  • wanted to warn you that in 2001 theres gonna be an attack in wtc just telling you now ;D

  • my god look at the towers i just love looking at them

  • quality

  • ur lucky u got to go up there ):

  • I seriously would have fainted from that view at 1:30.. werent you a little scared being that high up?

  • @codebreaker212p : it was like to be on the top of the world !

  • @codebreaker212p

    Makes you realise how terrifying it would have been to have to jump...

  • @IAMISCOOL obviously

  • 2:20 Is the antenna interfering with the video camera magnetic recorder ?

  • @toocoolforu : yes

  • the freedom tower just ain't the same as the twin towers! that tower has awful observation decks, no windows on the world, and not the right fitting for the ny skyline! its so stubborn how they are just looking at the government's approval and ignoring what people want! even if the freedom tower is futuristic, its not what people want! we want the twin towers cuz they would be here today and for a thousand years if only there was no terrorist attack! they will always be standing in my dreams...

  • I went to the Twin Towers for the first time in the summer of 1999, what a great trip, sad that they are not standing there anymore, it was a beautiful building.

  • One random evening/night in 1998.... the WTC in all its glory. Beautiful.

  • Im so happy I went to the top of these towers in 1997 14 or 15 bucks well worth

  • i know there building a new world trade center but it will never live up to the true beauty of the original WTC

  • As you can clearly see, it's snowing on top of the south tower of the WTC... This was probably filmed around October, November.

  • @JMMT7022801 : No snow, but only electrical interferences with the antenna ! This was filmed in january '98

  • The best towers ever built in the history,

    lucky you that have got this wonderful tape .

    Thank for sharing !

  • I used to work there in the late 80's.

  • now this is some rare footage ! Props!

  • I was there when I was 1 before those assholes destroyed it I took and elevator to the top of Tower 2 { The South Tower} and viewed down into the streets of manhattan. It was a truely beautiful sight I wish I could still go there. RIP all those who died 10 years ago.

  • wooooo :) God bless you

  • THANKS SO MUCH for making this footage available! I've never been in the WTC but but with this being the tenth anniversary, I want to remember that great New York landmark and hope she's rebuilt!

  • If i would have known 9/11 was goig 2 happen i would have walked from missouri 2 ny 2 c them

  • 911, INside Job - WTC built for one purpose, a NWO ......... morons dont get it , nor every will, cause they are too freeking stupid to think

  • @tinfoilrepair you are the most stupidest person i have ever heard of

  • @brent1478 glad you heard of me.

  • @tinfoilrepair I disagree. The NWO is coming but the NWO didn't build the WTC.

  • @SoxXxOwnsU you can disagree... that's cool. I disagree with your disagreement. :)

  • @tinfoilrepair actually I agree. New WORLD Order.....WORLD Trade Centers. Anything globalization has to do with the NWO.

  • @SoxXxOwnsU but I go 1 step beyond the norm, and say, it's been PLANNED for a long time, and the WTC was in the plans

  • The last time i was on the observation deck[roof top] was with my college girlfriend. It was very windy and you could feel the tower sway. We where the last ones togo inside but not before she n i smoked a doobie.Taking the ferry in from Highlands without seeing them reachin to the sky still brings tears to my eyes.I hope the soulless ''things'' who flew those planes are smoking large turds in hell.

  • i love those towers!

  • WTC built for 911 - planned out since 1969

  • @tinfoilrepair shut up u fucking prick

  • @yngwierhoads1989 eat me you dumbed down moronic piece of crap who could care less about nazi american facism

  • damn, i've seen pictures but I never realized how massive they were, looking at them from street level like that.

  • I used to think it would be nice to see something modern take their place but when you think about it- it's just a company being cheapskates building one tower. I know even if they were rebuilt- that they would be copies and not the real thing but tbh I want them back. I never had the chance to go to NY nor am I american but I do want them rebuilt now :/

  • I remember I saw the Twin Towers in December 1996. It was one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever lived. When I was at the top of the North Tower, the view from up there was absolutely fabulous. Even though I was only 6 years old, I still remember it like it was only yesterday. Thanks for the upload.

  • @DisneyClassicsFan ya same i got to go there in 2000 but i lived in nyc seen 1993 when was born. I still remember how i found them i was looking in a book in 1st graed and saw them and asked some kid where were they and he told me in NYC so i went to mom and asked if we could go see them and she side yes so we went like 1 week after. I was so pissed and sad on 911 .

  • damnit i had a chance to go to new york in 2000 when i was 9 but my family ended up taking a cruise to the caribbean instead....life is so unfair.

  • i want the old ones back but make them taller and with more stairwells

  • everytime i see these things, i get an eerie feeling inside myself

  • @KTH568 wats so errie about the twin towers

  • @WhatHowWhoTV it's eerie how everytime you look at them, you get that feeling saying, "They(America) had no freaking clue what was going to happen"

  • Such extravagent buildings...and lavish interiors,,,they truly were Luxury in every sense of the of word.

    So sad they are gone and more sad that so many people died too. :(

  • @AlittleBitOfLUXURY

    And the saddest thing is, they're not gonna be rebuilt :(

  • @DontEatMyCat

    really i thought they were making plans to build a new trade center?..oh what a shame :((

  • @AlittleBitOfLUXURY

    They are, but the Twin Towers will not be rebuilt. They're building a "freedom" tower that NO ONE wants.

  • @DontEatMyCat

    oh ic..oh well.

    can't the public have they're say?

  • Comment removed

  • @DontEatMyCat Thats because we are scared. We can't have what we had before because we are afraid of the terrorists!! They have won the battle because we did not rebuild the Twin Towers. We will forever be cowards!! But you can go online and join the Twin Towers Alliance.com and sign the petition to rebuild the Twin Towers!!

  • I love the night views. Nice and unique footage.

  • Beautiful video! Fuck the "freedom" tower.

  • @agreek2nv You're in luck, it's not called the freedom tower anymore. I really wish they would rebuild them exactly the way they were, down to the last steal girder. Those buildings were just awesome to look at. Fuck you terrorists.

  • Great post!!! They were truly magnificent were they not??? I wish people would post more videos of the WTC in all it's glory and not been attacked...

  • who would have thought of this horrible horrible plan... only a demon

  • The very first of the beginning of the video looks just like September 11.

  • why was there buzzing at 2:18

  • @jason66801 : there was interferences with the big antenna on tower 1

  • @jason66801 - I had an old VHS camera when I went to the WTC in 1994 and took video from the roof, and it did the same thing. I think the giant antenna caused the interference.

  • This brings back happy memories of visits I made to the Towers in the late '70's. It's great to see these views again. Too bad they're not being rebuilt. Osama wins. Thanks for sharing the video.

  • Listen to all the diffent languages.

  • Werent you supposed to see three different boroughs from the top? That sure was a beautiful view from the top. What all was in The World Trade Center? I read in my Child Guidance book at college that there was a day care center in the bottom. And every child and teacher there were saved because they evacuated the children and the teachers first.

  • @Sheri451 You could easily see all FIVE boroughs and 3 STATES from the top on a clear day.

  • Could we pretend that aeroplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, I could really use a wish right now.

  • @iProveYouWrong well if the airplane is not hitting the world trade center then you can thinkh whatever you want

  • @MJ4ever911it's a song..

  • @iProveYouWrong haha i know i was joking

  • WOW!!!

  • That wasnt bin laden! That was George Bush!! 9/11 was a Inside Job!!

    R.I.P to all These ppls killed by the US government !!

  • Ahh i got a question how did it smell inside...random question

  • beautiful

  • 0:43 I saw that golden ball in I believe Battery Park last Saturday, it's incredibly dented in. Scary to view.

  • @MarkPatriots seen it to.

  • @MarkPatriots It's called 'The Sphere' by Auguste Rodin. It is set as a memorial in battery park and it will be moved back to the site as soon as construction is finished.

  • I love the twin towers screw the freedom tower

  • man i wish i was born to see them but i was born 1 year brfore 9/11

  • i want the twin towers back...

  • well these buildings were still standing when I was born but If I had visit them before 9/11 I wouldn't have remebered a thing.

  • i remember i went into the WTC in 1989 :o it smelled so good @_@ like a hotel almost lol the food was awesome in the restaurant

  • There was a beautiful classy restaurant on the very top floor of the South tower I believe. Forgot the name of it though. They used to also have live bands and stuff.

  • @natureboy84 : the name of the restaurant was "Windows on the world"

  • @mhlenoir yeah

  • @mhlenoir I believe the restaurant you are describing is in the North Tower.

  • @mhlenoir Windows On The World was in the north tower (tower 1)

  • @natureboy84 do you mean The window restaurant?

  • @GadinhoTheLegend Yeah that's the one! Thanks

  • @natureboy84 and it was located in the WTC North Tower. (Windows on the World)

  • @natureboy84 I think it was in the north tower

  • @natureboy84 It was in the North Tower :)

  • Who knew that these buildings would be attacked and brought down 3 years later, They should rebuild them the same exact way.

  • @natureboy84 Watch 9-11 Hidden in Hollywood here on YouTube. Any smart movie goer could have guessed it was going to happen. The series has 31 parts and you definately don't need to watch them all. Watch part 1, then part 31, and then part 16 first.

  • @natureboy84 Donald Trump wanted to do that ..

  • @natureboy84

    I don't think they should rebuild them the -exact- same way, but to have the iconic Twin Towers restored would be incredible. I don't think The Freedom Tower is going to have the same impact, standing there all on its own.

  • @IAMISCOOL I would really like them back exactly, but I could live with the New Twin Towers II, but the Freedom Tower is not an option.

  • my father drove by as the first plane crashed.. FUCK G.W. Bush and O. Binladen

  • @Cashilysh Or that too!

  • Its NOT too late to rebuild the twin towers II ! ... 93% of americans wants to rebuild the twin towers and ONLY 7% wants the ugly and common freedom tower... freedom tower doesnt represent the meaning of 9/11 victims, and that waterfall looks when the towers where failling down...

  • I had a friend who visited the WTC towers a day before the 9/11 attacks. And I thought it was amazing, because she was able to see them before their destruction!

  • My mom visited the world trade center in august 2001, she was horrified and depressed for weeks after 9/11

  • @1digidude My Uncle was supposed to start working there the next week. Some scary stuff man...

  • epic...

  • Thank you for this video of the WTC. It brings back memories.

  • wish i coulda seen the city like that

  • I was in WTC in march 1998, just a few month after this video. I also went on the Staten Island boat trip the same year.

  • they are so nice looking. i wish i could go there but now... i cant so sad.. =(

  • lets build a tower how can resist thermite

  • you are very lucky to have this wondefull tape.

  • On september 4, 2001 I went when I was 6 to manhattan, and went on a boat ride and for some reason realllly wanted to see the twin towers. We weren't supposed to see them first but my parents took the boat ride for me. I remember begging my parents so that we could go in but we didn't have time. "We'll come to America another time and see them". Then, 1 week later, I remember sobbing in front of the TV in singapore. All I have now are 2 sodden pictures of the buildings left :_(.

  • kantk2008: I did that boat tour. I don't remember which month, it was either July or August 2001. I remember telling my husband that we should of took a camera and he said we can do the boat tour again. I remember looking up at the towers. It was so peaceful, I would just stare at them when we would pass by them several times.

  • sounds like heaven.

  • well that sucks :(

  • yo queria ir ai

  • i think they're building the freedom tower with some sort of memorial fountains included.

  • i would have loved to have stood on the sidewalk and looked up at them towering up into the sky.When i finally did manage to visit NYC in 08 it was ground zero that was in their place.All we have now is pictures and video tape of the former NY skyline.Even with the rebuilding going on it will never be the same

  • The Twin Towers are going to be rebuilded? sorry I'm nort american

  • Sadly, no. :(

  • osamabanladin as a fricken 2 mm dick

  • @TheAnimaldude55 i dunno osamabanladin but osama bin laden is a terrifightin asslicker

  • @TheAnimaldude55 george w bush u mean

  • @ChristianHolloway7 yea i no fking usa goverment done always trying to hide the truth

  • @TheAnimaldude55 He doesn't have a dick....cos he's a unock

  • amazing

  • those buildings were officially condemned...Silverstein purchased the lease with the understanding that, over the following 15 years (2015 or so), the towers would be asbestos free, employ fire sprinklers to the core, and replace the out-dated water pressure system, etc... so, those building HAD to come down one way or another. Silverstein lucked out financially, even though his 7bill came at the cost of so many innocent lives. I hope he's spending it wisely, giving to victim's families etc

  • it was so peaceful and beautiful before the mayhem of 9 11

  • in the word of mr T " you crazy..fool" lol can`t belive you went to the observation deck when it was wet and snowing/raining.

  • i think is the most beautiful concrete building around the world...

    Love from Malaysia...

  • was

  • wow thats so beutiful i wish it was still up i just dont like osamabinladin that little shit

  • ur so lucky u witnessed them when they were still standing...

  • @antshabs88 Ikr.

  • 2:23 .. wonderful ♥

  • So beautiful.

  • Man by the looks of your vid, the RF Radiation from those Broadcast beacons was STRING up there

  • 00:45 - 00:52

    The neo-gothic trident shaped columns along the facade of the lobby were so...awesome....

  • You should see my WTC model in 3D!!

    It's amazingly detailed!

    Lovely vid!

  • what is jet there who the twin towers stand?

  • I got a little choked up at the end and in the scene when inside the building. I remember playing my Neogeo pocket games sitting outside the complex waiting for my parents. So freaking beautiful. Its not the same *whipes eyes* I want my NYC back.

  • Then let's rebuild the Twin Towers! IT'S NOT TOO LATE!

    wtc2011 . com

    twintowersalliance . com

  • so many people NOT speaking english ahha

  • sooo...i dont care..........yo hablo espanol y english

  • Selfish fucker.

  • They were truly symbolic and beautiful. I wish I had been old enough and taken a trip to see them inside.

  • wonder what would have happened if It was cloudy on sept 11??.... not so sunny

  • the same, maybe the cause were gonna be terrorists placing bombs inside the towers during the blackout or the 9/11 or maybe the 9/11 if it were cloudy should be 9/12,13,14

  • they wouldnt make an impression on 9/12 or 9/13, 911 is who we call for help, but what do we do when 911 cant help? they wouldv'e maybe missed the towers on a foggy day.

  • I agree, but you're a little late with the message

  • i'd like to go back to anywhere back between 1993- 2003. reason being is cause the subway and bus fare was $1.25 from 1993 - 1995 and $1.50 from 1995 - 2003. its $2 now but NEXT MONTH , its gonna be $2.25

    its not much and its easily affordable but still, its kinda annoying!

  • in 2003 the towers were gone!

  • i know that, i was talking about the subway and bus fare

  • it was 2001

  • Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.I 've been there 26 years ago but Unfortunately missed this part.I saw Empire State Building but not the TWIN TOWERS.This at least made up for it.Thanks for your generosity.

  • Awesome video. My only regret is not having seen them...

  • YEah, I have never seen them either...But my dream is that one day I will come in New York and will see the new twin towers...I hope they'll have them rebuilt

  • you will see towers, but not any of them would be a twin of another, whats very sad. I hate the freedom tower (which is gona be build) I wish there would be two similar towers that rember us to the beautifull twintowers and the bad and good times NY had with them!

  • Ooh, gosh....It's a pitty....Why the awful freedom tower.....why..why...Is it absolutely sure that it is going to be built??? Are there any hopes at least? ;(

  • I just got an answer , from a guy in NY. he said that they have decided to build the twin towers on the same way the stood . but not exactly on the same position... they dont know if they will stand in Jersey or ground zero... but if this all is true is another story

  • Oh that's great but it would be awesome if they rebuild them on ground zero...Cross fingers :)

  • yes this would be really great...MAKE AMERICA AMERICA AGAIN! (Y)

  • i dont think that the "old" wtc will be rebuilt at ground zero, because theres the foundament of freedome tower. i think it wont be rebuilt because it would remind the families of the victims...

    sry for bad english... im from germany

    But the OLD WTC is much better!!

  • lol the antenna on tower 1 is kinda disturbing your camera

  • who would've ever thought these towers were going to practically melt with those planes!

  • I was 10 when I got home on that day... I sit on the couch with my mom and suddenly the normal talk show was interupted by the news... this was the day I saw the WTC the first and the last time ever. I saw these planes chrashing in and I couldnt realize anything, I even spoke to my mom and said that I hate action movies like this... It was a real movie too me...

  • Building the freedom is like moving forward, I wish to see them built again. I never had the chance to see them personally. They could always come back but not those innocent people that lost their life there.

  • Best World Trade Center video ever

    from italy

    nicola

  • I only saw them once in my life time and it was when i was like 7-8 years old. and i only got to see them from all the way in the bottom my neck almost broke from lookin up that high.. to me its still like a flash back when i remember the twin towers in real life.

  • It's just unbelivable that there gone im only 13 and i never once got to see them in real life. :(

  • It is unbelievable. I was 13 on 9/11 and for kids back then, the WTC were just two really tall buildings in New York -- and was all that was really special about them. But now, they represent so much more to kids your age. I was lucky that I at least was able to live 13 years with
