- Korte vakantie in New York, met mijn vader en broer, van 3 t/m 8 december 1993. Met beelden van o.a. het World Trade Center, en luchtopnames vanuit een helicopter. Opmerking: de tekst "Williamsburg Bridge"bij 11:22 is niet juist, dit moet zijn "Manhattan Bridge"
Short trip to New York City, together with my father and brother, from 3 to 8 December 1993. With footage of the World Trade Center, and aerial view from a helicopter. Remark: the text "Williamsburg Bridge" at 11:22 is not correct, this is actually the Manhattan Bridge - บันเทิง
Ahh 1993, what a beautiful year. Twin Towers, good movies,good TV shows, good cars, CDs, cassettes and good music.
Twin towers were bombed in ‘93 mate. Hardly a good year for them
It's just the nostalgia that makes everything look good
Damn good year!!

What makes the 90's great is that, there was enough technology, people still knew how to live life, embracing the moments. I guess the generation that lived during the 90's were the luckiest of all humankind. A peaceful time to live in.
Peaceful, but not in the Eastern Europe or some other parts of the world. Maybe just in the US.
@@NomadicDmitrydefinitely just peaceful in the U.S. Central America was riddled with wars, as well
@@Informacionalist Yugoslav wars too...
Every country has a sort of golden per-technology era. For us Argentinians, it was around 2006 to 2015. As a poorer country, we had delays when catching up to technology, so, for instance, the Internet was just starting to become a household commodity, smartphones and tablets were nowhere to be seen (aside BlackBerries), music was still played on CDs and some pirating websites were starting to pop up, the PS2 was still the go-to console, and there was SOME economical stability (after the 2001 Argentinian economic crash, and before it plummeted again).
December 8, 1993 was the exact day I was born. What a coincidence that I randomly came across this video.
I w=as born 35 ears before
I WAS BORN 3 MONTHS B4 U.
justin290 exactly 7 years before I was born
justin290....You really think it is a coincidence. Look beyond the veil young man. A 1964 native NY'er. 9/11 changed all.
@ALF Raydough of course this video in December 1993 catches the Twin Towers reflecting on a horrible and scary year, to be totally eclipsed 8 and a half years later
I was 22 yrs old in 93 and I loved that era. That's when some of the best Rap/Hip hop music came out from New York! ✌🏼
Bro I fuck swear you'll had it going on back in the day! December 8th 1993 bro....DECEMBER 8th!!!! Midnight Marauders and 36 Chambers released a month before then bro!!! And you were 22 back then smfh...soooo lucky you were. Id kill to be the age I am now during the fall/winter of 93 (20 years old). How were the women, did you get up in a lot of them back then and how life as you went through it everyday?
+DaOldSchoolRapLova96 Well I grew up in Hawai'i but loved the Hip Hop music scene, Always kept up with it. That's when MTV was MTV and they would actually play music videos. Yo MTV Raps. But from the late 80s to the early 90s was the shit. Remember Das Exf?.."Bumstiggity, Bumstiggity bum..a rum pa pum pum"
+Ruff Riders hell Yey j know Das Efx! But damn so u didn't grow up in NYC then? At least u saw a lot of what was goin on back in the day that's for sure b!
+DaOldSchoolRapLova96 I'm pretty sure '93 is when the World Trade Center got bombed. I remember that!..Was all over the news!
+Ruff Riders yey it was a failed attempt to mess with its structure. Too bad they achieved the results 8 years later smh
I lived in Manhattan for about 5 years starting in 1989. The scenery shown in your video reminds me of those days.
Your video of the World Trade Center is precious.
I am also making a documentary about New York City in the early 90's, so I found your video very interesting.
reply this comment with your documentary please. i want to watch it.
I can watch random videos of NY all day. What a great era for so many things.
This is the time when movies and songs are still GOOD
But technology progressed more slowly compare to now.
@@DragonPupEclipse Innovation was much better in the 90s. Today we mostly have updated versions of what the 90s already had. Cellphones, PCs, laptops, game consoles, CDs etc. Even touch screens were a thing in the 90s, the forerunner of the smartphone.
@@fringelife I wasn't talking about that lol
@@fringelife And maybe more importantly people were more happy and content in the 90s.
fringelife I mean, we're still perfecting them to this day!
I visited NYC in the summer of 1994. Fascinating place.
Thank god I was born in 89. I got to experience old new york and my childhood was great. I miss it. Rip WTC
I could watch videos like this all day. I was 16 in 93. What a great era for almost everything. Great video!
Are you 45 or 46?
@@adambahmi9194 I turned 46 in March.
9:39 - Look at the shadow they cast... Beautiful.
They look like a beautiful couple on their honeymoon, they stood there together, and they fell together, side-by-side, forever tall

Man, these were so much better times than today!
Glad I'm born in '86 !

That was when New York was New York with the twin towers, and without the smartphones.
we are still proper New Yorkers we still stay strong even after 9/11 and the 93 bombing we are New Yorkers an we will always be New Yorkers!!!!
@@durk___jamskwknw3384 you just being fat American

Darth Vader wow calm down Jamal don’t pull out the 9
New York was New York before the twin towers and it will be after.
I use to dream of visiting New York city and going to the top of the WTC but ever since that fateful day it just isn't the same feeling of wanting to go anymore 😔! It's nice to see these videos of the city back when everything seemed so normal and the Twins Dominated the skyline
What a sad place the world has become after 9/11 😔
The death of optimism. Remember when everything was about progress and moving forward? I can't either. My generation has existed with nothing but regression. Nothing to look forward to in the world. Nothing but negativity.
Fuck my generation
I have faith that Optimism will return in the 2020s, everything's a cycle, as they say.
@@Reaper_One This decade (2020s) is going to be like the 1960s.

@Ryan Knox Since my original comment nearly 6 months ago, I fully agree it's all getting worse to unthinkable, got this worsening pandemic, economic collapse is pretty much imminent and now most of our major cities are on the road to resembling Beirut in 1975. Yea it really took a 180 since that 'foolishly optimistic' comment I left back in January!

This is amazing. I love how everybody is looking up enjoying life while they walk instead of being addicted and having fun on smartphones, those 1986-1990 and 1991-1996 Chevrolet Caprice cabs were driving around the streets, and best of all, the Twin Towers were still standing.
Now Ubers are driving around the streets of Manhattan, NY.
I'm probably in this video, I just can't be seen! Worked in the north tower until 1998.
I was 17 in 93 and it seemed so long ago . There was a sense of privacy, if people wanted to get in contact with you they would beep you. Just a different vibe, great times!
That transition of being on the plane to being in New York feels so bad but so good at the same time
a world without camera phones
Better times.
@Shoreline RailfanAgree :)
You don't have to use them if they bother you so much.

I really love watching videos when the WTC still existed. There's never going to be a pair of buildings like that, with so much elegance and distinction.
I’m watching this now in 2019, I first came here in nyc in 1994, I was 23 then, just starting off my life as a new immigrant in nyc,used to go to the World Trade Center, there was a lot of shops on the basement section, those were good times!
You are lucky because there was a bombing there

I remember being young back in those days and visiting the Twin Towers thank you for the Memories

So sad to see the Twin Towers. If only the twin brothers were there today as well. They used to give a magical touch to the New York skyline.
I was only a few months old in Jersey City when this was all being taped.
I am awe struck, this was the golden era, no social media, the only technological advance was the (sony Walkman), the cell phone was about the size of a ham radio, and the most important sight was The World Trade Center, it was an awesome sight in the NYC scenery!
Let's not talk about social media like it's poison. I don't care for it but still.
Amazing footage. Give me a time machine now, back to a time when things were far simpler.
I'm with you on that one. What a time to be alive.
The 90s was my favorite decade. I was in my thirties and single . The city was still affordable. Women didn't walk around with their heads buried in a cell phone.
People would walk around, looking everywhere, instead of looking at their smartphones.
The twin towers was THE symbol of New York. Now it´s like Paris without The Eiffel Tower. Like pizza without cheese.
Nah cause we still have the empire state building that's the symbol of NY nothing against the WTC I actually think they was beautiful buildings
Exactly those 110 stairs twin towers are wonder of the world. Missed
its hard to believe that they will probably always be some of the biggest buildings ever constructed and they only stood for 30 years
9/11 made such an impression on me because I agree with you, I’d grown up with the twin towers as being THE symbol of New York. The first time I can clearly remember approaching New York was on the Amtrak train from Boston arriving in the evening, the sun was going down and the Twins were silhouetted against the setting sun. Made me realise we were almost there. So sad that they’re gone forever and that that time has gone.
You still got the statue of liberty.
I was 22 years old when this vid was taken, took the written test for the FDNY, was super fit training for the physical test (could do 40 pull ups with some cheating lol) and run up 6 flight of stairs with 70 lbs on my shoulder and not be out of breath(I invented CrossFit before it officially became something haha)...got called finally in 1998 for the job but by then kinda gave up on the dream but landed a job making 6 figures at one of the television broadcast companies in midtown and having the time of my life meeting the women of nyc...I almost ponder once a week if I would have taken the job if I would be one of the 345 firemen that gave it all on 9/11...God bless, you were all hero’s and I will certainly never forget...Support your local fire/police dept, They need it more than ever.
Humblebrag comment
Wish I could've been born earlier and experience nyc around this time period. It looks so calm and peaceful and especially with the World Trade Center being there
Christopher Trujillo It was incredible!!! I wouldn’t trade the experience of being here during that time for anything...it was the best time/best place on earth!! 🙌🏾
@Regan MacBannon Mason Trump bragged about having the tallest building in lower Manhattan on the same day the towers fell. You're worshipping a narcissistic, evil man.
Trump's quote on 9/11: "I mean, 40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually before the World Trade Center the tallest, and then when they built the World Trade Center it became known as the second-tallest, and now it's the tallest,"
@Regan MacBannon Mason Donald is a pathological liar, so I don't trust any of his stories. I've never read anything about him offering to pay for reconstruction. He didn't even own that land, so that would be a ridiculous offer in the first place. I'm sure he lied about that as well. The land was owned by Larry Silverstein, who wanted to rebuild right away and had the money to do so himself, although there was a long battle over the insurance claim for the two buildings. Silverstein wanted a double payout, one for each tower. The insurance company fought for one payout. I believe Silverstein ended up winning that battle. The other reason for delay in rebuilding on that site was the understandable backlash from the victims' families. They consider it sacred ground, as that is where their loved ones died tragically. Compromises were eventually made and now we have One World Trade and the 9/11 Memorial on the site today.
@@MeiToob i dont think Donald is bad or the good guy

Thank you tourist for record this, pure gold.
What a perfect video. I cannot thank you enough for that. Damn, i miss those twin towers so much, even though i'm from Germany. The World Trade Center did fit so perfectly in the skyline. They were so beautiful and huge.
Oligampla I don’t agree on them fitting into the skyline but that’s what made them so beautiful to me: they stood out and did not just blend in with the rest of the city. That’s why I love them so much
@@mariusberger3297 they stood out, in a beautiful NY style and unique way. One WTC however doesn't imo. It stands out as well, but not in the lovely way the twin towers did.
@@sdsocal2374 The One World Trade Center fits The New York City Skyline in its own way just like The Twin Towers did
@@Wrestling316 meh....if you say so!
@@melanieanderson8357 I stick by what I said lol, I like The One World Trade Center and nothing’s gonna change my mind

@@hectorlopez1069 no doubt they will remember it for the rest of their lives
Maaan....ahhh...l miss that era.
This looks most similar to Home Alone 2:Lost In New York
Elijah Shane lol
Uhhhh. What!?
Because it was filmed in new york and this video is of new york.... is that puzzle easy enough to put together for you
And Donald Trump is in the movie
Those scenes from Central Park, the Christmas Tree with all the Holiday decorations were exactly where Home Alone 2 was shot.
I think only older people in there 40s & up will realize how much freedom we have lost in the last 30 years or so
I agree. We've lost so much freedom, especially since 9/11.
Thanks for sharing this precious memory.
Superb footage of New York in gentler times.This needs saving for future generations.In the UK we just don't get buildings of this magnitude.
What's crazy is that this was only 8 years before 9/11, meanwhile 9/11 happened over twice that long ago 😳
And only 10 months after the first WTC bombing
Yeah and the first bombing attempt
im sorry but please stop bringing up 9/11 the video has nothing to do with it it has the buildings but nowhere in the video does it talk about 9/11 or 1993 bombing ok?
Good old days. I was 14 in 1993 now I’m 40. Wow what the hell happened to time!!
Pier 17!! So many memories here. Thank you and great video!
I have no idea who did this video but I'm so glad they did as it brings back all the happy day's of new York many thanks love from Australia
Wat een geweldige beelden van het New York uit de jaren 90'. Bijzondere beelden van onder meer de Joe Camel campagne die destijds nogal controversieel was. Het shot van 11:20 met de Manhattan Bridge en daarachter het voormalig World Trade Center is echt fenomenaal. Hartelijk dank voor het uploaden van deze video.
Wow that shot at about 11:22 looks/feels epic. I'll keep the sadness out of this message and just admire, like 2 literal giants standing there in their mighty glory! Wow what a sight to see!!
I loved the shot at 8:35 alot better, just towering giants, Wow!
thank you for posting this
So sad. 25 years is a tiny amount of time in a nation's lifespan. Look at the shocking difference between the people there in 1993 and what you see today. It is tragic to see how quickly, and how decisively, things have declined.
@@SocialistView is there a good documentary about this somewhere? like adam curtis style?
It was worse back then. This was during the Crack epidemic of the late 80s/early 90s. New Yorks crime rate was at an all time high.
NYC went from having the most impressive skyline in the world to having a tacky junky skyline all within 10 years.
Good old days when I was growing up in 90s things were a lot better than today simple and beutyful can't believe how short life is.....
It's Amazing all these beautiful artwork and dedication to build these beautiful Palaces !!
55% of people came here cuz the Twin towers
25% of people came here to talk how about how amazing the 90s were compare to today
20% of people came here to talk shit about cellphones
@@elizabethchilders7803 same
And 100% Came to shit on Today’s Society

Pretty much the 90s was awesome brw
I'm one of the 25% ♥️
I feel like these videos are so chill. I find it really easy to relax to these, when I watch these.
I LOVE WORLD TRADE CENTER!!!

Except that it's only one building

inside job bro. get a brain
I miss the old 80’s - 90’s caprice taxis cause it was nice seeing two different generation cars being used , Boxy and aero. I miss those days.
Can’t believe they’re gone. Never forget.
Starting around the 8:00 mark, that was really different, seeing the World Trade Center framed between other buildings. I liked that. My parents took us on the Circle Line tour, back in the 70s. We also went up inside the Statue of Liberty. I enjoyed seeing the New York Hospital from the river. That's where I was born. Very interesting video.
Wonderful video, thank you very much.
i was a infant 8 months old here wow holy throwback i wish i was old enough to enjoy the 90's seems more simple times less issues people seemed way more happier
Back in the day, can it be it was all so simple then?. Looking how things are now, yes it was. Growing up in Brooklyn I really miss the good old days.
Not sure if anyone else has commented about it yet, but you notice the buzzing in the camera's audio when they are at the top is due to interference in the signal from the antenna on the north tower.
This is awesome! I was wondering if you muted some of the background sounds - it sounds different in some parts. This is just a great walk down memory lane! At 8:03 or so, the shots of the Towers is just heartbreaking and beautiful. A truly loving tribute to the beauty of NY! Thanks for this!
Lovely video!
December 8, 1993 I was 18 years old, 6 months out of high school and now I'm sooo missing the 90's!
Great footage - thanks! The New York that was...
I lived in NYC at this time. Thanks!!
Lawwd knows I miss my era 80’s baby in here
Good Olde 1993. Life was day-to-day routine for me, simplicity at its finest.
As the song goes "If I could turn back time", I would do it in an instant.
Sublime. Great footage.
Really like the opening of the wing of the plane view from the window turning into a paper plane. Nice graphics.
I turned 27 in Dec 1993 , I used to go to NYC alot then ,I used to take the train from Hicksville, now I live in Marietta Ga since 2009.
I call BS. Post proof
Born in 93 and now I’m 27.. time flies
My mom was very young at that time,and i was a new born baby at that time,and now i'm a 29 yr old guy almost 30,time passes by so quickly
I was 9 month old baby 😩now I’m almost 26 with my own kids !! wow time flies
I was 5, now I'm 30.
No kids ;-)
I was 97, you do the math
Back then I had no lung failure. Please take me back then.
Growing up in New York I remember when someone put a bomb in the wtc parking garage in February 26th 1993 it was crazy they tried to take the The towers down but failed 6 people died 1000 were injured it was just awful
I wasn't born yet on that year, but I was born in April 2001 after 5 months later it hit the WTC. 😥😥
Well captured ,thanks for sharing ...
At 11:30 that is not the Williamsburg Bridge, that's actually the Manhattan Bridge. Besides that, great footage. I was 3 in '93.
Thanks for your correction, Charles !
Yea I knew the towers looked waaaay too close to the bridge for it to be Williamsburg.
U looks very old
Was gonna say the same, but glad I looked first. Great video otherwise. I was a kid walking around town with my family in the winter of ‘93, I wonder if you were on the island at the same time.
This is so relaxing im watching this at midnight
I miss them good days I just entered high school that year & I’m from New York & that’s how I remember it school trips & all and it was gang crazy like it is now.
26 years later and those same D and 6 trains are still in use
Mooi,leuk om te zien !!
Ja, New Amsterdam is prachtig. Oud Amsterdam trouwens ook.
Love your video and love The World Trade Center!
Growing up in Brooklyn seeing the Twin Towers was always amazing. Its like anywhere in the 5 Boroughs you can see it. I visited the WTC and went to a game at the (original) Yankee Stadium in May 96' thru a student exchange program from my JHS. Sad to see both gone now but never forgotten! I love NY!

i was 22 years old living in queens
Lucky bastard
The towers were so damn amazing.
I really miss the WTC. I know it wouldn’t have been practical, but I wish the Twin Towers were put right back the way they were after 9/11.
The city of New York should have rebuilt the original trade center back up. The new one looks unrealistic.
Trump will build them so many will come
I agree, just to tell the b@st@rds they weren't successful tearing them down. And they were beautiful and iconic. They WERE New York.
The old towers were old fashioned and unsustainable, the UN wanted something more futuristic and energy efficient so they build these sad buildings.
@@Rolaciss12 I like The New One World Trade Center
It's basically the same today except the cars and smartphones. It's probably cleaner now than it was then.
