Today marks exactly 25 years since September 11, 2001. 🇺🇸 The elevator to the top of One World Observatory recreates 500 years of New York City history. If you watch the skyline closely, you will see the original Twin Towers standing tall, and then respectfully fade away the exact moment the timeline hits 2001. It happens incredibly fast, making it one of the most powerful, subtle tributes in the entire city. 25 years later, New York City stands strong. 🕊️ Follow Empire State visuals for more New York history. 🎥 #NeverForget #September11 #25thAnniversary #OneWorldObservatory #WorldTradeCenter
