This gentleman was featured in a National Geographic documentary about 9/11 that was shown on TV I think within a year of the attacks. In it he describes in detail what he experienced that morning. In my view it’s the best 9/11 documentary that’s ever been done. It lays out everything as to how the hijackers prepared themselves, including booking and boarding their flights. I wish more Americans would take the time to watch it.
"Take you back to that day when the eagle cried," ain't that the truth. Regardless where he's from, he's a true American and wish more people were like him.
@@justinwilliams3927 That's what makes America so great. Where almost all from somewhere....My great great grandparents came from Czech, and other parts of Europe, if my name doesn't give it away
I've heard about Stanley and Brian back in 2003 but never heard the whole story until now. What an amazing testament. Truth is definitely stranger than fiction.
*24:38* - _"We didn't look any different because we were covered by the same ash."_ All of God's children who are washed in and covered by the blood of Jesus do not look any different from each other because we are reflections of Christ. (2 Corinthians 3:18)
i go back here just to listen to that few minutes where he said the plane was just on his eye level and he couldn’t think of anything else but “Lord I can’t do this, You take over.” whenever i think about that line i just idk... idk what to feel. and whenever i think about how big the explosion was in south tower, i remember the desk where he dove in. God is amazing
Out of all the 911 stories that I hear Stanley's and Brian's just really sticks with me I just can't imagine looking up and seeing a plane coming towards me and I have to jump and Run for Cover and everyone on that floor died on impact but Stanley so that tells you something, and they were on the 83rd floor that was nothing but God that was with him and Brian that day God is real and you won't make it in this world without him I'm so glad that Stanley and Brian survived because they can tell their story to people and give people hope may God continue blessing Stanley and his family and Brian's as well, Brian and Stanley were each other's angels that day 😇
Interesting accent. Love this guy. It’s amazing that he seems to be a completely sane and mentally stable after what he saw and experienced. I would be in the looney bin!!
God is everything, this story and Brian’s were so touching and what I love the most is that God saved them and they are aware that if it wasn’t for God they wouldn’t have survived
The phone call from the woman in Chicago saved his life. Otherwise he wouldn’t have seen the plane and had time to duck. He was the only survivor on that floor.
Not sure if Stanley will see this message. I came across your story and it changed my life. Thank you for posting it. I accepted Jesus into my life and now I too have a story to tell how He has delivered me! Thank you!!!
I struggle with this story. I want to honor Stan and send so much love his way. I am so thankful he survived and came home to his wife and daughters, and could someday walk them down the aisle. I just can’t reconcile this version of the story with all the people who didn’t make it out. You would have to believe that God loves him more, or Stan loves God more, or Stan did something right over the course of his life that others didn’t, or any number of other beliefs which are not loving. I desperately want to believe God can and will protect us, but the story of 9/11 is too tragic and complex to isolate the survival stories and hold them up as evidence of God’s power. All that aside, I am glad Stan survived. Twenty years later, and I still haven’t forgotten. Never will.
If you read the Bible and ask the Holy Spirit into your life, you will understand God's sovereignty, his wrath and his love. There is no partiality in Christ (Romans 2:11). There is a time for everyone to die though and you will meet Him whether that's tomorrow or 60 years from now. You make that decision today while you're alive if you're going to follow and obey Him. Most don't want to because they want to live for themselves (not saying all the people who die tragically...that is just life). But the fallen evil in this world is demonic and Satan has an agenda. God uses that evil for good in many ways. Jesus Christ wins in the end.
@@hidden_inchrist Thank you for sharing, but your perspective is not the least bit new or foreign to me. And it comes nowhere near resolving the dilemma I raised.
Hi @andrew5184 you don’t have to believe God loves Stanley more or any of the things you mentioned. As humans, we expect events to have reason, answers, you know, make sense. That’s not always the case. It’s ok to question, ask why, be angry, etc. This is Stanley’s story & his recollection of events. JS, The Bible is full of stories of God’s favor & wrath. A book named “Why Bad Things Happen to Good People” helped me many years ago after a series of traumatic events. Check it out if u wish. Best!
@@missemiss1970 Stanley has a right to tell the story however he wants. But placing the particulars of this story aside, I find these narratives are not as helpful as I think some who believe similarly to Stanley intend them to be. What I read you saying is, we humans are meaning making creatures. We have to find reason, even though it cannot always be found. I certainly understand that. What if someone is in the audience who lost a loved one that day? How do we hold space for the victims of that day and the complexities of a tragedy like 9/11? These questions are more rhetorical than anything.
Notice what he said. He said he doesn't know why the people called on their god and he didn't answer. He said that he called on "His" God and He answered and delivered him. Not everyone pray to the same God. His God heard him and saw fit to spare his life! Not taking away from all the beautiful lives that were taken. But there were others who were spared not just him as well.
without detracting from the emotion and power of his expression of experience, how does one explain why god answered his prayers and not the thousands of those who died horrific deaths that day?
He said it. It was not his time! It is such a tragedy and still seems like just yesterday so many lives were lost and many spared. When it is not your time it is not your time.
I think it has something to do with listening 👂 listening to that voice when he says … take the buss not the train, or leave the building now, or take those stairs not these… everyone I’ve heard who survived that day seemed to be listening to a voice inside directing them. If you don’t listen he can’t help you. Even one lady was gonna wear heels but said she heard a small voice in her mind tell her to wear flats…. We have to be listening when he speaks
I was thinking the same thing, the terror for all those that didn’t live wasn’t right. It wasn’t there time either, the terrorists took that away from them
He is Indian by descent. After slavery was abolished, the British brought East Indian labourers to the Caribbean and then British Guiana to work as indentured labourers on the sugar cane estates.
I could listen to Stanley and Brian tell their stories all day. Such great speakers. God bless.
Me too!!
same. they are my favorite 9/11 survivors. their stories are just so amazing
Don't forget Sophia Cannon. She has recently opened up about her above-the-impact story.
@@destructionman1 her story seems fake tbh and I haven't seen any other survivors mention her
I’ve watched both telling their stories. I can’t get enough. The same Jesus who performed miracles in the past has still been doing it until today.
this was no luck how do you surive an impact hit an everybody dies

He's from Guyana

His personality and Demeanor show me a few reasons why they call him "Stan the Man"

I can listen to him and Brian talk all day
Thanks for people who help others ...

Hell yeah Stan the man.
This is like when Jesus told his disciples go and spread hi word and miracles.

@@bacaworld7095 makes sense when you explain it that way
God chose them to testify about that day
Love you guys(Stan & Brian)😘
I also though he is Indian. Because of his surname Praimnath and his looks.
He is Indian by descent. After slavery was abolished, the British brought East Indian labourers to the Caribbean and then British Guiana to work as indentured labourers on the sugar cane estates.
Gutted he didn't mention Brian and his breakfast platter!
Brothers In Ashes
Unbelievable!!
He has Leukaemia now. 😢
