This Timelapse Video Of One World Trade Center Being Built Is Breathtaking And Might Make You Cry

Any story about the World Trade Center is sure to conjure up a ton of emotion, and this video is no exception. Maybe it’s the cinematic quality of the video by EarthCam, maybe it’s the dramatic, swelling music in the background which could have come at the end of any well-written superhero movie. But watching the skyscraper at One World Trade Center in New York City growing from the rough, devastated but readied site of Ground Zero into the clouds where its predecessors the Twin Towers once stood is truly moving. We’ve seen videos like this before, but the one from EarthCam is a closer look for sure. When you think about the sight of the towers collapsing and see this new building rising, it’s a triumphant, defiant contrast to the tragedy of 9/11.

Man, construction sites on the internet sure are dusty, huh? If you’ll excuse me…
