New York City Walking Tour (9/11 Memorial and Museum) 2021

This is a video walking tour of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in New York City. The memorial opened on September 11, 2011, and the museum opened on May 21, 2014. The memorial consists of a field of swamp white oak trees and two large, recessed pools, the footprints of the Twin Towers. The trees are arranged in rows and form informal clusters, clearings, and groves. The park is at street level, above the museum. The names of the victims are inscribed on the parapets surrounding the waterfalls. The museum collection includes more than 40,000 images, 14,000 artifacts, more than 3,500 oral recordings, and over 500 hours of video. Some of the artifacts include steel beams, damaged fire trucks, parts of the hijacked planes, and victims' personal effects. Thanks for watching! Please Like, Share, and Subscribe!

@@GentleGypsy Last time I was there was in 2002. they had a fence around where the towers had stood. for some reason I remember some excavating equipment at the bottom. no clue what they were re-building, if anything. I was only there because I had met some friends who were from Maryland and they were in the city for a couple of days on some sort of business, so we met for dinner and then one of them suggested we all went downtown. there was other people there, but all I remember is how quiet everyone was. guess that, even a year later and it still didn't seem real

[@marcyonsgard544]

Thank you for your wonderful film. I'm glad it was done in solitude, giving respect to all who perished on that horrible day.

[@GentleGypsy]

I appreciate it--thank you. And thanks for watching! It was wonderful to visit, but it was definitely a heavy and somber day.

[@kcm4511]

While I can't travel at the moment, it's nice to see this and the other videos that people post of it. I want to see it in person someday! Thank you for posting this!

[@GentleGypsy]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! You'll make it there someday, and you'll never forget it. Thanks for watching!

[@DougieYT]

Every time I pass by the memorial/site it always amazes me how I’m literally standing where two gigantic skyscrapers once stood.

[@GentleGypsy]

I agree. It's strange to look straight up and imagine them stretching out into the sky. It's hard to believe that it all came down so quickly. Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate you!

[@DougieYT]

@@GentleGypsy No problem, it feels more magical for me because I never got to see the buildings as I was born after 9/11.

It's insane to imagine that when you're standing beside the fountains you're standing where those poor brave souls had to fall to their death.

[@GentleGypsy]

Totally. It's a very heavy place to be.

[@WalkorBikeinCities]

So beautiful thanks for sharing my friend

[@GentleGypsy]

My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by!

Godbless America

[@GentleGypsy]

Amen to that!

[@mrandrossguy9871]

Nor what the Place Represented !

[@sammyo6217]

Whenever I see such a video, I find myself googling some of the names being displayed on the pools just to see a face and history behind the person.

[@GentleGypsy]

I think that's very important to put a face/life with a name. Thanks for watching!

[@StepUpMedia039]

Every single one of them mattered. The youngest was on Flight 175 and was a 2 year old girl. 😔

@@GentleGypsy Have you watched September Clues Documentary by Simon Shack? KZbin it.

[@NorthCdogg22]

I always thought it would be interesting if they played the original WTC plaza music at the pools, while I respect that it is a place of peace and somberness, those original songs would be interesting to hear there as they were so peaceful

[@GentleGypsy]

I've never heard of that. Do you know exactly what the original music was?

[@NorthCdogg22]

@@GentleGypsy I know the original songs are up on KZbin, she’s always a woman by Billy Joel and how deep is your love by The Bee Gees I believe

[@mrandrossguy9871]

@@NorthCdogg22 And they should give back the Koenig Sphere Right where it was Positioned, Now would be in the middle of Greenwich St. ! Because it's Kind of Disrespectful to have Cut through the Plaza and Basically right where the Sphere Fountain was like they did !?

[@GentleGypsy]

So sorry to hear that!

So sorry to hear that.

[@shrawanagrawal7226]

The place where water fall are made are the real spot where the actual buildings of WTC were made??

[@GentleGypsy]

Yes! And the museum is below ground where the buildings used to be. Very haunting and surreal!

[@knottiebabe]

Wow 🥺🥺

[@DougieYT]

Yes, those are the exact footprints of where the original towers formerly stood.

[@matt54656]

Yes the project was started by Osama bin Laden

[@dvchel]

9:00 What was happening over there? A minute of silence?

[@GentleGypsy]

Great question! There were some firemen, policemen, and some important-looking fellows. One of them was shaking the hands of the musicians--maybe it was some celebrity that I don't know about? A family member of one of the victims? Either way, I'm glad I stumbled upon it.

[@keenescomputerclinic]

What are the walls?

[@GentleGypsy]

Great question. Behind the waterfalls, I guess.

[@FlowBroVR]

This is a beautiful memorial! I really wanna visit lower, Manhattan to see the World Trade Center ♥️🇺🇸🇨🇱

[@GentleGypsy]

You should go! It's fantastic!

[@GentleGypsy]

Thanks for watching!

[@Gravity-ry]

I've been there

[@liammcgee]

I actually want to go there, but I don’t think my parents will let me go

[@mrandrossguy9871]

I find it Disrespectful unfortunately how they Still built Random Buildings that Represent Nothing of what was There ! What about St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church that got Flattened, or The Huge North Bridge that connected Financial Center to WTC, or the Deutsche Bank Building? Nevermind the Original 5 other Buildings !? It's miraculous the Sphere Survived and Is a True Testament And Sign, Also the Winter Garden and other surrounding Structures Amen
