More than twenty years after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, new footage of the Twin Towers’ collapse has come to light. Kei Sugimoto, the person who filmed the video, found it while going through some old tapes hidden away in his closet.
When he decided to share it, people were amazed that, even after 23 years, new perspectives of that unforgettable day are still being discovered. As one Reddit user commented, “It’s crazy that we’re still getting new footage after all these years.”
The footage was captured from the rooftop of a building at 64 St. Marks Place in New York City, showing a rare view of the towers collapsing from the north side. The video reveals the towers shrouded in thick smoke before they fall. One viewer described it as a “unique perspective not seen from the south or east.”
Since its release on July 23, 2023, the video has ignited a wave of discussions online. Many people were intrigued by how much unseen history might still be out there, waiting to be discovered. One user said, “It makes me wonder how much history is still tucked away in attics or basements, waiting to be discovered.”
By releasing this footage, Sugimoto has given the world a new visual memory of 9/11, adding another layer to our understanding of that day. His video reminds us of the deep and lasting impact of an event that forever changed the course of the 21st century.
