Thanks to the pilot, the authorities of NY and Trash-TV™ for realisation.
Early digital film, pre 9/11, late 90s/early 00s elevator sounding music… watching this video feels like seeing a different world.
Facts, like a universe where 9/11 never happened.
Man, those buildings were beautiful....
Ikr?!
They sure were.. That's the NYC I grew up in..
Terrrell did you ever go there?
@@Matli1804he grew up in NYC
Frrr
Its not just the buildings,its also the vibe, how everything was so chill before the war on terror
Unpopular opinion: pre 9/11 the World Trade Center was considered a classic tourist magnet to the city. Period. It garnered NO LOVE from New Yorkers except as a directional reference point on the street or maybe as an architectural highlight in a movie. After 9/11, however, a different narrative quickly arose .. .
I also thought of that possibility.
Well only Now the whole Complex was/is Very unique,
and is Even More idolized now because of discovering them in Movies and other things from Curious young folk and younger Generations ?
"Don't know what you had until it's Gone"
Yeah well they Chose to keep it Gone Now with building totally Different looking Towers etc.
If our president at the time knew how to take care of Homeland Security there would have been no attacks nothing is a magnet for terrorist other than the country itself
Most tourist hotspots are not loved by the locals so I understand.
@@lewisgriffin9684 how cute! You thought the Department of Homeland Security existed before November of 2002.
Cool... Still breaks my heart that we never replaced the Towers
One world trade center
@@keyshawnscott12 exactly nothing replaces the towers
@@NickDrawzComix I personally like the new one better, and I was born 12 years after 9/11
Not Replace but Restore and respect the Historical meaning.
Indeed we should have built Back Modern Twins Across from the Original Footprint Memorials so that we Truly could Move Forward while Carrying the Spirit of those who were Killed and why the center was an icon in the first place !
Although it is still possible to Do that but rebuild Modern Twins Some place else and for a different meaning But still Nodding to the Trade Center 🤷♂️☮️
@@APerson-ni1gb Yeah... I should have put "rebuild" or restore. They barely acknowledge the new Tower, as it barely appears in any pictures or videos from NYC unlike the old Twins. They mostly show the Empire State? Says a lot about how people feel...
I remember when I was a kid, we arrived from vacation and before we landed back at LaGuardia, we saw the skyline during the late '90s.
Wish I had a chance too see those twin towers at night.
Me too mate! So amazing. Can you imagine what it would be like today with all the technology.
@@dvchel Pretty much the same
@@soogitill From the outside definitely, but on the inside a lot of changes. Reinforced concrete core and columns, pressurized emergency staircases, adhesive anti-fire proof spray. Perhaps even a retractable bridge on top of their roofs to connect one another in case of an emergency.
When you re on the brooklynn birdge, they was impressive because you see many windows
I’d love to sit near the fountain at the late evening and drink some bear
This was New York i would live on ........ with the Twin Towers and people not hating each other's culture
I had known about these attacks since 1997.
@@johnshaw8228 what do you mean?
@@johnshaw8228 even if your telling the truth. You did nothing to try & atleast warn others let along authorities..
TheBje551 stupid Osama bin ladin
Me2 it's too much bs now
Classic NY skyline and orange street lights, a sight I so dearly miss, but had the opportunity to experience it.
Are they not orange now
@@markjackson5333 not anymore, mostly white LEDs
@@AluminumOxide hey do you know what the song is. Or the original film maker
This was the true essence of New York... 😪 now everything is gone😭😭
Most beautiful city. Such an amazing view of all the buildings at night, especially the Twin Towers.
What a stunning view of NY at night & to see the dazzling lights of the Twin Towers. Still commenting on how sad it was what happened to them & to the workers who worked in them. Oh, the Chrysler Bldg. is beautiful too & the Empire State.
Seeing this incredible footage of the city lit up at night with all those amazing buildings makes one realize that man can accomplish great things when working together. The greatness of this city and all the man-made creations that its made up of will always overshadow the destruction caused by a few individuals full of hate.
What's more foolish about those hateful individuals was that they were attacking and destroying landmarks that belonged to the human race as a whole. They attacked symbols of human might and our great potential- not just the USA's. So in essence, they destroyed something of their own.
@@Rescue-vn5dw Beautifully stated.
@@Rescue-vn5dw they were attacked because they were symbols of modernity and Western dominance. Their ideological world view despised everything that these buildings represented.
@@jordanmorris5827 Yeah, it was a terrible mistake for them to not realize that skyscrapers were actually a show of human modernity and dominance (among countless other creations and structures other than skyscrapers.) And unfortunately, as a result, 20 years later- many, many, middle eastern countries were carved up, chewed and spit out by NATO and US forces- And it has lead to power vacuums and overthrown leaders all over the region. We didn't want this. It was a mistake that is still biting those hateful fools to this day. Those extremists have only plunged their families and people into fighting a war they will never see because of their suicide attacks. They should have known better not to attack a super power like that..
@@Rescue-vn5dw well said, thank you for the thoughtful response
I Miss my Old NYC
The music is crazy 90’s
Wish I knew what it was called
@@tfmg8223same ☹️
Love the music. Certain parts of it actually sound like the song " Insane in the Membrane " by Cypress Hill.
And the music 😎
2001 the future is now the past. It feels like another time and place.
Beautiful. It's still hard to believe how precious photographs or videos of the World Trade Center would become. Excellent video.
Wow this video seems so recent! It's almost as if the towers are still there! This coming from someone who's never been to NYC.
Awesome. Thank you for sharing.
*WE WILL NEVER FORGET*
I can’t be the only one looking back in how erie and creepy the days before 9/11 was . I’m looking at these video just thinking to myself “so many people didn’t even know they weren’t going to be alive in a few days/hours” nobody of America knew the tragedy that was to come 😞
This was way before
Love this music
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing it. Though, the title has some people confused. Should say "A Manhattan night, before 9/11", instead of "Manhattan night before 9/11". Current title makes it sound like it was filmed the night before.
The music gives this video a nice New York feel, man. Nice 😎
This particular CZcams video montage of New York City reminds me of the opening intro to the Late Late Show with Tom Snyder in the early nineties.
NYC is so beautiful.
I love this city!
i hate the skyline 2015...........
the New York we love is being destroyed
+TheNewYorker7899 haha, we meet again.
Jack Unblock wtf??!?!?!
+TheNewYorker7899 hello
Sup
+TheNewYorker7899 i feel your pain :< i feel the same especially when walking through neighborhoods like Tribeca and the Village :
This is the NYC I grew up in
they were like human to me or something.i miss them and i never saw the inside.i hear the stories and remember the day and where i was when they were hit,i was 25.they seem almost larger than life.im a upstate new yorker not the big city but i care like they were mine.why i dont know.
@ 2:36 they should have rebuilt them in the opposite corners with the memorial gardens as they are now...
El más grande proyecto hecho por la Humanidad desde las Pirámides a mi parecer, Yamasaki logró volver algo simple en místico e inolvidable, su nombre se perdió pero su obra perduró.
¿Porque no intentarlo otra vez?
Thanks for the night flight, dude. Manhattan was a better place back then. Sucks now.
I hate to tell you this but New York is always been bad LOL😅😅😅
@@-Alexander2001MB Worked in 4 of the 5 (not S.I.) during Koch, Dinkins, Giuliani and Bloomberg. Was sketchy under Koch, stunk during Dinkins, Giuliani cleaned it all up, then Bloomberg made it only for the rich. Now it's a 3rd World shithole, or worse.
This is what I think of when I hear New York, not what it will become in 2020
@jellosaur2 ayo i got surprised when i read my own comment j now, man i got no clue wtf i was saying😭
@@tylerchristensen7434 basically it's got worse
@Jello 💜🤍 there was always a feeling something would go wrong
it calms me very much to see them 😌
Never seen them lit at night until this video. They were beautiful!
Lest We Forget. Respect from England. 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
I agree, Im not even from New York and I miss the Twin Towers alot so I can only image how people feel that are from there. They should have rebuilt them to show that we cannot be defeated, and to show that they cannot CHANGE the way New York will look. The Twin Towers were New York's symbol, the big city, Silverstein should of made those towers go right back up like HA HA, you cant change shit about us!
you sure? i though it was raining really bad the night before
It doesn't say "the night before . . ." It says "SHORTLY before". It could've been a few days before.
Omg, small youtube world. I love watching your police chases.
Nate Thegreat lol thanks
wwwy2000 It's not the night before, it's just a manhattan night before the Attacks of September 11.
wwwy2000 it does look overcast here
2:25 what we all came here to see.
Wow what an amazing experience that must have been, I'm in Ah!, just watching it, would've loved to have had the opportunity to have visited at that time
Will Definitely Become A Resident One Day . What A Genuinely Beautiful City .
Am I the only one who feels like the 90's had a certain warmth to it, whereas currently everything feels cold and impersonal. From our technology, to our shows and even people. It might be because everyone is striving for "perfection", which makes the world feel like a glossy, fake reality.
this my beautiful. new york city that I ♥soooo much:)
god bless American ♥ you with all of my heart
i still want the twin towers back :(
This video was uploaded closer to 9/11 than to today (October 2021). 🤯
Smooooth music - googled Space Tone but not finding any info on " Spacetone " musicians. Any suggestions ??
Me too
Same here
the last day of the best times in new york. the next day (9/11) is the beginning of the gloomy days of this city.
New York City at its prime.
Marvellous, why would anyone thumb down this .
REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS MAKE NEW YORK NOMARL PLS
yeah they put some new buildings there but i still want the old twin towers back
Beautiful, its like a sea of jewls! Gutted about the twin towers.
i wish I could go back in time, and just tell everyone to evacuate right before the crash.... fuck.
The Morning after the end of the world as we know it went to hell. Music is crap, Movies a Remakes, WARS WAR, The economies of the world are in trouble.
N its gotten worse 2020 beg of end
I know i was born in the mid 90s i even being a kid i saw all that proces. It felt like before 9.11 humanity were very optimistic about having a bright future.
Now on 2020 i think we are facing a similar fate.
Getting a strong Streets of Rage vibe 👍
What a great video and view.
Beautiful
Beautiful New York from my childhood.
The final huge positive event, before the world changed forever was the 30th Anniversary of Michael Jackson in Madison Square Gardens. It was a night to remember. Than we woke up hoping that 9/11 was actually a nightmare.Sadly it was a very horrible reality.
Also i feel like the one tower is not enough, even though they did their best.
🔥
Chrysler, Empire State & WTC (1973-2001)
Imagine if 9/11 happened at night. Less death, also there would be a huge dark spot in Lower Manhattan bc of the power outage. It would look oddly strange
actually a lot more people would've died , because the towers in the morning were only half as populated as they d get during the day (by night there would be about maybe 15k people in there); it was night so it would ve been harder to escape and it would ve taken a much longer time to make the way down...and for rescue to come....also also it probably would ve gone less noticed that the buildings were fallin hence half the people below wouldnt have probably had the time to run away from the cloud.
@@blissdelpopolo6322 I think your right
What is the name of this song?
Music??? Please
Second most beautiful city in the country after my hometown of Hickok, Kansas
Love the music. Where can I buy it?
Love to know the music
What this does not tell you is that this same night I was on the phone anonymously to a law number in Fort Pierce, Florida. I was warning of major terrorist event coming "very soon." That was the last pre 9-11 warning of about 130 people I had told about these attacks beginning in September of 1997.
Looks wonderful.😁
22 years ago today the towers fell and lives ended.God bless everyone ♥️
The city that never sleeps
The title is misleading because its not the up loaders video. So he or she could of just said its a few days before just for views when it could be years before
Best memory
Great video!...loved seeing the twin towers! Awesome music!
Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing
The World Trade Center (R.I.P. 1973-2001) had a unique beauty when lit up at night!
The new buildings look so over the top and shit. The port authority should have retaken control over the complex and rebuilt the originals.
cries
Extremely sad
Bro, the streets lights, all of them was orange tone, now you can see the difference, all streets lights are white led, is other vibe very different, nobody realize that.
The empire state building with the colours of mexico?
this looks like GTA IV
Trash TV this isn't your vid so how come your saying its few days before 911 lol when it could be way before
I miss those towers!
Beautiful Towers Before 11/09
Dont be pissed. The gov't decided to go with a different more modern building to show how America has advanced in the meantime, and we came back stronger, with 3 buildings now.
Getting GTA vibes from this video
This could not have been a few days before 9/11, since at about 45-50 seconds you can clearly see Wolman rink lit up in Central Park
When do you think it was?
Did you ever see the cars at 0:00 going backwards? Reversed footage lol
Who Watching in 9/11/2018?
damnnnn
Wonder when this was filmed
Is that the West 30th Street heliport they took off from?
Looks like they In Queens or something because the empire building is in the back
Before all of those ugly skinny buildings uptown ruinged the skyline.
I'm srry but really pisses me off that we didn't rebuild em smh
Utterly sad
Are the pools in the exact same spot as where they stood or further up
Exact same spot duh 😂
Duh? Why so kid. You googled it just to try sound smart @@flickzbynick
@@markjackson5333 no i didnt fuck head
@@markjackson5333 i never googled anything lol, we all know that. But ur dumdum doesn’t 🤣
@@flickzbynickok kid 😂
wasn't it raining on the night before 9/11??
this was a few days before so maybe sept 7th.
I think this is actually Christmas 2000
As nice as that would have been I think it would have been in poor taste. I mean, family members would see the new towers as a reminder of who they lost on 9/11. Of course, this is just my opinion and I could be wrong.
