I was a iron worker on both of those towers for 4 years. It was unfathomable how easily and quickly they came down after all of the time we worked on them. On windy days they would sway back and forth, nothing like it being up that high to experience that feeling.
dang, how old are you? They were built in the early 70s. I could only imagine being up that high working in a building. Tallest building I did work on was 3 floors.
I’m sliding to the freedom tower next weekend and going to the 102nd floor. I wish I was able to experience the original WTC. I was only 6. Didn’t move to nyc till 10 years later
@Joseph Hinton super nano thermite was used. That's why the fires at the site lasted for months. Go on and look that up. No regular fire lasts for months. This was done by a Middle Eastern group alright, but it was not the Muslims. No planes were used. "WHAT????" No planes were used. Go on and rewatch all of the "impacts" and notice how the gray United Airlines planes are completely black, computer black. Also, while rewatching the "impacts," watch them at the slowest speed possible. CGI was at it's infancy those days.
@Wayne96819 You're not sorry. The steel didn't become "brittle" (and the fact that you would use that word to describe structural steel should be proof enough that you have no idea what you're talking about). Steel loses a significant amount of its strength when exposed to high temperatures. It doesn't need to "melt" to fail structurally. The structural system of the twin towers was such that the trusses underneath the floor slabs provided the lateral support for the interior and exterior columns. Those trusses were not "thick", at least not as thick as the columns. When the trusses failed, the floors no longer provided the lateral support to the columns. A column's capacity to support weight is proportional to the square of its height. When a floor support failed, a column's effective height doubled, and its ability to support a load was reduced not in half, but to one quarter of its capacity. Now imagine you are asked to hold a 100 pound bucket above your head. Maybe you could do it. Now imagine you're suddenly placed inside a sauna, and out of nowhere that 100 pound bucket turned into a 400 pound bucket. Think you'd be able to do it? You don't have to answer, because I don't care what your answer is. I'm not replying to convince you. I'm replying to dispel your myths to anyone else who is curious about the truth.
@@PaveDearce good explanation, sounds about right :D But why (not directed to you), why the f do all these guys Discuss this below such comments thats waaaaay out of scope
I’m just glad that I got to see them in person before they were gone. It was 1995 on a school bus trip from Atlanta to various sites in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts; I guess we called it a “History Trip”. We were were planning on doing our actual Manhattan visit on the way back from Boston, but we stopped, for some leg stretching, at the 'Liberty Science Center', right across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan. It was a beautiful day and those buildings were just massive, looming overhead. They were magnificent! If we hadn’t have stopped there that day I never would have seen them, for as we came back through, for the 'New York City' leg of our journey, it was right when Category 4 Hurricane 'Opal' was creeping up the 'Gulf of Mexico' covering the entire eastern seaboard in heavy clouds. We went to the top of the 'Empire State Building' and saw absolutely nothing, it was like standing in a fog machine. So I’m grateful for that one beautiful sunny day, standing relatively close to where those towers stood, in the gleaming rays of light.
Construction is always a dangerous and physical job, Can you imagine doing this type of work 8 to 10 hours a day, 5 to 6 sometimes 7 days a week. Construction workers never get consideration and respect as they should!!
At 2:09 the name Cathy is visible. I was an iron worker apprentice with Local 580 and Cathy was my girlfriend when I painted this. Today Cathy and I have been married 45 years.
Thomas, congratulations on both you and Cathy, after so many years after you was on it constructing it , it must have been heartbreaking seeing in destroyed years later.
My father was an iron worker on the trade center. I watched this video to maybe see if he was in it somewhere. He died in 2008. I was on the phone with him when the first tower came down. He was literally speechless like all of us. I know it went beyond just the tragedy for him and all the other workers who helped build it.
True, the construction workers must have been sick to the bone when they came down. I know I would have been. It was awful enough seeing it on TV alone.
These guys were hanging off the edge and weren't even wearing any harnesses because occupational health and safety organizations weren't a thing back then. Surprised their balls didn't bend the steel beams.
Vinicius Drummond yes but not with the current software now such as AutoCAD, allowing an easier way to design this entire structure 😂 this project was a milestone quit being a smartass
Those towers weren't only architectural and engineering masterpieces but also exquisitely beautiful in their simplicity and symmetry. I miss seeing them as part of the skyline
ROWAN VAN AS It wouldn’t be worth it. For a few reasons. The towers designs would’ve had to be severely edited. They would’ve costed more money. And NYC didn’t need two towers. It was really hard for the WTC One to find clients to rent floors in the first place , so two towers at 1,000+ would’ve costed more money than worth. NYC also didn’t have enough money to built two twin towers. And we should rebuilt differently, and change. Show the terrorists that we are strong and rebuild. And not just build the same exact buildings in the same place. Also people would be traumatized by seeing the same towers again.
@@WOWTODAZ There was a hot debate if they should be rebuilt. What they should look like. Should they be bigger? Should it be the same design? ETC They instead built just one building with a more modern design next to the original and made it the symbolic 1776 feet in height.
I was there when the hole was being dug for the foundation. I was there when the buildings were being erected. I saw the second plane hit and I saw both buildings collapse.
@Senor Frog Now that's conspiracy.... Lmao no wonder people always telling you to go wear your tinfoil hat... Why not use science and engineering instead...
Ah, I see insanity is still upon us in society! How obscure of you to make such remarkable and impossible points to a conspiracy theory that couldn’t impossibly be real. The points are absurd, and too complicated for their time, however I respect your opinion on the matter, as we all have free will to believe what we wish,
Two very elegant buildings. I visited the south tower in 1992 and was astonished. The turbo elevater lifted us up to the las t floor within one minute. Unbelievable! Sad what happened.
@@elainejones9299 Titanic sinking couldve been easily prevented if captain Smith and the crew had listened to the 20 something ice warnings... Plus they were going at full speed.
@@Gencturk92 ummm no it wasn't... The buildings were flawed. The trusses gave way and the outer perimeter columns started to bow inwards and eventually buckled starting the collapse and fell away from the building in large sections. The trusses were bolted to the perimeter walls and all that needed to happen was for those bolts to fail and break... Without the floors and outer columns the core couldnt support itself. Once the collapse started it couldnt stop.
It not a spoiler. Everyone know that World Trade Center destroy in 9/11. By looking the map in New York today, you see that people who born in 80s and 90s know that old World Trade Center have been gone and replace with new future World Trade Center.
This documentary was made in 1973, the year that the towers were completed. ***Correction: This documentary was in fact made in 1983, commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the completion of the World Trade Center***
Tues 2001...Im working in the marketing field....we were calling on an automatic dial up to business to business I clearly remember people getting upset saying why are u calling to sell us your service the wtc been attacked...well every1 at work got sent home...I and a female co worker named vanessa said let get out of here and play pool in time we ended up getting married had two children...life is wonderful people..your feelings are always considered...remember that. R.I.P WTC
My girlfriend was at work, some thirty miles south of Manhattan, for a company selling their 'service' and the manager in the office that day insisted she carry on even as the majority of their customer base either did not answer the phone or couldn't be bothered. More than a few times on September 11, 2001 she was asked, "Don't you know what's happening?" Where I was working back then we listened on the radio to the ABC TV News network feed as Peter Jennings kept us informed as to what little was then known. Our business ships auto parts in the North Eastern Zone and _nothing_ went north of New Brunswick, New Jersey, for three days after September 11, 2011.
2nd Time Around ...people had to die for your children to be born. I’m a late child. My parents decided they need a second kid. Because someone they knew has lost his only son. Someone had to die in a ski accident in Austria so that I could be born. I don’t even know his name. :/

Imagine seeing these amazing buildings next to the new One World Trade Center. It would be an amazing sight. Let’s have a moment of silence for the people who lost there lives in 9/11
I remember when I was a kid riding thru Manhattan, it's was thunderstorming and the wind was crazy, u could see the towers swaying, it's was the coolest thing, trees looked like they was gonna fall but not the towers, till this day I still remember it like it was yesterday, it was amazing, no good bastards knocked down my favorite buildings..
@@dame5079 its ok but nothing can compare to the twins, just on how massive the area was, 2 of the world's tallest buildings, identical side by side, nobody in the world was doing like that, now every country in the world has super tall buildings that look better then ours. That day hurt & broke us in so many ways
@@nothaviniteither Yup! The unimaginable beauty in two of the most simplistic looking buildings! The design inside and out was so interesting I could have spent hours just exploring the area
There's something so majestic yet scary about skyscrapers. Just looking at the sheer scale of the WTC and the number of people crammed onto each floor, you cannot imagine the terror in people's minds on the day of 9/11. Imagine knowing that you're going to die and you have to pick one of two options... being burnt and crushed or jumping out of a window. Utterly horrific.
One of the biggest icons of NYC, you knew what city it was when you saw those towers, beautiful buildings, providing a breathtaking view of Manhattan and the Hudson Bay, wish they were still here
These guys that built this ..........They put in some back breaking hard labor imo & years of it. What a beautiful trophy of a building. Mammoth & awesome
New Yorkers hated it initially because it was a sleek modern design in a city where skyscrapers were iconic like the Chrysler Building and the Empire State. However, it wasn't long before we embraced the unique structures as our own!
heartbreaking to watch this incredible documentary about this almost unimaginable feat of engineering.. knowing what happened in 2001. It had to have been soul crushing to every man who worked on this project seeing what became of their years of backbreaking work. God bless the construction and iron workers and every man who put his heart & soul into his work on this magnificent project.
@@AntiMasonic93 yeah youre a off there bud, and i mean way off Those were passenger planes. 4 in total, 2 into the towers, one to the pentagon and the last near white house (i think)
Pretty amazing to see the construction of these buildings, seeing these very talented and brave workers is pretty cool. Wasn't alive to see the buildings myself but I have been to the memorial but judging by the fountains, they must've been massive buildings.
Jesus, I'm a structural welder and there were clips of guys pre heating some huge bevels for field welding. All done with SMAW / Stick welding, such a shame what greed, envy, money, revenge, and selfishness can do to people, the amount of mental and physical labor that goes into these buildings or any sort of tangible structure is under appreciated.
@12weasel100 I was pointing out how much labor went into the welding, and building. I was also pointing out that those buildings were toppled because of greed, envy and selfishness.
Beautiful buildings. The amount of work involved in preparation, foundations, structure, internal fitting out, telecoms, etc. is absolutely phenomenal: all whilst allowing neighbouring infrastructure to continue unaffected throughout.
28 years seems so little , i'm from 1973 myself . kinda bizarre to think about it , I'm old now . soon it will be gone longer than it existed . time really flies
Its weird going into that museum knowing that what I am standing in was last really seen by the people who built the place and was never meant to be seen after the place was built.
Watching the aerial/high level pictures gave me a vertigo attack, it’s a horrible feeling, especially when you consider my military service involved flying at altitude quite a lot, but ever since retiring I can’t stand to be two feet of the ground let alone 20,000 feet. Hats of to the brave and skilled steel workers, not many could do it. Thanks for sharing this interesting and informative film 🎥. 👍
I can't believe that the structural calculations needed for these towers where made by computers whose power was less than our cell phones. Unbelievable.
@Jennifer Rissetti Really funny how Trump is blamed for everything that goes on. Even when not in office. I guess we should blame the next event on George Washington, and his "liberal" people. Grow up, get a life and deal with it. If not able to, maybe N. Korea or China has a place for you.
All I can say is God Bless all those involved in the design and construction of these amazing feats of achievements. As a native NY'er and a former IBEW member, I can say my heart has never healed from the tragic evil that took the innocent lives and hard work of many. My solace is the fact that we as humans can persevere. Never forgotten, always in our hearts.
You know a cool thing about them is that at the bottom, if you stood right on the corner stuck to the wall and then looked up, it would be as if the tower was gonna fall on you and you could se it sway a little.
Just for clarification, this video was released in 1983, but it was shot in 1970-1973. The towers construction was completed and the buildings opened in 73.
Jonny Danger...working in the steel or construction industry wasn’t easy during that era....living in NY isn’t easy...not dramatization...with out those men the twin towers wouldn’t of existed..all the architect did was design it...but it took “LABOR” to produce it...and as most high rises, accidental deaths along with it
The foundation work for these towers was crazy let alone the entire building. I’m a trades man myself and would of loved to work on these towers, truly mind blowing when you know how much work went into the towers
tt: 1:30 - 2:13 " Their great height was made possible by the use of LOAD BEARING WALLS. Extremely tall buildings were traditionally inefficient since huge amounts of interior space were taken up by a structural supports and elevators. The Trade Center towers would overcome this problem. The exterior walls were designed to bear much of the weight of the towers as well as all the wind loads. The only internal supports would be in a central core of columns. Elevators would be placed in the shafts formed by core columns. To further conserve space the towers would be organised in a three zones served by express elevators. Local elevators would run within each zone. These engineering considerations determine the towers' basic design. "
This is one of the stupidest "good ol' days" comments i've ever seen. Modern skyscrapers and buildings in general look a lot better, are more efficient to build, are more enviroment friendly, are more energy efficient, are safer in a case of an emergency and avoiding the emergency in the first place etc etc
Kanat Makhanov Well, “fun fact” the reason the one wtc is designed with 8 walls like that is cause to respect the twin towers, since each building had 4 walls.
I remember my first time on the observation deck, and the crazy fast elevator to get there! It’s still incredible to me that the footprint of each building was one acre. Hard for me to fathom they’re got at times.
I’ve always liked the towers. I’ve stood between them looking up but never went in. I hate heights and never been up any big tower in NYC. These were elegantly designed and beautiful to look at

Really interesting document, thank you for uploading. I see it's really hard for some people to realize, that 1983 is probably the year this document was made.
@11:25 you can see the tarps used to keep the fireproofing (asbestos) overspray contained. Just imagine how much Asbestos went all over the lower east side of Manhattan from the overspray that wasn't contained. @12:32 you can see the Asbestos sprayed column on the right side of the screen.
I took a photo of the towers when I was visiting in the late 80’s...the photo hangs in my bedroom to this day. God bless America and all the lives and families lost on that terrible day.❤️✝️🇺🇸🙏
I took the photo while riding the ferry. The Statue of Liberty and the New York sky line is in the photo but it was cloudy that day..so I doubt it would show up clearly. There was a lot of smog around the twin towers which gave a ghostly appearance to the towers. Always love visiting New York and haven’t been back since that horrible day....
Tuesday, 9/11/2001 was the worse day for new York. Today 17 years later, Tuesday 9/11/2018. American is still and will forever remember and grieve for those lost ones that where never properly laid to rest
Melissa Goode I'm in Melbourne. I still clearly remember waking up on the morning of the 12th, getting ready for school, eating my cereal, and wondering why Cheez TV Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z wasn't on and instead watching my two favourite towers get blown to bits. Remember it like it was last week.
I've been in Commercial construction for many years. I'm a Sprinkler Man. Not uncommon to be on same job for a year or two. I call it seeing it COME OUT OF THE GROUND. I remember every building I worked on from Ground Up. Running Standpipe, Core Drilling Ect... The best feeling is TOPPING OFF PARTIES. every construction worker at least commercial knows this. A lot of people had their hard work involved in Twin Towers building them . But they got it done. Something to be proud of. Yes they are gone but no construction worker could see that coming. I feel proud of buildings I've worked in.

Beautiful video! I could have watched this for hours. When they came down, my wife was nearly 9 months pregnant and we held each other and watched in horror, wondering what kind of world we were about to bring our baby girl into. We didn’t share this with her until she was 5 years old, unable to find the language to explain. During that period we flew with her several times, an experience which for her was free of fear.
For those who are wondering, the background music was written by Tony Hymas. This particular tune is called the 'outward urge' if I remember correctly. Quite fitting music to the WTC. Both products represent the ultimate expression of architectural and musical modernism.
@@Introvert_2001 no luck so far at my end, unfortunately :/ i've been digging a lot and found simmilar music, but not this specific one. it plays in my head everytime i see a big construction site :) i'll notify you if i find it, please do the same :)
The fact that some of these workers died during the construction process just for them to be destroyed is sad… rip to everyone who lost their lives on the tragic day of September 11, 2001. And rip to the construction works who also lost their lives.
World Trade Center Building complex Area: 16 acres Owner: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Groundbreaking: August 5, 1966 Destroy date: September 11, 2001 Inaugurated: April 4, 1973 Architects: Minoru Yamasaki, Emery Roth
The floor panels being put into place at 10:00 later became the source of the white ribbon-like debris falling from the towers. For so long I thought they were pieces of vertical blinds, but I just caught another documentary that mentioned the white strips came from the floors. Now I see what they meant.
I remember they were carrying artifacts and pieces of the building around the country as a memorial . I didn't even know what it was because they had it set up in a mall in NC one weekend . I remember opening the door and a wave of sadness overtook me and everyone else . I just started quaking with tears . Was one of the most supernatural things I've ever encountered.
My Grandfather helped build the North Tower he was one of many thousands of workers high in the sky. Very smart man Then he washed the windows high in the sky in the 1970’s. Then he seen 9-11-2001. Broke his heart, it broke all of are hearts. I miss him. 😢 RIP to all!
It still reminds me of the building that I visited for the first and last time when I was four years old. at that time, when my father went to New York from Korea for a business transaction to promote a new product with his family. on may 23, we visited WTC and my father proposed to us after finishing duty, we visited tower had an observatory, so we could go to the roof. so we went up to the observatory, and there was a telescope on the square deck There weren't many people that day, so we could enjoy the panoramic view of Manhattan in a leisurely way and the huge antenna on the other side of the tower was also very impressive and it has not been forgotten for 18 years. In addition, several planetary-shaped balls were rolling down the hall and under the observatory, including a long escalator and a rail attached to the ceiling of the lower floor of the observatory. at the time, I was four years old, but I was surprised to see all of NY City outside a small rectangular window. but when we came back to Korea, I first saw the terrorist attack on the 9 p.m. news that day. I was four years old without knowing anything, but I was quite surprised to see people wandering around in blood and white ashes. but the most shocking thing was that the magnificent, wonderful building we visited three months ago...the wonderful building became white dust and disappeared with a lot of people, and the father who watched the news in the living room couldn't say anything, and the mother sobbed.i was a very young child who forgot very quickly and didn't now much about the world, but it's been a shock for quite a long time, even though it was a terrorist attack in another country. Although I have never visited New York again, I would like to visit Ground Zero again if I have a chance, and I want to do a memorial for the victims there. R.I.P

Read Dr. Judy Woods' book, "Where Did the Towers Go? Evidence of Directed Free Energy on 9/11." It might answer your question.
@Joseph Hinton super nano thermite was used. That's why the fires at the site lasted for months. Go on and look that up. No regular fire lasts for months.

The steel didn't become "brittle" (and the fact that you would use that word to describe structural steel should be proof enough that you have no idea what you're talking about). Steel loses a significant amount of its strength when exposed to high temperatures.
It doesn't need to "melt" to fail structurally.
The structural system of the twin towers was such that the trusses underneath the floor slabs provided the lateral support for the interior and exterior columns. Those trusses were not "thick", at least not as thick as the columns.
When the trusses failed, the floors no longer provided the lateral support to the columns.
A column's capacity to support weight is proportional to the square of its height. When a floor support failed, a column's effective height doubled, and its ability to support a load was reduced not in half, but to one quarter of its capacity.

Ya I just got off a 21 day shift 12h a day. Great money! Keeps you motivated

Those towers weren't only architectural and engineering masterpieces but also exquisitely beautiful in their simplicity and symmetry. I miss seeing them as part of the skyline
i would have just rebuilt them if i was new york
ROWAN VAN AS It wouldn’t be worth it. For a few reasons. The towers designs would’ve had to be severely edited. They would’ve costed more money. And NYC didn’t need two towers. It was really hard for the WTC One to find clients to rent floors in the first place , so two towers at 1,000+ would’ve costed more money than worth. NYC also didn’t have enough money to built two twin towers. And we should rebuilt differently, and change. Show the terrorists that we are strong and rebuild. And not just build the same exact buildings in the same place. Also people would be traumatized by seeing the same towers again.
@@JakeT420 damn I didn’t even think bout this
@@JakeT420 Very well said
@@WOWTODAZ There was a hot debate if they should be rebuilt. What they should look like. Should they be bigger? Should it be the same design? ETC
They instead built just one building with a more modern design next to the original and made it the symbolic 1776 feet in height.
I was there when the hole was being dug for the foundation. I was there when the buildings were being erected. I saw the second plane hit and I saw both buildings collapse.

The trusses gave way and the outer perimeter columns started to bow inwards and eventually buckled starting the collapse and fell away from the building in large sections.

I didnt realise how deep the towers were or how high and the amount of work to build it. So interesting.
For those remarking on "1983" in the title...that's the year the documentary was made..
This documentary was made in 1973, the year that the towers were completed. ***Correction: This documentary was in fact made in 1983, commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the completion of the World Trade Center***
Paul Kersey couldn’t be, in the documentary the narrator mentions the TV tower being erected in 1978 13:31
Gold Killer it’s probably a 5 year anniversary then
aston nex well they were built in the 70s so the footage is from then. I’m assuming the documentary was made in the 80s years after completion.

Nice, short but beautiful story. May God bless you an your family.
My girlfriend was at work, some thirty miles south of Manhattan, for a company selling their 'service' and the manager in the office that day insisted she carry on even as the majority of their customer base either did not answer the phone or couldn't be bothered. More than a few times on September 11, 2001 she was asked, "Don't you know what's happening?"
Where I was working back then we listened on the radio to the ABC TV News network feed as Peter Jennings kept us informed as to what little was then known. Our business ships auto parts in the North Eastern Zone and _nothing_ went north of New Brunswick, New Jersey, for three days after September 11, 2011.
2nd Time Around ...people had to die for your children to be born. I’m a late child. My parents decided they need a second kid. Because someone they knew has lost his only son. Someone had to die in a ski accident in Austria so that I could be born. I don’t even know his name. :/

@@nothaviniteither Yup! The unimaginable beauty in two of the most simplistic looking buildings! The design inside and out was so interesting I could have spent hours just exploring the area
Now there was some brave guys that built these buildings !
There's something so majestic yet scary about skyscrapers. Just looking at the sheer scale of the WTC and the number of people crammed onto each floor, you cannot imagine the terror in people's minds on the day of 9/11. Imagine knowing that you're going to die and you have to pick one of two options... being burnt and crushed or jumping out of a window. Utterly horrific.
This is heartbreaking to see, when i saw the steel beams i remembered the people waving for help on 9/11. God may have them in peace.
One of the biggest icons of NYC, you knew what city it was when you saw those towers, beautiful buildings, providing a breathtaking view of Manhattan and the Hudson Bay, wish they were still here
tbh ... whenever I saw the skyline of NYC in movies after 9/11 ... it just looked like Boston to me.
These guys that built this ..........They put in some back breaking hard labor imo & years of it. What a beautiful trophy of a building. Mammoth & awesome
Then have them destroyed 30 years later!
New Yorkers hated it initially because it was a sleek modern design in a city where skyscrapers were iconic like the Chrysler Building and the Empire State. However, it wasn't long before we embraced the unique structures as our own!
heartbreaking to watch this incredible documentary about this almost unimaginable feat of engineering.. knowing what happened in 2001. It had to have been soul crushing to every man who worked on this project seeing what became of their years of backbreaking work. God bless the construction and iron workers and every man who put his heart & soul into his work on this magnificent project.

Pretty amazing to see the construction of these buildings, seeing these very talented and brave workers is pretty cool. Wasn't alive to see the buildings myself but I have been to the memorial but judging by the fountains, they must've been massive buildings.
Jesus, I'm a structural welder and there were clips of guys pre heating some huge bevels for field welding. All done with SMAW / Stick welding, such a shame what greed, envy, money, revenge, and selfishness can do to people, the amount of mental and physical labor that goes into these buildings or any sort of tangible structure is under appreciated.
@12weasel100 I was pointing out how much labor went into the welding, and building. I was also pointing out that those buildings were toppled because of greed, envy and selfishness.
Beautiful buildings. The amount of work involved in preparation, foundations, structure, internal fitting out, telecoms, etc. is absolutely phenomenal: all whilst allowing neighbouring infrastructure to continue unaffected throughout.

Best video I've seen showing the structural components and construction engineering techniques used.
Incredible that they managed to keep the underground trains running THROUGH the site during construction!!
I remember those jumpers of 9/11. Can’t even imagine the feeling and how it was bad up there that they have to jumped. Rest in peace..
You know a cool thing about them is that at the bottom, if you stood right on the corner stuck to the wall and then looked up, it would be as if the tower was gonna fall on you and you could se it sway a little.
Just for clarification, this video was released in 1983, but it was shot in 1970-1973. The towers construction was completed and the buildings opened in 73.

The foundation work for these towers was crazy let alone the entire building. I’m a trades man myself and would of loved to work on these towers, truly mind blowing when you know how much work went into the towers
tt: 1:30 - 2:13
"
Their great height was made possible by the use of LOAD BEARING WALLS.
Extremely tall buildings were traditionally inefficient since huge amounts of interior space were taken up by a structural supports and elevators. The Trade Center towers would overcome this problem.
The exterior walls were designed to bear much of the weight of the towers as well as all the wind loads.
The only internal supports would be in a central core of columns.
Elevators would be placed in the shafts formed by core columns.
To further conserve space the towers would be organised in a three zones served by express elevators. Local elevators would run within each zone.
These engineering considerations determine the towers' basic design.
"
The music of this video is so iconic because when you hear it, it reminds you of what was conpared to what is now
The classical skyscrapers of the past century look much more better than modern day glass buildings with weird design.
This is one of the stupidest "good ol' days" comments i've ever seen. Modern skyscrapers and buildings in general look a lot better, are more efficient to build, are more enviroment friendly, are more energy efficient, are safer in a case of an emergency and avoiding the emergency in the first place etc etc
Also, most past century skyscrapers were ugly grey square buildings while new skyscrapers have all kinds of beautiful patterns
Kanat Makhanov Well, “fun fact” the reason the one wtc is designed with 8 walls like that is cause to respect the twin towers, since each building had 4 walls.
Triangle in a way.
ITryToLookLikeYou ok zoomed
I remember my first time on the observation deck, and the crazy fast elevator to get there! It’s still incredible to me that the footprint of each building was one acre. Hard for me to fathom they’re got at times.
I’ve always liked the towers. I’ve stood between them looking up but never went in. I hate heights and never been up any big tower in NYC. These were elegantly designed and beautiful to look at

It still reminds me of the building that I visited for the first and last time when I was four years old.
at that time, when my father went to New York from Korea for a business transaction to promote a new product with his family.
on may 23, we visited WTC and my father proposed to us after finishing duty, we visited tower had an observatory, so we could go to the roof.
so we went up to the observatory, and there was a telescope on the square deck There weren't many people that day, so we could enjoy the panoramic view of Manhattan in a leisurely way and the huge antenna on the other side of the tower was also very impressive and it has not been forgotten for 18 years.
In addition, several planetary-shaped balls were rolling down the hall and under the observatory, including a long escalator and a rail attached to the ceiling of the lower floor of the observatory.
at the time, I was four years old, but I was surprised to see all of NY City outside a small rectangular window. but when we came back to Korea, I first saw the terrorist attack on the 9 p.m. news that day.
I was four years old without knowing anything, but I was quite surprised to see people wandering around in blood and white ashes.
but the most shocking thing was that the magnificent, wonderful building we visited three months ago...the wonderful building became white dust and disappeared with a lot of people, and the father who watched the news in the living room couldn't say anything, and the mother sobbed.i was a very young child who forgot very quickly and didn't now much about the world, but it's been a shock for quite a long time, even though it was a terrorist attack in another country.
Although I have never visited New York again, I would like to visit Ground Zero again if I have a chance, and I want to do a memorial for the victims there.
R.I.P
Their architect Minoru Yamasaki died in 1986, so he did not witness either attack. Also, 60 workers died during their construction.
The workman ship is amazing. And for what tools they had. People these days can’t even build a 6 x 4 shed. True craftsmanship, I take my hat off.
This video was made in 83 for all those complaining
Well that's nice to know. Clarity was not to be said for miss leading title. Its nice to know that others had questions on said title and knew the answer. Spoken like a true dog, at least you can hear with those flaps, Brian.
Great video. I wish the original buildings were still standing and all the horrible events of that day never would of happened.
