More than two decades after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, new footage of the Twin Towers’ collapse has emerged. Kei Sugimoto, the individual who filmed the video, recently discovered it while sorting through old tapes in his closet.
Upon releasing it, many viewers were struck by the fact that even after 23 years, previously unseen perspectives of that day continue to surface. As one Reddit user remarked, “It’s incredible that we’re still finding new footage after all these years.” WATCH VIDEO BELOW
The video, captured from the rooftop of a building at 64 St. Marks Place in New York City, offers a rare view of the towers collapsing from the north. The footage shows the towers engulfed in smoke before their eventual collapse, providing a perspective that one viewer described as “unique and not seen from the south or east.”
Since its release on July 23, 2023, the footage has sparked extensive discussion online. One user reflected, “It makes me wonder how much history is still tucked away in attics or basements, waiting to be uncovered.” WATCH VIDEO BELOW
Sugimoto’s decision to share the video adds a new visual layer to the collective memory of 9/11, reinforcing the lasting impact of an event that shaped the course of the 21st century. WATCH VIDEO BELOW
