Lightning strikes Empire State Building & World Trade Center

[hairyguy1998]

the empire state building was also made so high to stop lighting hitting the floor or other objects, it conducts the lighting towards it then other objects

[alainaiso]

let me guess that video was made before the 11th september 2001?

[xMotoZilla]

i hope the Empire strikes back

[spacexplorer100]

twin towers were still standing..

[tweek763]

I thought lightning didnt strike the same place twice. myth busted!

[bobwatters]

and thats why they have lighting rods

[LEGOkid534]

@facebook123123 Fool. This is real. YouTube was created 4 years after 9/11. Do your damn research.

[LEGOkid534]

RIP World Trade Center. Ten years 2001-2011

[birdsboro7]

well this was before 2001 

[dalektaliban]

the dalek army is being awakened

[NoToRiOusZamaNi]

i relly think they shulve just ebuilt the old one the same way although it wont be the same in meaning, but it would still bring back the memories.

[LimaAlphaPapaSierra]

The streets of NYC, the safest place to be during an electrical storm! The city has it's own lightening rod...

[deroldenburger1991]

Whta is an World Trade Center?

[MrDylanTube]

@deroldenburger1991 The World Trade Center was a center of mainly office buildings.

The most famous structrue at WTC was the Twin Towers, the tallest buildings in the world. On Sept. 11 2001 terrorists flew one plane in each tower of the twin towers and they collapsed. And now WTC is being rebuilt.

Uploaded by kiotr2009 on Dec 28, 2008 > and lightning hitting WTC? What you doctor who?

[xnoelx05]

@bve4trainz he made his account because New Year was coming.

[Partyanimal2k9]

@bve4trainz simple it was filmed before 9/11 and was posted after.may they R.i.p as well.....

[m41incanis]

I don't think it struck the same place twice, it struck once in two different places. Whooooooh!

[loldowl]

Fortunately that wasn't a plane.

[acepilot189]

@loldowl too soon man too soon

[ConstructionCentral]

@acepilot189 its always to soon for jokes about 9/11!

[MarissaMacMarissa]

any normal new yorker most defiantly keep a camera on there window all year and watch all the film to look for lightning...

[uranumty]

the empire state building gets hit like 200 times a year

[malcolmmorin]

@itzvincentx3 No. The video was MADE before 9/11. The video was uploaded in 2008. :D

[legoman1631]

at 0.08 a flash on the north tower's antena

[realfun7188]

@legoman1631 its probably a camera. They put cameras on top of buildngs to take video/photos at set times. Just for... You know, recording history purposes.

[rossm8038]

so ur plan was that day to sit for hours and post a 30second video of lightining striking the empire state building? SICK!!

[2000gmod]

[jeropk]

[cradam6]

[UnitedWeStandUSA1]

[CEFD11777]

[The85Comedian]

nice view.....rip WTC

[reduolf]

They are the twin towers, except in this video because it is quite dark, it looks like one fat tower. But they are there, it was recorded early in 2001 - can't you lot read??

[Lyronxx]

Whew,stop at 0:07! A nice light! :)

[CrSkater21]

Pause at 0:13. It also hit another building.

[jonjonjon1370]

@ogel49 it was recorded before that, just uploaded later on

[horsesfourever143]

kool

[steel5w]

With 20 lightning strikes per second equaling 1,728,000 per day, OF COURSE lightning will be bound to hit the same place twice. Not even including tall buildings like this.

[NOlifer97]

The towers :'(

[luigiman7789]

huh doesn't strike same place twice in row my BUTT!

[11jjrmex]

the WTC got struck 4 times...poor thing :(..and then they got murdered :'(....

[thebluemaggot]

@MiniChipFactory not to mention nearly 300 thousand pounds heavier.

[Hopwood12]

didn't World Trade Center get hit in 2001 ?

[xFLAMeHD]

@Hopwood12 its a old video. uploaded 2008.

its from 1999 or something

[whattheheck1000]

@Hopwood12 Yes, this video was recorded two months before 9/11. This video was recorded on July 1, 2001 and posted to YouTube on December 28, 2008.

February 27, 2012 12:40 am

[smartguye]

@0.15 the person goes back

[smartguye]

@0.06 thats someone teleporting from Empire State to WTC.

[HighInMyTime]

Who ever said that lightning doesn't strike twice?

[krystledawn100]

I'm thinking this is fake bc why are we not seeing lightening anywhere else?? I guess maybe, whoever made this, just showed the couple second clips when the lightening actually hit. But it still in slightly peculiar that out of 3 different shots, there was never any lightening anywhere else. Anyone agree? Feel free to disagree too, I'm not an expert or even all that smart lol But if you're going 2try 2post silly, stupid nonsense, dont waste your time bc I dont give a damn what you have 2say!! =P

[greg55666]

@krystledawn100 Uh, dude, "lightning rod"--look it up.

[teentitans0789]

lightning is fucking coooollllll

[TheAtomicCUCUMBER]

WTC are like "GOD DAM THIS WERE SO UNLUCKY!"

[mr0loki0jr]

the empire state building is like hihi stop tickling me

[RGCx4SHOTx]

@Dantedijon look at the lighting bro haha

[Dantedijon]

@RGCx4SHOTx I dont see your point? Thats how lightning looks, this is real, im guessing the other vids fake too then if that was the case, new york is known for that, north tower and empire state building got two metal antennas, of course lightning is going to strike them especially when they closer to the clouds then we are, this vid is old was recorded when twin towers were standing

[costapasta98]

is it me or does this look fake?

[1BoyAwesome]

WOW 2 months and 10 days before the wtc attacks

[13collj]

damit donald stop rubing your hair on that damn ballon!

[2010mcclain]

cool it hit yhe wtc1 and empire state building at the same at the first&second strike

[Appallas]

it looks so fake...

[RainbowLollipops1001]

what happened to 911

[facebook123123]

FAKE! I mean this was made on 7/1/01 2 months and 10 days before they collapsed, so there is no way this is real. Whoever doesn't realize im being sarcastic is a fucking retard.

[RandomDominoGuy]

@Kazisho this video was made two months BEFORE the attack. Seriously, it might help if you READ THE DESCRIPTION!

[Kazisho]

Fake, the WTC has been destroyed on 9/11.

[adb056]

@Kazisho if you look at the description sometimes!

[TrancetasticWilza]

@Kazisho yeah we know! the date the video was uploaded doesn't mean it's fake?? use your loaf!

[sparkey989]

LOL at making the WTc look really small

[psolo3]

i see the wtc buildings in the background :( RIP

[MakeupTeen94]

this is an amazing videoo! i live on long island, & i live for the cityyy. but its sad seeing this and knowing the world trade center isnt relle there anymore:/ but great videoo! really nice :)

[domamania]

@MakeupTeen94 Then you havent been in the city in a while cause there is a new world trade center there now. The new tower 1 is 960 feet and going to 1,776 feet tall with the other 3 supertalls going up as well.

[brenyboy26]

@domamania it's such a pain in the ass!

[domamania]

@brenyboy26 what are you trying to say that i am a pain in the ass?

[MakeupTeen94]

@TrainsforGTA lmao

[RoxyFilly]

You guys r idiots, this video was taken two months before 9/11! Can't you read?!!

[ReflexGamerzHD]

Who says lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice?

[oN1GHTMAREo]

@ReflexGamerzHD eminem

[SnappyPenguins]

@ReflexGamerzHD Not me! Lightning actually strikes the Empire State Building an average of 15 times a year - it once got struck 15 times in the space of 15 minutes! :D

[Gian092]

@ReflexGamerzHD

Well lighting rods are another story.

[MarissaMacMarissa]

@ReflexGamerzHD its strikes the empire state building an average of 27 time per year

[splashlog01]

Good thing King Kong wasn't up there

[maddogmcrae]

@splashlog01 King Kong would have got his ass fried.

[McRoomster2009]

is this real? its like a 5 mile distance between them..

[Bblzjone67]

so smll

[TranBoys]

Guys, this is not fake. It was recorded before, only UPLOADED in 2008. Smh... -__-

[SuperExtremejeffhard]

its fake wtc was destroyed in sept,11,2001 remeber

[GoodsonRex]

@SuperExtremejeffhard if you look at the date it was recorded in july of 2001

[AnaAlex]

@SuperExtremejeffhard just so u know, video cameras were invente way before 9/11

[Ali271194]

@daw162 everybody of the pupil who where there and watched everything sayed that when the tower collaps that there was an another explosion so in fact the detonate bombs

[Ali271194]

@GAMeRCOn8000 i believe that the usa have planned everything

can you answer me the question why did the wtc7 collapse

nobody knows that

[GAMeRCOn8000]

@Ali271194 Osama Bin Laden ADmitted to it jackass

[Ali271194]

@GAMeRCOn8000 bin laden was an actress from the cia he looked everytime in his videos different

watch it yourself

the usa used the actress and said that bin laden was the boss of all terror attacks to the usa and the americans believe that

they gave them the blame and so that they make a war in irak and afghanistan because this 2 lands are one of the most lands who have many oil

and you know that the world oil is in future empty

the americans want only the oil and so many pupil died for it

[jorick267]

@Ali271194 wtc7 collapsed because its was really demaged at the backside. It was damaged when the twin towers collapsed. and at the point where the steal is attached to each other was very weaken/damaged. by the fire. wich was really hot. Because of this the construction of wtc7 wasn't strong enough and it collapsed. a lot of investigatorsand sientist tell this, but the believers of the conspiracy only hear the things they want to hear

[A7X070XD]

@jorick267 cool story bro

[rehsa2194]

I didn't know that lightning strikes were that big laterally, to cover that much area and hit two different points a few miles apart, amazing.

[stryderzer0]

@ldghappy124911 wow 2008? i cant believe the twin towers still exist at that time!

[theretardcollection]

there are two reasons it hit it so much

1:its the tallest building in the area

2:they have a lightning rod on top of it

[Bianca16161616]

twin towers in the back?

[ExecutorOnslaught]

they actually did that on purpose on the roof there are electricity thingys that use lightning strikes as electricity for the building

[FirstAwesomeGamer]

@ExecutorOnslaught i think ur right, but next time avoid "thingys"

[petersupermann]

i miss em :(

[GTFOVevo]

@ldghappy124911 Lmao. I don't even know what you just said. Honestly that comment made you sound pretty dumb.

[custom137]

@damnfoolstoday hes dead

[GTFOVevo]

@ldghappy124911 This wasn't recorded in 2008 you idiot. It was recorded before 9/11 and put on youtube in 2008. That's why he called you stupid.

[spammingnoobs]

@ldghappy124911 wow your stupid

[texas9ish]

in the beginning what did the lighting strike way out to the right

[ricochetjr]

The lighting towers at their best. :D

[matthewla16]

[GillianGonzales03]

[BobCrane787]

[tungruffel]

[robertdevald]

WTF?! Fake and gay!! Nah, just kidding, but how could lightning strike the WTC an Emp. State Building at the same time, they are like 5 miles apart, no?

[kazath]

@robertdevald When the sky discharges it looks for the fastest way down and that is those three buildings in NY. :O

[robertdevald]

@kazath I know that it looks for the fastest way down but those buildings were like 5 miles from each other!

[dominicancheif117]

@robertdevald no its about 2 miles away

[tomux008]

[ThePandaThunder]

@tomux008 thts amyth cuz the empire state building gets hit by lightning on the pole a looott of times in one year look it up

[Error404AccessDenied]

@ThePandaThunder No. The myth means: Lightning doesn't strike twice in the same spot in a matter of seconds.
