3:10 anyone ever seen this woman since? I’ve seen that clip of her thousands and thousands of times but no idea who she is. The clip sticks in my mind more than any other that day.
@@phoenixmodellingphotographyThis is history now, and there are adults out there now born after 9/11 who can legally drink. People not understanding how scary this was because it came before their time was bound to happen sooner or later.
They were trying to save themselves from a worse death. She broke off from completing that statement - out of consideration for families at home. She did not want to out that picture in their heads of their trapped relatives. One man did in fact succeed in climbing down 20 storeys of cladding - rockclimbing was his hobby. But then he fell. Others seem to have been so blinded by the smoke (it’s so hot & biting) that they went for the one glimpse of daylight they could make out - and inadvertently stepped & slid out of the open sides.
It’s interesting to watch these videos because people were asking what would be the US response. The invasion of Iraq looks even more stupid now as a response to 9/11. our government made horrible decisions in retrospect and they played on our fears. I remember hearing about Russian suitcase nukes being smuggled across the southern border by terrorists. Everything seemed possible and looking back we realize it wasn’t that dangerous at all. 19 hijackers took advantage of bad security and intelligence and flew some planes into buildings. Very deadly but nothing along the lines of nukes or biological weapons and everything else they tried to frighten us about.
Whoever has power will always be able to use fear in order to guarantee our compliance with anything and everything, no matter how obvious that whatever we're agreeing to is directly opposed to our best interests. It'll work every single time no matter how prepared or educated we are, crazy huh?
What’s intriguing to me is that the hijackers only had knifes, and a “detonator” for a bomb they didn’t actually have. For some reason, I had always assumed they had actual firearms they’d smuggled aboard.
It was a garbled report by CBS, I believe it was Dan Rather who stated a car bomb went off at the state department and then corrected himself. There were a lot of mistaken reports of fires and explosions in DC because of all the smoke from the Pentagon fire, I think there was also a rumor that the Mall itself was burning.
Never happened. It’s an interesting example of what occurs when everyone, everywhere, who do the same job as you in television broadcast are experiencing the same shock of what is happening and wondering what happens next. Rumors spread through mixed messages.

I always remember her and the guy right before her and wonder what happened to them.
I never realized how scary all of this was.
🤨

Where did this "car bomb at the State Department" thing come from? Most news outlets reported this, but it was obviously wrong.
A rumor that spread through the fear and confusion.
Im sorry i know she was erratic but to say people where jumping out of windows to try save themselves...

Quite a lot of "jumpers" were actually people who fell while trying to climb down to a lower level, so she wasn't exactly wrong.
Yea the gentleman I think your talking about only fell apparently when the other tower collapsed and caused such tremor that knocked him off@@eh1702

It wasn't
It was probably confusion
