@@Jennifer-cx4wq depends on how old there were. they look like they were around 70 and like their health was starting to diminish some. by 2020, I doubt it.
This is so wonderful to watch this man who was ahead of his time. If only Nelson new how much people are enjoying his videos. He did everyone a great service to capture them forever even though he probably got no appreciation for it back then. I wish you werw here Nelson. Such style and grace. The narcissistic so called influences of today could sure learn a thing or two from you wherever you may be
ALONG WITH THE 90S, BECAUSE 9/11 WAS THE END OF THE 90S, AND THE REAL START OF THE 20TH CENTURY. THE WORLD WAS CHANGING, SOCIETY FOR EXAMPLE, AND LIFE THEN WAS SO MUCH SIMPLER, AND FUNNER, WITH SO MUCH BETTER TO PICK FROM AND ENJOY FROM A RANGE OF THINGS LIKE TV, MUSIC, ETC.
This dude was so ahead of his time with these vids. He captured so much of the culture that was New York in the late 80's. This particular one is a real gem considering what took place on 9-11.
Looking through the WTC windows in the video, I couldn't help but think that's what the 911 people were seeing as they looked down, waiting for help :/
@ approx 6:20 in this clip, as he rotates with cam, you can start hearing the camera picking up noise/RF interference from the powerful rooftop antenna ,this entire video is amazing..
So trippy. 1986 was the same year I visited the WTC's, on our 6th grade class field trip to NYC. Went to the top floor observation level, then on to the roof. And it looked the same, with that smoggy, almost greenish tinged sky. Didn't have a nifty video camera back then though, just my simple camera to take pics, so it's neat to see an actual video of the same thing I experienced in the same year, no less.
@@sg-yq8pm These trolls come to beautiful, heartwarming videos just to leave rude comments to piss people off, just because they are bored with their lives. His mother lived a long, wonderful life. To be 97 and to have had these moments with her son she could always watch is a blessing. It is a shame what happened to Nelson, but she must have been proud of him.
I worked at 2 WTC from '75-'85 and was also witness to it's collapse 16 yrs hence. This great video captures a bygone era and stirs fond memories of things past...Nelson Sullivan was ahead of his time as a video blogger.. Love and peace to all.
I'm working my way through all of Nelson's videos and this is my favorite yet. You just can't see this anywhere else. Thank you so much, Nelson. You were so far ahead of your time, and gone far too soon!
I know exactly what you mean, this was filmed a year or so before I was born but somehow I miss it! I miss a time I was barely even born in, somehow it just feels better than today and as many others have commented on these videos you can see no one is on a mobile phone or busy texting, everyone was talking to each other. It was a simpler time! I happened to just stumble upon these videos last week as they popped up in my recommended and now I can't stop watching! It should be a series on Netflix "Snapshots: NYC in the 80's".
For me, it's not even a matter of 'better' or 'worse', but just more comfortable and familiar. It makes me feel like 'ah, I'm finally home and back to normal'.
I remember when the World Trade Center was built & everyone complained how "ugly" the 2 rectangular buildings were. My cousin worked inside the top of one of them & said they swayed so much, things on your desktop would shift around during your time away at lunch...pencils & pens always fell to the floor from all the swaying. After 2001, I looked at the "new" NY skyline without the Twin Towers & was shocked at how my mind remembered the mid 1960's skyline without them. SO odd that the skyline looked like the mid 1960's all over again. Nelson, his Mom & Aunt, and even the Twin Towers are now gone. And, sadly, my (1986) 32 year marriage just ended this year, per husband abandoning our family for his aged 70 year old secretary. I will never understand Men who behave like that, as if turning 60 is so traumatic you lose your mind & run away from your happy home. For me, like Nelson, seems everything about 1986 is now gone...like everything has an expiration date looming & expires when you least expect it.
I'm so sorry your going through this....... I have gone through it too. You can use this time to find out what you like and screw him lol best of luck to you...........
I’m sorry to hear you’re going through a difficult time. Perhaps think that happy moments can be found when you least expect them, like in Nelson’s videos.
I visited the WTC twice in '89--once during the day and once at night. The view from the rooftop was breathtaking, particularly at night. I wasn't thrilled with those recessed window seats--they were truly vertigo inducing. It's painful for me to look at videos like these; remembering a wonderful place & time that can never be recaptured and the subsequent tragedy :(
Just wanted to pause the video and say I was born in 1984. Wow this footage is amazing. Sometimes we don't know why we record things but we need to for the future. Thank you Nelson Sullivan.
I was either 2 or 3 depending on what month this was filmed! I always wished there was some video footage of me as a baby. This is captivating! His mother and aunt had so much pizazz and class and I can see where nelson got his confidence and class from! It ran in the family. This is also pleasant to watch. Rest in peace to them all. ❤💐
6:33 I do believe Nelson's camera starts to get interference from the (possibly) transmitting antenna in the other nearby tower. Super interesting and I wonder if that had a negative effect on people's health.
This is really interesting. The shots feel really symbolic (although I know Nelson would've never imagined what would happen about 15 years later), the helicopter, the shot of his mother looking out into the distance, the fountain being the focal point at the end. I was born a year after the attack so I'll never know how the original buildings were but this just gives me a sense of how wonderful the views were
Their accents are fascinating. Most people in the various parts of the South have lost their accents. This is very fascinating as it shows real people.
This is time traveling! Every vlog Nelson captured is time travel. But this one hit me! I can see where Nelson learned his grace and poise. Let us all learn 💚
This is a very timeless video now that the Trade centers are gone Nelsons mother seem likke a very sweet person to be around this is where he got his social skills and good manners you can tell by just watching and listening to her she was a very quiet and respectful woman and she had class also He came from a Beautiful family!
Born in The Bronx.... November of 1981. Had the great honor of visiting The Twin Towers twice in my lifetime. First time was my 10th birthday in November of 1991. The second, and sadly last time, was August of 2001. Never took any photos, just have my memories.❤
The World Trade Center as it was, and New York - wow. Love the kids getting in there toward the end! I'm so grateful to Nelson for filming and documenting so much! It's really transporting.
Bobby8451 those people made the right choice. Burning to death is one of the most excruciating ways to die. The lucky ones died from smoke inhalation that day. Either fate is a horrible prospect
The engineering behind the construction of the World Trade Center was such a phenomenal work of art. Just incredible! Unbelievable how high above the city they were.
What a hauntingly beautiful video. I have just discovered nelson Sullivan on here and his videos. The every day life and things that he caught on camera of New York City in the 80s is such a treasure and such a piece of history! It is so sad to think that this is all gone but it is so awesome to see especially for the younger generations who will never get to look at the towers in person. All these videos are absolutely priceless and I am so happy to watch them all!
I miss the Towers so much. I love tbat Nelson captured it in his films. He could have chosen not to film it thinking it was too touristy, but good ol Nellie could never shy away from anything with his camera. If he was there it was getting filmed!
Nelson Your videos are the rarest, the truest and most telling “without words” documentaries of NYC and drag and clubbing and youth of 80’ . Thank You ♥️ RIP
Back to that time when it was much more pleasant to make those visits. I have been to NY last year and I went to the Empire State Building and Rockfeller Centre.. Security checks everywhere as in the airports...very sad to see what the world became now. I think this video is a precious document also for showing this.
As someone who currently lives in todays NYC i have to say the subway stations look awfully similar, there are still trains like that old E train, most of the E trains now are all new subways but the D B G C and A trains look EXACTLY like the ones they rode in 1986, i suspected this and its a travesty, nearly 3 dollars a ride now the MTA needs to get it together. Awesome video tho lol very thankful for all these nelson videos!
I decided to come here today to watch Nelson's video about the World Trade Center capturing the building during better times. Nelson's videos are great time capsules.
I would love to hear the entire recipe that uses a “whole box of black pepper!” My goodness ❤ I love Nelson so much for capturing life the way he did. And where is that little boy today who jumped in front to say hello??
I know I'm late to see this but I just found this channel and I love Nelson! I must say that this video is very chilling to watch if only Nelson was still here to witness all his history he helped capture over the years. RIP sweetheart.

Anyone else think Nelson would've gotten the most poignant footage of September 11? The man was a truly gifted documentarian and lover of all people.
Check the Naudet brother's footage. It's very similar.
