  • The world was changed forever 20 years ago as the Twin Towers and World Trade Center saw the end of their lives. They had been standing for more than 30 years at that point, and had become a significant part of American culture. In this video we review the history of the towers from inception to destruction, fully break down their design, and describe the events that led to their demise, in a G rated video, if kids today even know what that means.

    As with thousands of others I was on a plane heading to the East coast from San Antonio, TX.
    Everything was smooth sailing; beautiful skies, nice temperatures, full plane with attentive attendants. Suddenly the pilot announced for everyone to stop and listen; the plane was making an emergency landing at Memphis, TN. Our plane was not in danger but had been ordered to land by the FAA. Everyone was ordered to put up what ever was loose and buckle in. At that point the attendants swept the plane one last time and buckled themselves in.
    I’ve never experienced a more sudden and dramatic descent. Extremely fast with the nose pitched down considerably. The landing was unremarkable except the ground and taxi speed were higher than normal.
    Arrival at the gate was quick and abrupt. As I entered the gate area I noticed a small crowd had gathered near a shoeshine stand. Curious I approached and saw the first tower after the impact yet before the collapse. I couldn’t read the news crawler along the bottom of the screen so I assumed it was some second world country and continued on. I was devastated later upon finding out it had happened in my great country. The airport TVs we’re shut down at the time so it wasn’t until I reached the ticket counter that I was informed.
    The rest of the day and days thereafter were spent in a hotel room watching the carnage replayed.

    I remember my family’s story about that day. My uncle was in New York and left for Connecticut that day and then returned when it was safe, my dad got stuck in Houston as all the rental cars were taken, and my mom was in the Bay taking care of my brother (I wasn’t born yet). Thankfully, my family was safe.
    Thank you to all the first responders and volunteers. May all the victims rest in peace.

      I’m a New Yorker… but never mind rental cars 🚙- I heard you couldn’t even buy a car in a lot of areas in the country when people wanted to drive back (since they couldn’t rent one either some businessman were literally willing to buy a car!) versus wait since they didn’t even know what day they were waiting until at that point. But they were sold out.

    I was starting my 2nd week of senior year in high school on 9/11/01. I remember that day like if it was yesterday. I remember they completely shut down LA and the news kept reporting that there were reports of a plane heading towards LA and I believe that day was the day I developed Anxiety.
    Every year since, I remember ALL those people that lost their lives on that day. I didn't know any of those people but it hurts me like if I lost a family member. Can't believe it's been 20 years.

    You gave me an answer to a question I’ve been asking for a long time. How did the towers fall like that so fast, especially the north tower when it was hit so high up. It’s because the building were literally a tall cinder block without much support in the middle where the main stairwell was. It was an open space, basically. It crumbled because the buildings exterior, the main support of the building, was penetrated at high speeds.

This lead to the steel beams being weekend to the point of failure. Which resulted in the collapse.

    Mohammed Atta chose the date of September 11, 2001 because it was a Tuesday, when the airlines would have more on-time departures and fewer passengers, hence the planes would be easier to take over. Rumor has it that the original date chosen was Tuesday, October 2, 2001 but was moved up by three weeks when it became apparent that the authorities were beginning to suspect something.

    Great job on your Story of the Twin Towers! I learned so MUCH! Gonna have to watch it again. I moved to Manhattan in 2005 and for years heard so many stories from local New Yorkers about where they were during that horrific event. Almost daily, I ride past the site of the new One World Trade Center, It is beautiful! The tower, to the surrounding areas, are perfectly structured and pleasing to the eyes and heart. You would never know anything had previously occurred. Keep up the great work!!! I love your channel! BTW, for future videos, your pronunciation of Greenwich Street and Vesey are off. But that's easily fixed. :-) Happy Thanksgiving! Brian

    I remember when I was younger seeing the Ground Zero site in late October or early November 2001. My dad's cousin was part of the cleanup effort, so I was able to get a closeup look of the scene (not sure if I was allowed to get as close as we did, but we did). If anyone remembers, there was 2 fences surrounding the site. My dad's cousin was somehow able to get us inside to the inner, shorter fence to get a better look. Even 21 years later, I can still remember the smell of jet fuel and all the flowers and pictures lining the fence. It was a very surreal experience.

    The Twin Towers should never have been destroyed. In fact, 9/11 should never have happened at all. How can you say that the world was "made better by the changes that came out of it" when Bush II's response to the attacks, mainly with the unnecessary invasion of Iraq, led America into becoming a politically divided shit-show we're seeing today? That's not being made better, that's being made worse.
    If 9/11 ended up being a foiled terrorist plot, then honestly, things would be better off. Not only would we see a much calmer, more peaceful political landscape in America (neither Donald Trump or Joe Biden become president), or Saddam Hussein continuing to be dictator of Iraq until his downfall as a result of the Arab Spring (which still happens in a world without 9/11 or the Iraq war, Saddam was pretty much doomed to be toppled from power anyway even if the Iraq War had never taken place. The only way he would continue ruling Iraq until his death of old age would be if the Arab Spring never happened either), the Twin Towers would continue dominating the skyline of NYC, although eventually around the late 2010's they would lose their title to newer buildings in NYC such as One Vanderbilt or the Central Park Tower.
    The World Trade Center would've gone through some changes throughout the 21st Century as a result of its privatization. The Mall, which was just acquired by Westfield in August 2001, would be expanded and renovated, and later reopen around August or September 2002 as "Westfield Shoppingtown World Trade Center". The Windows of the World restaurant would've also received a massive renovation around that time, from around November 2001 until around Spring 2002. However, there would also be some sort of controversy in the mid-2000's from the WHO regarding the North Tower's antenna, something about it causing cancer (At least that's what I've heard on the internet. It might be some random rumor but who knows). The antenna would be replaced with a more eco-friendly one around 2006-07 in response to the health concerns.
    We would continue seeing the Twin Towers appear in movies, TV shows and music videos set in NYC. We would've seen Iron Man fly around the Twin Towers while defending the city from alien invaders in 2012's The Avengers. They would've been the setting for the finale of Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief in 2010. They also would've appeared in music videos of Not Afraid by Eminem, Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys, Hey There Delilah by the Plain White T's, etc.
    The destruction of the World Trade Center was truly a huge loss for the city. Even though they eventually rebuilt the WTC, with One World Trade Center (aka the Freedom Tower) being the main building, and as much as I like the new WTC complex, I just can't help but compare the collapse of the Twin Towers to that of the burning of the Library of Alexandria. Both beautiful landmarks, while both served a different purpose from each-other, are now lost in time as a result of horrific tragedies (The Library of Alexandria's was sadly inevitable but the Twin Towers' was rather preventable).

      Vince985. Great perspective of an alternate outcome of the twins. However I doubt anyone would get cancer from the antenna since it was so far up, unless you spent all your time on the observation deck. BUT I do think people working in these buildings would eventually get cancer from the asbestos in the building materials.

    • @garbagebanditdayz819

      I often wonder how the WTC would’ve changed and evolved with the times into the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.
      Easily one of those which would see changes, would be the Mall at the World Trade Center. Later “Westfield Shoppingtown World Trade Center” a lot of its big name tenants as of 2001 would begin to die or struggle as with most malls across the country. Most of them, including Sam Goody, Borders Books & Music, Warner Brothers, and several others would be gone. Replaced by newer more modern retailers. Maybe an Apple Store in Borders’ formerly massive space in 5 WTC. I often wonder what Westfield planned for the Mall architecturally, as several aspects of the Mall remained unchanged or very similar to how it appeared aesthetically in 1975 when it originally opened. Seeing minor updates in the 1980s, 1993, and 1996 if memory serves.
      The Twin Towers themselves would also see changes as office tenants would begin to leave thanks to changing work habits and environments. The Windows on the World (WOW) restaurant complex in the North Tower (1 WTC) would continue to be popular I’m sure, seeing remodels of its several restaurants. The Top of the World Observatories in the South Tower (2 WTC) would also fare better as by 2001 it was easily one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city apart from the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center.
      I believe that the Twin Towers themselves would only gain more praise as time would pass, their presence in the skyline cemented more and more with each decade. In 2024 at 51 years old, the WTC complex as a whole would have a substantial following by both those who worked there and those who visited as by now several generations had frequented its 16-acre site.
      There was nothing quite like the World Trade Center, a gothic-modernist utopia of concrete and steel. Guarded by two uniform Twin Towers, a hotel, and a spacious Mall. All contained in that massive superblock (apart from 7 WTC). Everything followed a similar design scheme and esthetic, even the Vista and subsequently Marriott Hotel (3 WTC) and 7 WTC which were built later. As cold and uninviting initially as the complex looked from afar, one could find a warm quality in its existence in the little details, thanks to maintained plants, a remodeled Austin J. Tobin plaza with more colored slabs, CenterStage events in the plaza on Spring and Summer months.
      My one thing I struggle with in regard to the new complex. None of the new buildings follow the layout quite like the original did. Except in iconography (i.e. 1 WTC-7 WTC) all of the buildings are office towers now. There is no emphasis on two monolithic squares. Everything is just kind of haphazardly constructed around the beautiful memorial pools.

    I wouldn't say the event changed the world for the better...
    It sparked or at least had some involvement in the 2000 invasion of Afghanistan, which led to the 2001 invasion of Iraq and Pakistan.
    Which ended up being an 18- year conflict until demobilisation in 2019 which then led to the Taliban in Afghanistan basically taking over the entire country because of the damage caused by the US, UK and all Western armies involved.
    The new WTC site has a great legacy, and it's wonderful how it brings people together. But as far as world relations and world peace is concerned, it just gave the US an excuse to make things worse in the Middle East.

    This was a fantastic video. Thank you so much for explaining the conflict and US meddling in the Middle East that led to the creation of Al Qaeda and gave rise to Bin Laden and ultimately led to 9/11. This attack was not random nor was it done because “they hate us because we’re free.”
    I also appreciate you shining light on the fact that the CIA knew the attackers were in the US and refused to share their intelligence with the FBI that could’ve likely stopped the attack.
    In my humble opinion, the CIA willingly turned a blind eye to the threat, intentionally withheld their intel, and ultimately allowed the attack to happen in order to garner the votes from Congress and support from the American people needed to wage full scale war in the Middle East, particularly in Iraq who had nothing to do with 9/11, and to allow for the creation of the Patriot Act which would give the Intelligence Agencies significantly more power and funding. The blood of 2,996 Americans and countless civilians around the world is on the hands of the CIA.

    I'm Canadian but I was living in Europe for a year when 9/11 hit. I was 6 and saw the images on the TV by accident. My dad told me it was pretend but it scarred me for life. I ended up living my life in fear.
    It didn't help that I was supposed to be in China when a bombing had occurred (but cancelled my trip), my parents were at an airport where there was a live mass shooter at one time and I was supposed to be on a boat in Japan when the Tsunami hit in 2011 but went to Italy instead.
    I live in so much fear but I'm still doing my best.

    The Twin Towers weren't the most elegantly designed skyscrapers To exist but just the sight of them was jaw dropping. This is one of the best videos that I've personally watched when it comes to the Twin Towers. 90% of videos on TH-cam about the Towers are just about 9/11 and while of course it's impossible to ignore that dag when it comes to the buildings, and I never want to ignore that day, I also want to learn more about the Towers before the attacks, what they stood for and meant.

I hugged a lot of people that day, and I'm not gonna lie I cried a lot. Walked around my small town willing to do any volunteer work that would help NY or the Pentagon. Felt so empty for so long after 9/11. I'll never forget.

I find that hard to believe given the forever wars in the middle east, and they hundreds of thousands killed in them, where a good result of 9/11. While geopolitics isn't the point of the video, I find it disingenuous to comment on that while saying you can't speculate on a world in which 9/11 doesn't happen.
