More than 20 years after the heartbreaking events of September 11, 2001, new footage of the Twin Towers collapsing has come to light. Kei Sugimoto, the person who filmed this video, recently found it while sorting through old tapes stored away in his closet. When he decided to release the footage, people were amazed.
Even after 23 years, we’re still discovering new perspectives of that unforgettable day. One Reddit user captured this feeling, saying, “It’s crazy that we’re still getting new footage after all these years.”
The video, taken from the rooftop of a building at 64 St. Marks Place in New York City, shows a rare angle of the towers falling from the north. The footage reveals the Twin Towers slowly disappearing behind thick clouds of smoke before finally collapsing. 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 many conversations online. People are discussing how much history might still be hidden away. One user wondered, “It makes me think how much history is still tucked away in attics or basements, waiting to be discovered.”
By sharing this video, Sugimoto has given us a new piece of the 9/11 story, adding another layer to our collective memory of that day. His footage reminds us of how deeply that event has shaped our world and how its impact still resonates, even decades later.
