I saw this for the first time a few weeks back and it's really creepy in a way.

Oh wow I saw this when it was originally released years and years ago. Forgot all about it.

Amazing, beautiful, incredible architectural feat.

God rest all the souls.

I can’t watch Superman The Movie in the same way now where he’s flying around the city with Louis Lane with the WTC in the background.

They were such beautiful buildings. I remember being up there myself. The view was astonishing.

And Depress Mode had the perfect sad and beaten tone to represent the coming tragedy. I'd say they were prophetic, but every song they ever recorded had the same maudlin sound.

This from one of the commenters below the video:

Ahh..Depeche Mode made great music. It's a good thing those demons didn't plant demolition charges in the buildings and demolish them with these guys up there, like they did on 9/11.

I didn't know Rosie O'Donnell was a Depeche Mode fan.

Godfather III is creepy because the towers aren’t there anymore.

I still say the WTC deserved leveling Mecca, fair trade.

On a completely unrelated note, how’s the conversion going?

I was there in 1985. What an incredible view! For the first few years after 9/11, I was against rebuilding the towers. I've since changed my mind.

The World Trade Center is also shown in Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” video.

(grin!) It’s going, but a little slower than I had hoped, as I haven’t been able to invest as much time in it as I need to. But it is still plodding along.

Thanks for asking!

Yeah I’ve seen the same thing watching it and it does make you feel a little queasy for some reason.

Talking about creepy — try flying Flight Simulator 2000 over NYC.

It has the Towers? WHOA...

Gotta wonder if the terrorists might have used that for practise, ay.
