In Greece, we have the ancient Parthenon, the building that has stayed up for almost 3000 years.. and we are proud of it. And you guys in USA have this beautiful building and the memorial marbles where so many people lost their lives.. It’s a life goal for me to get the money to go and see the tower and the memorials in real life. This made me tear up. You must be proud! You created a beautiful thing after a disaster
That’s really nice to hear!! I hope you go see it. I’ve always wanted to see it. However, I’m still reliant on my parents, and my mom refuses to go back to Ground Zero (this area) because there are too many painful memories. She had lunch at the Twin Towers a few times in the 1980s.
After that you must visit Afghanistan, and look at the ruins and mass grave yards of innocent men, women and children of that poor country who paid the ultimate price for something they had nothing to do with. That tears me up.
I'm sick of people calling this tower an ugly pile of goat shit. I'm sick of people complaining about its design. I'm sick of them going "OMG DIS TOWUR SUX REEBELD DUH TWEN TUWURZ!!!!!!" This is the BEST tower I've EVER seen in my entire life! It's like, the greatest modern building that's ever been built in New York! It's as great as London's gherkin building! Yes, I do miss the old WTC, but this is an amazing building! With all it's glory, it's the building of the future of NYC! Anyone who replies back to me saying "but the tower IS a piece of crap! Why can't you see that?!" My response is you don't like this tower still, you're gonna have to deal with it. Sorry, but this great epic tower is here to stay :)
Awesome. What a privilege to live in a culture that has the capability to recover, design, and construct this marvelous, beyond expectations monumental tribute to the many whose lives were so brutally destroyed. We thank all who did this amazing job, the concept and construction of the One World Trade Center, a beautiful remembrance . . . . .
As a person who is afraid of heights I got very anxious watching this because all I could think about were the people inside of and operating the cranes! At the same time I'm very much in awe of them.
Hola no conoci la Torres Gemelas en persona, me hubiera gustado conocerlas, pues familiares y amigos ya habian estado ahí, tenian su atractivo mágico, su diseño elegante y bonito. Fue una obra diseñada y construida por el Arquitecto Minuro Yamasaki, el esa época 1966, ya tenía el concepto de los espacios abiertos sin columnas y lo plasmo en su obra de las Torres Gemelas. También me he dado cuenta que en los edificios, centros comerciales, aeropuertos, etc. Han suprimido las terrazas, que las personas las utilizaban para observación turistica. :-) :-)
I think its bizarre that before the memorial was built, there was just an entire block of rubble where two giant towers used to be. Can you just imagine like driving by there one day and there’s literally nothing there like I would be so freaked out.
They assemble large derricks at the roof, disassemble the crane into pieces and send them down from the top with derricks. Then they use smaller derrick (individual pieces of which can fit into freight elevator) to disassemble large derricks. This is lengthy procedure.
+mjedge808 actually, the original song is called "Road to Glory" from Harbinger of Hell, and have 3.04 minutes. but i think the original song doens't exist in internet for free because no one knows it.
Fascinating to watch! The rising up of this mighty structure successfully replaces the sadness of the collapse with happiness of returning stronger than before! Building up is far more positive than tearing down. Revival at its best!
It'll never be the same. New York's skyline has forever changed without the twin towers. May all those who lost their lives Rest In Peace. May all those who served and are serving (men and women) who have given life and limb Rest In Peace and Thank You for your service. United We Stand!
spence120 - FREDMinecraftChannel It won't be plane-proof of course, but they designed it so wont collapse under it's own weight. Hence take LONGER than 10 seconds to go down.
Taxet horst Correct it was the intense heat, and too be honest the concrete or whatever they made it out of in 1961 or whenever they built it may of been good at the time, but I don't think when they were planning the original wtc they were expecting planes to hit it... I mean before 9/11 hijackers normally only wanted one thing and would land and demand money or something, but hijacking is different now, you can no longer access cockpits of planes from the passenger area, someone hijacking would need to climb round the plane XD, 9/11 will not happen again, well not with planes+skyscrapers anyway
Marvelous piece of video, beautifully executed. Shows what we can accomplish when we set our minds to it. I like the music with that video; wonder who wrote it.
it's beautiful....and to know this building is just a big hommage to those who lost their lives there. i didn't lose anyone there thankfully, but i lost many fellow americans. that day made me cry filled with fear and sorrow. after seeing this i almost feel like crying of happiness.
Cant believe they dubbed it "freedom tower". With "freedom" being the most overused word in America they could have come up with something a little more modern.
says 101 No. rebuilding the twin towers would show weakness. A desperate attempt to return to our old way of life because we are too scared to move forward into the unknown. It would be disrespectful to those who left us that terrible day. We must remember what happened and move forward with growing strength and unity. Ever upward my friend.
I wonder how long this will last? I suppose if there are Documents and computers In those offices??? RIP , To all the needless deaths and people who are still dying due to inhaling the toxic fog.
my last job was on a 49 story building, i quit the company when they made it up to the 42nd floor it was their biggest tower yet! working on projects like this are super safe before i left someone had a fall on i think the 32nd floor, he was tied off so nothing happened loads of safely measures are in place when you put things up like this! i would personally of loved to work on a project like this!
Thank goodness for timelapse, I lived a few blocks away from there during that time, (Independence Plaza) and that building took YEARS to build. Real slo-mo.
it's amazing to see this, it's like we rose from the ashes, reclaimed this great city. Terrorism will NOT be tolerated in our great country!! thank you to all the brave men and women who serve our country , to defend our freedom and protect us from those who seek to take it from us. RIP to all the families and all those we lost on this tragic day, you will never be forgotten!!!

One reason why they didn't is because to them you can only have those towers once. So they built one that is bigger stronger and has a way more complicated design. I've been to the top it is breathtaking.
***** I hope, but if will happens obviously would be in other part of the city, too bad Hudson Yards project took a place that would have been awesome to rebuild them.
With all respect/no further insinuation, it has to be said that the original Trade Center buildings were awful, aesthetically, and would have looked especially bad today compared to the the buildings cities like Shanghai and Hong Kong have seen rise in the last 10 years. NYC has a much better skyline now.
***** Did you really take it that that was the assertion I was making? Obviously not. The old twin towers were quite strongly criticised by architects. They were basically just the largest examples of a brutal concrete style that you see in post-war buildings all over Europe.
This building is a poor replacement for what were once twin titans in the sky. Maybe it was built stronger and more like a conventional box frame skyscraper, but it still doesn’t match or come close to the original towers. It’s not even the highest building in NYC any longer. Only because if it’s antenna does it hold that distinction, but the new Central Park tower in midtown when counted from street to rooftop is almost 200 ft higher
@@TheKonga88 no just no. fucking no. security is now very strict and no AIRPLANE will leave the airport anytime soon. those bastards had us in the first one but won't get us in the second, so shut the fuck off because there won't be another attack anymore.
Pathetic that it took 9 YEARS to construct a 4 year project !! If Silverstein ever buys this building.... I would strongly advise all residents to move out ASAP !!
You know what I, as a foreigner, like about America? They just keep on moving, 9/11 was the worst thing to ever in the american history, but they won't let that stop them from being prosperous.
TheReverantChoir They rose back up cause of the world war. Do you really want the USA of today to get better?? Thanks but no thanks. They had their shot and they blew it majorly.
Actually you didn't destroy our spirit that was the to we're young women and children joined our armed forces which makes out a large number today. And other countries soon followed us into combat
I THINK IT'S SO DAMN DISRESPECTFUL TO THE DECEASE TO CHARGE FOR THE 9/11 MEMORIAL &TO REBUILD ON A BURIAL GROUND THESE PEOPLE SUFFERED AND JUMPED TO THEIR DEATHS FOR ONCE HAVE SOME RESPECT AMERICA!!!
Once again USA has shown to the Islamic believers of delusion god called Allah, you can destroy one our buildings and dance to joy, but you cannot destroy our will to build it again and again. What has Muslim, Islam, Allah has achieved by killing 3000 innocent people? Nothing, zero. And you will never get Jerusalem.
Allah means God in the Arabic Language. He has 99 names. All of them symbolizes peace. Harming, killing, bombing, and terrorism do not exist in the name of Allah and in Islam. So I hope you knowwhat's the meaning of Allah. So if you can insult the name of Allah, 1 you don't believe in God and 2 you will see the results.
All your information are lies. If you don't know what ALLAHU AKBAR means, than don't say any think. Allah means God in the Arabic Language. That is what I'm talking about. Quit being Ignorant.
Mohamed Yusef Only Muslims tell the truth. All others are liars. I will be seeing you in paradise smoking Hooka with Allah lying on a reclining bed with my wives, earing fruits and drinking wine, while Mohammad will be playing his Arabic band, where 72 virgins will be dancing to the music of Hava Nagila. Its all written in the Quran.
I didn't say only Muslims tell the truth, I said all your information are lies. All this bad stuff you just typed wasn't in the Quran. You never read the Quran. You're never going to heaven after what you just said so just stop. Enough of your false information. Enough of your ignorance. Maybe if you didn't comment all that stuff, I wouldn't be replying. Just stop it because you don't know what you're talking about.
I stayed focus on the staircases. They must have been for the construction crew and crane operators because they vanaished. I can tell why it would take over an hour to walk down them.
