- In 1999 our family visited the twin towers, not knowing that two years later tragedy will strike. Life could change in a blink of an eye. Let's enjoy life like there is no tomorrow and pray for all that perished in 9/11
when they aim the camera down toward the St it gives you an idea of how high the people jumped down. scary
I was thinking the same thing.
me too.
There's a VR simulation nowadays so one can experience those gut wrenching 10 seconds of freefall :(
That scary those ppl jump off the tower and that scary when u look down and I wonder y they jump off R.I.P those ppl jump off the tower
@@thehotguy123idk4 yeah I'm afraid of heights, and I'm one of those people who can't process impending death , I mean not than many can, but I probably would have died in the fire from the smoke because I couldn't choose jumping.
its sad to think that everything in this video was destroyed
for me it is so uninmaginable that 9 11 looks like a parallel universe it looks too big and huge to be destroyed for me , i still believe the camplex is still here , my aunt and his husband visited the camplex in 1990 and took pictures they were amazed and loved the place for its unique architecture and design
@@ALYEN513 neocons are the worst and deadliest and dumbest people on earth , professional liars and hipocrites filled with sadism , they are traitors to the US and brought it to bankrupcy and ruined its exterior diplomacy and reputation
@@ALYEN513 i really appreciate you to see facts.
@@TheAbderaman put down the crack pipe.
ofc it is sad, its not a shock bout that...lol
Watching this is like watching a dream, a dream with no cellphones, no rush, no worries….
not a person, looking at their smartphones. It was different, at the time
I was 18 in 1999. They were much better times versus now.
...no airplanes...
@@jamestorrens645 yea but the not the addictive type of phone where you constantly have to check the notifications and updates on the feed
@@jamestorrens645 I bought my first one in 2003. My first smartphone in 2019. Yeah, I'm stubborn.
I'm glad the observation desk didn't open until 9:30, otherwise there would have been even MORE casualties.
Yeah. Just image if you were up there when the north tower was hit
Oh my god. Just unimaginable. I was up there in June of 1997 and just cannot imagine what it would of been like seeing that plane coming toward and crashing into the other tower. We would have been scared and worried shitless and then dead in 30 minutes.
sightgags Not to mention, the planes struck early enough that many of the workers weren't in the towers when they were hit. Had they hit a few hours later, it would have likely been tens of thousands dead, rather than the 2500 that died that day.
Jacob Grain yeah and you think that they weren’t aware of this so why haven’t they done that. Hmmmm
@@jacobgrain5380 that's a point I think about all the time. I also think about if they had crashed the airplanes on the lower floors thousands of people would have not been able to escape since they were above the impact zone and the increase weight of the tower would have made the building collapse much much sooner really killing everyone without a chance to escape.
Its hard to imagine what I'm about to say but things could have been much much worse
Seeing the exact view of those people made me tear up a bit. Just heartbreaking.
It's like you get a automatic feeling of how the jumpers felt.
I bet they suicide
Travis Rain they what?
Travis Rain who committed suicide?
not to be rude I was just thinking that they did but I know lives were lost on that day but im not saying I hate the people
Travis Rain So who committed suicide?
I was on top of the South Tower last time back in 1997 when I was 14. Same day my family and I went to see the Ed Sullivan Theater (me and my dad were huge Letterman fans at the time) and I ate lunch and hung out and talked to Rupert Gee, owner and proprietor of the Hello Deli and who I would consider a legend of comedy gold for being one of the first people to "troll" someone. Hilarious stuff and Rupert was SUCH an awesome guy and let me take tons of pictures and told me all these stories. This was before the internet was even a big thing and it was almost surreal to be sitting there talking to him.
I wish they didn't blow up these magnificent structures. Truly evil.
You got real triggered for a comment that was made 2 years ago
@@thisisforyoutubered284
He is a disinformation agent. He goes and comments like this on several WTC videos. Can't believe they are still paying people like him to do that 18 years later. Unbelievable.
The little girl must be at least 20 by now, and the other two youngsters close to 30. Cute kids they were!
Sad I wasn’t born yet. I was just a baby when the towers collapsed. No older than 10 months
@@emilyustick3738 I just turned a year old the month prior. A few years later as a child, I OBSESSED over the towers and was mad that they were gone
These were majestic buildings. I went up there when I was kid for the first time and was completely in awe with them.
they were beautiful
Thoes poor people of 9/11.....I can not even try to imagine the horror....God bless them.
I hope they are in a better place. Rest in peace to them.
@@hectorlopez1069 same here
I was born in 1987 and i'm in italian. I have never visited the twin towers. But I really wanted to do. When I saw them collapse I was 13 and I was shocked in front of the TV. Rest in peace all the people who lost their lives that tragic 9/11.
The same exact year I was born
Really! Omg then
vV OM3GA Vv Woahhh!
We didn’t have cell phones but the odd thing was we didn’t feel like we were missing anything.
They should have rebuilt them again, BUT TALLER! That in it self would have made a statement !
that VTM production should have been a bit more bigger. Difficult to read it this small
I’ll say it again anyone who got to visit these towers are so lucky you have no idea just seeing them in person or driving by them you’re lucky. I was really young but i lived in NY all my life. Born in 96’ but I’ve been to Manhattan in 1999-2000 ish so I know I probably seen the buildings but too young to know what they really were or to remember lol. Really is sad what happened years later🥺
I get that you don't want anyone ripping off your video, but couldn't you put the VTM Productions somewhere other than smack in the middle of the picture? Maybe off-center just a little? I find it very distracting. Other than that, great video. Thanks for sharing.
my favourite buildings with a unique design seven buildings combined into one giant camplex i wish one day to visit the towers one day for a trip in NY in 2015
+abderaman alzemouri same
Sorry for replying to old comment or joke maybe, but the trade centers are gone.
@@ianschwartz08 i don't accept the reality this is not a normal change the world where i was born no longer exists i miss the 90s
I was there in 1998 too, I wish I had a camera to film myself there too, all I got from the trip to NYC are bunch of pictures
I HAVE A FEAR OF HEIGHTS..OMG THAT'S REALLY HIGH I DON'T KNOW HOW ALL THOSE PEOPLE DIED THAT DAY ON SEPTEMBER 11 2001..
Wish I visited those blindings they look amazing
I think of my husband, his life in the 90s. If only I already knew him back then, and that I could have done things that would change my frustrations about him now.
I also visited the towers in August 2000. Who would have known what would happen only a year later? 😢
@@Gencturk92 The western world? The story is real it was radicalised Al Qaeda terrorists who did it because they hated the western world for no apparent reason. They made the poor people in the planes explode to death, the other people forced to jump to their deaths and others crushed with no trace of their bodies ever found.
@@Gencturk92 A Black Flag operation.
@@jeffjansen582Black flag ?
I cried when I saw the 9/11 happened
we all did
1999 was the good year but 2 years later planes came and SLAMED INTO THE BUILDINGS LIKE WHY YOU SEE THE OTHER BUILDINGS LIKE I DIDNT WANT THE PEOLPE TO DIE IN THE OTHER BUILDINGS BUT YOU WANNA GET THE TALLEST BUILDING EVER OF NYC?!!?!!?!?!?!???!!
there are some days i cry my eys outand other days im so shocked i cant cry
Senseless loss of life and destruction.
In 2001, loss of life and destruction would happen to those two towers.
Superb footage 💖💖💖💖👍👍👍👍
i hate 9/11 Jokes
They're just plane mean.
Too bad the video had to be ruined with the watermark.
Chilling
I remember those cutouts when you walked into the observation deck. I remember one of them depicted what I could only figure was a prostitute. I was a woman in a feathered boa wearing skimpy clothing. I thought that was very odd.
Lol wth
Жесть.... и теперь их нет , такие дома большие конечно
if the twin towers were here today alot of people would take a tour to see the towers and take selfies posted on facebook and instagram
well in 1999, this was before cell phones were mainstream, and not everyone had a camera either. Back then u had to use an actual camera for selfies. Plus, all these chat websites such as Facebook (2004), Twitter (2006), Amazon, MSN, MySpace, WeChat and iMessages didn't even exist back then.
🏢🏢
absolutely
its kinda crazy high really
Sad they are gone thank you United Airlines.
thank you terrorists from the middle east.
I can't understand why the terrorists wanted to take down these precious towers.
revenge
Domestic terrorists.
@@rickhardman7376 Domestic terrorists.
Maybe not Precious but tallest and boldest ?
But I Can’t understand why we rebuilt Smaller and Weaker instead of Avenging !?
apparently these towers represented our economic strength..hence why they attacked them. They didnt know they would be destroyed. That was just another hellish part of the day🤷♂️
良いな行きたかった。
Son españoles
flaca mira dice jajajaja
I wish I was alive to see these towers, so amazing
MKG 5150 same
WhirlPlayz Triple that.
I wish I wasn't old enough to start seeing kids that weren't even born during 9/11 talking about they wish they seen the tower's lol.. This just means I'm getting old cause I just turned 12 and seen them only once in August 2001 during a fishing trip with an uncle in northern New Jersey going into New York
@@themadrapper101 Join the club. The first and last time I was NYC was when I was 9 in '96. I didn't see them up close. It's crazy how time flies.
Same. They looked amazing
all turned to dust!
Very true.

Dustification
and it killed lots of people too.
Not a single person on a phone. That is what life was like back then. People used to talk to each other.
Because phones back then were only used for messaging and calling ya know
Yeah true!!! Very social back then
@BNOZ99 ! how else would this be seen, what is he going to do...send a letter to the entire world
@BNOZ99 ! I'm 16
@BNOZ99 ! When did I mention social media?
if the twin towers were here today alot of people would take a tour to see the towers and take selfies posted on facebook and instagram
horrorable
I'm gonna puke
omg, twins & social media - i would love it 😍
if it was no 9/11 there wouldnt be any social media like today
@@numan2985 Sorry What?
June 24th 1997 was when I went to those towers. Beautifully crafted inside and out just absolutely amazing and way more massive than expected I remember. I remember what a hot day it was and when we got outside way up top it was 15 degrees cooler Lol. I never did a video like these guys did but have lots of pictures to remember it by and still can't believe these towers are gone.
It was the one building I wish I could have visited, but sadly I was born in 97, and am Canadian, so never had the chance. If they were still standing today it would have been the perfect road trip to visit them.
Lots of people comment on this video that were so young when 9/11 happend that they can't even remember that day. Crazy how fast time passed by. I was 17 when it happend and it doesn't feel like a long tiome since then.
me too I was 15 YO
Draufschicker I was like 8 years old and I remember
I was 19 and your right, it doesn't feel like a long time. I still remember it like it was just yesterday. I was off work that day and my older brother came running to my room I'll never forget and told me the Twin Towers have been bombed. Crazy
emello81 I WAS 21 AND I WAS BALLS DEEP IN MY PUG DOGS ANUS WHEN I HEARD ABOUT IT
I was almost 30, and if it weren't for being in my 40's now, I can realize just how much time has passed. What really hits is when I see the drinking age for those today were born in 1996, meaning I'm old enough to have a child who's drinking age- that really hits home!
Thank you for sharing this personal footage with us to remind everyone what an amazing structure the Twin Towers were. Also why it is not surprising to learn they are still loved today.
dvchel thank you we will never forget. Keep for eternity
The Bible predicted the planes flying into towers. Comes see. ( BOA ep 16) link my name to get there.
It's crazy to see from how high the jumpers jumped
They were probably lower than that,You have to see this is the top of the tower
@@francoherrera1265 it's not far from the highest floor where people did jump
@@valmacclinchy I know how sad
most people who jumped would have jumped from a much lower floor than this but yea, still.
No one jumped on 9/11. Give those poor souls some dignity. They fell off against their will.
my good friend's father even said without the 9/11 attacks, the buildings would've stood there for more than 1000 years. Since the towers were opened on 4 April 1973, they're basically saying that these infrastructures would last till 4 April 2973 at least.
At least we had it for a long time
Only 28 years.
Wtc 7 was 14.
Wtc 3 was 20.
1,2,4,5,6 were 28
Я как раз стану свой 1000 летний юбилей праздновать. Интересно, какие тогда компы станут?
1:16 Imagine having to jump out there. Scary AF.
Horrible
A lot of it was monkey see sheepy do, they copied what others were doing (*happens all the time
@@nuckymancini7013 Why criticize them?? You were not there. For the people who were on the floors of and above the impact, many either had to choose between burning alive or immediate death on impact. Others were blocked in and knew there would be no rescue...as it got hotter and hotter, they were inhaling smoke and suffocating. Which would you choose??
Nucky Mancini a lot of it was burning alive and inhaling massive smoke or jumping. Don’t be an ignorant piece of shit
@@melanie6014 That is a scary question.
0:55
Jesus Christ, looking at a such high-up level at the ground just gives me a weird feeling in my stomach...
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. The whole world changed after 9/11. We can re-live those days of peace and happiness through the moments you have captured in this video.
Can’t help but think of the victims feeling when that building collapsed and some fell all the way down , my heart always feels broken thinking of that day
Looking at this the 90s dont seem very different and old
Its almost the same now
Yeah coz the towers are still there.
Cars and general fashion is nothing like the late 90's, perhaps you're too busy looking at your phone/PC to open your eyes and look around you?
Octavian Alexander Who was that even directed at?
It really wasn't like people think they were. Technology was great for that time and people weren't running around with their I phones and trying to act like key board warriors on the internet. We had friends, played outside all the time, and when we wanted to see someone and say hi we actually did. Not comment on facebook and say I went to see or said hi to dad.
nyyyankee This was '99 tho...
It was already quite modern at that time! ('99 - 2000)
Many people say that visiting the Twin Towers was a magical experience. This video illustrates that.
A happier picture of the place is amazing, its a damn pity they are gone.
thank you, brings back memories. was up there in summer 1976 observation deck south tower; and windows on the world early 1980s in north tower. Hence, were no video cameras back then. So thank you. gracias.
that's a long way down. the jumpers had to have been so hot from the fire and choked from the smoke to take that jump. I couldn't bring myself to jump knowing how far it is down unless I was sure it would hurt less than burning alive. probably would now that I think of it. RIP
Touch something very hot and you pull away. reflex action. Exactly the same thing for the jumpers. A wall of heat came at them maybe. The human body instinctively moves away ie out the window.
@@bigmaxy07 Right. That's why they should never be called jumpers. Rather, they fell off the windows against their will.
@@nemospence2724 I'm sure it was both
@@bigmaxy07 To say someone was a jumper would deny him of dignity he deserved. They didn't jump. They lost their consciousness and fell off against their will.
@@nemospence2724 Stop jumping to conclusions, some did jump, in fact many jumped in tandem holding hands. Stop slandering these people.
That's a great camera. Most of the video footage I've seen from then is no where near as clear.
😎🇺🇸 thanks for sharing this.
Never forget people! God bless America!
Fascinating to see these shots. I was taken up to the cocktail lounge at Windows on the World for my 35th birthday. I am very much annoyed, however, at having "VTM Productions" smack in the middle of the picture throughout the entire video. That's very selfish. Even TCM puts the logo down in the corner, and then only intermittently. You have come close to ruining an otherwise fascinating glimpse into the past.
Oh yeah, thats right. A reason for me to dislike although it is one of the best Videos, which online is. I don´t mean you +George Schneider. I agree with you.
TH-cam is such a time machine to allow us to be back in the buildings like this...even if only in our hearts...smh...Iraq war vet here and I'm glad I got to fight for the victims of 9/11 may all your families be blessed
As far as I remember, the South Tower collapsed first.
i really couldnt fathom the idea of jumping from tht height.... i mean if i was conscious hell no.... those guys must have pass out or been engulf in flames.... jumping from 3 storey is already scary.... 80+ floors up... INSANE
So many kids......
And you weren't born yet... Lol
I was 1 actually. But why is it bad to point out that there were kids in that tower? It seems like nobody can ever say something without someone having some snarky ass reply.
Undim Who aren't kids anymore...
No way I would have ever went up there, my heart is in my throat, I have such a fear of heights 😱
Might have gone up there in my younger days, like around this time. As I've gotten older I've also grown more chicken!lol
Me too
that sound at 5:01 is probably interference from the north tower antenna
So proud of you stranger on the internet, I just can't explain it in words how proud of you I am, so I won't.
@@GlobeWarmer Lucky you, just when you thought you knew everything. Cheers
Maps were the directions in those days, instead of a smartphone.
good
OMG THOSE TWIN TOWERS WERE SOO BIG AND BEAUTIFUL
BOTH OF THE BUILDINGS HAD
107 FLOORS MY GOSH
I WOULDN'T GO ON TOP OF THE TOWERS. TO THE VERY LAST FLOOR
IT'S SCARY TO SEE THE CARS SOO TINY..
AND BESIDES AM AFRAID OF HEIGHTS..
I FEEL LIKE AM GOING TO FALL OFF THE BUILDINGS..
I'm afraid of heights too. I can't watch this. I'm hurt because of the people who made a choice to jump, or to burn to death.
I was 25 years, 9 months and 9 days old when 9/11 happened.
I was 21 years, 1 month, and 12 days when 9/11 happened. I would have never have thought that something like this could have happened in the US.
Looks so care free, and innocent in those days. Very sad what happened only 2 years later
Seeing these videos posted, even 20 years after the fact, makes my f-ing heart break all over again.
The turn of the century has brought the world nothing but trouble. If I were religious, I'd be certain we're in our final days. I had dinner in Windows On The World, with my parents, in one of the Towers - 1989; so forgive me I can't remember which one it was. I had to wear a tie and that was something, in The Netherlands we hardly have that type of restaurants.
Wow, that is an amazing view. I would have loved to have seen the original Twin Towers. This past year on June 13, 2021 I went to the 103rd floor of Willis Tower AKA Sears Tower in Chicago. I was up 1,353 feet up and cars looked like small toy cars and people looked like small bugs from that height. When looking down I eerily was thinking is this what the people in the Twin Towers from the upper floors were seeing before they fell or jumped to their deaths on 9/11. Absolutely terrifying to think about.
On June 12, 2021 when me and my mom were arriving in Chicago it was pouring down rain and it was so scary driving because you couldn't see the other cars in front of you. It did start cleaning off as evening was setting in. We went to the Hancock Tower on the 94th floor 1,050 feet up. We did the tilt and honestly liked it better than the Willis Tower. The next day when we went to Willis Tower it was sunny and bright with no clouds in sight. It was eerie how it poured rain the day before and the following day the sun was shining bright with not a cloud in sight.
@@cubby091398 Hancock Tower has 94 floors? I didn't know that
@@nemospence2724 Hancock Tower actually has 100 floors. It is 1,127 feet to the roof. It is 1,500 feet to the spire.
I went to both places also, hard to say what I liked better, maybe the Hancock tower, but both were great, the tilt was alot of fun!
@@Mrd9960 My 72 year old mom who was scared of heights went on the tilt and I asked afterwards if it scared her. She said she loved it. It scared me.
I went to the top of the south tower in November 1998, and we videotaped it.
And you're not sharing?
Cesar di Reyes ...then share ir.. plz
2020 is the 19th anniversary of 9/11! It is still an indelible memory for most of us who became aware of this dreadful tragedy from the other side of the world...I am Australian and we woke to this horror unfolding on our news services, on our TV screens....we cried with you, for days! We still do! I am still shocked at this unspeakable act that shocked the world. I also admire the strength and courage of the first responders, they rushed to help while everyone else was trying to escape...naturally!! The 9/11 Memorial Pools are a fitting tribute to all those from many nations, who perished on that terrible day, including from Australia!! My husband and I visited NYC in 2016 and visited the Memorial, we were both very moved by it’s tranquility and serenity and the respect shown by most people!! We will always remember!!
Mum, are there any kangaroos where you live??
Professional video
so... when the beat dropin?
I so miss those iconic buildings in the greatest city on earth RIP to all the lost soals on that terrible day 😔😔😢😢😭😭
Imagine if the towers survived the attacks and they fixed everything that was destroyed in the towers
If the towers survived, there wouldn't be thousands of deaths. I guess a few people would of died.
Wow those two cute little kids posing for a very historic photo, they must feel mighty humbled and blessed today, as young adults, looking back with a profound sense of America's vulnerability.
If planes crashed a few hours later, more poeple would have died. Tourists at the top would have faced massive smoke and flames.
Trump will be back. He'd deal with these terrorists.
He tried but the deep state mafia took him out like JFK, three attempts on his life. This was a Black Flag operation.
Hope he rebuilds the towers cuz NYC is dead without them.
What a bunch of nonsense. Trump is a pacifist, and that is about the only thing I liked about him.
Its amazing that people were actually seeing through eyes and not cell phone camera.
I am glad you did not postpone your trip and be in the wrong place on a very sad day . . .
It was a lovely place.
What are those weird handlebar things in front of the windows on the observation floor?
They’re handle bars 😂
Probably just clear plastic or resin
Im so sad that..........why did the plane hit my favorite twin towers of the WORLD TRADE CENTER!?
because terrorists are monsters and animals. They want what's worse for the people.
4:41 I'm surprised they were allowed to put cell towers that close to where people would be.
Que altura Senhor....... To imaginando as pessoas que se jogaram.
I remember being up there in June 2001 with my mom for free because my grandfather worked in the south tower and he called my mom to pay a visit to him in his office which was on the 89th floor during vacation. I was born in 96' and was a real treat.
2001 was just like the late 90s until 9/11
was your grandpa in the building when it happend?
Your grandfather survives?
How could you jump don't think I could do that I wouldn't be brave enough !
it's a choice, between dying fast and without pain, or burning in flames... Ii still don't get how such disaster could happen as 9/11...
It wasn't so much jumping as being forced out. Consider the reaction your hand has when it hits a hot stove pan. Indescribable heat, indescribable pain. That's what was going on way up there, except it was TWICE as hot as a stove. So natural human reaction was to move away from the fire, regardless of it meant falling. What person, who is in a coherent state of mind, would be hanging almost fully out of a window at 1,200 feet in the air? It was an incredibly desperate situation. Such horrific circumstances. Without a doubt one of the darkest chapters in American history.
I'm sure if you asked the jumpers at 8.00am on 9/11, jump... they'd have told you no chance & to fuck off but with Heat, fire & smoke it becomes a different scenario all together. I'm shit scared of heights I'd have waited until it was no longer possible to stay in. I'd have ask someone to hold my hand or hug so I wasn't alone in my final moments
@@redolfos You will still feel pain on impact of your body with the concrete but who knows which is the faster death.
@@redolfos It was a Black Flag operation.
Kto by pomyślał że dwa lata puźniej te piekne wieze bedą leżec 😣
Me miss all The Beautyfull Twin Towers of N.Y.C ❤ RIP fo all Victims ❤
When i was little i didn't know anything about 9/11 but on the 10TH anniversary of September 11 I knew what 9/11 was I really wanted to go to the World Trade Center and I'm getting to one World Trade Center before that explodes well that's the worst that can happen
It's in those narrow windows that the people clung onto, barely breathing, suffering intense heat, until they couldn't handle it anymore...
So sad.
A lot of us growing up thought these buildings were invincible and that they would last forever….little did we know😔
how can plane at high speed past troghat steal steucture like a knife in yeley??? somthings wrong
