The History Of The World Trade Center Goes DEEPER Than You Think
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- The World Trade Center is one of the most iconic buildings of all time, but you might not know how they came to be. The towering monoliths were conceived as a way to breathe life into Manhattan's Financial District. David Rockefeller knew that the area needed to diversify if it was to break out of its malaise. While the Chase Manhattan Bank Tower was under construction, David Rockefeller formed the Downtown-Lower Manhattan Association, which was focused on revitalizing the region. The group then hired SOM to conduct a survey on the area.
After conducting a study on the area, the parties involved decided to go forward with a trade center proposal. The finer details were ironed out by Port Authority. In March of 1961, Port Authority formally presented the proposal for the trade center to New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, New Jersey Governor Robert Meyner, and New York City mayor Robert Wagner. They made a strong case for the center, providing potential use cases, import and export charts, financing, and architectural plans.
Those on the New York side were enthusiastic about the initial report, but Meyner didn’t share in their excitement. He felt that a monstrous complex on the east side of Manhattan wouldn’t provide much benefit to the people of New Jersey. He declined to give his support, jeopardizing the fate of the trade center and setting off a years-long political firestorm.

If I have to listen to him say "Manhadden" one more time...
Man-HADDIN lol
The narrator sounds like hes reading haiku after haiku on an endless loop.
The elegant giant towers could never be replaced. So cool and understated, I love them heavily
No way this has only 19k views. THE EDITING IS INCREDIBLE. And very informative!
I’ve always had fascinations of the World Trade Center,’thanks for uploading this!
Went from your honda video to seeing your channel only getting 93 views on such a quality video. I promise the views will eventually come with how much work goes into these videos. I see a bright future for dis one.
Thank You!. I really needed that.
@@RideOnTimePH same here!! a very happy accident lol! i don't know how these algorithms work, but there's a lot of hidden gems sometimes.
Brilliant documentary as always. It's a shame for UA-cam audience. This video should have watch thousands or millions views. You are the most underrated channel in the UA-cam. Never stop the making video for us, Barchetta.
always glad to learn about underrated things on yt
people are to lazy to learn about our history
Kiss, kiss! Wow!
@Milleniumman-kt2cz it's more about the presentation. Robotic tones are a turn off for some.
Terrific video! The planning, construction and modifications of the WTC complex over its lifetime has long been a topic of interest to me and I've researched it extensively over the years. Even still, this video (particularly the second chapter) taught me lots of stuff I didn't know previously. Thanks for sharing :). My only criticism would be to narrate these videos if you can, the voiceover initially made me inclined to click away... which is such a shame for videos of such quality. Thanks again :)
You told me about your plan for this video about a year ago and I thought you changed your mind cause I didn't see you post it. Great video!!!!
I was trying to get into this, but the robovoice constantly pronouncing it "Manhaddon" drove me nuts! I had to bail when I was only 5 minutes into it.
YES
The history of the WTCA also had its roots in New Orleans, and yes the Rockefellers had influence there also.
I love this content man! Some of the best docs from a smaller channel I’ve ever seen
Jugglin gerbils, mechanical narrative seems anachronistic describing New Amsterdam development of temporary accommodation built for purpose
I can't even imagine how long it took to make this video. It's sad that you're so underrated
Give it time. Too much of the market is filled up with ridiculous half-wit content which makes it hard for these lesser known channels to sprout through the pavement.
@@Kylefassbinderful 💯👏👏
This was a History Channel Documentary
This is an excellent presentation. Thank you for taking the time and effort making it. Please carry on making documentaries of this calibre. Your extensive knowledge is appreciated.
Even after all this time, I still miss the old towers. I always felt they should have been rebuilt exactly as they were.
Fantastic video. Can't wait for the next part
The narration is brutal but I really do appreciate the in-depth story nonetheless.
Oh, and it's been a year (at least) since this was made, where's part 2?
if tha narration was ‘brutal’ why look for a part 2?
I miss those iconic towers.
Brilliant video. There are too few really good and longer than 10 minutes videos about the development of New York city. Thank you for your effort! Greetings from Austria! 🙂
Well done ❤ still looking for part 2
Can’t believe you don’t have millions of followers, this is a better documentary then anything i’ve seen on TV!
Waiting for 2nd part 🎉 nice video ❤
Incredible video and research! I am eager to watch the second part 😁😁
You have mad editing skills!!! Lovely video, great content!🎉
I've never heard, nor thought the history of not an entire city ,but a portion of a city could be made so interesting. Absolutely fantastic, thanks ever much
a BRILLIANT 41 minute long original documentary with 20 views? THIS IS CRIMINAL!
no seriously, i love this channels scope of talking from everything from the lexus LS to the WTC!
Thanks for watching.
Now has 13k
Patience...
you gotta speak better though, sound like a robot
@@johnadams1281 beep boop?
Great doc..
Is there a part 2?
I really appreciate how well researched this content is. A lot of channels just paraphrase Wikipedia pages, so it’s refreshing to actually hear something new and original. You’ve earned a sub, and I’m excited to check out some of your other videos!
if u didnt use robot voice you would have ten times the subscribers, its in ur hands sir
Great video
Yoooo where’s the sequel this video and documentary was so good!!! I want that next episode
Aahhh! Where's the second part! Was really enjoying this and was eager to watch the next video! 😆
Good Information Thank You🌹🌹🌹
What about to part two? This was such a well made documentary I’m so sad that there seemingly never ended up being a second part
same, very frustrating indeed
Manhadden Is next to new dork and the cronx. Right next door to teens. 😂 near crooklyn and stagnate island.
How is this channel so small 😮 great vid!
Great video....where is the "NEXT PART"? I searched your channel and will now do a search using the title of this video. I've lost count of the number of times I've sailed into New York. No one gives much thought to the "Port Authority." To most it is an ubiquitous entity assumed to control shipping, cargo and passengers. XoXo
Very good work
Subscribed. ❤
I see that you have a bunch of car videos but this content here, definitely my favorite video so far. Why don't you have more subs?
Excellent documentary.
I still to this day think they should rebuild them and make them larger than ever. 1950 feet tall and 60 feet wider on each side making them the largest buildings in the world and some of the tallest. The same number of windows and steel columns going across, except each window and steel column 6" wider, which would equal out to 60 feet wider on each side and about 600 feet taller. And put them in a different location I think. Like just over the Brooklyn Bridge road along the east side. And instead of a 360 foot antenna, put a 600 foot antenna on top each tower, which would top off at 2550 feet tall! This can and definately should be done!!
I agree, except antennas on Both towers would not have a Roof Observation Deck :/ on the other
@@mrandrossguy9871 Yeah your probably right. But either way, they would be outrageously awesome sites to see. Let's just hope some day it happens. The city needs them. They were a huge part of what made the city what it was and what better way than to bring them back bigger than ever. Especially with how much larger buildings now are compared to 50 years ago. 1750-1800 foot range in height, 60 feet wider, around 150 stories!! And right on the opposite side of 1 World Trade Center, just over the Brooklyn Bridge freeway would be a great spot if you look at it from the Empire State Building view. Also with the Brooklyn skyline expanding, that wouldn't be a bad spot either for the future. Just look at the beautiful new 1100 foot tall tower that's there. I loved Trumps idea, it's just too bad the Port Authority turned it down.
Pretty sure the Empire State Building is on the west side of 5th Avenue between 33rd and 34th Streets, occupying the space the Waldorf-Astoria was in before it moved to the east 40s. I didn't realize they just got picked up and placed in opposite spots...
You are right.
Thanks
A really ace video. Pictures and stories around the World Trade center twin towers as I've never heard of or seen. Thanks!
Just brilliant towers.
An amazing documentary! The WTC, although it's design was simple and had few details, really rose to an icon throughout the years.
Very interesting and informative. One observation, the narrator's voice sounds almost mechanical. I hate that I have to ask, but is it auto-generated somehow? Either way, good work!
Would love to watch more than half but had to stop watching because you say a few syllables, micro pause, say a few syllables and it sounds like one of those robot narrators.
This is so true. Reminds me of the terrible narration of Lore podcast.
This! There’s a T in Manhattan, not a D for instance. And Canal Street is “CUH-nal” not “CAN-ul”
Reminds me of my speak and spell when I was a kid
Your mom is a robot
Okay I thought I was the only one
Low end EQ is extreme.
So basically, the greatest architectural achievement in the US in the 20th century was just property speculation
Here's some feedback after having watched half the video:
-I'm feeling lost in the timelines, it ~feels~ like narration randomly jumps times and eras, it's hard to mentally navigate and create an internal map of what's happening and where. perhaps, a visual cue showing a year what's being currently talked about world help?
-At some points of the video, it feels like a steady stream of seemingly slightly related fact and numbers are just being thrown at me. These guys operated X hubs, had N of that, Y of these, etc. It's hard to follow and is confusing.
Overall it feels like a documentary that would be shown in a class: a well made but uinspired product.
I'll also say, that I'm not familiar with the history of either of the states of NY nor NJ, not do I live in US.
Cheers.
Yes. Also the prononciations drove me nuts, especially “Manhaddan.” “Uncerdain.” “Seri-ez.” “Taggled” instead of “tackled.” Etc.
@@sigsin1 He pronounced "esplanade" as "esplonDAY" also. That cracked me up. He also reads like every word is its own sentence. "Manhattan. Was. Originally. Settled. By. The. Dutch." That drove me insane. With a little work on the voiceovers, this could be a huge channel though.
voice-over was just clumsy and so needed a mic filter, why do good doco makers forget to use microphone filter?
Not to mention the presenter's narration is choppy af
Very nice documentary, I like that you focused on the bureaucracy and not so much on the tragedy, obviously the tragedy is important to remember but I don’t like watching a documentary and then being depressed at the end, like watching a video on the titanic’s construction and then they spend the last 15 minutes discussing the sinking
Please make a part 2. I’m a Yamasaki fanboy. I want to see him praised.
I wish. I. Could get. Through. More than. Five. Minutes of. This. Narration style. Because I. Was very. In. Terested. In. The topic.
Yes. Oh, and "MAN-HADDIN"
Over and out R2D2!
No human emotion whatsoever, definitely A.I.
Where is video 2?
Love how it said “redidental” lololololol
the AI voice makes this almost unbearable
The original World Trade Center was so damn big, it really got its own zip code.
@Dougie YT: I saw a picture in a Germany newspaper years ago depicting the twin towers of the World Trade Center from the late 1980s and in front of them the twin towers of the German bank in Frankfurt, Germany. The latter are really big buildings by German standards but how small they looked in comparison to the World Trade Center!
@@sharegreats2157 Wow, that’s awesome !
Big and ugly. Never liked those looming boxes.
I miss the twin towers
Is the narration carried out using a text-to-speech program, or does it simply sound naturally robotic?
Who's the robot voice?
Ooohhhh Wall Street!!!!
I walked through blood and bone on that day, looking for my brother.
Damn did you find him?
@@BLUE_OCTOBER-TRIX He was in northern Canada.
@@lucasomalley
That’s good, I’m glad he was OK. That must’ve been a crazy incident. I remember my mom waking me up. To what was going on. Fortunately, me and my family. were in Illinois at the time. It was crazy to watch on TV however. I saw the second tower get hit live. I told my mom “we are at war. This is no mistake”. I hope you have a blessed day brother. God bless you and yours.
Is there a part 2?
Putting up the buildings was the easy part. It’s all the scheming that takes time.
Matatan__________&&(".🤔.")&&__________Ribirin, HS,
This is really awesome documentary very well done,
I always liked how unapologetically commercial they looked.
Am I missing something? I went looking for part 2, but couldn’t find it.
Great idea for a video but the quality of the actual image/video is terrible. The ghosting and chromatic abberatation is very distracting. Not sure if this is intentional or not. But a great idea for a video.
The thumbnail was nice
If you need someone to narrate your videos then feel free to contact me (email is on my channel about section). You have some great docs but that narration sounds a wee bit robotic.
The ironic thing is that the architect Minoru Yamasaki who designed the twin tower complex was inspired by the design of the Saudi Dhahran International airport which was funded by, built and owned by the Bin Laden Corporation. This company was owned by the multi billion dollar Bin Laden family who had a rogue son who broke away from the family. His name was Osama.
It's not iirony, it's called joining the dots. Lol
Who told you that story?
That is so not true.
🤣
Bullshit.
Yamasaki took the design from the WTC off of his building in Detroit call the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company
You are mercenary to the core, Barchetta. Folks, he’s shoving endless ads down our throats. Don’t listen to this presentation.
The design of the steel looks like Dealey Plaza. The Twin Towers were named after David & Nelson Rockefeller.
David and Nelson Rockefeller were named World Trade Center Tower 1 and World Trade Center Tower 2?
I truly miss those towers...the city hasn't been the same without it and the rest of the wtc..I love the new wtc, though i feel it's a wasted opportunity to bring the title for worlds tallest building but they should've at least built the roof to 1776 feet, spires and antennas don't count buy there's no denying it's a beautiful building more elaborate than the twins but still I love the towers more..thanx for the video u got my like and sub
Where is part 2!?!?!?!!
I never got to see these towers before they were destroyed, still gets to me. My mother got custody of me, so my father being a New Yorker didn't even help me get to NYC in the late 90s.
It's surreal to hear people say that. Being 43, I grew up with the twin towers on the tv pretty much daily in one way or another. They were synonymous with everything American, and they were more iconic than the statue of liberty or anything like that.
Whenever SNL or the national news or a late night talk show in NYC came on the TV, you'd always see that skyline and those twin towers. It was just a part of everyday life growing up, no matter what part of the country you lived in, and we never could have imagined that they would be gone one day.
@@redraptor9688
I was born in 2005, four years after the attacks but I grew up watching movies from my father's and older sibling's times. Many movies from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s and as a young child I always thought they were still standing. Didn't learn their fate until the 10th Anniversary when I was 6.
Even to this day seeing One World Trade Center on where the *real* WTC stood doesn't sit right with me.
Tragic sacrifice
@@redraptor9688 I was 7 on 9/11 so while I remember the day, never had been either or even remember them just being around. I was 25 before I ever stood on the grounds of the completed memorial
@@redraptor9688the start of “ Friends “ was pretty much the only way I saw them lol
When’s part 2??? 😭
The twin towers made perfect sense aesthetically when viewed from the context of the towers of the Brooklyn Bridge
I resemble that statement..😂 LOL
What's "Lower Manhadden"?
It’s next to new dork and the cronx. Right next door to teens. 😂 near crooklyn and stagnate island.
That accent: Manhadden?!
nice
wheres the other part to this?
Cool
So bummed to see that there is no Part 2! (Yet??? I hope )
Where is part 2?
Is this an AI voice? Doesn’t sound human
Yeap it's a A.I narrator
😂
nah it's a handsome man
@@FloridaMan69.Thanks
It's annoying
is Guy Tozzoli in it?
18:04 I think you mean financial backstop
18:16 I wonder if that policeman felt like as big of a dork as he looked like in that thing.
The thumbnail, why is it an optical illusion??? 🌀
Audio too bassy just FYI otherwise good doc!
Where is the 2nd Half?
Okay this is me being a syndical. Did any of The People envision Potloads of Money ever stop and think of oh I don't know The Titanic?
Glorious vessel that was so great; it was Unsinkable not even God could Knock Sink the extraordinary vessel.
How come the thumbnail was moving ? If you notice !
At 31:10...Is that the Chicago Transit Authority? Perplexed on what this has to do with The World Trade Center????
the overuse of chromatic aberration is very uhhhhh painful on the eyes lol
