Man Releases Terrifying Footage of the Collapse of the Twin Towers That Has Never Been Seen Before
New film of the collapse of the Twin Towers has been discovered, which comes more than twenty years after the attacks that took place on September 11, 2001. With the discovery of old recordings in his closet, Kei Sugimoto, the person who filmed the movie, has recently made it available to the public. “It’s crazy that we’re almost 23 years out and still getting new footage,” is a comment made by a member on Reddit.
The footage that was taken by Sugimoto from the rooftop of a building located at 64 St. Marks Place in New York City provides a one-of-a-kind perspective of the buildings succumbing to collapse from the north. The footage provides a “unique perspective not seen from the south or east,” as one user pointed out. The towers are visible in the film billowing with smoke before they fall.
The footage has been the subject of extensive online discussion ever since it was made available to the public on July 23, 2023. A user expressed his thoughts, “Makes me wonder how much history is being stored in people’s attics or basements waiting to be unearthed.”
Not only does Sugimoto’s decision to distribute this footage offer a fresh visual layer to the events of September 11, but it also helps to deepen the communal memory of an event that had a significant impact on the 21st century to come.
