afonsords yeah... It's very strange seeing what the world looked like 24 years ago in such good quality... Imagine 50 years from now people seeing 4k footage of today... If watching this is strange then imagine what that would be like
This is so strange... Ive always realized that people from the past are pretty much exactly like us but seeing kids and teens in this in such high quality really made me FEEL that. All these people just living their life just another day. I wonder where they are now and how they're doing...
2:37- 3:13 When she said "It's good to live it again" and then that sax solo that lead to that last shot with the Twins Tower in the Background at night, i couldn't help but start sobbing, they ruined one of the most beautiful skyline in history.
About September/October 1993, based on the 'Paper Moon' sign at 2:00 (postponed in October that year) and the Paul Simon advert right at the top, which promotes his compilation album released September 28th that year.
I live in NYC close to 30 years, and it was th ebst times in my Life. Thank you NYC i learned, cried, and suffer, and yet it brought ne the best of me of Happyness . I live now overseas
Awww the summer of 1993 was the first summer I lived in NYC. I lived in the Village on MacDougal St between Bleecker and Houston. Great times. I was 20 and in college. I then lived in NYC between 1995 and 2003. Find memories. Now I’m just another 48 year old guy with a family and mortgage! Time flies folks.
does anyone else wanna know what happened to the people in this video? did they graduate uni? did they get married? did they have children? what careers did they move into? how did they cope with 9/11? did any die before it and retain innocence? did any perish in the towers? the human brain can do strange things, this is filmed a year before my birth, I don't know these people and they will never know I exist... yet I care enough about them to wonder these questions.
I think the '90s was the best decade for New York because crime rates started dropping by then, there were nicer looking taxi cabs (gotta love those Caprices!), and the twin towers were still there. Too bad I was born in '99.
The Twin Towers given to the city category and a special touch...,the golden age of NY is when the two skyscrapers was there. Now in 2018 the city looks empty without them. I miss the NY of the 80s and 90s.
I grew up without them there, so I have to say I prefer the new skyline over the old one, just having grown up with it. I love NY footage from the 90's though, the city just seems to have a totally different aura around it than it currently does.
0:34 I wish I had the chance to talk to this man in particular. I wonder what he had done when he was younger, what kind of stories he could tell and what lessons he had to pass down.
So beautiful and peaceful life!!! No one using a cell phone and people are very calm. This almost puts a (good) tear in my heart. WTC still there! *Such a peaceful scene!!!! Soo peaceful and simple!!*
High quality or high definition video recording technology has been around since the 1930's, the only thing is it was very expense and very rare until it's recent proliferation via smartphones.
I catch so many fun things in this video. The quality of this video is fresh as fuck. The music in the background fits to the video so well. Fucking *Robert De Niro*! #LMFAO 0:38 Rest In Peace, Twin Towers! 1:28 Much wow, drone like shit, from the 90s 2:07 Also, anyone who's wondering what song is playing, it's _Autumn In New York_ performed by *Kimiko Itoh*.
3:00 the old WTC was my dream place to go I always saw these towers on TV but after these towers collapsed in 01' I will never go 12 Hours to NYC after that terrorist attack
