    It was 1976 and i was 7 yrs old and off school sick and was watching a documentary on the construction and my mind was blown when i saw them on the screen.
    Also i'm autistic and led a lonely childhood and even tho i had a younger estranged brother and sister, i considered the towers my brother and sister and it was my dream to go by the time i'm 30.
    I turned 30 in 1999 and wasn't financially stable enough to go, so i made a promise to go in 3 to 5 years, and 2 years later i watched them collapse, i couldn't believe it and my heart sank because no matter how rich or successful i become i'll never ever stand on the top of the world and that makes me so sad.

    Between visits to this grand restaurant, I had read about the wine steward - the man who ran the fantastic wine cellar there, and on my next visit, I asked our server to mention this to him. Shortly thereafter, the steward came to our table and was appreciative that I took the time to share what I had learned about him. He graciously invited us inside his cellar, and gave us a grand tour. My date and I were transfixed as he pointed out their incredible selection....some wines well over 100 years old, and explained the inner workings of his cellar in the sky. At the end of this spontaneous tour, he gifted us a bottle of a very fine wine, which was easily the finest wine I had ever had the pleasure of tasting. It was a wonderful addition to an already beautiful evening at WOTW. Naturally, I wonder...to this day, if this gentleman survived the attack. I remain so very thankful to him for taking the time to introduce my date - who has since passed away, and I to his world. The entire staff at WOTW were extremely kind & courteouss to us, and.........🙏🙏R.I.P. to all those who perished.

That is why the planes were all hijacked about a 1/2hr into flight.

    I've been a server for 10 years now, and for some reason seeing that footage from inside the restaurant somehow made the thought of 9/11 even more terrifying. I can really imagine the sheer terror and chaos that must have insued for the all employees and customers...

      72 employees and 92 customers were trapped in the restaurant on 9/11, multiple calls came from the restaurant for help. Many of the people seen in the footage falling to their deaths were from the restaurant including the famous Falling Man image of the guy falling head first in the restaurant’s uniform. Windows on the World was on the top two floors. The head chef survived because he was waiting for the elevator up when the first plane hit.

      That waitress is Tabitha - she is alive. The video showed only the bar (Greatest Bar on Earth) where Windows on the World or Wild Blue guests would have cocktails before and after t heir reservations. GBOE was open to the public for lunch and dinner; no reservations required and dress was casual attire. There was live music or DJs in the evening. Thurs night was Mambo Night and the line would queue up around 4pm at the ground floor lobby level.

    I can only pity those who grab a bite to eat while they're in the current One World Observatory; most of their cuisine options are comparable to any generic food court. Also incredible is the fact that their only restaurant (if it can even be called that) is accessible from a ticket to visit the observatory, meaning that, effectively, someone's paying for both an observatory ticket and their meal, even if those customers don't care for the former. I just miss that Windows On The World gave diners a view without the additional surcharge; just pay for the meal while also having a panoramic view that's $0.00.

      I do want to visit One World Trade Center and the memorial site one day. But a part of me feels like I'll be disappointed, because I was born before 9/11. I wish I could've had my parents take me to the Twin Towers in the time frame of 7 years I was around to.
