00:00Dude, first of all, happy Sunday, man.
00:08I don't know if anybody ever said happy Sunday.
00:11I would say good morning, good evening, but it's in between transformation.
00:15Now check this out, man. This is where I'm at.
00:17I'm at Memorial 2022, man, right?
00:23Let me say this. Excellent, man, excellent.
00:26I was here, buddy.
00:28I was a volunteer at 9-11, you know?
00:35At Borough of Manhattan Community College.
00:39That's where they had the triage at.
00:40This is what I wanted to show you, man.
00:42I was looking for aura.
00:43I wanted to have an aura around me, like a white aura.
00:45Look, over here you can get auras.
00:51Wow, man, what's the odds of that?
00:53I was going to get somebody.
00:55I was going to find one of those creators to create an aura for me.
01:01I'm going to see if I can still get it done.
01:03Because I'm a light worker, man.
01:05So check this out, man.
01:08This is my first time here, man.
01:09I have no idea.
01:10The first time in this virtual reality spot.
01:14But I've been, I live a couple of train stops from Ground Zero.
01:20Look, that's the two train centers, man.
01:23Let me tell you something, buddy.
01:25People who watch it on television, they were devastated.
01:29I worked there.
01:31I was in World Trade Center 1.
01:33I was a co-op student.
01:35I worked for Chu International.
01:37My boss was Ralph Chu.
01:40You can check it out.
01:42I worked with Georgia Garvey.
01:44And who else?
01:46Pat?
01:49Madeline?
01:52Wow, what a memory, dude.
01:54We're going back over 40 years ago.
01:58Close to 40 years ago.
02:01Gerald Anderson.
02:09I used to come to work over there, man.
02:11In the World Trade Center.
02:12Where is it at?
02:15Where did they put it at?
02:16All the way over there, huh?
02:22That's amazing.
02:23Wow, look, man.
02:24Look.
02:26I was with somebody that was trying to do this fountain here.
02:31Dude, there's an unlimited amount of stuff must be in the Unity Package.
02:36If you can do this fountain.
02:43Let me see something, man.
02:46I had something in the back of my mind I always wanted to do.
02:52If I don't have to sign in.
03:00And what does this thing say, man?
03:02Turn on.
03:03Click the mic on your browser.
03:06This is the browser.
03:10All right, guys, forget it.
03:12This is more important over here.
03:13The 9-11 thing.
03:15Situation here.
03:22All right, let's see what we got now.
03:25Now, on the memorial, you don't see it here because you can't do it over here.
03:29You have all the names.
03:30Oh, they did it, man.
03:32They put some of the names.
03:36Wow, they're pretty detail-orientated, man.
03:43Look at that.
03:52Now, let me see what we have.
03:55First of all, let me just let you see the water.
03:58Because just in case you guys can't travel to New York City.
04:03And you always wondered what the memorial fountain looked like.
04:09This is what it looks like.
04:12I think it's, from my recollection, it might be a little tiny bit different.
04:18This is black.
04:19It's written and it's on stone.
04:21And then you have more names.
04:23There's no way the person could have put 3,000 names over here, you know.
04:28But overall, they did a great job, man.
04:34You know, you got to remember that, man, so you don't duplicate that.
04:41Useless, man.
04:46I mean, what was the purpose of killing all these innocent people, man?
04:56And then bragging about it.
05:02That you killed a bunch of innocent people, man.
05:04I don't know what religion allows you to kill 3,000 innocent people.
05:11They don't even know you.
05:13You don't even know if they supported you.
05:17That was a heck of a day, brother.
05:21That was a heck of a day, man.
05:24Because they hit the Pentagon that was trying to get the White House.
05:30Man, that was a well-organized plan, man.
05:33Man, man, man, you got to say that.
05:36For the United States to be updated on the modern technology, man.
05:42When it comes to battle strategies.
05:45It might be the third world country, man.
05:50That's all they do.
05:52Look at this, man. Look at this.
05:59Wow, you know what I thought they did?
06:01I thought they put a rose in there for each person.
06:04I saw the colors in there. It was the water.
06:07So, is this it?
06:08I mean, I'm not saying this is it.
06:10But I mean, like, can we leave out of here?
06:12It's all about the memorial.
06:14I think it's all about the memorial.
06:19Can we fly in here?
06:20Can we fly over the memorial?
06:31Nope.
06:36Wow.
06:37I've been there a few times, man.
06:41I never got a chance to, um...
06:44To understand how that...
06:45This fountain has to do with everybody's gone.
06:54Dude, can you play the video?
06:58Wouldn't that be something?
06:59This is the real deal.
07:01See, I told you we may have to stop.
07:159-11 flag.
07:19Wow.
07:21I'll tell you one thing.
07:22They did a good job with this, man.
07:24What?
07:28What does this say here?
07:31This is...
07:34Dude, that's me.
07:36I still got the aura on me.
07:41Dude, did I come from this area?
07:46Yeah, look at that, man.
07:49That was something there, man.
07:51Yeah, man.
07:53Can we go out?
07:59I don't think I can go beyond that tree line.
08:02Let's see.
08:04Dude.
08:06I'm outside the tree line.
08:11They got two of them?
08:21Wow.
08:26Wow.
08:30Wow, look at this, man.
08:32You know what one mind says, right?
08:35One mind says...
08:37To go into the pool.
08:42And see what's going on over there, man.
08:47That was a sad day.
08:49That stayed in the paper for a long time.
08:55Yeah.
09:01Let's see if I can stay on top of it.
09:03Uh-oh.
09:05Look, man. Where am I if I go here?
09:09Pretty close.
09:11That's what it looks like, right?
09:14The water going down that hole.
09:19I wonder what happens in the wintertime.
09:22We're gonna find out this winter, buddy.
09:25I could've found out a bunch of winters.
09:28Does the water freeze over there?
09:33Anybody thought about...
09:34You know one thing, brother.
09:37If you accidentally fell over there, you're not getting back up.
09:44There's no ladder.
09:45The water's going down.
09:46Let me see what it looks like.
09:49Ready?
09:51Bang.
09:53Dude.
09:55Look what they did.
10:00They fixed it so I don't have to fall in there.
10:02I can look inside there, man.
10:06Excuse me.
10:10Look at this, man.
10:12Nobody has went over the memorial like this, man.
10:18I appreciate that. Thanks a lot.
10:19Let's see who made it again.
10:23Fuzz did it.
10:25You know what that means?
10:28That means Fuzz didn't want the credit for it.
10:30They just put Fuzz.
10:31You don't know what Fuzz means.
10:34I can't even save it.
10:36Because I can't save it.
10:38Oh, let me just tell you guys this, man.
10:41Alright.
10:42So you can get to it yourself.
10:44This is a Memorial 2022.
10:47Fuzz did it.
10:48The entry code is BN, like Barnes & Noble.
10:51Z as in zebra.
10:52644.
10:54Alright.
10:55Bang.
10:57Bang.
10:58Can't hold on to it.
11:01Let's check this thing out.
11:05This is what it looks like.
11:06We're going to do a 360.
11:08And this is specifically for people who haven't had a chance to see it.
11:14Alright.
11:15You know about it.
11:16You heard about it.
11:17But you haven't actually had a chance to see it.
11:18So we're going to show you what it looks like.
11:21Here it goes.
11:27It's amazing.
11:28I'm sleepy.
11:30But it's hard for me to go to sleep, man.
11:32It's hard for me to go to sleep, man.
11:36Look, it's not about me.
11:39Look.
11:44Dude.
11:45I wonder if the World Trade Center was in that spot.
11:52So if you ever want to come here to New York City.
11:55And you want to visit the World Trade Center.
11:58You can get up at Chamber Street.
12:01On the A train.
12:05Or you can take a train to Fulton Street.
12:07Like Broadway, Nassau.
12:09And get off over there.
12:11You'll be like about five blocks from this area here.
12:17Dude, I grew up over here in this area, man.
12:18I grew up here.
12:21It was my first legitimate job working at the World Trade Center.
12:25And I really liked it, man.
12:26I was a messenger and a mail clerk.
12:30And a boy Friday.
12:31Do things outside my job description.
12:34Then I was working in the stock market.
12:37Spear Leagues in Kellogg.
12:38Drexel Lombard in Burham.
12:48Spear Leagues in Kellogg, man.
12:51Right around here.
12:53I got fired from the job.
12:54I got fired from the job.
12:58I got fired from my job and I started doing security.
13:02Making $3.35 an hour.
13:05$3.35 an hour.
13:08You hear me, buddy?
13:13Then from that security I moved up.
13:16Because I was in charge of a building.
13:19I had to watch on A and S Plaza.
13:21On 33rd and 6th Avenue.
13:25And then from being in a McLean.
13:27That was the name of the security.
13:28McLean Security.
13:30I got hired by A and S Plaza.
13:32Which was actually Melvin Simon Associates.
13:35Their relatives.
13:36But they named themselves A and S Plaza.
13:38Because it was connected to A and S Department Store.
13:41And they had a little area.
13:43And they took it and renovated it.
13:45And they called it A and S Plaza.
13:47To act like it was like a plaza part.
13:49And a department store part.
13:52Had glass elevators.
13:53You had a fountain in there.
13:55Models was big.
13:58Unlimited.
14:00For the clothing was big.
14:06Yeah, around this time, man.
14:10The weekend come I used to hit the clubs, man.
14:12They had clubs around here.
14:13They had clubs on top of the World Trade Center.
14:16And restaurants.
14:19It was a nice area, man.
14:20You know what I forgot, brother?
14:21That's what I forgot.
14:24I keep complaining about my neighborhood.
14:26Because I'm used to being in a neighborhood where everybody's productive.
14:29In my neighborhood, everybody's not productive, man.
14:37This is really nice, man.
14:39Just like a quiet time alone.
14:41I'm finding that I need a lot of quiet times alone, man.
14:45Not talking.
14:47Just relaxing.
14:48This is not really relaxing.
14:50This is something to think about, man.
14:53It's a tragedy.
14:54Dude, I took pictures.
14:56I saw.
14:57I didn't see the building.
14:58Dude, I saw one of the buildings fall.
14:59I saw number five fall.
15:01Which was a little bit suspicious.
15:03Because one and two fell.
15:05On my way coming from work.
15:08I was working at Terrence Carnell Cook Health Care Center.
15:12That's like on 150th and 6th.
15:14I'm like right next to Central Park.
15:29You know what's something, man?
15:31I was a young kid.
15:33I wasn't too smart or anything, man.
15:39I was a young kid.
15:41I was a young kid.
15:43I went down there.
15:44A bunch of other people.
15:46Regular civilians went down there.
15:48But they was only taking like professionals.
15:50EMS, paramedics and stuff like that.
15:53And then years later you find they get cancer.
15:56Or something because of the dust and all the dirt and stuff like that.
16:00That came out of the building.
16:05It's a moment in time, man.
16:08Ukraine is putting up a memorial now.
16:11Ukraine is putting up a memorial now.
16:18You gotta stop the violence, man.
16:21You need to have a motivational speaker that speaks love.
16:24But what happens when you get that?
16:26Everybody attacks the person, man.
16:28Everybody wants the image of a hero.
16:31But when you actually have a hero.
16:33Then it creates haters, man.
16:38Let's walk across here again.
16:41For the trauma.
16:43Traumazation.
16:44Ready? Here we go.
16:46Look at this one.
16:52People coming to work, man.
16:53I always wondered about that.
16:57People came to work on time that day.
17:00And had thoughts and dreams.
17:02About what they was gonna do when the day was over.
17:05They never got a chance to do it, man.
17:07Dude, people jumped out the window.
17:10You see this building right here?
17:12This is not as big as the World Trade Center.
17:15Which is right here, buddy.
17:17People jumped out the building.
17:20They got pictures of people jumping out.
17:24Can you imagine, dude?
17:26From there.
17:28You can jump out from just like the 5th or 6th floor and get hurt, man.
17:32High-heeled shoes, whatever the heck it is.
17:34Jumping out from 98 floors.
17:37The decision you have to make.
17:38Will I be incinerated?
17:40Or will I jump?
17:43And hope that I die from lack of oxygen on the way going down?
17:49Decisions, buddy.
17:53Because the bottom line is this, man.
17:56If the floor below you, the two floors below you is on fire.
18:01And you're above it.
18:03The only way for them to get you out is a helicopter, man.
18:05Which means what?
18:07The helicopter has to go all the way to the roof to be safe.
18:10And there's no guarantee that the fire below
18:14is going to crush the building inside of itself, man.
18:18So the helicopter will never get you, man.
18:20You're in a situation in there, man.
18:24You know?
18:28All you saw was body parts, man.
18:30Disintegration.
18:31From the airplane on fuel.
18:35I saw it, man.
18:37Let me tell you.
18:38I've seen a lot of movies, right?
18:40In my life.
18:42Where you can do disasters.
18:44You've got Mars attack.
18:46You know, Mars attack and stuff like that.
18:49But when I saw this one, man.
18:52I should have really kept them pictures.
18:54I thought it was going to be valuable.
18:56I thought it was going to be valuable.
18:58But it wasn't.
18:59I thought it was going to be valuable.
19:01I didn't want to make a profit
19:03off of somebody else's life.
19:09Plus, when I took the pictures,
19:11everybody had pictures.
19:13It wasn't a big thing to have pictures.
19:21What a tragedy, man.
19:23I could have been working that day.
19:25But I wouldn't have been
19:27because I never come to work early.
19:30Eat something in the morning, buddy.
19:37Can you imagine somebody rushing
19:39out the house to get to work
19:43to have a situation like this happen?
19:45Somebody's down there, man.
19:50No.
19:52Do I make it by myself, man?
19:55That's incredible.
19:57I ain't never seen somebody
19:58go in a building, brother.
20:01Dude, what if I'm going to build it?
20:04Because the memorial is not just this, man.
20:06The memorial is stuff inside the building.
20:08Let me see something.
20:12Okay.
20:24This is what the buildings look like.
20:26Excuse me.
20:28I'm on the World Trade Center at night.
20:31They're big like this.
20:39Then you can also go to Battery Park.
20:43They have an artifact
20:45from the 9-11 situation.
20:48I've seen this big dome thing.
20:50I never knew what it was, man.
20:52I don't know.
20:53I wonder if it's for music.
20:55Dude, you know what's funny, man?
20:57I didn't think I can get this far out of here, man.
20:59I felt like going to
21:01Broadway Nassau if I could.
21:05You got to go straight down there
21:07to get to Broadway Nassau.
21:24Let me see what's in this building, man.
21:26I've been on this Oculus for a while today.
21:29Look, man.
21:32Look at this.
21:34This is like a bunker.
21:37I've been in this area
21:39in the World Trade Center, man,
21:41and took pictures.
21:43Hope I still have them.
21:45Beautiful area in here, man.
21:47Looks like the future.
21:49It feels good to be in a spot
21:51nobody's in except for me.
21:59I check Alt Space, man.
22:01I don't see too many people
22:03appearing over there lately.
22:05Last night, I went to a club.
22:07It was 15 people in it
22:09on Alt Space.
22:12They're in the swimming pool.
22:14The place looked beautiful, man.
22:16I really wanted to record
22:18it, but it was too many people over there.
22:20When you got a bunch of people,
22:22you have to say I'm an Alt Space VR critic
22:24and you got to talk to each one.
22:26I don't know you're recording.
22:28It was something, man.
22:30I didn't record nothing.
22:32What I did do
22:34was save it to my favorites
22:36to check later on to see if nobody's there.
22:38Then I'll go in there
22:40and I'll show you everything, man.
22:42It was really beautiful.
22:44The person really hooked it up.
22:46Look, man.
22:48That's Paul.
22:51All right, guys.
22:54Do I still have my aura at least?
22:56I shouldn't have thought
22:58if I had my aura, man.
23:00They should have protected me.
23:02This is what a red aura looks like.
23:09See that?
23:11A red aura.
23:13I don't know what that represents,
23:15but I'll stick with the white one.
23:16All right, guys.
23:18That's it.
23:20This is just a reflection
23:24of a moment in time, man.
23:27Look.
23:29Actual pictures.
23:36You know what it's good to hear, man?
23:38It's good to hear
23:40when people have a situation
23:42in New York City.
