Twin Towers - Before One World Trade Center
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2012
- Before the One World Trade Center spire dominated the New York City skyline there were the Twin Towers. Every part of the city was a showcase for the towers. Osama bin Laden knew the importance of the towers and how they stood as a symbol of American success and prosperity. September 11, 2001 they became a target. Thousands died when the buildings collapsed. The new spire stands at 1776 feet as a statement of American resolve.

Without the twin towers New York’s skyline just seems incomplete may all the souls who died due to the events of 9/11 rest in peace
They really could have built em. They argue they couldn't because of where they fell and because it would hurt and remind of that tragic day, everyone thinks we should have.
@@nordicwarrior2176 dude they were so tall the didn’t do anything to derserce it
@@nordicwarrior2176 And anyway they didn’t want to rebuild the twin towers because of how many people died so it was so hard to rebuild them because it would be hard for people to look at them knowing that the original exploded due to plans
And New York skyline is never the same :(
I know it’s fucked up
My father worked in the South Tower, and in it’s footprint I was raised. Spending countless days there, at the toy store, buying all the Thomas toys.
Finding it hard to believe even 17 years later that they’re gone. They felt permanent, and that was the skyline I long to see. Their presence and absence is forever felt. Those towers were so cool, man. I can’t even describe how I feel watching this video, sad, very sad.
Well damn
The towers made New York look so beautiful
Enforged New York lived and worshipped those towers, and we can't rebuild them?!?!?!?!?
88mroux Actually no. Most New Yorkers wanted the Twin Towers back, but fuckin Larry Silverstein and his company chose not to.
but now they destroyed it over money and im pissed they did that alot of lives lost because of that
Enforged yes, god bless their souls, god bless usa, fuck shit trump. military forever.
88mroux everyone wanted the twin towers back. But the regular people opinions didn't matter. All about politics.
My biggest regret in life was not visiting it when I was in NYC with my dad on the saturday before that happened (saturday 8th 2001) when i was five years old. We were in NYC for the day. My dad had always been insisting that I had to visit the twin towers with him sometime. It was the afternoon and after a late lunch, he again asked me if I would go visit it with him. I told him I was too tired and didn't feel like waiting in line for tickets to go to the top, but I promised him that I would go with him the next saturday. I still feel so bad to this day for not fulfilling that promise and I deeply regret not going. I still have a vivid memory of looking up at those massive buildings from the street and trying to take a picture with my tiny polaroid camera, but being frustrated because I couldn't fit both if the buildings together in the frame. I really wanted to go to the top, and I seriously contemplated it for a while, but I ultimately decided I was too tired and wanted to go home, thinking that I would be able to go the next week. I started the next week at kindergarten excited to go visit it the next weekend with my dad, and he bought us tickets in advance so we wouldn't have to wait on line. But by tuesday, both buildings vanished. I would give anything to re-live that moment of looking up at those beautiful buildings.

Pathetic
@ Sure, whatever she says. Countless of videos on this platform already debunk your claim. Just go and watch them.
@ That the outdoor observation deck on the South Tower not being magical, which it was. You were 1360 ft. in the air - that was a magical view. Like I said, you can see on this platform the magic of the outdoor observation deck further.
Thats sad and I feel bad :/
R.I.P people in the twin towers 🇺🇸
Sad sad sad stupid terriosts
Respect I come from France 🇫🇷
Respect iam from Argentina
Except Jewish
And the commercial jets.
My dad was in there im so sad now at least I still have my mom and the rest of my family rip daddy
Condolences to your dad.
You have my deepest sympathy for your Dad's passing.
+olga granovskaia You have my sincere condolences.
Show some gratitude with the people that expressed their condolences for your loss, because you are being too cocky and harsh for your lack of answer with them and that's classless.
Condolences to your dad
Those were some amazing towers
+88mroux I really hope they come back one day but that will never happen, those towers were just too majestic compared to the new one
***** I sure hope they return but too much stands on the way, Lower Manhattan still needs those two towers.
+Speedgames Misterpopo not twins though
+TumblrJoe oh no we lost to them the moment they got through airport security and yes by not rebuilding them we are basically showing them they won
+BenavidesJorge They could build them at a another place but i highly doubt it.
They were a symbol of New York. Every time I see the new tours I imagine the old ones beeing there
the old towers looked better than the new one. Who agree's?
i agree
Lucano67 No no no... before One World I heard you guys hated the boxy look of the old towers
Lilroc125 Is life You usually ignore things until they're gone. When that thing is no longer there, people start to miss it. And that's exactly what happened with the Twins.
Hm
There are 7 new towers same number just 5 and 2 are still in the making
Those buildings and the thousands of innocent victims that perished with them will forever be missed.
Kim Bheazley The american people wanted revenge. Look up Dresden in WW2, RAF completely fire-bombed the city towards the end of the war, Churchill ordered it, history tells us now there was no real strategic value obliterating it, but its an eye for an eye im afraid....and then some
Gears Patriot don't even waste your time, some ppl will argue with you till the death. Have a good night.
Kim Bheazley listen, I'm here for the sheer beauty of the video and reminisce of the iconic towers that I've watched my whole life and remember the thousands of ppl that perished with them and that's it. I'm not interested in a argument, so have a great night.
who ever took all those lives don't give a shit about human lives only fucking paper
@@deletedchannel9945 Funny when you mentioned US war crimes, they did it for revenge... Typically US ...
why am i so obsessed with the towers???? smh
Jacquelíne R. Baj Because we can't visit them. 1WTC is pretty impressive but it's missing a twin. Sigh.
Yeah.... Me to
Cause their gone..human nature to miss and think about things when we don't have them
Cause u want to get into and airplane and fly into them. It’s ok 90% of people here are thinking the same thing
t@t
R.I.P. Twin Towers
+Midnight Soldier I'm american and I question the official story. Not all Americans are the same, you know.
I am Czech republic
88mroux yes
Well the won't rebuild to bad so sad.
It was a sign of cruel American Occupation of the the contemporary world..... I am glad they are no more.... But do pray for the victims. Couldn't it have been done on a holiday???? At least innocent lives would not have been lost then
I lived in a apartment right beside the towers.I was sleeping when the first plane crashed.Then I heard a loud boom which woke me up.I left the apartment with everyone else.My family who lived in Canada at the time called me asking if I was ok.A few weeks later the Military avirred to our apartment.We were told that we had 5 minutes to take the stuff from our room.Even though they cleaned it up it there still was fog and a smokey smell.there was debris everywhere I got my stuff and moved to another apartment.I will always remeber that day.(sorry for my bad spelling)
else.My
They should of rebuild the Twin Towers, but they didn't... I never had the chance to visit them. :(
#RebuildtheTwinTowers
Lord Kacperov me too! That makes me really sad.
Lord Kacperov I was two when we lost them. I too wish I could've went and had a tour of the astonishingly gorgeous buildings 😢
Well the won't rebuild to bad so sad.
James stfu your probably some Muslim who doesn't care but to make the people who wanted the towers back feel like shit
I love to see pictures of The Twin Towers, but there is an overwhelming sadness at the same time....
Yes, I have the same feeling. It's sad to know that they're gone now, but it makes you feel happy to see them before they were attacked by stupid terrorists.
Sadly, I never knew they existed before 9/11
***** same here. In fact, I didn't even know what they were or what they looked like until about last year, since I'm only 14. And I had to research them myself, because no one told me.
this brings me great sadness because I was in the north tower as a 13 year old with my cousin in his office on the 83rd floor just 1 week before the attacks
Love you twin towers you will never be forgotten
+88mroux yea your right
End with a flag made me cry so much. Most beautiful buildings in the world! Who thinks they should have been rebuilt?
How could some one dislike this video!?
Anthony Olson they're part of Al Qaeda
Maybe the video made them cry, their eyes got blurry, and they accidentally hit the dislike button
they realised there own government was responsible.
maybe they just don't like the twin towers. because they're ugly.
ha ha ha I don't think they're ugly they're just simple
My grandfather worked in the north, he was one of those people who jumped, at least that’s what my family told me. I was barely a year old when I met him, but I do remember him somehow(I honestly dunno how). I miss you, grandpa. Never forget.
These towers made New York look the best😭
Is it wrong that i'm crying a little bit? :(
Lol not really. A lot of people may get emotional from this, especially if they lost someone in the towers.
It is by no means Strange , Odd or Weird Kas ....... I'm also tearing up with this Video and this is March of 2016. 😢
These Towers were so Magnificent in size and became such a recognizable symbol to Everybody when thinking of New York. And then when they fell ...... these Twin Towers became a symbol of Strength , Hope and Love ... as we all tried to " Pick ourselves Back Up " and show the world that the Plan to weaken this Country by Evil and Terrorist Acts ..... only proved to do the Exact Opposite.
I personally didn't know anyone who lost their life on that Day , yet like so many others .... it FELT like I did.
May we ALL Never have to experience something like that Day in September .....and for those who lost Family on 9/11 😢 ..I can only pray that with Time ... the pain has begun to Ease and the memories of your Loved ones Stay Bright.!!
I got goosebumps and was teary watching the video too. Pictures of that day still make me so sad, 15 years later. Our country lost many good people and a little of its innocence due to cowardly terrorists.
+Trevor S shame bush would kill so many people and destroy beautiful towers for money power and oil
+southwriter yes he did, wake up
Image the workers in there working at the time of the recording
Gassy Beats imagine 😳
New York is crap without twin towers
I strongly agree.
Giorgi Ruxadze Don't forget the Empire State
but empire state still exists (hope no one wants to hijack it)
Never been there. But wanted too! It will never be the same! I live near Chicago. We couldn't do without Sears tower! I remember 9/11. My boyfriend/ now husband. He was working downtown Chicago. They thought Chicago would be a hit. Everyone had to evacuate. Terrible day.
They just redesigned the 2 World Trade Center tower and I am very disappointed they should have stuck with the previous design. But this video makes me wish they could have rebuilt the twin towers
Im a Canadian and was really young when this happened and didn’t really understand it but looking at these god like structures now thinking how hard to believe they’ve been gone this long it really hit you hard. R.I.P to the towers and the many victims inside
Omg I live in NY and this was 4 years before I was born I haven't seen the twin towers in real life but I love going to the twin tower museum.😭😭😭😣😣
P
I was born 2 years after it happened
I was born mid 2005
I was in New York the very first time, 4 months before 9-11.
When i watched the towers fell on tv, i was chocked and disbelieved of what happened. But when in came back exactly 10 years after my first visit to NY and visited the place were the towers once stood.... I could really feel the sadness of all the people who died on that dreadful day 😥
Never forget 9-11.... never forget....
i was born in april 2003 1.5 yrs after 9/11
The beauty of the twin towers lies in the detail that during day they'd seem like towers with vertical stripes and at night they're transformed into towers with horizontal light stripes
The ending with the flag waving had me in tears. I hate that this happened to my people. I hate that the New York city skyline is missing these beautiful and breathtaking towers. As a friend said it feels like the skyline was castrated 😭
Amazing tribute,1 wtc is good,but it will never beat the old ones,GOD bless America
N.Y. Skyline never be the same without Twins.....so sad. thanks for video.
The Statue of Liberty is tiny as hell compared to those.
She is still beautiful though.
As much as i like the new trade center. To me, The Twin Towers will always be a symbol of New York city. It's a shame that i will never have a chance to gaze my eyes on these beautiful towers.
....And one day everything changed😢. When twin towers were attacked I felt as if someone attacked my home😭😭..
The towers don't that nice.
A very very very sad day. Never going to forget that day
TheMeShow 123 i know right
TheMeShow 123 you wasn't even born when that happened???
papa jhon u duh no boi
TheMeShow 123 looked at your vids dumbass.
TheMeShow 123 no response I could see why.
Nice tribute to the twin Towers
Thank You!
The twin towers will forever be in our minds. I have never been to New York City before, my only window into how it looks like is through videos and pictures. Until I see nyc with my own eyes, it will feel like these two great structures are still standing.
Well I hope one day you can go to NYC it's an amazing place but it's not the same with out the twin towers all we have is the one WTC and it doesn't look good in the New York skyline.
+diego moncayo I agree. But the twins were also hated when they were built and we grew to love them.
+diego moncayo i think they do fit in the skyline. though the twin towers would be at most best suited. soon the new world tade center complex will be finished.
It's sad that they r gone
dont worry new yord still has twin towers, its the time warner center and its 755 feet tall
The good old days… I hate everything now, I miss the 80’s-90’s
Twin towers before Larry Silverstein
O
"Where were you Larry on 9/11 ?" " I was ummm ahhhh ummm ahhhh ummm ahhhhhh home ""
BINGOOO😉but these F****** SHEEPLES🐑 will never comprehend this nefarious matter😩sad life!
@@brettwilkinson9529 CALCULATING THE BOARDS COLLECTIVE PROFIT 📊😈
I've never understood the condemnation of Silverstein. It's all based on the misinterpretation of 2 words - pull it. That's it. Makes no sense. Looks like you guys are just jew haters.
they.. they look so beautiful. wish the attacks never happened new york, and america would’ve been different.
Wen something is destroyed, replacements is never the same
I was born in October 2001, and watching this makes me so sad that I'll never be able to see them, they were such beautiful towers :(
Most beautiful video of the Twin Towers I've ever seen.
It's a 9/11 memorial video minus all the burning and screaming. We've seen their destruction too many times now, it's about time we just solemnly and fondly remember them in their days of glory. :(
The old towers were so beautiful
That is a really nice tribute
I loved seeing the floors lights on at night. T looked like a maze or labyrinth of some kind. Each light a story
Thanks I hate it
+KellyWurx Your video is absolutely *amazing* and wonderful in detail. Although your description is not correct and outdated. The spire on One WTC has still *not* been finished to this day in regards to the cladding that leaves it entire exposed. Also, rebuilding the Twin Towers would have shown the *perfect* resolve by restoring a symbol that was lost. Thereby paying tribute the victims and moving on in the right direction.
Back in a simpler time
Still the most stunning buildings ever built in the world, I've shivers up my spine every time I see them...
What a beautiful tribute to the people and buildings. I know I’ll never forget.
Omg with the twin tower is a beautiful skyline!
Tower number 7 could not take the loss of towers 1 and 2. So it collapsed in sympathy.
I'm not American but I was lucky to go to NYC before the tragedy happened. It was 1999, I went and got to see these beauties at night. Every time I see old vids or pics of the twin towers my heart breaks
I cry for This building
I miss the good old days when the towers stood up
Next year on April 4th would be their 50th birthday, the twin towers were a symbol of America, especially after 9/11. The twins will never be forgotten
It tears my heart apart how missing these buildings is like missing a person such as your mother, or father, grandfather, or grandmother. How we sometimes taken them for granted while they were here with us, and miss them when they are just a memory. RIP to all those that lost their lives that horrible day, and God bless all their families, and friends as they still hold this heavy weight in their souls for many years...
I was born on the same year since those buildings we're destroyed damn those towers we're so cool
These towers will always be way better the the new Freedom tower!
Roger that!
Agreed
They should have jjust remade the towers instead of making an entire new building
They should have jjust remade the towers instead of making an entire new building
***** Never Forget about the time there was the Eating Contest (Some People went to the observatory threw up).
The Towers are a symbol for the prosperous 90s, a strong America and simultaneously a symbol for the end of an era.
FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS !
Hopefully sometime in the future, legislation will be passed to rebuild them.
where?
+88mroux They will build a new tower next to this one. if youve seen it, its called two world trade center. the design is modern, though they cant compare to these beautiful towers. The way they lit up in the night. just majestic, but unfortunately gone
TumblrJoe welp. Nothing we can do about it. If its built there, it stays there, i like it anyways
only way they can do that is if the new one mysteriously fell...... oh nvm
+Dhru vS a stronger concrete and steel reinforced twin towers with beautiful reflective glass panels on the building. and 100m taller. that would be awesome. but sadly it would cost over 1 billion dollars.
its hard even thoe i was born 2003 and couldn't see them i love the way the twin towers looked finished building in the early 70s they were only 29 years during the attacks its a shame and i look at the towers in this vid and shed a tear just thinking only if they were rebuilt just how they were i just love the design of them and we all miss them ;( never forget.
Same man :( I was born 2003 and I wish I got to see them at least
Wow! This was a lovely montage! My grandfather called in that day (worked at Six World Trade Center on the fifth floor) he loved that place and I remember going there as a child!
Are we too poor to rebuild them or something? Most of The families of the victims said they were ok with them being rebuilt. The new tower is just so ugly honestly. I understand it represents all that had happened there but the whole point of rebuilding from the ashes is to surpass what you previously were
Right, I think people were just too afraid it would happen again for some reason, but a Terrorist attack of that Scale should still Not Rewrite History imo !
Well we can built another one but yk the anxiety.
@@mrandrossguy9871 hoax
I live in TriBeCa, Manhattan and I have TONS of photos of these towers in my bedroom ❤️
Too bad I've never had the chance to visit New York and see the Twin Towers. The new tower design doesn't match the other buildings in NYork.
Exactly. The new one looks like a cheap Chinese tower in every block of Beijing.
I agree, it looks out of place
I am Dutch. I visited New York 3 times. Every time i was amazed by these 2 amazingly beautiful towers. Let,s never forget them and the people who lost their lives. R.I.P.
Excellent composition. I especially loved the very last frame, with Old Glory waving in the foreground. Thanks for a very excellent video.
I hope all those people who died are living eternally in heaven with God. :') this is so hard to watch knowingly what was waiting for them :'( the demons who done this should forever burn in hell
Agree.
+DE405 Even the Towers are also in Heaven!
Hell would seem to good for the demons in human flesh who did this horrid and heinous act.
Far from the other side where the towers still stand in an overwhelming light and love of God, those responsible certainly find themselves in the darkest of all places. The slaughter of thousands, and for what? Nothing.
I was just 20 months old when this bullshit happened. I was in Brazil with my family when it happened and I never got to see them in person, but when I see them, I feel like I have a connection to them.
press F to pay respects
*_We Will Never Forget_*
I think they should rebuild them but make them way stronger.
And people just thought they were normal buildings...Until it happened.
*Stay strong*
I am not US citizen, I’m Hungarian. I however feel strong brotherhood with the US. The years in when the twin towers stood still feel like a paradise lost to me and every time I see them they and the memory of innocent lives lost tear my heart apart. Wish your nation to heal the wounds and become strong and proud again.
Twin towers had a class that the new one just doesn't
I have a photo of the NY skyline with the TT in my living room. Every time I get home I see it and I feel sadness and nostalgia.
like the new one but the old twins were much more striking and effective- miss the chunky silver lines they had

I LOVE TWIN TOWERS WHEN I WAS KINDERGARTEN THE TWIN TOWERS ARE IN MY HEART FOREVER AND EVER AND I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT I LOVE THE TWIN TOWERS❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤FOREVER IN MY HEART
A good high school friend of mine had visited the World Trade Center buildings 3 days before the destruction. Yep. She said when she saw the news, she fainted.
They were beautiful buildings and they will never be forgotten.
9/11/16 🙏🏼😔 never forgotten
Please tell me you mean 01 not 16...
I think he mean the day he put the comment
Hey im pointing the obvious
Lindas! O minimalismo mais imponente da arquitetura ! Sua energia ainda está viva. Saudades e tristeza , pois 11 de setembro fará 20 anos sem elas. 😥
The people who dislike are the people that crash the towers
#REBUILD THE WORLD TRADE CENTER 🏢 🏢 🇺🇸
+IS THERE A POINT But they don't belong there. Nothing can replace these Towers. #RebuildtheTwinTowers
+IS THERE A POINT Yeah, I get that people would be too scared though. But the Twin Towers just have to be taller with a classic look at the outside, but at the inside it would be much more modern. That's my opinion.
+IS THERE A POINT Wher!?
I would love to see the magnificent buildings tower of New York once more
+Tigerguy 101 yes of course we need those towers
Rest in peace for our twins and the whole people who died in that tragedy 😖🤧😭
Amazing Twin Towers:(
+Dion Morgan RIP
1:06 pause and gaze
I was born in 2004... man I wish that I had a chance to visit the old towers...
I visited NY as a Brit tourist in Sept 1999, went to the top of WTC. Incredible view. But weirdly as I looked over the edge, I couldn't help thinking how flimsy the whole structure had seemed from ground level before I went to the top.
It made me shudder .
this is by far one of the best videos on the face of UA-cam.
Thanks for posting. I miss them dearly.
K
Miss twin towers :/
I'm from Houston and New York skyline is just not the same without them twin towers, U automatically knew it was NYC when you saw them towers.
I always felt there should have been 2 side-by-side Freedom Towers constructed as an homage to the Twin Towers. The NYC skyline is not the same.
3:02 what’s that statue in front of the twin towers? The one with the man carrying that soldier. I hope it didn’t get destroyed.
King Chris A It’s still there except that you no longer see both of the towers behind it, you just see the freedom tower in the side of the statue but not going to lie I just think the old towers fit the better picture.
Wow that's really sad it makes me want to cry😔
THAT is the New York I will always remember 🗽 🇺🇸
Twin towers, looks simple, but it looks so beautiful towers
RIP the twin towers
Early 1970's - September 11th, 2001
Sucks that they got destroyed at such a premature time in the 21st century! They were modern skyscrapers, and those buildings don't deserve to be destroyed!
At least the WTC is getting rebuilt... 7 was already rebuilt in 2006, and 1 and 4 WTC have been complete and are open. 3 is still being constructed, and 2 is underway. 5 is still on hold, and they're still waiting for 6 WTC.
They fucking changed the design of 2, it looks shit now
***** 1976? but I thought the towers opened for business in '74, the public in '75 (Not to mention the north tower encountered a small fire at that time).
and besides, there are many other twin structures in NYC, such as the silver towers and Time Warner Center.
They were completed on April 4 1973
Those towers will never be rebuilt...that's messed up:-( They were so beautiful
So if it is so beautiful why won't we rebuild that architecture beauty
Giorgi Ruxadze What
I meant if half of new York loved those buildings why won't they rebuild it
Giorgi Ruxadze Oh sorry
Katrina Ewing no matter
IF there were twin freedom towers today then it would be a new look and a old vibe
What beautiful towers they were! Just subscribed to your channel!
