Funny how at first the Chrysler Building used to stick out above everything, and now it's pretty much buried by every building around it.
It is still incredibly tall
Time marches on.
Never Forget the Chrysler Building😔✊🏼
That's basically what's happened to every large building built before the Empire State Building. Most of the time before the Empire State Building was built, the new tallest building wasn't dramatically bigger that the previous one. But, when it was built, it was so insanely tall and wide for its time that it still stands out today.
Iambic Pentameter still there is nothing like it. Classic, like an old friend.
Seeing the Twin Towers just breaks my heart
MiQuel Quiles 9/11 good
Where
Horror for me
100th like :)
and also same 😞
Where?
I would love to show this video to a New Yorker from the 1930's.
@SEAN PETAIA same
@SEAN PETAIA he means he's gonna show this vid to a 1930's new York that is still alive stupid
@SEAN PETAIA please tell me your joking
@SEAN PETAIA he means hes going to time travel to the 1930s and show it to an yorker
Let's show it to them anyway
That Chrysler Building has seen much.
Lady Liberty's seen more, though.
COLSTER Both has seen 9/11 same with Empire State
It was time for Lady Liberty too leave. She has seen everything.
the statue of liberty also could have "seen" how many workers died or were disabled because of that chrysler building. 2 out of 5 died or were totally disabled while working on the tower... it had no security at all
They've seen France lol
I hate to see that the twins towers were there at one point then they dissapear
*I miss the twin towers so much. I live in Jersey city and every day when I look at the skyline I miss them. Who knew we could miss skyscrapers.*
@@ThomasJr It's sad they are gone but I am glad something was built there. Southern Manhattan looked so empty between 2001 and 2011.
@@dvferyance Still does. Empty voids for all to see.
Thomas JR. i do too
@Olivia Varela
: I remember seeing the Twin Towers being built. I got to visit the construction site when it was just a giant hole in the ground (and was again many years later). I remember what it was like to see those towers when they were brand new and there was nothing else like them.
2016: MetLife Building
1971: PANAM Building
what is PANHAM i was born in 2004
It was an airline, but it went bankrupt in 1991.
bennydelon oh okay thx for telling me
I also misspelled PANAM
@@ohnono3931 Pan American World Airways. went bankrupt in 1991.
the sheer brass to build the tallest building in the world at the time not once, but twice.
miss those twins
The WTC- was 100% pure NYC... Well at least we still have the Empire State Building!!!
Gary Allen don’t Jinx it
And the Chrysler Building. The two original staples of NYC.
Don’t you dare
@HearthCricket yeah they were ugly buildings. Still, extremely sad to see them go as well as the people who lost there lives.
Stormy 21 terrorists are basically extinct
The skyline is still changing now. Very interesting.
no such thing as interesx or not
no, the weird apartment destroyed the beautiful skyline bro
thats sad
@@scottc7947 I know right bro. The skyline looks awful!
@@zes3813
why are you asking questions like this here 💀
go back to benjamin’s channel
Please do a change over time in the Las Vegas strip?
Now that is a good one.
CB3474 do Dallas
CB3474 o.o
Showing the evolution of the Las Vegas stip, a giant, tacky, disney-esque nightmare does not compare to viewing the evolution of a great city such as New York!!!
MAD MOBI me too what’s your point
Chills all i feel is chills. I miss my towers
We all do
u cute
You just got out of the hole
What towers do you own
@@aatujaaskelainen3871 You can't be that dumb...
man shout out to you on this vid. I felt like I was in a time machine, amazing work.
Pleased to have been able to supply the "one small step for man" 1969 photo. Taken just before that step.
This video is great! Now I know what New York City looked like back then! Thank you! ♥️
This is absolutely fascinating and i’m stunned to see how New York looked 86 years ago.
2001: *Exists
Everyone: *Cries
5:09
This is probably the best video I have seen on UA-cam for a long while
Great job!
A job of a photography research and making a timelapse with a variety of photos!
good!
New York has always been way ahead of its time. I'm sure up until the 1940s-1950s around 90-95% of all skyscrapers in the world were in both NYC and Chicago only.
This is wonderful. New york seems more attractive in the 80s than now.
Actually, New York was very dirty and dangerous in the 80’s. Very disorganized it started to cleanup in the 90’s and progressively got better until 9/11. From then on it cleaned up its act in a steady fast fashion as it was shaken to the very core. It is wonderfully beautiful today with many high rise projects underway and planned.
Idaho fokusz
TCar dying city?
because liberals didn't ruin the city back then
There's a reason the movie Escape from New York was made in the 80s, because that's what people thought of the future of the city. It's much better now.
5:08 omg when the Towers disappeared it broke my heart. 🥺🥺🥺
Changed my mind.
Delta YT It was forced to be replaced.
@Pog luis that was a year ago, I was just a 15 yr old trying to get attention.
This is really great. Glad I could help. Interesting.
Ray Cunningham good morning
Lindora Munoz good evening
danks brother good night
ua-cam.com/video/Fuml9z2DXqw/v-deo.html Finally got round to updating this video! Check it out in the link
Answer me
funny how the empire state building was built nearly 100 years ago, up to this day, it still looks timeless.
Really enjoyed it. Great idea.
This is an incredible video. Really enjoyed it
Chrysler Building has always been my favorite!! Love these videos! Thank you!
It makes me severely sad about the twin tours
Great video of New York 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
Good job 👍👍👍 I miss the old New York. This New York today, does not feel like NYC anymore... I think New York started to lose its feel after September 11th... every year since that day, New York has felt less, and less like it used to be..
2007 looks beautiful
I was born in 2007
Me too
@@joethayer8785 and so am i?
VorzeCzYT ok cool
Hailey T same
As soon as it said south view I knew I was in for a ride
Honnestly, I absolutly not from the US (I'm from the country who helped the US for the war of US independence
Great!
You make gorgeous videos...
I really love New York City
The very very beginning of the video sounded like the beginning of back to the future
why there wasn’t 2001 in south view
Because of the atacks bruh
Bruhhhhh
That’s the reason why there should’ve been
This gave me the chills
I am a survivor from the 89th floor. And 9/11 will happen again not soon but later. I will never forget the firefighters running up the stairs and the expression on there face was we are never going to get out of these buildings alive. And the people that knew they where going to die. The picture in my mind of me and people I didn’t even know all holding hands and walking in the street crying and calling loved ones there had to be about 20 people people just grabbed each other and just walked no where to go just walked we walked 10 blocks to we all hugged and said good bye and one lady said thank you all for walking with me I just lost my husband and my oldest son! This day will never be forgotten
this is New York, we love our city and we will continue to love it.
2:13 I remember hearing that when Imagine Dragons opened with their song, “Demons” for some of the Evolve tour
BEAUTIFULLY DONE 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️💔❤️
Who else got the feels when the twin towers showed up?
TheChickenLovesTheWing Tehehehe me....holy shit that's fascinating
Me! :( I loved the Twin Towers! Greetz from Germany!
I got sad when the twin towers showed up

Be great to see the view of the west side from NJ which has changed so dramatically over recent years
6:49 jfk say that
Really? I thought it was George Washington that said it.
Alex 1218 George Washington wasn’t alive in 1962 🤦♂️
@@hectorb2579 sarcasm
Alex 1218 I don’t give f*ck
Jeffy r/woooosh
Overall I noticed lots of new, taller skyscrapers throughout the 70s
Hi, James Fox. Can you make an updated version of ‘New York: A Journey Through Time’, same for ‘San Francisco: A Journey Through Time’ because my father originated from there and see the changes in the skyline through the years. Can you also make ‘Singapore: A Journey Through Time’ because I live here and I want to see the changes through time from like Raffles period to current day?
This video is beautifull America..Hope to see you around..
Twin towers :-(
*Absolutely the most majestic, famous and iconic buildings in NY's history. They were so famous and huge, you could see them from the JFK airport like they were so close.*
wrg, any is ok
11 september we are will never forget
Ikr :(
This is a truly marvelous production and presentation.
1931 Empire state building: Ha! I tower over you scrubs!
2016 Empire state building: uhhhh
Empire State building: I fucked up.
Hatss offf to the Souls of all those who risked their lives worked at highest levels of' towers at dat era.....💐💐💐💐
Why New York City North View from Empire State Building in 2007 is taken somewhere in 2000-2002 because I saw some buildings were not seen or was under construction on the right side, is is very obvious. Fix this mistake if you remake this, James Fox.
2016 MetLife Building
1989 PANAM Building
fascinating!
beautifully done!
Amazing views, especially in 30s
That’s an impressive piece of our history to say the least.
Does anybody else see Long Island City change
1931 was a badass fucking year!holy shit those construction workers with 0 safety harness...my palms got sweaty
This video is sooo awsomeeee make more of theses also the twin brothers collapsed in 2004
No it was 2001
Amazing job!!
Greetings from Ukraine.
i keep hearing about news in ukraine , is life ok there?
@@himanshu7103 Well, if you ignore the Russian troops in our territory supporting the separatists, then yes, everything is fine xD
@@balbalblaify oh i think i can't ignore that , live well friend ,do something worth remembering .🍀
So clever and totally fascinating 😍😍. And those building workers😲😲,well done them. It's 2020 now I wonder how much difference in 4 years🤔
Nice work
Top Work 👍👍👍
Its so strange to actually see two huge skyscrapers appear and disappear...
Honestly it's prime look was probably the 40s after that it starts getting pretty jammed together and sloppy asf
Nah, 80s
That building in the middle just cant decide what color it wants to be.
Outstanding! Truly Outstanding.
Good video things like that fascinate me
Excellent video, so much history here
Нью-Йорк Сити на 1931-2016 отлично все
Remarkable history.
Your thumbnail has changed, and 5 years later, it’s still your most popular video on the channel! I first saw this in 2016.
Do you think I should remake it? I did do a 2019 updated vid but it hasn't had the same reception as the original..
@@JamesFoxTimeTravelArtist Maybe, I want you to show me more years as it goes back in time and have the same duration like the 2016 video, your 2019 version felt a bit too short and you skipped too many years
Otherwise, the 2019 version is better because I see the buildings disappearing instead of seeing it disappeared with a morph effect like in the 2016 version
@@JamesFoxTimeTravelArtist I liked your most recent video on Lower Manhattan going back in time.
And maybe do another video of Singapore going back in time, I want to see it going back in time from the same spot, and don’t skip years, I want to see how my country looked during those periods, thanks 🙏.
@@JamesFoxTimeTravelArtist I visited New York City in June 2017 as part of my US trip with my family, San Francisco is my father’s hometown where he came from, maybe you can also remake that in the style of the 2016 New York video
The Freedom tower is a combination of the Twin Towers put together! It even looks more modernized as well!
nothing can beat the twins. freedom may be more modernized but they are not the twins, which were honestly more beautiful for the skyline
I loved the music in this video!
well done!
If I went back in time and showed this to people in the 1940s in New York they would all be a huge shock
Very nice! Thanks for sharing
He should have more subs he is great!
That 2007 year where I was born in January
Angus Lee i was born in May of 2007
I was born in January 2007 too. Ironic.
I was also born in 2007 it looks like we’re we’re have a 10 year old meet up over here. When I was 10 I wasn’t watching there I had playing cafe world on Facebook .... god they were the good old days
Angus Lee so your 10?
I'm 22
new york in the 90s and 2001 was its golden age now unrecognisable
2:13, 0:35, to compare 1933 to 2016
1931..at that time that man had 35 years old(born in 1896,may be) so if he is there(Alive)... He would have 123 years Old... ☺ ❤..
40s-50s looked the best. The skyscrapers built in the 60s-80s look incredibly out of place being contrastful colours and un-ornate, they blight each view really hard.
I love this! It’s all about time
THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL.
Wow, this is a great timeline for the skyline of NY. Still seems odd without the twin towers. 😞
Here in India, we still have not matched the infrastructure of 1930s
It was so weird yet interesting goin back in time like dat like wooooooo ooh yasss
My City
Sad to see the Pan Am and Twin Towers were gone...
Woowww very very very good video....
The empire state building has seen alot of changes in new York it's been around for a long time.
2:13
What did just happen?
Ah, I remember this footage when I went to New York in 2016
These building are old af
I remember seeing this in 2019
