02:42Just look at that building.
02:47Hopefully I'm getting in this shot.
02:50It sure is hot up here in New York.
02:56Just like Florida weather.
02:57Hopefully I got into that shot.
03:01The New York Marriott World Trade Center was a 22-story, 825-room hotel within the original World Trade Center complex in Manhattan, New York City.
03:14It opened in April 1981 as the Visa International Hotel.
03:21In November 1995, it was bought by Marriott Corporation and renamed to the Marriott World Trade Center.
03:29It was unofficially known as the Marriott Hotel, Visa Hotel, and World Trade Center 3, WTC3, or 3WTC.
03:39The hotel was damaged in the World Trade Center bombing by Al-Qaeda terrorists in February 1993.
03:4712.33 this afternoon here to Beekman downtown, and he had blood all over his body.
03:53And he was one of the first patients, and he told his paramedic that a car seemed to explode in the parking garage of the World Trade Center in Tower A,
04:02and that the force of it threw him out, actually forced him out of the building.
04:07There must have been some gaping hole there.
04:09The lights came back on gradually through the night, as if the giant towers were waking slowly from their worst nightmare.
04:17A 40-year-old firefighter, Bill Chula, this was a scene that he will never forget.
04:21The lobby of the World Trade Center filled with thick, choking smoke.
04:25It was like an apocalypse, I guess you could say.
04:27You couldn't, it was a very heavy, dense smoke situation.
04:30That place is a death trap, let me tell you something.
04:33There was smoke where there shouldn't be smoke.
04:35I was on the 107th floor, and we heard the bang, and that place filled up in five minutes.
04:40The 1,336-pound urea nitrate hydrogen gas-enhanced device was intended to send the North Tower crashing into its twin, the South Town,
04:52taking down both skyscrapers and killing tens of thousands of people.
04:56We are under attack!
04:58Things of monstrous terror unleashed from the sacred cotton candy place of our dreams!
05:04If anyone is out there listening, get out of town before it gets to you!
05:09And I'm out of here!
05:13While it failed to do so, it killed six people, including a pregnant woman, and caused over a thousand injuries.
05:21About 50,000 people were evacuated from the building setting.
05:24The New York Marriott World Trade Center was a 22-story, 825-room hotel within the original World Trade Center complex in Manhattan, New York City.
05:38It opened in April 1981 as the Visa International Hotel, and was the first major hotel to open in Lower Manhattan, south of Canal Street, since 1836.
05:52In November 1995, it was bought by Marriott Corporation, and renamed to the Marriott World Trade Center.
06:04The hotel was damaged in the World Trade Center bombing by Al-Qaeda terrorists.
06:09In February 1993, the city's Port Authority considered demolishing the building, but instead decided to repair it, reinforcing its structure.
06:20It reopened in November 1994.
06:24In 2001, it was mostly destroyed by the collapse of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers.
06:31During the September 11 attacks, by Al-Qaeda, around 50 people inside the building died.
06:39Only the southern end of the hotel was spared, and it was eventually demolished to make way for reconstruction.
06:46The hotel was not replaced as part of the new World Trade Center complex, although its address was reused for the tower at 175 Greenwich Street.
06:56The building was a 22-story steel frame structure, with 825 rooms and six basement levels, labeled B1 through B6.
07:08The hotel was connected to the North Tower via an underground entrance at concourse level, and a small pedestrian walkway that extended from the West Promenade of the Marriott to the North Tower on plaza level.
07:24On the 22nd floor, there was a gym that was the largest of any hotel in New York City at the time, with a swimming pool and a running track, with views of the Hudson River and the Austin J. Tobin Plaza.
07:41The pool was put near the top, so the hotel could be flooded if a fire occurred.
07:46The hotel also had 26,000 square feet of meeting space on the entire third floor.
07:58It was considered a four-diamond hotel by the American Automobile Association, AAA.
08:03The hotel featured two restaurants, the Tall Ships Bar and Grill, located at street level, and the Greenhouse Café, a restaurant on the plaza level that featured a large skylight looking up at the North and South Tower.
08:19Previously, another restaurant had operated called the American Harvest, however, it was removed following the bombing in 1993, and was renovated and remained as a rentable space called the Harvest Room.
08:34The building was designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill with construction beginning in March 1979.
08:43It was opened on April 1st, 1981, with 100 of 825 rooms available, and it was completed in July 1981.
08:54Shortly before the opening day of the visa, a fire broke out on the seventh floor.
08:59Kuwo Hotel Corporation, based in Hong Kong, bought the hotel's leasehold in 1982 from Edward W. Ross and Gerald Wexler.
09:12In 1989, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey bought the leasehold from Kuwo for $78 million, but the operating rights remained in the hands of Hilton International as management agent.
09:26On February 26th, 1993, the hotel was seriously damaged as a result of the World Trade Center bombing.
09:37Terrorists affiliated with Al-Qaeda took a rider truck loaded with 1,500 pounds of explosives and parked it in the North Tower parking garage below the hotel's ballroom.
09:49They likely viewed this as the area where an explosion would cause the most structural damage.
09:56At 12.18 p.m. EDT, the explosion destroyed or seriously damaged the lower and sub-levels of the World Trade Center complex.
10:05Began assembling the 1,500-pound urea nitrate fuel oil device in his Pomeropo Avenue home in Jersey City, ready for delivery to the WTC on February 26th, 1993.
10:20He ordered chemicals from his hospital room when he had been injured in a car crash, one of three accidents caused by Salome in late 1992 and early 1993.
10:30Speaking in code by phone on December 29th, 1992, Ajaj told Yousef that he had won release of the bomb manuals, but warned Yousef that picking them up might jeopardize his business.
10:45On one book, carried by Ajaj in 1992, was a word translated by the FBI as meaning the basic rule.
10:53It was later found to be Al-Qaeda, meaning the base.
10:58Four cardboard boxes into the back of the van, each containing a mixture of paper bags, newspapers, urea, and nitric acid.
11:06Next to them, he placed three red metal cylinders of compressed hydrogen.
11:11Four long containers of nitroglycerin were loaded into the center of the van with Atlas Rockmaster blasting caps connected to each.
11:21The van was driven into the garage of the World Trade Center, where it exploded.
11:26Using his Pakistani passport, Yousef escaped from the United States hours later.
11:31It is believed that he fled to Iraq.
11:33As a result of the bombing, the FBI added Yousef as the 436th person on its 10 most wanted fugitives list.
11:41On April 21st, 1993.
11:43Oh, I think I'm living in the sun, I think I'm living in a world of us.
12:03Breaking us down, but they all shall let us be.
12:09It belongs to you and me.
12:13Ooh, ooh, ooh, aaa, aaa, aaaa, aa-aa-oo, aaa, aa-aa-aa-oo, aaa-aa-aa...
12:19When I tried to get a certain time dealing with such a young,
12:23When it discriminates
12:29So youthful to do without a self
12:32When they all should make us feel
12:36I don't want to give you 50 points.
12:59Ah oui, mais pour quoi faire ?
13:01Golnaz m'a dit qu'il y a des mecs qui vendent des cassettes sur l'avenue Gandhi.
13:04Et des cassettes des Bee Gees ?
13:05Mais Maman, c'est nul, les Bee Gees, quoi.
13:10The Marriott Financial Center, a hotel located two blocks west,
13:15served as a press conference area and a command post for the law enforcement response.
13:22The city's port authority considered demolishing the building for some time.
13:26The building was instead closed for 18 months while they worked on extensive repairs.
13:32Reinforcements to the hotel's structure, including the installation of, quote,
13:38the largest steel beam ever put in a building to that point.
13:42The hotel reopened on November 1st, 1994.
13:47On November 9th, 1995, the hotel was sold to Host Marriott Corporation for $141.5 million.
13:56It was renamed to the New York Marriott World Trade Center.
14:02The new company administering the hotel started operations in January 1996.
14:08Security was increased at the hotel, but they were ineffective in the face of the attacks in September 2001.
14:15This is Sunday morning, and I've actually gotten a very nice motel, uh, yeah, motel, hotel room, I should say.
14:27Hotel.
14:28Marriott Hotel.
14:30Right next to the World Trade Center.
14:32Just look at those big, tall buildings.
14:40The twin World Trade Center towers.
14:48And yesterday I was up, up on the top roof of one of the towers.
14:53I'm not sure which one it is.
14:54I think it's this one.
14:59Oh, wow.
15:00Anyway, it's a beautiful room.
15:02Beautiful room.
15:15Inside the lobby of one of the towers.
15:30Very nice room.
15:32There's the light.
15:44There's a good view.
15:48The hallway.
15:52Picture of the World Trade Center.
15:54Very nice bed.
16:00Nice little desk there.
16:04A mirror.
16:07Proved that I was here.
16:09Different view of the bed.
16:23And this is the beautiful restroom.
16:26Look how fancy that is.
16:30Look how fancy that is.
16:30Let me back up.
16:35Beautiful, isn't it?
16:37Luxurious.
16:38Nice marble.
16:40Smooth and shiny floor.
16:43And carpet.
16:44The shower.
16:44The shower.
17:00Something else.
17:03Some more people coming into the lobby of the Trade Center tower.
17:14Wow, I can't even get the top of it, it's too tall, there's no way, I don't even get
17:30on this one, I barely see the top, dang, that's a tall building,
17:44beautiful Marriott Hotel, Marriott, Penn, World Trade Center, it says something on
17:57there, yeah, New York Marriott World Trade Center, proof that I was here,
18:06not a shabby place at all, but I'm gonna stop the camera and see what's what.
18:25In January 2001, 77 NYPD police cadets graduated in a ceremony held at the hotel.
18:55In the mid-morning of November 17th, six gunmen killed 58 foreign nationals and four
19:13Egyptians. The assailants were armed with knives and automatic firearms and disguised as members
19:20of the security forces. They descended on the mortuary temple of the Chepsut at around 8.45
19:26a.m. They killed two armed guards at the site while the tourists were trapped inside the
19:34temple. The killing went on systematically for 45 minutes, during which many bodies, especially
19:41women, were mutilated with machetes. The body of an elderly Japanese man was also found
19:48mutilated. A leaflet was discovered and stuffed into his body that read,
19:54no to tourists in Egypt. One of the terrorists was wounded in the subsequent shootout and the
20:00rest fled into the hills where their bodies were found in a cave, apparently having committed
20:06suicide together. One or more of al-Jamea al-Islamiyah's leaflets were found calling for the release
20:14of Omar Abdel Rahman from a U.S. prison, stating that the attack had been carried out as a gesture
20:20to exile leader Mustafa Hamza, or declaring, we shall take revenge for our brothers who have died
20:26on the gallows. The depths of the earth are better for us than the surface, since we have seen our
20:33brothers squatting in their prisons and our brothers and families tortured in their jails.
20:38The attack is believed to have been carried out by the al-Jamea al-Islamiyah in an attempt to
20:44undermine their July 1997 non-violence initiative to devastate the Egyptian economy and provoke the
20:51government into repression, which, they assumed, would strengthen support for anti-government forces.
20:59However, the attack ended up leading to internal divisions among the militants and resulted in the
21:04declaration of a ceasefire.
21:06Ramzi Yousef, who was the ringleader of the attempt to destroy these buildings in 1993, was being taken away by
21:14federal agents in a helicopter. And as they flew over Lower Manhattan, one of the FBI agents said to him,
21:19Mr. Yousef, you see the World Trade Centers are still standing. And he said, yes, but if we had enough money,
21:26they wouldn't have enough money, they wouldn't have enough money, they wouldn't have enough money.
21:31Mohamed Mohamed Al-Amir Yuwata, born September 1968, died September 11, 2001, was an Egyptian terrorist
21:40hijacker for Al-Qaeda.
21:42He was a pan-Islamist, he was the ringleader of the September 11 attacks, and served as the hijacker
21:54pilot of American Airlines Flight 11, which he crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center,
22:02as part of the coordinated suicide attacks. Aged 33, he was the oldest of the 19 hijackers,
22:11who took part in the mission. Born and raised in Egypt, Mohamed Akta studied architecture,
22:19at Cairo University, graduating in 1990, and pursued postgraduate studies in Germany,
22:30at the Hamburg University of Technology. In Hamburg, Atta became involved with the
22:36Mashidun Al-Qsi, where he met Marwan Al-Shehayu, Ramzi bin Abshipti, and Ziad Dujarra,
22:43together forming the Hamburg cell. Atta disappeared from Germany for periods of time,
22:50embarking on an Al-Hajjou in 1995, but also meeting Usama bin Laden and other Al-Qaeda leaders
22:59in Afghanistan from late 1999 to early 2000. His friends in Germany described him as an intelligent
23:08man in whom religious convictions and political motives held equal sway. He harbored anger and
23:16resentment toward the U.S. for its policy in Islamic nations of the Middle East, with nothing inflaming
23:23his ire more than the Oslo Accords and the Gulf War in particular. He was also angry and bitter at the
23:32elite in his native Egypt, who he believed hoarded power for themselves, as well as at the Egyptian
23:39government that cracked down on the dissident Muslim Brotherhood. Atta was anti-Semitic,
23:48believing that Jews controlled the world's media, financial, and political institutions from New York
23:54city. These beliefs were even stronger during Operation Infinite Reach, as he believed that
24:03Monica Lewinsky was a Jewish agent influencing American President Bill Clinton against aiding
24:10Filistina, which would later play a key role in creating the Hamburg cell. On August 1st, 1995,
24:19Atta returned to Egypt for three months of study. Before his trip, he grew out a beard to show himself
24:27as a devout Muslim and also to make a political gesture. Atta returned to Hamburg on October 31st,
24:351995, only to join the pilgrimage to Makada shortly thereafter. In Hamburg, Atta was intensely drawn to
24:44Samashidun Oksu, which adhered to a, quote, harsh, uncompromisingly fundamentalist and resoundingly
24:52militant, unquote, version of Sunni Islam. He made acquaintances at Al-Kuqtsu, some of whom visited him
25:00on occasion at Semtram's house. He also began teaching classes both at Al-Kuqtsu and at a Turkish mosque
25:08near the Harburg district. Atta also started and led a prayer group, which Ahmed Mohalat and Munir
25:17Al-Mutazadeke joined. Ramzi bin al-Shabiti was also there teaching occasional classes and became Atta's
25:26friend. On April 11th, 1996, Atta signed his last will and testament at the mosque, officially declaring his
25:35Muslim beliefs and giving 18 instructions regarding his burial. This was the same day that Israel
25:43attacked Lubnan in Operation Grapes of Wrath, signing the will, quote, offering his life, unquote, was his
25:51response. The instructions in his last will and testament reflect both Sunni funeral practices, along with some more
25:59puritanical demands from Salafism, including asking people not to weep and cry and to generally refrain
26:07from showing emotion. Don't cry for me. I'm already dead. This will was signed by Al-Mutazadeke in a second
26:17person at the mosque. After leaving Plankantor in the summer of 1997, Atta disappeared again and did not
26:26return until 1998. He had made no progress on his thesis. Atta phoned his graduate advisor,
26:34Mashul, and mentioned family problems at home, saying, quote, please understand, I don't want to
26:41talk about this, unquote. At the winter break in 1997, Atta left and did not return to Hamburg for
26:49three months. He said he went on pilgrimage to Makadun again just 18 months after his first time.
26:55This claim has been disputed. American journalist Terry McDermott has argued that it is unusual for
27:02someone to go on pilgrimage so soon after the first time and to spend three months there, more
27:09than Al-Hajj requires. When Atta returned, he claimed that his passport was lost and applied for a new one,
27:17which is a common tactic to erase evidence of travel to places such as Afghanistan.
27:23When he returned in spring 1998, after disappearing for several months, he had grown a thick, long beard
27:31and seemed more serious and aloof than before to those who knew him. Atta and the other Hamburg cell
27:39members were recruited by Bin Laden and Khalid al-Sheikh Mohammedun for a, quote, planes operation,
27:47unquote, unquote, in the United States. Atta returned to Hamburg in February 2000 and began inquiring about
27:56flight training in the United States where he, Jarrah, and Al-Sheikh arrived in June to learn how to pilot
28:04planes, obtaining instrument ratings in November. Beginning in May 2001, Atta assisted with the arrival of the
28:15muscle hijackers whose role was to subdue passengers and crew to enable the hijacker pilots to take over.
28:24In July, Atta traveled to Spain to meet with Benishepti to finalize the plot. Then in August,
28:32traveled as a passenger on, quote, surveillance flights to establish in detail how the attacks could be carried out.
28:41We'll see you next time.

32:51And we need to get the military involved with this.
