World Trade Center in VIRTUAL REALITY! | Tour and commentary | 4K | Gmod EP. 4 

(⚠️LONG COMMENT BEWARE⚠️) amazing video! i don't know how you only got 551 subscribes i really love the commentary , but i subscribe! Also I know you said for anyone to comment on the video somebody has been to the WTC Before 9/11. Well sadly i have not but i have some info! At 3:07 your in front of a sculpture called the cloud fortress and also the Ads on the windows are real pictures of the center stage events in the plaza. The sphere used to play Music around the fountain to add some peace i guess as well as spin every 40 or so minutes and at 5:39 is another sculpture called the ideogram Sculpture by James Rosati, also the 1993 Memorial is behind it just before the plaza entrance to the Hotel to remember the 6 people killed in the attack where a Ryder bomb rigged with explosives exploded in the garage and they say they they tried to collapse the north tower into the south tower. The seating area at 10:43 had massive indoor trees to mimic central park feel as like your in the park having a picnic. Also that was not a library but a Gift shop. Also the in the map, the creator forgot to add a place called ''Manhattan magic'' Which was a fake helicopter ride simulation going around NYC. In the There was a restaurant on the 107th floor called ''Windows on the world'' Which covered the whole floor which was a massive restaurant. Again the little fountain at 27:35 you walked passed was the 1993 bombing memorial There was also a police station and a day-care inside of 5 world trade center (Near 7 WTC) As well in 6 WTC Was a customs house and a shooting range!

This is the closest that we'll ever get to see the Twin Towers after 9/11. Thank you for sharing with us!

Love how respectful you were, no jokes or anything

This is amaszing. The Indoor Observation Deck in the South Tower had benches in front of the windows so you could sit and look out if you weren't ready for the roof. Each window you looked out of told you what you saw. Artists etchings were engraved in the windows. Going on the roof was like heaven. I worked at the WTC before 9/11. It was the best part of my life. I adored the windows. One day I had lunch and sat at the window near my desk. I leaned against one of the strong columns and looked out over the city. What looked like window seats were actually air vents. The "cafeteria" you describe was probably one of many rooms at Windows on the World restaurant. It was the Number One restaurant in America and had floors 106-107 to it. NO, North Tower had a RECEIVING ANTENNA, not a useless spire. New York, America and the world are not the same without them. They should have been rebuilt, period.

it still feels like that city skyline is missing something without them

I thought I'd mention this since you loved the Garry's Mod iteration. I'm currently working on a "Sequel" to this map for S&Box. Thanks to the brand new engine, it can handle a butt load more than what's included in the OG Garry's Mod map. I'm planning (so far) to have the entirety of the Trade Center complex, including the underground mall, interiors for WTC 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, and a lot more interiors for the main two Twins. It's going pretty well so far, as I'm typing this I'm working on detailing WTC 7's exterior and I must say, in a brand new modern Source 2 engine, they look phenomenal. It even has the 1:1 original mall music that played at the real Plaza thanks to the WTC Musak community! There's no planned finish date yet as I have a buttload to do, but when the time comes and if you have access to S&Box, I would love if you covered it on your channel so people know what the World Trade Center was truly like with no Source 1 Garry's Mod limitations. I'm really starting to be thankful S&Box has VR support so you can fully immerse yourself in the complex!

Man, I visited the towers in 1998 when I was 16. Considering what happened it makes me appreciate my brief time there even more. Thanks for bringing me back to that period of my life, great video! RIP to all lost on that tragic day ❤

Just imagined what they must’ve looked like in the winter, when it was snowing… what the view must’ve been like from those upper floors at night seeing a great panorama of city lights, or on blue rainy mornings, or during lighting storms… how those offices must’ve been flooded with golden light at sunset… how some people might’ve worked so late at times that they’d fall asleep in those cozy carpeted offices looking at the dark silhouettes of the windows with all those city lights outside… So much was lost 💔

6:26 Yeah, I cant for the life of me figure out why the creator added the siren ambient that not only keeps coming back if you type "stopsound" in the console, but progressively gets louder and louder if you leave it alone. It's like he wanted to remind me of that tragedy

I always heard of the open floor plan.. never expected the office areas to be this much of a maze. Makes the whole situation that much scarier. I just pictured in my brain cubicles on open floors

The symbols of America were taken down that morning, we may never forget that dark day. 💔🇺🇸

I used to live on Marriot hotel in between the towers. I went to reception but I went back to my room since I left my bag. Then the radio said something about the WTC on fire. I didn't believe it. So I went back down. I took a cab, and as I looked up, I saw that WTC 1 was on fire. I was in shock to know that both of them collapsed 1 hour later. I had to stay at an apartment since then. I will never forget that day. Thank you for making this video cause it truly is a beautiful place and this is the closest we can get to ever seeing them again. ❤

This is why Garry's mod is amazing you can make things that are impossible to experience in real life such as the Twin Towers, unfortunately, many people died on 9/11.

26:52 Got chills seeing the carport. I recently watched a 9/11 documentary where they are inside the lobby and they can hear people jumping from the upper floors hitting the carport roof. Same thing at 27:41 there a video of a guy in that black hotel across the street from the plaza who filmed someone land on the stage.

This is amazing! I've always wanted to see the orginal trade center, and even though this is as close as I'll get, it's still amazing!

This map is masterfully crafted. The WTC looks exactly like the photos and videos I’ve seen of it both before and during the attacks.

I don’t think it was possible to get to the highest floor using one elevator only. If I’m not mistaken you had to take one to the 78th floor and ftom there a second elevator to the 107th.

Wished that they never collapse

MAN, THIS IS BLOODY AWESOME, IN THAT WAY I WILL MEET FINALLY THE TOWER, MY LIFETIME DREAM!

There's a book based on 9/11 called ground zero I read it and it's a very good book

Hey man thanks for letting us experience a tour of the WTC. My dad had the chance that was like in 1998 he has the exact picture on top of the observation deck where you went. I was still in Grammar School at the time. And he also (thank god for his decision) had to refuse for a Doctor's Convention that will be held on at the WTC like a short of 2-3 days before the incident, and after that the remaining days (exactly on that day) he would had plans to do some touring in New York before he comes home (Philippines). My mom still has his small notepad of all of his To Do Lists and on that list was to tour (in order) the Empire State, WTC, Broadway, NYC China Town and last stop was Liberty Statue before boarding a plane back home. It was a good decision that he stayed home due a a VIP patient the he had to take care of. I remember that it was night at home because me and my mom we went all out studying every subjects that I have and after that before going to bed was reruns of the old Tom & Kerry shows. And I remember my dad sitting on his chair just eyes focused on the television it was on CNN and me being the ignorant and young just wanted to ask my share of the TV before bed. And my dad was all of a sudden "commanded" me to go to bed. As I went to my room my mom went out with a loud gasp and the next day I knew they didn't sleep because (to my understanding now) he was calling on the phone asking his colleagues how they were, where are they, they're all fine because after the convention almost everyone of his doctor friends boarded a plane back home just 2 days shy of the hijakings. But that's all I can remember. And the next day in my hometown (Philippines) every News Flash every Newspaper delivered to our home were these buildings on fire and people covered with ash and again I was just at 1st grade at that time I never knew the word Terrorism and even Death at that time. For me this incident really broaden or opened my eyes to such dangers.

Im not even american nore was i born before 2001 but damn those buildings are so amazing

This makes me sad, I never got to see them, though my parents did. The WTC really got me into architecture growing up and its amazing what virtual reality is allowing us to experience now.

Got quite emotional watching. What an amazing make this is. I loved every bit of it. Thanks for this.

When you said around the 14:00 minute mark that you were sweating from being afraid of heights, I feel you. My palms are sweating even though I know it’s only a video on RU-vid.

I have visited the towers before. I was born in the early 90’s and I can confirm that this map is not 100% accurate. The posters on the windows In the lobby are actual posters from it’s time. The Observation deck is missing a few things but seems fine. The windows on the world restaurant is not accurate at all but I assume a lot of effort was put into it.

Amazing. I visited in 1993 and it was very windy in the plaza, like insanely windy. We didn’t get to go inside but they were so huge I had to lean back and crane my neck to see the top.

I visited the observation deck in July 2001. It's pretty much spot on afaik. The offices in the north tower would be the HQ of Cantor Fitzgerald, everyone present that day died,3 family friends among them.

The way the towers were designed was all the office space was on the outside of the tower and the middle core was where all the stairs and elevators were. So In theory if you wanted you could have office space all around the tower if you wanted. It was all up to the companies renting the floors what they wanted to do with them.

Twin towers, desolate NYC streets, low exposure images. Congratulations you've successfully recreated a nightmare I've had haha

I was born 4 days after I have always wanted to see what it looked like it's breathe taking and so unreal

Wasnt been there irl just know from photos and videos: 1. The elevators looks very old and rusty. They were clean and elegant irl 2. Inside the towers in the lobbies there were black pretty ceramic on the walls. It is unclear whether it exists in the VR, in the video here u see just black walls

That red part you see right along the end of the escalator was a mall it connected throughout the entire complex and also had a Subway connection

I wish someone could make a POV of what it was like to be in the towers after the planes hit, and what it would have been like to be a jumper. Unfortunately I'm a morbid individual.

My brother this video is awesome. Can I ask where your accent is from? It sounds European

It’s an amazing video. Although it looks somewhat spooky empty of people.

This is amazing! Thank you for doing this. The observation deck levels are spot on. What you called the library near the cafe on the observation deck was the souvenir shop. Is there a link or somehow we can also tour this map? Thanks again.

I went on the roof of the South Tower as a child here in NYC back in 1994. I was thirteen years old when they were destroyed. I miss them everyday. #NeverForget911

It’s sad many of us will never get to experience the beauty of the World Trade Center. ❤

21:53 How easily you get lost on one floor of the trade center. I have to imagine that in real life it was just as difficult if not worse! Especially when most folks who work at specific floors are mainly used to taking the same exact routes to and from the offices they work in! When 9/11 happened folks had to get aquatinted to the building in a new way! Port Auth worker Rick Riscola did make sure tenants knew floor plans well to get out in case of fire etc! Unfortunately Rick went down with the buildings.❤

Thanks for posting this. I always wanted to visit the towers and never had the chance

They were huge...

is this exactly how the world trade center was? or was there creative liberty's taken? either way spooky stuff

Dude.... when you were standing at the edge, I almost had a panic attack, I would never go up there not in 1 million years 😂

Some minor things are incorrect like there's no fencing and the antenna still has a wiring on it like it did when it was being constructed in the 80s but nevertheless it's still a great building model

There was a lot more aliasing back in 2001. Kids these days don't know how good they have it.

Great video! Felt like I was right there! You should’ve went in the restaurant windows of the world. Maybe in another one?

Was on the roof of the south tower in April 2001. Pretty accurate depiction here. I remember taking the escalator out to the roof and just being amazed.

I’ve never been interested in that virtual reality world Zuckerberg want us to live in, but as someone that miss and appreciate the original World Trade Center, this makes me think that in the near future I’ll be able to visit the towers with very realistic views, that will be awesome.

I love how the collective hivemind of RU-vid viewers see a video of the Twin Towers in GMOD and click.

Thank you so much for this video. I'm 38 now and I've always wanted to visit new York for this reason and times square. Unfortunately on that tragic day 9/11/2001 I was in my first period class when the TV came on and showed those tragic events. RIP to all of the people who lost their lives to these senseless acts. 😢🙏❤

OMG !!! OUTSTANDING job !!! I always wanted to see how the WTC really looked like. Now I know... THANK U ! 🙂

Thank you for being so respectful ❤️ Very nice job, and this comment section didn’t dissapoint too

20:55 no it wasn’t 70s designing. As clients moved in and over time as things changed companies would have modified the floors/ spaces to their liking! Like the Cantor Fitzgerald office at the top with the huge pillars and cement statues etc. I think tenants after being given permission could paint and wallpaper anyway they wanted! I’m sure there was some limitations tho.

Not sure If anyone has corrected this - but I went up the 2 WTC south tower as a student 6 months before they were attacked and I remember to get to the viewing deck on the roof there wasn't and escalator like in this video. It was a narrow staircase inside the building that ran close to the outside windows. Still, it's spooky to see things in again VR. Oh and I believe their was a gift shop in that place where he called it a "library" - but I'm not 100% on that.

The hand rails on floor 107 the observation deck wouldn't have been as rusty and paint chipped as that, it would have been well maintained.

Thanks for sharing this, it was my first childhood dream since 1976 to stand on the roof of 2 world trade center, forever a dream unrealised but this is the closest i'll ever get so thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for this video, it felt like I was going to visit the twin towers with a very knowledgeable friend. Your enthusiasm for this place makes me so happy as I've been pretty interested in the twin towers, the love and respect you have for it is amazing. You certainly did justic to this amazing piece of engineering.

Wait. there were movable window washer elevators? I wonder why folks stuck above damage zone didn't get to use them.. I know one tower had 1 functioning escape stairs, the other had the roof access locked. AFAIK it was the south tower that had the working stairs. Kinda shocking that the window washers werent used for evacuations if they were on the towers. I know it's not the fastest elevator in the world, but lives could have been saved if they were used as lifeboats.

Very nice! I love how accurate this map is. Very detailed and very very big!

Rest In Peace to every civilian and emergency responders who passed away, and the people who developed diseases later from the dust and wreckage.

The observation deck is 100% accurate the Rooftop

This is pretty much exactly how I remember it

I never really saw that day as “an attack on America” (even though it was). I’ve always viewed it & felt it as as attack on humanity as a whole. Maybe because that was my 11-12yr old thought when I watched it unfolding on the news from Australia, I don’t know but I saw it as a global tragedy & threat that everybody far & wide needed to come together on. The location itself I always saw as just that, the location, of this attack on humanity. Thank you SO much for this!!! We truly are so blessed with todays technology that allows us to literally see back in time & places many could never travel to see. Whoever made this is extremely talented!!!

I wish there were offices on every floor and the desks could have computers on them...

I really appreciate that memorial speech

The Victims couldn't reach the Roof for Rescue because the door to it was ordered to remain Locked. I seen an interview with a first responder in a Helicopter with a Pilot who flew to the Top in hopes of someone being there to Rescue as he had every intention to try and Pluck some Survivors off the Roof. Alas there was No one there because they had No access because of a Locked door. You just know they tried to get to the Roof. This makes me Angry but I understand hindsight is 20/20 and this Attack couldn't have been imagined at the time.

This is absolutely amazing. Thanks so much for taking us on this tour.

that sure is one way to experiance it for yourself, with future visual enhancements it could feel like the real thing

Amazing video. I've always loved the towers. Were you walking while touring ?

And to give you some peace at mine all of those ads that you saw in the building were accurate they were used during the time of the attack

Those posters in the windows of thw lobby were the ones that were hanging on 9/11 which make this model summer 2001.

I wonder if the FD uses VR to study layouts of buildings nowadays. Pretty cool stuff. Last time anyone was in those buildings they were being told to get out immediately. This video is cool and eery at same time.

The fact that 9/11 is already 22 years ago is insane

The restaurants looked a tad bit different but overall it was good disregard one of the other comments I'm still watching this video as I'm typing it

I visited in 2003 and saw the broken sphere in Battery park. That resonated with me so much.

a major culture shift happened because of 9/11/01 that world is no longer rip to the innocent people who died that day

I wish this was done in Cyberpunk's red engine with RTX. it would be so beautiful.

6:30 that is very comparable to the ambient noise of NYC. lol

September 11th 2001 was a day I been waiting for couple of weeks the first date was August 31st 2001 but it was changed to this date and it was important to me because it was the day Mariah Carey album Glitter was being released. I was working at Walmart when it was open 24 hours back than. I was an over night self shock replace. I got the album when I got off right there at Walmart. I couldn't wait to get home to listen to it, when I got home I turn on the TV in the living room and the News was showing the World Trade Center with smoking coming out of it. The reports were that a small plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. I yell to my brother Tommy some idiot just flew into the World Trade Center. My brother was like no way.. I said how stupid do you have to be to fly into the biggest building in New York. As Tommy and me were watching another plane crashed into the other building my brother yelled oh my god, and I said he meant to do that, he flew that plane into the world Trade Center. As the day went on I kept watching and I remember my mom coming into my room saying it going to take them a long time to fix it. Just minutes after she said that the South Tower came down and I said we only have one tower now, I kept worry about the other building after that and than as I was watching the other tower came down. I was crying and with the album in my hand I threw it on the floor because I understand that it really didn't matter anymore. My dad told everyone to come into the living room and he pull out his bible we turn off all the TVs and he started reading Psalms starting with Chapter 1 and just read until it got dark and we all prayed.

"No one is afraid of heights they are afraid of falling down. No one is afraid of saying I love you, they're afraid of the answer" -Kurt Cobain.

I hate america but that's a really well made map i cant lie

anyone know the music playing around 24:00 ? Thanks in advance

Nice vid. This map could do with being ported from Source 2013 engine branch into Unreal 5 or another modern engine.

hey is this mod available for every vr set? I really wanna visit them even tho they aren't there anymore Rest In Peace to everyone who tragicly died there never forget..

Hi mate, I have a Meta Quest 2 and a PC with 1660ti GPU. Will I be able to run this like yourself? TIA! =)

America died with all those people and the twins that day

It's considered an because it was built after the building used as an antenna where the new one has no use and it was part of the building initially

How can you experience what you experience? What equipment is needed

Brilliant

Teary eyes… so so well done ❤ thank you

Peace and love

Gracias por hacer este vídeo amigo❤

Very nice tour dude

That looks incredible. I would love to be able to explore the WTC in VR. Thanks for uploading it for me to watch.

The accuracy is uncanny... Brilliant, in fact.

George Bush September 10th:

Thank you for keeping the memory alive…

Such an excellent video. A great tour of the mod itself, but commendable and heartfelt respect for the victims and what they went through that day. Perfectly done in my opinion, so that the mod can be appreciated for what it is. It is an opportunity to experience the towers from before that day not meant to be a simulation of that day. Yet that day is a reality that cannot be ignored. You handled it perfectly because through genuine sincerity and thoughtfulness. That ambience in the lobby is absolutely horrific though. It might be a good option to have, but should not be by default. As an option it should be more intense though. It's questionable to try to simulate the experience at the impact levels and above, but the lobby experience to some extent prior to either tower collapsing is another matter. For most survivors that is probably forever embedded into their memory. The lobby, mostly perfectly intact as normal except for the chaos (and I know some elevators blew out) left the intense siren activity outside probably forever attached to their memories of that day. That was their last experience of that lobby and probably their last moments of experiencing the towers as a permanent fixture in their city and their lives. Once they made it out and looked back and up, their world instantly and forever changed. I've seen footage of that very thing. Survivors leaving the building with their first reactions to what they saw when they looked back captured on camera. Just think about it. Using crowded stairs to go down no telling how many stories for most of them. Knowing something serious was going on and that there had been some sort of major explosion or whatever..., but the building was still standing, and there wasn't smoke below the impact. All of us know that the reality we were witnessing outside was beyond imagination. So try to imagine having such an intense and chaotic build up to that with a lobby they had passed through hundreds maybe thousands of times being overwhelmed by chaos and countless wailing sirens just before they witnessed for themselves and in person what we could hardly believe and contemplate from our television screens in our normal every day routine and environment..... So I think the siren activity as an ambient noise in the lobby is beyond distasteful and an inexcusable oversight. Yet, again, if it were an option, more intense siren activity in a soundtrack could possibly be one of the best ways to give an experience of that day that is moving without downplaying or making unavoidable light of what is not only unimaginable but indescribably unimaginable as in a level beyond imagining that we can't begin to imagine imaging. That's a twisty description, but think about it. What we experienced on television was beyond what we could imagine. Thus the reality that those who were there was beyond even that. Those at or above the impact zone was far beyond even that. No justice can be done. No amount of VR tech will ever approach their reality. That leaves the lobby experience as probably the best option to transport people to an authentic and life-changing experience about that day.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It was absolutely amazing being able to see. Not just the world trade center complex, but how lower Manhattan was before 911. Thank you so much for uploading this. I was never able to see the world trade center in person as I also was only 3 years old when 911 took place. Once again, thank you.❤
