@@kabirconsiders Thank you, Kabir. We have glaring flaws and challenges. I have honest, sharp criticisms. We have had periods of shameful, unspeakable cruelty. We have also had periods of glorious achievement and magnanimity. On balance, I believe the good far outweighs the bad.
Fun fact, I was in boot camp for the US Air Force when this happened. We got woken up by screaming, yelling and cheering. The most unreal moment in my life.
I was a grunt Marine in the back of a C-17 on my way out of Afghanistan into Kyrgyzstan at the end of my first deployment. Incredible atmosphere in that plane when the captain announced the news to us.
You gotta understand the nuance of the President calling for a press conference that late at night. It's extremely rare, and is either something amazing or something terrible. So this shows what it was like at the game, but it doesn't show that this was nationwide. Cars were honking their horns in my neighborhood when Obama finally talked. It was surreal.
@@kabirconsiders Even J.Cole wrote a lyric about how when Bin Laden was killed "It was like Lebron James had scored at the buzzer, people were high fiveing each other."
I remember listening to an interview with President Obama about this. He spoke with the seal team and asked them, when they found Bin Laden hiding in his bedroom, which one of them had made the shot? They said, “ All of us Sir”.
The prog filth traitor vermin socialist leftist scum inside this country are just as big a threat as any outside adversary. They must be eradicated by Patriots.
You were very respectful and mature about the situation. As an American, this is a very touchy subject. It blows my mind that people from the UK are supportive, so I’ll hit the sub.
Did you see what Her Majesty the Queen did on 9/13? ua-cam.com/video/ToECtXPMvNM/v-deo.html EDIT: Here is some interesting Wikipedia stuff. Lots of good stuff to know. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactions_to_the_September_11_attacks
Thanks brother ☺️ the U.K. (and the West) absolutely needs a strong US right now, we’re facing such complex and serious threats nowadays. We’ve got your back!
@@kabirconsiders Exactly. The U.S and the U.K have a very special relationship. Despite all the divides and differences in opinions we have always had each other’s backs. We established diplomatic relations in 1785, only 2 years after Great Britain recognized the U.S as our own country in 1783. Yes there’s been dark times like the war of 1812 but we’ve always recovered relations with one another. We are each other’s closest allies. When something serious affects one country it also affects the other. We’ve fought together brother by brother in many wars like both world wars despite the U.S late entry we supported the U.K with food and weapons. We made NATO together. We’ve fought together during the Korean war, and Afghanistan, and still to this day when it comes to global problems we consult one another. Our countries are very important to each other and we share a lot like a common langue even though it’s spoken a bit differently we’re still both English predominant speaking counties, we share media, and trade. Our countries are very alike and our friendship will most likely be eternal.
The chanting of USA will forever give me goose bumps . I was a sophomore in high school on 9/11. My school had almost 1,900 students. During passing time between classes the halls were completely silent. All we did that day was watch the news. I saw the second plane hit live on the news. The way America came together after 9/11 and looked out for each other and were so patriotic. Religion, political stance, gender, LBGTQ+, ethnicity did NOT matter. I miss those days I hope we can come together again like that. God Bless America. Random, but I’m brand new to your channel and I’m not aware of where in the UK you live, but have you ever been to the Ely cathedral?
My grandpa was in one of the towers the day before the attack & he was a block away when the attack happened. My aunt was a flight attendant on the East coast at the time. I still remember my dad calling my mom freaking out and asking her to call them and check on them. When I was watching that game & the news was broken I had this feeling I’ll never be able to explain. God Bless America 🇺🇸
My aunt was a flight attendant on an international flight that got routed to Canada. My dad was in crystal city & could feel the pentagon hit. I was a senior in high school in a military city. It was an insane day.
Growing up in America post 9/11 was crazy, especially in school. I remember how scary it was when our teachers told us that there were terrorists out there that would kill you for no apparent reason, and you seemingly can't traditionally fight them. Schools in the US usually have a moment of silence every year on 9/11, and the day is pretty somber. Elementary schools usually focus on educating the younger kids on what happened while watching videos on it. American kids also have to start learning about school shootings and participate in drills to know what to do in case of a school shooter, which was eerie because at the same time we were told that if your school gets shot up it's most likely going through be one of your own peers. Have you ever seen American PSAs on School Shooters? Pretty crazy that it's such an issue in our country while Europe and other countries don't have the same issue or at least as bad
Imagine being an 18 year old kid, 3 months into your military enlistment and suddenly your country is under attack. It was a weird time,I didn't know wtf to expect. I just wanted to be around airplanes lol. So strange looking back now and realizing just how much it changed your life.
Presidential news conferences happen quite a bit. Ad-hoc or conferences not pre-announced are rare indeed. As an American and a life long NY Met fan I remember feeling pride, but also feeling saddened and very angry all over again. Just watching this I still feel that anger and sorrow for all of those lives lost. Yet, we can all look back on a time when this country felt and acted in concert. One great nation, indivisible. THAT part breaks my heart.
I’ve watched this ESPN piece before, but it was a really interesting watch from your perspective. I love that it was the Mets playing that night; in the first games back after the attacks, then-catcher Mike Piazza hit a home run, and for the first time in weeks, New York had something to cheer about. I was a junior in college living six blocks from the White House on 9/11. I saw the Pentagon burning from the rooftop of my apartment building. There was a mad rush to get the hell out of the city, and afterwards, I’d never heard DC quiet like that before, and probably never will again. It was just this eerie, weighted silence. The next week, there were military personnel on every street corner. My now-wife and I had just left the DC metro area literally the day before the raid, and she woke me up to watch the announcement. Had we been there, we would have gone to the White House to celebrate. It was a sense of disbelief, joy, finality, and a prayer that perhaps the families of the 9/11 victims not only found some sort of vindication or peace or whatever they needed, and knew we’d never forgotten them. Very cool video. Thanks.
In times like these, I love how people pull together. On 9/11, my parent's neighbor was touring France and was in Paris that day with her friend. Americans in France aren't always the easiest of tourist type relationships. But as she and her friend were waiting for their tour group, passers-by realized from their jovial behavior that they knew nothing of what had just transpired at home. The French people around them told them to call home immediately to hear the news from family. Afterwards they were able to share concerns and fears with one another. As flights were grounded and reopening airports was a nightmare, the women, like many other Americans were stranded there in France, but were taken in for several days by complete strangers, until they were able to secure passage home. Why can't we find some of that compassion now from our own people at home?
I was 11 years old when the news that we got him broke, and I was sitting in the living room with my parents. My mom legitimately cried and we were so glad that he had been brought down that we were screaming and eyes glued on the TV.
He was such a coward, and in the end didn’t even try to fight back. We would have never stopped until we did. I love my country and our soldiers. RIP Guys we got him ❤️🇺🇸
Had an AK and a plate carrier in his room, no round chambered and he chose to use his wife as cover. That shows you the type of individual we were dealing with there. Happy to send others in to die in their Jihad, but when the chips are down and it’s their turn to be martyr they puss out.
9/11 was an inside job and Bin Laden wasn't killed that day. It was all a show. Funny, how they never showed the video or his body. I remember the fake Osama videos that went up during the Bush years and early Obama years. He most likely died because he was on dialysis but you need an enemy to keep funding wars.
I've never seen celebrations like this before or since. It was a very special day for us Americans. The level of national ecstasy and pride was palpable.
For a guy that’s British almost getting emotional about this says a lot about how ppl not only in America but also around the world and how hard this hit the world
September 11, 2001. I was in high school. The school stayed open, through most of the teachers ended up not teaching that day. They just had the TV on the news, to the point where you were sick of hearing about it. Right before lunch I was at my locker and they evacuated the building. Someone had called in a bomb threat. I left the locker door wide open. When I got home I watched Dragonball Z.
I was in 7th grade. Our teachers did the same thing. We sat and watched the news all day. Being 12 years old even I understood that all hell was breaking loose and it was on.
"That stadium looks packed." Yes, considering the relative short distance between NY & Philly, there were quite a few NY Mets fans in the stadium. Where 9/11 was the modern era's version of Pearl Harbor, May 1, 2011 was the equivalent to the 1980 Winter Olympics hockey game, the US vs USSR, in terms of the unity of national emotion throughout the country. That night, at that moment, there were no Phillies fans, there were no Mets fans, ... there were patriotic Americans. Yeah, I still get teary-eyed watching the video of that night. It was just ... incredible.
I remember I was at my grandma’s with my parents and grandparents. Earlier in the day, we had heard rumors that Bin Laden had been hunted down and killed. Yet it was rumors and it was all over the news. It was then finally that Obama came out on National TV and said he was gone. I’m happily from New York and still live here. The energy throughout the town was just crazy. Neighbors cheering, some crying, but all were reacting to this. Everyone in my town lost somebody or had been directly impacted by 9/11. So the news definitely brought a form of closure.
I was 11 when we this happened and I remember it like it was yesterday. Even as a kid, I knew just how monumental and important this was. The patriotism in the air in the weeks following this was practically tangible.
September 12th 2001 - the last day America was truly United as one. Then we saw a little bit of unity when we got Bin Laden. Today America is torn and divided and it’s extremely saddening.
I was at the chiefs vs giants game the first one after 9/11. I was scared. But I wasn't going to let them win. At least with me. This video still makes me choke up. You handled it brilliantly. Thank you for covering that. Now review something that doesn't make me ball like a baby
I had been to the top of the World Trade Center & I remember just how Massive those towers were so when I saw the first plane hit the North tower I thought to myself "that is no Accident"! My worst fears were confirmed 20 minutes later when the second tower was hit. I have nothing but praise for our Military and for President Obama for keeping his promise to get Bin Laden.
I live in New Jersey. Im only about 2 hours or so away from NYC. When the shit went down, my 9 year old self saw people rushing out of town/state because they had family in New York and needed to be with them, or sadly sometimes, needed to bury them. And i saw just as many people rushing in. Because no one really knew what was going to happen next. And some people in New York had family here, and needed to be somewhere "not as important," for a while. I was 9. And as much as the adults didnt like to admit it, my age group understood death. We understood that people can hate, and hate hard. We may not have understood the machinations and history that bred this hate. But we could understand the cause and effect of extreme hatred and mass murder. It was scary, not because we didnt known what was happening, but because we understood the chilling nature of what happened, and looking to the adults for assurance, they clearly werent entirely sure what was going to happen. And because we were so close, we understood how quickly it could spread to us if something bigger happened. I was 18 when bin Laden was gunned down. I was in my senior year, and summer was coming. Id be leaving my hometown for college in a few months, and id sort of figured myself out. I do not like to cheer or celebrate the death of anyone. No matter how evil. By that point in my life, i knew this about myself. I could be happy the evil they did was gone, and be hopeful for the future. But id never celebrate the death itself. It just felt wrong to me. Bin Laden was the exception. Not that i think what he did makes him significantly more evil than any other human who's done evil. And not that he, alone, committed all these acts. His comrades, his legacy, and his machinations would still exist, even if his own evil contributions died eith him. But after almost 10 years of living with the effects of 9/11, im not ashamed to say i broke my own rule. I celebrated. I cried tears of relief. I toasted to justice and the wellbeing of the team that took him down. Im not particularly aggressive or overly outspoken in my patriotism. Im proud of my country, despite her many flaws, but im very cognizant of those flaws, and chsnnel my efforts and zeal into betterment, rather than screaming about how American i am. But i was unabashedly screaming into the chorus of "God Bless America," "Im Proud to be an American," "U S A," and many other songs and chants. It was a bizarre day. But its a day I'll never forget.
I went to The White House that night it was announced they got him. It was an amazing experience. My husband is military and on 9-11 I was in a teenage fire department training (fire explorers). I was so hit when the towers fell and heard all the personal alarms of the fallen Fire Fighters makes me sick every time I hear it.
I was in high school when 9/11 happened. I don't remember when it was between my 1st period and 2nd period class, or my 2nd and 3rd. But, I do know it was Spanish. When I walked into the room, the teacher already had the TV turned on to the news, showing the first plane hitting the tower. That was pretty much all we did that day was watch the coverage and discuss what was happening. I also remember, throughout the day, periodically hearing military planes or helicopters flying over the school.
I was 18 and had been in the air force for 3 months. I was training to be an air traffic controller and 911 was my first day on the tower simulator. So many images from that day ingrained in my memory. It's so weird when something is happening and you tell yourself "I'll remember this exact moment forever" and 20 years later it's still there like yesterday. The day of 9/11 is by far that biggest moment for me.
As an American I was online on my PS3 and in the middle of my game PlayStation put a message across my screen saying “we got bin laden” and as a kid even I knew how special it was I’ll never forget that day 💪🖤🔥
@@kabirconsiders Always! There's just so much that I, (and likely all of your subs) want to share with you! Another 9/11 video that is ABSOLUTELY incredible is, 'Boatlift - An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience.' It is very respectful, not gory or anything like that and sheds light on such a incredible event that happened, that most people don't know about. Even Americans! I didn't know about it until like 2 or 3 years ago. It's a beautifully told story of resiliency, unity, selflessness, humanity, tragedy and strength. The video is on UA-cam and it's about 12 minutes long. You can find it using the title I provided above. I'm sure you have PLENTY on your list already so there's another you can add, if you'd like! 😂 I'd certainly appreciate it and really think you would enjoy it. 🧡 This video and the 9/11 Boatlift video make me emotional & give me chills EVERY time I see them! Thank you for always being so kind! You're the best! 😊
I was a school teacher at the time of the 9/11 attacks. We were all so devastated. Anyway, when Osama was finally annihilated, I felt thrilled. President Obama did it! I voted for him twice. In my lifetime, he’s been our greatest leader. And…New York won that night! It’s fitting! ♥️💕♥️
I cannot express the mount of emotions that flowed when that was announced. It was hard and devastating to watch 9/11 happen and knowing there was nothing you could do, and let alone being young. I was in college when this happened and my school always had a lot of issues with the war, but when this happened, we all yelled together. We all cried together, and we all hugged each other. One of the most emotional times in my life.
911 was definitely a day that changed the world, the US and myself. I may have joined the military anyways, but 911 definitely set the tone for me joining the military.
I was at this game for my 9th birthday. I was kinda confused as to what was going on but it was absolutely amazing to experience. Never felt that kind of atmosphere before or since then.
For Americans his death meant so much. 9/11 affected all of us. No one was spared from that event. And to finally get him, it was an amazing moment of unity in a country that is known for not always agreeing with itself.
Loved your reaction to this. If you want MORE chills look up The Bruins hockey game after the Boston Bombing. As a man from New Hampshire and the New England area. That video always hits home to me
I can't remember where I was when I heard the news because I had my young son at the time that I come from a long line of military and we couldn't have been happier to hear that that man had a lot of people and I lost some friends in the war hearing that made me feel a little better
I was in 3rd grade when Sept. 11th happened. I came down to eat breakfast but my mom was crying. At that moment the 2nd plane hit. I went to school and they had counseling and alot of kids weren't there.
Agree. They could have just made the announcement between innings, given everyone including the players 15-20 minutes to celebrate, and then wrapped up. Oh, well.
The David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox, his speech for the Boston Marathon bombing and catching those responsible in 2013 is something you might wanna check out
I was watching this game but when it was announced there was a press conference I paid more attention to twitter and the news than I did the game. Wish I would have watched both
We were watching TV and when President Obama announced that Osama bin Laden was killed, I woke up my wife and said, "We got him." She instantly knew who I was talking about.
I wasnt born early enough to experience the day of the 9/11 attacks but I do remember EVERYONE and how they acted. I think I can speak for more than myself that there was an overwhelming sense of relief and validation.
@@kabirconsiders It's frustrating because we're made up of 3/4 patriots but we're being bought out. I fear the future is in China's methodical hands vs the U.S Navy.
If you can find it look up New York City, specifically Times Square, the night Bin Laden was killed. So many people showed up there it looked like New Year’s Eve. In every state somewhere people gathered to celebrate his death. Outside of the White House after the news was a huge crowd and a big celebration. I can honestly tell you every single American knows where we were when we heard the news. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I ever had.
Another fascinating thing about that night is that the previous evening President Obama attended the annual White House Correspondents Dinner. It’s an annual event for charity where a comedian roasts the press and the president and then the president has his turn to roast the press all in good natured fun. As this dinner took place Seal Team Six was already on their way to Abbottabad, Pakistan to perform their mission. Obama obviously knew what was to take place the next day but you could not tell from his demeanor. During comedian host Seth Meyer’s set he had made fun of Donald Trump who was in the audience. Then, in Obama’s set he mentioned Trump as well. Trump wasn’t so much a political figure at that time as he was a thorn in Obama’s side with crazy accusations about his birth certificate and such, though he was threatening to run for the office as he had previously done. Obama sarcastically stated that he was impressed by the important life altering decisions that Trump had to make on Celebrity Apprentice and that if he had to make decisions like that he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. All the while the initial stages of this monumental event as going down. After the dinner, Obama returned to the White House and the situation room where final decisions were made to carry on with the plans to implement the raid that successfully killed Enemy #1.
I remember those days so vividly. The morning of 9/11 will be forever ingrained into my memory. The week had already started off like shite, and that made a hard week already harder. Fast forward ten years - I am living in Italy with my wife and our Daughter. I woke up early AM the next day and opened up the news as I always do. Every single news outlet had been reporting his death. We got him. We finally got the son of a bitch! Now lets fast forward another 10 years. I am a contractor for the US Military. A co-worker and friend is also a USN Vet, such as myself were talking on a drive. The subject came up of which ships he was on. He told me that he was on the Aircraft Carrier that the SEAL Team took the body to. He said at the beginning, nobody knew what was going on. Logs were pulled. Email was shutoff, as well as ship to shore phones. It was only later that they were told of what happened. D said the energy on the ship was like nothing he had felt in the almost 12+ years he had been in the fleet. We finally came back together as a nation that evening. I really wish that momentum would have continued. But I damn sure don't ever want something like that to happen again to create unity.
Man we really need another moment of unification like this soon. If we could stop all the bullshit for one night maybe it’d start calming down a bit around here.
I will tell you as a Philly raised kid born just before 9/11 I remember this moment like it was yesterday. Us Phillies fans hate the Mets with a burning passion. This was the only game that Phillies fans don’t mind losing to them because the first MLB after 9/11 was at Shea stadium home of the the Mets in queens. It was a New York hard hit terror attack. Of course it was all across the nation but it was by far hit the hardest in NYC. Much more then Philly. The Mets should win that game
I'm from Arizona. In 2001, we (the AZ Diamondbacks) were playing in the World Series against the New York Yankees--and WON!! It was a HUGE deal for us, but as big a Diamondbacks fan as I was, as thrilled as I was to win, it was bittersweet. Part of me felt bad for NY that the Yankees lost. Talk about getting kicked when you're down.
Watching that game rooting for the Phillies of course cause ya know go yanks but that was one birthday I will never forget because of this game and seeing Bin Laden was killed made it so much more special
I still remember that night. I had school the following day so I was getting ready for bed when my parents called me and my brother into either the living room or their bedroom. And we watched Obama say we had finally ended the man responsible for over 2,990 deaths in a single day, and hundreds more ever since due to the toxic dust that was released. Everyone at school the next day was elated to hear that announcement over the intercom.
We watched second plane hit towers on the tv in our classrooms, they had combined rooms and had us just sitting around and teachers were consoling each other in hallways. Nobody thought anything about something else happening, they thought they were helping us by showing us the news as we waited for our families to make decisions to come get us or not but instead they hurt us badly as we watched it unfold and get worse and worse.
One of the things reported about the raid was a communication from one of the seals: Geronimo, Geronimo, for God and country Geronimo! (Geronimo was the code word.for mission success that night)
@@kabirconsiders My quick 9/11 story is that the person who got the job my dad had applied for at the Pentagon was killed instantly when the plane hit. He would also from work on projects there from time to time. Someone or something was watching out for him I think. My dad did see it hit while outside on a smoke break from where he was located. One last thing about that: The Pentagon butts right up against Arlington National Cemetery and there was a make shift memorial for months afterwards. Very eerie walking home from school having the sky completely quiet then having a flight of 4 fully laden F-16s scream past low and fast (they were fly CAP or combat air patrol). That day is part of the reason I enlisted.
I needed a little boost of patriotism so thank you for this. Countries going to hell in a handbasket so its nice to remember little moments like these. These will be good reminders when its all gone.
This was so heartwarming, but I lived through 9/11. Shrubs should not have pulled out most of the troops in Afghanistan to look for WMDs in Iraq. To this young guys and girls. It disappears....

Thanks brother ☺️ the U.K. (and the West) absolutely needs a strong US right now, we’re facing such complex and serious threats nowadays. We’ve got your back!
I can tell you the days after 911 most of the world were American. You honestly could have nuked Afghanistan and the world would have cheered.
No offence, but we are allies after all. 👍
@@kabirconsiders Exactly. The U.S and the U.K have a very special relationship. Despite all the divides and differences in opinions we have always had each other’s backs. We established diplomatic relations in 1785, only 2 years after Great Britain recognized the U.S as our own country in 1783. Yes there’s been dark times like the war of 1812 but we’ve always recovered relations with one another. We are each other’s closest allies. When something serious affects one country it also affects the other. We’ve fought together brother by brother in many wars like both world wars despite the U.S late entry we supported the U.K with food and weapons. We made NATO together. We’ve fought together during the Korean war, and Afghanistan, and still to this day when it comes to global problems we consult one another. Our countries are very important to each other and we share a lot like a common langue even though it’s spoken a bit differently we’re still both English predominant speaking counties, we share media, and trade. Our countries are very alike and our friendship will most likely be eternal.
10 years later and I still get goose bumps! I love my country! 🇺🇸
I bet it was an incredible day to be in the USA ☺️
The chanting of USA will forever give me goose bumps . I was a sophomore in high school on 9/11. My school had almost 1,900 students. During passing time between classes the halls were completely silent. All we did that day was watch the news. I saw the second plane hit live on the news. The way America came together after 9/11 and looked out for each other and were so patriotic. Religion, political stance, gender, LBGTQ+, ethnicity did NOT matter. I miss those days I hope we can come together again like that. God Bless America.
Random, but I’m brand new to your channel and I’m not aware of where in the UK you live, but have you ever been to the Ely cathedral?
My grandpa was in one of the towers the day before the attack & he was a block away when the attack happened. My aunt was a flight attendant on the East coast at the time. I still remember my dad calling my mom freaking out and asking her to call them and check on them. When I was watching that game & the news was broken I had this feeling I’ll never be able to explain. God Bless America 🇺🇸
Your grandpa and aunt were okay right? The atmosphere in the US must have been surreal that night!
My aunt was a flight attendant on an international flight that got routed to Canada. My dad was in crystal city & could feel the pentagon hit. I was a senior in high school in a military city. It was an insane day.
Growing up in America post 9/11 was crazy, especially in school. I remember how scary it was when our teachers told us that there were terrorists out there that would kill you for no apparent reason, and you seemingly can't traditionally fight them. Schools in the US usually have a moment of silence every year on 9/11, and the day is pretty somber. Elementary schools usually focus on educating the younger kids on what happened while watching videos on it. American kids also have to start learning about school shootings and participate in drills to know what to do in case of a school shooter, which was eerie because at the same time we were told that if your school gets shot up it's most likely going through be one of your own peers. Have you ever seen American PSAs on School Shooters? Pretty crazy that it's such an issue in our country while Europe and other countries don't have the same issue or at least as bad
Imagine being an 18 year old kid, 3 months into your military enlistment and suddenly your country is under attack. It was a weird time,I didn't know wtf to expect. I just wanted to be around airplanes lol. So strange looking back now and realizing just how much it changed your life.
That is a very intense rivalry. It is amazing to see them all happy together. Thank you!
Presidential news conferences happen quite a bit. Ad-hoc or conferences not pre-announced are rare indeed. As an American and a life long NY Met fan I remember feeling pride, but also feeling saddened and very angry all over again. Just watching this I still feel that anger and sorrow for all of those lives lost. Yet, we can all look back on a time when this country felt and acted in concert. One great nation, indivisible. THAT part breaks my heart.
Those times of unity will return mate, everything is cyclical!
I’ve watched this ESPN piece before, but it was a really interesting watch from your perspective. I love that it was the Mets playing that night; in the first games back after the attacks, then-catcher Mike Piazza hit a home run, and for the first time in weeks, New York had something to cheer about. I was a junior in college living six blocks from the White House on 9/11. I saw the Pentagon burning from the rooftop of my apartment building. There was a mad rush to get the hell out of the city, and afterwards, I’d never heard DC quiet like that before, and probably never will again. It was just this eerie, weighted silence. The next week, there were military personnel on every street corner. My now-wife and I had just left the DC metro area literally the day before the raid, and she woke me up to watch the announcement. Had we been there, we would have gone to the White House to celebrate. It was a sense of disbelief, joy, finality, and a prayer that perhaps the families of the 9/11 victims not only found some sort of vindication or peace or whatever they needed, and knew we’d never forgotten them. Very cool video. Thanks.
Thanks so much mate :) sounds like you’ve got some unforgettable memories from that time period
In times like these, I love how people pull together.
On 9/11, my parent's neighbor was touring France and was in Paris that day with her friend. Americans in France aren't always the easiest of tourist type relationships. But as she and her friend were waiting for their tour group, passers-by realized from their jovial behavior that they knew nothing of what had just transpired at home. The French people around them told them to call home immediately to hear the news from family. Afterwards they were able to share concerns and fears with one another. As flights were grounded and reopening airports was a nightmare, the women, like many other Americans were stranded there in France, but were taken in for several days by complete strangers, until they were able to secure passage home.
Why can't we find some of that compassion now from our own people at home?
I remember that night so well. The shock, the good cry, then an overwhelming happiness and excitement!! God Bless The USA.....
Such a momentous night!
I was a senior in high school. The next morning everyone was so energetic. It just felt different.
Feels like a different county back then compared to the one we live in just 10 years later.. makes me sad we went backwards since then.
I was 11 years old when the news that we got him broke, and I was sitting in the living room with my parents. My mom legitimately cried and we were so glad that he had been brought down that we were screaming and eyes glued on the TV.
I remember I was in 5th grade when this happened and the next day all the kids were dancing in the halls definitely a great moment in history
Wow, the atmosphere across the nation must have been pretty awesome
He was such a coward, and in the end didn’t even try to fight back. We would have never stopped until we did. I love my country and our soldiers. RIP Guys we got him ❤️🇺🇸
Had an AK and a plate carrier in his room, no round chambered and he chose to use his wife as cover. That shows you the type of individual we were dealing with there. Happy to send others in to die in their Jihad, but when the chips are down and it’s their turn to be martyr they puss out.
9/11 was an inside job and Bin Laden wasn't killed that day. It was all a show. Funny, how they never showed the video or his body. I remember the fake Osama videos that went up during the Bush years and early Obama years. He most likely died because he was on dialysis but you need an enemy to keep funding wars.
I've never seen celebrations like this before or since. It was a very special day for us Americans. The level of national ecstasy and pride was palpable.
For a guy that’s British almost getting emotional about this says a lot about how ppl not only in America but also around the world and how hard this hit the world
September 11, 2001. I was in high school. The school stayed open, through most of the teachers ended up not teaching that day. They just had the TV on the news, to the point where you were sick of hearing about it. Right before lunch I was at my locker and they evacuated the building. Someone had called in a bomb threat. I left the locker door wide open. When I got home I watched Dragonball Z.
Great choice with the DBZ mate! Do you remember which episode/saga it was?
My favorite arc was the Cell Games. But not sure what episode it was.
I was in 7th grade. Our teachers did the same thing. We sat and watched the news all day. Being 12 years old even I understood that all hell was breaking loose and it was on.
That was my second day of high school. What a crazy day.
I was a freshman in high school, and I remember just feeling numb, not knowing what was going to happen. We were in shock.
"That stadium looks packed." Yes, considering the relative short distance between NY & Philly, there were quite a few NY Mets fans in the stadium.
Where 9/11 was the modern era's version of Pearl Harbor, May 1, 2011 was the equivalent to the 1980 Winter Olympics hockey game, the US vs USSR, in terms of the unity of national emotion throughout the country.
That night, at that moment, there were no Phillies fans, there were no Mets fans, ... there were patriotic Americans.
Yeah, I still get teary-eyed watching the video of that night. It was just ... incredible.
10 years later I still get emotional thinking about that night.
I don’t know about pride, but as a 12 yr old when OBL was killed feeling retribution. Weird feeling for a 12 yr old but here we are.
That’s awesome you felt that back then. The appropriate response at such a young age!
I remember I was at my grandma’s with my parents and grandparents.
Earlier in the day, we had heard rumors that Bin Laden had been hunted down and killed. Yet it was rumors and it was all over the news. It was then finally that Obama came out on National TV and said he was gone.
I’m happily from New York and still live here. The energy throughout the town was just crazy. Neighbors cheering, some crying, but all were reacting to this.
Everyone in my town lost somebody or had been directly impacted by 9/11. So the news definitely brought a form of closure.
I was 11 when we this happened and I remember it like it was yesterday. Even as a kid, I knew just how monumental and important this was. The patriotism in the air in the weeks following this was practically tangible.
September 12th 2001 - the last day America was truly United as one. Then we saw a little bit of unity when we got Bin Laden. Today America is torn and divided and it’s extremely saddening.
I was at the chiefs vs giants game the first one after 9/11. I was scared. But I wasn't going to let them win. At least with me. This video still makes me choke up. You handled it brilliantly. Thank you for covering that. Now review something that doesn't make me ball like a baby
There were definitely a few moments where I was getting teary eyed. What a momentous day it was!
Big facts. Arrowhead was emotional that day. All of Arrowhead.
I love KC, my home!
I had been to the top of the World Trade Center & I remember just how Massive those towers were so when I saw the first plane hit the North tower I thought to myself "that is no Accident"! My worst fears were confirmed 20 minutes later when the second tower was hit. I have nothing but praise for our Military and for President Obama for keeping his promise to get Bin Laden.
I live in a small town with a population of 2700, and I remember on that day, all 2700 people were out on the streets celebrating.
The atmosphere must have been amazing!
I live in New Jersey. Im only about 2 hours or so away from NYC. When the shit went down, my 9 year old self saw people rushing out of town/state because they had family in New York and needed to be with them, or sadly sometimes, needed to bury them. And i saw just as many people rushing in. Because no one really knew what was going to happen next. And some people in New York had family here, and needed to be somewhere "not as important," for a while. I was 9. And as much as the adults didnt like to admit it, my age group understood death. We understood that people can hate, and hate hard. We may not have understood the machinations and history that bred this hate. But we could understand the cause and effect of extreme hatred and mass murder. It was scary, not because we didnt known what was happening, but because we understood the chilling nature of what happened, and looking to the adults for assurance, they clearly werent entirely sure what was going to happen. And because we were so close, we understood how quickly it could spread to us if something bigger happened.
I was 18 when bin Laden was gunned down. I was in my senior year, and summer was coming. Id be leaving my hometown for college in a few months, and id sort of figured myself out. I do not like to cheer or celebrate the death of anyone. No matter how evil. By that point in my life, i knew this about myself. I could be happy the evil they did was gone, and be hopeful for the future. But id never celebrate the death itself. It just felt wrong to me. Bin Laden was the exception. Not that i think what he did makes him significantly more evil than any other human who's done evil. And not that he, alone, committed all these acts. His comrades, his legacy, and his machinations would still exist, even if his own evil contributions died eith him. But after almost 10 years of living with the effects of 9/11, im not ashamed to say i broke my own rule. I celebrated. I cried tears of relief. I toasted to justice and the wellbeing of the team that took him down.
Im not particularly aggressive or overly outspoken in my patriotism. Im proud of my country, despite her many flaws, but im very cognizant of those flaws, and chsnnel my efforts and zeal into betterment, rather than screaming about how American i am. But i was unabashedly screaming into the chorus of "God Bless America," "Im Proud to be an American," "U S A," and many other songs and chants. It was a bizarre day. But its a day I'll never forget.
this just popped up on my feed & couldn’t be more glad it did! thank you sir for your respect towards the U.S. ! loved the video ! ❤️🤍💙
Thanks for the kind words mate :)
Best UA-cam video I have seen all year! Real talk
I went to The White House that night it was announced they got him. It was an amazing experience.
My husband is military and on 9-11 I was in a teenage fire department training (fire explorers). I was so hit when the towers fell and heard all the personal alarms of the fallen Fire Fighters makes me sick every time I hear it.
Sounds like it was an awesome atmosphere outside the White House that night, that feeling of sweet retribution
This was one of my favorites. So glad I ran across this channel 💚
I was in high school when 9/11 happened. I don't remember when it was between my 1st period and 2nd period class, or my 2nd and 3rd. But, I do know it was Spanish. When I walked into the room, the teacher already had the TV turned on to the news, showing the first plane hitting the tower. That was pretty much all we did that day was watch the coverage and discuss what was happening. I also remember, throughout the day, periodically hearing military planes or helicopters flying over the school.
It must have been such a crazy and surreal day when it happened
I was 18 and had been in the air force for 3 months. I was training to be an air traffic controller and 911 was my first day on the tower simulator. So many images from that day ingrained in my memory. It's so weird when something is happening and you tell yourself "I'll remember this exact moment forever" and 20 years later it's still there like yesterday. The day of 9/11 is by far that biggest moment for me.
As an American I was online on my PS3 and in the middle of my game PlayStation put a message across my screen saying “we got bin laden” and as a kid even I knew how special it was I’ll never forget that day 💪🖤🔥
Boatlift (narrated by tom hanks) is a great 9/11 related video. It does a great job of showing how everyday people can be hero's if they need to be!
Yes! Please react to Boatlift. It's amazing.
I’ll put it on my list!
@@kabirconsiders
You can find it under "Boatlift an Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience."
I think you will like it!
I've been hoping you'd get to this one!
Ready for Joplin tornado reaction, too!
Better later than never eh! I had goosebumps almost the whole way through the vid

@@kabirconsiders Always! There's just so much that I, (and likely all of your subs) want to share with you!
Another 9/11 video that is ABSOLUTELY incredible is, 'Boatlift - An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience.'
It is very respectful, not gory or anything like that and sheds light on such a incredible event that happened, that most people don't know about. Even Americans! I didn't know about it until like 2 or 3 years ago. It's a beautifully told story of resiliency, unity, selflessness, humanity, tragedy and strength.
The video is on UA-cam and it's about 12 minutes long. You can find it using the title I provided above.
I'm sure you have PLENTY on your list already so there's another you can add, if you'd like! 😂 I'd certainly appreciate it and really think you would enjoy it. 🧡
This video and the 9/11 Boatlift video make me emotional & give me chills EVERY time I see them!
Thank you for always being so kind! You're the best! 😊
Love the channel bruv! Keep doing your thing.
Thanks brother ☺️
I was a school teacher at the time of the 9/11 attacks. We were all so devastated. Anyway, when Osama was finally annihilated, I felt thrilled. President Obama did it! I voted for him twice. In my lifetime, he’s been our greatest leader. And…New York won that night! It’s fitting! ♥️💕♥️
I cannot express the mount of emotions that flowed when that was announced. It was hard and devastating to watch 9/11 happen and knowing there was nothing you could do, and let alone being young. I was in college when this happened and my school always had a lot of issues with the war, but when this happened, we all yelled together. We all cried together, and we all hugged each other. One of the most emotional times in my life.
I remember this day,we were literally celebrating in my house.that night everyone had a drink.
911 was definitely a day that changed the world, the US and myself. I may have joined the military anyways, but 911 definitely set the tone for me joining the military.
Thanks for your service mate!
Thank you for your service!
I was at this game for my 9th birthday. I was kinda confused as to what was going on but it was absolutely amazing to experience. Never felt that kind of atmosphere before or since then.
I bet the atmosphere was electric, everyone coming together in that moment!
For Americans his death meant so much. 9/11 affected all of us. No one was spared from that event. And to finally get him, it was an amazing moment of unity in a country that is known for not always agreeing with itself.
Loved your reaction to this. If you want MORE chills look up The Bruins hockey game after the Boston Bombing. As a man from New Hampshire and the New England area. That video always hits home to me
Not gonna lie, I cried like a patriotic baby.
I can't remember where I was when I heard the news because I had my young son at the time that I come from a long line of military and we couldn't have been happier to hear that that man had a lot of people and I lost some friends in the war hearing that made me feel a little better
My son is overseas now in the Army because he was 4 years old when he watched the towers fall. It brought out something in him.
Your son sounds like an awesome lad, Mike!
@@kabirconsiders
Thank you sir! Just talked to him today. 😃
Will never be able to forget happened on my birthday and the year I graduated 🇺🇸
Yet today that unity we had then is gone. Truly sad.
I was in 3rd grade when Sept. 11th happened. I came down to eat breakfast but my mom was crying. At that moment the 2nd plane hit. I went to school and they had counseling and alot of kids weren't there.
That day must have been so surreal
You need to watch Boatlift it’s great story
Tis indeed
I’ll put it on my list!
You have less than 3/10th of a second to decide to swing that bat. That's faster than the eye can blink.
The announcer should have announced it right away IMO
Agree. They could have just made the announcement between innings, given everyone including the players 15-20 minutes to celebrate, and then wrapped up. Oh, well.
The David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox, his speech for the Boston Marathon bombing and catching those responsible in 2013 is something you might wanna check out
Check out John Cena announcing it to the WWE crowd. Great moment as well
Yeah that must have been quite a moment, super emotional. I’ll put it on my list!
I was watching this game but when it was announced there was a press conference I paid more attention to twitter and the news than I did the game. Wish I would have watched both
We were watching TV and when President Obama announced that Osama bin Laden was killed, I woke up my wife and said, "We got him." She instantly knew who I was talking about.
I wasnt born early enough to experience the day of the 9/11 attacks but I do remember EVERYONE and how they acted. I think I can speak for more than myself that there was an overwhelming sense of relief and validation.
The placing the story at the game is genius.
The powerful good guys in the world.
I remember that night. I cried.
I don’t blame you, a moment of sweet retribution
That's my team! The Phillies. We a have a great fan base and am very proud of this momentm
Unfortunately America can't fully unite without huge things like this.
We really need you guys to heal as a nation because we are facing some complex and major threats. The west needs a strong United States.
@@kabirconsiders It's frustrating because we're made up of 3/4 patriots but we're being bought out. I fear the future is in China's methodical hands vs the U.S Navy.
I remember that night. As an American the relief the country felt that night was glorious
I bet it was an awesome night in the US
If you can find it look up New York City, specifically Times Square, the night Bin Laden was killed. So many people showed up there it looked like New Year’s Eve. In every state somewhere people gathered to celebrate his death. Outside of the White House after the news was a huge crowd and a big celebration. I can honestly tell you every single American knows where we were when we heard the news. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I ever had.
Another fascinating thing about that night is that the previous evening President Obama attended the annual White House Correspondents Dinner. It’s an annual event for charity where a comedian roasts the press and the president and then the president has his turn to roast the press all in good natured fun.
As this dinner took place Seal Team Six was already on their way to Abbottabad, Pakistan to perform their mission. Obama obviously knew what was to take place the next day but you could not tell from his demeanor.
During comedian host Seth Meyer’s set he had made fun of Donald Trump who was in the audience. Then, in Obama’s set he mentioned Trump as well. Trump wasn’t so much a political figure at that time as he was a thorn in Obama’s side with crazy accusations about his birth certificate and such, though he was threatening to run for the office as he had previously done. Obama sarcastically stated that he was impressed by the important life altering decisions that Trump had to make on Celebrity Apprentice and that if he had to make decisions like that he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
All the while the initial stages of this monumental event as going down.
After the dinner, Obama returned to the White House and the situation room where final decisions were made to carry on with the plans to implement the raid that successfully killed Enemy #1.
Highlights from Seth Meyer’s set.

Thanks for providing this context Doug! Obama has one hell of a poker face
Especially that yr it was 10 yrs since it happened. It's almost 20 yrs now
This day should be a national holiday! I take this day off work every year and celebrate America
Rest In Peace for those who died 20 years ago.
I remember those days so vividly. The morning of 9/11 will be forever ingrained into my memory. The week had already started off like shite, and that made a hard week already harder.
Fast forward ten years - I am living in Italy with my wife and our Daughter. I woke up early AM the next day and opened up the news as I always do. Every single news outlet had been reporting his death.
We got him. We finally got the son of a bitch!
Now lets fast forward another 10 years. I am a contractor for the US Military. A co-worker and friend is also a USN Vet, such as myself were talking on a drive. The subject came up of which ships he was on. He told me that he was on the Aircraft Carrier that the SEAL Team took the body to. He said at the beginning, nobody knew what was going on. Logs were pulled. Email was shutoff, as well as ship to shore phones. It was only later that they were told of what happened. D said the energy on the ship was like nothing he had felt in the almost 12+ years he had been in the fleet.
We finally came back together as a nation that evening. I really wish that momentum would have continued. But I damn sure don't ever want something like that to happen again to create unity.
I’m sure the US will heal again soon. The West needs you to, a strong US is our greatest ally
Man we really need another moment of unification like this soon. If we could stop all the bullshit for one night maybe it’d start calming down a bit around here.
Hopefully people put the BS aside and just come together
I’m so excited to watch this
Such a powerful vid
I still cry
September 12th, 2001 was the day my world was rocked as I watched the horrific events that unfolded in New York.
My unit was back in garrison up on Fort Richardson in Alaska. We got so hammered drunk that night we found out. Lol
You are amazing… you understand. But another thing you said… think pls about 10 yrs, we never forget a real wrong done to us, remember,,
I will tell you as a Philly raised kid born just before 9/11 I remember this moment like it was yesterday. Us Phillies fans hate the Mets with a burning passion. This was the only game that Phillies fans don’t mind losing to them because the first MLB after 9/11 was at Shea stadium home of the the Mets in queens. It was a New York hard hit terror attack. Of course it was all across the nation but it was by far hit the hardest in NYC. Much more then Philly. The Mets should win that game
I'm from Arizona. In 2001, we (the AZ Diamondbacks) were playing in the World Series against the New York Yankees--and WON!! It was a HUGE deal for us, but as big a Diamondbacks fan as I was, as thrilled as I was to win, it was bittersweet. Part of me felt bad for NY that the Yankees lost. Talk about getting kicked when you're down.
Definitely relief.
damn this video had me getting teary eyed
This is the last time we were united in the US.
Watching that game rooting for the Phillies of course cause ya know go yanks but that was one birthday I will never forget because of this game and seeing Bin Laden was killed made it so much more special
There was a WWE event this day as well. John Cena actually informed the crowd after the show. You can look it up and watch it also.
The best story since the bible..
I remember that day so clearly!
Yeah, it was all over the news here too
I still remember that night. I had school the following day so I was getting ready for bed when my parents called me and my brother into either the living room or their bedroom. And we watched Obama say we had finally ended the man responsible for over 2,990 deaths in a single day, and hundreds more ever since due to the toxic dust that was released. Everyone at school the next day was elated to hear that announcement over the intercom.
We watched second plane hit towers on the tv in our classrooms, they had combined rooms and had us just sitting around and teachers were consoling each other in hallways. Nobody thought anything about something else happening, they thought they were helping us by showing us the news as we waited for our families to make decisions to come get us or not but instead they hurt us badly as we watched it unfold and get worse and worse.
One of the things reported about the raid was a communication from one of the seals: Geronimo, Geronimo, for God and country Geronimo! (Geronimo was the code word.for mission success that night)
It really was the release of so much pent up rage after 10 years of war.
Yeah i remember hearing that line in zero dark thirty, an awesome line
@@kabirconsiders My quick 9/11 story is that the person who got the job my dad had applied for at the Pentagon was killed instantly when the plane hit. He would also from work on projects there from time to time. Someone or something was watching out for him I think.
My dad did see it hit while outside on a smoke break from where he was located.
One last thing about that: The Pentagon butts right up against Arlington National Cemetery and there was a make shift memorial for months afterwards.
Very eerie walking home from school having the sky completely quiet then having a flight of 4 fully laden F-16s scream past low and fast (they were fly CAP or combat air patrol).
That day is part of the reason I enlisted.
I’ll never forget the day same and 9/11 I was at the gas station on the way home from work when it was announced.
I still get goosebumps remembering this announcement. Kabir, American media and governmentcontractors,
Ahh I think you might have pressed submit before you finished typing
@@kabirconsiders oh no!! I had a great reply. Sorry I lost it Kabir.
Never Forget.
I like how we need UA-cam to give us “Context”.
😂
I needed a little boost of patriotism so thank you for this. Countries going to hell in a handbasket so its nice to remember little moments like these. These will be good reminders when its all gone.
Hopefully you guys will be back to your best in no time ☺️
JUSTICE
This was so heartwarming, but I lived through 9/11. Shrubs should not have pulled out most of the troops in Afghanistan to look for WMDs in Iraq. To this young guys and girls. It disappears....
It’s heartbreaking to watch this now. It’s the last time a lot of us felt United. We’ve been divided ever since.
