- This is the whole clip of my interaction with a guard at the WTC a week before the horrific attacks.
"I" was in NYC for my friend's wedding and figured why not use NYC for an improv with Dr. Moniker...I'm there anyway. "I" was getting a shot, or trying to, at the WTC, (because what's more establishing a shot than of the WTC?) but the security guard wouldn't let "me" use a tripod...a problem for "us" because "I" am also not "me" and SOMEONE/SOEMTHING has to hold the camera. She conceded: provided "I" did it quickly and got out of there, it would be cool. 15 minutes, tops. But then her supervisor come over and made me turn off the camera and leave...told me "I" had been spotted and a return would be trespass! So to get the towers in view, to establish NYC, "I" ended up walking to Broadway and St Ann. "I" wonder if that security gaurd is alive....hope she ran like hell. Actually, I hope I got her fired! She'd be safe. Anyone know her? Would like to find her. The video "I" ended up shooting is a short called, "Dr. Moniker in NYC." It was supposed to a short about his Happenstance Generator. 9 days later, it was utterly creepy.
RIP Max Friedenberg, the creator of this video. Unfortunately, in 2014 there was a terrible accident which lead to his death, leaving behind a 6-year-old daughter. I hope that he has found peace. It is tragic to think that he wanted to find the lady in this video in 2008, and possibly never got to meet her again.
R.I.P 🕯❤️
What accident?
That's so sad, he seemed like a good guy. When I first saw this video I remember trying to find out if the woman was okay. It took years to find out that she was. It was a really important video, it kind of showed what life was like on the ground, just days before the attack. Crazy it's a few days past 20 years that it was shot. RIP Max Friedenberg
Wow that’s really sad I literally just subscribed to his channel.
RIP
"They won't let me use a tri pod because the guys who tried to blow this place up used a tri pod." Well, wouldn't you be surprised whats gonna happen in 8 days.
Tmp866 Eeeeeeriiiiieeeee.....
They use a 3 legged aircraft unfortunetely
I was thinking the same thing. Mohammed Atta was already in Boston at his hotel ready to carry out his attack leading up to the events.
@@TheAviationChannel first i laughed really hard at this, but 3 seconds later "oh shit" thoughts kicked in...
And they also did not use a tripod. That woman should have researched about the previous attacks on the towers. It would have said in the building calls/building major emergency file folder or whatever it is called and it would have said under cause of explosion: Van Bomb
this footage is officially 20 years old.
Right. I got goosebumps
The footage is still fresh good quality
I remember watching people smashing into those gazibos with the glass tops when they were jumping off the building, worst sound ever
Hahaha that avatar
@@kbsessions7432 its my turtle, i ended up zooming to much on his face and ended up funny
19 years ago today this was filmed. Hard to believe. Still feels like yesterday.
I wish the WTC was still there today. It was such an icon of NYC similar to the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
@@notthatdigusted7468 you're very true
The guy who recorded this died not of 9/11 tho

That is Tasha DanielleTamik and she did make it out alive. She is alive and well today but she doesn't like to be in public or media. Shes a quiet and very smart woman currently working in New Jersey.
You're like the third person claiming to know who this woman is. So far we have Denise Conley, Shanice Thurston and now Tasha Danielle Tamik. So which one is it?
At this point I'm just waiting for somebody to say Darude - Sandstorm.

How the world can change in 8 days.....
@scottyrocks9 this particular part of America affected the world. It is the WORLD trade center. And it affected regulations everywhere with security as well.
@scottyrocks9 there may be a lot of countries but some countries have more importance to the world than others. The US has a higher impact on the world than Venezuela. it be how it is
The world hasn't changed because of that,it was a tragedy right but the world keep going in the same way, the world the day and the night keeps going
America, not the world. Lol
@@ReallyBrooklynHayes world trade center is in almost every country in the world it doesn't mean that's the most important one. We can say the Chinese world trade center is the most important, China is way more important than the USA in terms of trading.
This is a glimpse of a more innocent era. It might have been 2001, but I think this was the real Y2K. When the 90's truly ended.
Anne B. Exactly...the years 1999 and 2002 are like the furthest 3 years we’ve jumped.
Innocent era maybe for you
Crime rates were at their peak in the 80's and 90's!
OALM And innocent is just another way of saying ignorant.
I was freakin' h0ez at this time sonny !
It’s terrifying and crazy to think that where those people are standing at the base of the towers is where body’s landed from the helpless who had to jump:(
Yeah,i was thinking same..its so scary :(
2:15 ol girl giving intel to strangers filming
Today same girl be like y’all needs to git da f a outta my fayce
Ik I’m late but think about how the terrorist were planning this whole time...fucking chills...
Alastor The Radio Demon FR
...or how most of the people who died 8 days later were up in that building working when he filmed this.
Society was much more alive back then more calm... Days where so different back then. And i believe the world changed after 9/11
Yes it did. But social media really pushed it over the edge. We were already angry from 9/11/2001 thru the Bush Iraq war years which then turned into 8 years of hope and change under Obama who really did a number on things, Facebook, TH-cam, Twitter etc all came about around 2008-2012 and it's been downhill ever since.
Trump is a reaction to Obama. Obama was a reaction to Bush.
Problem is we have an in your face media that thrives on hysteria and a population that is addicted to that same social MEDIA like a drug.
None of this ends well, in my opinion.
Mindy it did. Millions were brainwashed and now millions more are paranoid and shuttled like the sheep they are
America changed not the world, America is not the world lmao
It truly did change, in a weird way the world was a lot more innocent before 9/11.
@@nathanc5789 who's Mindy?
To me, watching this video, makes this somehow incredible, but back then, it was just a normal day, with no one expecting what was to happen in 8 days.
What happened?
James Stimpson 911 dude
Why did they call 911?
liamaxtonhall Because it happened the 11th of September (the ninth month)
Thomas Jefferson Lmao
The Freedom Tower is cool, but nothing will ever replace the sister towers. I miss the Twin Towers, that was my town & the skyline I grew up looking at. I miss old New York.
Krypton where were you in the 96 blizzard?
Yeah inside job was so cool huh...you live in isr@el? Or just willfully ignorant??
Krypton One World for me is normal building nothing cool.
Twin towers were a lot much better.

What a beautiful moment. Two strangers meeting, having an open, good-natured, conversation. The serenity before the insanity that unfolded eight days later, the aftershocks of which, we still feel today.

@@sidewalkart No time for a COVID-19 joke
I CANNOT confirm that this is Tasha Tamik.
But I CAN confirm that it is NOT Denease Conley, and I can also confirm that the security guard in the video SURVIVED the September 11th attacks.
Source- I had time one night and briefed through all 550 pages of the 9/11 portraits book that I own. I did not see her face, and anyone who looked similar, I read their occupations, and none of them said they were a security guard.
Very happy to find out she didn’t perish in the attacks. Whoever she is, I hope she is well.
Edit* Sad to find out that the man behind the camera passed away in 2014. May he Rest In Peace.
Just read the link Denise was stationed in the lobby, makes sense considering her English degree, this lady is in the courtyard.
It is Tasha DanielleTamika Harvin
How did he die?
@@xx-mreba-xx4051 how he die?
Searching that name in google, I get; "tasha danielle tamik 9/11"
Maybe that's her middle name, _if_ it is that individual? I don't know, the results come out empty if I search at all.
This was a time when many R&B music fans were still mourning the loss of Aaliyah.
Daaaamn your right.
Around 2000 or 2001 I was still crying and mourning the death of Selena Quintanilla Perez. RIP Queen and Legend 😢😭💖💐👩🎤
MrSober4now And ironically, she died in a plane crash.
I think about that a lot, actually. In late August I was vivising a friend of my grandmother's who happened to have several magnets on her fridge. They were all neatly alighned near the top . For some reason there was a magnet of an airplane down by the bottom, nose pointed downward, as if it were crashing. I became fixated on it and got very nervous becuse I had a flight coming up. I couldn't even concentrate and felt very sick and left as soon as I could. My flight was scary with heavy turbulence from a storm in south florida that shook the plane violently. When we landed I felt relief because " that's all that bad feeling was".
Just a few days later Aaliyah died a horriffic death in a crash that was easily avoidable. 3 weeks later 9/11 happened. It still freaks me out to think of the image of that small magnetic plane in a nose dive, and the absolute certainty I felt while looking at it. Knowing that it was a terrible omen.
Yep
She’s like the dopest security I’ve ever seen in my life. I hope she survived 🥺
She died on 9/11 😭
@big cook like I said anything wrong about her? 🧐 I said she was dope lol, read twice before answering
Comments above confirm she's alive, but I didn't check for myself.
@@remixchannelSega She doesn't look like Denease Conely
@@remixchannelSega where did you get the info from?
Eight days later, tripods would be the least of their worries.
Until you realize planes they used has 3 legs.
She is a reasonable, good person. We need more people in this world like her. I hope nothing happened to her on the 11th.
She was nice to the guy. Wow thats something most security guards don't do today. If this was being filmed today, the guards would probably be asking a million questions and get all up in his face with a gruff tone. So sad the kind of world we live in today.
+Matthew Jay Evans 9/11 changed all that. We now live in a paranoid world.
because we actually have to worry about this happening again, had this never happened, the world could be a better place. and now we have to worry about offending everyone smh
yeah Happy 9/11 Day
Matthew Jay Evans yeah the world is a messed up place but it's not the world that's messed up it's the people who are in it that's why we should keep the good alive by remembering the heroes on that day the heroes on 9/11 didn't have
To help no one but they did

This camera for 2001 is pretty good for the time. Like having an HDR+ camera in 2019.
Scary good for 2001
I had MiniDV camcorders in 2002 & 2004. This quality was very much available in 2001. There was even better hd available in 1993 with hd vhs but it didn’t take off at the time.
@@watersandblue6001 Nah bruh. Pretty average quality I'd say. Not bad but Ive also seen better.

Not anymore. She's dead.
@@livmarlin4259 :(
Liv Marlin Some people in the comments say she survived 9/11 and is still alive.
That exact day I turned 4 years old. Back than I couldn't understand what was happening in New York. Today I'm a firefighter myself and the event of 9/11 is still unbelievable to me. I have a lot of respect for all the units who responded that day. I want to honor those fellow firefighters who gave their lives to help others by doing the same and serving my home town. We should never forget what happened that day and how the western world got attacked right in its heart.
-German firefighter, 18 years later
Firefighters are heroes.
this is so eerie. Its like walking amongst ghosts...
JaneLane187 lol you act like it said “seconds before the towers fell”. 90% of people walking around are tourist. They wasn’t there on the 11th I bet
Rimpau Blvd Baby I mean some of them could have died but I doubt every single one of those people there died in the attacks.
A lot of people working in those towers at that exact moment in this video, probably died less than 8 days later.
This was my first day of 6th grade, junior high.. So it's weird seeing this knowing at that same time I'm in my new school. I actually missed the bus on 9/11 and my mom was about to take me in until we seen the tower on fire on the news then I seen the second plane hit and my mom decided to keep me home.
The man who made this video, Max, was a friend of mine. He passed away in 2014. Your comment rings true on more than one level.
2:10 wow I know he was talking about the terrorist attack from 1993 but it's still weird considering what happened the following week...
She is genuinely nice and definitely pretty enough to be a fashion model. I hope she is alive and well.
How do you know?
I think it's her .. but I'm not sure .... Denease Conley
rcc cc I think you are right. I googled the name and it says she was a security guard who didn't make it. Terrible...
I think she survived, hoping so but the uploader commented on the cut version of this that she is not Denease Conley
Diane Stephanie Sioson the guy who shot this video passed away in 2014.. but I’m seeing all over the comments that this girl was not Denease; her last name was Perez
The last 8 days living in Peace..
Sadly :(
Growing up in Ireland during the troubles, you have to learn to remember those who have been lost but not let terrorists stop you from living your life. The human spirit is very resilient and terrorism will never win.
World was already broken in some parts before 2001!
Love this. Pure human interaction between two complete strangers with entirely different lives. Beautiful.
Nowadays this type of interaction of two strangers one male and one female wouldn't ever work. Different times
Simply not true.@@domisasXD
And 8 days later they were gone.Terrible...
Wish I can take them back man I feel you...

She kinda sounds like Alicia Keys

Leon The human mind doesn't work that way.
DaveDeRaceEend Hi I'm from UK what's there now? Where the towers where?
Whoever the security guard is, there's something really beautiful about her and there's part of me that really loves her to. I just hope that wherever she really is in the universe that she is okay. This video is so touching to think it was just days before. I've looked into all the names mentioned who the girl might be but am fairly sure she isn't any of them.
You love her? From a 2 minute clip? Creepy.

I feel like this man is a time traveler, the way he answered about why he was filming them seems kinda weird. "This is a joke to all the kids that like to start crap"
Something is definitely off about him. Why did he randomly just film this and go right to the Towers and talk about being a character and asking weird questions lol.

Labor Day 2001 . Having worked in lower Manhattan for many years this is exactly how I recall it. It is incredible what was soon to transpire. RIP to all the victims.
That was when things were still all right in the US. It's strange how one single day can change so much. It's really fascinating, in a sad and tragic kind of way .Still get goosebumps and an odd feeling to the stomach when I think back to that day.
But in this case 1 hour and a half changed everything.
It’s so haunting that nobody knew what was soon to come. That everything was about to change forever.
It was a tragedy waiting to happen.
Some people in nyc knew what was coming

@@JYMAHJAMES isn't that basically what vloggers do these days?
i was born in 2003. i wish i could’ve known a world like this. where people weren’t hostile and suspicious and hateful towards one another all the time and you could step outside without feeling like you could get shot at any moment. my grandmother tells me about how in the fifties you could be outside all day without anyone needing to surveil you for any reason and your mother would shout your name through the open door when it was time for dinner. what happened? what changed? why is everyone so tense all the time? why is security always being ramped up regardless of necessity? are things ever going to go back to “normal”?
i hope i live to see the world be like this again.
Your mother doesn't shout your name for dinner?
Everyone has descent into insanity my friend, Wars, Economic crisis, Being resentful to things that happened decades ago, It's sad but it's the reality
All of you saying “little did she know what would happen in a couple of days”
We don’t know what is gonna happen in the next 50 seconds. Literally every second is a gift
She was cool AF.....remember the days before this happened and we weren't always suspicious of everyone? We all got along for a period of time! I wish it was still like that and kids now got to enjoy those times like I did!
It's amazing how society is conditioned to think after something like this happens. Nobody's the same after that. I'm a child from the 80's and I too remember nothing was what it is today.
rose tinted glasses plenty of fucked up shit happend in the 80s people get so wrapped up on nostalgia
I was born in 1977 and could go outside and play in the 80s with neighborhood kids and not get snatched. Sure shit went down but people seemed to have a little more of a conscience back then! I was early 20s when this happened and this changed shit for me
plenty of kids can still do that now u need to stay off the internet if you think the world is really that bad its no better or worse its just every bad thing that happens these days is filmed and put straight on the the web for everyone to see
Shaun Maguire Haha not the town I live in, Tampa fl where you have cops coming door to door with the pics on a flyer of the pedos and warning you to not let your kids be by themselves.

It’s so crazy how everyone was alive that day. People that are no longer living were working in the World Trade Center that exact second and weren’t even thinking their life would end a couple of days later. The flight attendants were alive. The families and the kids were still alive. The pilots were alive. The people at the pentagon were alive. I was only three months old and had no clue about anything. Rest In Peace 💔
The days when you could leave your bag beside you on the ground without sparking a security alert. The world really did change that day.
what a nice security guard,I really hope she survived or didnt work that day..so strange seeing this..doesnt feel that long ago when it was like this..
+Kenny Dominic Generally speaking, the construction and destruction of those towers weren't long ago. On a cosmological scale of time they came and went in the blink of an eye; a unique, short-lived existence. Only on a crazy little blue planet called Earth, do its (intelligent?) inhabitants create and destroy such a brilliant site of ingenuity. Only on Earth does the most significant event of a millennium get labelled as taboo, such that nobody ever dares reflect on the historic event that changed the face of this planet and its people. Only on our planet are we confined to think within a box... those who escape the box are shunned for it.
Very sad. This woman was Denise Conley, she was filmed holding the door open for firemen entering the building on 9/11. She perished when they collapsed. Brave woman.
+The Great Red Spot its a different woman in the other footage. I'm not sure if this security guard survived.could never find info
missnycsparkles
There was nobody in WTC 7 when it went away, though she likely saw it all.
vodking No, I'm saying everyone was evacuated out of the building, and there's video evidence supporting this.
Watching this again on September 3, 2023. Can't believe it's been 22 years now. Time really goes by fast. Condolences and prayers to all the people who lost a family member, a friend, a partner on 9/11. Even though life goes on I'm sure there are many who still grieve to this day and maybe deal with Mental Health issues. I remember watching the news when I was 9 years old and seeing the Twin Towers attacked, it was on every channel. I'm from Toronto Canada so I didn't know how iconic the Original World Trade Center was to New York even when I'd see it in movies like Home Alone 2 or Jungle 2 Jungle. The new Tower, my opinion, got nothing on the Twin Towers but I understand as time goes by there will be changes. RIP to all the victims, and RIP to Max Friedenberg who made this video.
The situation of the world completely changed since then , we are in a differnt world now.
This woman is NOT Denease! She is at least 10 years younger for a start! She looks nothing like her. Lighter skinned, more refined features and an obvious lack of long dreads, which Denease had on the day of the attacks (there is a video of her on 9/11).
Someone further down has mentioned this woman's surname is Perez. That's a start. As for the comments requesting someone zoom in and view her I.D badge...well, as the person who recorded this footage passed away 2 years ago, that will now be next to impossible.
Hopefully 'Perez' is still alive and well somewhere.

Imagine the people who left the building just as the 1st plane hit the tower.
i heard somewhere that a lot of them died from falling debris
The security guard in the South Tower told people to remain in the building because he had just watched a man get decapitated by falling debris from the North Tower. He thought it was just a private plane that accidentally hit one of the towers. He didn't think it would ever be a coordinated attack. Unfortunately, it likely led to more loss of life in the South Tower. So tragic.
@@MotorCityPhoenix313 Wha????
@@stormcuber2461 the announcement made was that their tower was secure so they could go back to work, which some people did.
One French film crew actually taped the first tower being hit ( th-cam.com/video/miA8Td4oNcY/w-d-xo.html ) and they may have been among the few who knew this wasn't a small plane.
@@Jerseybytes2 They and the FDNY guys who saw it knew, they reported that it was intentional, watch that tape and listen...
its so sad that they are oblivious to what is about to happen the next week

That's always a strange thing to imagine in all of these videos that are before 9/11;
they have absolutely no knowledge at all about that day and they haven't learned about a possible event like that in any way.
Nowadays 9/11 is common knowledge and something that everyone is familiar with, but back then that day didn't exist - "September 11, 2001" was just an ordinary random day of that year to most of the world up until 8:46 AM in Manhattan.
Of course, they did know about the bombings in 1993, but that was pretty much "the worst attack on WTC ever" before 9/11.
Hindsight sight is always 20/20. You never know about tomorrow
Possum Boy You got that right. We in the comments are just lucky enough to still be alive. For all we know, today or tomorrow could be a horrific, tragic event...
Eon Hardy If you think about it, the same applies to us. We don’t know what awaits us in the coming months, weeks, days, or even hours. The future is never a certainty.
And now we've got the COVID-19 pandemic/crisis in 2020... Who would've seen *that* coming?
“I can’t use a tripod because the guys who tried to blow this thing up used a tripod” boy oh boy that’s ominous
Not true at all.
:sigh: When guards used to be cool..she was super good looking and quite the character.. .. . .
Now everyone lives in fear ;-;
Everyone was so chill and friendly back then and now I feel as if everyone is on edge
Exactly this reminds me of the videos of New York from the 1900s soon this will be just as old and people will call it history
That's because we are on edge now & It's a totally different world we now live in.
Personally I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone & I just want to wake up & go home!
However I do thank God that I was born in the 70s & that I can remember a much different world. Yeah we had our problems but it was nothing like it is now.
Yep@@TaraConti
Man I'm still trippin over how I was just there 4 days before it went down. I was on a trip there visiting from the west coast and I was supposed to leave a week before that so I decided to stay one more week. That last day, my aunt who lived in Staten Island took me around the city and took me there at night. I went to the restroom at the mcdonalds across the street and I couldn't help but marvel at how tall these buildings were from the ground up. Of course I didn't go inside but dang it was crazy to see that. 4 days later I wake up and turn on the news and next thing I know, these buildings were on fire.
On another note, I know this security officer acted kinda masculine, but there is something rather attractive about her nonetheless. I'm with the people who say I hope she didn't die in the attack. She seemed like one cool lady.
there where 8 days before it happend not 4 but if your talking from your pov nevermind
@@LolGuffy of course I was talking from my pov. ????? Smh….
@@alonzotanner1226 Masculine acting or not, as men we noticed beautiful women. We're supposed to notice it. Her voice was nice too.
That's not masculine she's just a New Yorker. Lol ;)

Tasha DanielleTamika Harvin is her name you can find her on FB, she lived.
That's not her.

That’s probably her lol
It's not her, nose and other facial features are different
It’s not her because on Facebook it says she graduated high school in 2002... I doubt she was 17 when she had this job lol
Kids on this video are very lucky to see those towers before they get demolished
Sweet a furry! :D and hi

I wish they were still standing up

You and me both buddy. Wish I could go back in time and prevent this almost daily and I didn't even lose anyone personally in this attack.
I wish they rebuilt the towers
@@ace-x6m: They wanted to, but it never got approved.
I wish the whole 9/11 thing never happened
What really creeps me out is that if you listen closely you can hear "elevator music" playing in the background....If you watch the footage of 9/11, when they show the towers before they fall, you can hear the same elevator music in the background. They had music playing in that area between the two towers where the big gold ball sculpture was. Very creepy to me. I
Wonder if the nice lady security guard
Survived the 9/11 attacks?
Janell Bauer Yes I know exactly what you’re talkn about! One video after the towers fell, you can still hear that same music. It’s dark and full of debris and paper and dust and people are walking around covered in it
Braddy's Fun Show. Very Sad I indeed,
Brady. And it's preserved on film for all
future Americans to see. 9/11 will forever be a sad day for all Americans.
Janell Bauer Yes she survived. Her name is Shanice Thurston and she now works in a doll factory.👧👧👶👦😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😲😲😱
Norman Bates Great to hear. She seems like a nice gal. So many
Great people were lost on that
dreadful day 17 years ago. Seems
like just yesterday.
you're right wow creepy
It's sad to see this video, knowing that it portrayed the last days of normal life in America. I was in my last year of high school, and had bought a ticket to NYC in August 2001 to celebrate my graduation. My plan was to visit the twin towers, along with many others landmarks. Being from NYC, the attacks hit me very hard. RIP to all the victims.
+Danny Leo Same here, Danny. I am from NJ, and I graduated in 2001 also, and I used to go up to NYC after class and just drive around, almost every week, or take PATH to visit a guy I knew who worked for the PA and died that day. It was always a fun little "adventure" during high school to just take off and go explore the city by myself. I was planning on going there that week, actually. My birthday is Sept 14, and I used to enjoy going for lunch or dinner in the city and just walking around experiencing the city. I miss the old NYC before the whole world changed...So sad.
I'm from NYC also but I was only 7 months old when it happened

Danny Leo August 2001? So you got to see them then
I love the early 2000s fashion
Me too. No skinny jeans, no leggings as pants, no ugly pastel hair and not a hipster in sight. Malls were still in their prime (as well as BlockBuster) and it was still normal to shop at major retail chains like Sears and Kmart. Amazing how so much can change in less than 20 years...
@@Galidorquest Ewww yall had low waist jeans dont even
@@Galidorquest on the other hand i dont want to see anyones ass sitting down
@@unassumingaccount395 Leggings are far more revealing, you can literally see their entire form and their fat bouncing around when they walk. Wearers of leggings are practically bottomless.
Yeah really like the security outfit vibe
The most stylish and beautiful buildings in the world. :,(
you are joking right, this thing was hideous
@@Rilex037 I love strict lines and perfect shapes it was like japanese city style. I hate trite fancy glass ones.
Not really if I’m honest
Twin towers the Best.
Александор Алексеевич михеев greatness buildings in the history of the world
I remember walking in nyc as a kid and seeing the towers up close once or twice, they were so HUGE and powerful!!
He was Vlogging before Vlogging was a thing!!
No, we had cameras waaaaayy before youtube and eberybody who had a camcorder back then did this kind of videos
A man ahead of his time.
I was there around this time. I was cabin crew on British Airways Glasgow, Boston New York with a stopover in NY. A couple of us went to WTC lower mall, and there was a beautiful male security guard on the door, and he and I made eye contact and there was a connection. A bit of flirtation for a few moments, then I left. I often, OFTEN think about that gorgeous man and what happened to him. I hope he made it
I remember accompanying my father a week before 9/11 when he had to drop off some paper work at the south tower. I was only 8 yrs old in 2001 but I remember being in the plaza by that fountain and deciding to look up (I had only seen the WTC from afar and never up close) and when I did my eyes just kept going up and up and I remember saying “Wow!” I couldn’t believe how massive those buildings were. I remember touching the steel facade and looking at all the different flags in lobby. I often think about the people I saw that day and wondering if any of them possibly Lost there lives... 😔
A normal day. Cant help but think that unbeknown to many, dark and decisive plans of terror were already being discussed and scrutinized in the shadows leading up to the fateful 11th. A day that changed the world forever. RIP to all who lost their precious lives. Never forget 🙏🏼
Thank you for your beautiful post. I was born and raised in NEW YORK CITY. My mom & older sister worked on the 95th floor of the North Tower, Tower 1, the one with the Antennae. And you capture the true spirit, heart and soul of the WTC & it's community. It's just as I remember. A Beautiful, average day, with lots of people & visitors sitting and mulling around, w/the Music from the Winter Garden playing and to quote the Legendary Eagles. "A Peaceful, Easy Feeling". Thank you, again.
That security guard was probably really suspicious about this guy eight days later.
She died

I remember talking with this security guard, when I was at the WTC in August of 2001. I hope she made it
She survived
What did you two talk about? I'm sure she was very nice to you. And what was it like visiting the Twin Towers?
She was telling me about the observation deck, And just some general info about the towers. It was
An Awsome experience.
October 15th 2001, almost a month After 9/11, One of my best friends I went to school with Was Shot to Death walking home from school, we was in the 11th grade...2001 was a Crazy ass year, and The R&B Singer Aaliyah also died that same year a Couple weeks before 9/11.....painful year🙏🏽
And ironically, Aaliyah died in a plane crash.
You're telling me. That year where I grew up in Bradford, Northern England, we had a massive racial riot in the summer. Some of the buildings that were attacked still remain derelict.
‘01 was a game changing year for me as well.
To think...this was recorded exactly 20 years ago today. Hard to believe it's been that long.
Just look at this interaction… it’s so different. I wish we could go back to these times. Seriously hope this beautiful woman is still alive.
Take me back at least 20 years. Where’s Doc Brown’s DeLorean when we need it the most?
I was 27 & but spent my early career working in WTC. I recall clearly salsa dancing on the Plaza the Friday leading into the weekend. I got a cold, went to work on Monday, but took off that Tuesday. Survivor's guilt is real. To this day I miss all of my mentors & friends.
i love how at the base of the 2 towers they have those tree like columns that just rise up to the clouds
9/3/2001-- I was just starting my sophomore year in high school and went here often, since iam from across the River in Jersey, to cut class at the mall that connected the towers. 8 days later...walking to school on a beautiful Tuesday morning I realized.....my Biology homework was not done AGAIN but little did i know It wouldn't matter in about an hour.....everything would seem insignificant for the rest of the day.
I was just starting my sophomore year too. I was on my way to school when I heard on the radio how the north tower got hit. I didn't know exactly what had happened til I got home later that day. So heartbreaking :'(
Wow so u are almost like 40 now? because I was in 4th grade and i'm already 25 lol

1) No face masks
2) No Uber/Lyft cars, just yellow taxis
3) No SMART PHONES
Just NORMAL life....
Zickermacity . And NO damn political fighting 🤬 !
Payphones and house phones
Just imagine how many of those people survived, only to start dying from the asbestos released from the towers when they collapsed.
Grabacr 1 Exactly lm looking for the count.
I remember watching that recent video of the 9/11 survivors fund thing where there was a dying firefighter, and a woman in the beginning of the video said like over 1,000 or 10,000 people eventually died from inhaling too much smoke. I couldn't believe it. That's a very serious matter, but you *never* hear about it in the media...
Incase anyone is wondering, the MUZAK song at 1:02 is The World I Know, “originally by collective soul” the cover is by the Harley Brothers.
The man who filmed this, Max, died in 2014 😔 and the mistery of this woman is still unsolved. This video is far too interesting!
RIP Max, RIP 911 victims, hard to believe 20 years have passed 💔
Sorry to hear that. How did he die?
@@nadiak2367 in some sort of accident in his Santa Fe appartment 🙁
She's still alive, the last time I heard. Many mistook her to be a victim of 9/11 when the South Tower collapsed(there was the real victim recorded on the 9/11 plaza video, opening the lobby door for the firefighters) but that's not the case. She relocated to New Jersey after 9/11 happened. Her friend confirmed that some years ago.
