More than twenty years after the terrible events of September 11, 2001, a new video of the Twin Towers’ collapse has been discovered. Kei Sugimoto, the person who filmed it, recently found the footage while digging through some old tapes that had been sitting in his closet for years.
When he decided to release the video, people were stunned to see that, even after 23 years, there are still new angles and perspectives of that day coming to light. One Reddit user expressed disbelief, saying, “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. It offers a rare look at the towers collapsing from the north, a view that hasn’t been widely seen before. The video shows the Twin Towers covered in thick smoke before they fall, providing what one viewer called “a unique perspective not seen from the south or east.”
Since the footage was released on July 23, 2023, it has sparked a lot of discussions online. Many people have been talking about it, wondering what other parts of history might still be hidden away. “It makes me wonder,” one user wrote, “how much history is still tucked away in attics or basements, waiting to be discovered.”
Sugimoto’s choice to share this footage adds a new visual chapter to the story of 9/11, reminding everyone of the deep, lasting impact of an event that changed the world forever. His video brings back the memories and
emotions of that day, showing how history continues to reveal itself, piece by piece, even decades later.
