I appreciate the effort that goes into making these videos. I’ve been watching since 2018 and the quality keeps improving 🤝
-
The documentaries on this channel are reaching a level quality I didn't know was possible.
-
As a skyscraper nerd, I have been a fan of this channel for years. I love how the quality of the content has not only improved but evolved. B1M is truly a treasure.
-
I think redesigning the lower levels is crucial and I'm glad they're doing it. But topping it with slanted diamonds would be SO much cooler than flat roofs
-
Personally I feel like the diamond is the best, it compliments 1wtc well. It's striking and pops out of the skyline in a similar way I think the twin towers did. It's kinda sad that construction on this site is still unfinished after 17 years. I wasn't around when the original towers were destroyed, but I still feel like it's important that this site is completely rebuilt.
-
As a New Yorker, I can’t tell you how disappointed I am that reconstruction on this site is still incomplete.😬😬😬
-
Even as a New Yorker who was an adult when 9/11 happened I had no idea the status of the WTC unfinished buildings. Thank you for shedding a light on this story. The level of detail and journalism you put into your videos is paramount.
-
How versatile is a foundation that has not been built on? Will the foundation be good forever? Does it constrain the building that can be built on top of it?
-
Nothing can top the original trade centers. You could literally see them from anywhere in New York and I wish they would make these two towers the same way so that you could see them from all over the place in New York City.
-
As a kid, I'd always open Google earth and explore New York. I'd always follow the news on the reconstruction of the WTCs. I still do actually, sometimes. Thank you B1M for keeping on fueling my love of New York and skyscrapers.
-
It is a difficult situation to be in. Apart from these 4 stages, the WTC also faces the public eye. We're talking about buildings being built on the sites of pain, horror and sorrow. Anything less than perfect can be disastrous and that's not a good position for anyone to find themselves in.
-
Fascinating complex current topic + captivating footage + British accent + Fred Mills in a tight black tee shirt + excellent script + Fred Mills’ biceps = a superb video.
-
Thankyou Mr Mills. I am currently so interested in architecture and your clear narrating and editing style really helps. Thankyou.
-
i loved the original design of 2WTC, the diamonds look so sick.
-
These videos are always so well done. Excellent research, fantastic video editing and cinematography, and a (very handsome and buff) narrator with a perfect voice for documentaries. I really appreciate the consistent quality and approachability of B1M videos! Keep it up Fred and all the other producers!
-
Great show. It's very professional and what's great is that you get information from different sources all of which are genuine.
-
The diamond columns are in my opinion the best looking design. I remember visiting ground zero right after the memorial was open and while 1WTC was still being built. We got a private tour of 3WTC and there was a large model of how the site may look, and it had the diamond columns and I was in awe at how elegant 2WTC would look like. Still the best option in my opinion if they decide to go forward.
-
Your channel is second to none for content like this. The good work doesn’t go unnoticed!
-
These programs are as informative as they are professionally produced - and by a content creator who looks like a special forces officer. I’ve learned a great deal about a subject I knew little about but have always found fascinating.
-
Thank you for sharing. I had family members who worked in the old-World Trade Center 4 Building many years ago. I miss the older buildings that were there in the 1970s of this great city!
