Official 20 Year Time-Lapse - Rebuilding the World Trade Center
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2021
- This unique film documents two decades of the rescue, recovery and rebuilding at the World Trade Center site in New York City. It is the longest running time-lapse project in the company’s history, including never-before-seen EarthCam footage spanning 20 years.
EarthCam has been on site since 2001 when EarthCam CEO & Founder, Brian Cury, installed a webcam just days after the attacks to webcast the rescue mission to the families of the missing. As rescue became recovery and eventually rebuilding, EarthCam set to work to develop new robotic DSLR camera technology necessary to document this revered 16 acre site in the highest resolution possible.
Every few minutes for 20 years, panoramic images captured the transformation of downtown Manhattan from over 100 viewing angles, totaling 13.3 million individual photos.
“We appreciate EarthCam’s unprecedented contribution of 20 years of historic images, which have meticulously recorded the rebuilding that transformed this sacred space,” said 9/11 Memorial President and CEO Alice M. Greenwald, “This creative time-lapse both honors the legacy of those who were killed and embodies hope for the future, as we see these remarkable new structures that surround the Memorial as evidence of lower Manhattan’s resilience and renewal.”
All two decades of content, in addition to the original EarthCam camera have been donated to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
“This is an emotional milestone for EarthCam, as the history of the company has been so intertwined with this site.” said Brian Cury, CEO and Founder of EarthCam, “We’re grateful to many partners, friends, and to the extraordinary team at EarthCam whose dedication and passion supported this effort over the past 20 years, so that we may share this historic archive and honor the lives lost due to the September 11th attacks.”

I personally love the memorial. The two massive holes and the two beams of light scraping the night sky always gives me chills.
same, it was a shame for when i visited there was so much vandalism or people trying to go in it that they barricaded it and our group couldnt go closer to get a good look of the whole memorial
those light pillars showing the ghosts of the buildings are incredible. Really eerie but an amazing tribute and reminder of what was and the spirits of those who died there
@@skullzies785 Damn really that's real disrespectful for the people that died that day.
Never seen the beams. However the waterfalls of the monuments made a real impression on me.
yea the memorial is great. The only thing i dont understand is the mosque from islam right next to it, like wtf? That religion and their nut supporters are the cause of the attacks on 9/11 yet they put a mozque next to it? I remember the controversy when it was announced but i still cant believe they went ahead and did it. Truly embarrassing.
My respects to the editors of this video. They managed to form 20 years in a few frames.
Mi princesa xd
After the 1993 bombing, it was clear that one of the convicted terrorists said they would not settle down when they took down the Towers. There was a lack of more surveillance and security on the part of the government.
the people that own the camera every 24 hours: AAAA CHARGE THE CAMERA :O
A few frames? You know how long a frame is?
11400 frames.
This must be such a logistical nightmare to get done.
Truly a marvel of engineering in my opinion.
Building a skyscraper?
@@shimshifixler5767 building a skyscraper in itself that tall has so many different things that need to go right. But the you build in a highly populated area like Manhatten, its a logistical nightmare closing roads and getting all building material in to the sites.
@@aMilling Not really, it's something quite common in the world. There were no revolutionary building techniques used, just the usual skyscraper construction. It's not even the tallest one.
@@MichaelDavis-mk4me he never said it was the tallest and it doesnt need to be revolutionary for it to be a nightmare to build in building and the logisticals were a mess just as any other skyscrapers is anyone who thinks building all this is easy is dumb asf
@@Vorb Hard and a nightmare are two different things. If it's a nightmare, it's because the project hasn't been properly planned or the execution as gone to hell. A nightmare means all is going to crap. In other words, not a nightmare as people building it knew what they were doing.
Seeing the tree colors change really shows how long the process took, awesome look back 20 years.
Destroying is easy rebuilding is hard hats down of each and everyone who contributed to such achivement
Amen
@Shoenheim what about that? Everyone knows that it was an inside job
@@H.EL-Othemany fact check true

It may be horrible for certain Americans because even if more people die every day or every hour, this little event will be the most awful thing ever to them. To you.
It's not.
Americans have probably bombed more civilians elsewhere, not as quickly but still bombed, so it's probably not even, in terms of body count. I don't care about either, but maybe you will. Doubtful.
I do like the truth and that does not exist yet. "A truth" does. I'm not that invested in it, so it's not like I do weeks of research every year to find out, but certainly they exist as I've been on such social sites.

Nothing. Absolutely, nothing is the same as it was 20 years ago.
Hace 20 años muchas personas agarraban un periódico para ver las noticias, eso habla también del cambio
I’m sure some people spent most or all of their careers there.
Being in NYC at the time of these horrific events, this will always be a day embedded in my brain. I was in HS at the time and can literally see the smoke literally in Brooklyn on the top floor of my school.
All new yorkers
I‘m from Germany and this terror happened a month ago before I was born. I‘ve seen a lot of documentaries and reports about 9/11 over the years and it get‘s me Everytime so sad.

Frr
I can tell that so much emotion went into the rebuilding of this site. Sure, not every New Yorker got exactly what they wanted out of the new skyline, but it’s truly the thought that counts the most when you’re building on such hallowed ground. Americas hearts will always be with those killed on 9/11, and the vastness of the new memorial proves that. 1WTC has also gained a following of its own as the city begins to warm up to its ever-present reflection. So much heart and soul went into this rebuilding that it’s hard not to simply shrug off any criticism. Amazing work.
I can't be the only one that gets chills watching this video, especially the music. It just goes to show how as a society, even during the worse of times.... We can rebuild.

This is the first time lapse I've seen which included the rebuilding of the Orthodox St Nicholas church, which was destroyed by the fall of the North Tower, I believe. Very good work, thanks for this.
South tower actually, but yea it was a preety nice video!
Did people die inside that church as well?
@@jagharblivitoverbevisad944 Thankfully it was evacuated long before the collapse of WTC 2, but a lot of historic relics were lost when the tower came down
you got to have churches man. very usefull
I amazed how some folks tried to replace it with a mosque.
I was there in 2004, saw the hole in the ground and it was all fenced up. It was a sad day - I think I wandered around for 3 or so hours. Took lots of pictures.
Then I went back in 2012. The Freedom tower was not finished - it was 3/4 done. I saw the pools of water and it’s just incredible that those beautiful towers once stood there. Then I went back again in 2019 and went up the top of the Freedom tower ( of course!)
It’s a marvel. RIP all those poor souls who lost their lives 20 years ago. 🙏🏻
11th September, 2021
I was there around the same time, only a child, but I remember seeing the massive hole in the ground and lots of dust and dirt from the construction/cleanup site. I was visiting NYC (and various other US and Canadian cities - Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Buffalo, Toronto etc.) from England with my parents, it must have been around 2005 or 2006 I think. The head of the Statue of Liberty had been closed to the public as the threat of a similar event was still present, so I could only go as far as the feet/lower legs I think.
I also saw ground zero from inside an adjacent building a few floors up and it was such a strange place - the vast hole and emptiness contrasted to a dense downtown financial district. The sense and aurora of loss was clear to me. Even as a young child the visual atmosphere made me feel uneasy, I’ll never forget it.
I’m glad I did visit as it will probably never feel and look the same way again, it still felt raw and real to me, but now 20 years on it’s just history and a distant memory for many my age (if any memory at all). If you are young it’s easy to walk there now and not fully realise the scale of what happened...
I have a photo of me and my mother taken from inside the other building with the huge hole outside in the background. Even now it still seems massive, but to a little kid you can imagine how much bigger it must have felt.
@@alexandersalter6686 good on you Alexander! That’s a lovely story. Being there that day in 2004 was eerie. I was in my first solo trip at age 50 to the USA that year. I also went to San Fran, LA, Buffalo, Las Vegas, Denver and Niagara Falls. It was quiet at Ground Zero and all the people were walking around quietly. The sense of loss and tragedy was very apparent. I have photos as well which I must dig up and make a slide show for TH-cam.
Have a great day/night!
Took pictures, but didn't help the rescue efforts?
@@toomanyhobbies2011 Dude it was 2004, there was no rescue effort. The rubble was cleared in 2002.
Its a day that will never be forgotten, I still remember coming out of school in the U.K to find out what was going on in New York and it was truly horrible.
Its hard to believe it has been 20 years already.
When I went to New York in 2019 it was a place I had to visit to pay my respects.
RIP to all those who were lost as a result of 9/11, we will never forget you.
Can we all just appreciate the fact that this video is 20 years in the making?
I have never been to USA but I love them a Lot. Whoever I worked they became very close friends to me. I was in school when this incident happened. Now when I see these videos I cry a lot. So many people lost their lives without any reason all common people very heartbreak.
Rest in peace

R.I.P to all those who lost their lives that day, I can't imagine the impact this day had on their families. I was sat on my mothers lap as a child when it came on the TV, it covered every channel. My grandpa often went there for business meetings.

I visited New York in 2004, right before I graduated HS and joined the military. I'll never forget how loud and busy the city was until you got to ground zero, where everything became quiet and time seemed to stand still. That will stick with me for the rest of my life. Never forget!

It's truly a tragic incident which happened in 9/11 however it is quite intriguing that they relentlessly keep mentioning "we will never forget". After all it's a big historical incident we are aware that it won't be forgotten any time soon. The way they repeatedly reminding us poses a revengeful intention. It seems they are unaware that the revenge is already been accomplished.
The countless casualties of the innocent civilians of Iraq and Afghanistan and the millions displaced and got involved in a decades long war for something they never did, under the false slogan of "war on terror" as an excuse.
Well then, that's won't be forgotten either.
SW Tradez: My deepest condolences for the loss of your dad.
Rest in peace. I couldn't fathom how hard it was to lose all the people. You will never be forgotten. Ever. ❤

_"I like the new OWTC and its design, but nothing comes close to the old WTC."_ Is it because of the fact there were *two* of them? It's what I've been reading a lot. You know, building the tallest building not once, but twice all over again.

Wherever such a thing happens, the people of the city rebuild. London has suffered German bombings and terrorist attacks throughout the years and rebuilt, Sarajevo was under siege for years and sustained heavy damage and was rebuilt, Leningrad, Stalingrad, Berlin and huge numbers of cities were devastated and rebuilt. New Yorkers are as resilient as any other people, but they have taken a long time to rebuild.

We get knocked down, beat up, and pushed to our breaking point. But we always get back up, stronger then before. It’s our way of life, and it will never change
My sister went to high school across the street during 9/11, when the towers fell.

No, 9/11 was not a government conspiracy or some other crazy conspiracy theory with no evidence, it was not some poor excuse to invade “poor countries” as you would put it, it was an incredibly sad day in our history that we will never forget. You need to learn to feel for the lives that were lost that day and remember them with sadness and that these are the things that bring the world together, we fight against this terror together, and yet you can’t seem to grasp it. Grow up and learn to feel for other people.

shout out to the cameraman dedicating his life capturing this for 20 years
I was born after 9/11, I'm a 2002 kid, and I've seen and watched documentaries of what happened. I never get used to seeing the towers get hit or fall, but my God were they beautiful for their time. Whether people like or dislike the new towers, I feel that they can and will carry on the legacies of the towers before them. And, hopefully, for many years to come.
I was a kid in high school living in Morocco when the events of 9/11 unfolded. I was too young to understand the scale of the tragedy. Now I'm 38 years old and I have two kids and every year in September I watch all documentaries on TH-cam about the stories of normal people who made it out and those who couldn't and as a father I always burst in tears imagining myself in the place of one of those fathers and mothers going to a normal work day and never having the chance again to see their children. Painful really painful but I came to realize that love always prevails and life continues.

This was an incredibly amazing video. Hard to watch still to this day, and I'm probably 2,000 miles away from NYC. My husband was a 25 year volunteer firefighter. He was home on vacation when 9/11 took place. I'd gotten our son dropped off at school after an appt. where we saw the plane hit tower 2. As soon as I got home, I called him from our roof where he was working and told him that I needed him to come down right away. Normally he would have asked why but he didn't. He came down, and followed me to the living room where hell was raining down as one and then two towers came to the ground. He kept working on getting old roof off but came in often to see what was happening. We held each other and cried. Never did I think I would see something this horrific in my lifetime. I'm so scared for my grandkids and their futures.
Time lapse videos are always good but this was extra special.
If something beautiful can rise out of that tragedy, the memorial and this video are it. May eternal light shine upon the victims and may their families grow from the loss.
But it can never be the same again.
Everything that was created after 9/11 is "war against terrosim", but only against those who had oil deposits. Tens of thousands bombed from drones and planes in the name of revenge on a narrow group of perpetrators. Is it beautiful enought for you?

I was in high school in Brooklyn when this happened, a sophomore. I will never forget that day for as long as I live. Thank you so much for this beautiful video.
Trust me, I still remember what I was doing that day, where I was and such. I'm from the Netherlands, but can still recall the radio-DJ of the station I was listening to first just mentioning it as 'this bizarre accident in NYC' and continuing the program. About 10 minutes after, everything had changed.
I also vividly remember September 12, as at art and crafts we had started building a tower the week before. I still see her behind her desk, with her head slightly down. 'Okay... uhm so uhm, let's uhm... continue our tower...'
Sending endless love from the UK to all our friends in the US. We will NEVER forget 💕

To all my American brothers and sisters - I pay my greatest respect to all the direct and indirect victims of this act of terror. I have been following this terrible story for the last 20 years since I was a young child back in 2001 and every year on its anniversary I tend to go back to it. Especially, I am deeply moved by last calls registered from people to their loved ones. I always sit and wallow this day to finally realize how important it is to cherish every day.
Peace and love from Poland.
Yea true bro, I wasn’t even born back in 2001 and I was born in 2003 which I could tell how sad that was 😭😭
They really did a great job on rebuilding the World Trade Center. It’s so beautiful my mom actually got to go to the One World Trade Center on one of the first days it was open and its just so amazing how they did everything from the mall, the memorial museum, to the pools where the twin towers stood and the One World Trade Center. It took a lot of thinking to come up for what they were going to do, but the finished product is truly so beautiful.
The beams of light are honestly sick, as well as the building and it’s spire.
Never realized how long it took to rebuild from 9/11 wow. Hats off to them and to the ones that died
Hats off to them and to that died? seriously?
@@pie5233 you wrote it wrong, and second, why are you asking, its just a normal sentence
@@emiruu2919 I’m not English
@@pie5233 English also isn't my first language but i was able to understand what the op meant to say? Perhaps you didn't see the "and" and proceeded immediately to contradict their statement.
@@user-ir6mk6me7t it is you who misunderstand. I said it makes no sense to say "hats off" to people who died without a purpose, I was not correcting her sentence from a grammatical point of view
If you’ve never visited the footprints/memorial, a word of warning. It’s a very heavy, emotional experience. The weight of what happened there is overwhelming.
what do you think the 50 THOUSAND killed civilians in afghanistan think of these ugly fucking holes in the ground?
@@YourSweatyUncle they're dead so they dont think much
@@YourSweatyUncle I keep seeing comments like yours in response to people mourning what happened on 9/11. Just stop it. What the government decided to do in response to the attacks has nothing to do with the people that died that day.
@Robinson's Machines I too mourn those deaths.
But people are extremely short sighted and ignorant.
@@YourSweatyUncle The lives of those people mean as much to me as the dog shit I scraped off my boot.
This is so good. The editor is on point here
there is absolutely nothing in this world that i love more than these United States. Never forget ya'll. God bless this land.
It's been 20 years, yet it doesn't feel like it...
RIP to everyone who died that day, may their souls rest in peace...
there are the few exceptions though: the 19 executers
@@justnoted2995 Yeah the 19 terrorists who caused all this do not deserve our prayers. Because of them, many people are scared something like this might happen again. BIH to the terrorists
@@user-nj8iv5yw1d That’s what makes it scary
I remember watching this unfold in a state of disbelief and utter sadness, at the time it was kinda overwhelming but watching all the documentaries since that time the most amazing thing is not the sense of horror or the sadness, it’s the New Yorkers incredible strength and bravery shown by every single person and the lack of any anger. This day was an attempt to spread fear and anger throughout the Western World and it simply had the total opposite effect. New York stood strong and the Rest of the civilised world stood behind them. RIP to those lost on this day, you died as hero’s in the war against pure evil. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
As an American, when ever I look at the construction of the memorial, I feel immense pride in my country and the fact that I am a citizen of it. Although our politicans can do things groups don’t like, we are still a very transparent, free and great country. We can be like a phoenix in some ways. When an attack by a foreign group happens on American soil, we rebuild from the ashes. 9/11 was one of these examples, after the shock, Americans as a people wanted a war in terrorism, and the memorial construction began, we never have and never will forget those who died in 9/11, god bless America.
Man it’s insane how far we’ve come
I can't decide what color paint I want on my walls let alone build something as amazing as this. Unbelievable how humans are able to design things like this and execute.
Lite up ur circle wall.
Brighter than others hopefully.
Its called teamwork work as team to decide what colour wall you want lol😂
Same with pyramids.
I am not even American, have never been to America. But this video kinda gave me chills and I’m in tears. Its like those games where enemies attack your kingdom and destroy your hard built buildings but then the people of that kingdom comes together and rebuilds that entire thing up, no matter how long it takes. And again, the kingdom is back to its old beauty and powers 💖. RIP to the lives lost. We will never forget
What a terrible comment
@@NightBreeze7.0 terrible because they compared a terrorist attack to mobile games lmao
Mad respect to all the construction workers, the city planners, and the editors. These people all worked really hard to rebuild this place and commemorate all the people who lost their lives on that unforgettable day!
You may knock us down. We will get back up.
You may destroy. We will rebuild.
You may break our bodies. You will never break our spirit.
In memory of the victims of 9/11 - may they all Rest In Piece.
i was only 7 years old when this happened. Rest in peace to all lost on that fateful day
I was born 18 days after it. Mum told me how she was watching tv pregnant with me and the program was stopped for the news. She was shocked and didn't really function for the rest of the day. She says that she wonders how she didn't go into early labor from the stress.
@@doraspoljar697 damn I was born on march 5 2001, I was in the daycare when It happen, my dad came pick me up
@@sidemilz4001 my dad came and picked me and my sister up from school when we were 5. It’s wild thinking our parents were so panicked they rushed to get us just incase.
I was 8 ...
@@sidemilz4001 Born march 7th 2001, was 6 months old when it happened me, my mum, her friend and her 3 month old baby where on holidays at the time, even though where from Australia mum told me she was in disbelief when it happened and was glued to the TV all night
She was scared because Nanna was in a plane at the time stopping over in the USA to get to Zimbabwe
for people who lost loved ones in 9/11, getting to visit that memorial must be a great thing for them.
As I saw all the missing people and the debris my heart broke.
This is remarkable - hats off to the team for dedicating 20 YEARS to capturing this!
THANK YOU to all who made the video. I've lived in NYC since 2008 until 2020 and I often think how amazing it is that I've lived in the city in a time frame when its tallest building was being built from scratch to finish and I got to the top of it. Very special for me, my NYC
Normally, timelapses of constructions are quick. This took so many years to build.
Yes, because of the sheer amount of debris (including bodies to identify first before the rubble was cleared).
Then they would have had to 'de-contaminate' the land of harmful dust particles such as asbestos and other nasties. Then digging out all the foundations that made up the footprint of the Twin Towers, and turning them into the water memorials.
So yes, this is why it a took so long - the best part of 20 years. Probably a good thing they didn't rush things when you consider all the things that needed to be done.
Still much faster than second avenue subway
@@robtyman4281 also the museum undergound is massive. That alone took years to build
@@zelaznydesigns874 Yeah and making money out of it too. Making a buck out of tragedy. Museums should be free. Donations should be made if person wants to
@@NLS_7 all of the money made at the memorial goes to their foundation and victim aid if I'm not mistaken
I always build these in Minecraft as a memorial to the heroes we lost that day
My respects to the editors of this video. Managed to form 20 years in a few frames god bless new york.
copying other ppl comment
@@mcaskil lol
Holy crap it’s been 20 years! Still remember getting ready for school and watching this in the news. The whole county felt eerie.
As a British person, god bless America
As an American person, hail the Queen

My deepest respects to all those who served, protected , built and laid down their lives for this great nation of America. I believe that remembering your loved ones and showing them love till you are alive is one thing but making them being remembered for the many ages to come, by constructing a monument of respect and love , keeping the pain of them not with us is another.
back then in 01 i was 4 years old and was living in North Arlington NJ which is just a few miles away from NYC. Our apartment was 3 stories tall so it gave us a perfect view of the entire NYC skyline. i was in school when the first plane hit and the schools were quickly closed and we were sent home. i just sat watching the entire thing happen from my living room window. it was an awesome sight that i will never forget.
... the sky was so intensely blu... I can never forget that day... love the video ❤️
The museum is very well done and very respectful
I remember as a kid going always to EarthCam and watch the slow progress of the new WTC. Its incredible that 20 years passed
Excelente presentación del video, yo vivo en Costa Rica y me ubicó como si viviese allá!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If anyone is concerned, 4:20 is the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine. It's not a mosque.
Why would anybody be concerned it’s not like a mosque in nyc would destroy the economy
Good
Bless you NYC, you've proven to be a very resilient city. Full respect and honour.
This is one of the most visually stunning things I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing something so beautiful. 😢😢
Engineering is a marvel. Just saw this on the 20 year anniversary. Still as emotional as ever. RIP.
It’s still the greatest city in the world!
Sending much love to NYC from Québec Canada! 💕💪🗽
I can remember where I was when we got the call from a friend telling us a plane had struck the towers. My Dad turned on the TV in time for us to see the second plane hit and realize that it wasn't an accident. Seeing your video remind me of how much was lost and yet how resilient the American people are. Those two holes in the ground where the towers were hurt every time I see I see them but it's a good kind of hurt. It reminds me that this nation can and will endure any attack and will always rebuild and grow.
The red car parked at about 4:31 till almost 5:00 was a dedicated worker
You know i will never forget that day in 2001, i was in New York, trying to find my brother. Had to wade through the streets covered in blood and rubble, it was horrible.
Turns out he was in Canada.
Represents Resilience and Strength. We’ll never forget you all 💜
It has been 20 years since the 9/11 attacks. On this day, September 11 every year, it feels like that terrible day. The day that forever lives in infamy.
But in United we stand from around the world 🌎 and we will Never Forget that day and for the heroes and citizens who sacrificed to save so many people. 🇺🇸
RIP to the 2,977 people who died on 9/11💐🪦
🇺🇸🌺
Not to mention the hundreds of thousands killed by US troops over lies.
Iraq and Afghan had nothing to do with 9/11..
Try not to forget them either, eh?
@@72marshflower15 why do we greif so much about the few who died in 9/11 but not even remeber the hundreds of thousands killed from wars caused by us?

Plane killed from people 🙄
The 20 year time machine of rebuilding. Impressive. Thank you for this video.
