My girlfriend and I had flown in from the UK to New York, a trip we’d been planning for ages. We were beyond excited, especially because we had tickets to see Michael Jackson at Madison Square Garden on the evening of September 10th. The day had already been amazing-we spent the afternoon walking around Central Park, soaking in the sights and energy of the city. The anticipation for the concert made everything feel electric. Michael Jackson was legendary, and the night turned out to be everything we hoped for and more. The crowd was full of life, and the atmosphere was unforgettable. I remember looking around the arena, surrounded by so many people, all united by the music and the excitement of seeing a star like Jackson perform. In hindsight, I often wonder if some of the faces we saw that night never made it home the next day. The morning of September 11th started like any other, despite the drinks we’d had the night before. We woke up around 7 a.m., grabbed a quick bite, and got a taxi to the ferry that would take us to the Statue of Liberty. It was a beautiful day-clear skies, warm sun-one of those days that feels perfect. We arrived at the docks around 8:30, queuing under a canopy with other tourists, excited for another day of sightseeing. And then, out of nowhere, we heard it. A loud boom, unlike anything we had ever heard before. At first, it didn’t register. People around us were confused, murmuring, and then came the screams. We rushed out from under the canopy and saw it-the North Tower of the World Trade Center, billowing smoke. We stood there, frozen, trying to make sense of what we were seeing. People were speculating, and someone nearby mentioned it might have been a plane. But that didn’t seem possible. The sky was so clear-how could a pilot make such a mistake? We sat on a low wall, still in shock, staring at the towers, and saw people falling. It’s still a sight that haunts me. 15 minutes later, the unthinkable happened again. We heard the deafening roar of another plane. This time, we watched it, as it dove into the South Tower. The chaos that unfolded after was surreal. People were crying, some shouting, others running. Being from the UK we didn’t know what to do. The rest of that day is a blur, filled with sirens, smoke, and the feeling that the world was collapsing around us. We eventually got back to our hotel around 7pm I don’t think Ive ever spoken with so many strangers that day. I’ll never forget the contrast between those two days. September 10th was one of the best days of my life. But September 11th became the worst. It’s a day that’s stayed with me ever since, a day that changed everything, not just for New York but for the entire world. Flying back on that plane though was the worst flight of my life!
Thanks for sharing your memories. I visited NYC in August 2001, and went to the Radio City Music Hall, which showed the dates of upcoming Michael Jackson's concerts as September 7 & 10 respectively. Before that, on some day was Janet Jackson's show as well. Being a Jackson fan, I wanted to attend the show, but I used to work in Connecticut, and it was difficult for me to take a leave, so couldn't. I regret in hindsight. I should have gone as in the end, it turned out to be the last concert of Jackson. However, I also had my DMV appointment for a car license on September 11th. I cleared the test, and was at the DMV when I heard that something horrible has happened at Pentagon. Couple of hours later when I came to my office, I heard that WTC Twin Towers have fallen! I had visited the twin towers just couple of months back. I couldn't believe it. Thus, September 11th, which started on a good note for me, as I was able to get my car license made, ended as a depressing, sad day for me as well. May all those who lost their lives in the tragic events of 9/11 rest in peace.
Thanks for sharing. I'm an Aussie from Sydney, and I was in NYC about 2 years earlier. I watched the NY Rangers vs Calgary Cowboys ice hockey game at Madison Square Garden. Never seen ice hockey before and I loved it! It felt surreal that this poor kid from the Sydney suburbs was there, on the other side of the planet, in New York! I went walking downtown the next day, walked around the Two Towers, marvelling; they were enormous! Down next to the Brooklyn Bridge I happened across a helicopter joy ride service, that took tourists around the city and the Statue of Liberty. I still remember it cost $90, which was a lot of money, but I thought, what the hell, I'll never do this again! So, I got on board, and I got the second seat, up next to the pilot, because I was a single, whilst the other tourists were in the back. Because I was up front I had a headpiece and I could talk to the pilot, who was ex-Norwegian military, and a little bit crazy. I still remember taking off, I expected it to be a sudden woosh but it was like a magic carpet, smooth. We flew all around Manhattan, around the Towers, and again, they were absolutely huge. We then went out to the Statue of Liberty, hovering about 30m in front of the face, it was magical, I'll never forget it. When I saw the Attacks and the Towers fall, it was beyond my comprehension they could fall, and all I could think was, well I guess nobody's ever going to fly around the Statue of Liberty in a helicopter, ever again.
It's hard to believe that less than 24 hours later, everything we saw on this video was destroyed.😢 These people had no idea that they would be some of the LAST visitors to EVER go on top of the South Tower's observation deck.
Even more profound than that... On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 thousands of people were doing exactly what they did every morning of every week. They went to work. Two hours later, thousands would never go home.
The observation deck was still closed early Tuesday morning. These people were among the last to ever walk atop these grand structures. What profound sadness this footage brings me
The Observation Deck never opened in the 11th, the Doors were all chained, so yes 💯 this group was probably one of the Last to go up to the South. I was up there on Sunday the 9th, For the first time ever being in either Tower. I still have Pics from it with my Disposable Camera, But I think they're in Chicago, in my Aunt & husband's garage, which I haven't been on speaking terms with them for a Long While, Sad I would Luuuuv to get those back, If they even still have them.
@@jeanrobert7071 I was supposed to go Sunday the 9th. I went to the Yankees-Sox game with some friends and we decided to make a day of it doing touristy things in Manhattan and we were going to heard down to the WTC but one friend was too scared to go up to the top so we said, "It's fine. We can go another time..." Little did we know.
It's actually so crazy to see that less than 24 hours later, everything changed. This is a gem of a video, it's like a small piece of major history. Thanks for sharing this
Its mindblowing to think that at the same time these people were strolling along and enjoying their afternoon at WTC, other bad people were probably having coffee and snacks and chatting what theyre gonna do tomorrow. I was only a little kid back then but I always remembered the iconic towers from the movies and music videos, I was always saying I will see them when I grow up, I had no idea that I will actually never see them
This thought is chilling. I learned that some of the terrorist stayed at a hotel less than a mile from where I lived. Haunting to think such evil was nearby..
I was 13. I'm from Philly, but I did actually get a chance to see them on a 3rd grade trip to Manhattan to see the CAT theatre play back then. They were large and tall asf in person, and I never actually got close to them. I saw them from like a slight distance from the FDR highway, or from one of those nearby main streets.
September 10th was a wet day with a storm coming over. Not a pleasant afternoon. It was remarked many times by people stating how pleasant the weather on the 11th was compared to the day before.
Yeah, the rain was due to Hurricane Erin. There was a cold front that night that pushed the rest of the rain/clouds away, completely clearing up the morning of 9/11.
The outdoor portion of the observation deck was closed down early due to the incoming storms...so the visitors in this video were probably among the last to ever set foot up there
I used to work in the Trade Center. It still blows my mind that something so monumental was destroyed. I've even been to the new One World Observatory and the 9/11 Museum. But it still doesn't quite seem real. This is pretty epic: the 90's were a largely a good time in America. The Soviet Union fell and we stood alone. 9/11 brought a shocking change to that.
The End of History. It's an era that I, as a child from 2004, am incurably fascinated with. The optimism your generation had, It's something mine longs for.
@derpsternium8334 the 90s/pre 9/11 world was special. Yes, we had problems and crime, but compared to now it seemed trivial. The economy was great, fashion was good and music ruled. It was a different time. 9/11 was "Woke" as the boomers say
@@2abbaking Bonjour de France. J'ai toujours considéré que ce jour funeste a été un tournant dans l'histoire , comme si le Monde ne serait plus jamais comme avant. Ce qui m'inquiète encore, c'est que ces assassins sont toujours prêt à recommencer. Salutations et bonne continuation. 🇺🇲🇫🇷👍
@@derpsternium8334 That's interesting. I had just turned into my twenties in the 1990s. It was the heydey of neo-liberalism, a continuation of the greed is good that really got underway in the 1980s. We used to look back at the 1960s and 1970s as idyllic times, it is interesting how generations do that.
Pretty unbelievable that "Only" ~2,500 of them were killed the next day. Over 2K is still an enormous loss of life and extremely awful, but just think about how bad it really Could have been! So many heroes lost in getting so many people evacuated. :(
I remember the newscasters the next day saying that, and I remember watching it on the news and trying to guess how high the number must be. Thinking 25k people might have died is so wild to think about.
@@NismoFinderIt’s mostly because the planes hit early in the morning, many people hadn’t come to work yet or were on their way to work at the time. The first plane hit at 8:46 a.m. If it had hit closer to noon, the casualties would’ve been way worse.
This is so beautiful. I was born a little over a month after their final day, so I never got to experience them in person. Only recently did I learn about their history and what happened that day, yet I always -- even now -- feel strangely warm and nostalgic when I see them. It's unfortunate I'll never get to see them in person, but videos like these help me get an idea. Thanks!
I commuted through the WTC late that night.....I remember thinking to myself the next morning that where I had just walked through a few hours earlier was now completely destroyed. Such a surreal time.
A big part of me wishes I could be there to warn everyone to evacuate due to the events coming ahead (Edit) It wouldn't be nessasary since nobody would believe me.
Every person who visited that day must have a very unique perspective on 9/11, both as the events unfolded the very next day and the memories they continue to carry with them. Thanks for this amazing video! 👌
This could well be September 10, 2001. At the beginning of the video you can see behind the towers and from the shadows on their surface that the sky was quite cloudy that day.
@misterdog7 That was referring to the clips of him & the female colleague in the beginning. The uploader claims the footage on top of the observation deck was taken 14 hours before the attacks.
I have seen no evidence that the observation deck was closed that day. Worth pointing out that rain was not falling the entire day, but only at certain points.
What is so profoundly horrifying for me as I watched this, especially at the end where they are on top of one of the towers.... my mind could not help see how high up they were and literally visualize how far it was to the ground. And then knowing, on September 11, some chose to jump.
@@thecandyman9308there will always be disrespectful people. I visited the Reflection Pools recently. It was beautiful, quite somber. People were looking at the names and some put a flower by a loved one's name.
I’ve seen the footage of the day it all happened quite a few times but seeing the lady walking about on the top for the first time shows me how big the foot print actually was! The rail from one corner to the other goes on for a long way. Each floor would have been massive
When I watch that film " Escape from New York" with the Twin Towers staring Kirt Russell it blows my mind to think that years later they wouldn't be there anymore scary stuff 😓
Sometimes I wonder about the amount of videos of 9/11 that would exist if smartphones were around in 2001. Videos of people that never got out of those buildings.
I was born on 2003, I've been feeling a fascination for the twin towers and the WTC since I was 10 years old, it's such a shame that they no longer exist, I wonder how would it be like to exist on that era and be able to visit them. The new WTC tower Is not as iconic as the twin towers were
If you believe in reincarnation, it is possible that you may be a new incarnation of one of the people who died on September 11th. Hence this fascination and a kind of longing for towers and their specific style.
Twin towers were the focal point of the NY skyline well before they came down. Living in that era, imagine more people outside optimistic and socially vibrant. There was very little social media, no smartphone zombies, no doomers.
The Twin Towers were an icon of New York and sadly missed. I was on a flight to New York just before the hijacking took place. So my flight got diverted to Shannon Ireland as the plane was halfway across the Atlantic by then.
Thank you deeply for sharing this moment of history with the world. The skyline is the one I knew back when I traveled there. It's all so different. But the Love of New York City holds stronger than ever! Most incredible city on earth!
I can’t imagine how the Empire State felt, losing his younger twins on the next day 😢💔 May all those innocent souls who lost their lives on 9/11 rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏
Someone I know had lunch in the restaurant in one of the towers on the 10th, then flew back to England that evening. She always hoped that the young lad who served her wasn't working that day. RIP to those killed.

Im just glad that now we understand that wheeling a TV infront of a classroom full of 2nd graders and forcing them to watch 9/11 live as it happened and then walk into the hallway for hours until our PE coach rushed in to turn it off after he realized that none of the other teachers knew what they just showed to children and the life long trauma just inflicted upon my class.
Can’t imagine being there on top of WTC the day before it all went down the next morning. That eerie feeling you were that close becoming a memory, unimaginable horrible one. People trapped a 1/4 mile up in the sky had no idea what that day had held for them
I was on holiday in Benidorm when it happened. Before we took our flight, the night before, me and 2 friends were watching some MTV and I'll always remember watching the Limp Bizkit Rollin' video, where they're performing atop the wtc. Its almost like its a clue you could never have deciphered at the time. Weird.
@itsvondell yeah I'd love to know cause I couldn't tellya how many times I've come across 9/11 comments that are just full on lies. It's somehow "a thing" nowadays I guess kids think it's funny to joke about - just pure irreverent foolishness.
@@pre911wtc1 That can't be right.... The man in the video looks exactly the same from the beginning to the end... Same outfit and his hair still looks the same...
When they are on the observation deck the camera picks up the RF interference from the TV and radio transmitters on 1WTC. See ( or better yet "hear") how it changes depending on how the camera is held and therefore the microphone shielded more or less?
The last good, simple day in NYC before everything changed. I’m not saying life in NYC is terrible now, but it’s no question that the world drastically changed after 9/10.
Es terrible lo sucedido y la pérdida de vidas es irreparable pero de eso a que el mundo cambiara es difícil de creer porque incluso los talibanes han regresado a controlar un país sin problema alguno.
In the original video there is a date stamp at the beginning that says 5/9/2001, considering it was recorded by someone from Russia, the date would be September 5th, 2001 which corresponds with the weather forecast as a partly to mostly cloudy day. (source: ПУБЛИКУЕТСЯ ВПЕРВЫЕ / НАША ПОЕЗДКА В АМЕРИКУ)
I remember that day. I was home sick with a never ending case of H2 pylori,bemoaning the irony of not being able to go to the Rutgers game with Cal in NJ that upcoming weekend after I had gone to California to see the two teams play there two years earlier. Then it happened. The game was postponed until late November,at which time I was able to attend.
C'est incroyable et terrible de se dire que certaines personnes, anonymes pour moi, que l'on voit dans cette vidéos vivent leur dernière journée complète et ont disparues le lendemain dans cette tragédie, dans d'effroyables circonstances pour certaines, à cause de la folie des humains... ! Je n'oublierais jamais cette journée ! Une grande pensée pour eux depuis la France ! 💐
Last day of yesterdays world. Just imagine there is possibly time travelers from our distant future there while this is filmed only to observe but not to interfere, you just never realized it.
I use to work there & never considered playing hooky from work until 9/11 at 6 a.m. when I heard it was going to be a "Sweet Summer Day" just like the last song from the "Summer Catch" Soundtrack starring Freddie Prince Jr which I saw just weeks before in the theater! I recently purchased a handy cam & was going to practice using it that day in the mall under the buildings until 3 p.m. when I made plans to meet with someone. Then right around 6:45 a.m. I was going to "call in sick", I changed my mind and left my apt to head for work. Got to the Cortland St. station on the #1 train by 7:25 a.m. with my handy cam but never used it! Saw a homeless man sleeping by the steps just beyond the turn style exit & everyone acting like he was such an nuisance for being in the way as everyone headed to the mall. I reported to work at 7:30 a.m. Then an hour and 15 mins later, the lights at my store had flickered followed by a "loud tremor" sound! Soon that sound was replaced by a woman screaming in horror. Then that sound was replaced by a more frightening sound of people's dress shoes running away from something in all different directions while the cops ran against the crowd with their sticks in their hands! Later, when my coworkers and I evacuated from the mall we realized we were the last ones as we saw businesses leaving their coffee & food behind! I stood in horror when I got out the mall, looked up and saw this massive hole in the North Tower just 50 yards from me! My co-workers and I stood @ Church & Vessey streets watching this until I looked at the South Tower still intact & the time was 8:55. Suddenly a strange feeling came over me & I somehow felt it wasn't safe to stand there anymore so I told my co-workers and we headed east to The South Street Seaport. We never got to see the impact of the second building being struck, but the terrifying incoming "missle like" sound made up for it. We were By Canal St when we heard and saw the first building collapse. Then we were at Prince Street when the 2nd one fell. Later when I got home, my answering machine was flooded with calls including the one I was supposed to meet with who was in tears not knowing if I was alive or not! Feeling haunted by multiple types of sounds, It felt like the longest nightmare of my life!
@@pre911wtc1 Less than a week after 9/11, my manager at work called me and said he wanted to thank me for saving all 7 of us co-workers out of harm's way. First from preventing us from seeing the second building being struck and possibly getting seriously injured by falling debris,. Second, for discouraging some of us who wanted to "return back" to the mall from the South Street Seaport thinking that the fire would be "under control" by the time we walked back there. But because they listened to me when I said we should "walk north and not west" as a result, I prevented all 7 of us from getting any of that toxic cloud of debris on us when the first building collapsed. My manager didn't know whether I was "clairvoyant" or just street smart but he said he was eternally grateful to have someone like me in a situation like that. I didn't "react" to anything that happened that day until I got home and saw it on tv, and that's when it really "hit me hard". I had to walk back to my high rise apt on the upper west side with no one there except for my desktop while Manhattan was on Lock down! It was through America Online later that night that I got instant messaged by multiple strangers who said they read my AOL profile and wanted to know what I saw. The more people I told, the less anxiety I felt so in a way it was like therapy. I'll never forget how everyone in the city came together in the days that followed 9/11. Strangers from all walks of life just coming together and helping each other. It's a shame that sometimes, it has to take a big tragedy for people to come together and be "human". I've had many close calls with fires all through my life, in my building, across the street from my building, on the subway, etc, yet somehow I managed to survive without any serious injuries. Makes you wonder if there's such a thing as having 9 lives or having a guarding angel watching over me.
A lady at the nursing facility I used ro work at had visited the towers and observation deck March or June 2001. Kind of creepy how the last shot on this video was the Statue of Liberty
I remember this Monday afternoon when it was raining really hard. When I was a teenager I used to look outside my window because it was unusually raining with thunderstorm.
How utterly horrifying to see, just one day before, what the victims saw from the windows! I remember that morning, it was a beautiful September morning, before NYC was changed forever!
Also eerie that this footage now has significant historical value even if really mediocre on the day it was recorded. Literally the last full day the towers stood and of the unfortunate souls lost.
It's really scary to think that you're on top of those towers just the day before you could have been on there the next where you would be joining the ride of the collapse
I'm British! So I need to know what the weather was like the week leading up to 9/11. This way you get a much more accurate description of when this was filmed.
what is that for a feeling for the visitors on the next day, sept. 11, knowing you were on the obseravory (?) deck on WTC 24 hours ago? it must be terrible. so sad this tragedy.
Cette vidéo fantôme me fait froid dans le dos. J'ai la phobie et j'ai une horreur absolue de tomber sur une image de l'attentat de septembre 2001 dans une vignette par hasard, recommandée par UA-cam et sans l'avoir cherchée. Il faut d'abord que je sois préparé psychologiquement, et puis même là encore, c'est dur. Je pense que j'en ai assez vu.
looking out the window at that height and knowing 24 hours later people would decide to jump from that height is unimaginable. i remember it like it was yesterday! such a surreal moment in life that those poor innocent souls had no choice that day but stare death right in the face. what i witnessed on the news that day when i woke up was like a scene from a movie and to actually see people jumping still gives me goosebumps. i hope and pray that all the victims and families find peace also to the ems, firefighters and officers had a duty that to protect and serve not knowing they would leave this earth through pure and utter evilness, i remember watching a documentary on youtube and the officer stood there looking up at the towers and said i have handcuffs and a gun but still couldnt help those who needed help the most. may all the men, women and kids find peace. RIP 9/11 forever and always!
I’ve often wondered over time would there have been people on that observation decks at the points of the impact? The thought of someone watching that coming towards them kinda cuts different for me. Absolutely horrible regardless and a day which changed the world forever. It actually gets worse the more you think about it. Devastating for the victims, the families, the city, the country and humanity as a whole. May they rest easy 😢
Unas hermosas e imponentes torres gemelas, que incluso tenia la torre norte uma antena de Radio y Televisión que en 1999 fue modernizada para transmitir televisión digital terrestre. Excelente punto para emitir canales de televisión
Sad, and heartbreaking how literally a day later, everything would change. The towers get hit, and collapse, and they’re both gone. R.I.P to those on 9/11
There were literally people at their offices that day who had no idea the next day they'd be jumping out of the World Trade Center to their deaths to escape fire and smoke
Dos años antes ya la torre de transmisión había sido modernizada para transmitir televisión digital terrestre junto con la señal analógica de televisión, si que esa torre era buen punto para transmitir señales de televisión

It’s a day that’s stayed with me ever since, a day that changed everything, not just for New York but for the entire world. Flying back on that plane though was the worst flight of my life!
Did you feel the vibration from the second plane? it looked so violent on its approach absolutely terrifying and I only watched it on TV in the uk
Saw people fall from that far away???

It's actually so crazy to see that less than 24 hours later, everything changed. This is a gem of a video, it's like a small piece of major history. Thanks for sharing this
Its mindblowing to think that at the same time these people were strolling along and enjoying their afternoon at WTC, other bad people were probably having coffee and snacks and chatting what theyre gonna do tomorrow.
I was only a little kid back then but I always remembered the iconic towers from the movies and music videos, I was always saying I will see them when I grow up, I had no idea that I will actually never see them
Que no las volvamos a ver es el menor de los problemas que supuso esta tragedia.
Same. I was a six year old girl 😢
I was 3 I'm 26
This thought is chilling. I learned that some of the terrorist stayed at a hotel less than a mile from where I lived. Haunting to think such evil was nearby..
I was 13. I'm from Philly, but I did actually get a chance to see them on a 3rd grade trip to Manhattan to see the CAT theatre play back then. They were large and tall asf in person, and I never actually got close to them. I saw them from like a slight distance from the FDR highway, or from one of those nearby main streets.
September 10th was a wet day with a storm coming over. Not a pleasant afternoon. It was remarked many times by people stating how pleasant the weather on the 11th was compared to the day before.
cloudy afternoon, stormy night on the eve of the disaster
It's likely they planned to attack on a clear day you'd think they check the weather because you can't see the towers when the clouds covered
Sept 11 that day was absolutely beautiful weather, sunny warm. I remember the day. Sad day RIP to those lives lost. Never forget.😢
Yeah, the rain was due to Hurricane Erin. There was a cold front that night that pushed the rest of the rain/clouds away, completely clearing up the morning of 9/11.
The outdoor portion of the observation deck was closed down early due to the incoming storms...so the visitors in this video were probably among the last to ever set foot up there
I used to work in the Trade Center. It still blows my mind that something so monumental was destroyed. I've even been to the new One World Observatory and the 9/11 Museum. But it still doesn't quite seem real. This is pretty epic: the 90's were a largely a good time in America. The Soviet Union fell and we stood alone. 9/11 brought a shocking change to that.
The End of History.
It's an era that I, as a child from 2004, am incurably fascinated with. The optimism your generation had, It's something mine longs for.
@derpsternium8334 the 90s/pre 9/11 world was special. Yes, we had problems and crime, but compared to now it seemed trivial. The economy was great, fashion was good and music ruled. It was a different time. 9/11 was "Woke" as the boomers say
One World, and you're still asleep. Amazing no?
@@2abbaking Bonjour de France. J'ai toujours considéré que ce jour funeste a été un tournant dans l'histoire , comme si le Monde ne serait plus jamais comme avant. Ce qui m'inquiète encore, c'est que ces assassins sont toujours prêt à recommencer. Salutations et bonne continuation. 🇺🇲🇫🇷👍
@@derpsternium8334 That's interesting. I had just turned into my twenties in the 1990s. It was the heydey of neo-liberalism, a continuation of the greed is good that really got underway in the 1980s. We used to look back at the 1960s and 1970s as idyllic times, it is interesting how generations do that.
That tour guide recording is eerie "Over 50,000 people work in the towers..."
Pretty unbelievable that "Only" ~2,500 of them were killed the next day. Over 2K is still an enormous loss of life and extremely awful, but just think about how bad it really Could have been! So many heroes lost in getting so many people evacuated. :(
@@NismoFinderyes it’s great that most people where able to get out of there but it’s still crazy the amount of loss that happened
I remember the newscasters the next day saying that, and I remember watching it on the news and trying to guess how high the number must be. Thinking 25k people might have died is so wild to think about.
@@NismoFinderIt’s mostly because the planes hit early in the morning, many people hadn’t come to work yet or were on their way to work at the time. The first plane hit at 8:46 a.m. If it had hit closer to noon, the casualties would’ve been way worse.

It's unfortunate I'll never get to see them in person, but videos like these help me get an idea. Thanks!

You both here on these comments might have been there in your previous lives which is why you both feel nostalgic.

Thank you! I was wondering what was causing that interference. It's very loud in some parts of this video.
@@kalena7126This can be heard on tons of videos taken on the observation deck.

This could well be September 10, 2001. At the beginning of the video you can see behind the towers and from the shadows on their surface that the sky was quite cloudy that day.
How did you know? It literally says that it's Sept 10th in the description.
@@Devon6024Just because it says it, doesn't mean it is, maybe the uploader just wanted to get alot of views and likes.
@@Mrd9960 just because it's cloudy, doesn't mean it couldn't have been any other day of the year. By your logic.
This likely wasn't sept 10th the observation deck was closed due to stormy conditions that day
Below in the comments they confirm a September 5th timestamp on the video. Still less than a week!
@misterdog7 That was referring to the clips of him & the female colleague in the beginning. The uploader claims the footage on top of the observation deck was taken 14 hours before the attacks.
I have seen no evidence that the observation deck was closed that day. Worth pointing out that rain was not falling the entire day, but only at certain points.
It would have looked the same a few days later
i dont believe it rained the whole day, in the late afternoon that’s when it started
1:41… the clip of the fountain… crazy since there are two memorial fountains in place of the towers now.
2:30 I can't believe there were Hungarian people among the last visitors of the building
Én is kiszúrtam a magyar dumát, talán az Empire State Building-et említik, és hogy "ez magasabb annál".

Can you imagine telling your coworker on this day “I’ll see you tomorrow” and you never get a chance to
Imagine telling your wife, or husband, and kids see you tonight, this happened😢
I’ve seen the footage of the day it all happened quite a few times but seeing the lady walking about on the top for the first time shows me how big the foot print actually was! The rail from one corner to the other goes on for a long way.
Each floor would have been massive
When I watch that film " Escape from New York" with the Twin Towers staring Kirt Russell it blows my mind to think that years later they wouldn't be there anymore scary stuff 😓
Thanks for sharing. I was alive at the time but never got to visit these buildings.
Sometimes I wonder about the amount of videos of 9/11 that would exist if smartphones were around in 2001. Videos of people that never got out of those buildings.
Thank God there was hardly any advanced social media and no smartphones in 2001.
There would have been dumbazzez too busy trying to create a perfect TikTok/live had such a scenario happened nowadays.
I was born on 2003, I've been feeling a fascination for the twin towers and the WTC since I was 10 years old, it's such a shame that they no longer exist, I wonder how would it be like to exist on that era and be able to visit them. The new WTC tower Is not as iconic as the twin towers were
If you believe in reincarnation, it is possible that you may be a new incarnation of one of the people who died on September 11th. Hence this fascination and a kind of longing for towers and their specific style.
Twin towers were the focal point of the NY skyline well before they came down. Living in that era, imagine more people outside optimistic and socially vibrant. There was very little social media, no smartphone zombies, no doomers.
Wow, it's also in Russian, my native language. Thanks for upload

The Twin Towers were an icon of New York and sadly missed. I was on a flight to New York just before the hijacking took place. So my flight got diverted to Shannon Ireland as the plane was halfway across the Atlantic by then.
So sad now we know what was coming it's like a tragic movie but it's real as it even got . God bless them all
Yeah, a stupid movie no one would wanna watch because of what happened the day after obviously with a very low score of rotten tomatoes 🍅
Thank you deeply for sharing this moment of history with the world. The skyline is the one I knew back when I traveled there. It's all so different. But the Love of New York City holds stronger than ever! Most incredible city on earth!
I can’t imagine how the Empire State felt, losing his younger twins on the next day 😢💔
May all those innocent souls who lost their lives on 9/11 rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏
That made me tear up reading that 😔😔😔
Someone I know had lunch in the restaurant in one of the towers on the 10th, then flew back to England that evening. She always hoped that the young lad who served her wasn't working that day. RIP to those killed.

What's so scary about that?
Im just glad that now we understand that wheeling a TV infront of a classroom full of 2nd graders and forcing them to watch 9/11 live as it happened and then walk into the hallway for hours until our PE coach rushed in to turn it off after he realized that none of the other teachers knew what they just showed to children and the life long trauma just inflicted upon my class.
Thank you for sharing this.
We can all agree that this was taken in 2001 whether it was exactly on September 10th or not.
We can all agree it was taken somewhere on or within the vicinity of planet earth.
Never forget . Thank you for posting
Can’t imagine being there on top of WTC the day before it all went down the next morning. That eerie feeling you were that close becoming a memory, unimaginable horrible one. People trapped a 1/4 mile up in the sky had no idea what that day had held for them

I was on holiday in Benidorm when it happened. Before we took our flight, the night before, me and 2 friends were watching some MTV and I'll always remember watching the Limp Bizkit Rollin' video, where they're performing atop the wtc. Its almost like its a clue you could never have deciphered at the time. Weird.

In the original video at 3 seconds in, the date says September 5, 2001 and they're wearing the same outfits at the building.

@@Galidorquest I couldn't tell ya why but in the original source right before it starts at the WTC he's wearing that outfit while the sun is setting
When they are on the observation deck the camera picks up the RF interference from the TV and radio transmitters on 1WTC. See ( or better yet "hear") how it changes depending on how the camera is held and therefore the microphone shielded more or less?
The last good, simple day in NYC before everything changed. I’m not saying life in NYC is terrible now, but it’s no question that the world drastically changed after 9/10.
Es terrible lo sucedido y la pérdida de vidas es irreparable pero de eso a que el mundo cambiara es difícil de creer porque incluso los talibanes han regresado a controlar un país sin problema alguno.

I remember that day.
I was home sick with a never ending case of H2 pylori,bemoaning the irony of not being able to go to the Rutgers game with Cal in NJ that upcoming weekend after I had gone to California to see the two teams play there two years earlier.
Then it happened.
The game was postponed until late November,at which time I was able to attend.
C'est incroyable et terrible de se dire que certaines personnes, anonymes pour moi, que l'on voit dans cette vidéos vivent leur dernière journée complète et ont disparues le lendemain dans cette tragédie, dans d'effroyables circonstances pour certaines, à cause de la folie des humains... ! Je n'oublierais jamais cette journée ! Une grande pensée pour eux depuis la France ! 💐
Last day of yesterdays world. Just imagine there is possibly time travelers from our distant future there while this is filmed only to observe but not to interfere, you just never realized it.
I use to work there & never considered playing hooky from work until 9/11 at 6 a.m. when I heard it was going to be a "Sweet Summer Day" just like the last song from the "Summer Catch" Soundtrack starring Freddie Prince Jr which I saw just weeks before in the theater! I recently purchased a handy cam & was going to practice using it that day in the mall under the buildings until 3 p.m. when I made plans to meet with someone. Then right around 6:45 a.m. I was going to "call in sick", I changed my mind and left my apt to head for work. Got to the Cortland St. station on the #1 train by 7:25 a.m. with my handy cam but never used it! Saw a homeless man sleeping by the steps just beyond the turn style exit & everyone acting like he was such an nuisance for being in the way as everyone headed to the mall. I reported to work at 7:30 a.m. Then an hour and 15 mins later, the lights at my store had flickered followed by a "loud tremor" sound! Soon that sound was replaced by a woman screaming in horror. Then that sound was replaced by a more frightening sound of people's dress shoes running away from something in all different directions while the cops ran against the crowd with their sticks in their hands! Later, when my coworkers and I evacuated from the mall we realized we were the last ones as we saw businesses leaving their coffee & food behind! I stood in horror when I got out the mall, looked up and saw this massive hole in the North Tower just 50 yards from me! My co-workers and I stood @ Church & Vessey streets watching this until I looked at the South Tower still intact & the time was 8:55. Suddenly a strange feeling came over me & I somehow felt it wasn't safe to stand there anymore so I told my co-workers and we headed east to The South Street Seaport. We never got to see the impact of the second building being struck, but the terrifying incoming "missle like" sound made up for it. We were By Canal St when we heard and saw the first building collapse. Then we were at Prince Street when the 2nd one fell. Later when I got home, my answering machine was flooded with calls including the one I was supposed to meet with who was in tears not knowing if I was alive or not! Feeling haunted by multiple types of sounds, It felt like the longest nightmare of my life!
Wow this is such an incredible story! Thank you for sharing!!!
@@pre911wtc1 Less than a week after 9/11, my manager at work called me and said he wanted to thank me for saving all 7 of us co-workers out of harm's way. First from preventing us from seeing the second building being struck and possibly getting seriously injured by falling debris,. Second, for discouraging some of us who wanted to "return back" to the mall from the South Street Seaport thinking that the fire would be "under control" by the time we walked back there. But because they listened to me when I said we should "walk north and not west" as a result, I prevented all 7 of us from getting any of that toxic cloud of debris on us when the first building collapsed. My manager didn't know whether I was "clairvoyant" or just street smart but he said he was eternally grateful to have someone like me in a situation like that. I didn't "react" to anything that happened that day until I got home and saw it on tv, and that's when it really "hit me hard". I had to walk back to my high rise apt on the upper west side with no one there except for my desktop while Manhattan was on Lock down! It was through America Online later that night that I got instant messaged by multiple strangers who said they read my AOL profile and wanted to know what I saw. The more people I told, the less anxiety I felt so in a way it was like therapy. I'll never forget how everyone in the city came together in the days that followed 9/11. Strangers from all walks of life just coming together and helping each other. It's a shame that sometimes, it has to take a big tragedy for people to come together and be "human". I've had many close calls with fires all through my life, in my building, across the street from my building, on the subway, etc, yet somehow I managed to survive without any serious injuries. Makes you wonder if there's such a thing as having 9 lives or having a guarding angel watching over me.
A lady at the nursing facility I used ro work at had visited the towers and observation deck March or June 2001.
Kind of creepy how the last shot on this video was the Statue of Liberty
You zoomed into where she was hit 💔 Eerie af!!
I remember this Monday afternoon when it was raining really hard. When I was a teenager I used to look outside my window because it was unusually raining with thunderstorm.
crazy how nobody knew this would be the last couple of minutes before the world changed forever.
How utterly horrifying to see, just one day before, what the victims saw from the windows! I remember that morning, it was a beautiful September morning, before NYC was changed forever!
The only reason I ever wanted to visit NY was because of the trade centers, I couldn't believe that day.
A very sad day in history.
I heard it was raining on September 10th so can’t be the last afternoon.
There's a sept 5th timestamp on a portion of the video. it's within 6 days. Which is still just eerie and sad.
It wasn't raining the entire day. Other photos and videos taken in New York that day confirm it.
Its hard to believe that people jump from this high
The last day of two giants.....
I wonder, did people trapped on the upper floors attempt to go up to the observation deck to at least get away from the smoke and fire?
The doors would have been locked.
There were a lot of smoke there, too.
❤
For the people that was there on September 10 that did not go back the next day, they have to feel like the luckiest people in the world.
Oh my godness it's one day before that the soul of south Manhattan change for always !!!
Also eerie that this footage now has significant historical value even if really mediocre on the day it was recorded. Literally the last full day the towers stood and of the unfortunate souls lost.
It's really scary to think that you're on top of those towers just the day before you could have been on there the next where you would be joining the ride of the collapse

looking out the window at that height and knowing 24 hours later people would decide to jump from that height is unimaginable. i remember it like it was yesterday! such a surreal moment in life that those poor innocent souls had no choice that day but stare death right in the face. what i witnessed on the news that day when i woke up was like a scene from a movie and to actually see people jumping still gives me goosebumps. i hope and pray that all the victims and families find peace also to the ems, firefighters and officers had a duty that to protect and serve not knowing they would leave this earth through pure and utter evilness, i remember watching a documentary on youtube and the officer stood there looking up at the towers and said i have handcuffs and a gun but still couldnt help those who needed help the most. may all the men, women and kids find peace. RIP 9/11 forever and always!
I’ve often wondered over time would there have been people on that observation decks at the points of the impact? The thought of someone watching that coming towards them kinda cuts different for me. Absolutely horrible regardless and a day which changed the world forever. It actually gets worse the more you think about it. Devastating for the victims, the families, the city, the country and humanity as a whole. May they rest easy 😢
The observation decks would have been closed when the planes hit.

The audio buzz is interference from the (analog) TV transmitter on the adjacent tower.
Dos años antes ya la torre de transmisión había sido modernizada para transmitir televisión digital terrestre junto con la señal analógica de televisión, si que esa torre era buen punto para transmitir señales de televisión
