Even with One WTC, lower Manhattan without the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers feels like a major void
yes
It also even still seems like an incomplete site, to which it technically is but the way they built the original World Trade Center and how everything just connected together on that land was just perfect. In my opinion nothing seems to just click now, nothing seems to match or anything. But the original World Trade Center, everything just matched perfectly. They were truly the best pieces of modern day skyscraper architecture the world has ever seen in my opinion. They were just so iconic. Now just a mere memory.
No
Nah. I know how most of us feel about the twin towers right now but come on they were just two massive boxes. At least One WTC has some kind of shape
Maybe
I wish they were still there
Same
Me too 😢
But rip signs theres no way it biulding😢
*People complain how ugly the twin towers were and wished to redesign or turn down them they got what they asked for now they want it back.*
Same
The photo at 0:40 is so depressing,
it's nearly like the exact opposite of David Monderer's photo from september 11th, which was taken before the attacks, and is one of the last known photos to have been taken of the original towers still in peace.
The sky and overall atmosphere is now all gray and cloudy, much opposite to the sunny and clear sky on the morning of that day,
and of course, the 2 most noticable giants are forever gone from the skyline.
The fact they're both taken from pretty much the same angle really shows how diffrent it looks and feels.
The one at 4:01 is like it’s showing the ghosts of the two towers.

When the Twin Towers were first built, everyone thought they were ugly, and a gigantic eyesore on the NY skyline (especially from those who originally worked in Radio Row: which was demolished to build the said towers). But they eventually worked their way into people's hearts, and saw them as iconic staples of the city. When they were destroyed in the wake of tragedy, people then reevaluated their significance and gained an appreciation for them. I think the same thing will happen with the new WTC. The people who say things like "REBUILD THE TOWERS!", or "THEY'RE NOT THE SAME" _now_ , will eventually grow accustom to One World Trade, and see it as a symbol of rebirth, and a tribute to those we lost on that day.
That's exactly how I've been thinking about it. Having never seen the original WTC in person, I only ever knew the new one. I recently got to see One World Trade up close in person, and I think it is beautiful. My hope is more people come to appreciate it for what it is in time. It is an absolute masterpiece in it's own right, just like the original twins were.
People criticized the Twin Towers for being generic, and then are now criticizing the Freedom Tower for being generic and wished they still had the Twins. People don’t appreciate and value something until it’s gone.
I grew up in a post-9/11 world as I was only a baby on that day, so all I know is the Freedom Tower and the construction of the building. I have an easier time appreciating it the way it is.
Freedom Tower is beautiful and no one can convince me otherwise.

I love how you showed the evolution of both. It makes me a little bit emotional actually because you've shown what we once had but then you also showed us how we've rebuilt as a nation. The One WTC is slowly growing on me :)
That’s because it’s going through the same growing pains as the Twins. When they were built in 1973 they were criticised for being generic. But over time they grew on people and became American icons. The same thing is happening with One WTC.
same
Personally I don’t think it will ever grow on me. Not only is it cheap looking but just one building replacing the skyline doesn’t seem right
@@Bj-240cheap?
Hmm what was the definition of the word "rebuilt"?
I think what people don’t understand is just rebuilding the 2WTC would be disrespectful to those who died, if they just made a replica. Making the 1WTC is more of a memorial than a rebuild. That is why I appreciate this design over a copy
Yeah and ever since 9/11 they can't build the same again so they agreed that one should be bulit
I somewhat agree but you have to take into consideration that the memorial and WTC 1 have already been built the section. They would build the 2nd tower would not be close to where the original tower was. Now If they just built right over where the towers used to be that would be disrespectful but they haven’t built the second tower and I don’t really want them to Becuase the 1 World Trade Center won’t be “see the whole world” Becuase the 2nd tower would be blocking it. But until then they can’t make their minds Becuase they don’t need the new office space so maybe a smaller building could be built but that’s sadly not happening.
I miss the original building’s but this is also good.
I like this, but this is better
The old WTC looked like two bricks stand, the new wtc is more modern frame.
@@InglesDinamico100 Old one is much better.
@@InglesDinamico100 Agreed but it feels more empty like a void.
@@InglesDinamico100The Old WTC looked better because of history
I love both versions equally. One day what I’d love for them to do is build a new set of classic-styled towers next to the new building. Respect is key however, and I do understand their reasoning for not rebuilding.
Same here, both are bland but in each there’s something special that makes up for the blandness
@@four4eightthere’s something about the old WTC that stands out
@@ElmoreStreamsthat there were two of them. Other than that they were boring ass gray boxes.
@@Eli-ss9gjthey got away with being boring cause there were two of them
@@NavixGD It’s the common design concept that in order for something to be recognisable, its one-shaded silhouette must be too.
A single tower is just a rectangle. The north tower may be a bit more unique because of its antenna, but all in all, the overall shape is still a rectangle. With TWO towers, however, the silhouette of two rectangular buildings is instantly recognisable as the Twin Towers.
Fun fact
They actually recovered a ship wreck in construction
I do remember hearing about this ship wreck. It was a revolutionary war era ship that they uncovered. From what I've heard the ship was found exactly 6.7 meters, or nearly 22 feet below ground, just south of where the twin towers stood before they were destroyed in the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. It was not detected during earlier construction.
From the mud flood probably
16 acres. The twin towers overpowered the site so much, but when they were gone the scale of loss is visually unbearable. I'd have loved to see them rebuilt with a refined design, but at the same time I think the pools marking where they once stood as hallowed ground is most appropriate. I hope one day the twin towers will rise again, but it won't be on this site. And it certainly won't be the world trade center.
Yeah
Fun fact: In one of the 2001 One WTC building phases, you can see a brief instance of 3 original WTC entrances, stating that there was originally gonna be 3 WTC's instead of one renovated WTC. Meaning they planned to rebuild the whole thing with a bit of sneaky extras, but they quickly settled with One.
The WTC had, I believe, 7 buildings, 2 being the Twin Towers, so I'm assuming u mean a 3rd tower like the twin towers?
no he means the third building of the World Trade Center (Marriott Hotel) but they stopped before rebuilding twin towers again and when for the 1 WTC we know today
Can you give a timestamp?
@@train_dude_youtube9 ah ok
I think the new WTC is starting to grow on people. It’s really the centerpiece of Lower Manhattan redevelopment, the amount of genius it must’ve took to convince people to not only WORK downtown again, but actually live there is insane. We will never forget those who were lost, but I believe the new complex gives people at least a glimpse of what downtown was like before the attacks. The observatory and PATH station is always bustling!
I saw a documentary that it showed how architects design the structure in a way that if another tragedy similar happened there would be a way for people to escape . Apparently they added layers and layers of thick steel around the staircases to protect them at all cost .
Im not a fan of modern architecture but the new wtc looks really good, especially for the small amount of space they had to work with
As someone who was born ten years after the attacks, its crazy that it happend. every year on september 11th we always learn about it, and it always pulls on my heart strings. Also, since my class wasnt alive for it, there is a sad amount of 9/11 jokes being thrown around. It makes me sad when people joke about that.
Teenagers may be violent
Agreed.
So are you 13 now?
@@ozgamerab8780Yeah, they're around 13-14 years old now, 2001+10=2011
omg same
Every year on sep 11, there are a bunch of kids who make jokes. it’s sad
I am 14, so no one in my class was alive
My mom’s friends were unfortunately caught on American Airlines flight 175. Gay couple with a three year old adopted son. Daniel Brandhorst and Ronald Gamboa, and their 3-year-old son, David Reed Gamboa Brandhorst.
Flight 175 was not American Airlines, but actually United Air.
@@SuperRonaldo90exactly that was what i was confused on
Flight 175 was United. Flight 11 was American. (Jan Griffiths).
Everything is repairable. Except human lives and souls of relatives who lost their beloved ones
Lindo e ao mesmo tempo triste 😢 como seria bom se nada daquela tragédia tivesse acontecido. Quantas vidas inocentes foram perdidas, quanta dor uma lembrança inesquecível pena q com muito sofrimento 😢 como seria bom se o WTC estivesse lá e nada daquilo tivesse acontecido 😢😢
I agree I wish a timeline where 9/11 didn't happen innocent lives were not lost
If the world trade center didn't fell the new york skyline would be so nice
the skyline will never be the same even as someone whos not american or never been just seeing the pictures with the twin towers where so iconic i wish they could have rebuilt them or made a scaled sown recreation of it just to still see those iconic buildings once more
It was awkward those woke up every single morning with wtc glance towers, sundenly turned meaningless 2002-2013
Damn this TH-cam algorithm really wants me to rewatch 9/11 content over and over again
Gracias a Dios se levantaron y ahora vuelven a sonreír. Espero algún día visitar esa ciudad
I hate that they didnt build 2 of them. 2 world trade should be inspired by the old design, should be just as tall as the new trade center.
same man.
Well they were but they realized that, that would be a huge treat to the city cuz they could attack again so they are building the whole complex but still not finished with the 2 tower 🙄 but finished with the rest but the official reason they didn’t rebuild cuz it would be disrespectful to build in the same spot were people passed away rip for the family who lost members. But they wanted to honor the ones who died so they decided to build around the original spots of the towers like a reflection on the people who passed there and the built pools not swing pools but so the other towers can reflect. Hope that made you understand why.
Great video!
I'm glad to have grown up in New York in the 1990s!
@@twelve890 Yes, best decade ever and was lucky to be a kid during that time!
@@rknine7998do you remember some pictures in your head of the World Trade Center?
I actually been to New York and I went in that one world trade center tower!🙂
Same😊
I would love to go and see the new buildings, the memorial pools, and the museum. However, the current state of NYC scares me. I would fear for my safety every second I was there. It wasn't like that in 1979 when I visited there to celebrate New Years at Times Square to kick in the 1980s. I took lots of pics (8 albums worth) of my visit. Lots from the original WTC. And from Times Square that New Year's Eve. From videos I've seen, the place is beautiful. I would love to see the new, and take the very same 35mm camera I took on my original visit. RIP to all those lost. Never forget. (Jan Griffiths).
I just can't bring myself to call it the World Trade Center. For those of us around back then, the Twin Towers were the WTC. To me, it'll always be Freedom Tower. I use to think the name was cheesy, and maybe it is, but it embodies something new while also encapsulating a moment in time.
Fun Fact: The Location Of One World Trade Center & The Performing Arts Center Is Where Building 6 Of The Original Complex Sat. If You Look At The Layout, The Oculus & The Footprint Of Tower 2 (Not Even Started) Is Where Building 5 Sat, Bc Building 5 Had The Entrance To The Shopping Mall/Concourse Level. Buildings 3 & 4 Sit In The Original Footprint Of The Original Building 4. The Twin Pools Represent The Footprint Of Both Towers & A Glass Building Between Those Represent Where The Marriott Once Sat. Building 7 Never Even Changed Positions, Building 7 Went From Trapezoid To Rhombus.
Cuando habrá el segundo rascacielo que sea reemplazadas por las torres gemelas
hm sorry for the question but until now i never was in America, so for me its look like the "Tribute in Light" are not directly on the spot, where the old twin towers were because they are so far away from the fredom tower. Im a right? and what is the reason? thanks!
The music evolution was awesome and very fitting
5 days left to the 22nd anneversary
The New York skyline looked so wrong when they were gone
22 years later, yet 2WTC, 5WTC, and 6WTC have still not started construction.
Build with Millionen tears and a Lot of sadness ...but also with Hope Tor the Future .💕🌈💪🌏🙏
What they should have done is build another World Trade Center like the brand new one that they built but not to make the New York citizens mad and upset
The first song is my cousin!
The new Building sort of looks like they intersected the twin towers into one building
7:08 These photos demonstrate to us the spectacular engineering and architecture that New York City has.
Did you know that the Empire State Building was built in the 1930s?!
It’s gone the old World Trade Center it got destroyed in 11 2001 😢😢😭😭😭😭
New york will never be the same😔
:( World Trade Center 😢9/11/2001
4:14: This picture is like the newbie somehow overthrowing the master.
God bless everyone, but its not a sin to say that those buildings were giant cinder blocks and this building exudes strength and beauty more than any skyscraper ive ever seen .
All we have is a walling pool as a Australian that’s nothing more then pathetic. As long the twins are not rebuilt. It will just turn that part of Manhattan be seen a wailing pool for something that’s lost just rebuild the darn things. FFS. Or build them in Sydney or Melbourne where it’s not holy ground.
Love how in about 2 to 3 years we just said “Well fuck that!” And decided to just make a unique and tall ass building. 😭😭
Should’ve just played “One” by Aimee Mann.
It's interesting that 1 WTC's design sort of incorporates the original's square design at the very top. Even though it's all glass, it still has the visage of the original, kind of like mirroring what hasn't been there for more than 20 years now.
Why you delete video about twin towers bruh
Wait How Many People Died On Twin Towers??
3000 aroundish
2,997
@entender-if5lb no your wrong 😑

Can't imagine an alternate universe where the original towers would just still be there when they were and New York would still be known for them. I just can't imagine that
As a New Yorker who remembers 9/11 like it was yesterday, I do miss the twin towers, but I gotta admit I like the new complex more, and I understand and agree with them decided not to build another tower
I still remember sitting in my living room with my brother watching cartoons and my dad coming in and saying there was a terrorist attack in new york and changed it to the news... Can't believe how much time has past.
Imagine both of them was here
My parents had a picture of New York at the time and you could even light it up. I've never been to New York, but for me the Twin Towers were the symbol and landmark of New York. Many people want these 2 WTC Twin Towers to be rebuilt. I also think it would be better if they were rebuilt. I see problems because One WTC is there and where should the Twin Towers be? Back at Ground Zero? There is also an unfinished Two WTC, which is not yet finished or construction has been stopped. It would take up a lot of space and who would move into the Twin Towers again? That makes the whole thing difficult. Rebuilding WTC 1 and 2 only works with the security of One WTC and a lot of things would have to be done differently.
Te apoyo amigo , realmente me parese buena idea que lo reconstruyeran
Pero en otra parte no en el monumento eso seria horrible
Mejor en otro sitio de nueva york .
Мне хотелось юы чтобы башни близнецы все еще стояли там
5:00 top of the rock
That’s not the rock it’s the wtc
The view tho
Yk what’s crazy people miss a building more than the people who died in the building
i lke the song at the end most great video
The new WTC is honestly one of the ugliest buildings in the entire NYC skyline. The windows are mismatched, I can't stand those stupid circles on top of the building, the antenna anchors looks ridiculous, I could go on.. It looks cool at night when they light up the antenna with different colors but they hardly ever do that any more. I don't even like walking near it, I get strange vibes from that whole area.
It's crazy that ONE building cost twice as much to build than the twin towers and the entire original WTC complex including the mall underneath even after adjusted for inflation.
Well, at least we have those two pools that used to be the twin towers
The evolution of one World Trade Center (2001-2024).
ES LINDA PERO NO HAY COMPARACION. LAS DOS ERAN IMPONENTES, MAJESTUOSAS...PERO TODO SE RENUEVA 🤷
Pero solo eran 2 bloques de cemento que no eran tan majestuosos con el nuevo
What’s the song called when it shows the twin towers after it collapsed
Akon Beautiful
Fun Fact: One World Trade Center is NOT actually blue, It's really silver, most photos may give off the illusion that it is blue but in reality it's just the sky reflecting on the building's glass facade

I hate this design so much I live across from it in jersey I see it every day
The old ones were cool. But the new one is so sharp. I wonder what the new one looks like with the old
Just saying if they Survived they would get took down
No they wouldn’t… if they survived they would be staples of New York
@@WhitleyWelchsurvived as in never collapse or never been hit in the first place?
They should have built a twin for the freedom tower without an antenna
The plans for 2 WTC (right next door) still haven't been finalized... so it's still possible in the future...
Where would they put it
@@nba.prodzzz In the planned space for 2 WTC, across the street. Slightly too far away tbh, but would still be cool to have twin towers
The Twin Towers were designed to complement each other. That's why they were heavily criticized, it's because they were meant to look "boring." Only when you place two of them side-by-side does it become interesting.
The new 1WTC was designed to stand alone. Its unique anti-prismic glass design creates intrigue. Another identical tower would overload the senses and would probably not look good.
@@DragonsFan. My point was not that 1WTC is entirely unique, or that the building is more beautiful than other towers (which is subjective). My point was that its design is too complicated to function similarly to the towers of the original complex.
eles vão reconstruir as torres gêmeas? 🙏🏼😩
Nunca irão
Não
Если не в другом месте
They should rebuild the origininal towers this new one just doesn’t fit in
not comparable to the twin tower AT ALL!!
What’s with the music? Is it really necessary?

Our wtc is back!
We aren’t always prepared we learn from mistakes and become stronger and braver from the tragedy’s we come across and smarter..(edit for a few seconds ago): the one world trade shows that we grew
Imagine your a WWII veteran saw all of your friends die and help build the world trade center and on your death bed your watching the news and watch the twin towers crumble. It would make you more sad then all the traumatic events you remember and went through.
Good Work. 👍🏼
I think this one looks better. But I was just turned 2 when 9/11 happened so I don't have a bond with the old towers. 😅
2,977 victims. not the 19 hijackers you could edit it
Me to
songs aren't as great in this one with the exception of the 1st one
If One World Trade Center explodes:
But I think they're not gonna build because it remindss how two thousand people died
I really wanna see them rebuilt but they keep saying “people are gonna be afraid to go in”
i think most of the fear comes from like if people will be too triggered that there might be two instead of one, because it would be too on the spot of rememberin there were once too, but i think tenants should like put that fear aside and reason that maybe there would be even more people who would find nice havin two back, like healin the hole that seein only one gives. I get too that havin one freedom tower is a form of respect becquse there s a hole in the skyline from where the twin towers once were; but I also think it would be an even bigger signal once again onto how much new york as worked to build over that moment and recover from it and how the world in general has come together yes to remember and not forget but also move on from it in a respectful way.
Me Riviera Gustado que las volvieran a construir las 2 igualita aunque no Riviera sido en el mismo Lugar pienso que fueron un parsimonious de la humanidad
