[4K] One World Trade Center | 102nd Floor Observation Deck Complete Tour

[@nolang.1632]

I went up there right at the evening, through sunset, and into the night. It was so cool

[@JM_Architecture]

What a perfect time to go! The next time I visit I would like to do the same thing.

[@carsonzhang1635]

I like both the old and the new towers. They symbolize strength, peace, kindness, and happiness. That's the reason why I love them.

[@JM_Architecture]

I completely agree with you!

[@v3insoldi3r85]

New ones too modern. I really wish they built something similar to the old ones. Can never beat those ones

[@CarlitosHyperPR]

@@v3insoldi3r85 true

[@spongebobsquarepants11]

@@v3insoldi3r85 Yea the twins were good towers. But too be honest they weren’t sturdy. Unlike this building. The only thing that was keeping 5e twins up was the steel beams that’s it. That’s why it collapsed because the steel softened and buckled. The new building has Steel and aluminum I believe bolted together to keep it sturdy.

[@barneyjuniorYT]

IKRR what a beautiful building, I hope they bring back the "peace on earth" sign they had in the old wtc

[@Peggyeaton2294]

I just send today had an amazing time you it really doesn’t feel like you’re that high up, great experience though if you ever get the chance you should go ☺️

[@artemis009]

The tallest building I have ever been in is the Sears Tower in Chicago. I know it is called something else now but I grew up with that name. When I got to the top, I couldn’t get over the view. What was freaky was the glass platform that is attached to the side of the building. You stand in it and look straight down. I know it isn’t the same as being in NYC but I had in the back of my brain, tall building, planes, try not to think of it

[@Blight225]

I bet everyone in there is secretly paranoid, never forget…

[@JM_Architecture]

I know for me the thought of 9/11 was definitely in the back of my mind. But I’m very glad I got to experience this building in person, and would recommend to everyone!

[@michaellouro5020]

I was there last week and you are 100% right

[@MisterAutist]

For some reason, I thought about it, but didn't think TOO much about it. My best friend who was with me, ordered something from the cafe section, and his order literally came out to $9.11. The other person at register was like, "lucky number!" I wish I was lying, but iirc that's what my friend told me right up there.

[@JM_Architecture]

Wow! That's awesome you live so close! Yes, definitely recommend!

[@gibbethoskins8621]

It's kind of terrifying seeing almost the exact same view that the victims of the twin towers also saw before they jumped. Personally I'd feel very unsettled being in this building even though it's a lot safer design.

[@JM_Architecture]

That is a very understandable feeling. There is still the memory of what happened at this somber place.

[@ProfessionalWPNFire]

I thought the windows was too small in the old World Trade Center, but you could still look, and the new World Trade Center looks better because it has little bigger windows, so you can better look the view outside.

[@JM_Architecture]

The floor-to-ceiling windows are very nice!

[@DahlanNoto]

In the past there were open deck observation though..

[@hobomike6935]

While the old ones are iconic as far as the look of the skyline, the new one is a straight upgrade; the building is safer, sturdier, looks cleaner/better, and is generally a more pleasant and freeing atmosphere to be in. The old ones felt like "filing cabinets," and were essentially just concrete/cement rectangles. when they initially finished construction, many New Yorkers disliked the extremely plain design and called them "the boxes the Chrysler building and the Empire State building came in." This one's got a bit more flavor to it, and reflects the 2010s better.

[@justinchappe]

Are there actually office floors in this building unlike the two WTCs?

[@JM_Architecture]

Yes there are! Some tenants are Spotify and Condé Naste

[@Flyyn_Gaming_9]

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

New York is one of the two American cities to have 100 story buildings, with the other being Chicago!

[@JM_Architecture]

[@Scot-land]

The height makes me feel sick just looking at it so i can't even begin to imagine how those poor souls that had to make the decision to jump on September 11th must of felt looking round seeing life going on below them while at the same time wanting to live but knowing it was the end how horrific

[@JM_Architecture]

I agree. I've had a similar thought. I feel for all those who had to experience this.

[@Noodlyk18]

It's something a lot of people don't consider, but I just wanted to add that the jumpers didn't all make a conscious decision to jump. We'll never know obviously, but while some probably jumped because of the fire, remember that when you saw a couple people at a window, there was a crowd behind them trying to get air, it's likely a lot of them got pushed because of the crowd movement, some also just slipped, tried to climb down, and so on. I don't think it was a conscious choice in most cases, even in the cases where it was, I don't know if I could call survival instinct a conscious choice. Not trying to correct you or be a jerk or anything, I just had this realization while rewatching footage last week, and just figured it could be worth keeping in mind how those poor people ended up jumping.

[@williamcody9063]

I recently came to the realization that the people who made the “choice” to jump, only would have done so at the very last millisecond and ONLY if they were 100% certain they were going to die. A healthy mind will not let anyone burn alive. I read a study that stated the air inside the impact zone, that WASN’T directly effected by fire was estimated to be between 350 to 600 degrees. Now imagine being near the fire. People in floor 107 (almost 10 floors above the highest level of direct impact), was stating how hot it was. This whole thing made me realize that these people probably felt relived as they so gracefully fell. One thing that gives me comfort is that falling from great heights in free fall (i have), is that after the first 3 or so seconds, the fear goes away and you feel like your floating. One man said he seen a womans face as she was falling and stated how much she looked at peace!

[@TomYT67]

Thanks for the video. Appreciate it.

[@JM_Architecture]

My pleasure! Thank you for watching!

[@GirlGolden4]

I was lucky enough to go with a friend in June of 2018…the Pools were/are stunning and cathartic, and the One WTC is sleek and gorgeous. I remember seeing some crazy clips of 9/11 on TV when I was only 10, but I don’t remember much else about that day besides my parents trying to shelter me; I’ve had kind of a morbid curiosity about it; however, my parents-as well as the Internet-later answered some of my questions about what happened that day, and I appreciate their knowledge! I want to return on the 25th Anniversary in 2 years and donate a drawing I did of the new One WTC draped in an American flag-and a world map honoring international victims as well-with the Twin Towers in the background in Heaven. 💔🇺🇸🙏🏽🗽🚕🍎🎭

[@jordan_00_]

Yup I’m traumatized for life going into tall buildings from now and on cause you never know anything can happen. There were many people that were just tourists visiting north and south world trade centers for the day and 911 happened, so you just never know what can happen

@@jordan_00_ very true man it messed my head up a little

[@JM_Architecture]

[@reggiekrager5411]

​@@jordan_00_There actually weren't any tourists inside or on top of the WTC towers when the planes hit on 9/11. It was too early in the morning and the Observation Deck and the Top of the World Restaurant weren't open yet. They were supposed to open in about 30 minutes-an hour by the time the planes hit. The only casualties from inside the towers on 9/11 were people working in the offices there.

[@longwindingroad]

Is there long lines ? If you pay a guide to do this do you have to wait in line ? I want to visit here while in Newark but not sure of the best way. Help with answer please ? I will be in Newark starting on 30th.

Hello! Not sure if you're still in town but: the lines are pretty average, maybe 20-30min. I believe there are several price points and one includes skipping most of the line. Here's heir site: www.oneworldobservatory.com/buy-tickets/

[@ADING931]

do u have view facing on the ground? And in the where the twin tower is standing? i think the old wtcs observation deck is higher tok

[@Flyyn_Gaming_9]

This tower is the same height as the original north tower so youd probably be between the south tower observation deck and the rooftop one but idk

[@JM_Architecture]

this is correct! observation deck is the same height, the spire on One World Trade is now higher, topping out at 1,776'!

@@ShaguftaRiaz-tz9py amazing right?!

[@ArchyB77456]

I can see why some people are anxious about going up there being that a huge terrorist atrocity took place on the site decades ago but you have to remember that the odds of this happening ever again are very, very thin. Airport security is ridiculous now, the building itself is reinforced with a concrete core that’s so thick nothings going through that fucking thing. There are more core fire stairs in place, better emergency exit awareness and huge air con units that are capable of dissipating the smoke away from upper floors, lift engine rooms that are likely strategically in place on different floors to prevent any of them not working in the event of floors being destroyed.
