9-11 World Trade Center Memorial - Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

Summer of 1999, my family and I had the opportunity to vacation in New York City. We had a lovely time, saw a few Broadway shows, The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, The Empire State Building, Central Park and we visited The World Trade Center. At the World Trade Center, there is what is called the "Top of The World" indoor and outdoor observation deck. When arriving at the World Trade Center we had a souvenir photo taken of us in the lobby area then up the elevators to the indoor observation deck and then it ends with a wonderful rooftop stroll with a superb view..




It is unfortunate for those who have never had the opportunity to see or visit the WTC. They were a couple of enormous and majestic buildings located in lower Manhattan. Now, their absence from the cityscape of Manhattan breaks my heart. The day they fell, our freedom, as we knew it, was taken from us. America will never be the same.

God Bless America and God Bless those innocent people who lost their lives.

You know, it really is sad, because not only did the... creatures, that committed these horrific acts murder 2977 innocent people, they also robbed the world, of one of the greatest architectural achievements in history. The Twin Towers were breathtaking, and while I do like the new World Trade Center they're building, for me, there's absolutely no replacement for them, and it breaks my heart that the only remnants of them are memories and photos and videos like this. RIP to all 2977 victims!

maybe when we lose all... love will conquor all fear.

Ten years and this video is still the best thing anyone has ever said about 9/11. Thanks for posting this, it's great to see it's still here.

@verbaud im sorry, fear is stronger than love. no mater how much you love someone when it comes to being feared, there is no greater power. and as history shows us, its worked so far.

I blame airplane companies. From the start they should've put metal cabins in the plane. They should've known it was important to keep the captain's safe.

Thanks for posting. Love the song choice as well. Sadly I have never been to New York but would love to get there one day. Because of this video I was given a small glimpse of what it was like to go up into the towers. Hard to believe that it has been ten years. In some ways it feels like yesterday and in other ways a life time ago. God bless all that were lost that day as well as their family and friends. God bless and thank you to all the first responders and all who helped the victims that d

R.I.P. all those souls. Charming City and its people 4th time of visiting but still want to see NYC again and again. Love you, NYC. God Bless NYC and protect Its people from any harm of that devil destruction. No more this kind of destruction in all around the world. Only sadness and nothing better; the world still the same. Only love can give the world not hatred.

@Toydude1984, those same animals also destroyed centuries of architecture, such as Buddha carved into stone in Afghanistan, and wherever they conquer. Until the WTC was destroyed, I think they were under-appreciated. Now my heart swells and fills with sorrow when I see movies with the Trade Center in them.

All the political talk on this thread has really detracted from the point of this video. Thank you for posting, this was a beautiful tribute that literally put tears in my eyes. God bless.
