via ortho. Title link takes you to the video. Synths featured: Two Emulator IIs. That said, I'll never forget seeing the WTC for the first time. If you love architecture and buildings, it was one of the pinacles. I always had a fascination with buildings. Monuments of what we can accomplish. I grew up in LA so the twin towers weren't part of my childhood, but I always knew about them and I always wanted to see them in person. When I went to New York for the first time in 1996, on a side trip from Connecticut, we stayed two nights and only had one day to explore the city. WTC was on the top of the list and then the Empire State Building. We were fortunate enough to have a drink and lunch at Windows on the World, a restaurant on the 107th floor. The view was spectacular. We had lunch at roughly 11:30 AM. I always wondered if any of the staff there was unfortunate enough to be there when it happened. The video captures the amazing view as well; they were really that high. It's hard to fathom how they were built when you are standing there.

ReplyDeleteI imagine some people would find this pic in bad taste, but they should know that Bob himself thought it was hilarious.
