Pre-9/11 Visit to World Trade Center

This is a compilation of footage from our family visit to the World Trade Center. All of these clips were filmed on July 5th 2001, just 2 months before the attacks of 9/11.

The beginning of the film is from a double decker tour bus through NYC. One of the stops was at the World Trade Center and we decided to get off. We bought tickets to the observatory at the top of the South Tower.

There are then some shots looking outside the windows of the South Tower from one of the top floors. The North Tower is prominent in this footage and at one point you can see guests dining in the Windows on the World Restaurant.

There is then a shot from one of the upper stories of the South Tower where there were coin operated binoculars to view the city. Following this is footage from the observatory deck. In one now eerie moment, a passenger airliner is pointed out close to the tower and filmed.

This was a very beautiful and calm day in New York City. Very different from how things would be just 2 months later.

This was filmed on a JVC GR-DVF31U camera. I captured the video from the camera using a Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR.
