New York is an engineering marvel, the complexity of all the interconnected systems, heating lines, tunnels, old mail vacuum pipes, drainage, subways and not to mention the proximity of all those buildings. It's crazy how anything works, but it does. Definitely on my list of top 10 cities to visit once the pandemic is over, and I run into some money, well, hopefully. Nice footage.
The plane landed at La Guardia Airport in Queens, NYC. The plane flew over Brooklyn, then Queens. In the beginning of the video that was the Verrazano Bridge. From Staten Island to Brooklyn. The New York Harbor. Lower downtown Manhattan skyscrapers. Financial district, etc. Eventually midtown was shown. This flight was likely a domestic flight. Born/raised NYC/NY'er here. Ex-pat. In Europe. Looking at this video. I hope you get to see my city & enjoy your time visiting, in the future.
@@elizhazhr it depends on which airport you are leaving from and which airport you will land in, id say if you are leaving from an American airport sit on the left, and any other country sit on the right
One of the best, if not the best, landing videos out there of NYC and surrounding areas. Perfect sunlight, cloud cover, time of day and of year to allow viewers to see the best... Thank you.
This is the type of video that will amaze people in the future looking back on the great societies of today. Imagine if we could get this type of view of Egypt or Rome during it's ancient height?
Great comment. Seeing Rome or Constantinople/Istanbul at their prime, or when the Great pyramids of Giza shone under the sun. We owe a lot to the inventor of the camera
Just get to Mexico and head north to Texas. Once in Texas they will provide you a complimentary bus ride to New York City!!! You will be here in no time and will be well taken care of.
@@priyac7054 Central Park is artificial thing and including Brooklyn. Only we are trying to save and maintain only green patches. No natural order anywhere.
@@afraz-khan well that's just you and your idea about what new york represents, your mere figment of imagination, coz in reality, New York City is home to hundreds of animal species, making it a vibrant hub of urban wildlife. 14% (30,000 acres) of New York City is comprised of park land, with 196 species of trees, over 200 species of birds visit or reside full time in Central Park, and there is far more to see than just what the Central Park Zoo offers. The U.S. Forest Service estimates that New York City’s trees provide a total of $109,782,640 in various benefits annually through stormwater interception, energy conservation, air pollution removal, and more. New York city is literally one of the greenest cities in the world
I never really realized how large New York really was, until I saw your clip. Even when I read once, that it takes 3 whole days to walk from one end of New York, to the other end, I couldn't comprehend it. But now I do. So thank you for filming this. 👍
@@just_cade It certainly does, particularly the lower tip of Manhattan. But quite honestly, I think it was even nicer before the 1960's when the buildings were constructed differently. If you get a chance do a search for photos from the 1950's. Shots taken from the Brooklyn side near the Brooklyn Bridge are something special IMHO.
Do it. That was my dream as well. And i did it. I just flew all on my own to do what i want, to see what i want, to visit what i want and to spend time whereever i want and how long i want! The best 6-day trip in my life. NYC is such a great place, old and dirty on one hand but charming, interesting, beautiful on the other hand. I never enjoyed a holiday trip that much! And i see forward to my next trip to NYC. Greetings from booooring Germany
@@Veiquosa ohhh... How nice and I am imagining that 😅😅😅...i wish to do like as much you did.... But NYC is too far frm where I lived now... Btw I'm from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia... a country just between Thailand and Singapore.... and Indonesia too.... Hv you been to south east Asia before?
@@daddykarl3312 Oh wooow. Thats more than twice the distance from where i live. But it’s not impossible. Make a stop in germany for 2 days and then fly to the US. It will be a little expensive but i guess it’s worth it. I once visited tokyo because a friend of mine is living there. But except for tokyo i never went to asia.
@@Veiquosa Germany isn't boring. I remember playing basketball with kids in their backyard while walking on the road alongside Rhine cruise. Very nice people.
@@6666shashank ya it's just beautiful as Paris n most of European countries.... I loved all the Old and Historical buildings which are still there and harmonically stands with the modern civilization... I've been to Paris, Madrid, Helsinki, Bologna ,Florence in Italy and Istanbul...i loved all of them....
This makes me want to visit NY!!! The breathtaking views are surely a treat for the eyes!!! What a beautiful approach and an equally beautiful & amazing city.
@@nunyvanstta135 yes.. Its sad. NYC sleeping.. Wonder when it is going to wake up.. And how long will it take until she's had some coffee and ready to start... Oh crap..you know where is going...
The plane flew over Bklyn & Queens. You are looking at the East River & the east side of Manhattan. The Hudson Yards are way west side along the Hudson River. Born/raised NYC/NY'er here. And people are clicking on your misinformed info.
@@leroyybrown Oh...ok...got it. The new skyscrapers. The city within the city. My mistake. Forgive me. I left the U.S. some years ago. I haven't seen any of this yet. My old neighborhood Chelsea is just south.
Amazing video. I used to work in NYC as a mover in 2000-2002 and there were no smartphones and the only navigation was a paper map so I literally know almost all the street names down below :))
As I landed in JFK once there was a beautiful orange and pink sunset right behind the city, and the buildings were all almost black silhouettes against it. It was very beautiful and the whole plane was craning their necks to look out the one side of the plane
Wow 😳 so cool ... I've never been up in an airplane before {I've been around for 57 yrs}, and never care to ... but, I gotta say, thank you thank you for showing & sharing this with us - the next best way of flying in a plane, without having to actually be on one. And wow again - I've never been to NYC before, and probably never will {I don't drive anymore}, so this too is the next best thing to being able to visually see NYC & be up in a plane at the same time. All the cars look like teeny tiny little mites, and the houses buildings too. What a sight! And, how in God's name, with all the heavy tons & tons of weight from all of those concrete/brick bldgs, do not weaken the dirt of the earth not give in, causing those buildings to collapse, surrounded with all that water, is beyond me. Nice to see, but glad I don't live there, no thank you. Thx again 😌
I've flown into New York City several times but I'm afraid of heights so I never look out the window. Thank you for this video because now I can see what I'm flying over =D
