World Trade Center 107th Floor Observation Deck - Rare Footage (Part - 1)

[@leanneadams2549]

This vid IS NOT about 9/11. It’s about everything before that. Can’t we remember just how majestic and beautiful they were and how lucky you were to go up there to experience that ? Im very grateful that these people shot this vid when videos were in such an early stage these minutes are now priceless and they were before also !!!!

[@jasonclarke8260]

I remember when I was 16, I went on holiday to New York with my best friend and her family right after we did our GCSEs and we were lucky enough to get to go up to the 107th floor observation deck while we were there. It was an amazing experience, one that I'll never forget. That was in the Summer of 1996 and we're still very close friends 26 years later. The Summer just gone she and her husband came with me and my wife on another trip to New York. It was the first time we'd been since then and while we were there we went to the 9/11 memorial. When we got there she said it was unbelievable that we went up there when we were kids and now it's gone. Love from England and thoughts to those who lost their loved ones on this tragic day. 💗

I wish i was in The World Trade Center in New York, and i was on holiday in New York 2012 and my age was 9 - 10 years old but that time in 9/11 2001 i wasn't born yet, because i was born in 2002 then this World Trade Center be destroyed but i still remember my memories, on the holiday in USA. 🤨

[@bigdmac33]

I live in Northern Ireland and was fortunate to visit the WTC back in the '70s. Now, you must understand that at that time, the tallest building in Belfast was Windsor House, 23 stories, 80m tall and I thought that that was big, but I could not take in the sheer size of the towers. From the ground, looking up I had to lie flat on the sidewalk to prevent my being dizzy. From the top looking down, I could detect the imperceptible sway of the tower. It was a magnificent experience and one that I have always treasured.

[@julievanderleest]

They were not just buildings that were destroyed. Those two buildings were full of people, loved ones, working to support their families and themselves. Thousands of people were killed and thousands more are missing them. Kids that grew up not knowing their parent that was killed. So many had to jump from these windows because it was the better alternative than being burned to death. We will never forget this horrible day.

[@AnnieBrackett88]

Honestly, I would have been terrified being on the top floor on a normal day. I have a fear of high buildings, so I know I couldn’t have handled being up there. I just can’t imagine the people who jumped out or hung out of the window for air.

Great footage! Brings back memories! I was on the observation deck in 1976, it was just like this video, all the antenna and other structures. Looking to the other tower with its high antenna I could see the two towers moving relative to each other. In fact I later learned that they move 6 feet off center at the top of the tower. So with both towers moving I saw them moving toward and away from each other like a giant tuning fork. Quite alarming it was.

No free standing man made structure is going to survive the impact of an enormous jetliner at full speed, full of fuel.

Anyone who actually believes those buildings came down due to the impact of planes are just as dangerous as the sick government that was running the country that day. Even the Japanese firm that built them buildings said it was made to take impacts bigger than those planes that hit that day. The firefighters who survived that day reported hearing explosives going off inside the buildings and the icing on the cake Mr Silverstein who owned those buildings took out a huge insurance policy just 6 months before.

I went to the top on early November of 1989. It was strange because you didn't walk on a flat roof. There was a walkway built up on the roof that you would walk around. You could feel the building sway in the wind. It was scary but very exhilarating as well. There were no metal detectors or people to check you or anything. Just went to the desk, paid $7.50, and got on the elevator. I actually thought the elevator ride was the scariest part because it took you from the ground to the top floor. (an escalator took you from the top floor to the roof) I had a fear of the elevator falling.

On the 77th floor there were railing that if you stood on it and leaned your head on the glass you felt like you were flying. Only problem was if you slipped you fall about 20 feet and yours truly tried it and got ripped to pieces by security and my teacher. I don’t blame them, it was incredibly stupid, but I was 11 and a bit nuts lol I miss the towers, last time I was in those buildings was the north tower in 1999 on a date. They were something special.

🤩🇺🇸👍🤩🇺🇸👍Good Video! I was fortunate to meet Patrick O'Kane who was a height specialist and was one of the two men, that painted the antennae! He worked as a bridge painter for Port Authority. Saw Irish Echo article about how they called him to help in trying to save people, after planes hit! Terrible😢😢😢

[@dustyflair]

The view form outside at the top really was fab!!!!

[@yeahchriss1908]

this footage is so old you can see someone wearing a cap with the cowboys as champions

[@cmc147]

I wonder how much it costs to go up there when they were still around..

[@shazia.ali21]

About $22.

[@johnnygizmo4733]

Those in black on lower deck, could they been observing for a plan? Im sorry, it's hard not to think about. Good shots from there. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamesnorthup7717]

Did those TV cameras on the roof film the catastrophe??

[@sasgharalizaidiify]

Thats a good question

[@Vishalbhatty]

Asgar did you shoot this video?

[@sasgharalizaidiify]

Yes Vishal thats my video :)

[@Lordblackfair]

I never had the chance to experience wtc. Thank you.

[@Tee19691]

You can see and hear the static interference from the antennas on top of the building.

[@kimpalmer5582]

Thank you. I miss those buildings. I was there four months before 9-11

[@hera2]

this is incredible. what year is this?

[@davidr9614]

1998

[@kodydasavage5336]

Just imagine looking out that window hopelessly watching that plane getting closer than feeling the build shake and explode :(

[@novam.ilmegliodi9553]

Pazzesco il disturbo audio provocato dall'antenna sul tamburo della testina della cam vhs....

[@nordmarian9770]

When 140p was the best quality for cameras.

[@mikegross6107]

Was that News2 camera running on that fateful day? If so, maybe it caught some incredible pictures before it was destroyed!

[@awaydeboa]

I can imagine the poor ppl trapped looking down there. So high, so dangerous, so painful... some of them preferred to jump to the certain death than burn. I'm so sorry for them. May they resting in peace.

Being from the UK, I always dreamed of going to New York and on my first visit with my girlfriend she gave me the choice of going up the Empire State building or the twin towers but not both as she wanted to shop. I chose the twin towers and was amazed at what a beautiful buildings they were and when at the top, how little wind there seem to be. I went back in 2016 and paid my respects. As someone who grew up in London in the 70s when bombs were going off due to the IRA I can relate to how New Yorkers feel about them not being there anymore. All terrorism brings is pain and sadness and never achieves its goal.

[@brettroberts990]

Never seen this part of the Trade Centers.. This is so cool.

[@searain1573]

I have a question. If the Twin Towers were still standing today, would the observation deck platform on the South Tower's roof eventually had been closed down? The observation deck platform on the South Tower's roof was only about 300 feet away from the North Tower's antenna. They did not allow visitors to the top of the North Tower because of the antenna there. The thought was they would get too much RF expose if they were that close for too long. If you're in close enough proximity for a certain length of time to that high of wattage of TV/radio signals, it can cause health problems. Apparently, the South Tower was far enough away to safely allow visitors, hence the observation deck there. Back in the 1970s, it was deemed safe to stand on the roof of 2 WTC, but in many videos, you can clearly hear and watch the radio interference. If you look at some videos taken on the observation, you can still hear analogue TV interference in their audio. If the twin towers were built today, I don't believe that they would surely allow anyone on the roof of the South Tower because of those interferences.

[@briana_patrick]

Bro this building is so high i wouldnt have even gone in there, period. I AM SO SCARED OF HEIGHTS. Even tho i go on roller-coasters and love them lol

[@visionist7]

Trust me you'd have gone up and you'd have loved it

[@svenskavapes8558]

Agree 👍 Im allso affraid of hights, and this is insane 😳 My heart nearly pop out just to see this 😟😳 Greetings from sweden ⚘

[@shawnwhite08sw]

How is it that there were so many angles of everything on that day? I wonder that every single video I see in regards to 9/11

[@sja1453]

because when a plane crashes into a building, most people start recording..there is only one known video of the 1st plane hitting because obviously no one expected it

[@MJJStuff-v9p]

Well who the fuck wouldn't record a skyscraper that was hit by a plane

[@evelyntelese8485]

I was on that roof top a long time ago. What a beautiful site it was. To see the NYC and Long Island.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@TaxingIsThieving]

6:28 Why are there people on the other Tower?

[@yakovmatityahu]

Did you personally visit WTC?

[@sasgharalizaidiify]

Yess 🙂 i still have the tickets too

[@yakovmatityahu]

​@@sasgharalizaidiify ohk when did you visit???

[@marisrelaxingsounds1747]

💙💙💙💙 thank you for sharing

[@jacquelinechellis4036]

I kinda wish they would have rebuilt them the same a kind of defiance. What they did is beautiful but just my opinion
