More than two decades after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, new footage of the Twin Towers’ collapse has surfaced, capturing attention worldwide. The video was discovered by Kei Sugimoto, who stumbled upon it while sifting through old tapes stored in his closet.
When he released the footage, people were astonished that, even 23 years later, unseen perspectives from that fateful day are still coming to light. As one Reddit user put it, “It’s crazy that we’re still getting new footage after all these years.”
The video was filmed from the rooftop of a building at 64 St. Marks Place in New York City. It provides a rare view of the towers collapsing from the north, a perspective not often seen. The footage shows the Twin Towers enveloped in thick clouds of smoke just before their final collapse. One viewer described it as “a unique perspective not seen from the south or east.”
Since its release on July 23, 2023, the footage has sparked widespread discussion across various online platforms. One user pondered, “It makes me wonder how much history is still tucked away in attics or basements, waiting to be discovered.”
By sharing this video, Sugimoto has added a new visual element to the collective memory of 9/11, reminding us of the event’s lasting impact and how it continues to shape our world today.
