Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

 

During some shots in the tour, my legs turned to jelly just from watching the video. When I visit, I'll be the guy standing at least ten feet back from the windows at all times.

thanks, Thick.....I'll be back there in October and have a couple questions: was it actually more crowded than the few ghostly (!) images in the video?.....how long would an average visit be, not including the exterior memorial et al?....did it all seem well-operated and appropriate (or an over-priced tourist frenzy), considering the history?....

 

appreciate the video

Thanks for sharing the video. I was going to pass because of the price of admission, now I'm going to reconsider.

What is the cost to go up in the tower? Can advance tickets/reservations be purchased to avoid super long lines and waits?

A truly great experience.....quite crowded..but manageable...you must buy tickets ahead of time...the schedule is online..we took the train to Franklin St and walked a few blocks....the Memorial Museum was well done....sort of sad...the voices played in the background from 911 emergency calls were chilling....we spent about 2.5 hours...I took lots of photos...We walked back home and talked about that day afterwards....stopped for lunch in SoHo...not to be missed..
