Building The World Trade Center 1970s Stock Footage 

And looking down from them were simply amazing.

@@traindude432 got something on your mind irl bro? it’s okay, you can let it out

I completely agree when I saw them as a young teenager on a school trip to NYC I thought they were pretty amazing. I remember the buildings were so tall that the clouds covered the tops of the North and South Towers respectively. God bless to the victims of the shitty events of 9/11.

but people believe these 2 towers crumbled by a crash from an airliner as if these buildings were made of crumbly stone

Well, Americans actually hated them at first. They made jokes and insults about them such as, “welcome to New York, the home of the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building and the packages they came in!” and critics referred to them as “giant packs of staples”

@@CoolCademMAnimates-fz1ui People usually are very critical of new designs. Clothes, cars etc. After a few years your eyes get used to it and you even start to like it :P I think they looked amazingly powerful because the shape was so simple.

The old McGraw Hill films remember them well

The narrator has that relaxed voice too. Like an ASMR video. No wonder kids were calmer then

It reminds me of Sponge Bob.

Indeed! The music is so beautiful and appropriate!

It sounds like something you’d hear in a Hanna Barbera cartoon from the 60s

@@stoolsample4431 It reminds me of Mork and Mindy and all those happy sitcoms of those decades.

WHY DONT YOU SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡

I do too. I got to see them too when I was also 13 and went on a middle school school trip to NYC. Didn't you think it was cool how on a cloudy day the buildings were so tall that the cloud covered the tops of the towers so the buildings appeared to look like an infinite tall structure going up into the clouds.

I was born near Boston in '64, and moved out West in '75, and as a kid I watched the towers being built too, saw them every time we went by on the highway to visit relatives. I lived near Cleveland Hopkins Airport/NASA and watched it all live on TV from mere minutes after the first plane hit, saw the second plane hit, and watched Flight 93 make that u-turn basically over my house before it crashed in PA. RIP victims.

From my point of view (born in 1981, English) I think I was vaguely aware of the World Trade Center before the attack, but the Empire State Building was always the most famous building in New York, and of course the Statue of Liberty at least equalling it as the most famous structure. I think you are right that it was often featured in a brief skyline shot of New York (naturally; it was relatively new and so much taller than any other building, how could it not be) but I don't remember it being the focus of any movies that I saw (unlike the Empire State Building, before and after the WTC was built). That's not to do-down the WTC, it was remarkable for its impact on the skyline and the more I discover about the design and features of the site as a whole the more interesting it is to me. I have the vaguest of memories that I might have bought a series of 'bookazines' as a young boy featuring notable buildings such as this, I think it may have featured a pop-up cardboard model of the Manhattan skyline. I fondly remember those sorts of products, informative publications that told little boys like me and my brother about cool things like massive buildings, aircraft and cars :) Some people say the WTC was criticised at the time for the plain appearance of the buildings compared to the classic skyscrapers of New York, and certainly one can appreciate that, but they were of their time, functional and in their own way make a positive statement, their simple appearance mirrored by one another, two twin beacons of engineering advancement. They are far more acceptable as part of the skyline than the chaotic jumble of peculiarities that make up the modern London skyline, the Gherkin and Cheesegrater looking not stylish or quintessentially typical of any time period other than that they are obviously trying to look unique but do so in an ugly way.

The start?

I agree!! As a Dutch citizen myself, I've lived in the US for over 5 years. I know people who went to the US before 9/11, and visited afterwards and they said afterwards was surreal. It was almost as if America wasn't as open as it once was. America became defense towards anyone visiting, whereas before 9/11 America would welcome everyone, especially citizens from other western countries. Unfortunately that's what is still going on today. Maybe more so than ever before!!

Omg stop with the revisionists bs. Problems been around forever

It was the first attack from abroad on the U.S.A. in the history of the U.S.A. How many attacks by Islamists have there been around the world since ? Bataclan, Manchester, and that is just concerts. I was at a festival a year after Manchester and it was actually reassuring that there were some Policemen walking around with Machine guns in full view, while the normally fun compere Dave Benson gave everyone instructions on what to do in case of an "emergency".

Racism has never been more stronger

I always say that too….there was this unspoken pride in America especially in the tri-state area we all took it personal and we all stood together. Today unfortunately people will walk right over you if anyone was on fire. I have never seen such a sweeping change in personal moral in just a few years. We are so far apart today you can put one side on the moon and I don’t think the distance would be enough.

Too bad we were United for such a short while

@@joeyvatz2243 joey I remember Trump calling into FOX claiming he now owned the tallest building in Manhattan. No concern for the dead, just me me me.

Oh yeah I remember I think he also called it 711

@@joeyvatz2243 BiDem by the #’s🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

My mama used to call the WTC the boxes that the city came in.

fun fact in 1 WTC you could fit like 6 Titanics volume wise, 4 up until 270 feet, and 2 squashed at the rest at the top. so like 12 titanics in 2 twin towers. On a serious note. For me the rubble or debris left was infinitely too small for the size of those buildings.

@@arncj18 gotta consider most of the concrete turned to pulverized dust as the towers collapsed, thus the massive cloud of fallout.

@@arncj18 the concrete floors and windows turned to dust plus you have to remember that a lot of rubble went below ground too, so it looked less.

The energy released during the collapse rivaled the atomic bomb that was dropped of Hiroshima. Next morning the dust blanketed the New York skyline heading north.

Pay respects for 70-80 million south asians death under your imperial colonial rule , god knows how many more on other continents ☮️☮️☮️☮️

@@user-hx6kn1xq3e we didn't do that. do you honestly think the people of any country are in favour of the violent marauding that has gone over the last 50-100 years? do some research, most of the death, destruction and profiteering has been the same groups of organised criminals.

There nut jobs, don't listen to them walt.

My uncle 9/11 had his 2nd birthday 😓

Not competing here, but I am from the UK and I too was at college and the same age when the atrocities took place. Can’t believe that it’s almost 20 years. My friend was driving me home from college that day and we heard on the radio that a plane had hit one of the twin towers! Living in London at the time, Wembley Stadium was often referred to as the twin towers. I had no idea of the WTC, but that all changed once I got home and switched on the news. Sad times but I have visited the site twice since then and can’t imagine the horror of that day.
