Who ever came up with the word, "skyscraper" did a fantastic job. That's like the perfect word for these buildings.

@@jakub2631 Yeah, I think it had to do with tall sailing ships.

[@sanjithd3343]

Very fitting word as the sky scraper referred to the highest yard or sail on a sail ship, which were usually the tallest structures in a port city or town at any given time.

I learned about these towers through a 9/11 joke during science class when I was 8 in 2008, I’ve been fascinated by them ever since. The scale, the eloquent facade details/ interiordetails were incredible

[@MrGriff305]

This movie was a nice homage to the Twin Towers. They defined the NYC skyline in a way that young people will never understand. In fact, NYC hasn't been as popular or impressive in pop culture since they went away.

[@elloowu6293]

That's actually because shows and movies wanted to avoid the question. "Where were these characters on 9/11 and why is it never mentioned" That's why a lot of sitcoms switched from NYC to Chicago after 9/11.

[@MrGriff305]

@@elloowu6293 That's an interesting hypothesis, but it's simply not true and not even remotely an explanation for what I've said. Do you normally spread random misinformation as facts?

[@elloowu6293]

@MrGriff305 How many comedy sitcoms took place in NYC after 9/11? Vs all the sitcoms that took place there before. Even in older movies, scenes with the Twin Towers were removed for television, like in home alone 2. Not misinformation

[@tanner4280]

@@MrGriff305 you don't think an explanation about why shows avoided New York is an explanation for why NYC is in pop culture less...?

[@MrGriff305]

@@tanner4280 No. 1. I think it's a fake and baseless explanation regarding sitcoms ending to avoid discussing 9/11... Sitcoms moving to Chicago is not a known phenomenon 2. NYC only had a small percentage of overall sitcoms in America prior to 9/11 (And Seinfeld ended in the 90s, Friends ended a few years after 9/11, and it had zero relation to the terrorism) 3. sitcoms stopped being made in large numbers in ALL locations around the country in recent decades, not just NYC. 4. Movies, music, and drama shows were the primary media for NYC's fame. The movies have reduced in number relative to other places after 9/11. That's because the backdrop and cityscape of NYC is less powerful and impressive without the twins in my opinion. Having said all that, the theory about the sitcoms was just plain wrong on a number of levels

[@RadicalEdward2]

This scene did such a phenomenal job in illustrating the absolute scale of the towers ♥️

Joseph Gordon Levitt actually met the real Philippe Petit, and ( the real Philippe ) taught Levitt how to wire walk ! They went over to The 9/11 Memorial Park and Petit had Levitt wire walk between the two foundations of The WTC Foundations to get a good idea of what it was like!
