Did you get to see or visit them before they went down?

>>91839880

yes. they were as boring as nyc can be, and that's pretty damn boring.

Yes, when I was 1.

My parents said they took me to the top too.

>>91839880
Stood on the observation deck in 1997.

>>91839880
Yeah, saw them in the early 1980s when I was a kid. First visit I got out of visiting them and made my parents go without me. Second NYC visit I kind of had to give in, so I actually went up in one of them with my parents.

I vaguely remember Windows On The World. Very 70s decor, lots of brown and gold. I was a shy kid, so I remember the carpet really well, kek. I was always staring at my feet back then to avoid talking to people. I was also afraid of heights so I was seriously uncomfy the whole time. Couldn't wait to get the fuck out of there, I mean it was really bothering me.

Now I wonder if my extreme unease was just all about the height thing, or if I was picking up on something spookier. I was kind of a spooky kid and would get hunches about people or whatever that would come true.

I don't recall the food at all. Vaguely picturing the waiter, a tall young guy with brown hair, very nice. I was just so happy to get back out on the street again. Looking back up at them--your pic reminds me of that feel so strongly--I just thought they were such ugly, foreboding buildings.

>>91840733
you need to be 18+ to post on 4chan

Went there in 99 with my dad. I was pretty high up looking down behind the glass seeing how the cars looked like little ants. Can't help but think if there were any kids like me that passed.

>>91839880
I didn't even know it happened that day. I was still an elementary schooler and no one thought it was important enough to tell me.

>>91839880
I visited the twin towers twice in the 90's and remember 9/11 happening live, very vividly.

They were the most imposing thing I've ever seen in person. There was an understated elegance about them that would draw you in, like you were trying to decipher some hidden meaning to it all. The more you looked, the more overwhelming it became. That was only topped by the sheer, unyielding size that boggled the mind. Other large towers have focal points, like the Burj. All the decks on the Burj break up the shape/pattern of the building and give it scale.

Not the Twin Towers. They were so large and unrelenting to witness, one was inspiring but two was overwhelming. They were so big, so uniform, that it was impossible for your mind to focus on any one part of it while looking at them from the bottom. I've seen the Burj, and I've seen the Twin Towers. The Twin Towers by far were the more impressive of the two. The Burj looks like a fucking space needle. The Twins were Titans standing guard over New York.

They were the most powerful monuments I've ever seen in my life, nothing else comes close. Those buildings housed a lot of fond memories for me. Luckily, the memories live on even in the absence of the structures.

Saw them from the highway as my family drove up to MA to visit my grandparents.

>>91842680
Awwwwww

Yeah stood in between them and then went to the ground floor of one of them. Too long of a wait to get to the top so we said screw it.

>>91841796
I didn't personally like the buildings, but this is a hell of a good description of them. They did have an overpowering aura and presence. There's literally nothing else like them.

>>91839880

I went to a trip to NYC 9 months before the attacks. I remember the underground mall / subway connect... also we never made it to the top because the line was fucking long as fuck
>next time

I actually said that

>next time im in NYC ill go to the top

kek.

>>91839880
Yes, i was part of the Mossad team that rigged them with explosives.

Didn't even knew these existed before they collapsed.

Pretty boring little towers compared to the Statue of Liberty or Empire State Building.

>>91841796

Well spoken. The towers were a testament to America's might. Once they went down, we went down. And now I have to live in a shriveled up, cucked nation that's a shadow of its former glory.

Feels bad man.

>>91845041
After a while tallest isn't all that. Like for instance the top of the Empire State Building is fun, but it's funner to go higher. That bigass thing they have in Dubai is I guess worth it just to say you did it, but already so tall it doesn't matter.

Spend your money better and hit up national parks with canyons. That'll really put the fear into you very bigly.

Is this a thing now?

I was dragged to a Dark Shadows convention there once. Never watched the show had no idea who these "stars" were. The big event was a group panel that packed the auditorium with the cast that showed up,and I cringed in my seat watching rabid superfans confessing their love for the show,for the cast,for the glorious impact it made in their lives,to the point of getting teary-eyed. A fucking vampire soap opera from the 1970s.

They had signings with other celebrities from that time,too. Bob Denver,in his red shirt and white sailor's cap,Gilligan himself. The most miserable son of a bitch I ever met. Had a puss on him like he just finished a shit sandwich and was expected to go for seconds. Can't blame him,though...the character destroyed his career,no one took him seriously as an actor after that. He hated being there,hated every asshole willing to shove a $20 at him to sign stuff,hated an unjust universe. I spoke with him,briefly, and pointed out that Gilligan's island will be one of Mankind's legacies we will take with us when we colonize the stars...

He frowned less,but might have been from slight nausea from the thought...

I didn't know the towers only stood for a year, or that they only accepted visitors the last year they stood.

>>91841796
>>91842706

They should have rebuilt the tower exactly like they were before, as if nothing ever happened. It would have been an hell more powerful statement than whatever the current tower is trying to symbolize.

>>91847896
Very much this. The symbolism of it and how quickly it were rebuilt would have been enormous.

Instead, Russia put up a 9/11 memorial before we could even begin to agree on what to do. lol Russia; they know how to play the game.

>>91839880
I got to work in them. Fortunately, my rabbi called and asked me to stay home that day.

The freedom tower doesn't fit with the architecture of NYC honestly, it looks more like those Chink skyscrapers

>>91848474
Seriously this. The first time I saw it I was like what the fuck is that am I in singapore or something?

It's an insult on top of injury.

>>91847896
You would never be able to rent that space to anyone knowing 1 accellerant fire can level the buildings in minutes.

>>91840501
If that's as deep as they dug, that foundation doesn't look all that secure. I wonder if the foundations got rekt by the jet fuel?

>>91839880

The only thing I like about the new tower is that if you look at a certain face of the building from below it looks like it goes up into space

>>91839880
Was August 2001, and was in the city.

Was asked by my dad whether we wanted to go up the WTC or the Empire State. We picked the latter.

I somewhat regret that decision...

>>91849458
Shit I meant to reply to >>91841796

Not to say your post wasn't also good, an-non~

>>91848739
I personally saw the empty foundations after they were cleared of all debris during the building of the freedom tower (think it was around 2008).

That fucking hole in the ground, that shit was like 8 stories+ deep.

Those empty foundations have since been filled with concrete. made into a "pool" and are currently the 9/11 memorial.

From what I saw, I don't think there was any chance of rebuilding towers on those foundations without literally ripping everything out and starting fresh (a multi billion dollar endeavor)

>>91840628

Yes they built that extra land there from the excavation materials so they could build the World Financial Center.

Yes, In the mid 90s. I have some video footage on VHS that I need to upload to YouTube still.

>>91841796
This guy gets it. And nothing hit harder than coming in over the GWB and seeing that huge gaping hole in the skyline for the first time. It was like Colossus had fallen, and your very identity had been taken.

>>91849839
I did that, too, some years later with a bunch of college pals. It was weird because so much time and space had separated it from us, and the whole thing was underwhelming. But one of us had the brilliant idea to go find the nearest pizza joint for ny pizza and we wound up telling stories about it to each other to sort of agree on the mutual meaning about it.

Met up with one of them just the other year. Didn't take long before it came up and we agreed the official story is bunk.

It was equally disorientating looking down from the top... seeing all those tiny yellow dots, the NYC cabs...

I would only add to your perfect description here, that to look up along the wall... those verticle lines created this optical illusion that no matter how hard you tried, looked away, looked back, shook your head, concentrated... didn't matter, they were so large that they appeard to be bowing outward over your head, they didn't appear to be straight verticle. Something that photos and verbal descriptions just really can't convey about them... they were something that you simply had to see in person.

I remember stumbling around work on September 11 like a fucking zombie. Everyone kept asking me if I was okay, I must have been kind of pallid. That was a fucked up day yip yip.

I was there in 99 i didnt like the top deck they had an elevated plateau in the middle to stand on and then a lower level around it filled with barb wired and razor type fences so you could not come close to the edge it did not felt comphy at all. The view was fun you could see small planes flying over the river at the same height, i liked the indoor deck that was a floor down it had windows from top to bot giving you that scary feel if you came to close to the edge.

I liked the empire state building more the deck had a classic style and a normal type fence with no barbwire like a garden fence and a better view as you are looking down into lower manhattan

>>91839880
Nope, I was in 6th grade music class, they told us to sit down and turned on the TV.
I never saw them before that since those early years were internet free (AOL doesn't count, it was garbage). I still remember how much I didn't care at that moment. I was too young to understand what was happening.

I was on the front row and watching how he was acting though and thought I should soak in how an adult was feeling on this situation. He was sad for his country.

I was six years old when 9/11 happened. My family visited the WTC the last few days of August, 2001, a few days before I had to go back to school.
I honestly have really clear memory of it and an even clearer memory of 9/11. I'm glad I got to visit them, because >>91841796 and >>91852631 are absolutely right about how it felt to be near/in those buildings.

Their beauty was hidden. From afar they just looked like featureless blocks. But when you were closer you could see their elegance, trimmed edges, polished metal exterior, pointed Arab-style arches. Then there was the interior that was designed to make occupants feel safe with arrow windows so you didn't feel like you were in any danger. All the architect knowing what he was building.
My family again went back to that place sometime in 2002 when the cleanup was still going on. Haven't been down to that area since then and not sure I ever want to go back. If not for some small changes of events, I -would- have lost my father and grandfather in 2001. Instead one of my friends lost his father. That thought terrifies me knowing how a tiny change can have a huge effect.

yep. my cousin was visiting and we went with dad to the top. when you got off the elevator theyd take a photo of you in front of one of those NYC skyline caricatures. I remember it was foggy/cloudy that day though, so you couldnt see much. still neat though. I was really young though so unfortunately I dont remember it too well these days.

Yes a year or so before I was a courier and made a delivery from Boston to One WTC across the street toward the River.. it shook me to think of how many hard working schlubs just like me were killed doing just what I had done that day...

>>91867866
My father was down there the afternoon of the 11th and helping dig through the pile. He saved a few pieces of marble. It not worth anything and there's no way to tell where it was, but he wanted to keep a part of the buildings.

>>91854044
Zoom in on the flag, click on the flag. Download the flag in another tab. I literally just did that.

Here's some massive photo albums of the towers and the interiors. Probably going to waste a bunch of my time going through them. Some of these photos are from 9/11, specifically one of the first images being looking outside and seeing fluttering papers. I don't think many photos were taken from the inside that day.

this, so much this. 9/11 marked the end of America as the top superpower. and we spent the rest of the decade in freefall.

on the bright side, the new tower is a whole lot better than half of the proposed designs. it has echoes of the north tower, which i appreciate.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN LIKE WITH A BIG LEAGUE CHEW?

>>91843127
it's something about Creation

I saw them many times. I visited the top of Tower 1 as a child, before Tower 2 was even finished. At the time there wasn't even a protective rail on top, only a 2-foot high steel bar running around the sidewalk that circled the top of the building about 2 feet above the roof and 5 feet from the edge.

I also stopped by several times in life just to look up at them. To stand right at the bottom of one of them and look straight up the wall was a very humbling experience. SO much concrete rising so high, incredible. And a lot of people don't realize how big their circumference was, they were absolutely monstrous structures. There may have been some taller buildings in the world but for pure mass, they had to be the biggest by far. It was like being at the feet of God.

>>91852631
Something about huge structures makes your view of them warped. I've played an amateur game of Aussies rules on >pic related as it was filling up for a professional match. Standing on either side of the stadium was surreal. It didn't even feel circular, it felt like a giant C shaped ground. It was so insane to play the first quarter of the game with the seats nearly empty, the to walk out after a 15 minute break with the seats 3/4 full. People were getting into out game and their chanting was hypnotic. The stadium was full at the end of out game. To be surrounded by so many people and not be able to focus on a single one was amazing. I only wish I was good enough to play professionally just to experience that again. Even for one game.

I don't mind the design of the new WTC because, as you said, it does echo the original in some way. But I wish they built two. One with the spire and one without.
Whenever I see the lone tower I just think something next to it is missing.

In 1993 the FBI failed it trying to set up a truck bombing. The patsy fucked it up and couldn't park the bomb truck in the right place.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0Y4Qaap6SM

The FBI has been part of most terrorist events in the last few decades, as a university study once found.

I was at them a little over a month before they went down.

Yeah, I was there three months before the attacks. Rode the elevator up to the top, which was pretty neat actually. Your ears pop on the ride up.

At the top was a gift-shop, a simulator attraction about a helicopter ride around NYC. The whole area is windowed so you can see everything around you. Then there's a staircase you can take up to the roof which had a really fucking big fence surrounding it to prevent basejumpers or suicidal idiots.

Luckily I have the agility of a cat and was able to dodge the incoming plane.

>>91869543
Whoa, I didn't even know about that.

9/11 never actually happened, the towers are still there.

I didn't go inside but I visited them that year. My dad's been going to the latin alternative music conference in nyc since it started and he took my brother and me even though we were small children at the time.

Begged my grandparents to bring me there. (Was interested in architecture from a very young age)
They finally book a room at Marriott next to the south tower for 9/15.
Watched the second plane hit on TV live (daycare lady wasn't very attentive)
Pretty bummed but didn't expect jet fuel to melt steel beams.

I went to the WTC as part of a school trip in the 8th grade (year 2000). They wanted us to see what a big company was like, so we had a meeting in the offices of Morgan Stanley-Dean Witter (south tower, I think). Very fancy executive office very high up. We all had to wear suits to this event. They served lunch and were very accommodating.
It was an interesting trip.

Those photos that Anon posted are not from 9/11. There were a few unoccupied floors in one one of the towers, around level 90, that were given to art students. Most of the furnishings from the previous tenant were removed, others were throw about, broken, etc. for photographs.

Saw them in April 2001 with my parents when I was 8. Remember walking by them and being amazed at how massive they were

When I was only a couple years old we went to the World Trade Center. Don't have any real memory of it but I've seen home videos of that trip. Really emotional to watch.

We pull it out once in awhile as a family, nobody usually walks away with a dry eye.

>>91875119
You misremember. Trump did actually want to put something back up, like anybody from the area would have wanted to.

You know what I did in fact smell the air. The dust blotted out the light, and I was flying our flag off my car at the time. Humans have long memories.

I was in there when they went down. I jumped from one tower to the next to using a steel beam that had melted partially across to form a plank. I thought I made it to safety after jumping from the 99th floor and smashing through the window of the 70th floor when the 2nd plane hit the tower I was now in.
I started running down the stairs but the Saudis emerged from the crashed plane and started shooting everyone in the office. I managed to escape using a rolling vending machine as cover but fell down the stairs with it. Soon after the building collapsed.
I fell through the floor with the vending machine over me but landed on a couch in the office below me. I then fell through the rest of the building but the couch protected my landing.
I blacked out for a bit, when I came to I could hear rescue efforts above me. I knew I just had to stay alive for what felt like minutes, but must have turned to days because I was starving to the point of death. That's when I felt a drop on my forehead.
The vending machine had been crushed by everything above it and the blood from all the bodies in the building had mixed with the snacks turning it into something I could consume. So I tilted my head up slightly to pour the liquid to my mouth. As it passed over my eyes I batted them to filter out the glass shards with my lashes. This unfortunately has left me patartially blind. The mixture tasted like cheetos and pennies. I have recently had children and they cry when they see cheetos or pennies so I may have passed the PTSD onto them
I will never forget the 7 million that died that day. And Americans can never let Saudi Arabia forget either.

Yep, was up there with a friend who lived in NYC in 90something. We sat on the steps in the observation deck for about half an hour just before they closed till they came 'Would you please leave'. Lasting impressions: a) A really nice view. b) New Yorkers have a way of saying please combined with super aggressive body language. c) that super cheap carpet, I mean come on, you're calling yourself the world center of X and you have that super cheap throwaway carpet that's costs like 20% and lasts 10% of a decent one..

Dude most people on here were probably not born during 9/11.

I was 9 when it happened in elementary school.
