I grew up with the Twin Towers during my childhood. I went on the roof of the South Tower back in 1994. I was 14 years old when they were destroyed back in 2001. I miss the Twin Towers everyday. #NeverForget911
Thank you so much for showing the world this video. I am from Australia, and didn't visit New York prior to 9-11 2001, and still haven't. Thank you, Jared, for the opportunity to visit and experience the view. The video is both poignant and interesting.
The funny thing about why so many people keep staring at the twin towers ever since they were build is knowing how big they were! And too much of a show off to the world lol
It seems to fit with the 90s thing better. At 8:30 you can see that the World Financial Center underwent the copper oxidation effect. The roofs are made of copper and they're green.
There is good amount of RF up there right next to the antenna. Look closely and you see the camcorder picking up a TV signal....and lots of static on the sound. Since it changes with the movement of the camcorder, I don´t think it is from converting the video to VHS.
Man, i really wish I could have seen the place in it's hayday. I was born six years after the incident, but i hear that there was a mall and a train underneath the building? that's insanely cool
I was out on this deck a long time ago in the 1980's. I remember it was very windy and cold but what a view! And the experience one I'll never forget. I have yet to set foot in the Freedom Tower and it was completed while I was still a resident it simply never felt the same to me.

I remember seeing those buildings going up floor by floor. I was just a young kid. Been to the top numerous times. Never would I ever have thought they would were gone.
exactly my thoughts. i feel sick even looking at that view knowing it was the last view many people had before they had to make that choice whether to burn or jump.
Nobody was there at the time the floors before the rooftop or the observatory I saw another video where a tourist shows the time they open and the first plane hit the one of the tower about 30 minutes before they opened
This is the South Tower which was hit second. You'd hope that they would evacuate people from there after seeing the North Tower get hit. However the South Tower wasn't properly evacuated like it should have been. Some people choose to leave but others stayed because there was an instruction that their tower was safe and didn't need to be evacuated.

Sorry for this comment being two years late. But they were the most beautiful buildings ever. They were bigger in person. Saw them a year before. I had just turned 15 two days before.
@@empressvogt Was there a mall down there? That's cool. I was 11, but I was still young/not really knowledgeable about things (lived in another country at the time)
It's devastating to know the kind of death and destruction that took place at these two buildings years after this was filmed. I think we all wish we could go back to before 9/11 was ever burned into history. The world didn't seem so confusing back then. At least not to those of us who were very young when this all unfolded.
I’ve thought many times what if the FBI did their jobs and investigated the claims by the flight school. They knew who they were. Why didn’t they do something? We lost more than Two tall buildings and thousands of people. America lost its integrity and stability.

It’s unimaginable that people ended up having to jump out of the towers after they were hit. The heat and the smoke from the jet fuel were SO bad that jumping was actually the better option. RIP to all the lives lost that day 😔
I have a question. If the Twin Towers were still standing today, would the observation deck platform on the South Tower's roof eventually had been closed down? The observation deck platform on the South Tower's roof was only about 300 feet away from the North Tower's antenna. They did not allow visitors to the top of the North Tower because of the antenna there. The thought was they would get too much RF expose if they were that close for too long. If you're in close enough proximity for a certain length of time to that high of wattage of TV/radio signals, it can cause health problems. Apparently, the South Tower was far enough away to safely allow visitors, hence the observation deck there. Back in the 1970s, it was deemed safe to stand on the roof of 2 WTC, but in many videos, you can clearly hear and watch the radio interference. If you look at some videos taken on the observation, you can still hear analogue TV interference in their audio. If the twin towers were built today, I don't believe that they would surely allow anyone on the roof of the South Tower because of those interferences.
Your Dad has a good eye, most people film out the window, his added intro provides the size context to help those who never went imagine it. His views of the city are steady and well chosen. Lovely.
At 7:17 they're speaking Polish: 😅 - I'd like to ask - what's about the tickets? - (...) "Three hours" - he told me. I can't figure out some part of it though. 🤔

Looks to be from around 1987. The building at the beginning (7 World Trade) appears to be wrapping up with construction.
I agree, everything about this video screams 80's.

can you imagine just visiting and being on the observation deck when the hit happened?
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviewsthe observation deck was closed .it opened at 10 am

Nothing will feel the same, i really miss those towers

You're probably right. The slow horizontal scan might be there because of the NTSC signals matching up in some ways, but that's just a guess.
That definitely looks like RF interference and sounds like a video carrier.

1:00 breaks my heart knowing that people had no choice but to jump from that sort of height :'(
The jumpers faced the most difficult choice. 200 jumpers were buried under the rubble and were not identified.
exactly my thoughts. i feel sick even looking at that view knowing it was the last view many people had before they had to make that choice whether to burn or jump.
Yes it’s just absolutely horrific thinking about it to be honest 😢😢
R.i.p to all those that died on that tragic day and years after due to it :(

It was closed when the planes hit, but yeah, that wouldn't be good... More lives would be lost.

Si el ataque hubiera sido 2 horas más tarde hubiera sido casi el doble de víctimas

OF course you edited lol
@@chadstreich1093 I edited because I had seen where I’d inadvertently left out some words. So I edited so it would make sense
*nowdays found like tapes on internet, media and youtube and etc+ so crazy things ever.*
late 80s surely
I wasn't even alive when the Twin Towers were in Lower Manhattan. I was born 3 ½ years after they were destroyed

Yes
That's a precious document
One World Trade Center. Observation deck. One world observatory.
I wasn't even alive when the Twin Towers were in Lower Manhattan. I was born 3 ½ years after they were destroyed
late 80s surely
I remember that carpet
This gives me a really strange feeling of nostalgia despite the fact that I was born about 9 years after the twin towers fell
Thanks for sharing
They were proud of tourist elevator could go from floor 1 to 110 in one minute!!!!!!
Beautiful ❤️
I'm sure if there was a video taken at that exact spot on 9/11 before it happened, it would sound pretty much the same. Very sad to think about.
I wonder if that child at 13 seconds got her hide tanned moments after the recording stopped?
At 7:17 they're speaking Polish: 😅

no i zrezygnowala bo 3 godziny czekania
sytuacja z biletami wyglada na 3 godziny
1:06 it seems mad to think that planes hitting the twin towers could bring down building 7, it's effing huge.
in the 1970’s…
look at that air pollution
I know right it's so beautiful! 😍
They are in a building that no longer exist 🎓 Poor soundquality btw.
🇺🇲🤝🇧🇩❤️
Thanks for sharing.
🇷🇺
Early 80s perhaps?
I don't think so. Based on the clothing I'd say late 80s or very early 90s.
Lmao, it's in the description
@@Aaron-lr1di I see that - but to me it looks like the 80s
Nah, definitely the Late 80's or Early 90's. Camcorder quality usually wasn't this good in the Early 80's.
Mid to late 80s

Por culpa de George w bush ya no están las torres gemelas
Was anyone on the observation deck when the plane hit the building?
No
It was too early in the morning
7.15 słychać że rodacy z Polski zwiedzali WTC .
