I appreciate the effort that goes into making these videos. I’ve been watching since 2018 and the quality keeps improving 🤝

[BrandonJXN]

As a skyscraper nerd, I have been a fan of this channel for years. I love how the quality of the content has not only improved but evolved. B1M is truly a treasure.

[Mr-DNA_]

The documentaries on this channel are reaching a level quality I didn't know was possible.

How versatile is a foundation that has not been built on? Will the foundation be good forever? Does it constrain the building that can be built on top of it?

[dapeach]

I think redesigning the lower levels is crucial and I'm glad they're doing it. But topping it with slanted diamonds would be SO much cooler than flat roofs

As a New Yorker, I can’t tell you how disappointed I am that reconstruction on this site is still incomplete.😬😬😬

[elgreco]

Even as a New Yorker who was an adult when 9/11 happened I had no idea the status of the WTC unfinished buildings. Thank you for shedding a light on this story. The level of detail and journalism you put into your videos is paramount.

Nothing can top the original trade centers. You could literally see them from anywhere in New York and I wish they would make these two towers the same way so that you could see them from all over the place in New York City.

The original complex was the absolute best and beautiful inside and out it’s so heartbreaking it’s all gone now

[sonderment]

i loved the original design of 2WTC, the diamonds look so sick.

[TheJojo]

Fascinating complex current topic + captivating footage + British accent + Fred Mills in a tight black tee shirt + excellent script + Fred Mills’ biceps = a superb video.

[DanteTimberwolf]

Personally I feel like the diamond is the best, it compliments 1wtc well. It's striking and pops out of the skyline in a similar way I think the twin towers did.
It's kinda sad that construction on this site is still unfinished after 17 years. I wasn't around when the original towers were destroyed, but I still feel like it's important that this site is completely rebuilt.

[deronn.j]

As a kid, I'd always open Google earth and explore New York. I'd always follow the news on the reconstruction of the WTCs. I still do actually, sometimes. Thank you B1M for keeping on fueling my love of New York and skyscrapers.

I remember researching the WTC site as a kid around 10-11 years ago. Nice to see 1WTC is now complete. Crazy to think neither 2WTC or 5WTC haven't even left the ground yet.

[S.E.C-R]

Will Silverstein even live long enough to see this finished…

[FERaptor]

Great show. It's very professional and what's great is that you get information from different sources all of which are genuine.

[clarkdowdall]

Your channel is second to none for content like this. The good work doesn’t go unnoticed!

[johann.desouza]

It is a difficult situation to be in. Apart from these 4 stages, the WTC also faces the public eye. We're talking about buildings being built on the sites of pain, horror and sorrow. Anything less than perfect can be disastrous and that's not a good position for anyone to find themselves in.

[silvertbird]

These programs are as informative as they are professionally produced - and by a content creator who looks like a special forces officer. I’ve learned a great deal about a subject I knew little about but have always found fascinating.

You thought you could make a whole documentary, put it on YouTube for free, and we wouldn't notice?

Wrong, we noticed and this is a phenomenal research project. Thank you for all the hard work in bringing us these updates—earned a subscriber!
