RARE! Nov 19, 1987 World Trade Center - WTC Twin Towers Tour - Pre 9/11 - Part 3

[@tennisguyky]

I loved the Towers. It was so brilliant of Yamasaki to offset them slightly so no matter what direction you looked from, one would always compliment the other, from some angles, the south would look taller, from others, the north would. Sad but good to remember.

[@LynxStarAuto]

Rob J actually, they were staggered to shield each other from wind.

[@Mister_Ess]

I've watched all 3 of these videos now and I'm happy I did. It was great seeing the trade center in detail.

[@ToddMcDurmont]

Thanks. I never thought much of it when I shot it. I just did it to show the hometown folks. After 9/11, it took me years before I could even post it, out of respect to those who lost their lives on and after that fateful day.

[@scottinnh88]

I'm so drawn to WTC footage Lately.

[@ToddMcDurmont]

I think it's healthy to try to understand the towers, the people and especially what they went through on that day. So many people want to forget and move on. That's fine but it's good to stop and remember those who died needlessly.

[@rosalindagarcia867]

Me too, Ive been looking at stuff on the WTC for weeks now, Its still unbelievable so haunting to me and sad.

[@rosalindagarcia867]

Thanks Todd McDurmont for the footage it helps me see a different perspective of the buildings now they are no longer there and what they were like inside.

[@ToddMcDurmont]

It haunts us all forever. It should never have happened.

[@rosalindagarcia867]

No it shouldnt. It was beyond words, I was only 17 and I will never forget it.

I live in Jersey City right near the WTC. This is a trip back to 2001! Thanks for these!!

[@katiedame6489]

I was 20 when they went down. One of the worst days of my life.

[@EskCan44]

Thank you for the documentation.

[@carsonzhang1635]

I had a crazy imagination lately, I wish I could built the twin towers and the WTC complex in a alternate dimension, in this city where they advertise new films and other features, so that I could climb on top of them whenever I wanted to. Thanks for your wonderful footage.

[@MyLife_in_aNutshell]

What If.. the eleven of September, 2001 never existed.

[@CRGMONEY]

woooo that radio interference was strrrrrrrooooooooong. that transmitter was intense! def getting a dose of low level radiation. can only imagine the one on top of One World Trade, but the way technology is now you would not even realize it unless you had a RF meter! Thank you so much for this! I was up there one month before the twins were viscously attacked by cowards, and I was too poor to have a camera or a camcorder. My grandpop passed in 1999 and he wanted to take me there so bad, so my mom took me in August of 2001 before I started school. Being 13 - 14 years old then you still are working on getting your mentallity to a more mature state, but i had the ware-with-all to pop in a VHS on SLP and hit record right before the second plane hit. I can still remember the state of complete disbelief and the "no this isn't happening" feelings, then seeing the F-16's with afterburners zoom overhead kinda sealed it. sorry for the story.

You even see a bit what was transmitted on the TV that day

[@Traumaqueenamy]

I didn’t know a camcorder could pick up tv station waves like that. That’s fascinating.

It’s because of the main antenna and the smaller tv broadcasting ones on trade center 1

[@PRRGG1]

@@ToddMcDurmont Not true. It is possible. Take the old antenna data from One World Trade for the telemundo station. Using it's ERP and pattern, you can calculate the field strength of the lobe over the old south tower observation deck. You were using an old consumer analog camera. It's works by creating an RF Field across the spinning video heads and "striping" the video tape. The consumer camera had poor shielding as the visual carrier gets into the RF amp section of the camera and takes over. As you pan in the video, you can literally "hear" the isolation null created as your body isolates (or at least reduces the TV signal) getting into the camera. I find this portion of your video VERY interesting and a GOOD lesson for electrical engineering students.

3:20 that buzzing noise is annoying.

[@ToddMcDurmont]

It that's a complaint, then deal with it. The buzzing is from communication transmissions. It could not be avoided. It typically happens around transformers and communications antennas. It's called induction. Look it up. Take a look at this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp2ohmiYmNCYZrc They are on the north tower. There is a lot of radiation, hence the buzzing.

[@airaero5473]

I took the video to show all the hometown folks all about the big city. So it's sight-seeing and a tour. I just bought the camera so I was no Scorsese. I was learning on the fly. Look at the rest of the videos. I started at 53rd and 3rd and ended at the World Trade Center.
