    im malaysian...
    i considered myself one of the luckiest person still alive for having an experience to set foot on both iconic twin towers when WTC are still standing..
    i went to NY with my parent for the first time in 1999 to attend my brother's graduation ceremony at NY univ..
    i still keep our family photos while enjoying the view of NYC skyline frm the obsevation deck of WTC..
    it was the most wonderful & breathtaking experience i've ever had in my entire life..
    sadly it was the first & last one for me..
    theres no chance its gonna happend again for sure..🥺🥹

      Yes, it's true that you're a very lucky person. Those towers were indeed impressive, and no one will ever have the chance to visit them again. At least you can cherish the tangible and intangible memories of that very special visit.

      Yes, it can be tried, but they are very different projects. And in any case, even though we already know what Tower 5 will be like, it's still not clear how Tower 2 will be. We'll have to wait.

    I've always thought that the World Trade Centre designed would always be a good apartment floor layout you could have at least seven bedrooms all with en suites two Kitchens a gym a library the list goes on from just having one floor or you could split them into two apartments but everyone who applies for an apartment must have training in parachuting. Maybe if you're city of world trade centres was evenly spread out probably would live in one

What happened at the WTC was extremely tragic and horrible. It's my wish that the KLCC will remain stationary and endure until the very end! I subscribe to your channel now at 1.69K ❤ 🇲🇾

      @@top4you9 Of course. But I use several. To avoid going into excessive detail, I'll mention the main ones. For CGI, although I come from 3D Studio (3ds Max), now I practically only use Blender and occasionally 3dCoat. And then, obviously, for video editing, in this case, DaVinci Resolve. And for audio, out of habit, I use Ableton, although DaVinci is more than capable, and you don't need any other. But there are many other equally good software options out there, and it's a matter of what you're used to.

    Some sources say each of the twin towers weighed around 500,000 tons each while other sources say 250,000 tons each. I personally think 500K sounds a bit more realistic but you can correct me if I’m wrong.

    • @Magnitudx
      @Magnitudx  6 місяців тому +1

      I don't have the material specifications, and I don't trust the data I've been able to find on the internet either, but based on the type of construction and what the designer was aiming for, I would bet that they were quite 'light.' No more than 300,000 tons. But like I said, this is purely speculative.

      Actually, if the measurements are as you mention, at least twice as many people would fit as in the city I propose in the video. And mind you, in the video, I've tried to be very conservative. Besides taking up a lot of space on avenues (which I could have significantly reduced), I calculated that every 5 inhabitants would have a 900 square feet apartment (which in New York City is considered a 'large' apartment).
