I just love watching stuff about these beautiful towers. its so so sad wat become
David Rockefeller built those tower to have people kill and trap in those tower. The US Gov was behind this too.
@@mrhighway Tighten that tinfoil hat on your head.
@MOZZYTHE1ST Conspiracy theories: Making morons feel as if their smart.
@@Spunky1991 Steve Irwin: "Now, this beauty is what's known as a 'dumbass conspiracy theorist'! Just look at this gorgeous creatcha!".
so they had the 70's version of google at the front desk. nice
Yes. At the time, this was cutting edge technology.
Other than the watermark, I really appreciate you preserved this piece of history.
Ahhh, back when the only conspiracy theory was the JFK assassination....
LOL, if only that still was the only one, I can't stand the conspiracies now
TheSpogNYC Which, as it has now been confirmed from declassified material, isn't a conspiracy theory anymore. As is in fact the case with most so-called conspiracy theories over time.
And the paul is dead conspiracy
No there was always conspiracy theories starting with the beliefs of God
It is sad to look back on this, and know that justice still has not been served to those responsible for all those that died on 9/11!
who said he was killed? exactly!
proof anyone? exactly!
Oh that's right they dumped him in the ocean. Who? They are all dead now! exactly!
Humans are fooled very easily.
But it is very hard to get them to understand or admit that they have been fooled!

wraithchild, what did Bin Laden have to do with it? Even on the FBI's most wanted, it said nothing about him having to do with 9/11.
+MichalGS2013 The 911 attacks were not mentioned in Bin Laden's description because they aren't what got him on the most wanted list. He was already on that list before 911, because of the Nairobi bombing.
Who says it was even Bin Laden? It was clearly an inside job of some sort.
wraithchild G if you believe that then you're a moron
I have computer created photographs of my two sons taken in the World Trade Centre in 1977. We are from New Zealand and my eldest son is now 49 and his brother 47.
An amazing video sad but in this video the heart of Ńew York lives on God bless all who lost their lives on 9/11 😢 thank you for sharing
Love watching these kinda videos where people are shown doing random office work not scripted videos
Wonder if any people in this 1977 video still worked there on 9/11/01.. Sad
Jason Byrne I'm sure quite a few of the janitorial staff and lobby workers were.
I would say so if a person can work at Walmart for almost 30 years then I’m sure there were some people there and I’m sure they knew that building inside and out .
I knew a guy who worked at Pizza Hut for 35 years
Possible if he use to work for the Port Authority
Roko Camaj, a window washer, worked at the WTC from 1973 until 9/11 2001 where his last known location was on the 105th floor of the South Tower after it got hit by flight 175; he subsequently died during the collapse, possibly still on the 105th floor.
thanx a lot for upload !!
You even get a slight view of the Hudson/West side highway from the WTC lobby (blocked by the construction of the WFC complex in the mid-80s) at 4:21
Interesting archival footage and historical visual document of the original *WTC*
Thank you for the upload. All these films have added value since the Center's tragic destruction.
*SANCHO O'DELL MEDIA Ltd*
I've watched documentaries all my life but this would turn anyone off
Why the huge "Historic Films" and numbers distorting this great footage?
So that the cunts that put thosr watermarks there can earn money
I mean, they own the footage. So it’s their right to do that.
Awesome documentary.
in all that time...wonder how many personal relationships were formed, how many business deals were finalised...all those people who had there first day at work there...the Christmas parties...the promotions...the retirements...the dreams...
where can i read about former employees that used to work there? can you recommend me a forum at least?
1977
Sounds like Dick Cavett doing the voiceover work.
Love it!!!
Magnificent!!!
Nobody in this video had even the slightest idea of what Horror would happen 24 years later
I love seeing 4, 6 and 6 World trade in videos, very rare 💜💜
Not a computer (well maybe one) - not an iphone - not a selfie stick in sight! GOOD GOD
the steel shown in this video now is a high-tech battleship made to fight back
Music makes it sad damn.
All opportunistic =/
Bless all 4 ever
very cool,
Cool show but sad in same time. 😥
But by 2001 though, it wasn't really needed anymore, and most of the international trade companies had moved out for investing companies.
Jude Law computing technology came such a long way, that the center's original purpose was no longer so important. A shame in a way. It was perfect for its intended role. Building 6 was still a customs house on 9/11 though.
Stix N' Stones yeah I really liked the original more, I never got to see the OG but I wasn’t even a year old on 9/11
Stix N' Stones I never even knew there was a plan to rebuild a original version? I remember seeing people saying that somehow it's disrespectful to rebuild the original because the attacks would be forgotten, I think that building a original style would make it harder to forget. I've always been fascinated with the WTC complex, I want to see New York some day.
@Gus W I think the new tower is an insult to NYC and it's once iconic skyline and it's a betrayal to the city and the whole country. It is a semi-phallic, mishapen eyesore that more fittingly belongs in Singapore or Dubai.
I wouldn't be surprised if the NY Port Authority decided to demolish the WTC towers by this point (had 9/11 not occured, RIP to all those who died, it would've been an archaic eye sore that would've better fitted in 1996's "Romeo and Juliet's" Verona Beach than the futuristic looking buildings of Manhattan today, particularly after the WFC complex disturbed the Hudson riverside skyline).
it's sad like 23 years later it was destroyed and some of those people in the video who probably was there on 9/11 did/ didn't survive
Why is the music muted? Smh
maybe copyright i guess?
Get rid of the clock I will watch and press like
Can't you remove that overlay?
Question: Have emergency exit strategies been improved since 9/11 ? IS there a way of being able to rescue more people?
Tragically, it took the deaths of over a thousand people from the Titanic to change laws as far as communications and life boats regulations. (Enough room for ALL on board. ) Either on purpose or by accident, people still died needlessly.
Fuzzy Bunny Slippers the new building has wider stairways (double width) encased in many feet of bunker grade concrete. The fire department has its own redundantly powered elevator to quickly reach the floor of a fire, plus their own staircase so they don't have to fight the flow of workers escaping. The glass is military grade, inches thick.
Is there a certain song this music Is? Or was it made for this
😍😍😍
Just think, if they had made the buildings stronger instead of using cheap, light-weight construction methods never before used in the USA, thousands of workers could have escaped the raging inferno and only a small fraction would have died on 9-11-01. The Empire State Building was hit by a plane and yet it survived.
j3m1f8 you Fucking fool,it was blown up by Israel,bombs in all three buildings,vaults left empty,companies fraud and criminal cases stopped by destruction of evidence, millions made from the destruction,profit and war of land for Israel.
Oh, so Israel was in on it. Thats adds to the long list of conspiracies that I have read. Get a life dude. This is why people don't believe this junk.
It's easy to say that now. Building them "lightweight" allowed them to be built at all. Light trusses cost less to transport and lift to such heights, and granted flexibility against wind and earthquakes. They were easier to remove to install local tenant stairways and the like. The fireproofing was definitely subpar though.
The new building is solid as a rock. But look at the cost. That's why there's no building 2 and won't be for years, maybe a generation. I don't fancy the new building in an earthquake. It's so heavy its weight would act against it.
dave schall I hope you know how ridiculous you sound.
It wasnt a jetliner that hits the empire state building. But I do agree that the Empire State Building is probably built better.
3:02 '77 woman asking Google's equivalent of the time.
I was -13 years old in 1977.
Me too.
It does not make any sense to have it there.
The watermark overlay is too distracting. A shame, would be a cool video, I'm sure.
25 k people worked in each tower.
Audio?????
What month and date was it in 1977?
Who would've thought that 30 some years later Terrorists would knock them down flying a Boeing 767 into their facade.
1:00 were elevators new or something? 9 different shots of an elevator is kind of pushing the limit of elevator cinematography lol i was on the edge of my seat watching them all slowly ride up and step off
Lena K Escalators* and yes they were pretty new in the early 70's
EZ omg I totally called them elevators 😂
I was born in 1977
Be OK if that big watermark and numbers were edited out 😴
0:11 spooked the fuck out of me
Let's see if you know this one Landis productions
1977 year,... 50 000 work on the world trade ? .. In 2001 die 2753 ? ...
Its all odd?!
simple but great looking twin towers i'm from pakistan and i wish to go at nyc
The guy with the white hair in the white beard did you say Jim I'm pretty sure that's what you said dude
They will never pay for what they did, until they meet God, in person. You can ask forgiveness and receive it, but you still pay for your crimes. All those life's taken, but not just their life but any children they may have had, at a later time. You will pay, and I do believe we know who you are. You can be sure that God knows......
WTC 1977
After 1993 should have restricted access to upper floors
Damn them girls were shiny back then, and no spire.
yup no kidding some of the girl are attractive too
Not rebuilding them has been cowardice.NY will never be the same.
They looked really dated by 2001
Was that obnoxious watermark truly necessary?
The Twin Towers were honestly probably the biggest mistakes in the modern industrial architecture business. Back in the 70's, they were in massive demand because nobody nor did industry have any other means of travel, thus the World Trade Center was beyond what New York needed. But by 2001 they were largely emptied because industry and people had developed other means of trade or industry thus I'd say if they were left standing by 2007-'08 during the crisis? They would've probably been maybe around 54% emptied because of how many industry companies practically died.
If 9/11 didn't happen? I couldn't see the Twin Towers having a much longer future. The advent of the internet and as the NYC skyline warpped around much more modern designs I'd say that people who said they were outdated in the '80's should've awaited until 2001. Although they are a marvel because people see them today as amazing, innovative, man made creations I saw the lobbies and the offices before 9/11 and I thought one word "tacky". Love the simplistic looks, but it was sadly becoming vastly degraded in quality and in need. This maybe distrubing but on 9/11 there exists a video right below the WTC on fire during 9/11 with the music playing and while I was hearing the massive "THUMP" of people striking the ground, all I could say was "Jesus this music is such outdated elevator music, no wonder everybody jumped". It was a morbid joke but honestly it's a Billy Joel song transfered to a elevator tone alongside the Bee Gees. Not two musicians who deserve to have their music degraded to the quality of an outdated plaza next to a pair of useless trade offices.
When Larry Silverstein bought the World Trade Center from the Port Authority, he was planning on renovating it throughout the rest of 2001 and into 2002 and 2003.
what would happen to the towers after 2001 is an interesting topic
What are you smoking and where do I get it
@@crowmigration8245 hahaha
I hope the people who ordered the destruction of these iconic marvels can one day find peace within themselves so that they never do something like this again! God knows who they are 🙏
2:58 70s google :D
They said 50,000 people working there but the news keeps on saying some 3000 were dead when it's actually probably 25,000
Most people got out below the impact zones.
I find it weird that in 77 there were 50000 people working there. I was always told the towers weren't fully leased till the late 80s.
The planes hit high enough up and before a fair amount of people arrive for work. Also, there were other towers in the complex as well
:'D
I am kind of still glad we are a little over the crow bar age help people think to keep some feet on the ground. The tower part is sad but many socialist countries with a capitalistic view only on top and how most of the jobs built up described of time period of extensive brick and mortar well usually just crowbar. However don't disagree that was sad. Next it's tiny robots and how people are acting more robotic you can tell that if that is their only job they will start to build like it and then act with it.
Only a Missile can pierced through thick steel and concrete
And they came down by demolition. Fact.
Lmao it's the Naudett bros footage BEFORE tampering !!!! EXACT SAME FOOTAGE AS BOTH "plane strikes" !!!!!!! BUSTED!!!!!! LOL. ( LOVE U POTUS, LOVE YOU JFK Jr, LOVE YOU Q+TEAM!!!!!!!! ❤❤💕❤💕 WWG1WGA (( Q+TEAM: YOU+ARE+GENIUS !!!!! ))
