- On 9/11, part of the Cortlandt Street 1/9 subway station was destroyed when the towers fell. Remarkably, one of its entrances survived. This is a rare look at the remains of the station, fare control and platforms a few years post-9/11.

The irony is that the new South Ferry platform would later have its own disaster, the flooding from Tropical Storm Sandy.
Indeed. I think I have some footage of the aftermath. Maybe subject of a future video.
The “GoPro” footage is SO COOL- extremely liminal and dystopian. And the white noise makes it even better, what a media gem 👾
This is so cool. And also incredibly sad. Was downtown on the PATH the night of 9/10 and remember the WTC stop vividly. I'd passed by it many times by that point in life, but it's now stuck in my memory because of the events of the following morning. Very eerie to see the "names in 9/11 dust" too.
Rumor was that there was a whiteboard in the token booth that says 'Good morning, today is 9/11/01" - though I've never seen it. if it existed, someone swiped it before we went.
What a crazy day. Rip to the people that died. 😢
Thank you so much for not showing pictures of the towers planes, stuff on the surface. This is very interesting and not too triggering.
6:35 I think what you heard was a (5) train going through the South Ferry Loop to terminate at Bowling Green. But seeing that the (5) doesn’t run there at late nights, it was most likely a (4).
I was a hospitality exchange tour guide in NYC for years. Through the Canal & Chambers street terminus' of the 1 train. Then they re-connected the line, but plywood walls where the station once stood at Cortland. You could see the huge pit between the gaps of the boards. It was so strange how many different configurations the area went through before service was eventually restored and the new South Ferry station got flooded & repaired. I have hundreds of photos of these years of recovery and rebuilding.
If you go to the entrance area to the E train at the World Trade Center subway station, the original doors used to enter the original WTC concourse are still there. In memory of 9/11, they kept all the signage and other fixtures the same. That entrance is like a time capsule.
Great stuff Joe. Glad you documented the past as well as you have.
Remember the 1-9 station well. Brought back memories. I graduated HS in the area in 1999.
Something to be said about the craftsmanship of those subway tunnels, and passages.
Kind of sad knowing the old graffiti is gone but wild getting to see it. I watched a lot of movies like Wild Style and Beat Street growing up along with films like The Warriors, and always found the idea of graffiti to be an awesome one. Just knowing that decades later people could still see something you created (even if it's just a tag) has to be pretty cool. Thanks for documenting some of the lesser-known aftereffects of that tragedy.
A fantastic and interesting discovery that I randomly found.
Cortland Street was my station for a while when I worked for EF Hutton in Battery Park, took it to/from WTC to get to the PATH to Newark.
A decade ago they already fixed up ⬆️ Cortlandt St on the #1 train 🚊 line
As I worked one block from the WTC, this was my station. On 9/11 I was already at work when the attack happened. I remember seeing this station after. This was to me a terrible reminder of that day. But I do realize this is part of history and needs to be seen.
You mean the government operation to take your rights away
This was very fascinating. Thank you for sharing this 👍👍
How were you able to get into the system and film this , from what I remember the entire area was sealed off by police and military and going down into the subway system was very dangerous at that time
He said those footage are from around 2005
There was a nine line?
yup
It was a skip-stop service pattern on the 7th Avenue line in the 80s and 90s, active in rush hours only.
1988-2005. Wiki has allllll the details: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_(New_York_City_Subway_service)#:~:text=The%209%20train%20was%20discontinued,replacing%20the%20original%20loop%20station.
Hey man, thank you
the gopro footage is VERY artsy. liminal.
There's a video of people standing next to a train station that was near the South Tower and when the South Tower collapsed, you could hear these creepy moans, squeeks, and groans coming out of the subway.
Woah. Any idea where/how I can find this video?
@@fuzzydunlop7928 Any idea where/how you can find your own soul and heart?
Is that legit?
Entertaining topic and different perspectives of September the 11th damage not seen. Underneath the subway systems.
5:36 I think that’s a swear word in Spanish, not a person’s name.
it is…it means male prostitute but you can guess what the not so nice meaning of prostitute is
I remember seeing a picture of a subway station with blood on the floor. Was this Courtland Street?
Definitely some evidence in that mess.
Did I see a reflection of a Payphone? 😮
And what happened to this abandoned station this days? Is it still there?
reopened September 2018 after 17 years of legal wrangling and politics

Yeah, fuck that Gopro piece of junk!
The batteries were bad and the UX worse. Great concept and tech advancement for the time tho.
I have a Cortlandt St World Trade Center pillar sign
I have better photos than what you have.I have actual photos being down there the day it happened
How old are you? 9? Grow up.
sure you do…sure you do
did it smell like thermite? may all beings be free of suffering...
Not really,. Just all the usual subway smells, minus the pee. (No one down there to pee on anything)
@@ltvsquad sad
Why would he smell thermite?
Cortland St on the 1,2,3 line ?? or BMT R via tunnel line ?
1/9 IRT - mentioned that in the vid. Cortlandt BMT was closed for a much shorter time, then closed again for a few months when the transit center was built.
