This is not my video. This is from a man from Argentina who lived in NYC from 1986 - 2006, the video shows film from 1988 to 2000 showing the towers, those who frequented the financial district during that era will see some familiar things, including an older, short + skinny off the boat Irish man(in his 50s at the time in this was recorded in the early - late 1990s) who worked as a doorman and would frequently do the "Irish River Dance" in front of the towers in the morning and evening "rush" to try to put a smile on workers faces, it was somewhat of a minor attraction(or distraction) for those who worked in the building.
I thoroughly enjoyed the video and thought some of you would do, it brings back great memories of the towers and thought others would as well.
thank you for the video. definitely a blast from the past, always loved chillin' out in front the towers on lunch break(i worked with my uncles carpentry business from the '87 - '96 and most of our business was in the wall street area...
Great video, sometimes I wish there was a way we could teleport back to that time, even if just for a few minutes. Miss those towers, miss the people I knew who died in horrible ways..
it's just so weird how terrorist highjackers
actually pulled that stuff off. it's slightly
unbelievable. something still seems very
fishy about 911 to me.
how do two buildings just fall down in
controlled implosions like that in such
a chaotic situation?
The saddest video I saw was a guy who posted his amateur video of eating in the Windows of the World restaurant, it was Sunday, September 9 , 2001. The saddest part was seeing the waiters several of whom likely died that day.
"We were in NYC for the MTV Music awards, and the Michael Jackson TV special (at MSG). We left a couple hours after this was shot on 9/9/2001. Scary to think that less than 48 hours later- this wasn't there anymore, and all of our lives changed. Kinda surreal to see people enjoying boating and the last days of Summer below. Everything is so calm. I shot this while eating lunch with my wife at the Windows on the World restaurant in the North Tower. PROOF that this was on 9/9/01!!! http://superboat.com/2011/03/superboa... That is the boat race happening in the harbor on 9/9/01. You can see that in the footage."
Wish it never happened. I remember all of the random people who used to congregate outside in the shadows of the towers, you would meet people from all walks of life within minutes. Ironic how the video shows the giant "peace on earth" sign... This makes me even dislike the new lone tower more... Miss those days...
He has some great amateur footage of the towers.
I agree with the person who mentioned the waiters, wonder how many of the ones in this video perished.
