A video my dad shot in the early 90's on our trip to New York City. Our visit to the observation deck of the World Trade Center. You can hear interference caused by all the radio and TV antennas.
I grew up with the Twin Towers during my childhood. I went on the roof of the South Tower back in 1994. I was 14 years old when they were destroyed back in 2001. I miss the Twin Towers everyday. #NeverForget911
It seems to fit with the 90s thing better. At 8:30 you can see that the World Financial Center underwent the copper oxidation effect. The roofs are made of copper and they're green.
There is good amount of RF up there right next to the antenna. Look closely and you see the camcorder picking up a TV signal....and lots of static on the sound. Since it changes with the movement of the camcorder, I don´t think it is from converting the video to VHS.
Thank you so much for showing the world this video. I am from Australia, and didn't visit New York prior to 9-11 2001, and still haven't. Thank you, Jared, for the opportunity to visit and experience the view. The video is both poignant and interesting.
The funny thing about why so many people keep staring at the twin towers ever since they were build is knowing how big they were! And too much of a show off to the world lol
exactly my thoughts. i feel sick even looking at that view knowing it was the last view many people had before they had to make that choice whether to burn or jump.
I remember seeing those buildings going up floor by floor. I was just a young kid. Been to the top numerous times. Never would I ever have thought they would were gone.
It's devastating to know the kind of death and destruction that took place at these two buildings years after this was filmed. I think we all wish we could go back to before 9/11 was ever burned into history. The world didn't seem so confusing back then. At least not to those of us who were very young when this all unfolded.
I’ve thought many times what if the FBI did their jobs and investigated the claims by the flight school. They knew who they were. Why didn’t they do something? We lost more than Two tall buildings and thousands of people. America lost its integrity and stability.
This is the South Tower which was hit second. You'd hope that they would evacuate people from there after seeing the North Tower get hit. However the South Tower wasn't properly evacuated like it should have been. Some people choose to leave but others stayed because there was an instruction that their tower was safe and didn't need to be evacuated.
Man, i really wish I could have seen the place in it's hayday. I was born six years after the incident, but i hear that there was a mall and a train underneath the building? that's insanely cool

I have a question. If the Twin Towers were still standing today, would the observation deck platform on the South Tower's roof eventually had been closed down? The observation deck platform on the South Tower's roof was only about 300 feet away from the North Tower's antenna. They did not allow visitors to the top of the North Tower because of the antenna there. The thought was they would get too much RF expose if they were that close for too long. If you're in close enough proximity for a certain length of time to that high of wattage of TV/radio signals, it can cause health problems. Apparently, the South Tower was far enough away to safely allow visitors, hence the observation deck there. Back in the 1970s, it was deemed safe to stand on the roof of 2 WTC, but in many videos, you can clearly hear and watch the radio interference. If you look at some videos taken on the observation, you can still hear analogue TV interference in their audio. If the twin towers were built today, I don't believe that they would surely allow anyone on the roof of the South Tower because of those interferences.
It’s unimaginable that people ended up having to jump out of the towers after they were hit. The heat and the smoke from the jet fuel were SO bad that jumping was actually the better option. RIP to all the lives lost that day 😔
Your Dad has a good eye, most people film out the window, his added intro provides the size context to help those who never went imagine it. His views of the city are steady and well chosen. Lovely.

Sorry for this comment being two years late. But they were the most beautiful buildings ever. They were bigger in person. Saw them a year before. I had just turned 15 two days before.
@@empressvogt Was there a mall down there? That's cool. I was 11, but I was still young/not really knowledgeable about things (lived in another country at the time)
