NYC and WTC - Historical Tribute (Low-def)

Better watch the HD version of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHqvBOqVWL0

This video, made by me, a Norwegian, is a tribute to New York City, to the World Trade Center and the men and women who risk their lives to keep ours safe.

It is a historical narrative about New York City starting in the late 19th century. Certain pictures are slightly out of chronological order, to fit with the flow of the movie. 40 Wall Street and Trump Tower are the most obvious ones of these.

The pictures of buildings under construction are the actual buildings shown right afterwards. Not just generic construction sites.

The movie is about hope and perseverance and that New York will always be great, no matter what. Of course, the FDNY, PAPD and NYPD, as well as the fighting men and women overseas, also get honored.

The following events are covered:
- Pre skyscraper age and the early skyscrapers
- Statue of Liberty
- The large skyscrapers
- World Trade Center
- World Trade Center bombing
- Capture, trial and imprisonment of bomber Ramzi Yousef
- New York's great buildings
- 9/11
- Rescue attempts
- War in Afghanistan
- Rebuilding 7 World Trade Center
- Other post 9/11 skyscrapers
- Design and construction of the Freedom Tower
- Remembering the fallen

ThDubya, I am quite honored as an American that you put together a really well thought out tribute that is so representative of how most Americans feel about 911.

I have the right to be 'nationalistic' even if I don't agree with our current administration's policies. Not all American voices are represented by their leaders ideals. Americans do have the opportunity to change that situation and we certainly showed how it's done during this past Presidential election.

Tuesn takk!

I am very proud that a Norwegian made this video. For one, I am Norwegian myself, and secondly, people need to realize that America doesn't stand alone, never has and never will. America stand for freedom and liberty, and people all over the world, who have given it any thought, know this.

Henrik, you should go back to watching MTV and eating your McDonalds burger before it gets cold. I guess you haven't really figured out why you are able to enjoy the things that you do.

I will never visit the World Trade Center again. It is ashame that we could not rebuild the Twin Towers. Besides too many people died. So there is nothing there to see anymore after 9/11. The Freedom Tower is a build that is payed for by the politicians. They ignored the public when 93% of the people wanted the Twin Towers rebuilt.

I'm not sure it matters if u watch in hi def or not..its a beautiful montage to a stunning city

@ThDubya You're welcome. I am happy to be an American. The beauty of the United States is that our original Constitution is the only one of its kind that is supposed to give us limited government freedom of speech & freedom to bear arms. I don't know of any other constitutions that begin its preamble with "We the People."

Ironically, I am a native of Syracuse, New York, which is located in the middle of the state. I haven't lived there since early July 1995, but it is still my home town.
