help you.
Thx for the song! , I think this one totally represents that sad day, in memory for those who died and listened this song in that devil morning.... I wish in the other life they have great life and no terrorist bad luck and if they can hear I beautiful song that wouldn't represent that day
not even going to lie.. this probably hands down the most eeriest shit i’ve ever heard that can’t top any horror movie theme. it’s the fact that it’s purpose wasn’t even to be scary at all, but knowing people fell to their deaths and there is a handful of people that possibly where Conscious and this is the last thing they ever heard… beyond horrible. it’s the realism and the fact that this even happened that’s terrifying to me.
I’ve watched some of the footage many times already as the years have passed and I never thought I would ever know the name of this song playing in some of that footage, I’m greatly thankful for being able to listen to this in its entirety.
I'm sure most people came here after seeing the footage of someone in the plaza panning up at the towers with this exact song playing in the background during the event.
This and the rest of songs of the plaza have a very strong eerie aura, it was still playing like nothing happens and probably the last thing jumpers heard before touching the ground...
I remember being at the WTC) I am 9 years old and my father and I go up to the observatory and admire New York, it was 2 weeks before the terrorist attack, we also saw how the first and second aircraft crashed into the tower
Probablemente lo que sintieron en un principio fue que sin pensarlo saltaron porque probablemente iban a morir quemados y mientras caían sintieron mucha adrenalina como cuándo te subes a un juego mecánico pero ellos debieron sentirlo peor y tal vez mientras caian debieron haber recordado toda su vida en unos segundos o tal vez vieron el cielo u otras cosas si no miraron hacia arriba y tener la mente en blanco, luego mientras se acercaban a la plaza debieron haber escuchado la música por 1 segundo y de repente lo que nadie quiere pensar
No llegaron a escuchar la música, se demsmayaban a media caída por la presión que generaba la caída, almenos pudieron pensar en sus familias por un momento :(
Years ago I was researching footage of 9/11 and came across Jack Talliercios video he shot in the Plaza right after the attacks and heard this song playing in the background. It was a shocking contrast between this beautiful Billy Joel song and all Hell that was taking place. She's Always A Woman was and still is favorite song but I can't help but remember the awful events of that day.
Still ridiculous that theese songs were on autoplay while the towers were struck and collapsed over time It actually makes things more grim Bc nobody was expecting to die Almost nobody ever is Especially those in N/S wtc For honour my fallen brothers and sisters May we carry your names through life untill the end of time for all.
I think that this song is for 9/11 the same that nearer my god to thee for the titanic. Truly a beautiful piece of music that accompanies a terrible tragedy.
I saw a video footage of two videographers that were there that day. You can hear the bodies crashing against the pavement, a disgusting and horrendous sound, while in the background this music is playing. Now everytime I listen to the songs, or the instrumental of the songs; it it makes me feel ill
after reading about this music playing at the world trade center on 9/11 honestly brings tears up. I am sorry you had to go through this. I meanwhile also think about the October 7th events, and it is awful to imagine what all the poor victims of terror went through. It truly is saddening.
While listening to this, I can’t help but imagine a similar moment in the Bonaire shopping center in Valencia while the water was flooding in last October 29th. It’s surreal, almost haunting, how the calm music contrasts with the chaos and danger.
No, I don't think so. I've seen where a couple of people who've seen it said that "how deep is your love" was playing. This music was playing Jack Taliercio's footage, which at first was thought to be lol superman.
I’m so glad I’ve found this i was born in 2008 and have always been so interested in 9/11 and before I’ve found this song I’m been humming it since I was little I’ve done multiple reading(tarot cards, etc.)never got a clear answer on why I knew the song and why I’m so interested in 9/11. I guess I’ll never know
What if I tell you, in your previous life, you were one of the plane hijackers and that's why you're so interested in 9/11 and randomly humming this song for no reason.
Same thing with me, I started getting these random tunes months before i started studying 9-11, once i heard these songs played during 9-11 my heart dropped
Look up the dancing israelies, 5 of them were detained in New Jersey for celebrating and dancing before the first plane hit, and they were seen on top of their employer's roof also dancing and celebrating.
Crying is a sign of empathy. Even if you're not intimate enough with the people to let them see your tears, you need to know your heart. Not crying only hurts more.
Some people say this sounds beautiful and its sad but it just sounds terrifying to me, that clip of the people jumping and this playing just looked like a surreal scary dream and re listening to this now knowing some people 2 seconds before dying heard this song just puts me in a uneasy feeling. 9/11 was devastating and heartbreaking but some aspects of it is truly scary like a horror movie... Rest in peace to all those people that died
@@TwilightZorana-210hbzso eerie, something so innocent sounding just being played during a horrible event, one that changed the world forever nonetheless! Why didn’t the antenna stop receiving signal for the speakers to work after it was hit..? It’s just a shame, maybe this would play at the WTC plaza nowadays if the songs stopped when the North Tower got hit…
Ahora imagina casi 59 años después, unos soldados liderados probablemente por la península coreana en la parte norte muy probablemente, y cuando les muestras tu fecha de nacimiento, te arrebatan la vida injustamente por ser un “recordatorio constante/permanente” de tales acontecimientos pasados de este mismo siglo y ahora tu también dejas ese espacio blanco a largo plazo

I have a weird new habit... I doubt anyone's gonna see this comment or pay much mind to it, but whenever something in life upsets me, like the loss of a friendship, work stress, or unrequited love, I come back to 9/11 content. I don't know why, but it always motivates me to try to live my life in ways that I still can instead of staying stuck on what I can't have. I guess it's because I think of all the people who suddenly had their lives taken from them so suddenly. Yeah.

Could someone explain to me why these songs are playing randomly during the day? Did the Plaza always have a playlist that played 24/7? Or was there a concert scheduled for later? Did someone manually put this music on, or was the playlist automatic? There’s such a strange aura.
The plaza plays background music. Think Disneyland, there’s always background music playing. The new WTC mall plays background music too, it’s constantly on.
I remember I saw the old shock video lol superman. Well I remember the video pretty well but I always a ys wonderd what the song was. It gives a sense of not being a normal day. I'm glad I found it. Now I just need to find the video to prove I'm not nuts.

Such a peaceful song played on such a tragic event. Same with the Titanic disaster. The musicians played Nearer my god to Thee as the ship went down.
Nah it's just in the movie. In reality, they played "Auld Lang Syne." Which is, 100 times more eerily than "Nearer My God To Thee"
Nooo. They played Songe D’Autumne last, but it wasn’t played in entirety
It's still a huge controversy whether the band played Nearer, My God, To Thee or Songe D'Autumne, but most likely NMGTT bc of how most survivors recalled the melody more.

RIP to all the victims of that awful day. I’ve never been able to think of this song without connecting it to those events, as much as I want to disconnect it, I can’t.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who was intrigued by this when it was first aired. It's still eerily comforting hearing it now, but the way i felt back then was, life goes on? Everything is broken, but the music still works? Idk just a few things i remember thinking back then. Thanks for finding this.
I have thought the same thing
Wait, they aired footage filmed from the plaza while the towers stood but burned?? I wasn't born then, sorry.
As for this music, it's like a mix of "depressing/sad" nostalgia (even though i've never heard of this piece before), eerieness because of the key change at 0:55 to 1:27, and all of that in the context of it playing at the WTC plaza while the towers burn and people fall to their fates just haunts my soul.
I wasn't born to witness 9/11, I was only born 6 years after the tragedy in 2007 AND I was born in the UK and still living here. However, I can recall having a clear vision or dream about the USA in some sort of link to this, I was like 4 at the time I think, this was around 2011? though I was only an extremely young toddler at the time, I remember it so vividly.
Nowadays, In the past 10 months - I've grown this odd curiousity out of thin air to understand fully what's happened on that september morning, I don't know what it is that's sparked my interest so much but the whole link from me knowing something about the US back in 2011 as a clueless child and thinking about it growing up ever since has always given me the worries.
Any conspiracies?
Conspiracies? Bro I never touched 911 content coz there has ALWAYS been conspiracies. It's only when I watched these first person perspectives of the events that I learned the side of it that gets suppressed. All I can say is , people only use 911 as an excuse to be racist and islamophobic, so it's hard to find good sources to learn.
There are conspiracies but you'd need to learn history pre 911 and post 911.
The 9/11 attacks happened largely because the islamic leader Osama Bin Laden felt that the American military in Saudi Arabia invaded on islamic territory, and because he disliked America's support of Israel.
This made him plan out a series of attacks on America as a form of revenge, and this was carried out by a group of islamic terrorists who hijacked several planes by storming the cockpits and killing the pilots.
Airports before 9/11 had extremely relaxed security compared to today, and they essentially only involved very quick scans with metal detectors (the travellers didn't even need to take off their shoes or jackets or anything), as well as brief checks for actual weapons (in other words, guns, bombs and that kind of stuff), so it was very common for travellers to only spend a few seconds at the security checks,
some airports even did _sample_ checks, where they picked random travellers!
The terrorists brought box cutters onto the planes, which were actually allowed as hand baggage back then, and cockpits back then were typically unlocked, and sometimes even visibly open, so the terrorists could easily enter the cockpits.
Also, the TSA didn't exist back then;
the security personnel consisted of hired people from various companies.
the fact this played during such a horrible event.
the beautiful music, the horrible tragedy.
Incredible you guys found it! It’s eerily gorgeous.
Thank you for creating this channel. It’s great to have all of the plaza music in one place in HD.
I hope someone out there stumbles across this one day not knowing the by chance pain associated with it.
And if you are that someone, leave well enough alone. You will never be able to know this song the same ever again.
In every tragedy, the music keeps playing, and I find that symbolic in a way. Signifying that we can still go on even if we are broken by sadness.
The video of this song playing in the plaza is heartbreaking in a way that no other 9/11 footage is. To me Billy Joel always felt like one of those artists that defined the heart and soul of 20th century America. And to hear such a mellow rendition of this song among all the chaos… it felt like the world we knew was saying goodbye one last time.
This was playing during such a tremendous disaster where people were falling to their deaths and they were literally listening to this during their final moments. It went lost and unknown for 20+ years. The history behind this song is insane
This is what the world trade center really is ❤ The World Trade Center literally had their own musical versions of songs. That's authentic, and it's love.
Well it wasn’t their own versions, it was Muzak, or “elevator music” it played in other places, but yeah, I could never hear any of these and think of anything else
@@mizalcor Ah fair enough. I assumed this version was made for the WTC plaza. Fair enough.
0:48 made be cry.
Gosh clicking on this reminds me so much of the video of that dreadful day looking out from under the canopy whilst this played and debris and bodies rained down 🥺
She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth but she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
But she can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
It gives chills in the worst way possible.
Fact: After the towers colapse only 2 - 4 speakers stills working and still playing music like 2 hours more. This is the song played after the towers collapse but the true final song played was "Till There Was You" this:ua-cam.com/video/XWBwMgQn10k/v-deo.html
sauce?
@@themastermindwithahat607 what kind
Do you have a source on that? That sounds very interesting.
the complex lost power when the south tower collapsed
It's like listening to the band play the final song on Titanic before the lights go out and the ship breaks apart
i feel like WTC story is way worse than Titanic, even if we can't compare because we only die once.
@@lioninguccisuitI'd say it is, the Titanic was just a freak accident while 9/11 was a deliberate attack, so all these people in the towers were essentially murdered
私は今までそこまで同時多発テロについて知りませんでした。
ある日、ネットでたまたま9.11テロの記事にたどり着き、そこから調べて見ましたが、本当に悲惨な事故ですね…
この曲を聞くと、私が見た人が飛び下りる映像を思い出します。
私がこの事件を体験したわけではありませんが、それでもこの曲を聞くと涙が出てきます。
この事件で被災した方にご冥福をお祈りします。
If you're interested in 9/11 there are a couple of good UA-cam channels with incredible footage.
There's a channel called "EnhancedWTCVideos" which has lots of high quality footage and there's another channel called "911AnalysisVideo" which uploads rare footage.
I'm guessing it's more difficult to find information about 9/11 when you're searching in Japanese due to all the video titles and resources being written in English. So if you would like help finding information or footage, I could probably help you.
@@Dushmann_more Depressed Ginger
i’m obsessed with this track
Both towers on fire while this song is playing
That's sad
Its oddly poetic to have had this song playing during 9/11 while the buildings were burning, like how would the power to the speakers stay on?
World trade centre was a complex with several other buildings.
love the old trade centre logo with the 2 towers !!
Thx for the song! , I think this one totally represents that sad day, in memory for those who died and listened this song in that devil morning.... I wish in the other life they have great life and no terrorist bad luck and if they can hear I beautiful song that wouldn't represent that day
The end of an era.....
officially the end of the nineties...
My kids always pointed out how haunting and creepy this music was after everything that happened😢
Quien no ha visto ese tenebroso vídeo en donde esta misma melodía persiste aún mientras las torres humeantes ya se caían a pedazos?
Sadly, yes. It’s a bit disturbing.
Así es amigo dios nos libre
Toda la razón y lo más curioso es que brincaban sin zapatos que verían o sentirían para tomar esa decisión
@@royjones2625 lo que nosotros o otros no vivieron en esos pisos en llamas, ellos lo vivieron

The sounds of bodies hitting da floor is scary
Loud thuds just... sad
not even going to lie.. this probably hands down the most eeriest shit i’ve ever heard that can’t top any horror movie theme. it’s the fact that it’s purpose wasn’t even to be scary at all, but knowing people fell to their deaths and there is a handful of people that possibly where Conscious and this is the last thing they ever heard… beyond horrible. it’s the realism and the fact that this even happened that’s terrifying to me.
I’ve watched some of the footage many times already as the years have passed and I never thought I would ever know the name of this song playing in some of that footage, I’m greatly thankful for being able to listen to this in its entirety.
I'm sure most people came here after seeing the footage of someone in the plaza panning up at the towers with this exact song playing in the background during the event.
This song has been stuck in my head for the last two months, from the moment I heard it for the first time....
Yes
Yeah 😢
This was the last song played before the tower 2 colapse ☹️
This and the rest of songs of the plaza have a very strong eerie aura, it was still playing like nothing happens and probably the last thing jumpers heard before touching the ground...
A beutiful song in a worst moment of world....
I remember being at the WTC) I am 9 years old and my father and I go up to the observatory and admire New York, it was 2 weeks before the terrorist attack, we also saw how the first and second aircraft crashed into the tower
truly magnificent
I can't get the sound of debris and bodies hitting the floor out of my head when I listen to this.
Pretty dark. Even captures the somber feeling
La piel de gallina que tendría si suena esta canción mientras tomo un ascensor..
Probablemente lo que sintieron en un principio fue que sin pensarlo saltaron porque probablemente iban a morir quemados y mientras caían sintieron mucha adrenalina como cuándo te subes a un juego mecánico pero ellos debieron sentirlo peor y tal vez mientras caian debieron haber recordado toda su vida en unos segundos o tal vez vieron el cielo u otras cosas si no miraron hacia arriba y tener la mente en blanco, luego mientras se acercaban a la plaza debieron haber escuchado la música por 1 segundo y de repente lo que nadie quiere pensar
No llegaron a escuchar la música, se demsmayaban a media caída por la presión que generaba la caída, almenos pudieron pensar en sus familias por un momento :(
Years ago I was researching footage of 9/11 and came across Jack Talliercios video he shot in the Plaza right after the attacks and heard this song playing in the background. It was a shocking contrast between this beautiful Billy Joel song and all Hell that was taking place. She's Always A Woman was and still is favorite song but I can't help but remember the awful events of that day.
THIS makes me cry
This song gives me a feeling I never had.
*This Song last time played 9.59 AM September 11 2001...*
Peace among chaos and disaster
What’s the process of finding plaza music that’s been sitting around for 20+ years?
Environmental Muzak CDs from the 90s.
And the fact this song is playing on the plaza during 911 just chills down my spine
Still ridiculous that theese songs were on autoplay while the towers were struck and collapsed over time
It actually makes things more grim
Bc nobody was expecting to die
Almost nobody ever is
Especially those in N/S wtc
For honour my fallen brothers and sisters
May we carry your names through life untill the end of time for all.
I think that this song is for 9/11 the same that nearer my god to thee for the titanic. Truly a beautiful piece of music that accompanies a terrible tragedy.
this banger was playing meanwhile people were banging their heads to the ground from fall damage
Tragedy aside, this is actually a really good cover
Honestly this is the best version of she’s always a woman
this is just so creepy like even with out knowing what happened...
I think it sound’s beutiful
@@timothyma3135he just finds it creepy since this song was playing after both towers were hit by the planes
this song with people smacking against the floor was wild
Somehow this upbeat joyful songs adds to the chaos and destruction in a haunting way, compatible like a yin and yang.
The body slam still haunts me 😢
I saw a video footage of two videographers that were there that day. You can hear the bodies crashing against the pavement, a disgusting and horrendous sound, while in the background this music is playing. Now everytime I listen to the songs, or the instrumental of the songs; it it makes me feel ill
after reading about this music playing at the world trade center on 9/11 honestly brings tears up. I am sorry you had to go through this. I meanwhile also think about the October 7th events, and it is awful to imagine what all the poor victims of terror went through. It truly is saddening.
My friend John worked in the north tower and he saddly didnt make it. May he and all the people who died that day rest in peace💔
While listening to this, I can’t help but imagine a similar moment in the Bonaire shopping center in Valencia while the water was flooding in last October 29th. It’s surreal, almost haunting, how the calm music contrasts with the chaos and danger.
so this is the audio of the song played in the video "LOL SUPERMAN"?
Indeed.
No, I don't think so. I've seen where a couple of people who've seen it said that "how deep is your love" was playing. This music was playing Jack Taliercio's footage, which at first was thought to be lol superman.
@@Bald_Cat2007lol Superman will never be found if it is really real
YES IS LOL SUPERMAN👀👀👀
This song makes me cry
I’m so glad I’ve found this i was born in 2008 and have always been so interested in 9/11 and before I’ve found this song I’m been humming it since I was little I’ve done multiple reading(tarot cards, etc.)never got a clear answer on why I knew the song and why I’m so interested in 9/11. I guess I’ll never know
Maybe you lived it in your previous life
What if I tell you, in your previous life, you were one of the plane hijackers and that's why you're so interested in 9/11 and randomly humming this song for no reason.
Same thing with me, I started getting these random tunes months before i started studying 9-11, once i heard these songs played during 9-11 my heart dropped
Oh, another hijacker.
Look up the dancing israelies, 5 of them were detained in New Jersey for celebrating and dancing before the first plane hit, and they were seen on top of their employer's roof also dancing and celebrating.
21 years wow
This song traumatized me when i was 15 cause my freind send me a video of the lol Superman but i only seen it for like a Milisecond
You’re thinking of the Jack Talierico footage which is as far as we know not the same thing as “lol superman” (even if it exists)
@@sergeantdornan4386 maybe i Heard it wrong cuz its for a milisecind and i hear the trumpet similar to this video a little
I’d give anything to be alive in the 80’s just so I can have a chance to go to the twin towers
I'm listening to this in the car, trying to hold my tears and not let my mom see me as a weak man
Crying is a sign of strength my friend
Crying is a sign of empathy. Even if you're not intimate enough with the people to let them see your tears, you need to know your heart. Not crying only hurts more.
Some people say this sounds beautiful and its sad but it just sounds terrifying to me, that clip of the people jumping and this playing just looked like a surreal scary dream and re listening to this now knowing some people 2 seconds before dying heard this song just puts me in a uneasy feeling. 9/11 was devastating and heartbreaking but some aspects of it is truly scary like a horror movie... Rest in peace to all those people that died
Que descansen en paz todas las víctimas del 9/11 por lo menos están en un lugar mejor
Y todos los fallecidos por corona virus
한순간에 장송곡이 되어버린... 😢
My friends: its just a song from the plaza
Me: 😟
Bro 1:30 sounds like it came straight out of Toy Story! 🤔
SAME
@@TwilightZorana-210hbzso eerie, something so innocent sounding just being played during a horrible event, one that changed the world forever nonetheless! Why didn’t the antenna stop receiving signal for the speakers to work after it was hit..? It’s just a shame, maybe this would play at the WTC plaza nowadays if the songs stopped when the North Tower got hit…
is this on clarinet?
Yes
I've seen the video this haunts me
Imagínate caer ver todo lentamente pero escuchar esta musica a su velocidad original mientras estas más cerca del suelo hasta dejar de oir todo.
Ahora imagina casi 59 años después, unos soldados liderados probablemente por la península coreana en la parte norte muy probablemente, y cuando les muestras tu fecha de nacimiento, te arrebatan la vida injustamente por ser un “recordatorio constante/permanente” de tales acontecimientos pasados de este mismo siglo y ahora tu también dejas ese espacio blanco a largo plazo
Probablemente lo que sintieron en un principio fue que sin pensarlo saltaron porque probablemente iban a morir quemados y mientras caían sintieron mucha adrenalina como cuándo te subes a un juego mecánico pero ellos debieron sentirlo peor y tal vez mientras caian debieron haber recordado toda su vida en unos segundos o tal vez vieron el cielo u otras cosas si no miraron hacia arriba y tener la mente en blanco, luego mientras se acercaban a la plaza debieron haber escuchado la música por 1 segundo y de repente lo que nadie quiere pensar
Not to mention the music and lyrics by New York City's own Billy Joel. ❤
I have a weird new habit... I doubt anyone's gonna see this comment or pay much mind to it, but whenever something in life upsets me, like the loss of a friendship, work stress, or unrequited love, I come back to 9/11 content. I don't know why, but it always motivates me to try to live my life in ways that I still can instead of staying stuck on what I can't have. I guess it's because I think of all the people who suddenly had their lives taken from them so suddenly. Yeah.
Here is your hope returned, someone saw the comment....

musics played when people are dying makes it even worse
I Having Nightmares About The Muzak She Always A Woman I Could Still Hearing The Sound Of Falling Debris And Papers Flying Everywhere And People Jumping Off The Buildings And Sirens Welling It Was My Worst Nightmare Ever 😧
Could someone explain to me why these songs are playing randomly during the day? Did the Plaza always have a playlist that played 24/7? Or was there a concert scheduled for later? Did someone manually put this music on, or was the playlist automatic? There’s such a strange aura.
The WTC plaza had pre existing muzak that played throughout the day. This was on the set list
The plaza plays background music. Think Disneyland, there’s always background music playing. The new WTC mall plays background music too, it’s constantly on.
I remember I saw the old shock video lol superman. Well I remember the video pretty well but I always a ys wonderd what the song was. It gives a sense of not being a normal day. I'm glad I found it. Now I just need to find the video to prove I'm not nuts.
