- Nearly a decade after the September 11 attacks, efforts to identify human remains recovered from Ground Zero still continue. David Common explains how new science is being used to help some families find closure.
To the man whos son has not been found...he is a hero and he is with you
True. ❤
Absolutely...Scott has been watching his dad watering 😇🤍
Sad, cruel, true
Dont worry justice is being served
“Human tissue fused into debris.” That’s horrific. Those poor people 😢
I can’t imagine the pain
Your only hope is that it was quick.
Hopefully they lost consciousness quickly from the shock and couldn't feel much of the pain.
Some used to fill pot holes in roads in New York I read.
There was a programme here in the UK about a young man who was lost.. No body was found, but they finally got an identification a few years ago. They found 2 pieces of his collar bone. All the family have of their son and brother is 2 a5 size envelopes with 2 tiny pieces of bone. Broke my heart
I can't even begin to imagine what it's like not to have any remains of your loved one to bury. May this man get peace and closure. 😞
Least they have the memories ... Those are more precious
@@rickhardman7376 yes memories are precious but not having the closure of being able to lay their body to rest is unexplainable. I had a family member who was killed and 10 years later no body has been found, it makes accepting the reality that they are dead very hard.
Brooke: Well the way that I see it is -- once someone is dead. They are are no longer there. The body is just material. It means nothing. Hopefully -- everyone has some sort of spirit -- soul and in that case -- it is non-local. One could hopefully try to connect with that spirit and it could be anywhere on earth that one could do that. Kind of hard to explain.
I lost my cousin in a mining explosion that killed 29 men, we never got his body back the only things we got back was the stuff in his locker, very thankful that we got the stuff in his locker back but it’s a feeling of endless pain and heartache and longing for him in ways others will never understand. I just wish some days I could go sit with a grave and cry or I could go sit down with him in a grave site and talk to him about life and stuff. All I have is a poster to remember him by bc the rest of his items went to his mum and sister and to his unborn daughter who he never met. I would love to know what closure feels like but I doubt I ever will, the people responsible for the mine have never faced any consequences of their actions either so it’s like pouring salt into a wound that’s already opened as it is. So I know a lot about what these people have gone through in terms of receiving little to no closure and it’s not a feeling I wish on my worst enemy 🥺😓💔
@@brooke2772 yes, I couldn't begin to imagine. Without a body ID they are also like a missing person which is endless.
I just found out that the man died in 2022, it is sad to know that he left this world without being able to recover the remains of his son, but it is comforting to know that perhaps there is a possibility that they were found in the afterlife... RIP!!!
Damn 😔
And that it was Scott who came to greet his father to the otherside. I'm sure they hugged for so long 😇🤍😇
💔💔💔
Oh no 😢that is so sad 😞 … he died without them finding any remains of his beloved son … heartbreaking 💔
💔
If I was a father to a son like yours I would be the proudest father alive. You raised an angel, sir.
You go to work on a beautiful morning, and you end up in pieces without ever being found or identified, worst ending of a life
No, the worst ending of a life is taking a bunch of innocent people down with you.
That poor father; my heart just goes out to him.
What I would like to see each year on TV is to show the pictures of EVERYONE that died in those attackS. A picture of everyone. I don’t care how long it would take. A picture or short video of the victim - maybe where they worked, a brief history of the Person -- so that we don’t forget them. It very well could have been you or me in that building.
Or we could see a photo of every innocent person in the middle east blown up by US drones , we'd be watching a lot longer.
I agree Ben. There is just no end to the amount of misery and destruction human beings cause. I often wonder how I am part of the human species.
Yes
As much as I'd love that, we never will. There were possibly up to hundreds of undocumented people who were killed in those attacks, they will never be named or shown alongside the other victims.
Absolutely brilliant idea. Shame they haven't thought of that.
It’s crazy that it’s been 23 years and it still feels like yesterday. I wonder how many families are still searching for answers 😔❤️❤️
22 years later and it still hurts. 😢
Quite a few families, I would wager. There are the missing from our many wars for whom there is no grave for the families to visit. Even now, the residents of Maui in Hawaii are sifting through the still warm ashes of hundreds who were basically cremated.😢
Yes I agree! I remember every minute of that day ,where I was and what i was doing and most importantly how I felt.
23 years. I was in fifth grade when that happened. To this day, and really every year I just think how insane it is that something this horrific happened. Not just in our country but literally anywhere. Using airplanes (large ones) going 600 mph with people in it to ram into buildings standing hundreds of feet in the air. Then to have them collapse while people are still inside or leaning out the windows trying to get air or waving their arms if they can to show they are alive and need help. Then hearing stories about kids, probably my age, who lost both parents in this attack. Makes me sad...but yet so thankful for life.
Lost 4 friends all are still missing
What an outstanding father. I hope he and his wife find peace someday.
Made me wanna hug him
Friends, I'm talking by looking at the military developments in the world, Russia is saying that the Ukrainian war is getting worse and worse from me! Sweden's joining Nato has increased the fire even more! America is not standing still, it is constantly sending weapons, missile air defense systems to Europe! Buy physical gold with all your strength or buy ounces of gold, get away from paper money immediately! Convert your virtual coins in the bank to physical ones immediately, this is an opportunity! Hurry up, let everyone know!
Arkadaşlar dünyadaki askeri gelişmelere bakarak konuşuyorum Rusya Ukrayna savaşı gittikçe kötüye gidiyor benden demesi! İsveçin Natoya katılması yangını dahada büyüttü! Amerika yerinde durmuyor sürekli Avrupa'ya silah füze hava savunma sistemleri gönderiyor! Bütün gücünüzle fiziki altin alın veya onss altin alın kağıt paralardan hemen uzaklaşın! Bankada duran sanal paralarınızı hemen fizikiye çevirin fırsat bu fırsat! Herkese haber ver,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
He died in 2022 I believe
I can’t even imagine how they feel. Not only did they lose a loved one, they don’t have a body to mourn. 😔
It’s sad to realise that some off the victims may have been vaporised intstantly as the planes crashed into the buildings. imagine being alive one second then in less than 1 second turned into atoms.
Given what a lot of people had to endure that day, being vaporised like that would be a blessing...though not for the families left behind I'm sure.
The airplane can't vaporize things but something else can !
@@Antoine-619 the high fuel
It’s horrible to see each one of those planes right before they went in the towers. One second they’re alive and then the next second they’re gone. How come people have so much disregard for human life.
It’s harder for the Loved Ones who are left behind, really really difficult with No closure No goodbyes, some regrets and what if’s .....that’s how I feel. Shock. All you do to console yourself is The Knowledge They No Longer Suffer are in a Better Place.
20 years later they have just identified the 1,646th and 1,647th victims of that day.
They found Dorothy Morgan's remains in 2001. The gentleman's identify is behing withheld by request of the family, but his were found 2001,2002, 2006. How horrible.
Theu were able to identify them just a couple days before the 20th anniversary.
How heart breaking for their families know Dorothy's daughter always held out hope. Hoping her mom just had amnesia.
They have yet to identify 40% of the victims
Another tragedy, the 1944 circus fire in Hartford, Connecticut, had a similar outcome. Some of those who went missing were never identified as some of the bodies of those trapped in the big top as it burned down around them were too badly damaged. Loved ones who did not have a body to bury held out hope that their missing loved one wasn't really dead, but had suffered a head injury and wandered off, amnesiac. They spent their whole lives hoping. Human nature is like that.
My friend was one of those lost and unrecovered from the south tower. It leaves an unclosed wound for the family, and no sense of closure. Hopefully these new advancements will one day give everyone peace if she’s found.
So very sorry.
It's been another 10+ years since this video... god bless those who continue to identify victims
God, please wrap your arms around the victims and their families. Please give them peace and comfort in this horrible attacks 😢
May Scott rest in peace
who the hell was he anyway?
Hamid Sharif his first name is may?
Steve Burrus sut up
Hamid Sharif xx
Steve Burrus
He was a young man who was loved by family and friends. He put his life on the line everyday at work. I'm confident that he would have saved yours, too, if the opportunity had presented itself.
Sir I'm so sorry for the loss of your son. I hope you get some news of identification soon. Patricia
RIP Scott. God bless all the victims and their family
It's sad because most people will never be found do to the fact that the tower technically became a crematory when the fire was burning
even if they identify all of the remains in the future, the sad fact is many families never received remains because nothing was found. The theory is some bodies were VAPORIZED in the attacks.
Gary M k
Jim Johnson perfect response. 👍
people were breathing in the bodies in the months afterwards
MusicBlastingPsycho the Pentagon was quite different than the World Trade Center. Yes it does happen. Perhaps you should do some research on such things before making assinine comments such as the one you just made.
Well, I'm not pretty sure of what could happen to a body if hundreds of floors collapses on it and keep burning for months... I would not be so sure to adfirm that "they weren't vaporized from a building falling over", that's it.
19 years and two days later, this still breaks my heart and makes me cry. This is just sad and horrible.
20 years this year.
20 years now
We come back to these videos because I truly feel the souls of those who were lost are trying to reach out to us to show us something or help us find something.
I wish I could tell the families that have not had a body identified, that even though they don’t have the body, that they are watching over you and want to know that they love you and care about you. They would want you to be happy.
Very nice comment.
A beautiful sentiment.
Can only imagine the pain😪
"Human tissue fused into debri" "Human bones shards into pieces" that's really gruesome
Wolf Kotto well what do you expect a sugar coated lollipop ?
@@noneya189 no, just hearing the description is surprising, even when the obvious is already known.
Debris
Wow...I wanna hear more
@Kristopher Dowd tf?
I’m so incredibly sorry sir. I’ll pray that you’ll see your son again some day !! ❤🙏😞🇺🇸
I hope this mother and father find peace. That is a beautiful memorial garden.
Awwwwwwwwwwww. What a good Devoted Dad.
All of them victims and no bodies so sad. Never forget
I hope they find their information cuz they deserve to be remembered❤️may Scott rip❤️everyone rest from that horrible day
imagine turning down funeral services to a family that lost their kid in this tragedy
I hope they can find something to help ease even the tiniest amount of pain Scott's poor family must live through daily.
I watched the Documentary with this family. They found enough to identify him and release the remain to his family for a proper burial..
So glad I found an update! Thank goodness they were able to bring peace to his families hearts!
What’s the documentary called?
that’s good
I couldn’t find anything that said his remains were found, but hopefully it’s true.
almost 23 years later, they are still trying to indetify the victims..so sad
1100 were never found. All these years later we will never forget you.
More than that. Pentagon had people never found
but why ? did all people got burned to ashes ?
@@giulietta-1555 Think about it. Steel got melted and destroyed, a human body had no chance. They were pulverised, by the energy of the collapse.
@@mrchode3641 the energy of the callapse? An organic collapse doesn't turn humans into microscopic pieces I'm sorry
@@giulietta-1555 yes. Burned, crushed, and pulverized. There were some bodies but most parts were tiny peicez and some were identified through belongings, such as jewelry, not body parts
For those on the aircraft and the storey of the building it hit must have been instance.Those aircraft were full of fuel and travelling at over 400 mph each.I saw the trade centre towers back in 97 and were huge and impressive. They were engineered to take a hit from a 707 but on take off or landing and much slower .The very fact they took the hits they did was incredible but the intense fuel fire caused the floor slab pins to fail.It will stay in my mind till my time is due.
I can't begin to Fathom what this Man and others in this situation are affected. His Son was a #Hero #NeverForget.🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾💔💔💔
My heart goes out to this mom and dad
What i find amazing is teenagers today making fun of the attacks of September 11th. In their comments on Tiktok, in their memes. So disrespectful.
I know, frustrating.
Then wonder why nobody likes their generation. I sure don't.
I remember our neighbor was identified 6 months later and all they found was a tiny piece of his firefighters helmet.
My heart cries for you all. I could never forget all who perished that day and the horror we all witnessed. I pray for you all every day and pray you can all find peace. May God be with every one of you.
With the amount of heat in the building that day and collapse it’s impossible to figure out who’s who.
according to judy melinek, author of working stiff, they never found whole bodies. they sometimes found body parts fused into the body parts of others. so dna was the only way to identify them. pieces that are too small or too degraded cannot be identified by dna so they remain in storage until the technology improves.
To this day from what I knw my cousin on United Airlines Flight 175 tht crashed into the second tower .. my cousin Jesus Sanchez is still missing … it’s heartbreaking knowing my cousin was never recovered .. family loves n misses primo
My deepest sympathy to the families for their loss 20 years ago.
He never got to see his son thats heartbreaking
My heart goes out to all.
God Bless You Man and the other families. All the service men and women. Even citizens who did and tried to help other. Thank you for your service!😢❤🇱🇷
Bless them for this. I can’t imagine a job that is whole hell of a lot more important than this. Thank you for doing this for those that were murdered that day and their families. 🙏🏻
It’s 10:00a.m. 9/11/24. I remember so vividly!! Bless to all who lost their lives and the loved ones who had to endure such horrific loss I mourn for everyone R.I.P
It tears at his heart that he can't put a his son in the ground.
with all that molten metal deep within that train wreck, no wonder bodies were never found...
Most of the people who died in the WTC attack were above/in the impacts or in the planes. They ID'ed 1/2 the people[so far], mostly the FD and PD who were actual bodies under the collapse. The plane and floors of impact victims were blasted to smithereens for sure. I'll bet the people they can't ID are the ones 5 or 7 floors above the impacts that roasted in that 800 degree inferno for an hour. and are charred bits of bone. The 200 jumpers were a puddle covered with 100k tons of dust and stuff. Sorry to be so gruesome, but terror is ugly and shows no mercy. It is possible I suppose that maybe a couple of people said ' well everyone thinks I was at work and died, so I can start a new life somewhere else'. Maybe.
How sad 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
wiibaron there weren't likely many people that burned to death though, seeing as how there were many phone calls coming from floors barely above the impact zone. The reason we have about 40% is because of the people that were blasted into bits on the planes and impact zones as you said, and likely due to the essential disintegration some bodies were said to have gone through.
Some of the jumpers were taken away before the collapse.
Well. From what I heard it was 2,000 degrees. Almost 3 times 800 degrees.
Exactly what i was thinking. Dont apologize that’s reality
My deepest sympathies to you sir.
GOD BLESS YOU SIR 🙏🏻To Your Son, and You.. Thank You for Your Service 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Our Hearts Still Break for All the Lives Lost💔🌹
This poor father died in 2022 😔😓🙏
@@sallygard63 I’m So Sorry Sallygard 😒🙏🏻
@@debraroberts7291 I know … it’s so sad 😞
Absolutely horrendous. The world should and will never forget.
they are still finding bone fragments on roofs, airducts, windows... some people might come across a piece and not realize what it is
Its 2023. Someone please tell me this man found at least a PIECE of his son.
He died in 2022 not having found his son’s remains.
“the fragments that are found are already people who have been identified” That so sad to just keep getting pieces back of your loved one. And to truly never be able to lay them to rest.😢
Man, I feel for the families who's relatives have not been identified....Twenty years now...Every one will be accounted for.
My heart goes out to EVERY single person...animal...who went through this. i CANNOT even begin to imaggine...no words whatsoever. But NYC is made of a TOUGH bunch of humans....NEW YORK TOUGH. Rest in Eternal peace. Gone but NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN. I had just gotten off my 12 hour shift as an ER RN in Missouri...sat down to eat breakfast and watch the news and i saw it on TV not in person. and that day is engraved in my head...my heart...my soul...even 23 years later. Peace to all. 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
Thank you for this service trying to help loved ones, who are waiting for their loved ones remains, god bless you all in your work ❤x
his son was so beautiful, may his soul rest in peace.
💕
Still thinking of all the people who have lost loved ones that have no evidence. I couldn’t even imagine the pain. Rest in Peace to the victims
Very sad... 🙁🙁🙁
No words can ever explain what Scots father had gone through since losing his son😔
Lost 4 friends all 4 are still missing.
I would love to see the dad now in 2021. Did they find something?! My heart is broken for everyone that was involved in this tragic day.
right? i need an update:(
That father's pain breaks my heart.
Poor man. I want to hug him.
There is such EVIL in this world! ... It's incredibly sad.
To all those who believe in God, I say, "Where was your God, THAT day?"
R.I.P. to all those innocent souls, who lost their lives on that fateful day! ❤️
I still can’t imagine that, I saw one news story of a women who’s husband died in one of the towers and the only thing they found was his heart!! And i can’t even imagine how it was to have to recover that! 💔💔 R.I.P to all the victims
I love you Scott angel 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God Bless you darling from South Africa 🇿🇦🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
To find a word that will convey the sadness in my heart for your lost and sorrow is not possible. This word just doesn’t exist. iI believe we will all meet and rejoice in a better place one day. For this I pray 🙏
22 years later, two more victims were identified today.
Absolutely gut-wrenching…💔💔💔
Another decade and they are still at it. Still identifying bodies to this day
Your son is with Jesus! God Bless you!
Farin Seiler Jesus wouldn't have let this happen.
@@AnonURnot true the ones that did this didn't have JESUS in their lives .
Our bodies are temporary...Our spirits live on...
Amanda Imhoff is Sin the product of free will?
Tony H yep.
What’s amazing to me is to think about how much stuff was on every single floor of those buildings. From office papers to personal objects from all of the workers. Art work , rare collectibles, just stuff that had been collected there for decades. And think about everything in the restaurants in the building. Tons of food and stuff that these amazing people sifted through to find out whether they were human remains or animal bone. I’m beyond impressed that they have accomplished what they have. They never let a defeatist attitude overcome them. God bless these people , all of the families and all of the victims of that deceptively beautiful day in September. We will never forget it.
Rest In Peace
Those 2,000 people
And the other haft
Who will never be
Identified
Good job narrating over the guy sharing his first-hand experience.
God bless you and all you do to help people find closure
Your dedication makes me proud.
I hope they all get the closure they need 😔 I wonder how many more were identified 20yrs later?
Sometimes religion can be so uncompromising. You can't bury an empty casket? Come on now. Sometimes there is no body for heaven sake.
Jon Dishmon Music and STUFF!! No, no, no!!!!
You are a sad person.
As an atheist myself, I wouldnt want someone to bury just a casket. It doesnt make pragmatic sense
Tony H i get he wants something but it does seem weird that hes waiting for a fingertip or something to show up so he can finally bury him
Rich you would visit say a box with a thumb in it?
They may be physically gone, but their spirit will always always be with their loved ones. They were and still am loved by so many and with that love, they never truly dies. Rest assured, We will all meet again on the other side. I hope that poor father knows that his son will always be with him.
Humans are really so fragile
Wasn't there like two victims identified just a couple days ago?
This was posted 11 years ago. Are they still searching?
Observations that are strange:
The lab tech wearing sequins and large dangly earrings.
The sign on the door that says wash your hands before leaving. (Ya think?)
20 years later 🌆🗽🇺🇲 #neverforget
How much closure does one really get from a few bits of body parts to bury? As long as I know my loved ones died and know what happened to them then I don’t think I’d get much closure even if their remains were found. I feel like people hold onto that as a last shred of hope but it never materializes, even if they get a piece they’d probably want more or just finally accept there’s no closure to be had.
How Unchristian to deny a grieving family in this horrific and tragic event to be able to have a religious burial... ugh.
I always wear a sequined top and dangly earrings when working in the lab.
hopefully a big mask over your face
We will never forget!❤️🇺🇸
RIP to all the victims and their families.
God bless these family’s I still pray for them 🙏🏼 😔
Me remembering my grandma was in the world trade center in the august of 2001 😟☹️
God bless that father and his son.🥺
OH my goodness this is really sad
This must be one of the hardest jobs in the world. God bless them. Rip
