I used to live in New York and went to the WTC many times.
Actually went their every day when I live in Jersey City and worked in down town NY. The train from JC ends at WTC and that's where I got off to walk to work.

The WTC, as most sky scrapers, was actually moving all the time from the wind at high altitudes. It was shocking for me to learn the WTC shited as far as 80 feet during a typical day.

People who have never been to the WTC really have no idea of the magnitude of the buildings. Seeing it afar or on TV is a joke.
Fact, if you had never been to the world trade center then you have never seen anything in the world that fucking big.
There is nothing on earth that I could compare it to.
Maybe the grand cayon, but I never been there so can't compare.
