Since When Are There Grain Silos in Manhattan?
See top center-- the gray building with rounded sections:
From this video. The background looks more like a small midwestern town than Manhattan!
I can see no evidence of grain silos using google satellite map of Manhattan-- though someone please correct me if this is there. But it looks fake to me.
UPDATE: Mystery cleared up. The video is showing buildings off in the distance in Queens, due to the perspective and the camera focus. The big brown bldg is a power plant in Queens and the silos are old cement silos that were torn down a couple years back.

And the gash looks artificial.
from that angle, the view is looking past wtc 7 and toward new jersey, where that 'silo' should be...
To me, the view looks like it is from the Hudson, looking NNE.
You're a NY guy, aren't you Rob? Do you know any buildings like that?
actually, the view is almost due East.
but I can't find ANY two buildings like the dark brown and gray silo buildings in the the clip that are east of the WTC complex-- and there are lots of tall buildings on google that don't seem to be in this shot
OK sorry spooked. i think you're right. it is probably looking east. that video still had me all disorientated. and i am a born & raised here NY'er. ;-)
i was just gonna say it's probably a view of some part of queens, but then i just caught your update.
