All these years later it's the people falling/hanging out of the windows that still turns my stomach. Hard to imagine the helpless feeling those people went through. RIP.
I'm glad you actually said falling. Instead of jumping. Because not everyone made a choice. Some were holding on for dear life to breathe and escape the flames and "fell" it's sucks! And it wasn't fair to them people or any human on earth. It's not right.. whatever happened that day?
@@MM-ig1ivwell, allow me to butcher some Shakespeare, "violent delights have violent ends", the US has been going around the globe for the past few hundreds years terrorizing and expanding their empire through genocide and torture so eventually the chickens went home to roost. 19 brave people (not good people, but certainly brave) took their fight to the imperial core and made a dent which has severely hurt gringos or as we call it around these parts "the good 9/11".
@@MM-ig1iv I mean, we'll never know the line that divides the fell/jumped/was pushed categories, but I'll tell you, one's proximity to the fire was a determining factor as to their intentions. The folks closer to the inferno were much less rational than those higher up.
I understand why in the moment, people would yell at the cameraman, but honestly I’m so thankful we have these raw clips to show future generations who will struggle to grasp the trauma and devastation that happened that day.
It was so raw for all the rescue workers, for everyone, really. But I am also very thankful for the folks who realized they had to document as much as they could this day.
They watched people choosing to leap rather than burn to death. No on knowing the towers would end up falling. I wonder if that firefighter went into the building or not. Seeing several going in with hoses breaks my heart. There was nothing they could do. They were entering their tomb.
The amount of detail recorded here is incredible. I've never seen this much detail from this perspective... The amount of people trapped. You can sense their horror and why some of them decided it was best to jump rather than stay... this is so sad.
They decided to die by their choice. Seeing them puts the horror in perspective. I am sure God won't condemned them for jumping. I would have jumped myself. Better to fly for a few seconds than burn. Bless them who made the choice to go on their terms, as much as they could have done.
@@jenniferbeyer6412to jump terrifies me, I don't know if I could. I guess you are forced out, due to the extreme heat, I just wish the building had collapsed a bit sooner for those poor people, that would have been the least painful and frightening way to go.
@@andrewbell7579 Then there would have been even more fatalities lower down as people were evacuating. It's estimated that over 6,000 people got out in the 102 minutes leading up to the collapse. We can mourn the the 1,300 who were lost at the 91st floor and above while celebrating the 6,000+ who survived because the tower stood as long as it did.
I am sorry for your loss. I watched it all unfold on my high school tv but I can’t even begin to grasp how terrible it was to be there. The loss of all those innocent lives and not knowing if a loved one was one of them. It shakes me to my core even now.
@@eleSDSU what the fuck is wrong with you? No matter what issues governments may have with one another, that doesn’t condone the killing of innocent civilians. You’re a real piece of shit.
There was a story I saw some time back, there was a man who worked in the North tower and was on the phone with his mom. He couldn't see the South tower but heard a loud roar and felt the rumble. When he asked what that was, his mom told him the other tower just collapsed. He just yelled oh God, I love you mom. That was their last conversation. Absolutely heart breaking!
@@gmerc-zu6wzShould’ve Built New Twin Towers Across for the Originals with Obviously Better Safety And way More Stairs and Elevators around the Corners and Sides Out Of Respects To The Victims ! But nah let’s Be Cowards
The way some of these people are holding on is almost inhuman. Their behaviour seems practically surreal. This is what I find the most terrifying about the 911 footage, not people jumping (which is somehow redemptive by comparison). No rational person, no one in their right mind, would even contemplate hanging out of a window that high. It is unimaginable, but it is horrifying proof of what was behind them. As a fire officer said of that day: "How bad do things have to be up there if the better option is to jump?"
Close your eyes for a minute and try to put yourself up there..... You feel the waves of heat and smoke on your back as you are trying to feel your way to one of the broken windows, the same windows that you have looked out for years while working in that office. As you make it to the window you hesitate to lean out until the need to breath takes over. You inch your way out while holding on to the beam till your head breaks out through the billowing smoke and are able to breathe again but this is a blessing and a curse. Now you can breathe but you can also start to comprehend the reality of your situation. Try to put yourself up there on that ledge.....the sound of fire crackling,the sound of the broken glass under your feet, the heat starting to burn your back, co workers screaming in panic, people frantically fighting and clawing to get a breath air from the broken windows, the wind blowing on your face and thinking "Holy shit this really happening" "I can't believe this is how I'm gonna die" looking down at the caos happening all around. must of been so surreal. Then you start watching people next to you start jumping. The amount of fucked up shit that went down that day is insane his is what really fucks me up.
When the sprinklers went on and they got wet …. The heat and smoke it would have felt like they were boiling like a egg . The brain straight away wants to escape that and will do anything
Almost 22 years later and this day still resonates with me. Looking at all of my brothers staging, waiting for their call to go up into the towers and get to work on the biggest job in modern history. For 343 of them, it would be their last alarm. Faces and names that I recognize of those that never returned. God bless the 343.
I was a hotdogs vendor by battery park near the ferry. I couldn't work for 2 months. We were never the same. I had american flag on my pushcart, many people did. We were united. Whats happening today is sad. God bless everyone.
I've watched hundreds of videos, dozens of 9/11 specials on TV over the past 22 years and I can say with 100% honesty, I'm still as shocked/stunned by what I see...just as shocked/stunned as I was 22 years ago watching it on TV happening live. My condolences to everyone who lost a loved one. Being in the state of PA, a huge THANK YOU to the heroes on flight 93 who made sure no one on the ground got hurt/killed. Though I'm on the opposite side of the state, I'll never forget the terror I felt hearing a plane was missing somewhere over PA. I literally ran from room to room in my house and looked out the windows for it, then back to the TV for an update...then back the windows to look up to the sky...back and forth until finally, word came that it crashed in a field on the opposite side of the state. Soon after, we learned the heroes crashed it there. I'll forever be grateful. Rest in peace, victims. You are missed and NOT forgotten.
I was 29 when this happened and on active duty in the Army. I’m 51 now, even after all these years the anxiety and sadness still persists on the anniversary. RIP to the victims of the attack
Was there a stand down order? Do you know how long it would have taken for a military presence to arrive, i.e., the national guard or the airforce? I'm honestly curious and was just pondering the questions as I watched...Haven't looked up a timeline of the military response yet.
What could the military have possibly done? I know that Cheney, exercising questionable authority, ordered the Air Force to shoot down the plane which crashed in Pennsylvania, but the gallant passengers took care of it on their own.
ah wow. The hightech cell phones that nobody had which everyone called their families from leaving strsngely calm comfortsble voicemails while foiling an attack. . Those dubios pass ports left untouched, undamaged by the catastrophe around it.
You can see it in all of the firemen’s faces that they knew they wouldn’t be coming back down if they went up. That takes an incalculable amount of courage. God bless all of the first responders who fought to the last second.
The last floor for the first fire crew on the North Tower before it collapsed was Floor 65, according to one unnamed fire chief. As for the south tower, the last floor it reached was Floor 71. Elevators were destroyed so they had to climb up to reach the highest point possible. Both failed to reach the first destroyed floor to put out the fire because there was an obstacle full of concrete in front of them blocking their access to go further. Plus did you know that they have a satellite fire department in one of those towers? They aren't equipped to fight fires below them because they do not have a fire hose up there. Now the rebuilt World Trade Center has fire hoses on each floor so it does not repeat the same mistakes on 9/11.
@@pantherzone2008terry hatton & the crew from rescue 1 was reported to have made it to the point of impact somewhere around the 78th floor. Dave Weiss was last seen in the lobby trying to redirect members upstairs to help rescue 1 who had become trapped in a localized collapse before the actual collapse.
@@mrrodgers4692 Yeah and Orio Palmer reported from around floor 76 (or where the fire started) or so in the south tower. He reported about needing 2 or 3 engines to knock down the fire he was at. He also reported many casualties and injuries on the floor/s. Other firemen answering Palmers reports responded they were a few floors below soon coming to support him. You can hear these transmissions in several documentaries and in the released official recordings of the firemen's radios. I think Palmer was at the fires for about 5 to 10 minutes before the tower collapsed
@@pantherzone2008 Not much could have been done in terms of firefighting because I believe the water standpipe systems in each tower had been put out of action. Had one or both towers remained standing there probably would have been no alternative but to let the fires burn themselves out.
@@mrrodgers4692Yes. That's one confirmed story about Rescue 1. I felt bad for them to be part of the collapse. The Rescue 1 fire station has retired and now tourists visit the station.
6:17 is Captain Daniel Brethel of ladder 24. his warning to his squad after arriving were '' guys be very careful, because firemen are going to die today.'' sadly later, he and another firefighter dove under a firetruck both were crushed to death by the debris.
10:42 - 11:39 if you zoom in and slow down the video you will see that person in the window right in the middle has a camera filming everything from above the wtc, and also talking to the person on the right side, if someone had managed to rescue that camera we would have the most amazing and saddest video of that day, RIP to wall them
Hand held cameras were hold from the side, it would be extremely hard to keep the flash pointing out straight like that at all times. Camera phones were widely available until 2003. I would like to think that is a Flashlight, maybe he was trying to grab someone´s attention, maybe do morse code...if you look closely looks like he is grabbing with ease , like a flashlight. If that tragedy would have occurred these days, we would have someone streaming from inside the towers in 4k, that would have been infernal to watch, horrible just horrible.
@@antoniovidal3915 I think it is a camera, the light we see is not some kind of flash but the reflection on the camera lens, it makes no sense for him to use a flashlight outside the window, there are several videos inside the wtc offices, some employees really liked to film the day to day inside the company, if you notice there is a part where the man on the side who was filming points to a specific location and he points the camera to that location, I am almost sure that it is a camera, a Canon maybe, 8:50 at that moment the person underneath him hands him the camera, he opens it and starts recording everything
Don't think I ever seen this video. Sucks seeing all those people just hanging outside of the building like that. I can't imagine what they were feeling. Especially the people in the north tower seeing the south fall down. 22 years later and this still hurts to look at.
sucks? its funny. you are disillusioned. these peoples got exactly what they needed for funding islamic extremists under CIA operation cyclone under Carter doctrine and Reagan doctrines. they should be deported back to europe/africa en mass for their complacency in the US govt. actions. they fabricated wmds in iraq with rafid ahmed alwan al-janabi, invaded afghanistan CIA operation cyclone allies for what 15 saudi arabians did. Lol. Oh boy, imagine getting attacked by 15 citizens of your "best friend" in OPEC oil sales requiring all other countries that buy saudi oil to purchase USD first. Hence, they were not going to be touched. The False flag invasions of afghanistan/iraq were done to appease the public who are generally low intellect people who believe anything these jews tell them. when US taliban shows up at their elementary schools they will start to learn who really attacked who on 9/11
They were probably holding out and waiting for the fire to burn it’s self out and or people to come get them. That’s what we all thought was going to happen. Not for the towers to collapse.
I don't know how they could have fought a fire like that even if the towers somehow never fell. And it would have been an ordeal for them JUST to get to the fires.
You can hear the building creaking so clearly in this video!!!! I've heard it described by people so many times, but this is the first time I've been able to hear it for myself. Absolutely terrifying.
6:43, as the fire fighter clearly watches a desperate person jump from the tower, and he follows him all the way down. You then hear the impact, and the fire fighter's reaction is so painful to watch. We will always remember the victims and honor their legacy.
You have no evidence the person falling was "desperate". More likely, the person was dead already having been in a giant fireball that consumed all the available oxygen. You have no evidence the firefighter watched said person jump. What you did see, and what is seen in the video, is the firefighter watching a something falling. What that something actually is - is never shown in this video. Everything else your brain invented to fill in what you imagined, not what you actually saw. This is true of most of the "jumpers" - they are more fairy tale than historical truth. As Young Sheldon says - "think, monkey, think!"
How the shocked young man being interviewed keeps staring up at the towers as he's talking, transfixed, shows how traumatic it was for him to see those planes slam into the towers. 🥺🧡
Sadly, this young man passed away from cancer in 2017. Him and his wife had just had their second child. His name was Kwame leduc and his wife was the west African photographer fatoumata diabate
I was 14 when this happened and I remember I wanted to go help so bad in the aftermath. Not sure how much a 14 year old girl could do to help but I felt so passionate about it. I'm 37 now and I made a promise to never forget. Rest in peace to all my fellow countrymen and women. We will never forget u.
@@MattGatts Because your birthdays are not on the exact same day obviously, so she would be one year older than you some of the year and two years older for the rest.
Suffocation is all I can think of I can't breathe and I need to get out of here. It's like where can I go. I'd probably have a heart attack or panic attack
the fires were spreading through the building, so they were feeling more and more smoke and intensifying heat. I guess that is what made them all jump or fall out - either smoke inhalation and passing out and falling out or burns they could take no more and then jumping out. It was a horrible way to go but at least their deaths were instantaneous and there was no more suffering, no more fear. I cannot imagine what else to say, it's so heartbreaking.
@@mrvk39there's a VR game about 9/11. Inside you try to find an escape, but you can't because the stairwells are blocked with fire and debris and you have a choice of either burning alive or jumping out the window and that's how the game ends
Seeing people hanging out of the towers always reminds me that it's entirely likely there were many people trapped on those upper floors who had no idea there was a wider terrorist event unfolding across the eastern seaboard. They could've simply thought it was an accident and had no idea their deaths would become some of the first in the war on terror.
Some people were already jumping from the lower east side of the North Tower before the second plane it. Those first victims never really understood the situation. They probably thought a bomb went off in the building as a couple calls from the north tower thought that was what happened
There wouldn't be many since word spreads fast, especially among trapped people, but there certainly would have been some people in the north tower, either alone or in small groups, who never knew that it was an attack because no one was able to tell them that the other building had been hit too.
6:41 that firefighter reaction to the jumpers is haunting, we dont get to see it but he must have seen truely horrific things, imagine knowing that the order to get inside would come at any moment.
Yes...Brave indeed.But what bothers me is the other 500 or so firemen who survived ,stood around and looked up at all those trapped people hanging for dear life,suffocating and jumping while they did nothing.
There was nothing they could do. Anyone and everyone above the lines of impact were as good as dead. They had no way of getting to them. So they focused on getting to the people below the impact lines out of there.
@@startracker5895 Several people were actually able to escape the South Tower above it's impact, due to one stairwell still being intact when it got smashed. No one was able to get out of Tower #1 alive if they were above it unfortunately though.
@@startracker5895 No they either died when the north tower fell or when they jumped. The collapse of the south tower would not have killed any of them, they were too high up.
1:31 almost all the members on Ladder 21 were killed with some being rescued after being trapped in the rubble. As another year passes and the anniversary approaching, watching these videos make it all seem so raw and like it happened just yesterday. To everyone who lost their lives that day in NY, PA and VA Rest In Peace and God bless.
Wow that's pretty powerful. The look on the witness's face Kwami Ludec 13:20 is unforgetable. And when he relates what he saw all while starring at the buildings during which he sees jumpers. The reporter "They're jumping?" He points with a look of horror on his face "Didn't you see it?" How do you ever get beyond something like that?
You did amazing! I've seen the same videos all over the internet for years but seeing your version showed me things I couldn't see in the other videos.
i posted this above, but since u talk about resolution here... " With todays technology, would it be possible to see the people hanging out the windows better? I see they restore old time videos from 1900's and they look clear. I think families might , well some of them might want to see their loved ones.... What does everybody think? I wouldn't want to though."
With today's technology with video and this same thing happening it would make it even more raw and real. This video is real enough seeing things I haven't in all the previous videos. And I have watched a lot. You can even get a glimpse of one if the jumpers bodies across from the staged firefighters ear the bottom of the stairs next to the bushes on the right at 5:30 below stairs. This was pointed out after watching the videos 2 times. I don't think I would want or their relatives today's level of video detail.
I was not expecting the smack sounds of the jumpers hitting the ground. That must’ve been horrifying to witness in real life. Grateful to those who stood strong to document this historical event.
Yet, the media wants to downplay all the jumpers and pretend they weren't even there. It's ASININE. It's the ultimate in the Nanny State. We should be OUTRAGED that our leaders got us into this mess and didn't protect us. The right wing Christofascists had just forced their lunacy on our country and made the military fire dozens of Arabic/Urdu linguists that were translating all the chatter from the Islamoterrorists. Why? Because they were gay. Suddenly, we didn't have enough people to decipher the deluge of messages. Unconscionable.
@@michlo3393 He's not wrong though, horrific event and nobody deserved this, but it is the result of Western foreign policy. Imagine the horror Iranians felt as their democratically-elected government was overthrown, and many were killed, by Western powers to secure cheap oil.
4:10 This is Captain Jay Jonas, who was in the North Tower when it collapsed and survived along with fifteen others. His story is documented in the Miracle of Stairway B.
@@krashd No, that movie was about a different group of police officers who survived the collapse of the south tower. I believe the two groups made up almost all the people who were pulled from the rubble alive.
@@krashdHe along with one police officer, one civilian and 11 other firefighters were heading down staircase B, when the tower collapsed. They said it was collapsed around them, as if they were in a structural pocket that avoiding impact. It miraculously stayed intact between 4 floors and meant they survived.
They stopped to help a lady called Josephine Harris, who had made her way down from higher up the North Tower. When she reached the 20th floor, she couldn’t walk any further. So the firemen that thought that Josephine would stop them from exiting the building safely, actually saved their lives!!
That's not him. Captain Jay Jonas is in the Naudet video. You can see him in the lobby of the North Tower just before he leaves to go with his men up the stairwell.
Even if anyone still were alive then only on the side from which the south tower was not observable (note direction of the wind), so anyway they couldn't know about the collapse
@@Dianetics Yes, they could, but hardly anyone could survive to that moment, and even if they could, hardly any noise could make them think about anything besides the horror and despair they were in
There's a brutal picture of the s tower collapsing and within all debris you can see two people falling with the massive beams. It was taken by the same photographer who took the falling man pic.
8:55 The image of those two souls at the top window holding hands between the expanse should serve purpose to remind us all just what it is that actually makes us human. RIP.
Starting at 8:51 the enhanced close-up of the people stuck above the impact zone hanging out to get some fresh breathing air,really brings the clothes colors and body silohiettes to life. To where family could vaguely identify them.
6:51 My level of respect for these guys knows no limits. All of them know there is a strong chance they don't return home to their families; that they are perhaps living their final moments. I'm sure they were terrified, but they went up anyways. They died trying to save others, the ultimate sacrifice. Could have bolted if they wanted to, knowing they were probably doomed, but showed us the true definition of courage instead. True heroes.
Tomorrow is the 22nd anniversary of 9/11 (as of writing this). What got me into this tragedy is because of UA-cam recommending me to Ladder / Engine 118. Sorry for the loss of the nearly 3000 men and women out there, both rescue squads of the nation and the people who worked there. My dearest condolences to those of 9/11 from Malaysia. 🇲🇾🤝🇺🇲
It makes me so sick to see all those people at the west corner of the building holding on for dear life, knowing now that none of them saw past the hour 😥. I hope that they didn't feel any pain. Can't imagine what pure terror they had to have felt
This might be the most disturbing video of most of that day... some have completely burnt red arms, holding onto the sides of the building, in hopes for any gasp of fresh air... I hate to mention this, but they were definitely in pain... 😢 Rest in peace to all these victims of this horrendous act of terrorism.
@17:44 that’s how my mom arrived covered in smoke dust at 6pm in queens that day. She worked on broadway downtown not too far from wtc. I thought she had passed, since no cell phone lines were working. Nor was the subway. She walked home from wtc to La guardia airport. (East elmhurst)
@@SMSimon yeah, that's what made it hard to see then, as now. They were in physical as well as mental pain; for they knew they were doomed with such a fire behind them so far up. But they held on as long as it was bearable because what else do you do? I cannot comprehend being in that situation. No human should ever be in it. God bless them all 🙏
Full credit to the bravery of the emergency services that day. Also, the calmness and dedication of those teachers guiding their children in their care to safety. Even now, some 23 years, these videos of that day are still so raw and devastating . This video witnessed the scenes beyond ground zero of the bravery and chaos. It is way beyond comprehension even now in 2023.
I think it's just doing your best with what you've got. The firefighters were going up to fight the fire, the cops were holding traffic, the teachers were guiding their students. It seems to me the perfect distillation of humanity, of civilization. When we need each other, in the face of great peril, we do what we can, and we do what we are good at. Everyone tries to find their own way to help. Sure, some people panic, some people are paralyzed with fear, but many will do their best to do what they can.
It’s interesting how your training just kicks in…shock/panic kicks in after. As a teacher myself I’ve experienced it even outside of school… I had a rough day and was, you know, having “me time” via coffee and fries with mindless phone scrolling at a McDs nearby. Back turned to the door. At some point I hear this “disturbance” behind me but it was right after school so thought it was high schoolers “being teens”. In my peripheral vision a few minutes later I see this young kid standing by herself in the aisle looking at something behind me, while two teen girls nearby talk to her about coming to them. What had actually happened was that a stabbing took place just outside the McDs with the victim stumbling in and collapsing on the floor by the entrance, which was the disturbance I heard. This girl’s dad jumped in to help while others called 911. So, the teacher training kicked in because I saw this kid looking upset, possibly by herself…and why were these teens calling to her? Before I even caught onto what else was going on, that was my first concern, starting with asking the teens if they knew her. They said no but said her dad was “over there” while pointing behind me. Only then did I turn to see. Even that glimpse gave me enough info that, again, training had me thinking “OMG, she should not be seeing this!” After that, I got her over with the teens with her back turned and helped them distract her, while also checking in on them. It was like weird tunnel vision! Only once she was back with her dad did I finally see that I would be exiting past a trauma scene (the person survived, thankfully), and that the building was surrounded by multiple first responder vehicles. The shock of that only hit me in the car.
I call myself desensitized when it comes to graphic injuries or death, but when it comes to videos like these I will quite literally sob like a baby. I cant stand to see people in fear and pain
You LITERALLY just said you’re desensitized to graphic injuries or death and then said you can’t stand seeing people in fear and pain. That makes absolutely no sense.
I mean it kinda does, you can be desensitized to graphic physical situations and still have empathy to feel emotional for the victims, you seem pretty aggressive towards them but they were just trying to make a point that even if they aren’t faint of heart they still were greatly affected by this tragedy, calm down @GG-08.
Can you imagine if those planes hit at 11am instead of 8:45 where the buildings were fully occupied with over 25,000 people in each building? scary thought
For some reason this bit of information is regularly overlooked. During a regular workday, the WTC had over 40,000 people there. If they had hit the towers around or after noon...the level of bloodshed that would've taken place is legitimately unspeakable. In some horribly bizarre way, the terrorists hitting around 9am spared tens of thousands of lives :/
@@dissectingdarkness3560the hijackers would’ve definitely been more successful had they waited an hour later. Oddly enough, you would think the south tower that was hit lower would have suffered more casualties but the north tower that was hit higher trapped more people.
I would like to have thought if they waited later some of the plane's would have been brought down with possibly less air traffic waiting longer. Another thing that would have made things worse was if the plane's somehow hit lower on each tower. That would have trapped more above and resulting in more damage to buildings around possibly. They might have fell and pancaked the same .
Still just as horrifying 22 years on. What’s so painfully sad as I watch this video is seeing all those emergency responders kitting up to go into the buildings. I look at them and wonder who made it and who perished. Loved ones of those lost people must have seen these videos and on the most painful day of their lives seen their loved one still alive, doing their duty. Must be gut wrenching. And those poor people who jumped. I recall watching those in horror on the news. May God rest all their souls ❤️
You can faintly hear the poor jumpers blood curdling scream right before hitting the ground. Around 1-2 seconds before impact you can hear a scream then bang. Especially the ones around 8:20- 8:38.
6:41 is absolutely chilling. Cannot even fathom what these firefighters were feeling just watching people jump to their deaths, knowing that it was absolutely the most impossible situation to be in and that helping these people was going to be the most daunting task they’ve ever had to face.
Yes…and what they saw inside . I know they had made it to the Sky lounge and they were saying there were multiple casualties. Because the jet fuel went down the elevator shafts and created giant fireballs that burnt those people. Unfortunately those firemen didn’t survive since the tower collapsed soon after. What a horrible experience as a last memory.
6:43 firemen watching someone jump then die and knowing they have to start making there way up there as soon as their captain gives the command. To scenes that only hell could match. This still seems too far fetched to be real life. This footage is amazing. R.I.P. to all the victims and hero's
We all watched it happen live or on TV. All these years later it's still hard to believe it happened, and still just goes your soul seeing the people jumping and waving from the windows and all of the first responders there to help under unimaginable circumstances. I send prayers for everyone directly impacted that day, and for our nation as a whole.
It occurs to me, after watching this. This was the one singular day when everyone in America truly cared about one another. God bless all of New York, always
So. Many. People. Just so many. Seeing the shear number of individuals, on just ONE side of both buildings, hanging out of windows above the impact zones is heart wrenching. So many people were stuck.
14:09 shows why eye witness testimony is not reliable. From the only video we have of the first plane hitting the North Tower he was not at all out of control. That plane flew directly into the building with no wavering.
That's a good point. When the first plane struck he probably couldn't believe that it was on purpose, so his mind adjusted it to be "out of control'. He got the second plane correct and you can see him trying to re-process the first plane strike with this new information (that it must have been on purpose) but isn't able to fully do it yet.
@@waltblackadar4690 For sure, it’s almost impossible for the normal human mind to make sense or set precedence for at that time what was an UN precedented event. The brain goes back to what it knows and is common and especially prior to this day a 767 Jet does not just fly directly into a building. “It had to be out of control” most would have thought that morning.
I remember watching it live. After the first plane hit, we all thought it was an accident. When the 2nd plane hit, we kind of realized it was not an accident. I was 3rd yr in college in long Island.
I truly hope that those who fell or jumped found peace in those short moments. RIP to all those beautiful souls lost, and my heart goes out to their families and friends who are still suffering to this day.
the most graphic footage has been cut out in this video for good reasons, but still very disturbing. at 5:29 a body has just landed on the upper railing, just above the security camera at 5:36 , and the news camera man zooms in on whats left on the ground. i have seen several different videos with this same victim. you can see he is on fire when he falls, and the sound when he lands on the railing is just to creepy 😟
@@andrewmelton2686 it's the railing jumper, he is not on fire, he was holding like a curtain or a shirt, the fell over the black metal railing and sounds like a "PIING" on UA-cam put "Railing jumper" you can see him hitting the railing and it makes a blood cloud and there's photos of his remains, I can show them
That's is one of the two jumper who fell just seconds after the second plane crashes, you can see in different footages when the fireball of the United 175 appears, on the west side of the WTC 1, you can see two people jumping at the same time and falling down and the remains of one of them is on the 5:29 ...
Over two decades later, this horrifying day still chokes me up inside. I’m not even American, I am Canadian, and we all felt for our brothers and sisters. I was in grade 6 when 9/11 happened, I first witnessed it on lunch break while I was watching TV at my babysitter’s home.
Lost my first wife because of this. Left NY and will never ever ever go back!! The people falling when the first plane hit, actually were not jumpers. They were people trying to escape with zero visibility, and had no clue that where they put their foot down next, no longer had any flooring and got shot out like a slide. Others who fell who couldn't see, never expected floor or walls to be gone, and seeing light, raced to the exits, which was the wall missing and down they went. I can't believe this is 22 years later. Moved to CA, remarried and had kids.
At 00:34 you can see the woman waving for help where the jet first entered the building. There's a few videos about who she was and close-ups of her from zoomed in video and still images. Amazing she survived the initial explosion. It's so sad she wasn't saved.
Idk how she managed to not get hit by any fatal debris being literally within the impact zone. She was probably alone through the entire ordeal considering the majority of those floors were wiped out. The saddest part is she survived the crash just to drag on the inevitable.
I _always_ look for her, now. She died waving to be seen, and not ever knowing if she had been, and now anyone who hears her story cant look at that image without trying to see her.
6:20 Capt. Daniel Brethel, Ladder 24(D) (who died on 9/11) is shown talking to a fireman named Haines (who is not on the list of those killed) and an unidentified one. The name is only visible for a few frames (Haines' name patch is visible for a few seconds which led me to look for the other mens' names). But I thought it would be worth commenting on.
Seeing all those people up there in the floors above the inferno hanging out of the windows and clinging to the sides of the building, knowing that none of them made it. That is the most heartbreaking and scary sight for me. Never forget.
Just the thought that,starting around 8:00, every loud THUD you hear is a body, a person hitting the ground turns my stomach. Those poor people that were forced to choose between suffocating/burning to death or jumping to their deaths, I can’t imagine…
I have spent 22 years thinking almost daily about those people hanging on the outside of the building, the ones who are in the windows with half a body outside, asking for help that would never come... That is the most heartbreaking and frightening thing, I am not exaggerating when I say that I think about it every day in all these 22 years. Imagining the despair and infinite anguish that those poor people suffered is something that goes beyond words, that always makes an impact on me, it is what has affected me the most but for some strange reason I cannot stop watching these videos.
5:36 the eSpeed sign was for the company on the very top office floor of tower 1, below the two restaurant/hospitality floors. None of the people working at eSpeed that morning survived.
One man, a Cantor broker went down to the lobby to swipe in two IT knuckleheads who’d forgotten their IDs that morning. As he was approaching them at the reception desk in the lobby of WTC1, AA11 struck its north facade between 92nd and 98th floors. He survived.
Had never heard that story,he must have survivor's guilt to this day. Those happenstance circumstances that saved him from the deathtrap inferno were his 698 co-workers didn't make it.
One lesson I learned from this tragedy and the South Korean Ferry tragedy is when something happens and your guts tells you to leave, do not let anyone else decide your fate for you. Had some of these people follow their instance and left the building despite their leadership telling them to stay, they may have had a chance of survival.
I have no idea why I watch this stuff. It's heartbreaking, especially seeing so many people hanging out of windows that are literally doomed, people jumping to avoid burning to death, or hearing all those horrible thuds from people impacting the ground, the awning, the hotel, and just about everything else in close proximity to the building, but I always watch it with this weird hope that it'll end differently. I don't even know how to explain that and I'm aware of how crazy it sounds, but that's what I do, I sit and allow myself to think that maybe all the horrible things that are about to happen, won't happen. Every single time.
I can't put it into words either, but I know exactly what you're saying and watch for the same reasons. I think part of it is still disbelief that this actually happened. The sheer horror of it all, and I remember that day clearly since I was 15 when it happened. It's also probably because that day affected all of us immensely, and these videos allow us to see it from all angles. Maybe it's us trying to make sense of it all. Who knows...
I feel exactly the same way. I am compelled to watch these videos over and over. I was 24 years old when this happened, and my mind couldn't process it then. All these years later and my mind still just can't process it. In 1996, I stood at the top of the South Tower when I visited the observation deck and all I can do is think of how I would have felt in those poor people's place. I,too, sit and watch it somehow, hoping it will end differently. It's just so horrible. It scarred us all for life.
6:42 - This clip definitely ranks among the most horrifically memorable pieces of 9/11 footage. Watching their gaze follow an unseen subject down and the moment the younger of the two recoils, his reaction is all that's needed to convince you that you're lucky _not_ to have seen it for yourself.
@chriswakefield9538 I remember reading a SuperPaw doc that named him as a victim. I can't remember the source either though! Let me know if you find something either way
Yeah I can see him. Lower left corner and I think the man holding across the column looked away too. We can only guess at the hell those people went through up there
Oh yeah also one of the jumpers on the 105th floor on the right of the disposable handcamera jumper looks and then 1 second before they land they just look up in shock and disbelief
What is clearly apparent from some of the close shots of both towers impact zones:- is the extent of the fires. Blazing orange flames can be seen rising from floor to ceiling near the edges, that were being driven by warm 70 degree breezes being channeled in through all the broken windows and holes left by the planes. Presumably, burning embers were also being carried up, down, and through the building into new areas, where they settled and started new fires while others burnt out. The top floors of the North Tower were lit like a torch, burning like a tip of a cigarette with extensive fires on at least 10 floors at all 4 faces. In the case of the South Tower, footage from the largely unaffected west face, showed areas of black smoke that had penetrated through the entire floor. Another plume of smoke some 20 floors above also showed smoke escaping from a broken window. It seems obvious all the floors above the crash sites were being increasingly smoked out minutes after the crashes. By the time the North Tower collapsed at 10:28am, I believe most people at and above the crash site had already perished either from the fall, asphyxiation, or the heat of concentrated fires. I am inclined to believe that at least 500 people that died in the South Tower's unexpected collapse were still alive as the top portion came down. The fires above the impact zones were far less extensive and the smoke on the upper floors less severe. It is one of the biggest tragedies that day that so few were able to find and descend stairwell A to safety.
who are you? the fire should not have brought down a steel building. they weren't really that on fire compared to other incidents. yet... only on this day did this ever happen. not before or after I'm sorry... like a torch. no.
@rodanone4895 Did you perhaps miss the giant gaping holes in the buildings left by massive commercial aircraft smashing into them at full speed? The fires did not bring down the buildings. The structural damage they sustained in combination with the infernal heat gradually weakening the floor tresses to the point they could no longer hold the floors above, did.
@@Lance012012 did you miss the parts where they were designed for 5x normal loads and impacts with FULLY FUELED Boeing 707s which were not only the prevalent jetliners at the time, also roughly the same size as a 757 which is what hit the buildings. and... I'm an engineer so i know a little bit about steel, jet fuel (which burned for less than a minute and was largely aerosole in format after the plane was shredded by the STEEL.) no melted steel... plenty of cut steel in the wreckage a la thermate/thermite. I'm SURE I know more about the physics of that event than you do or you'd be asking for a new investigation. NIST's explanation violates Newton's first three, as does popular mechanics... see david ray griffin. also... see Hulsey's work on building 7... no gaping holes in that building. nice narrative there though. very artistic. anyone want to talk about MBS and Saudi being tied DIRECTLY to the funding for the event? ask yourself: why was Kashoggi killed? what was he working on... 911. facts.
@@rodanone4895 Architects and Engineers for 911 truth website, ae911truth, has given explanations for the collapse of the three steel-frame buildings, measuring 220 to 410 m tall. Saudis, at least at the top level, had no reason to harm the USA, as Saudi Arabia is a client state, and they are not stupid to send their own citizens as hijackers. Look at another client state in the same region, a bit further north, for probable involvement, using Saudi patsies. Cui bono?
@@rodanone4895 I studied engineering and have read the official investigation of how the towers fell. With your reasoning, I hope you haven't designed anything similar.
Francisco Javier Segura So do I my friend. I was 11 that day... and since then almost every year I want to review it over and over, seeking if theres some new footage or information... Sad day.
Yeah, its a weird point in history that now all of this time later seems almost like it didn’t happen. Not that it didn’t, but you know what I mean. And we’ve never seen clear, cleaned up footage like this.
There are bang-splats audible at 8:06, 8:22, 8:30, and 8:34 which indicate jumpers striking the surface below. There also appears to be a warbling scream of agonized terror audible at the 8:38 mark, followed by a bang at 8:43, as if a jumper struck a vehicle or awning. There might also be a faint scream at 8:27.
Alot of the firefighters said they knew going to the scene they were going to lose guys at this operation, but I don't think they knew it would be that devastating to where they would lose 343 members of the FDNY
@@BOBBYSOX86 I must say that this would've been a good day to QUIT if you were a firefighter!! I know that sounds harsh but let's be real, you'd have to be on a SUICIDE mission to step in those buildings!! Real talk!!🤦♂️🏃♂️✌
Out of all the victims on 9/11, I feel the most sorry for the ones trapped above the impact zone in the North Tower's upper floors. Flight 11 hit the North Tower in the center and destroyed all three stairwells and was hit pretty high up, and the fires in the North Tower were very severe. So the people trapped above the impact zone in the North Tower's upper floors were suffering from the smoke and heat, and that's why a lot of people jumped or fell from the North Tower on 9/11. So it was complete HELL on the upper floors of the North Tower on 9/11.
That’s because it was the first plane that hit. And nobody expected it. The people in the south tower could see what happened to the north tower so most of them left the building before the second plane hit. Out of all the victims on 9/11 the least worst one are the one who died right after the first plane hit without knowing what happened.
@@Chimp981 yeah no nuts. These people actually died. Three thousand men women and children. Just because it was allegedly a falsified attack does not make the lives lost not real. How much of a scumbag can you be
Same and I've seen them all. This is like watching it live all over again it's that tragic. I hope those terrorists are rotting in the very bowls of hell.
Usually police and fire folks are so calm in emergencies, 911 is one of the rare moments even the emergency responders were in shock and distraught over what was happening.
I highly doubt it about the camcorder. It was shot by a professional TV camera guy, Angelo Martin for WABC-TV. I resized the footage to 1080p HD. A bit too much for an already compressed video in DVD format... 720p would be better.
I think this may be an urban legend. There's no way you could climb down that, there are literally no handholds or anywhere to hold on. One guy did make an attempt but fell for this reason.
@@mynameismark25 It's not the falling man. The falling man jumped from Windows on the World which is near the very top of the building. This guy was a few floors below the impact. Still sad all around.
I forget where I read it, but it’s believed this man was able to slide/climb down 3-5 floors somehow using something to lower him down. Had he managed to break a window, he might’ve been the only survivor from the upper North Tower floors that day. Though this was shot around 9:45 so he probably wouldn’t have time to walk down all the stairs by then. Very sad to think about because most of the “Jumpers” slipped or fell doing anything possible for air.
That does look like that the man who was trying to scale the tower, I think he was being assisted my others from the inside who probably watched him fall
6:42 person falls possibly landing on the awning 8:06 another person falls possibly landing in the middle of the street 8:23 a man throws himself out of the building, possibly landing right on top of the awning 11:36 a person falls from the north tower hitting a light pole on West Street 14:44 a man notices another person falling from the north tower, possibly landing on the awning
I have very few memories before 5 years old, and this is unfortunately one of them. I remember being 4 years old and my mother crying and me watching the television and her explaining what was happening and I remember feeling so sad for the poor souls who perished on this day. My dad was firefighter too and I remember this day was incredibly tough for him to get through.
God at 8:10 all you keep hearing are the loud bangs of bodies hitting the ground. So freaking sad... God bless their souls. At 8:50 its heart breaking seeing all those people in the windows... jeez..
At about 6:45 those men are watching somebody jump. My father was an ironworker 580 working on a building on 14 st and one of the planes ( think #2), most were trying to just get out of the city fearing an obvious attack. He spent the next month or so aiding in search and eventually recovery. He lost his best friend that day. My uncle KENNETH WATSON, a firefighter for the FDNY engine 218 out of brooklyn. When this happened a new kid was late for work and when the event happened he was done with his shift. He geared back up and jumped on the engine. Leaving the firehouse they passed the new ( late) kid. He said" hey kid, you snooze, you lose". Typical Kenny who was also an ironworker before fdny. He was 16 minutes into the first building before it came down. I cant express how brave everyone was that day. Knowing the possible outcone. Real men and women. May you all rest in paradise ❤❤❤
I think at 9:24 the ones that are hanging out of the windows for fresh air to avoid the thickness of the smoke and intense heat are the employees from Cantor Fitzgerald floor 105, counting down the floors from the Windows On The World Restaurant floor 107 you can clearly count down 3 floors from the Restaurant and see Cantor Fitzgerald employees standing near the ledges of the windows, at 13:02 clearly that's the 107th floor Windows On The World and the person can be seen waving a tablecloth or a white sheet, cause just above the 107th floor are the mechanical floors from 108 to 110.
Wow... I'm from the Netherlands bro, Amsterdam. And till this day this still haunts me deeply... I'm not kidding. I posted a comment not to long ago down here, how I've seen it and it won't leef my mind and thoughts that are still full of it. But ur a person who got the whole layout of the timeline and the sections of the building in details. May I ask? Did u loos any friends or Fam that day? I hope not, than againg we did loos fellow citizens. Me to that day. I sincerely believe that ur own government was behind this horror act, looking at, Bush in Florida holding a child's book upside down as he was attending a class of afro American kids? Things does not add up. Allso... Why were the fighter jets been called out so late to intercept the sec. plain that was still out there hedding for the South Tower?? I mean... Till this day I feel that something is still wrong with ur Nation. Sincerely Wrong For God's Sakes...
@Jonathan at 8:50... Does that look like an ''NYPD chopper flying by the windows'' No, it does not wright? Some ppl in the chat up in ere are full of sh!t/crap! Look at the amount of smoke after the rippelefect when it happens. So much smoke whent true the sections at the same time. U can see that. Ur a smart person. Are ppl realy this blind up in ere? To me... they must be. No helicopter did came in that close that day, Cause they needed to stay far away from the Site! This was pre-done Fabricated act of war by ur own Nation to make it look like it was the, Saudis. It was your own government. A NYPD Chopper... Wot u think?
I am commenting on this from a personal standpoint, as a non American, I am sure I cannot even fully comprehend how people felt that notoriously historical and unfortunate day, yet I remember and respect this day each passing year. It is sad to see that its getting less and less recognition in some media outlets worldwide as time goes on... May god bless the the good people of the USA and bless the souls of the victims of that day.
I watch these videos, with tears in my eyes! 22 years and it never gets any easier to watch this! It's as raw now, as it was the day it happened and I guess it should be! This is something we should never forget! This was the worst day in US history! And I wish I never experienced it!
This is not the worst day in US history WW1 and WW11 The JFK MLK and RFK assassinations the 4 little girls that got bombed and killed at church on September the 15th 1963 60 years ago tomorrow in Birmingham Alabama was that not terrorism then they blew JFK head off 2 months later bc he was trying to stop the war had JFK MLK and RFK lived men of peace this may not had happened U reap what U sow history changed on 11 22 1963
My heart just SHATTERS for all the people who were trapped in upper floors from moment one. I say a little prayer to the universe for every body I see falling. I cannot imagine the panic friends and family who KNEW someone was inside must have felt. And I don’t think anyone is braver than the people who rushed in/back in/up to help people get out. The character of those who came from miles and miles away to help clean up and support New Yorkers is impeccable.
Wow at 8:50 you can see a couple people waving to the helicopter to come rescue them as you can see the reflection in the window. What a horrific situation
They were probably burning alive and couldn't take the pain anymore. I mean after all, it was a tower full of civilized human beings, not a bunch of death row inmates!! Just saying!! It's heartbreaking!!🤦♂️
They knew they were dead either way, the pain from severe burns is horrific and obviously there was no getting at that point. The fall from that height would have rendered them unconscious before they hit the pavement so in a way that was less painful then burning to death. Either way its just unimaginable.
The sad and horrible thing about this is a lot of the people who jumped or fell were conscious. I could tell because they were moving their legs and arms as they fell.
6:43 The firefighter was watching someone throw themselves out of the building and fall. When he throws his hands up, the jumper impacts something nearby. I cannot imagine how horrible it must be to watch someone’s final moments so close and violent like that.
9:13 the guy in the upper center of the screen using what looks to be a chair, trying to force the smoke out the window in desperation, knowing that these people will be forced to jump is just heartbreaking.

I'm glad you actually said falling. Instead of jumping. Because not everyone made a choice. Some were holding on for dear life to breathe and escape the flames and "fell" it's sucks! And it wasn't fair to them people or any human on earth. It's not right.. whatever happened that day?
@@MM-ig1ivwell, allow me to butcher some Shakespeare, "violent delights have violent ends", the US has been going around the globe for the past few hundreds years terrorizing and expanding their empire through genocide and torture so eventually the chickens went home to roost. 19 brave people (not good people, but certainly brave) took their fight to the imperial core and made a dent which has severely hurt gringos or as we call it around these parts "the good 9/11".
Yes very sad they were doomed from the beginning
@@MM-ig1iv I mean, we'll never know the line that divides the fell/jumped/was pushed categories, but I'll tell you, one's proximity to the fire was a determining factor as to their intentions. The folks closer to the inferno were much less rational than those higher up.
I litrrally can't imagine
I understand why in the moment, people would yell at the cameraman, but honestly I’m so thankful we have these raw clips to show future generations who will struggle to grasp the trauma and devastation that happened that day.
its so important to document things like this. without so much documentation, we risk losing the memory in future generations and repeating it

9:20 Horrifying and sad, those people hanging out the windows could barely get any air to breathe
They decided to die by their choice. Seeing them puts the horror in perspective.

@@andrewbell7579 Then there would have been even more fatalities lower down as people were evacuating. It's estimated that over 6,000 people got out in the 102 minutes leading up to the collapse.

The way some of these people are holding on is almost inhuman. Their behaviour seems practically surreal. This is what I find the most terrifying about the 911 footage, not people jumping (which is somehow redemptive by comparison). No rational person, no one in their right mind, would even contemplate hanging out of a window that high. It is unimaginable, but it is horrifying proof of what was behind them. As a fire officer said of that day: "How bad do things have to be up there if the better option is to jump?"
Videos and photos do not accurately convey the intense heat they had to deal with.
It was either burn or jump. No one should have to make that decision.
It is like a living nightmare whatever you do things get worse or do not work out. From a nightmare you wake up though.
Close your eyes for a minute and try to put yourself up there..... You feel the waves of heat and smoke on your back as you are trying to feel your way to one of the broken windows, the same windows that you have looked out for years while working in that office. As you make it to the window you hesitate to lean out until the need to breath takes over. You inch your way out while holding on to the beam till your head breaks out through the billowing smoke and are able to breathe again but this is a blessing and a curse. Now you can breathe but you can also start to comprehend the reality of your situation. Try to put yourself up there on that ledge.....the sound of fire crackling,the sound of the broken glass under your feet, the heat starting to burn your back, co workers screaming in panic, people frantically fighting and clawing to get a breath air from the broken windows, the wind blowing on your face and thinking "Holy shit this really happening" "I can't believe this is how I'm gonna die" looking down at the caos happening all around. must of been so surreal. Then you start watching people next to you start jumping. The amount of fucked up shit that went down that day is insane
his is what really fucks me up.
When the sprinklers went on and they got wet …. The heat and smoke it would have felt like they were boiling like a egg . The brain straight away wants to escape that and will do anything
Almost 22 years later and this day still resonates with me. Looking at all of my brothers staging, waiting for their call to go up into the towers and get to work on the biggest job in modern history. For 343 of them, it would be their last alarm. Faces and names that I recognize of those that never returned. God bless the 343.
So sorry for your loss.

I was a hotdogs vendor by battery park near the ferry. I couldn't work for 2 months. We were never the same. I had american flag on my pushcart, many people did. We were united. Whats happening today is sad. God bless everyone.
I've watched hundreds of videos, dozens of 9/11 specials on TV over the past 22 years and I can say with 100% honesty, I'm still as shocked/stunned by what I see...just as shocked/stunned as I was 22 years ago watching it on TV happening live. My condolences to everyone who lost a loved one. Being in the state of PA, a huge THANK YOU to the heroes on flight 93 who made sure no one on the ground got hurt/killed. Though I'm on the opposite side of the state, I'll never forget the terror I felt hearing a plane was missing somewhere over PA. I literally ran from room to room in my house and looked out the windows for it, then back to the TV for an update...then back the windows to look up to the sky...back and forth until finally, word came that it crashed in a field on the opposite side of the state. Soon after, we learned the heroes crashed it there. I'll forever be grateful. Rest in peace, victims. You are missed and NOT forgotten.

Was there a stand down order? Do you know how long it would have taken for a military presence to arrive, i.e., the national guard or the airforce? I'm honestly curious and was just pondering the questions as I watched...Haven't looked up a timeline of the military response yet.
What could the military have possibly done? I know that Cheney, exercising questionable authority, ordered the Air Force to shoot down the plane which crashed in Pennsylvania, but the gallant passengers took care of it on their own.
@@CatSpew1000 there was military aircraft flying around the towers not long after the first plane hit.
@@CatSpew1000airforce was conducting drills. They were right there and shutdown the airspace.
ah wow. The hightech cell phones that nobody had which everyone called their families from leaving strsngely calm comfortsble voicemails while foiling an attack.
. Those dubios pass ports left untouched, undamaged by the catastrophe around it.
You can see it in all of the firemen’s faces that they knew they wouldn’t be coming back down if they went up. That takes an incalculable amount of courage. God bless all of the first responders who fought to the last second.
The last floor for the first fire crew on the North Tower before it collapsed was Floor 65, according to one unnamed fire chief. As for the south tower, the last floor it reached was Floor 71. Elevators were destroyed so they had to climb up to reach the highest point possible. Both failed to reach the first destroyed floor to put out the fire because there was an obstacle full of concrete in front of them blocking their access to go further. Plus did you know that they have a satellite fire department in one of those towers? They aren't equipped to fight fires below them because they do not have a fire hose up there. Now the rebuilt World Trade Center has fire hoses on each floor so it does not repeat the same mistakes on 9/11.
@@pantherzone2008terry hatton & the crew from rescue 1 was reported to have made it to the point of impact somewhere around the 78th floor. Dave Weiss was last seen in the lobby trying to redirect members upstairs to help rescue 1 who had become trapped in a localized collapse before the actual collapse.
@@mrrodgers4692 Yeah and Orio Palmer reported from around floor 76 (or where the fire started) or so in the south tower. He reported about needing 2 or 3 engines to knock down the fire he was at. He also reported many casualties and injuries on the floor/s. Other firemen answering Palmers reports responded they were a few floors below soon coming to support him. You can hear these transmissions in several documentaries and in the released official recordings of the firemen's radios. I think Palmer was at the fires for about 5 to 10 minutes before the tower collapsed
@@pantherzone2008 Not much could have been done in terms of firefighting because I believe the water standpipe systems in each tower had been put out of action. Had one or both towers remained standing there probably would have been no alternative but to let the fires burn themselves out.
@@mrrodgers4692Yes. That's one confirmed story about Rescue 1. I felt bad for them to be part of the collapse. The Rescue 1 fire station has retired and now tourists visit the station.
6:17 is Captain Daniel Brethel of ladder 24. his warning to his squad after arriving were '' guys be very careful, because firemen are going to die today.''
sadly later, he and another firefighter dove under a firetruck both were crushed to death by the debris.
@jakefaust4509: You’ve got to be kidding me ?! Crushed under a fire truck ? That is devastating. - along with everything else that day.
10:42 - 11:39 if you zoom in and slow down the video you will see that person in the window right in the middle has a camera filming everything from above the wtc, and also talking to the person on the right side, if someone had managed to rescue that camera we would have the most amazing and saddest video of that day, RIP to wall them
You're right. Wow that would have been incredible footage. Crazy
Hand held cameras were hold from the side, it would be extremely hard to keep the flash pointing out straight like that at all times. Camera phones were widely available until 2003. I would like to think that is a Flashlight, maybe he was trying to grab someone´s attention, maybe do morse code...if you look closely looks like he is grabbing with ease , like a flashlight. If that tragedy would have occurred these days, we would have someone streaming from inside the towers in 4k, that would have been infernal to watch, horrible just horrible.
@@antoniovidal3915 I think it is a camera, the light we see is not some kind of flash but the reflection on the camera lens, it makes no sense for him to use a flashlight outside the window, there are several videos inside the wtc offices, some employees really liked to film the day to day inside the company, if you notice there is a part where the man on the side who was filming points to a specific location and he points the camera to that location, I am almost sure that it is a camera, a Canon maybe, 8:50 at that moment the person underneath him hands him the camera, he opens it and starts recording everything
How do you zoom in? Not sure I can do that on my tablet.

Don't think I ever seen this video. Sucks seeing all those people just hanging outside of the building like that. I can't imagine what they were feeling. Especially the people in the north tower seeing the south fall down. 22 years later and this still hurts to look at.
Well, "fuck around and find out" and "the good 9/11" (as we call it around these parts) was part of the finding out for the US.
By the time the south went down I think most above the impact in the North tower would have succumbed to smoke inhalation or the burns by that time
sucks? its funny. you are disillusioned. these peoples got exactly what they needed for funding islamic extremists under CIA operation cyclone under Carter doctrine and Reagan doctrines. they should be deported back to europe/africa en mass for their complacency in the US govt. actions. they fabricated wmds in iraq with rafid ahmed alwan al-janabi, invaded afghanistan CIA operation cyclone allies for what 15 saudi arabians did. Lol.
Oh boy, imagine getting attacked by 15 citizens of your "best friend" in OPEC oil sales requiring all other countries that buy saudi oil to purchase USD first. Hence, they were not going to be touched. The False flag invasions of afghanistan/iraq were done to appease the public who are generally low intellect people who believe anything these jews tell them.
when US taliban shows up at their elementary schools they will start to learn who really attacked who on 9/11
They were probably holding out and waiting for the fire to burn it’s self out and or people to come get them. That’s what we all thought was going to happen. Not for the towers to collapse.
Unfortunately there were many still alive in the north tower at the time of the collapse.
22 years and I'm still begging the first responders not to go in when I watch these. All of them are heros.
I don't know how they could have fought a fire like that even if the towers somehow never fell. And it would have been an ordeal for them JUST to get to the fires.
those men must have thought they would be putting out fires for weeks. May they rest in peace and for those who survived, recover from that day

You can hear the building creaking so clearly in this video!!!! I've heard it described by people so many times, but this is the first time I've been able to hear it for myself. Absolutely terrifying.
6:43, as the fire fighter clearly watches a desperate person jump from the tower, and he follows him all the way down. You then hear the impact, and the fire fighter's reaction is so painful to watch. We will always remember the victims and honor their legacy.
I wonder if he made it out safely.
@@dritemolawzbks8574 so much loss.
@quickmcglick: I really want to know the name of that guy @6:43. I want to know if he survived ???? Anyone know ????
You have no evidence the person falling was "desperate". More likely, the person was dead already having been in a giant fireball that consumed all the available oxygen. You have no evidence the firefighter watched said person jump. What you did see, and what is seen in the video, is the firefighter watching a something falling. What that something actually is - is never shown in this video. Everything else your brain invented to fill in what you imagined, not what you actually saw. This is true of most of the "jumpers" - they are more fairy tale than historical truth. As Young Sheldon says - "think, monkey, think!"
How the shocked young man being interviewed keeps staring up at the towers as he's talking, transfixed, shows how traumatic it was for him to see those planes slam into the towers. 🥺🧡
He was also seeing people fall out the broken windows.
Sadly, this young man passed away from cancer in 2017. Him and his wife had just had their second child. His name was Kwame leduc and his wife was the west African photographer fatoumata diabate

Suffocation is all I can think of I can't breathe and I need to get out of here. It's like where can I go. I'd probably have a heart attack or panic attack
the fires were spreading through the building, so they were feeling more and more smoke and intensifying heat. I guess that is what made them all jump or fall out - either smoke inhalation and passing out and falling out or burns they could take no more and then jumping out. It was a horrible way to go but at least their deaths were instantaneous and there was no more suffering, no more fear. I cannot imagine what else to say, it's so heartbreaking.
@@mrvk39there's a VR game about 9/11. Inside you try to find an escape, but you can't because the stairwells are blocked with fire and debris and you have a choice of either burning alive or jumping out the window and that's how the game ends
Seeing people hanging out of the towers always reminds me that it's entirely likely there were many people trapped on those upper floors who had no idea there was a wider terrorist event unfolding across the eastern seaboard. They could've simply thought it was an accident and had no idea their deaths would become some of the first in the war on terror.
Some people were already jumping from the lower east side of the North Tower before the second plane it. Those first victims never really understood the situation. They probably thought a bomb went off in the building as a couple calls from the north tower thought that was what happened
77 people from the restaurant in Windows on the World at the very top died.
There wouldn't be many since word spreads fast, especially among trapped people, but there certainly would have been some people in the north tower, either alone or in small groups, who never knew that it was an attack because no one was able to tell them that the other building had been hit too.
6:41 that firefighter reaction to the jumpers is haunting, we dont get to see it but he must have seen truely horrific things, imagine knowing that the order to get inside would come at any moment.

Nicky D they didn't thought the tower could collapse, at least not in less than an hour
Yes...Brave indeed.But what bothers me is the other 500 or so firemen who survived ,stood around and looked up at all those trapped people hanging for dear life,suffocating and jumping while they did nothing.
There was nothing they could do. Anyone and everyone above the lines of impact were as good as dead. They had no way of getting to them. So they focused on getting to the people below the impact lines out of there.
Nicky D they had to go to save people

As another year passes and the anniversary approaching, watching these videos make it all seem so raw and like it happened just yesterday. To everyone who lost their lives that day in NY, PA and VA Rest In Peace and God bless.
Wow that's pretty powerful. The look on the witness's face Kwami Ludec 13:20 is unforgetable. And when he relates what he saw all while starring at the buildings during which he sees jumpers. The reporter "They're jumping?" He points with a look of horror on his face "Didn't you see it?" How do you ever get beyond something like that?
As I have mentioned before, it was upscaled by me. The original resolution was 480p.
EnhancedWTCVideos great job dude
You did amazing! I've seen the same videos all over the internet for years but seeing your version showed me things I couldn't see in the other videos.
i posted this above, but since u talk about resolution here... " With todays technology, would it be possible to see the people hanging out the windows better? I see they restore old time videos from 1900's and they look clear. I think families might , well some of them might want to see their loved ones.... What does everybody think? I wouldn't want to though."
With today's technology with video and this same thing happening it would make it even more raw and real. This video is real enough seeing things I haven't in all the previous videos. And I have watched a lot. You can even get a glimpse of one if the jumpers bodies across from the staged firefighters ear the bottom of the stairs next to the bushes on the right at 5:30 below stairs. This was pointed out after watching the videos 2 times. I don't think I would want or their relatives today's level of video detail.
I was not expecting the smack sounds of the jumpers hitting the ground. That must’ve been horrifying to witness in real life. Grateful to those who stood strong to document this historical event.
Yet, the media wants to downplay all the jumpers and pretend they weren't even there. It's ASININE. It's the ultimate in the Nanny State. We should be OUTRAGED that our leaders got us into this mess and didn't protect us.
The right wing Christofascists had just forced their lunacy on our country and made the military fire dozens of Arabic/Urdu linguists that were translating all the chatter from the Islamoterrorists.

@@krashd No, that movie was about a different group of police officers who survived the collapse of the south tower. I believe the two groups made up almost all the people who were pulled from the rubble alive.
@@krashdHe along with one police officer, one civilian and 11 other firefighters were heading down staircase B, when the tower collapsed. They said it was collapsed around them, as if they were in a structural pocket that avoiding impact. It miraculously stayed intact between 4 floors and meant they survived.
They stopped to help a lady called Josephine Harris, who had made her way down from higher up the North Tower. When she reached the 20th floor, she couldn’t walk any further. So the firemen that thought that Josephine would stop them from exiting the building safely, actually saved their lives!!
That's not him. Captain Jay Jonas is in the Naudet video. You can see him in the lobby of the North Tower just before he leaves to go with his men up the stairwell.
Seeing the helpless souls at the windows really breaks my heart. RIP ❤️

Could have bolted if they wanted to, knowing they were probably doomed, but showed us the true definition of courage instead. True heroes.
Tomorrow is the 22nd anniversary of 9/11 (as of writing this).

It makes me so sick to see all those people at the west corner of the building holding on for dear life, knowing now that none of them saw past the hour 😥. I hope that they didn't feel any pain. Can't imagine what pure terror they had to have felt
We know they are not in pain on this earth now. Rip brave souls
I hope they didn't feel pain either. They lost limbs, body parts... so I pray their deaths were instant.
This might be the most disturbing video of most of that day... some have completely burnt red arms, holding onto the sides of the building, in hopes for any gasp of fresh air... I hate to mention this, but they were definitely in pain... 😢
Rest in peace to all these victims of this horrendous act of terrorism.

@@SMSimon yeah, that's what made it hard to see then, as now. They were in physical as well as mental pain; for they knew they were doomed with such a fire behind them so far up. But they held on as long as it was bearable because what else do you do?

Full credit to the bravery of the emergency services that day. Also, the calmness and dedication of those teachers guiding their children in their care to safety. Even now, some 23 years, these videos of that day are still so raw and devastating . This video witnessed the scenes beyond ground zero of the bravery and chaos. It is way beyond comprehension even now in 2023.
I think it's just doing your best with what you've got. The firefighters were going up to fight the fire, the cops were holding traffic, the teachers were guiding their students.
It seems to me the perfect distillation of humanity, of civilization. When we need each other, in the face of great peril, we do what we can, and we do what we are good at. Everyone tries to find their own way to help.
Sure, some people panic, some people are paralyzed with fear, but many will do their best to do what they can.
It’s interesting how your training just kicks in…shock/panic kicks in after. As a teacher myself I’ve experienced it even outside of school…
I had a rough day and was, you know, having “me time” via coffee and fries with mindless phone scrolling at a McDs nearby. Back turned to the door. At some point I hear this “disturbance” behind me but it was right after school so thought it was high schoolers “being teens”.
In my peripheral vision a few minutes later I see this young kid standing by herself in the aisle looking at something behind me, while two teen girls nearby talk to her about coming to them.
What had actually happened was that a stabbing took place just outside the McDs with the victim stumbling in and collapsing on the floor by the entrance, which was the disturbance I heard. This girl’s dad jumped in to help while others called 911.
So, the teacher training kicked in because I saw this kid looking upset, possibly by herself…and why were these teens calling to her? Before I even caught onto what else was going on, that was my first concern, starting with asking the teens if they knew her. They said no but said her dad was “over there” while pointing behind me. Only then did I turn to see. Even that glimpse gave me enough info that, again, training had me thinking “OMG, she should not be seeing this!”
After that, I got her over with the teens with her back turned and helped them distract her, while also checking in on them.
It was like weird tunnel vision! Only once she was back with her dad did I finally see that I would be exiting past a trauma scene (the person survived, thankfully), and that the building was surrounded by multiple first responder vehicles. The shock of that only hit me in the car.
I also watch these videos every year because we must never forget.
I call myself desensitized when it comes to graphic injuries or death, but when it comes to videos like these I will quite literally sob like a baby. I cant stand to see people in fear and pain
You LITERALLY just said you’re desensitized to graphic injuries or death and then said you can’t stand seeing people in fear and pain. That makes absolutely no sense.
@@GG-08He just needs to the all of us he likes to watch gore.
I mean it kinda does, you can be desensitized to graphic physical situations and still have empathy to feel emotional for the victims, you seem pretty aggressive towards them but they were just trying to make a point that even if they aren’t faint of heart they still were greatly affected by this tragedy, calm down @GG-08.
Can you imagine if those planes hit at 11am instead of 8:45 where the buildings were fully occupied with over 25,000 people in each building? scary thought
Joe JG that would have been so depressing 😭
Would of killed nearly everybody
For some reason this bit of information is regularly overlooked. During a regular workday, the WTC had over 40,000 people there. If they had hit the towers around or after noon...the level of bloodshed that would've taken place is legitimately unspeakable. In some horribly bizarre way, the terrorists hitting around 9am spared tens of thousands of lives :/
@@dissectingdarkness3560the hijackers would’ve definitely been more successful had they waited an hour later. Oddly enough, you would think the south tower that was hit lower would have suffered more casualties but the north tower that was hit higher trapped more people.
I would like to have thought if they waited later some of the plane's would have been brought down with possibly less air traffic waiting longer. Another thing that would have made things worse was if the plane's somehow hit lower on each tower. That would have trapped more above and resulting in more damage to buildings around possibly. They might have fell and pancaked the same .
Still just as horrifying 22 years on. What’s so painfully sad as I watch this video is seeing all those emergency responders kitting up to go into the buildings. I look at them and wonder who made it and who perished. Loved ones of those lost people must have seen these videos and on the most painful day of their lives seen their loved one still alive, doing their duty. Must be gut wrenching. And those poor people who jumped. I recall watching those in horror on the news. May God rest all their souls ❤️
You can faintly hear the poor jumpers blood curdling scream right before hitting the ground. Around 1-2 seconds before impact you can hear a scream then bang. Especially the ones around 8:20- 8:38.

Yes…and what they saw inside . I know they had made it to the Sky lounge and they were saying there were multiple casualties. Because the jet fuel went down the elevator shafts and created giant fireballs that burnt those people. Unfortunately those firemen didn’t survive since the tower collapsed soon after. What a horrible experience as a last memory.

So. Many. People. Just so many. Seeing the shear number of individuals, on just ONE side of both buildings, hanging out of windows above the impact zones is heart wrenching. So many people were stuck.
14:09 shows why eye witness testimony is not reliable. From the only video we have of the first plane hitting the North Tower he was not at all out of control. That plane flew directly into the building with no wavering.
That's a good point. When the first plane struck he probably couldn't believe that it was on purpose, so his mind adjusted it to be "out of control'. He got the second plane correct and you can see him trying to re-process the first plane strike with this new information (that it must have been on purpose) but isn't able to fully do it yet.
@@waltblackadar4690 For sure, it’s almost impossible for the normal human mind to make sense or set precedence for at that time what was an UN precedented event. The brain goes back to what it knows and is common and especially prior to this day a 767 Jet does not just fly directly into a building. “It had to be out of control” most would have thought that morning.
I remember watching it live. After the first plane hit, we all thought it was an accident. When the 2nd plane hit, we kind of realized it was not an accident.

Lost my first wife because of this. Left NY and will never ever ever go back!! The people falling when the first plane hit, actually were not jumpers. They were people trying to escape with zero visibility, and had no clue that where they put their foot down next, no longer had any flooring and got shot out like a slide. Others who fell who couldn't see, never expected floor or walls to be gone, and seeing light, raced to the exits, which was the wall missing and down they went. I can't believe this is 22 years later. Moved to CA, remarried and had kids.
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
RIP to your first wife
Most of the jumps were not accidental.
Those are pre charged explosive going off, it was planned
thanks for sharing and sorry for your loss.I hope you are doing well
At 00:34 you can see the woman waving for help where the jet first entered the building. There's a few videos about who she was and close-ups of her from zoomed in video and still images. Amazing she survived the initial explosion. It's so sad she wasn't saved.
That woman is presumed to be edna cintron (from what ive heard since the clothes and floor matched on how she looked and where she worked)
Idk how she managed to not get hit by any fatal debris being literally within the impact zone. She was probably alone through the entire ordeal considering the majority of those floors were wiped out. The saddest part is she survived the crash just to drag on the inevitable.
I _always_ look for her, now. She died waving to be seen, and not ever knowing if she had been, and now anyone who hears her story cant look at that image without trying to see her.
6:20 Capt. Daniel Brethel, Ladder 24(D) (who died on 9/11) is shown talking to a fireman named Haines (who is not on the list of those killed) and an unidentified one.
The name is only visible for a few frames (Haines' name patch is visible for a few seconds which led me to look for the other mens' names). But I thought it would be worth commenting on.
They're watching someone jump to their death. What do you mean no one had heard of that name? I don't get it. Maybe a guardian angel.
6:20
Seeing all those people up there in the floors above the inferno hanging out of the windows and clinging to the sides of the building, knowing that none of them made it. That is the most heartbreaking and scary sight for me.
Never forget.
Just the thought that,starting around 8:00, every loud THUD you hear is a body, a person hitting the ground turns my stomach. Those poor people that were forced to choose between suffocating/burning to death or jumping to their deaths, I can’t imagine…
I have spent 22 years thinking almost daily about those people hanging on the outside of the building, the ones who are in the windows with half a body outside, asking for help that would never come... That is the most heartbreaking and frightening thing, I am not exaggerating when I say that I think about it every day in all these 22 years. Imagining the despair and infinite anguish that those poor people suffered is something that goes beyond words, that always makes an impact on me, it is what has affected me the most but for some strange reason I cannot stop watching these videos.
Never forget. Don't let others forget.
All of what you said mirrors me. 💙
5:36 the eSpeed sign was for the company on the very top office floor of tower 1, below the two restaurant/hospitality floors. None of the people working at eSpeed that morning survived.
I also believe at 9:18 are employees of espeed/cantor fitzgerald many of them sadly jumped i believe
One man, a Cantor broker went down to the lobby to swipe in two IT knuckleheads who’d forgotten their IDs that morning. As he was approaching them at the reception desk in the lobby of WTC1, AA11 struck its north facade between 92nd and 98th floors. He survived.
@@megamillionfreak Those “knuckleheads” saved his life!
Had never heard that story,he must have survivor's guilt to this day. Those happenstance circumstances that saved him from the deathtrap inferno were his 698 co-workers didn't make it.
the jewish CEO survived. he was conveniently out of the office that morning!
One lesson I learned from this tragedy and the South Korean Ferry tragedy is when something happens and your guts tells you to leave, do not let anyone else decide your fate for you. Had some of these people follow their instance and left the building despite their leadership telling them to stay, they may have had a chance of survival.
8:30 you hear that guy hit the ground. So sad
It's actually 8:34. The sound at 8:30 was another jumper hitting the ground, but not the one we saw in the video. It's sad.
@@michaelcaplin8969 jesus
At 8:30 anyone catch the Shockwave ripple thru the building thru the window reverb?!
@@lostboi210 yeah wtf is that!!
@@michaelcaplin8969 Disgusting. I'm used to the typical concrete smash sound from jumpers, but that one at 8:34 sounded very fleshy.
I have no idea why I watch this stuff. It's heartbreaking, especially seeing so many people hanging out of windows that are literally doomed, people jumping to avoid burning to death, or hearing all those horrible thuds from people impacting the ground, the awning, the hotel, and just about everything else in close proximity to the building, but I always watch it with this weird hope that it'll end differently. I don't even know how to explain that and I'm aware of how crazy it sounds, but that's what I do, I sit and allow myself to think that maybe all the horrible things that are about to happen, won't happen. Every single time.
I can't put it into words either, but I know exactly what you're saying and watch for the same reasons. I think part of it is still disbelief that this actually happened. The sheer horror of it all, and I remember that day clearly since I was 15 when it happened. It's also probably because that day affected all of us immensely, and these videos allow us to see it from all angles. Maybe it's us trying to make sense of it all. Who knows...
I feel exactly the same way. I am compelled to watch these videos over and over. I was 24 years old when this happened, and my mind couldn't process it then. All these years later and my mind still just can't process it. In 1996, I stood at the top of the South Tower when I visited the observation deck and all I can do is think of how I would have felt in those poor people's place. I,too, sit and watch it somehow, hoping it will end differently. It's just so horrible. It scarred us all for life.
6:42 - This clip definitely ranks among the most horrifically memorable pieces of 9/11 footage. Watching their gaze follow an unseen subject down and the moment the younger of the two recoils, his reaction is all that's needed to convince you that you're lucky _not_ to have seen it for yourself.
Whenever I see him I always wonder if he made it out. For that matter I ask that about pretty much any FF that makes a cameo on film.
@@moceri55Can't remember his name, but I remember reading an interview with that guy specifically; I'm 100% sure he made it out.
@chriswakefield9538 I remember reading a SuperPaw doc that named him as a victim. I can't remember the source either though! Let me know if you find something either way
If you look at his eyes, he looks away from the jumper just before impact.
He died in the collapse sadly. Firefighter Michael Kiefer.
At 9:49, one of the jumpers hits the ground and there is one person watching them fall, He visibly looks away in shock when the jumper hits. So sad.
Yeah I can see him. Lower left corner and I think the man holding across the column looked away too. We can only guess at the hell those people went through up there
Oh yeah also one of the jumpers on the 105th floor on the right of the disposable handcamera jumper looks and then 1 second before they land they just look up in shock and disbelief
The young man being interviewed at 14:00 is very observant.
I found in the comments the information that he is dead from cancer in 2018 =(

@@daquavioushornswoggledilly1553 yes. Find info in the comments.

At 8:37 you can hear the guy hitting the ground. That’s incredibly heart breaking.
You can hear him yelling too 😢
What is clearly apparent from some of the close shots of both towers impact zones:- is the extent of the fires. Blazing orange flames can be seen rising from floor to ceiling near the edges, that were being driven by warm 70 degree breezes being channeled in through all the broken windows and holes left by the planes. Presumably, burning embers were also being carried up, down, and through the building into new areas, where they settled and started new fires while others burnt out.
The top floors of the North Tower were lit like a torch, burning like a tip of a cigarette with extensive fires on at least 10 floors at all 4 faces. In the case of the South Tower, footage from the largely unaffected west face, showed areas of black smoke that had penetrated through the entire floor. Another plume of smoke some 20 floors above also showed smoke escaping from a broken window. It seems obvious all the floors above the crash sites were being increasingly smoked out minutes after the crashes.
By the time the North Tower collapsed at 10:28am, I believe most people at and above the crash site had already perished either from the fall, asphyxiation, or the heat of concentrated fires. I am inclined to believe that at least 500 people that died in the South Tower's unexpected collapse were still alive as the top portion came down. The fires above the impact zones were far less extensive and the smoke on the upper floors less severe. It is one of the biggest tragedies that day that so few were able to find and descend stairwell A to safety.
who are you?
the fire should not have brought down a steel building. they weren't really that on fire compared to other incidents.
yet... only on this day did this ever happen. not before or after
I'm sorry... like a torch. no.
@rodanone4895 Did you perhaps miss the giant gaping holes in the buildings left by massive commercial aircraft smashing into them at full speed?
The fires did not bring down the buildings. The structural damage they sustained in combination with the infernal heat gradually weakening the floor tresses to the point they could no longer hold the floors above, did.
@@Lance012012 did you miss the parts where they were designed for 5x normal loads and impacts with FULLY FUELED Boeing 707s which were not only the prevalent jetliners at the time, also roughly the same size as a 757 which is what hit the buildings.
and... I'm an engineer so i know a little bit about steel, jet fuel (which burned for less than a minute and was largely aerosole in format after the plane was shredded by the STEEL.) no melted steel... plenty of cut steel in the wreckage a la thermate/thermite. I'm SURE I know more about the physics of that event than you do or you'd be asking for a new investigation.
NIST's explanation violates Newton's first three, as does popular mechanics... see david ray griffin.
also... see Hulsey's work on building 7... no gaping holes in that building.
nice narrative there though. very artistic.
anyone want to talk about MBS and Saudi being tied DIRECTLY to the funding for the event? ask yourself: why was Kashoggi killed? what was he working on... 911. facts.
@@rodanone4895 Architects and Engineers for 911 truth website, ae911truth, has given explanations for the collapse of the three steel-frame buildings, measuring 220 to 410 m tall. Saudis, at least at the top level, had no reason to harm the USA, as Saudi Arabia is a client state, and they are not stupid to send their own citizens as hijackers.
Look at another client state in the same region, a bit further north, for probable involvement, using Saudi patsies. Cui bono?
@@rodanone4895 I studied engineering and have read the official investigation of how the towers fell. With your reasoning, I hope you haven't designed anything similar.
I never get tired watching vids from 911 over and over again.
34 yo but that day I was on vacations. I saw Live the second plane crashing but then I went to the beach nowdays its amazing review this day almost HD
Francisco Javier Segura So do I my friend. I was 11 that day... and since then almost every year I want to review it over and over, seeking if theres some new footage or information... Sad day.
As do I
Yeah, its a weird point in history that now all of this time later seems almost like it didn’t happen. Not that it didn’t, but you know what I mean. And we’ve never seen clear, cleaned up footage like this.
Exactly. I thought I was the only one still watching these vids.
There are bang-splats audible at 8:06, 8:22, 8:30, and 8:34 which indicate jumpers striking the surface below. There also appears to be a warbling scream of agonized terror audible at the 8:38 mark, followed by a bang at 8:43, as if a jumper struck a vehicle or awning. There might also be a faint scream at 8:27.
8:27 “Ahhhhhhh, Oh Shit”
crazy
At 8:22 you can see in the bottom someone on the ledge then letting go. Its horrific how they had no choice but to jump. Rest in peace
Psycho
It's weird to see scared firefighters.
They probably knew they were going to die. They looked so concerned😭😭😭😢
Alot of the firefighters said they knew going to the scene they were going to lose guys at this operation, but I don't think they knew it would be that devastating to where they would lose 343 members of the FDNY
@@BOBBYSOX86 I must say that this would've been a good day to QUIT if you were a firefighter!! I know that sounds harsh but let's be real, you'd have to be on a SUICIDE mission to step in those buildings!! Real talk!!🤦♂️🏃♂️✌
Sabían del peligro y que era un suicidio entrar en esos edificios
Out of all the victims on 9/11, I feel the most sorry for the ones trapped above the impact zone in the North Tower's upper floors. Flight 11 hit the North Tower in the center and destroyed all three stairwells and was hit pretty high up, and the fires in the North Tower were very severe. So the people trapped above the impact zone in the North Tower's upper floors were suffering from the smoke and heat, and that's why a lot of people jumped or fell from the North Tower on 9/11. So it was complete HELL on the upper floors of the North Tower on 9/11.
That’s because it was the first plane that hit. And nobody expected it. The people in the south tower could see what happened to the north tower so most of them left the building before the second plane hit. Out of all the victims on 9/11 the least worst one are the one who died right after the first plane hit without knowing what happened.
Really? I never knew any of that 🤡🥱🙄
@@Chimp981 yeah no nuts. These people actually died. Three thousand men women and children.
Just because it was allegedly a falsified attack does not make the lives lost not real.
How much of a scumbag can you be
@@Chimp981what a lovely person you must be huh?
Both towers for me
9:48 I feel SO sorry for these poor souls! 😢 The pain is indescribable. Gravity was pointing in the wrong direction for them. Absolutely devastating.
Every time I see these images and video of people hanging out the windows 100 plus stories up. My palms get sweaty like hell. What a nightmare.
this is the most tragic and visible video i've seen of 9/11, it is heartbreaking
Same and I've seen them all. This is like watching it live all over again it's that tragic. I hope those terrorists are rotting in the very bowls of hell.
Usually police and fire folks are so calm in emergencies, 911 is one of the rare moments even the emergency responders were in shock and distraught over what was happening.
I highly doubt it about the camcorder. It was shot by a professional TV camera guy, Angelo Martin for WABC-TV. I resized the footage to 1080p HD. A bit too much for an already compressed video in DVD format... 720p would be better.
You do amazing work. Thank you.
6:16 Capt. Daniel Brethel company Ladder 24, just after that he went to the south tower where minutes later he died
He’s talking to Fitzroy Haines who died of a heart attack 9 years later
the guy who made it down 20 floors on the outside of the tower will be forever be a legend. RIP my man you did the best you could. 😪
The main theory on what happened to him it when the south tower collapsed and it got him by surprised.
The outside of the tower? How so? 🧐
I think this may be an urban legend. There's no way you could climb down that, there are literally no handholds or anywhere to hold on. One guy did make an attempt but fell for this reason.
I think that's him at 8:22, he looks like he's supporting himself between the columns and then slips down. So horrifying
@@thomas.1995 🙏🏽🫢
8:23, you can see someone in the middle window 3 floors below the major flames, sitting and then jumping.
i believe that's falling man :( he worked in the sky restaurant.
@@mynameismark25 It's not the falling man. The falling man jumped from Windows on the World which is near the very top of the building. This guy was a few floors below the impact. Still sad all around.
I forget where I read it, but it’s believed this man was able to slide/climb down 3-5 floors somehow using something to lower him down. Had he managed to break a window, he might’ve been the only survivor from the upper North Tower floors that day. Though this was shot around 9:45 so he probably wouldn’t have time to walk down all the stairs by then.
Very sad to think about because most of the “Jumpers” slipped or fell doing anything possible for air.
That does look like that the man who was trying to scale the tower, I think he was being assisted my others from the inside who probably watched him fall
@@maggaveli6764 Not to be confused with the man trying to scale town the east side of the South Tower.
6:42 person falls possibly landing on the awning
8:06 another person falls possibly landing in the middle of the street
8:23 a man throws himself out of the building, possibly landing right on top of the awning
11:36 a person falls from the north tower hitting a light pole on West Street
14:44 a man notices another person falling from the north tower, possibly landing on the awning

I have very few memories before 5 years old, and this is unfortunately one of them. I remember being 4 years old and my mother crying and me watching the television and her explaining what was happening and I remember feeling so sad for the poor souls who perished on this day. My dad was firefighter too and I remember this day was incredibly tough for him to get through.
God at 8:10 all you keep hearing are the loud bangs of bodies hitting the ground. So freaking sad... God bless their souls. At 8:50 its heart breaking seeing all those people in the windows... jeez..
did any of those people jump?
@j mula no firemen say they heard explosions which they then realized were bodies hitting the ground, the sound sounds just like an explosion
@j mula oh sorry, i misread it
You can see a person at 8:06
At about 6:45 those men are watching somebody jump. My father was an ironworker 580 working on a building on 14 st and one of the planes ( think #2), most were trying to just get out of the city fearing an obvious attack. He spent the next month or so aiding in search and eventually recovery. He lost his best friend that day. My uncle KENNETH WATSON, a firefighter for the FDNY engine 218 out of brooklyn. When this happened a new kid was late for work and when the event happened he was done with his shift. He geared back up and jumped on the engine. Leaving the firehouse they passed the new ( late) kid. He said" hey kid, you snooze, you lose". Typical Kenny who was also an ironworker before fdny. He was 16 minutes into the first building before it came down. I cant express how brave everyone was that day. Knowing the possible outcone. Real men and women. May you all rest in paradise ❤❤❤
our world ended that day. the one that replaced it is much darker and hostile.
Exactly. That day started off so beautifully. By noon, it was already known that this country was going to change...not in a good way.
This is when ptsd took over the states. When leftists became terrified to offend anyone, especially islamists.
@@Anthony-ni1mm it does make sense.
It's an opinion, not a fact, but it definitely makes sense.
After this event the west changed for the worse.
@@Anthony-ni1mm Makes sense you're a democrat.
Actually, the world has been very dark and hostile since 1776, this just made a tad bit worst
I think at 9:24 the ones that are hanging out of the windows for fresh air to avoid the thickness of the smoke and intense heat are the employees from Cantor Fitzgerald floor 105, counting down the floors from the Windows On The World Restaurant floor 107 you can clearly count down 3 floors from the Restaurant and see Cantor Fitzgerald employees standing near the ledges of the windows, at 13:02 clearly that's the 107th floor Windows On The World and the person can be seen waving a tablecloth or a white sheet, cause just above the 107th floor are the mechanical floors from 108 to 110.
Wow... I'm from the Netherlands bro, Amsterdam. And till this day this still haunts me deeply... I'm not kidding.
I posted a comment not to long ago down here, how I've seen it and it won't leef my mind and thoughts that are still full of it.
But ur a person who got the whole layout of the timeline and the sections of the building in details. May I ask? Did u loos any friends or Fam that day? I hope not, than againg we did loos fellow citizens. Me to that day. I sincerely believe that ur own government was behind this horror act, looking at, Bush in Florida holding a child's book upside down as he was attending a class of afro American kids? Things does not add up. Allso... Why were the fighter jets been called out so late to intercept the sec. plain that was still out there hedding for the South Tower??
I mean... Till this day I feel that something is still wrong with ur Nation.
Sincerely Wrong For God's Sakes...
@Jonathan at 8:50... Does that look like an ''NYPD chopper flying by the windows'' No, it does not wright?
Some ppl in the chat up in ere are full of sh!t/crap! Look at the amount of smoke after the rippelefect when it happens. So much smoke whent true the sections at the same time. U can see that. Ur a smart person. Are ppl realy this blind up in ere? To me... they must be.
No helicopter did came in that close that day, Cause they needed to stay far away from the Site!

You can see its a young Asian man😢
I am commenting on this from a personal standpoint, as a non American, I am sure I cannot even fully comprehend how people felt that notoriously historical and unfortunate day, yet I remember and respect this day each passing year.
It is sad to see that its getting less and less recognition in some media outlets worldwide as time goes on...
May god bless the the good people of the USA and bless the souls of the victims of that day.
9:07 it is insanely eerie watching this clip, seeing the people at such close range hanging out the windows. RIP to all of them.
I watch these videos, with tears in my eyes!
22 years and it never gets any easier to watch this! It's as raw now, as it was the day it happened and I guess it should be! This is something we should never forget! This was the worst day in US history! And I wish I never experienced it!
This is not the worst day in US history WW1 and WW11 The JFK MLK and RFK assassinations the 4 little girls that got bombed and killed at church on September the 15th 1963 60 years ago tomorrow in Birmingham Alabama was that not terrorism then they blew JFK head off 2 months later bc he was trying to stop the war had JFK MLK and RFK lived men of peace this may not had happened U reap what U sow history changed on 11 22 1963
My heart just SHATTERS for all the people who were trapped in upper floors from moment one. I say a little prayer to the universe for every body I see falling. I cannot imagine the panic friends and family who KNEW someone was inside must have felt. And I don’t think anyone is braver than the people who rushed in/back in/up to help people get out. The character of those who came from miles and miles away to help clean up and support New Yorkers is impeccable.
Wow at 8:50 you can see a couple people waving to the helicopter to come rescue them as you can see the reflection in the window. What a horrific situation
Too much smoke for any helicopter.
You can even see them stop waving after the helicopter leaves😢

its so hard to hear the people landing on the concrete. i can never imagine what they must be going through before they make the call.
They were probably burning alive and couldn't take the pain anymore. I mean after all, it was a tower full of civilized human beings, not a bunch of death row inmates!! Just saying!! It's heartbreaking!!🤦♂️
They knew they were dead either way, the pain from severe burns is horrific and obviously there was no getting at that point. The fall from that height would have rendered them unconscious before they hit the pavement so in a way that was less painful then burning to death. Either way its just unimaginable.
The sad and horrible thing about this is a lot of the people who jumped or fell were conscious. I could tell because they were moving their legs and arms as they fell.
Or above fire trucks
@@rustykuntz94 No, a fall from 300-400 meters up does not necessarily render you unconscious. Why would you think so?
6:43
The firefighter was watching someone throw themselves out of the building and fall. When he throws his hands up, the jumper impacts something nearby.
I cannot imagine how horrible it must be to watch someone’s final moments so close and violent like that.
The people who survived are permanently traumatised.
9:13 the guy in the upper center of the screen using what looks to be a chair, trying to force the smoke out the window in desperation, knowing that these people will be forced to jump is just heartbreaking.
