Going back to work after six months was surreal. I worked at the MarriotWTC and was hired back down the street at the Marriott Financial Center. There was a stairway I believe it was the 3rd floor window, you would look out and on the opposite building was spray pointed two arrows, one labeled”plane parts” the other labeled “body parts”. The smell, everything was unbelievable. Like many of my coworkers we struggled to keep it together. I moved out of NYC four years later to begin again…To this day I can’t bring myself to visit the Memorial. I look at the state of our country today - the division, the hate. It’s heartbreaking. We will not survive if we don’t love and accept each other. Life is too short.
I remember my parents took us to stay at that exact hotel for Thanksgiving in ‘04 or ‘05. I remember our room directly faced the Deutsche Bank Building, and at night the lights would come on. You could look into the windows and see everything still in that building, exactly how it was on 9/11 and never touched since. So eerie. And of course, next to it, the bathtub where the towers once stood. Sad as it was, it made me so happy to go back to lower Manhattan and see how phenomenally it’s bounced back.
I more or less just wrote the same thing about unity. I encourage you to go to the museum. It's a bit pricey now ($33 for adults), but the fact that you are standing in the sub-basements of the original towers is surreal...and sobering. i encouraged my GF to go--she had a similar personal experience--and it helped her with a bit of closure.
0:30 I had to stop watching at this point. I forgot about that, where people had up flyers for missing loved ones and friends that never came home, and still haven't all these years later. 😢 that went on for a long time before people started to accept that their loved ones are deceased. 💔
Yup, going back to work was horrific in itself. The smell was God awful. There was so much tension in the air. Dust covered everything. I will never forget this watch repair store where I worked by ground zero. They had tons of watches in the window and everyone had dust all over them. I don't know why that made such an impression on me but it was like being in some sort of a Twilight Zone movie. #CRAZY.

I’ve left New York by plane sept. 10th 2001, I swear to God that my last glimpse of NY that day, as we had taken off from JFK, turned left towards the Atlantic (I was seated on the right), was the tip of the WTC coming out of a thick layer of clouds. The next day... I returned on 9/18, went straight towards Battery park, saw what remained of one of the towers, that tall piece of facade that stayed for a few days before being finally torn down, I saw the inumerable pieces of paper with sweet words and/or missing persons pinned next to the church, I remember the white dust that could still be seen in the plant pots on the streets... I remember the faces of some of the WTC employees, those I would see when I came to visit, the last time a couple of months before, with a friend I had brought back from Europe. I remember the lady at the counter who sold us our tickets, on the platform in the entrance hall, I remember the ladies who sold plush toys on the last floor right by the elevators, I remeber because of the stuffed pets that looked so cheap and out of tune with the very sophisticated surroundings... I remember that the towers swerved when the winds were strong, I remember the commercial gallery on the way to the subway. I remember.
The fires were still going on until sometime in December from what I remember... The whole nation was just so sad. It was a very solemn Christmas season that year across the country. This video made it all come rushing back to me. R.I.P. for the victims and my heart goes out to the families of those lost in the disaster and all the lives lost afterward in the war.
I was 7 & I remember my grandfather passed away that day in India. My dad had to get a flight out of DC to Delhi because of that & the situation at Dulles airport was really intense. I couldn’t really put it all together cuz I was in the 2nd grade but you could tell there was a lot of tension, especially for brown people like us. 20 years later & it still feels like just yesterday
Well I wish the Towers did what they were designed to do and treated the plane like a pencil entering a screen on a screen door too bad the jet fuel fired had to finish it off
Digital8 in an NTSC camcorder records a broadcast-quality video. What's on the tape is essentially a giant digital video file. If you copy this file to your computer with the right equipment, such as a Digital8 camcorder connected by a FireWire cable to software (such as Sony Vegas) that can directly copy the signal (no generations of conversion and quality loss), you can generate an AVI file with no further compression, giving very good picture quality. The resulting file will be tens of gigabytes; but, when you upload it to UA-cam, although UA-cam will apply one generation of lossy compression, the video available for UA-cam viewers to watch will have much better picture quality than what's in this upload. Even if you never take that step, I thank you for sharing with the world this important personal and historical record.
I used to do just that. I was once a proud owner of a Sony Handycam DCR-TRV110E and it would record on Digital Hi-8 tape. It boasted a great digital and optical zoom and was a high quality affordable camcorder which lasted for over decade before it packed up. FireWire was awesome for its time, fast data transfer speeds and reliable too. Agreed, the uncompressed digital output on PC would take up collosal space lol
What’s crazy is a lot of New Yorkers at the time didn’t like tourists and others videoing and photographing near ground zero… but years later I think I speak for a lot of us that I’m thankful they did, as horrible as that day was, record of it needs to be kept, to remind us to rejoice in our togetherness and to honor the heroes and innocent people who lost their lives
I think you can hear someone shout stop videoing near the end of the video. It was totally understandable, your grief wasn't a tourist attraction but it is a testament to your resilience and community today.
@@LauraTraynor-y2sI heard that too. Seemed like it may have been a policeman. I figured the camera was zoomed in from far enough away but they must have had instructions to discourage it.
It's really sad thinking back to 9/11 and the months following. Felt hollow and alone. I was in high school. I remember one thing the most, how everyone came together. It just made us feel as a nation like we were all one. Now, we are more distant than ever and it really bums me out.
It was so nice to hear part of this lady’s story... i felt somehow strange, you’ve captured by an accident someones story and documented it. Wondering wheres she now
There’s a certain level of…comfort seeing that just over a month later, life is trying to return to normal. Life will go on. The sun will rise tomorrow. There will be another day. We will get through this, and we did.
@@APerson-ni1gb I mean…it never goes away, just gets easier to deal with I imagine, right? I’ve never experienced anything nearly as dramatic and traumatic as 9/11 personally, not even close, but what things I have experienced do get easier to talk about with time. It must just take far, far longer for something on this scale
this is a great, great video. could not agree more with others' shock on so few views. Definitely subscribing on the basis of this, which deserves to be a classic. It shows grief and resilience in their elemental forms, how human nature can grieve unspeakable tragedy, but still when the sun arises, especially on a spectacularly beautiful crisp New York autumn day, we continue with life, make the best of things, and smile along the way. And horrific as such tragedies are, they bring out the nicer side of people and add a certain sweetness to communities and relationships. But the cost is too, too staggering, and it goes obviously without saying, not worth it by a million miles.
It must have been so strange for someone who lived there for years or maybe their whole lives, knowing those two towers are there, and then for the first time ever standing somewhere you'd usually be able to see them, but they're not there anymore.
you get up the day after the event, the happenings lingering in your memory just so that you wonder if all of it was reality or just a dream, going out with this clenching pain and pressure in your chest. as walking down, you know that wasn't a dream. you hoped it would be but deep down you knew it wasn't, so you cross the corners in NY, the image of the WTC still clear inside your mind, you look up and - the two towers are gone. that kind of "this wasn't just a bad dream"-feeling, i think thats what many people that first day after the event have been feeling
I was born and raised on Long Island about 45 minutes east of the city. When we went to the city (which was numerous times every year) that was how I knew we were close. Because the first things you’d see were the “twin towers” as we called them. The tallest buildings in the city. I’m sure my mother was tired of me saying it every time we went. I’d always be excited and be like, “mom! There’s the twin towers!” - yes it was very strange when they were no longer there. The skyline changed.
I was working on disaster recovery in the buildings around the towers at that time, out in Long Island to recover and rebuild computers later on. Everybody was very friendly and helpful.
I felt sick to my stomach the following weeks. There was no UA-cam so we posted our thoughts about this tragedy on forums. They had websites honoring the victims.
Must've been terrifying to think any other building in the city could be another target for attack. Thank God we've never had a catastrophic attack like this again since.
@@nanaaax I still get nervous when a plane seems to be flying too low. I live close to the Air Force base here in my state and their planes fly pretty low a lot but it still makes me feel uneasy.
Everything was car accidents scared people everyone had anxiety after this every plane we all stopped to check if it was “too low” we were fucked up and we were still young
Ive been binge watching these wtc9/11 videos the past few nights. Its sad to see the progression of the concert venue stage. 12:55 One video was weeks before the tragedy, performers were playing music in the courtyard area, people were walking around, taking pics, being normal. Then on 9/11 you see the stage with pieces of jumpers' bodies and the torn tarp where they fell through, along with debris. In this video it stands as an empty shell.
It feels no different then today the taste in my mouth is the same after those gaudy beautiful towers fell long ago. I feel it in the air it hasn't left since that day. Even the architecture of the towers has not been matched no matter how you slice the pie
It is amazing how much the world changes in 10 years far as transportation it's very rare that you see the same type of automobiles like those made from 1990-1996 or what would be considered a top car then wouod cease to exist in 2000-2003 and the cars from 2000-2005 is rarely seen in 2010 & beyond and so forth
@@Jsjsjjssjs what are you talking about? I know when the towers collapsed I was speaking only one the evolution of cars every 10-20 years 2how unlikely it is to see cars like my first was a 95 Cadillac Deville in the years following 2010 u might see a small amount of people driving them but today (2023) the present moment you don't see them anymore
I would be turning 4 a week later. At the time my mom worked at CFB North Bay and she told me the day 9/11 happened everyone got sent home because they weren’t sure what else was going to happen. She kept all the news papers from that day for me and my brother to look at when we got a bit older. Decades later I still can’t believe this happened.
My dad was born on the 21st…ten days after 9/11. He was 31, he lived nowhere near NYC (we call Tasmania home actually) and we’ve never been. But he was house sitting that day as he used to do a lot back then when he first met my mum, who was on a student visa. I’ve never really talked to him much about it but I asked what he felt like after it (obviously not very good). My dad doesn’t cry very often but he said it made him very emotional. My mum on the other hand was at university when an Indonesian male student on a student visa who was Muslim told her about the attacks. She couldn’t really understand what he was saying due to his broken English (plus English was not her first language either) so she got home turned on the TV. And yeah. The rest you can figure out. But ty for this footage, as someone who didn’t live through 9/11 and probably doesn’t want to, videos like this really help
What people don't remember is the irresponsible journalism from that time. I still have a newspaper from early October where the headline was that a 'nuke" could go off tonight, Then that plane crashed in the Bronx. My head wasn't right for a year or so.
You'd think this would be etched in Americans brains for decades to come, yet here we are just a minuscule 22 years later, and we are more dived and upside down than ever. Our country is ran by a joke, our government is a bigger joke, and focus on bettering our country is lost.
I was 16 in 2001 just starting college when this awful tragedy happened so awfully sad even to this day 22 years on all those poor victims and families in America RIP your never be forgotten we love you and will never forget you 😢😢
I played in a band in NYC in the mid 90's. I lived in Harlem for a few months while we recorded a record in Queens (yes, I know that's a hike but the apartment was another bands place) and depending on the traffic we would sometimes go around the island to get over to Queens. Obviously I would see the towers everyday. So when I went back after the attack and saw the remnants of the area it was shocking to see. What was more shocking was watching the people standing next to certain memorials and having their photos taken and smiling. It was one of the only times my wife didn't give me shit for going off on random people in public (I'm a scorpio, leave it at that). I could *not believe* that people were so incredibly stupid that they thought smiling next to a memorial was ok
On 9/11 I was 9 years old round my friends house when we heard mikes mum say omg to his dad me Mike and his brother came downstairs to see and the north tower smoking then shortly after see the plane slam into the south tower live then the towers fell. I was young but I knew what had happened and the lives lost I knew the towers before hand from home alone 2
Hi from the UK. I was 18. I was at a friend's house, we both had the day off so just hanging out and she put the TV on. Traumatic. Everyone talking about it for weeks after. I still think about it today hence the post. Solitary
Family owned several apartments on liberty street an lived on top floor(or as we called it the penthouse. It faced onto twin towers. We were supposed to fly from Heathrow on the 9th to start vacation with family in New York an work our way down to keywest, stopping at each destination. Going down east coast an back up the west coast finally back to New York to families an then get amtrax upstate to Albany an surrounding area. Virgin Atlantic contacted us asking if we could fly 12th as they have seriously over booked the flight an one airlinev was getting taken out of service, initially we said no as they were calling several passengers, but in the end reluctantly we agreed a they said they'd give us a upgrade an a discount. We would have either have been eating breakfast less than 200 yards id say away from wtc or weed have been out walking towards the wtc to book our tickets to go to obs deck as we'd done many times b4, but it would have been hubby's 1st time up trades
I remember when it happened I saw it live on tv in the mornings I was about to go to school when we saw the second one hit . We didn’t go to school that day. For like a month I would see outside my window and see skyscrapers and think maybe they might hit us here too .
How long after was the subway back up and running? I'm wondering because there are a lot of people on the street were things back to somewhat normal around this time?
If you’re talking about the arch, that’s the Winter Garden at World Financial Center with some of the North Tower facade in the foreground. The Winter Garden was repaired and is still standing,
@@risksrewardsrelics51Thankfully At least, there’s Still Some remnants Close to what was don’t know why they couldn’t rebuild another Bridge connecting to the freedom tower

I was at school until my dad picked me up and said there was a terrorist attack that unfolded everyone. Both the twin towers fell on the same day By a hijacked plane I was 3 years old at the time & now I'm 25 It was very horrible scene to watch But I witnessed people that were jumping out the windows to their deaths 💔 😢 families morned a day After the attacks and waved their goodbyes to their love ones on a faithful day Rest in peace to all the victims who lost their lives that day Into the veterans, firefighters first responders Ems. Who rescue people that day would like to say Thank you, and extend our condolences to the families and friends 🙏 ❤💔😔
Going back to work after six months was surreal. I worked at the MarriotWTC and was hired back down the street at the Marriott Financial Center. There was a stairway I believe it was the 3rd floor window, you would look out and on the opposite building was spray pointed two arrows, one labeled”plane parts” the other labeled “body parts”. The smell, everything was unbelievable. Like many of my coworkers we struggled to keep it together. I moved out of NYC four years later to begin again…To this day I can’t bring myself to visit the Memorial. I look at the state of our country today - the division, the hate. It’s heartbreaking. We will not survive if we don’t love and accept each other. Life is too short.

You should vist the memorial. It can only be good for you.

USA is waste society of rash consumers.
it's been 22 years
@@Jsjsjjssjs what are you talking about? I know when the towers collapsed I was speaking only one the evolution of cars every 10-20 years 2how unlikely it is to see cars like my first was a 95 Cadillac Deville in the years following 2010 u might see a small amount of people driving them but today (2023) the present moment you don't see them anymore
😅😢😢
i actually prefer this showing on my recommened page(which happened) than having all those cringy bloggers.
I would be turning 4 a week later. At the time my mom worked at CFB North Bay and she told me the day 9/11 happened everyone got sent home because they weren’t sure what else was going to happen. She kept all the news papers from that day for me and my brother to look at when we got a bit older.
Decades later I still can’t believe this happened.
I got chills around the 18 second mark seeing the frame
Could you explain what you mean?
@@kalodont1916 They mean 18 minute mark, the little bit of the frame of the tower still barely standing
My dad was born on the 21st…ten days after 9/11. He was 31, he lived nowhere near NYC (we call Tasmania home actually) and we’ve never been. But he was house sitting that day as he used to do a lot back then when he first met my mum, who was on a student visa. I’ve never really talked to him much about it but I asked what he felt like after it (obviously not very good). My dad doesn’t cry very often but he said it made him very emotional. My mum on the other hand was at university when an Indonesian male student on a student visa who was Muslim told her about the attacks. She couldn’t really understand what he was saying due to his broken English (plus English was not her first language either) so she got home turned on the TV. And yeah. The rest you can figure out. But ty for this footage, as someone who didn’t live through 9/11 and probably doesn’t want to, videos like this really help
That was one super high quality camera you got. Props to ya
What people don't remember is the irresponsible journalism from that time. I still have a newspaper from early October where the headline was that a 'nuke" could go off tonight, Then that plane crashed in the Bronx. My head wasn't right for a year or so.
What a gorgeous shot of the moon
It's so sad to realize it takes a tragedy for people to respect the country and each other
You'd think this would be etched in Americans brains for decades to come, yet here we are just a minuscule 22 years later, and we are more dived and upside down than ever. Our country is ran by a joke, our government is a bigger joke, and focus on bettering our country is lost.
countries do not need to be respected. they're land masses with no sentience.
This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I was 16 in 2001 just starting college when this awful tragedy happened so awfully sad even to this day 22 years on all those poor victims and families in America RIP your never be forgotten we love you and will never forget you 😢😢
college at 16?

Holy fuck that’s eerie, I sang in my head “united we stand”…
It’s good to visit. Know you’re not alone at least in all of this.
I played in a band in NYC in the mid 90's. I lived in Harlem for a few months while we recorded a record in Queens (yes, I know that's a hike but the apartment was another bands place) and depending on the traffic we would sometimes go around the island to get over to Queens. Obviously I would see the towers everyday. So when I went back after the attack and saw the remnants of the area it was shocking to see. What was more shocking was watching the people standing next to certain memorials and having their photos taken and smiling. It was one of the only times my wife didn't give me shit for going off on random people in public (I'm a scorpio, leave it at that). I could *not believe* that people were so incredibly stupid that they thought smiling next to a memorial was ok
yea its baffling to me how you could be laughing at a site of so much death, how mentally/socially underdeveloped must you be to do so i have no idea.
Scorpio? 6 mistakes in the word stupid lol
scorpio 🙃
That train in the beginning of the video was the NJ Transit.
I recommend reuploading this in 720p to get full 60fps. Just a thought :)
On 9/11 I was 9 years old round my friends house when we heard mikes mum say omg to his dad me Mike and his brother came downstairs to see and the north tower smoking then shortly after see the plane slam into the south tower live then the towers fell. I was young but I knew what had happened and the lives lost I knew the towers before hand from home alone 2
Hi from the UK. I was 18. I was at a friend's house, we both had the day off so just hanging out and she put the TV on. Traumatic. Everyone talking about it for weeks after. I still think about it today hence the post. Solitary
Family owned several apartments on liberty street an lived on top floor(or as we called it the penthouse. It faced onto twin towers. We were supposed to fly from Heathrow on the 9th to start vacation with family in New York an work our way down to keywest, stopping at each destination. Going down east coast an back up the west coast finally back to New York to families an then get amtrax upstate to Albany an surrounding area.
Virgin Atlantic contacted us asking if we could fly 12th as they have seriously over booked the flight an one airlinev was getting taken out of service, initially we said no as they were calling several passengers, but in the end reluctantly we agreed a they said they'd give us a upgrade an a discount.
We would have either have been eating breakfast less than 200 yards id say away from wtc or weed have been out walking towards the wtc to book our tickets to go to obs deck as we'd done many times b4, but it would have been hubby's 1st time up trades
Thank You so much for sharing rhis video!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

amazing camera, it zooms so far
Thanks for posting this video
This video is now 19 years old (okt 20 2020)
Who paid for this to show up in my recommend
You paid for it?
Almost a month later and there are still smokes?
It didn't stop smoldering for around 2 months
The smoke lasted 99 days. So about December 19th 2001 is when the smoke finally went out.
It was over a month.
That is devastating
@@johnkenley4687 No ordinary fire would be smoldering so long. Unless ...
Were fires still burning after a month? That's crazy
There must be dust and debris to this day around manhattan
The Empire state building here looks to be a darkened up version of its former self.
people seems so happy
New york will always be so beautiful ❤
You mean crappy?
Beautiful without Democrats running it into the ground
Just about to turn 6, and I didn't understand. I mean, I knew what I was seeing on TV, but I didn't understand what was just lost.
Seeing the musicians.....❤❤❤
This means America is stronger than ever.
Exactly 🇺🇸👏❤️💪
@@Antny.25 US terrorists only fight the weak. Look at how they are cringing to face Russia in Ukraine.
Recommendation got it right this time
I'd love a piece of the tower they started going up around the time i was born in 1969
I remember when it happened I saw it live on tv in the mornings I was about to go to school when we saw the second one hit . We didn’t go to school that day. For like a month I would see outside my window and see skyscrapers and think maybe they might hit us here too .
There was still dust in New York. People were scared of what happened to the WTC.
To see this again is to smell it.
What’d it smell like ? And don’t say death
@@APerson-ni1gbSmoke
The day before I was born
It was wrong to let the firefighters go in before the last tower came down 😢
OMG the walking talking Statue of Liberty
Great footage Thanks
8:00 living statue of liberty?
That was my first birthday.
How long after was the subway back up and running? I'm wondering because there are a lot of people on the street were things back to somewhat normal around this time?
The fire would last until mid December...
When was Broadway cleared up ?
I turned 13 this day...damn.
Crack baby from 80 s l o l
LMAO the guy in the "OSHA" hat at 10:43 looks like the most conspicuous "undercover" spook ever!
what is this collapsed building at 14:29?
It must be wtc-5 (demolished in December 2001)
If you’re talking about the arch, that’s the Winter Garden at World Financial Center with some of the North Tower facade in the foreground.
The Winter Garden was repaired and is still standing,
@@risksrewardsrelics51Thankfully At least, there’s Still Some remnants Close to what was don’t know why they couldn’t rebuild another Bridge connecting to the freedom tower
Wonder who the statue of Liberty look a like Lady is at 8:11 😂
If you see this statue of Lady look-a-like Lady. I hope you're still doing ya thing.
Maybe she moved back to iowa ?

Weird to see my exact birthday
So what happened when you were on September 11th 2001 on 9/11
I was at school until my dad picked me up and said there was a terrorist attack that unfolded everyone. Both the twin towers fell on the same day By a hijacked plane I was 3 years old at the time & now I'm 25 It was very horrible scene to watch But I witnessed people that were jumping out the windows to their deaths 💔 😢 families morned a day After the attacks and waved their goodbyes to their love ones on a faithful day Rest in peace to all the victims who lost their lives that day Into the veterans, firefighters first responders Ems. Who rescue people that day would like to say Thank you, and extend our condolences to the families and friends 🙏 ❤💔😔
God bless America
