It has been over 23 years since the attacks on September 9th on the New York World Trade Center shock the world, and yet the film material of the terrible incident is still a source of pathological curiosity for many.

September 11, 2001, like any other for busy New Yorkers, started woke up the city and was to work as usual. However, the metropolis would come to a standstill at 8:46 a.m. when the first of two aircraft hit the north tower.

Almost 20 minutes after a second aircraft collapsed into the south tower, followed by a third flight that collapsed into the Pentagon (in which the US Department of Defense is housed). A fourth flight that was either bound to the White House or the US Capitol would smash into a field in Pennsylvania after a passenger uprising.

The attacks have lived almost 3,000 people and injured between 6,000 and 25,000 others. Millions more would die against terror in the following war, which had been raging for decades.

It is therefore understandable why the shattering event still manages to attract our attention, especially with eyewitnesses that still imagine to share their memories and film material.

One of these people is Kei Sugimoto, who uploaded his film material on YouTube on Youtube on July 23, 2024.

Check out the film material recorded by Sugimoto, which has been viewed over a million times since then:

Since then, Sugimoto has spoken to Ladbible why he decides to upload the film material from an “invisible perspective” and how it was to watch the attack in real time.

“I had just assumed that it was an accident and there was a fire,” recalled the 46-year-old.

However, Sugimoto would add that he recognized the scope of the situation after seeing the second plane hit the southern tower and then decided to grab his camera and document the story.

“I saw the effects of the second aircraft, and then I thought, okay, this is not just an accident. This is intended. It's a terrorist attack,” he said.

Sugimoto would try to make the film material into his local police department, but admitted that his offer was not taken seriously on that day, which meant that the ligaments gathered in his closet until recently.

Since then, his film material has become viral online, which many people appreciate his decision to “preserve history”.

“This film material offers a unique perspective that is not seen from the south or east,” said one. “You watch these angles for the first time.”

“It is crazy that we are almost 23 years old and still get new film material,” added a second to Reddit, while a third commented: “I wonder how much the story of the people of the people is kept on basement who are waiting to be excavated.”
