No one’s gonna comment about how he said he heard multiple explosions? Jet fuel alone doesn’t melt steel beams. This was an implosion/demolition along with the planes hitting the buildings that day.

thanks for sharing your story. prayers to everyone

Its fascinating to listen to all these stories and then hear about people you've heard about in other peoples stories. The burned woman was being helped downstairs by a Jewish gentleman, cant quite remember his name. But ive heard his story several times and I remember him talking about helping a severely burned colleague. Pretty sure same woman hes referring to.

This is one of the best talks I’ve heard, thank you!

14:55 “So we got down to about the 44th floor, and then I started seeing smoke coming up my stairwell. […] there was very grey smoke coming up. And people’s heads, you could barely see the tops of people’s heads down about a floor.” Smoke rising from below 44th floor when the fires were on the 90th floor and above? That does not make sense to me unless there was another source of fire/incendiaries… like, explosives, perhaps? Hmmm…

My parents always talked about the day JFK was assasinated, I was not even six but I have memories of them being so tense and trying to make everything normal. I think that was their moment of realisation that there is real evil in this world. I was working for an American company in London, attending an on site training course. There were a lot of Americans working on our site, some had relatives in New York. No one knew how widespread the attacks were going to be, at that time we all feared the worst. That is the moment I understood. We are not safe. Especially now.

Amazing survival story!

19:00 He only found out what had happened after he evacuated the building. If this had occurred today everybody in those stairwells would’ve had instant access to what had occurred and it probably would’ve created a heightened sense of panic for everyone.

Thanks for your story, it is touching me so well this September 2024!

You tell your story so well - I heard every word. Good job!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤍🤍🤍

Very good video. You made me feel what you felt on that day❤

God bless him for surviving and dedicating his life to telling the harrowing story, where many did not. One of the greatest healers of tragedy and the post traumatic stress that follows is talking about what happened. What a selfless man.

Hadn’t seen this before. Thank you! !,

I've been watching a lot of videos about this recently. When he talks about "move to the right, injured coming through" and the lady with the burned arms, that lady had to jump through burning aviation fuel flames to get out of an elevator. She made it out OK with a jewish man called Ari Schonbrun. The lady behind her in the elevator also made it out, but sadly died from her burns.

So basically the firefighters were impeding the existing of the victims.

Did you ever find out about security guy from the 44th floor ❤

I wonder why some survivors do NOT have survivor’s guilt.

Great story of a horrific day. Thank you and I'm glad you didn't go up for breakfast that day.

I think the burned woman he is talking about was Virginia. Ive heard a testimony from a coworker of hers, and she was in so much pain...

The security guard from the 44th floor might have been the same one that another survivor ran into, on the same floor in his retreat out. In his encounter he said the security guard was also with someone that had bad injuries, and asked the guy to call for help for them, as he stayed with that person. He didn't make it out.

Blowing black out of his nose and he didn't even know he had inhaled that much stuff reminded of the burn pits in Iraq. I wasn't even that close to them and I blew my nose and it was black. it is amazing how much particles are in the air and sometimes don't even realize.

For a computer nerd he was cute

Never forget

Great story. I’m sure everyone who was there that day remembers every detail. I was in Arlington VA and when I heard the news I honestly thought the world was ending. It felt like Armageddon. Like his wife, I was also 5 months pregnant. My daughter was born January 16, 2002. I talk to her and my son born in 2005 about the events of 9-11 frequently because I want the generations who were born before it began to know.

What an awesome man, so glad you were able to make it out and get back to your family. ❤

What happened on 9/11 was pure evil if you do not understand why Americans believe in God is because Jesus died for us and we believe that God has given us Eternal life

I love New York I am from Akron Ohio want to stay

God has all those that passed away from 9/11

Dear God please forgive my sins and forgive my mistakes accept my self just as I am I accept the Holy Spirit and save my soul

If you hate America get out do not stay I am American and love my country

in dec 2001 i met a lady from Jersey she had a relative in the towers on 911.He had been out at a coworker's retirement party the night before . He was very hungover and went down to the lobby to get some pepto when the first plane hit his floor he saw elevator explode and was able to get out. Im sure his full story would be a good listen

He is most fortunate to have made it out to see his family again, while so many did not. I had 2 friends in Tower 1 Cantor Fitzgerald, both with newborn sons, who never made it home. Just one of them was able to call home, he knew he was going to die, and it is just heartbreaking to think about. Made me tear up when this guy said he was crying over his son’s crib thinking of my friends

Im Australian and i always get emotional hearing and seeing anything about 9/11 Thanks for your story

The World Trade Center was never designed for a mass evacuation. When the North Tower was bombed in 1993, power was interrupted and occupants complained of having to descend slowly in pitch black stairwells. It took ten hours to get everyone out of the building that day. After the bombing, the Port Authority spent $250 million on safety and security improvements, including photoluminescent paint in the stairwells, battery-powered stairwell lights, glow-in-the-dark floor signage, and regular fire drills. On 9/11, people in the towers didn't have ten hours to get out. The South Tower collapsed only 56 minutes after being hit. It is estimated that 13,000--15,000 people successfully evacuated the towers on 9/11, and the evacuation was greatly aided by the improvements made after 1993. Hundreds or thousands more would likely have died if not for those efforts.

I always get sad when u can hear in their voices trying to keep it together

Who are the idiots speaking lightly??

"This can all wait another day" I feel is important to hear now even as it was then. People are running a round with heads cut off.

God was watching over you, getting you out of the world trade center and getting you home safe to your family!

These stories of survival are fascinating. I'm glad you and your colleagues made it out alive. I weep for the souls that did not.

He said the first building collapsed at 8:59. That's a mistake, I think it was 9:46. But I'm sure he just mispoke. Incredible story none the less.

Hearing him know he had to get out and telling them “this can all wait another day.” just makes my stomach hurt but also makes me feel only a fraction of that flight feeling he must have felt. So glad he made it

my mother worked for time on the 88th floor of one of the towers about 5 years before i was born in 92. My father got a job as an engineer in the basement of one of the towers. At the last minute around the summertime he decided he didnt want to drive in to work into the city that he would rather stay in our borough of Queens. Its funny how time is. My parents would go the windows on the world as their special place to have dinner about a handful times a year. My mothers brother in law worked for the port authority so we were always invited to holiday events in the towers, i grew up playing inside the towers. sometimes it trips me out. i know i have not suffered as much as these brave 911 survivors but when you are a born and bred new yorker, 911 is in your bones. in your heart. i remember the smell, the haze, the terror, i was only 9 when it happened. at 31 i realize that i actually have ptsd from that day. from seeing the look in my parents eyes, from the smell of smoke that actually came over our house in Queens, it looked like a bonfire outside our window. My mothers friend lost her son, he was a firefighter, a cousin on my godmothers side died in the towers, my fathers best friends sister in law passed in the towers as well. its sad that ill never know these people yet i have all these connections to them. sometimes it scares me when i remember the memories of being a little girl inside the towers. Life is short. Were only here for a temporary time.

Remember he didn't see any plane hit the bldg. He only stated it must have been the first plane.

I'm here only to count lies.

Don't think I've ever heard accounts of what the impact felt like when inside the building. It must have been so confusing. 40 floors below you've no clue what it was, and if things settled after that, you'd probably just carry on none the wiser. Damn.

Thnk u for sharing your story.

9/11 hurt me so that I wanted to reenlist into the Navy because I wanted to be apart of getting our lick back.

Your story telling and account of your experience that day are incredible. I could picture everything you were saying. Also, as an IT professional, I remember watching 9/11 unfold while I was in a Network Operations Center (NOC), so I can totally connect when you talked about server rooms, etc. In fact, I was troubleshooting with a guy in the WTC remotely the day before. Thank you for sharing.

In one way i wanted him to go to the window to the world restaurant because you only live once, do it. But then i remembered if he did he would have been trapped and certainly died that day. Him not going to the top floor saved his life. I still cant quite fathom how this happened and wasnt just a horrific scene in a twisted film.
