Kei Sugimoto was 24 years old when he shot this video of the World Trade Center Towers collapsing. Two days ago, he released the never-before-seen video on his YouTube channel.

He wrote in the YouTube description: "Footage I filmed of the World Trade Center Collapsing on 9/11/2001. Filmed from the roof of 64 St Marks Place in NYC on a Sony VX2000 with teleconverter. For historical archival purposes only."

As one Redditor observed: "Makes me wonder how much history is being stored in people's attics or basements waiting to be unearthed."
