Yes we definitely want a part 2 without a doubt
I like your shows, my thanks. But I will have to ask the question after the first half of this -- what is inside? Much outside, the building they are on, who built it, and what the spire looks like. What's inside?
My thought too. hard to find pictures of many of them on the interior. but also quite clickbaity should be called most intresting spires in New York instead.
as a civil engineering student who has always been intrested in history I quite enjoy these videos
Ryan Socash - always a Win! Im a huge Enthusiast when it comes to NYC, hope I'll make it (to) there some Day.
But that RCA-Buildung was News for me - Stunner! Regards from out of Dschermany, Frank
I only knew of the Empire State collision; knew nothing of the 40 Wall St. event. Great job, and thanks for the schoolin'.
Crazy how both of those are still standing
Thank you for lowering the volume on your opening music.
Again, great narration and information. A B-25 bomber also crashed into the Empire State Building on July 28, 1945, on the north side of the building. Will have coffee at the ready for part two.
Yeah part 2 with woolworth and times
More Art Deco to the people! ✊🏻
Keep making videos like this! 👍🏻
Great show today 🐾🐾🦉🤠
Definitely part II
Part 2 would be very welcome and appreciated! New Subscriber!
What do you think Ryan!?!? We love your history- YES- we want part 2
Your videos are always great, and you don't narrate too fast like so many others do.
Oh yes! Part 2, please! ☮️
You can do a part 3 so many overlooked gems in New York I think out of all the new supertalls designed in the past 10 years I would have to say the Brooklyn tower at 9 dekalb ave. They saved the dime savings bank built in 1910 at added a art-deco look to that 1000 ft. Tower thanks love your videos
Don’t forget the Chanin building diagonally across the street from the Chrysler building. On the corner of 42nd street and Lexington Avenue.
I'd like to see a part 2.
I saw on PBS show that the Chrysler building had a toilet in the very top that sink to wash his hands was a few steps down.. I love to know know if that is true
It is true

Part 2 plz.
For a video about what's inside the spires you spend maybe 20 seconds on that and several minutes on it's exterior and history. Wish we got to see more of the goods. Lol.
Part 2.
3:08 Oh that is not "neon signage" "H&M" are internally illuminated by LEDs channel letters.
Thank you for having a REAL glass neon sign instead of the LED look-a-like "neon sign".
By the way, I hope that didn't come from China.
Sprinted to the comments to say this. It would seem a skyscraper CAN take a plane crashing into it and stay standing...hmm.
The title is "What's Inside the Spires." The video is just shots of the outsides. Quite disappointed.
Ummm, no actual views from inside each spire🤷🏼♂️
Look son, I hate journalists with their English degrees and absolutely no other knowledge of science, critical thought and generally, the real world but; The word is 'Instigated' not, 'Instituted'.
1:58 an ad for CCP development and one for Planned Parenthood... how perfectly captured NYC has become. 😒
