I wonder how the surviving workers felt to see it destroyed

Imagine building these buildings for 6 years, only for it to be destroyed within one hour

I wish I was able to time travel back in time to see how pretty these towers were

I was a iron worker on both of those towers for 4 years. It was unfathomable how easily and quickly they came down after all of the time we worked on them. On windy days they would sway back and forth, nothing like it being up that high to experience that feeling.

I feel like every TV narrator prior to the 90s is the same person

It took 10 years to plan and plan then build but it took 120 minutes for it all to come down

I’m just glad that I got to see them in person before they were gone. It was 1995 on a school bus trip from Atlanta to various sites in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts; I guess we called it a “History Trip”. We were were planning on doing our actual Manhattan visit on the way back from Boston, but we stopped, for some leg stretching, at the 'Liberty Science Center', right across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan. It was a beautiful day and those buildings were just massive, looming overhead. They were magnificent! If we hadn’t have stopped there that day I never would have seen them, for as we came back through, for the 'New York City' leg of our journey, it was right when Category 4 Hurricane 'Opal' was creeping up the 'Gulf of Mexico' covering the entire eastern seaboard in heavy clouds. We went to the top of the 'Empire State Building' and saw absolutely nothing, it was like standing in a fog machine. So I’m grateful for that one beautiful sunny day, standing relatively close to where those towers stood, in the gleaming rays of light.

Does anyone else feel weird when you see them in a movie from pre-2001

Construction is always a dangerous and physical job, Can you imagine doing this type of work 8 to 10 hours a day, 5 to 6 sometimes 7 days a week. Construction workers never get consideration and respect as they should!!

They started planning the world trade center construction in 1943 and opened in 1973

At 2:09 the name Cathy is visible. I was an iron worker apprentice with Local 580 and Cathy was my girlfriend when I painted this. Today Cathy and I have been married 45 years.

My father was an iron worker on the trade center. I watched this video to maybe see if he was in it somewhere. He died in 2008. I was on the phone with him when the first tower came down. He was literally speechless like all of us. I know it went beyond just the tragedy for him and all the other workers who helped build it.

That’s incredibly sad, I’ve met construction workers and they take so much pride in the stuff they’ve built

All done with paper and pencil not a computer. Amazing

These guys were hanging off the edge and weren't even wearing any harnesses because occupational health and safety organizations weren't a thing back then.

Surprised their balls didn't bend the steel beams.

Two very elegant buildings. I visited the south tower in 1992 and was astonished. The turbo elevater lifted us up to the las t floor within one minute. Unbelievable! Sad what happened.
