I lost my mother on September 11th. I feel the current double pools are a beautiful nod. Edit: I wanted to say thank you to all for all the wonderful messages. I am truly grateful. I have been to the pools many times since then. I am truly touched from all the kindness. Again many thanks
What I remember is how years after this terrorist attack they are still finding human remains in the area. On rooftops, under manholes, wedged between buildings
I can't understand why WTC has just alywas something new happening, is like it follows you once you read something about them... And also i wish i never heard of this, as i also saw the unceonsored videos of the peoples that we're falling.. It was extremly gore and mentaly tiring, i'm a sensitive person, but i watched it just to feel like those peoples know there was someone with them until their last second, cause if i was me and i had to go this way i'd wish someone would saw and understand the pain i had till the last moment, so i wouldn't go alone. So i watch them, and i tell them in my head "i feel and understand you" .
Fun fact, the north and south pools aren’t quite as big around as the original towers. The original base would extend out to the first set of trees or so on each pool, respectively
About the stairs. They didn't mean it was the only thing that survived the attack. They literally meant it was the last visible structure that was left on the site after the cleanup was finished. All the rubble was cleared away and those stairs were the last thing to go because they planned to save them for the memorial. You can Google pictures of it. The whole site is completely clean and flattened. The only thing left were these stairs.
They actually started to destroy them, and then decided to save them, which is why they look like they do. I originally thought that it was damage done from the collapse but it is actually partially demolished for lack of a better term, because of the deconstruction.
One of the things I think about a lot whenever I stumble across a video like this is that there's probably numerous human remains and debris from the planes and towers scattered over a large area beyond the site itself and they just haven't been found, or they have been found but no one realizes what they are so they're discarded. It seems like an inevitable part of this story, in such a big city, with millions of possible little nooks and crannies where objects could have ended up. When you look at the rooftops and consider no one goes up there for years at a time, that something could have slid under an air-con unit, that something could be wedged between pipes, or - as was the case of the plane part - wedged between buildings. I do think there will be discoveries in ten, fifty, even a hundred years, just random objects found in vents where they fell or in long-forgotten maintenance shafts. If nothing else those moments will give people an opportunity to remember what happened and those lost.
Right. When you go through and read about the subsequent clean up, rebuilding and repair that extended through all that area you'll come across brief notes on remains being discovered years later on building ledges, or roofs. It just speaks to the intense violence that brought those buildings down.
They're still finding bones on window ledge's balconies and roof tops or ventalation systems irrigation systems of building to this day. Mostly unrecognizable.
yeah, considering noone noticed a big piece of the plane for 10 years. people don't know if a piece of bone is from an animal or not..chunk of flesh could just be pizza or food
3:46 is absolutely chilling. Just to think someone was likely sitting looking out the window of the plane while perhaps the most pivotal event of the 21st century (so far) is about to happen and yet they have no idea. So sad.
Well, they may have had SOME idea but I'm not entirely sure. Most hijackings would have people looking to land in another country, and I don't think anyone would expect they'd be flying until a building unless you're approaching Manhattan and see that one tower already has smoke billowing from it.
Quick clarification at 6:52. The slurry wall wasn't salvaged, it survived the impact and collapse, and is in its exact place, still serving its exact purpose, of keeping out the hudson river.
There was a GM pickup that belonged to an FDNY member who responded to the scene as he was off shift. The towers collapsed and the truck along with his company's ladder were crushed. That pickup was actually able to start and despite the damage they used that to move members back and forth from ground zero. In the end Chevy/GM gave him a new truck and did a commercial about the truck and its tale.
And you would think it be laying right on top of the pile but somehow it just vaporized that might’ve had something to do with the directed energy weapons yeah you might want to look at that. They are a real thing.

I live in Calgary Canada we have a half twisted iron beam section of one the Twin Towers outside our military museum as thanks for accepting international flights on 9/11 so the WTC is an artifact in many cities across North America at least.
Part of the antenna that was on top of the world trade center is next to the city hall in Quincy, Illinois. It was originally manufactured in Quincy. It now stands as a memorial to those lives that were lost on September 11.
1000's of small and large pieces of structural beams were cut and distributed all over the USA and world to sites of 9/11 memorials. Also some of the goods in the stores in the the shopping mall were recovered. You can see one of the base Y beams from outside the museum.
One piece , I believe the only one that is outside the USA is in Gander Newfoundland. That was the city that housed 7000 stranded inbound travelers on 9/11
I can vouch that one of those pieces, a beam, was sent here to Bakersfield, California several years ago. It was set up in court yard between the fire and police department.
We have a 9/11 memorial here in Christchurch, New Zealand next to the city fire station. I think it’s a big piece of steel, not sure from which tower though.
I often think of Ecclesiastes 9:11 when I'm reminded of 9/11. "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all." You saw it played out on that day over and over. It still sends chills down my spine all these years later. Wonderful job on the 9/11 videos. Thank you for your hard work. 👍
Although I am agnostic, I've read the Bible. You're so right in this quote. No matter what we may have, or not.. what we may be, or think, or do... Fate has the final say in how we leave this mortal coil. Thank you for reminding me where I'd read this particular musing before. We all lost someone and/or something on 9/11/01. It's up to us to keep them alive through memories and words. ❤
I am compelled to information about the antenna and the 110th Floor of the north tower. That's where all the TV transmitters were, except (I'm told) for some equipment for WNBC-channel 4 which was in a corner of the building a couple floors below (107?), near the restaurant. The tower was 380 feet tall standing on top of the building. All we have left is a few feet of it. Even though it was the last thing to go down, it was remarkably destroyed. One thing I notice about the antenna coming down is what looks like the very top section of the antenna swaying back and forth, being whipped back and forth like a toy. But it's interesting to still see the "plumbing" inside the tower section (the hard-line copper coax sections and elbows that you see is referred to as plumbing). Those were brave souls who were at work that morning, and who lost their lives just doing their jobs. As a fellow broadcaster of more than 40 years, I pay the highest respect and honor to them! Rest in Peace!
it wasn't a warehouse, it was an airplane hangar at jfk airport. I don't think that the window was discolored, most skyscraper windows have uv protection.
I teach little kids in Japan I've met a few whose birthday is September 11th and have no clue what that date means to older generations. One boy once misunderstood my question and said "September 11th" is what he wants for his birthday!
I'd love to see something on the psychological effect it had on people who were young when they witnessed it but old enough to understand it and what that did to people and effects people carried into adult hood
A number of years I visited the 9/11 Memorial at NYC. First time in NYC proper. Very surreal to be at the same past where that tragic day took place. Very moving.
I am glad that I had the opportunity to see the Twin Towers for the 1st time in 2001, I left 8 days before 911 took place. A friend and I wanted to stay in NY another week but exceeded our budget for our little holiday back then, so we headed back home to CA.
I believe Jay Jonas said that Stairway B which him and 13 others survived in was still virtually intact. I would assume that is most likely the staircase you showed the picture of. Would have been cool if they preserved that staircase as well.
You're absolutely right since it was him and his crew with a lady who was on the 20th floor of the North Tower she said she couldn't make down the stairs so they decided to help her out. When the North tower collapsed they were few flights from freedom.
@@714cyjr correct. It’s kinda funny cause they are among the 20 pulled out of the rubble alive, but they practically dug themselves out lmao. Once the light shined in the stairwell they saw a way out, but they couldn’t make it all the way across the rubble without assistance
According to one documentary, ( the natgeo multi parter ) - if the lady had not stopped they most likely would not have made it past the collapse zone outside - so her inability to go on may have actually saved all their lives - FDNY honored her when she passed nine years later - very touching
The reason the staircase is so important is because as you mentioned, it’s known as the survivors staircase. The top of the staircase was at the plaza level. And the bottom was at street level and while it was covered, it was outside. So if people were able to make it out of one buildings and run across the plaza and make it to that staircase, they had a decent chance of making it out alive because they were covered from all the falling debris and were then able to walk/run away. The damage you see to the staircase actually happened during transport to the museum, it wasn’t due to the actual attacks. I would argue that the tridents weren’t really part of the external portion of the building because they were covered in concrete (I believe)
Someone did indeed fall in one of the memorial pools last month. I forgot if he had any relatives involved in the tragedy but there are some videos of him voluntarily jumping down one if the pools
I saw the news reports. The man had mental problems. In the footage I saw, he didn't really fall, he more like let himself slide down. He was rescued by port authority workers and admitted to a psychiatric hospital for observation.
Awesome that they saved the large exterior steel columns including the diagonal cuts that were made before the towers were taken down. Probably Thermite cuts made to direct the collapse downward into itself.
Hey @DepressedGinger, I live close to a memorial site in westchester that has one of the Twin Towers steal post. It's at kensico Dam. It would be cool if you covered a story on it. It's a beautiful memorial. I could also send you a short video of the area if you'd like. I love your channel. You are giving information to the younger generation in a great way. Your narration in your videos are exciting. Keep up the great work, brother. 9/11 was so scary that day. I wont forget being let out of school and watching 5 fighter jets and military helicopters flying over my neighborhood. Watching the towers on TV asking my parents what happened. I never got to visit the towers, but I did visit one world trade a couple of years ago, and it's beautiful. Take care, brother and God bless 🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸 ❤❤❤
Idk why but a random thought popped into my head while watching this. If the towers somehow hadn't fallen, the fires were put out, and they decided to repair the towers instead of demolishing them it would only be a matter of time before paranormal tv shows would go to the floors effected by the planes looking for ghosts and whatever and spew out spooky tales and legends of office ghosts.
Theres are already stories. People staying in the new freedom tower have reported waking up to the sight of hundreds of faces looking in through their window. Reports from the same tower of people seeing ghostly planes crashing through their windows, disappearing on impact. This kind of stuff only happens on the floors facing the old site.
When I went to NYC for the first time in 2016, the 9/11 tour and museum was one of the most beautiful yet somber things. It took the life out of me for the rest of the day. I was so sad. But I don’t regret it. It’s something everyone should go see if they get the chance to
I can’t believe the sphere is still there! I remember it in it’s time.I have a photo in front of it with my family. I always thought that it was destroyed or also pancaked in the rubble when the towers fell since I don’t think I’ve seen it since. I’ve lived in Manhattan for 7 years but have since moved. It’s crazy how it was always there and would be extremely familiar to me, yet I haven’t come across it again.
The surivor stairs were saved at the request of the people whose lives were saved because they were there. They were in perfect condition but they started demoing them before it was decided to save them. They are VERY important to survivors
When my house got compulsory purchased by the government to make way for a motorway , it was entirely demolished, and nothing was saved. Carpets, curtains, kitchen, bathrooms, and fitted furniture, etc. Everything was torn apart. I cried for weeks before leaving and the night before and day of demolition.
The damaged stairs at 7:40 are from the narrow outside stairwell which ran between the North Tower (WTC1) and the Marriott (WTC3) i.e. from street level on West Street up to the WTC Plaza level. You can see it's only half the stairwell which was only two people wide.
The scariest and craziest thing I remember is watching a guy jump and just tumble through the air from the 80th floor. There was no way out for some people. It was THE absolute saddest moment of my life watching
I am a Canadian, and I’ve found the twin towers rather interesting. This is a really fascinating video, it’s cool,how many things were saved. The architecture of the towers is also very fascinating, and how there were so many separate buildings in the world trade centre site. I feel sad for everyone who lost their lives that day, and others who escaped who were likely traumatized. One day I want to visit New York, I am definitely going to stop here. ❤
5:15 i believe that is 3 floors pancaked ( at least 3 visible from this angle ) the bottom one is a small rusty coloured band at the bottom just above the F0007 sign, then you have the dark band which is all of the office contents ( carpets, desks and office dividers ) then the next rusty concrete band is the floor above, and then you have a small band of darker office material, then the top rusty slab of concrete being visible on the top
...and the police officers, who were on the scene before FDNY could get there. You always hear about the Firemen, but with all due respect, there were many NYPD Officers that perished as well. Saints Preserve Them All.
I think the memorial for all those people in the twin towers is beautiful, and the museum is probably wonderful because it keeps everything alive but there is no way I would set foot anywhere near that with all those lost souls. That is probably one of the most haunted places in the world. 💔💔🙏🙏
No matter how many times I see 9/11 footage, I still find it so hard to believe it happened. I'm Canadian, maybe that could be it; being not physically there is what is making it difficult to come to terms with the reality of 9/11? Even though I know it happened, at the same time, it doesn't seem real. I feel like I would one day go to New York and see them standing there like they did all those years ago prior to 9/11.
Cause almost the entire structure of the planes got shredded to pieces on impact, commercial planes aren't flying tanks plus let's add a speed of like 500 mph, burnin jet fuel on a relative thin steel structure it would literally melt it and thousands of tons and tons of concrete, steel and rubble fallin on top of it, it's not rocket science it's just physics, I'm not an aeronautic expert but I'm not surprised there's not a lot of plane parts to recover, also literally there's a plane window in the video and if I'm not wrong they recovered parts of the landing gear of a plane in the middle of a street
Excellent video. I think the building that looked like the bottom of one of the towers would have been great. There's something eerie, about seeing that elevator motor given what I've read about what happened to/in them. And greetings from England.
That part of the plane that was wedged between the buildings is so haunting. Who was looking out of that window that morning just before the crash? What did they see? Was anyone even sitting in that window seat? Just brings a lot of haunting questions to my mind.
I’m very curious to learn about to smells of the clean up. I’ve heard different accounts of what it smelled like but I want to know a detailed deep dive going into all the things that would have produced smells and toxins during the cleanup
I was part of the initial cleanup, being part of the FDNY 57th division. I can tell you the entire region reeked of human excrement! It was amazing how many intact & well-preserved dookies we found at the scene! (Both from Tower occupants and first responders). There was also a strong odor of thermite that permeated the air for several weeks.
@@marquisgtFirstly from an Australian👮♂️ to a NYC👨🚒… Thank you for your service. You say it smelled like Thermite…. Were y’all using thermite for demo cutting? Or……🤔
I was in Manhattan on business 8 weeks later. I noticed a cherry-like smell and an acrid smell that were unlike anything I had smelled before. We can surmise what that was . . .
@@scottkozel1519 Hi! Sooooo…..for the dumb among us…..me🤦♂️. Could you please tell us what has a “cherry-like and an acrid smell”? What exactly are “we” surmising?
They may have but I would think they would have been inspected several times before being put on display because imagine how the family would feel if that were true ? Someone would be in HUGE trouble for allowing that !
It’s sad to be in my mid 40s having lived through this horrific event and know that to a kid born after 2000, they’re just some fountains…never knowing what massive structures existed there prior. In the late 1990s I was flight instructor. For my student’s first night lessons I would take them up the Hudson past the WTC. Not being able to fly higher than 800’ due to air traffic the towers would literally tower above us. Then we’d circle the Statue of Liberty. The world felt like a much simpler place back then.
One fascinating thing about the debris post-9/11 is that the tridents at the base of the building were still upright, some even with the metal cladding on the front of them.
Ive never beforw seen the picture of pancaked floors its insane to see just how powerful the crushing force behind the collapse was it also goes to show just how tiny eqch floor of concrete really were i used to think they were like traditional buildings and the floors were at least a foot or more thick but no i seen it wqs just powdered concrete placed on a sheet and bolted down to the floors beams on top of trusses damn concrete was only 4 inches tall and all of it stood on tiny foots for the floor attatcments no bigger than like 2 to 3 inches off the wall damn things were practically paper thin so that they could sway better in the high wind
When they say only original surviving structure above ground when referring to the staircase, it’s because it was still in its original location and orientation as when it was built. The tridents and other stairs although intact, weren’t in their exact location and orientation after the collapse.
From what people are saying, they are saying this because during the cleanup when everything was pretty much cleaned up, the stairs were the remaining things left that were still standing
The trees basically grow on a roof over the original World Trade Center basement within the old slurry wall. It will be hard for their roots to expand. Meanwhile, the city grows trees on the old High Line elevated freight railway. (Turn into into al elevated light rail transit line? No, never thought of that, did you?)
After the debris cleanup, some of the stairs were left still standing where they were initially and had to be demolished. You can read it as the "last part of the building left standing"
Okay so firstly. I have been watching your videos for the last few weeks and I’m hooked because of you. But I want to get your opinion on certain topics. First you can do a video discussing the hijackers and the planes and all their last Moments, if you could start there. Next I think a video discussing all the things that could’ve been changed in order to stop 9/11 completely like the jets getting sent out casters or the evacuation of Manhattan after the first plane. Lastly I think if you can do a video dedicated to all those we lost of those days, I think the view count on the video would be high seeing as there’s not many documents showing each individual for first responders that were identified and workers from the building. It will be a lot but I think a lot of the families would appreciate a memorial like that and leave you comments.
"New York CNN - 4/27/2013 A piece believed to be from one of the airliners that hit the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001, has been found behind the site of an Islamic community center near ground zero, the New York Police Department said Friday. Investigators are looking into how a part of what appears to be landing gear became wedged between 51 Park Place - the site of a controversial community center - and another building, just a few blocks from ground zero."
I was downtown about 8 months after 9/11 and when they lit both the 2 beems of light. There was still billions of pieces of paper scattered all over the city.
I lost my mother on September 11th. I feel the current double pools are a beautiful nod. Edit: I wanted to say thank you to all for all the wonderful messages. I am truly grateful. I have been to the pools many times since then. I am truly touched from all the kindness. Again many thanks

1000's of small and large pieces of structural beams were cut and distributed all over the USA and world to sites of 9/11 memorials. Also some of the goods in the stores in the the shopping mall were recovered. You can see one of the base Y beams from outside the museum.
One piece , I believe the only one that is outside the USA is in Gander Newfoundland. That was the city that housed 7000 stranded inbound travelers on 9/11
@@noodengr3three825I believe there is a piece in the imperial war museum in london too
@@lrmtube6719Gander having the only piece was true on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Yes more could have been distributed since then. Thanks
I can vouch that one of those pieces, a beam, was sent here to Bakersfield, California several years ago. It was set up in court yard between the fire and police department.
We have a 9/11 memorial here in Christchurch, New Zealand next to the city fire station. I think it’s a big piece of steel, not sure from which tower though.
I often think of Ecclesiastes 9:11 when I'm reminded of 9/11.
"I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."
You saw it played out on that day over and over. It still sends chills down my spine all these years later.
Wonderful job on the 9/11 videos. Thank you for your hard work. 👍
I often think of reality and common sense when I'm reminded of people who quite Bible verses.

What’s also interesting is comparing that motor to old videos of the twin tower elevator motor rooms.
Yes!! The video that was taken in the early 70s!!
Nope, that's not interesting!
The pancaked floors are eerie. There could be people in there.
that makes it even more chilling but I doubt it
I am compelled to information about the antenna and the 110th Floor of the north tower. That's where all the TV transmitters were, except (I'm told) for some equipment for WNBC-channel 4 which was in a corner of the building a couple floors below (107?), near the restaurant. The tower was 380 feet tall standing on top of the building. All we have left is a few feet of it. Even though it was the last thing to go down, it was remarkably destroyed. One thing I notice about the antenna coming down is what looks like the very top section of the antenna swaying back and forth, being whipped back and forth like a toy. But it's interesting to still see the "plumbing" inside the tower section (the hard-line copper coax sections and elbows that you see is referred to as plumbing). Those were brave souls who were at work that morning, and who lost their lives just doing their jobs. As a fellow broadcaster of more than 40 years, I pay the highest respect and honor to them! Rest in Peace!
it wasn't a warehouse, it was an airplane hangar at jfk airport. I don't think that the window was discolored, most skyscraper windows have uv protection.
The fact that you deliberately made the video 9 minutes and 11 seconds, warms my heart.
It's 9:10 lol
I’d love a video describing the effect this event has had on generations who didn’t grow up with it
Or were too young to remember it
I teach little kids in Japan I've met a few whose birthday is September 11th and have no clue what that date means to older generations. One boy once misunderstood my question and said "September 11th" is what he wants for his birthday!
Similar effects as the attack by imperial japan on Pearl Harbor but without Americans wanting to serve and defend their country.
No one that young matters.
I'd love to see something on the psychological effect it had on people who were young when they witnessed it but old enough to understand it and what that did to people and effects people carried into adult hood
A number of years I visited the 9/11 Memorial at NYC. First time in NYC proper. Very surreal to be at the same past where that tragic day took place. Very moving.
I touched a piece of those buildings in 2016. Felt surreal
When I went to The museum the tour guide told us they believed the survivor stairs were actually from the WTC mall. Either way still amazing to see it
They were a staircase that led to the plaza area from street level
I am glad that I had the opportunity to see the Twin Towers for the 1st time in 2001, I left 8 days before 911 took place. A friend and I wanted to stay in NY another week but exceeded our budget for our little holiday back then, so we headed back home to CA.
I believe Jay Jonas said that Stairway B which him and 13 others survived in was still virtually intact. I would assume that is most likely the staircase you showed the picture of. Would have been cool if they preserved that staircase as well.
You're absolutely right since it was him and his crew with a lady who was on the 20th floor of the North Tower she said she couldn't make down the stairs so they decided to help her out. When the North tower collapsed they were few flights from freedom.
@@714cyjr correct. It’s kinda funny cause they are among the 20 pulled out of the rubble alive, but they practically dug themselves out lmao. Once the light shined in the stairwell they saw a way out, but they couldn’t make it all the way across the rubble without assistance
According to one documentary, ( the natgeo multi parter ) - if the lady had not stopped they most likely would not have made it past the collapse zone outside - so her inability to go on may have actually saved all their lives - FDNY honored her when she passed nine years later - very touching
The time stamp is no longer a conspiracy.
The reason the staircase is so important is because as you mentioned, it’s known as the survivors staircase. The top of the staircase was at the plaza level. And the bottom was at street level and while it was covered, it was outside. So if people were able to make it out of one buildings and run across the plaza and make it to that staircase, they had a decent chance of making it out alive because they were covered from all the falling debris and were then able to walk/run away. The damage you see to the staircase actually happened during transport to the museum, it wasn’t due to the actual attacks.
I would argue that the tridents weren’t really part of the external portion of the building because they were covered in concrete (I believe)
Someone did indeed fall in one of the memorial pools last month. I forgot if he had any relatives involved in the tragedy but there are some videos of him voluntarily jumping down one if the pools
I saw the news reports. The man had mental problems. In the footage I saw, he didn't really fall, he more like let himself slide down. He was rescued by port authority workers and admitted to a psychiatric hospital for observation.
Awesome that they saved the large exterior steel columns including the diagonal cuts that were made before the towers were taken down. Probably Thermite cuts made to direct the collapse downward into itself.
Hey @DepressedGinger, I live close to a memorial site in westchester that has one of the Twin Towers steal post. It's at kensico Dam. It would be cool if you covered a story on it. It's a beautiful memorial. I could also send you a short video of the area if you'd like. I love your channel. You are giving information to the younger generation in a great way. Your narration in your videos are exciting. Keep up the great work, brother. 9/11 was so scary that day. I wont forget being let out of school and watching 5 fighter jets and military helicopters flying over my neighborhood. Watching the towers on TV asking my parents what happened. I never got to visit the towers, but I did visit one world trade a couple of years ago, and it's beautiful. Take care, brother and God bless 🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸 ❤❤❤
You seem like a very sweet soul 😭❤️ Bless you
@Luna-ii4mx I do my best. Unfortunately, I live in New York. A state that a lot of people are self-centered. But it's okay. I keep a positive outlook.
What they mean about that staircase is after everything else was removed from the site, the staircase was still there because they left it there.
GOOD JOB.....this stuff is REAL interesting could watch it all day well done!!!
so he deliberately ends it at 9 minutes and 11 seconds? Impressive and cool!
he's 1 second short
@@try2smile4me22according to try video itself, it’s listed as 9 minutes and 11 seconds
Idk why but a random thought popped into my head while watching this. If the towers somehow hadn't fallen, the fires were put out, and they decided to repair the towers instead of demolishing them it would only be a matter of time before paranormal tv shows would go to the floors effected by the planes looking for ghosts and whatever and spew out spooky tales and legends of office ghosts.
im suprised they havent been to the site as it is tbh
Theres are already stories. People staying in the new freedom tower have reported waking up to the sight of hundreds of faces looking in through their window. Reports from the same tower of people seeing ghostly planes crashing through their windows, disappearing on impact. This kind of stuff only happens on the floors facing the old site.
@@djdrunkenmonkey2 I think everybody knows anything like that would be inappropriate.
@@swashington942 yes i agree, but it will happen in time im afraid
Umm, you're just crazy. 😂
5:38 was in battery park, so I think that’s how it survived. It was just far enough away to only get that bit of damage on the top. Pretty remarkable.
I believe it was moved there. It was actually between the towers on 9/11
@@philipmorrow2437 yeah thats also what i heard years ago, that the sphere was found under the rubble between the towers
When I went to NYC for the first time in 2016, the 9/11 tour and museum was one of the most beautiful yet somber things. It took the life out of me for the rest of the day. I was so sad. But I don’t regret it. It’s something everyone should go see if they get the chance to
I too went in 2016 with my best friend. The first thing we did was the memorial just after the 15 anniversary. Very moving and sobering
I love your videos. I remember that day like it was yesterday.
I can’t believe the sphere is still there! I remember it in it’s time.I have a photo in front of it with my family. I always thought that it was destroyed or also pancaked in the rubble when the towers fell since I don’t think I’ve seen it since. I’ve lived in Manhattan for 7 years but have since moved. It’s crazy how it was always there and would be extremely familiar to me, yet I haven’t come across it again.
thought i wasnt the only one who really get obsessed with 911 every year lol
Nope you're not alone
Love the detail, finishing your content at 09:11. Keep up the great work brother 💛💙
The surivor stairs were saved at the request of the people whose lives were saved because they were there. They were in perfect condition but they started demoing them before it was decided to save them. They are VERY important to survivors
Bro knows what he’s doing when it comes to the length of the video 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
When my house got compulsory purchased by the government to make way for a motorway , it was entirely demolished, and nothing was saved. Carpets, curtains, kitchen, bathrooms, and fitted furniture, etc. Everything was torn apart. I cried for weeks before leaving and the night before and day of demolition.
The damaged stairs at 7:40 are from the narrow outside stairwell which ran between the North Tower (WTC1) and the Marriott (WTC3) i.e. from street level on West Street up to the WTC Plaza level. You can see it's only half the stairwell which was only two people wide.
The scariest and craziest thing I remember is watching a guy jump and just tumble through the air from the 80th floor. There was no way out for some people. It was THE absolute saddest moment of my life watching
The memorial is so beautiful
this is a great series, thanks DG!
I am a Canadian, and I’ve found the twin towers rather interesting. This is a really fascinating video, it’s cool,how many things were saved. The architecture of the towers is also very fascinating, and how there were so many separate buildings in the world trade centre site.
I feel sad for everyone who lost their lives that day, and others who escaped who were likely traumatized. One day I want to visit New York, I am definitely going to stop here. ❤
We just stood in line.
Donate plasma.
It's New York.
Thats what we do.
5:15 i believe that is 3 floors pancaked ( at least 3 visible from this angle ) the bottom one is a small rusty coloured band at the bottom just above the F0007 sign, then you have the dark band which is all of the office contents ( carpets, desks and office dividers ) then the next rusty concrete band is the floor above, and then you have a small band of darker office material, then the top rusty slab of concrete being visible on the top
Can you do an episode on the firefighters who lost their lives? Which departments lost the most men. Maybe how they honor those men today
...and the police officers, who were on the scene before FDNY could get there. You always hear about the Firemen, but with all due respect, there were many NYPD Officers that perished as well. Saints Preserve Them All.
I think the memorial for all those people in the twin towers is beautiful, and the museum is probably wonderful because it keeps everything alive but there is no way I would set foot anywhere near that with all those lost souls. That is probably one of the most haunted places in the world. 💔💔🙏🙏
No matter how many times I see 9/11 footage, I still find it so hard to believe it happened. I'm Canadian, maybe that could be it; being not physically there is what is making it difficult to come to terms with the reality of 9/11?
Even though I know it happened, at the same time, it doesn't seem real. I feel like I would one day go to New York and see them standing there like they did all those years ago prior to 9/11.
I’m American & still can’t wrap my mind around it
One of the north towers antennas are in a small town in Gibsonburg, Ohio. Random place.
It's crazy looking at that firetruck and seeing all the dirt and dust from that very day still on the thing. Just that one day.
It’s quite odd how the Pentagon recovered no plane parts.
That's because missiles don't include plane parts!
Cause almost the entire structure of the planes got shredded to pieces on impact, commercial planes aren't flying tanks plus let's add a speed of like 500 mph, burnin jet fuel on a relative thin steel structure it would literally melt it and thousands of tons and tons of concrete, steel and rubble fallin on top of it, it's not rocket science it's just physics, I'm not an aeronautic expert but I'm not surprised there's not a lot of plane parts to recover, also literally there's a plane window in the video and if I'm not wrong they recovered parts of the landing gear of a plane in the middle of a street
Excellent video. I think the building that looked like the bottom of one of the towers would have been great. There's something eerie, about seeing that elevator motor given what I've read about what happened to/in them. And greetings from England.
That part of the plane that was wedged between the buildings is so haunting. Who was looking out of that window that morning just before the crash? What did they see? Was anyone even sitting in that window seat? Just brings a lot of haunting questions to my mind.
The fact that no one noticed it for about 13 years is wild guess no one ever looks over there.
They actually found the hull of a boat that was buried underneath the base of the towers, crazy stuff.
They kept finding human remains on the roofs of adjoining buildings for 10 years after the attacks.
One of the tridents is on display in my hometown of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, at the foundry where it was made at the Lukens Steel Mill.
I’m very curious to learn about to smells of the clean up. I’ve heard different accounts of what it smelled like but I want to know a detailed deep dive going into all the things that would have produced smells and toxins during the cleanup
I was part of the initial cleanup, being part of the FDNY 57th division. I can tell you the entire region reeked of human excrement! It was amazing how many intact & well-preserved dookies we found at the scene! (Both from Tower occupants and first responders). There was also a strong odor of thermite that permeated the air for several weeks.
@@marquisgtFirstly from an Australian👮♂️ to a NYC👨🚒… Thank you for your service.
You say it smelled like Thermite…. Were y’all using thermite for demo cutting? Or……🤔
@@Fiveinaline Thermite is what was planted at the base of the towers, it's well documented & researched at this point!
I was in Manhattan on business 8 weeks later.
I noticed a cherry-like smell and an acrid smell that were unlike anything I had smelled before.
We can surmise what that was . . .
@@scottkozel1519 Hi! Sooooo…..for the dumb among us…..me🤦♂️. Could you please tell us what has a “cherry-like and an acrid smell”?
What exactly are “we” surmising?
The pancaked floors at 5:23, do they have pieces of bodies in them? 😢
They may have but I would think they would have been inspected several times before being put on display because imagine how the family would feel if that were true ? Someone would be in HUGE trouble for allowing that !
You're my favorite youtuber, came during your Titan videos stayed for the sports stuff then you did Titanic videos and yay to these now
It’s sad to be in my mid 40s having lived through this horrific event and know that to a kid born after 2000, they’re just some fountains…never knowing what massive structures existed there prior. In the late 1990s I was flight instructor. For my student’s first night lessons I would take them up the Hudson past the WTC. Not being able to fly higher than 800’ due to air traffic the towers would literally tower above us. Then we’d circle the Statue of Liberty. The world felt like a much simpler place back then.
One fascinating thing about the debris post-9/11 is that the tridents at the base of the building were still upright, some even with the metal cladding on the front of them.
Ive never beforw seen the picture of pancaked floors its insane to see just how powerful the crushing force behind the collapse was it also goes to show just how tiny eqch floor of concrete really were i used to think they were like traditional buildings and the floors were at least a foot or more thick but no i seen it wqs just powdered concrete placed on a sheet and bolted down to the floors beams on top of trusses damn concrete was only 4 inches tall and all of it stood on tiny foots for the floor attatcments no bigger than like 2 to 3 inches off the wall damn things were practically paper thin so that they could sway better in the high wind
The main thing is Osama was finally punished
Was he? Ever see his body?
When they say only original surviving structure above ground when referring to the staircase, it’s because it was still in its original location and orientation as when it was built. The tridents and other stairs although intact, weren’t in their exact location and orientation after the collapse.
From what people are saying, they are saying this because during the cleanup when everything was pretty much cleaned up, the stairs were the remaining things left that were still standing
@@thedogwoods5716 Yes, this.
The trees basically grow on a roof over the original World Trade Center basement within the old slurry wall. It will be hard for their roots to expand. Meanwhile, the city grows trees on the old High Line elevated freight railway. (Turn into into al elevated light rail transit line? No, never thought of that, did you?)
Wow, you seem to know a lot about boring trees no one cares about! 👍🙄🥱😂
is the original slurry wall still in place?
They were still finding small body fragments 1 year after, stuck between the crevices of surrounding buildings.
Like fingers and toes?
dude the length of the video is perfect
Glad the pentagon has something. It mostly gets forgotten about in relation to the towers.
Wow these artifacts are cool
What they mean with the stairs is probably the highest structure that survived in its original position.
After the debris cleanup, some of the stairs were left still standing where they were initially and had to be demolished. You can read it as the "last part of the building left standing"
The NY State Museum in Albany also has a display with various items including a fire truck
A lady by the name of Lauren got hit by the landing gear of the second plane..
She survived
Okay so firstly. I have been watching your videos for the last few weeks and I’m hooked because of you. But I want to get your opinion on certain topics. First you can do a video discussing the hijackers and the planes and all their last Moments, if you could start there. Next I think a video discussing all the things that could’ve been changed in order to stop 9/11 completely like the jets getting sent out casters or the evacuation of Manhattan after the first plane.
Lastly I think if you can do a video dedicated to all those we lost of those days, I think the view count on the video would be high seeing as there’s not many documents showing each individual for first responders that were identified and workers from the building. It will be a lot but I think a lot of the families would appreciate a memorial like that and leave you comments.
Makes sense the Sphere survived. Considering the two survivors were found just 20 feet away from them

A piece believed to be from one of the airliners that hit the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001, has been found behind the site of an Islamic community center near ground zero, the New York Police Department said Friday.
Investigators are looking into how a part of what appears to be landing gear became wedged between 51 Park Place - the site of a controversial community center - and another building, just a few blocks from ground zero."
Interesting.
I was serving in the Marines when 9/11 happened and deployed after.
I'll never forget.

I was downtown about 8 months after 9/11 and when they lit both the 2 beems of light. There was still billions of pieces of paper scattered all over the city.
110 stories of concrete and steel 'fell' on those parts.
Have you been to the Memorial in person?
I love how all his 9/11 videos end at 9 minutes and 11 seconds. You should really make a video about the jumpers and maybe 9/11 lost media!

Yea it was the plane motor. They said they considered the area between the buildings was a murder scene.
