[@TDMTDMTDM]

So Fascinating!!!!

[@lilyunggucci]

Honestly it wasn’t until this year specifically that I became obsessed with every facet of the event despite having known about it my whole life. I was born in 1998 so I was just a little guy when this was all going down, zero recollection of it. I only remember 8th grade we started really learning more about it then my freshman year of high school we had my whole history class watching footage on the anniversary and what I recall most from that was the jokes between friends and the whispers. Most of what I’ve seen from 9/11 growing up and after that was memes and dark humor. It was never taken serious by anyone my age at the time and the weight of it all had zero impact on me as I joined in on the jokes. This year though at the ripe age of 25, i came across some HD footage that hit me like a ton of bricks and down the rabbit hole I went. I have shed so many tears the last few months for the victims and the families that I once mocked as an immature youth. The devastation is immeasurable. The towers exist to me now in a place where time stands still and life does not exist. This place that once held so much life is now gone forever. Nothing can ever change that and nothing will be forgotten.

[@RedHotMessResell]

On a less depressing note. It is so weird to see everyone in 2001 looking like it’s vintage. I mean it is now but being a kid back then I never realized the style and how much it’s changed since my childhood.

I have the same problem. After all of these years, I still can't wrap my head around the fact the both towers fell. I used to go to the observation deck a lot, back in the mid 1980s. I used to drive tour busses in Connecticut, and would bring chartered groups to the city on weekends. I spent a lot of time in the city, in those days. We would park our busses close to were the U.S.S. Intrepid is now docked. My father serviced on that ship. I went on a Dependents Day Cruise on that ship back in the 1970s, when my father was still stationed on that ship.... and I was a kid.

[@Sedan57Chevy]

I watched this play out in real time on the news like many. I've seen the footage countless times over the years. I've never seen it presented like this before. The combination of music and syncing up the footage chronological with one another... Impressive audio visual storytelling. Seeing it from so many angles, all at once, I thinks to help display some sense of scale- not just in the size of the buildings, but the number of people who were there on the ground and watched it happen with their own eyes. It was a normal day and quickly became an unforgettable moment of infamy that we will never forget. Thank you for finding such a moving way to document and share this pivotal moment in history.

[@WithDiameter]

I’m always randomly coming across videos for this, and now I understand why my grandfather was always watching World War II documentaries

I worked at the Bankers Trust (Deutsche Bank) building directly across from the South Tower. It was damaged during the collapse and eventually demolished. For someone who was in the towers everyday for my commute and as well as meetings, I was always in awe of them. They were a spectacular site. It was a horrific day, which I will never forget. RIP to those innocent people.

Amazing work. Especially the way the plaza ambience transitions; from an ordinary inner-city sound, disrupted by the twin impacts of the planes and the resulting debris and sirens, yet the music plays on diligently through it all. Almost as if the complex is trying to encourage its occupants during their evacuation in its last minutes. A last slice of ordinary life before the first collapse silences the music. Then the wails of the beacons of trapped firefighter's are all we can hear, accompanied by the ominous rumbles of the North Tower straining to hold on. When it goes, then there's nothing but the beacons. The sound of death and the ashes of a lost way of life beginning to settle. If I was to give a little constructive criticism, I'd say the roar of the South Tower's fall is a tad too long, but otherwise this is a haunting achievement. Where did you get the sound effects for all this? How long did this take you to put together? Must've been dizzying to edit, the sounds especially.

[@pre-911wtc4]

I'm glad someone was able to point that transition out which was an effect I kept in mind making this video, to literally change the complete atmosphere of the video. I got all of the sound effects off of copyright free videos on yt and combined and mashed them together to create what you hear. I started working on this at the beginning of September and kind of left it on the back burner for a month and a half jut because of my personal life and school.

What I find strangely interesting for instance, is the detail of the sound the tower makes just after the South Tower was struck. About 25 seconds after, a creepy binding shrieking sound of metal shifting occured as the building swayed back and forth. This sound lasted for nearly a minute after the South Tower was struck. To me, this sound sends chills down my spine, eerie and also just downright sad at the same time. You can also hear these sounds of booms from time to time, as these are the sounds of the floors collapsing inside the towers, not to mention the sounds of those poor souls who jumped or fell. And the sounds just as the initial collapse of each tower occurred, just truly heartbreaking.😢

Giving how much the noise is heard, it can be assumed that the person walking around filming was walking around dead firefighters who were covered in dust and debris, in fact if you watch N.J. Burkett's footage of the collapse, you'll see that there was a huge crowd of firefighters in front of 1WTC and the Vista Hotel (3WTC) right before 2WTC fell. Given that firefighters were also looming through the wreck of 2WTC with 1WTC still standing, they probably were killed when 1WTC collapsed

Then about a month later, on a day off, I came back into the city, and took a half day going up to the roof of the WTC. Still seems both unreal and surreal what happened in 2001. R.I.P. all those lost that day, from friends in the UK.

[@GregoryPLoomis]

I was 13 in year 2000. I went to the observation deck with my family. After 9-11, I’ve grown to have a terrible fear of heights because of watching endless videos of people jumping from the WTC. For some reason I keep going to that dark place in my mind, where I’m with those people trapped and I hear the panic and people screaming “break a window!!!” and possibly being one of those people waving a cloth and trying to get air then possibly making that decision to jump. If anyone has seen Batman Begins. That flower the scarecrow uses to extract peoples fears. The way the edits are done with a jolt of music and a quick cut. It’s like watching a panic attack inside your mind…that’s what happens to me when I’m thinking of that scenario. I also have a hard time looking up at tall objects like it’s gonna fall on me or I’m falling upwards. All of these feelings derived from repeated emotional thoughts of 9/11.

[@LINCAR4000]

This is a great timeline compilation. I had just gotten to our hotel for the start of a 3 week family vacation in Provence France and relaxing from 14 hours of traveling on 9/11/01 in our room with our 5 year old boy/girl twins when my Mom came in and said there had been an "Incident" in America (I'll never forget that phrase!). It was crazy to turn on the TV and see the towers standing and saying hopefully, what are you talking about they're still standing but then sadly then see the collapses moments later as we had missed all of the beginning and these were reruns of that awful moment. That started my fascination with 911. it's crazy whenever I see anything new about that day I'm drawn to it. Because we weren't in the US at the time and only got the unique perspective from a foreign land of which language I couldn't speak I experienced 911 much differently than my brother who stayed behind in Chicago. Without question, the French people were so supportive and made our travels throughout that country from Provence, Lyon and finish in Paris, very inviting. During our stay in that country, everybody was so welcoming. Everywhere we went people were telling us how sorry they were about what happened and could the help in any way. The only thing I would have done differently is keep the video of the plaza and be able to see the debris from the crash rain down into the plaza. Thanks for a great compilation.

After the collapse of the south tower, the ringing sounds u hear, are the alarms on the firemens suits, they go off when they stop moving for a period. A very eerie sound.

[@kevintraynor4508]

Scary to think while people where trying to comprehend the first tower being hit . They then receive another shock from the second tower being hit. Then a 3rd shock from the towers collapsing in themselves.

[@Sad_Bumper_Sticker]

I was 20 and watched it on TV, why does it still make me so extremely troubled, why do I return to countless videos and documentaries on 9/11? I can’t shake it off. I’ve watched so many accounts, videos that I can imagine what it was for those people. Why does the pain of 9/11 become a reoccuring YT obsession for some of us?

[@vibecheck663]

Amazing work here!

[@wtcenthusiast198]

Excellent tribute to memory of original complex!

[@richardheadly7466]

Years ago I heard about a couple who'd been killed together sitting on a bench in the plaza. The witness stated a piece of metal had impaled them both when the plane hit WTC 1. I've never seen any pictures or video that showed this nor have I ever heard anyone else talk about it. The witness/survivor was a man doing a tv interview.

The sheer terror that everyone experienced that day is something that I cannot wrap my mind around.

[@bvalz8219]

I always wondered what it was like being at the World Trade Center before the tragedy. I was only 3 when it happened, what a loss. RIP to those we lost.

[@The-Great-Brindian]

I find myself deeply intrigued by the offices within the North and South Towers, particularly those situated above the impact zones. I wonder how much unseen video footage and photographs remain out there, waiting to be shared digitally. It's hard to fathom the horrors that the victims trapped in those upper floors must have faced. They surely understood the gravity of the situation, realizing it was no accident but a terrorist attack. Sadly, many were driven to the unimaginable choice of leaping from windows to escape. The conditions they endured must have been unbearable. It's truly heart-wrenching to contemplate. Rest in peace.

Es increible como después de ese trágico día Nueva York pasó de ser una ciudad funky, alegre y super popular por su propio encanto, a ser sólo la ciudad más reconocible de Estados unidos y ya. Casi toda la alegría dejó esa ciudad y el trauma aún vive en el sitio años después, aunque esté el One WTC, y haya cosas más populares o reconocibles de NY, es una marca imborrable. No es sólo el hecho de que se fueran las torres. la agonía, el terror, la angustia, y el dolor golpearon a una que era de las ciudades más alegres del mundo

[@MusicLeeSarah]

Since I never got to see them in person like my brain cannot wrap itself around the height of these buildings. I get a better sentence through these videos but I think it was 1 of those things for me I would have had to have experienced to really understand just how tall they were. I am still just in awe

[@OnlyTimefps9]

I’ve been watching other people’s videos including someone who others joke that he was time traveling (Aerial Tv)😂 touring in the Twin Towers including malls, Windows on the World, observation deck, etc. The more I watch the pre 9/11 videos, the more it amazes, but also depresses me that nearly everything that were inside the towers were just simply GONE… reduced to atoms like Thanos from Endgame said. It’s wild they all disappeared like they’re nothing. And it’s beyond horrendous that that’s exactly how majority of the people and all the trapped victims (above plane impacts) died in the collapse. The 2 89th floor (North Tower) heroes’ remains whom they to find were nowhere to be found. Not an ounce of them. That is a testament to just how dangerous the collapse truly is. It’s depressing and mind boggling to say the least.

[@MelnStarscream]

Yaknow, I was supposed to go there, my first year of college. E verything was paid for, everything was ready, and the date was set by the school group organizing the trip. The dates were supposed to be from sept. 14 to sept 17... 2001. I was 19 and so very excited, and one of the place I was most excited to visit was the WTC. But of course... Of course tragedy happened, and the trip never did happen. One of my greatest regret, really.

[@willfade7994]

I’ll always regret that I never made it to New York and the Twin Towers. I’m in California. A few months before 9/11, my best friend and her husband decided to go to New York and invited me, but it was too short notice for me to request days off from work. My friend begged me to go. She wanted us to have breakfast at Windows on the World (North Tower). She said it was her favorite place to eat breakfast in all of New York because she loved their Eggs Benedict! She liked to eat there then go up to the Observation Deck. She said it really did feel like you were on top of the world up there. So they went and she brought me back some great gifts from the Windows on The World gift shop. She got me a New York shot glass, a framed black & white print of a photo of the view of the towers from the Hudson and she got me an apple-shaped Snow Globe of the towers that plays Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York”. It’s one of those wind-up music boxes with the “Big Apple” shaped glass globe on top and it still plays to this very day. I remember her bringing back some booze-filled chocolates and Nat Sherman Black & Golds she got there as well. Strangely enough, I was at her house the night before and morning of 9/11 and I always think of her when I see these videos. She passed away at just 32 in 2010. I don’t think I will ever fully recover from 9/11. My cousin would’ve been in the North Tower that day but he traded places with his business partner and went to Japan that day instead of going to the office. His business partner went to the trade center and never made it out. Everyone that went into their office that day perished… My heart still goes out to all of those poor people and their loved ones who likely never recovered from their loss. Thank you for sharing this! I will never forget. 🙏🏻

[@OnlyTimefps9]

Wow that’s wild. I’m so sorry you’re still feeling this way, and for the loss of your best friend 💔

[@OnlyTimefps9]

Fun fact: 2010 was the same years that I went to New York with my grandparents along with my Aunt, Uncle and little cousin. I always wanted to go to the WTC, but I always wondered what happened to those Twin Towers (despite that I watched those towers burning live in Utah when I was 4; even though I thought they were like the same smoking smelter towers that we have here in Utah 😅, and I never had the chance to watch them collapse. It was probably for the good from my parents). Took me a year later on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 to fully realize in the History class that those towers were gone for good and that they were caused by terrorist attacks. No doubt this was the most tragic event this country has ever had. So sad how many lives were lost that day, and imo that was the day our freedom permanently died. May they all keep resting in peace, especially your friend ❤🕊️🙏

[@Thejetsons99]

[@benschaeffer8102]

I cant believe I was in the shower of ALL PLACES when AA11 hit the North Tower and I thought the shaking was just from the Subway passing underneath my apartment building out in South Park Slope, Brooklyn. Then I walked out of my bathroom and my Dog was going ABSOLUTELY NUTS, and I could hear a cacophony of sirens 🚨, & that's when I realized SOMETHING was horribly, Horribly, HORRIBLY WRONG. 😳 The MOST SHOCKING thing was that a perfectly beautiful bluebird 🐦 late Summer/early Fall morning in NYC went SO HORRIBLY wrong. That was REALLY the truly horrendous thing. It was mind-numbing. I'm ALWAYS going to be grateful that I wasn't physically AT the WTC on 9/11, but being in NYC was horrible enough for me.

It was not just the two towers. WTC 7, a thirty storey building also came down that day although there appears little interest in that event, maybe because it happened late on the day when people were emotionally exhausted.

[@sammitchell3657]

The one that Silverstein said to 'pull" yea. They knew what they were doing. They totally ignored the fact that building just collapsed too

[@sweetgrl9840]

Imo less interest because there were no casualties before it collapsed. It caught on fire because of the North tower being struck. It was evacuated before the 2 towers fell.

[@lakerfam]

Building 7 was down the street why do you think it came down?

[@dereknewbury163]

@@lakerfam Building 7 came down in free fall onto its own footprint a characteristic of a building being demolished rather than one that collapsed due to internal fires. In fact, prior to 9/11 and subsequently, there have been many fires in tall buildings that di not result in their collapse. I note that the owner of the building, Silverman, spoke of making a decision to "pull" the building, not of course an action that can be taken without substantial pre-planning. I do not know why this building came down but find official explanations to be very flawed. Even members of the 9/11 Commission have claimed they were set up to fail. More money was spent investigating President Clinton's spunk on that infamous dress than on the 9/11 investigation. Given that it is one of the biggest crimes to have taken place in the USA, the amount of forensic evaluation was zero

[@ElectricCompany]

The footage of construction workers removing a window at 44:35 is unbelievable. By looking at the south tower you can see they're at or above the north tower's impact zone, and when they hold the camcorder out the window it's the same view the victims trapped on 92 and above would have had. Not only does the camera look down, but it looks across the face of the building. Seeing that perspective from that high up is making my stomach drop.

Beautifully done !

I will miss this iconic place till the day I die. God bless all those we lost that day.
