My cousin is married to a guy who was in Tower 2 when the attack happened. He was on the 67th floor I think he said. And when he finally got out of the building there were jumpers hitting the ground. He still goes to see a therapist because of the things that happened that day. My cousin told me he has horrific nightmares occasionally and that he once told her that as he exited the building a jumper impacted the ground about 75-80 ft from him and he was blasted with blood splatter and parts of the body. And he said he can't ever get the sound of the impact and the view of it out of his head. She said she hears him crying in the shower pretty often. He's such a great guy too. It's unimaginable what it must be like for him. Update... Sadly Matt took his own life on Dec. 27th 2022 . He left no note other than ... " I love you and I am sorry " On a dry erase board on the refrigerator of the home he shared with his wife ( my cousin ) and their pets. He had recently been diagnosed with Small Cell lung cancer after a few weeks of having what he thought may have been a chest cold or Bronchitis. The Cancer was already quite advanced and he was told he had a short time left and that Chemotherapy and other treatments would probably do little for him and would likely make what time he had left more miserable and shorter.. He was 56 years old
That is absolutely heart wrenching. My heart goes out to him or anyone that is an unbearable weight to hold. Not only that but so many other issues. God bless his soul and take that burden away. 🙏
@@jenniferlloyd9574 Don't shoot the messenger. This is what a Bishop at the Vatican has been recorded as saying and we all know how caring and compassionate the Catholic church is? don't we????????
I would never recover from seeing that. People just don't realize the most valuable asset this world has is PEOPLE. Every human being is like diamond. Doesnt matter how GOD created you.
The people who jumped are the single most disturbing thing to me on that day. Imagine going to work like any other day, and not even an hour later you are jumping from one of the buildings. I can’t even comprehend the thoughts racing thru those peoples minds before they jumped. Terrifying
Within 3 seconds I knew exactly what he was talking about. The level of helplessness, terror, loss and rage all hitting at the same time is immeasurable.
Me too, but it wasn't how they say it happened, it's all coming out, but it won't be comforting to anyone who got caught up in this crime from within. 🙏
Remember the lady on the street that kept shouting, "that is not a passenger airplane!"? It was refueling jets with no windows, and a missile lodge underneath,released a moment before impact. Watch the live news clip carefully, and pause it, or slow it down, if you can.
My two uncles were living in Boston Massachusetts at the time and as soon as they saw the towers on TV they went straight to the Army Recruiting station they were both deployed in Iraq
I still can't get near that area till this day without getting anxiety. I was one of the lucky ones. I was supposed to be on floor 90 I was running late so I stopped at the lower level buying breakfast. So me not caring od being late that day saved my life.
Out of everything that happened that day, those jumpers had the most impact on me. I worked at a church and I was constantly crying in the priest's office about it.
Right that was the part that was the hardest to even believe much less imagine When i heard alot of people were actually jumping my mind could barely process it It still can't honestly
You ever seen a Galiger show? You know the guy with the giant mallet and the watermelons, well imagine that but its a lot of watermelons at once being dropped from hundreds of feet up and the impact is pretty similar or for some reason for some people spaghetti reminds them of intestines or something i dont really get that one
@@TheRealRusDaddy no its not similar to that.. A human body's max velocity is about 130mph (less if you fall on your stomach with your hands out skydiving style, more if you are higher in elevation - like in the upper atmosphere) anyways, after that you wont fall any faster no matter how much farther you fall from. All objects have a max terminal velocity. A body hitting the concrete at that speed wouldn't vaporize it, it wouldn't be like a watermelon being smashed. If you still dont believe me you can find photos and videos on gore sites of people who have jumped from sky scrapers. A guy not long ago jumped from the empire state building from a window near the top.
I seen a man fall off a building at around 90 feet. He didn't evaporate but it crushed every bone in his body to where he was jello like making it horrible as hell for the ones who had to remove him from scene! That was at only 85 to 90ish feet. These folks jumped at over 100s so yea it would've been a very terrible scene.
He was my commissioner(NYPD) when I was hired 7/2001. We were pulled out of the academy for 2.5 months from 9/11 morning until late November. It was a big wake up call and made us all in the NYPD academy grow up overnight.
Bernard Kerik got a raw deal. Something about not paying 200k for fixing his house and getting it free or something and someone blew the whistle and crapped all over his name. I know he and Giuliani worked their asses off during 911 just for Kerik to get discredited for a discount or something.
Analysis of a Crime with a CD. I pray you and all your colleagues who were there that day are in the best of health. I was in Hell's Kitchen and my niece woke me up with the news, unforgettable. I remember smelling the soot from home.
@@orlandovazquez9662 I really appreciate that. It is scary to def so many coming down with different illnesses from breathing in toxic dust 9/11 and the months that followed. Thanks again. It means a lot.
How heartbreaking that all someone has to say was "they're jumping" and you know exactly what they are talking about. 10 seconds in you just know. Ugh. 💔
I am glad I DIDN'T SEE IT. BUT I HAVE TO ASK WHAT DOES HE MEAN EVAPORATED ,?I KNOW A YOUNG LADY THAT HER BOYFRIEND GOT MAD AND THREW HER CAT OVER THE BALCONY.. SHE IS STILL WITH HIM. THE CAT WAS DEAD BEFORE OR AFTER IT LANDED I? AM NOT SURE. I NEVER DID ASK .
I will never ever forget as long as I live. I've listened to and watched every piece of footage and media from that day that I could find. I owe it to those victims. The regular everyday mothers fathers and sons that were simply going about their lives and were then murdered.
On that day they showed on TV a lot of stuff that was never aired again (and with good reason). I saw a woman jumping. While falling, her skirt was being lifted and she instinctively held it down with a hand. Seeing such a normal gesture in such an extreme situation was a punch to the gut for me. I cannot even explain it. She felt so... Human. I can't imagine what must have passed through her head at that moment.
Yeah I’m familiar with that woman. So horrible. Then I’m thinking: Did she do it out of decency or did she do it so she could see the ground coming to try to brace for the impact? Not that it would help. 😢 The other one I have an issue with that is burnt in my head was the guy who tried to tie off while he hung outside the building. The knot wasn’t tight and he just dropped. It gives me a horrible feeling in my chest. These people are the ones who matter. These people are the reason why we don’t accept all the cover-ups by our government. The absolute horrors that occurred that day should never be allowed. We should never allow another normal day until all these people are brought to justice.
That lady dropped her 2 kids off at kindergarten, and less than 45 min later she had to make that decision to either jump to her death or wait until the 2500° fire engulf her. And she didn't want anyone to see her underwear as she fell... I can not even begin to imagine what she felt in those moments.
Yea a bunch of stuff was never showed again from 9 11 and one thing is were the newsstation showed the cgi plane going all the way threw the tower,,also all 3 buildings were wired!!!! Building 7 got what they call pulled!!!!!! So dude could collect on insurance Mike Bloomberg ,,also yall CAN thank our own pedo government demons along with isreal!!!! TO start all the no b.s.,,,,,,plus the isreals who got pulled over in a van!!!!! The very demons that done that are the same demons shoving BIOWEAPON SHOTS in folks right now ,,throw your TV away just 4 indoctrination from darpa and cia
I also had a friend that jumped to his death by accident. It was a 70ft jump off a cliff into a quarry. You had to run to jump out about 10ft to clear the rocks below. He was younger than us. I had a gf that was a few years younger than me and this kid was friends with her. He was the kindest most friendly lil short guy I probably knew in high school. Anyways, we were jumping in groups of 3-4. We jumped, got out and were walking away. You could hear the people screaming and laughing as they jumped after us and hit the water. Well I want to say 2-3 groups after we got done were jumping and I heard a girl scream and another say omg he jumped head first. I didn’t see it, but heard it. The first two splashes sounded normal, but the third one was different. I turned around and everyone was running towards them. We’d jumped in, but he was gone right away. He ran to jump and tried to stop at the edge, but couldn’t. He went straight down and hit the flat rocks that were about a foot or two deep into the water. To make things worse, the next summer his sister who was a year younger got into a car accident and got killed. I felt so bad for those parents. Their lives must be torturous.
I hope and pray that every innocent soul lost on that awful day is resting In Peace with the angels. You may be gone but I swear you will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. 😢
I had a professor who was visiting the city on 9/11 and was there at the base of the buildings at the time. He witnessed the jumpers, and he never came back to teach. He had a complete mental breakdown after the experience. The substitute professor, who was only supposed to be there for one class, became permanent for the remainder of the semester.
First firefighter killed on 9/11 was Danny Suhr from Engine 216 in Brooklyn. A jumper landed on him. I had the same thought. Was on the Brooklyn heights prominade watching it in person. At first we couldn’t tell what was falling. Then we realized it was people. I think from our vantage point we watched a few dozen people jump. It still haunts me 21 years later.
We were watching it live on tv. I was in first grade. All of a sudden my teacher burst in tears. Later we found out her dad was in top floors of the tower. He didn't make it. As a class we planted a tree for him by the field. Now it's ginormous. I hope the tree stays there for many more years. This was in Brentwood, CA. LA
The thing I admire most about these videos is the fact that you're giving these men a place to talk about the things that they seem to be holding on to for so long.
I couldn’t agree more. It’s amazing how many people judge men for speaking on their experiences, but empower women to “share their story” as if it is empowerment
The show is so amazing because 1, it allows these men and women a safe place to get their nightmares out and 2, it allows the curtain to be pulled back on the reality of what is sacrificed and willingly surrendered to keep the WORLD as safe as possible. You're an amazing person Shawn. Never change! God bless you
I remember watching it on TV. You could see people jumping. I was sick to my stomach. Crying, crying, having trouble believing what i was seeing. So horrific.
Watching they call her “the lady in the dress” she jumped and her last bit of dignity in life she as holding her dress down as she was falling to her death. That picture will never leave my mind
Then why did you continue to watch? W my then gf at a demolition derby a car explode an she turned away put her head on my shoulder. I watched because Like most everyone else I wanted to watch! The guy had jumped out the car so fast an was laying between his car an another. Never saw him until car was out an medics walked with him to the ambulance. People love to watch death is very interesting mysterious to everyone. We all know we will one day die.
I saw firefighters inside the foyer pre collapse and they were bewildered at the loud bangs that were happening sporadically only to realise they were the sound of people hitting the canopy. Truly horrifying for those men, I wonder if they, any of them, made it through that day. No words, just no words, I don't have the vocabulary for that. RIP All the victims of that/those days.
That's my most vivid memory of that morning, too. I think those firefighters were assembled in the foyer and preparing to ascend the steps of that building...
@@matthewlamp3088 yeah, that's my memory too- the fire chief was briefing them as to who and what etc, I seen a documentary later which revealed, sadly, that the bulk of those brave men were to lose their lives that day. Sorry to say it but that's what happened. Bad day for everyone involved and for those men and women who paid the price when the war on terror began. They didn't kill a couple of thousand that day, the tally must run to high five figures if not six! The dirty scumbag cowards.
@@poppaleggansquat3640 Yes sir, l remember the look on their faces...they knew what they were walking into and went up anyway. That's the definition of "courage". RIP to those fellas and like you said, their friends and families were made to pay a price, too. Take care, pal
@@jessestinson9252 I'm a teenager, there are countless times I've heard 9/11 jokes in my school. It's either no one knows what 9/11 is or make jokes out of it. It's sad all around.
Imagine the flames about to consume you and making the choice to jump 😥 it still bothers me more than any other image from that day and I wasn't there, I pray for those that witnessed it and for the family's of the fallen we will never forget none of those souls 🇺🇸
I was a senior in high school and was home that day. I’m mom came home screaming, I thought we were having another D Day. I got outta bed and went to the living room and started watching with her. We watched live the second plane go into the second building. I mentioned that stuff was falling and she looked at me and said that’s ppl that are jumping because they can’t get out. As a freshly turned 18 year old the world stood still that day, and as a 39 yr old woman now, I still can not believe it!
Most of them didn't jump. They were at the windows trying to get air as the flames approached but the metal heated up so much they could't hold onto the window frames .
@@everywherenowhere6901 now how could you possible know that? I know they didn't tell you,but believe me if I was about to be burned alive I'd jump in a heartbeat, God had them in the palm of his hands before they ever reached the ground but still the saddest shit I ever witnessed for sure..
The photo of the man falling in midair headfirst really affected me for ages knowing he took the option of going the way he did. My heart is so full of sorrow and heartbreak for whoever he was and for his family. Rest in peace to all who perished on that fateful day, you're not forgotten. God bless you all
What people need to understand is that those poor people were actually burning alive in there in such extreme temperatures plus the smoke inhalation which would have been beyond bearable for even just a second. They knew they were going to die as nothing could be done to rescue them so jumping out into the open air would relieve some physical discomfort and in the hope they would be unconscious before they reached the ground.
I myself am carrying the same after all these years of that man just like you. It's embedded in my brain and it makes me cry carrying that image since that day😢
Watching this live on tv as a 12 year old kid, the image of a man free falling to his death is still ingrained in my head. Can’t imagine what it must have been like to be on scene
I remember that sound of the bodies hitting the ground live on the news as it was happening. That sound will live with me as long as I live. I can still hear it when I think about it. It was absolutely soul crushing.
Watching two people holding hands as they jumped is burned into my memory. I watched from the comfort of my home. I can't imagine the trauma the survivors of that event are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you all 🙏💗🙏❤️
They are the two that traumatized me when I seen it that day I was pregnant with my daughter and was called and awakened by family, as soon as I turned the channel, I was forevermore changed.. RIPARADISE
How incredibly sad and what a tragic day! My mother worked in Tower 2 and left for a doctors appointment 45 minutes before the first airplane strike. I'm in California and my wife wakes me up and says "Babe, you need to come and watch this". Of course all the phones were jammed and I spent the next 18 hours watching this unfold and desperately trying to reach any family members in NY! I finally reached her and at 41 years old, I could not stop crying!! All of us were a mess and so sorry for the victims of 911 and at the same time, so grateful that mom was safe! What a nightmare!
God bless you and your Mom, and I'm so glad you didn't lose her on that day. I was in the hospital with my mother watching it on TV. She was gone a few months later.
I live in Phoenix and at the time my girlfriend called me, woke me up and told me to turn the TV on. Shortly after that, I could not make a call on my cell phone. I was in Phoenix and the line jammed we need to be prepared for emergencies even if the power went out for a week people would go crazy imagine not being able to get water out of your faucet because the water pumps don’t work, something is simple as that could really break down society one week of no power it would be ugly.
Everytime I just hurt for the first responders, the trauma these men endured. You can hear the emotionless in his voice, he’s played this through his head a million times. I’m so sorry.
The worst part is after experiencing all this trauma the city of NY abandoned them, didn’t pay for the cancer treatments that an insanely high percentage needed from exposure to the toxic smoke, and didn’t pay for the therapy they all needed so much. Finally after like 20 years of delays and legal stalling the city finally paid a settlement to the fund much much too late for many first responders.
The picture of the man falling head first might be the most heartbreaking images I have seen. I was supposed to go help with aftermath and search for the lost but I was in paramedic class and my spot was given to someone else from my dept. At the time I was upset but know I know I could not have handled it.
I can remember that day like it was yesterday. As a Canadian my heart broke for my American brothers and sisters. I knew in that moment everything would change and that a lot of people were going to die. Here we are so many years later and have things improved? I’m not the one to answer but I am grateful to be on the same side as the US.
Thank you 🙏 for that.. I too remember like it was yesterday.. on my way to a mangers meeting and I had two rookies with me cruisin up Highway 65 about an hour away from where we lived & when I got to the store where we held our meetings there were only 2 workers inside and we all said hi to one another I ran upstairs real quick to the training room & no one then across the way to the room where our meetings take place & no one .. go back down stairs and ask the 2 that we’re there what gives & they say everyone’s in the big break room .. as I walk in with 2 rookies in tow they all turn to see who walked in and every single one of them had tears in their eyes.. A moment later the second tower was hit!.. just couldn’t believe what I was watching as it unfolded .. but once again thank you my Canadian brother ✊🙏 stay safe.. blessings to u
We haven't had another major attack like that from foreign terrorists so its improved in that way. But it almost hurts more when the attacks come from your own and you're scared to send your kids to school or go shopping or go to theaters. So I'm not sure how to answer that. But thank you for your kind words 🖤 we'd certainly always stand with Canada as well!
Many people have certainly died as a result. I’d be surprised if the number isn’t at a million at this point when you think about civilians around the world
This comment section is so filled with pain and sorrow, it breaks my heart to see. On the other hand, the lack of anger, hate and calls for vengance, (which would have been more than natural) moves me profoundly, and instills hope and even pride on behalf of humanity. Thank you all!
Vengeance is normal as well because they were dancing, celebrating, congratulating and feeling proud of their horrendous accomplishment like October 7th.
There were calls for vengeance at the time of 9/11. There was flag waving, grief, pain and anger. There was shock and a coming together as country. The people of the US were far more united anyway before 9/11 even happened. After 2008, the country has been being intentionally torn apart. After 2012, in earnest.
Even now it’s extremely disturbing to think about. It makes my soul hurt. I can’t imagine the trauma that it induced on this guy to watch it rain human people. It’s absolutely sickening. May god help the people who are still afflicted to this day and forever going forward.
If you were old enough on 9/11 to realize what was going on you definitely have PTSD. When I hear stories from that day...21 years later I'm still crying like a baby.
Let's NEVER forget that our own Gov't was complicit in this entire scenario and the country has never been the same since! They perpetuated this evil on us....smdh!
I didn’t realize how many jumped till I watched a documentary following the fire fighters and it was constantly and continuous till the buildings fell. Had to be hundreds of peole
well put yourself in the peoples shoes... they have a fire basically pushing them out. they didnt willfully jump, they were forced to jump or burn the natural reaction to being burned is to move away from the heat. and horribly the only place they could find cool air was out the window. r.i.p. to everyone who lost their lives in 9/11
"They basically evaporated." I was 27 when this happened. I went to work and remember seeing all the planes turning around going back to the airport. I was working directly under i-40 ramp to downtown Memphis under the "new bridge" Then seeing 100's of undercover cars rushing downtown. After seeing that I called my wife, cell phones were out but not like now, and as soon as she told me the wtc's were down I was saying no baby that's impossible, all phone calls were cut off. Then later I saw on TV what happened while I was at work. I'll never forget so much from that day, one of the biggest is seeing the people jump. The helplessness you feel. Then to hear this first responder explaining what happens brought it all back in a instant. The entire world has not been the same since 9-11-01.
As hard as it is to imagine willingly jumping from such a height, you have to realize they weren't jumping because of the threat or possibility of burning to death, they were literally in an oven beginning to roast. Every breath was burning their throats and searing their lungs.
@@boostedb18b14 Hey Scooter slow it down a notch or two, allow those training wheels to serve their purpose, which is to get you reading and comprehending at a middle school level minimum. Maybe some comparative context could help you, the burning buildings have become preheating smokers/ovens, steadily rising temperatures from superheated gasses and smoke, will treat the human body no differently than it does to chicken, pork, venison. There won't be any visible flames leaping from you, but cook, roast, bake, you most certainly will, ya follow me Scooter?
Being a native of NY I will never ever forget that day, being woken up by someone who was in the military in his uniform saying we were being attacked. I will never forget it. R.I.P too all the people we lost on that day.
The heat drives you. It's unimaginable I've been in ,near homes etc on fire and that heat is amazing But, the heat they felt from Jet fuel would be incalculable. Most of us would jump without much hesitation Heartbreaking
We’ve been taken over “cultural jihad.” Just see and hear what our sadly misinformed young people are doing across these United (?) States of America. It’s like witnessing the Hitler regime all over again.😢😢😢 Terrifying.
It's a bit of an exaggeration. You can look up pictures of the jumpers. You can still see their bodies they're just disfigured with pretty much every bone broken.
Not an exaggeration. I saw a video of the guy hitting the sign when he jumped and it looked like he turned to pink mist almost like a giant water balloon. Sad.
I was in the 8th grade getting ready for school turned the t.v on thinking I was gonna watch some cartoons and it was the news live. Still oblivious to what was going on and then the seconds tower gets hit ...that was jus intense but when I got home from school the news was jus showing ppl leaping from building the crazy thing is the camera would like follow the ppl almost all the way down then it shows more jumpers from a wider angle shit was unreal. My ❤️ Goes out to the Families who lost loved ones that day.
I remember seeing the first jump on TV after that I realized they didn't want to burn alive they chosen instant death,that forever changed my whole aspect on life and people to why it was done to innocent lives that had nothing to do with the government and what went on behind closed doors
Yeaup our own government did this or allowed it to happen on purpose. And all I ever see every sep 11th is , "sUpPorT our tRoOpS"troops. Instead of holding the sacks of sh1t who did this.
@@honestpolicy5031 Yeah, even though Iraq had nothing to do with it. Revenge? Is that why 33,000 Iraq and Afghanistan vets have killed themselves so far? Lmao!!! They don't even have to try. Yall taking the trash out yourselves. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was a horrible day. I remember working in a hospital in lower Manhattan and it going into disaster mode. We set up triage rooms and staff waiting in the parking lot for casualties. After the towers fell only seeing people walking north covered in dust and ashes. Walking home afterwards and looking back at the smoke and hearing this eerie quiet in the city, people crying in the street. I had to keep reminding myself this was real. Every New Yorker alive that day still has that trauma just below the toughness. Just ask and you'll see us look off and try to explain what we saw, and then the tears usually start to fall.
Hey Farisa, I was a 3rd grader in California when it happened but my memory of seeing it on the news before school is so vivid. Feel so much more you as a New Yorker and fellow American. I'm with you.
I have an older friend who has lived in Manhattan his entire life. He's as peaceful a hippie as I've ever met (and still that ultra cynical NYC type I love so much), but in those rare occasions when 9-11 has come up over the years, his entire demeanor changes. He goes quiet, and you can see his eyes almost burning with the memories of that day. By far his most vivid memory of the event (that he'll talk about, at least; we certainly don't push him for stories) is how the stench of rotting human meat just blanketed the city for weeks. He said it was so thick sometimes that you could almost taste it. I'm sure he saw plenty from where he lived at the time, but I don't poke around other people's traumas for fun. And after the first time he mentioned that dense smell of death, I was usually the first person to try to change the subject. He doesn't need that kind of memory popping up and becoming a conversation when all we're trying to do is go camping. Thankfully, 9-11 isn't a regular topic of conversation in our group of friends, and everyone cares about him enough to let him be.
That's so Dramatic and dumb. All of u are privileged and entitled. Your not living in the Hallmark channel do save your misty eyed looking off in the distance for pity story and shut up u have no clue what personal trauma is not one single iota so count yourself lucky. I'm embarrassed for u right now
The towers did not just fall. That was controlled demolition according to experts. 9/11 was (used as) a false flag attack to start the war on terror. WTC 7, third tower, no aircraft crash, also controlled demolition.
I remember, I was living in London at the time and we had all been sent home from work as the UK thought they may be targeted next. I sat in a pub with countless others, in stunned silence, watching the TV and seeing the people falling from the towers. The images in my mind from that day I’ll never forget.
Been there also. However, imagine visiting ground zero, with all the debris still lying there, and it was just fenced off. They were cleaning and searching that rubble for YEARS. I'm 26, born in 1996. Visited ground zero around 2002, and was obviously only 5/6 year old child. I didn't truly know the extent of what lay before my eyes, but I will NEVER forget the pit in my stomach and the feeling that hit me that day. O almost burst into tears,and I didn't even have a CLUE that it was something sad/bad. There is an energy that remains at that site. It's quite different now, but still there. Not as sad. It was honestly like the deceased innocent souls were crying out for help back in that time around 2002. And you could feel every last one of them. Insane truly.
You should check out the morphic resonance theory, I think it makes a lot of sense about why even hundreds of years later some places can still affect us this way.
I remember being up in the Trade Centre observation room before you go onto the roof in 2000. At the windows you could look down the building. You can see the building swaying because it was that tall. To think people jumped. I have no more words.
I'll never forget that day. I was at ground zero. I wasn't even completely aware of what was going on. I knew a terrible accident had happened at the towers but not that it was a plane or a terrorist attack for that matter. I started hearing what I thought were gunshots. I'm naturally a little more curious than I should be and I decided to make my way towards the gunfire to see what was going on. As I rounded the block facing tower 1 that's when I realized that I wasn't hearing gunshots at all. The sound I was hearing was the people jumping from the building hitting the ground. The absolutely destroyed bodies. The sounds of their demise. The smell of flesh and blood. It all lives with me every day and it's undescribable in its total scale. You really had to be there to understand fully just how terrible that day was. It changed everything about my life. Everything.
I'm sorry man that's rough. The perpetrators will never be outed, or prosecuted. If the west coast gets nuked, you can be sure the same heartless thugs either did it, caused it, or just let it happen. Evil sons of bitches. Those people are less than a mosquito buzzing in their ear at bedtime. They have a reason to swat the mosquitoe. I guess they had a reason to pull that building with everyone inside too. Money, control, bloodlust? But unlike the mosquito, they never bothered them, or suck their blood. In fact, they are the blood suckers. The enslavers, and the executioners. Sorry, not trying to politicize your experience, republicans are no more, or less evil than democrats. They are exactly the same. A rigged game to keep us at odds. Just like the NFL, or any pro sports. I just can't believe there are still people who think a few pakis who could fly a Cessna we're able to take over a commercial airliner, and steer it into a slim tower in the sky. Upon impact that aluminum skin busted right through those steel I Beams and evaporate. The diesal fuel getting so damn hot it melted more steel! Then, another paki hit the other one just the same. Both on the first try. I wonder why a news team was filming the building that day anyhow? Like who gets that boring ass job? Okay Bobby, it's your turn to go film the towers in case any planes hit those twins. Oh! I was wondering when I got to do that again boss! I thought you were mad at me! It's been so long since I've been able to spend 12 hrs filming a fucking building! And what a day he had. Both the towers felled by an aluminum airplane, and then 3rd building too! Building number 7 felled straight down as if it were pulled. Out of sympathy or some bullshit. I think it was empty though.
I was a kid in 6th grade in NY as my teacher came back to the class balling tears about the attack and our parents were coming to get us... My mother came and got me and she was crying..and I didn't understand but felt the pain of every single conscious adult in my immediate environment.. I also remember 10 years later to that exact moment I was looking at a picture of Osama bin ladens face on a newspaper cover that said "we got him"... However for me... I was waking up still in full gear from the patrol earlier as I was heading out to fight a second time that day and blood was indeed shed... Sadly as I gained a grasp of what happened shortly after 9/11 I had always felt lied to ... That there was something sinister behind it all and that looking at the faces of bush and Cheney and rumsfeld even though I was a child I knew... We were being deceived somehow and I stand by that still... But seeing the Taliban's deep hatred for us and their abuse of women and children in front of my very own eyes... Was justification for all my deeds and I sleep well at night because of that... I am however deeply hurt by the unshakeable feeling of our nation being hurt and lied to by dangerous and greedy men. Someday.. the light will shine. To all the innocent who have died in 9/11 and all the actions thereafter may you rest in peace in this life and prosper in the next. For those who stepped forward with evil intentions that day and every correlating event thereafter... I'll see you boys in hell and we can continue to settle our issues through unfathomable violence but until then may you suffer here until that very moment. Rant over. Remember the lives! Remember the lies!
100% man. It never made sense to me. Military runs deep in my family. Literally all the way to the Civil War. I don’t blame any soldiers. You don’t get to choose where you serve or your mission. But a day before 9/11 Rumsfeld is saying 2.3 Trillion is missing. Then there’s no verifiable video of the attack on the Pentagon. Tower 7 falls just from an overspray of “jet fuel” which is actually just diesel. Diesel doesn’t even burn that hot. But no one, well, almost no one asks WHY a group of Muslim people would orchestrate such an elaborate scheme to attack the most powerful nation in the world? Obviously it was hatred. But WHY did they hate us so much? And it all goes back to the US playing geopolitics just like McNamara did in Vietnam. We simply can’t keep our nose out of other county’s business. And this time, we went too far. And we paid the price. And subsequently, so did thousands of innocent Afghans. I 100% lay 9/11 at the feet of Clinton/Bush and their administrations. Lost several friends over there. Rant all you want. It’s deserved. We WERE lied to.
Extremely well said, and thank you so very much for all you did while you were over there. You’re right, it shouldn’t bother you, you handed out justice to those deplorable, wretched, radically evil people!
Our own people were also responsible. There’s no way around it. Of course I don’t consider them my people, they were traitors hiding $3 trillion in lost defense department funds.
I have been to the site before it was cleaned. I just lost myself. No words could describe that moment. I hope all that were there that day, survivors and those who lost their lives find peace.
The people jumping is what I remember the most..I remember a black lady and a white man both crying and praying then they held hands and jumped..that image comes back to me over and over through the yrs..I cried so much for them and for all of it, I was laying down crying for days that i got ear infections in both ears from the tears going into my ears.
I didn't know anyone that was affected that awful day. I still feel like I lost family that day and then after years later I did loss family and that was everyone that went through this because everyone is my American family.i love you all in Jesus name amen
@@raidermaxx2324That's a very normal thing. A quick Google search would sort you out. Just because you can't comprehend it, doesn't mean it isn't real.
I was in 9th grade, during freshman elections our principal told us at assembly and sent us back to class. We watched the second plane hit live in the classroom then we were sent home. Watched the news for 2-3 days straight. Then seeing the “falling man” newspaper cover made me realize just how many had jumped. Insane. Horrible
Nearly the same, only I was in 8th grade. I will never forgot the sheer terror in my teacher's voice as we watched it live on TV in the classroom. Then, like you said, a few days later we see the image of the man diving head first off of one of the buildings, and I just remember feeling so sad about that. He knew he was going to die and just decided to accept his fate. It still causes my stomach to clench when I think about it...
I was in the 9th grade as well. It was 2nd period; I was in my business tech class, and we saw it live on TV. I'm 35 now. I still remember it like it was yesterday.
The amount of humanity in the following days that I witnessed in Cleveland and I'm sure around the nation was something I had never seen. It wasn't races, it wasn't nationalalities, it was complete strangers , people asking if they knew anyone there. Everyone was somber but very courteous to one another, an elderly woman asked if she could give me hug. There was just so many acts of kindness like I had never seen before or since. It's incredible what such a terrible act of devastation can bring out the deepest compassion towards one another in the most sincerest form. God bless all effected by 9/11
@@justintime753 I believe that but people that don't look at the events months to a week leading up to that tend not accept it. So many things if they would research it. I spent 2 years looking at American Airlines stock, Joe Biden's plan for Homeland security proposed in 95 but shot down bc y was determined a castraphy to happen for it to be created. But I will just say it was terrorist either way.
Ngl, if I had to jump, I'd absolutely want to hold hands with my co workers. As soon as I read that comment, it have me a sliver of peace for those people that they weren't alone.😢
@@Pearl-st.53 yeah and much much closer too. The worst ever attack on American Soil and it was all cleaned up and all the metal sent to china to be melted down and reused. Why not the American Steel foundries, there are plenty. It was gone in 30 days!!!It should have been investigated better as we heard nothing really after that. Talk about disposal of evidence. Some of the supposed attackers were still alive. The plane where the people fought and it crash landed in Penn or where ever there was no debris just a burned area with finger sized metal pieces. The general who checked it out said that was the remains of a missle not any plane and no body parts whats so ever were found. Impossible. Too much to be not be staged. The evidence goes on forever. The investigation should have gone on a long long time. These people are the smartest of us they know how predictable and gulliable we are, and dumb. We were so upset we couldnt see right. Most of everyone Ive ever met and talked to about it knows the truth. But there are some who just stick their heads in the sand and never look at the facts and believe whatever they are told to believe then defend it like its their home.
I remember having to go to school and it was so strange as some kids didnt go. I live under a flight path in California and it was so quiet even the freeway was empty.
It really is about options. It's interesting to see all the different reactions that people have from remembering that event, I was 20, and that's what I remember too. No fire trauma from youth or anything, but first thought that followed from the emotional response was yep, so much better way. Horrific but the other option...no without thinking no, not an option
This was the thing about 911 that haunted my dreams. It was that people were so scared, desperate and panicked that they jumped. The heat and smoke must have been excruciating. The pain. The hopelessness. I cried that day. Went to my room and cried. Didn't let my dad see. Didn't want him to think I was soft. It bothered me. To this day. We felt it. Even here in Montreal.
I was 3 and I remember it because I came downstairs and saw my parents and grandma watching the morning knews with looks of horror like I'd never seen before. I was coming down to ask for breakfast, but when I saw them I knew something had happened and I just sat at the table with a book. They came out a bit later and tried to act normal but they were very tense. I asked if something had happened and my grandma said "yes. Something very, very bad". She told me years later that her first thought once the shock had faded was "We are going to war again", and it caused her great sorrow
I think most of us do. I quite often recall all the heroics we saw. My most loved recollection was a TV clip. It showed a young man on an overpass...I believe he was in Wyoming...not sure why I think that is where he was....waving the biggest American flag. That remembrance makes me cry every time. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 God bless America.
@Troy Coleman Same...this younger generation needs a dose of true Patriotism and what it means like we experienced that day. I'm not saying something like that should happen, but I am saying it will take something rather jolting for them to ever respect America. I truly thought in the first day or so that C09vid was going to do that. We would rally together like Americans always do and beat this thing TOGETHER. It wasn't 48 hours Nancy Pelosi started with her hateful political rhetoric and once it was politicized...well we all know the rest.
@@wendyc1902You’re 100% correct. This generation is going to have to experience something jolting/reality shaking to truly get it. Sad, because I felt such pride in being American - we were all brothers & sisters after 9/11. It just didn’t last….
Shawn Shawn Shawn…. Thank you! Thank you for giving these hero’s and wonderful men a place to come in sit down and actually be heard. And let them feel understood and appreciate for the hellish work they’ve been through. Thank you And thank you sir for saving people on that fateful day I hope you find peace from that because I know the sound stays forever
It was the day I realized something about myself... I operate only on cognitive empathy... I felt nothing over what happened, tho I can agree it was horrible.
You have nothing to be ashamed about I was 38 when it happened and I was scared to death that whole day! I remember going to sleep that night both of my kids slept in my bed, I was in the middle and we all held hands as we feel asleep saying our prayers.
This was and still is such a sad and horrible time from our history as a nation. I am a vet. If I were physically able I would still be in uniform and standing by my fellow brothers and sisters. My heart breaks when I think of this day. I stand and salute our brave men and women who serve, our first responders who take the help to the streets every day. You are all heroes and deserve more credit than you receive. Peace be with you all and than you for all you do
I know someone who was in one of the buildings in a lower floor, and was told to run to the bridge and when she ran out, right in front of her a body fell on the ground. This was so sickening and sad and knowing what I know today, may God Bless each of these people who were killed. May they RIP, and may the evil pay for their crime.
I saw a video of firefighters inside one of the towers , and I remembered hearing these thuds every couple seconds . Later I found out it was the sounds of bodies hitting the ground , I’ll never forget that sound as long as I live
Me too. I remember watching that video and thinking, what is that crashing sound. And then someone in the video said something about people jumping. The sound never leave you. 😢
I remember watching people falling and my brain could not register or comprehend what I was seeing. Watching footage of so many brave 1st responders response when they realized what the massive “thuds” were was heart shattering. So much was lost that day with thousands of tragedies but for me, that one sat the heaviest on my heart and still does till this very day. Heartbreaking. ❤
How do you hold your own government responsible? Especially when the administration changes so often. They needed an excuse to go to war and so we made one big enough to rally the entire country. In kind thousands and thousands of innocent men women and children were killed in the Middle East. Two wrongs don’t make a right? Crazy ass world we live in.
@@jakeman025 I get pretty pessimistic about it. Feels like the wheels came off the wagon a long time ago. This mentality of never let a disaster go to waste is sick. Politics is winning at any cost and we need better than that. There is no honor, no line that can’t be crossed. Personally, I don’t want to spend what’s left of my life trying to fix it, but that’s most people I think and now the problem is so big, I expect it to only get worse until there is a complete break down and bold tyranny is here to stay. These two private clubs of Republican and Democrat need to be cleaned out. We need a massive reset. Our identity as a country and what it means to be an American have been purposely muddied. There wouldn’t be huge changes from one administration to the next if people held strong moral values and held themselves accountable. There would be arguments but the arguments would be about what is the best way to accomplish the agreed common goal. We don’t agree on what is right anymore. Because for decades politicians have worked to divide us. They don’t engage us in debate about the details of government, they just point the finger, make accusations, and promise handouts, and we just let them. They pass 1200 page bills initiated by some intense concern and buy the votes needed by including crap for special interests that have nothing to do with the reason the bill was brought in the first place. So how do we hold our government accountable, at this point, I’m not sure we can. That scares me a lot.
@@scottjohnson9032 sometimes I wish the neanderthals would’ve killed all Homo sapiens back in the day. Yeah we might be a little shorter and a little wider but perhaps we would have a different chemical makeup that makes us do horrible things to others of our own species.

Another part of this entire debacle is religion after every mass shooting I look at the comments all talking about relying and praying to god it amazes me that in 2022 we still have people that believe and think that if they are a good person than this magical god will take care of them and not let anything as happen.

@@Najiyyah This is true. Oklahoma City, TWA Flight 800. A woman whom married into my family, her dad worked for the CIA. I don't know what he did there. A few months after flight 800 was her wedding to my relative. Her dad, was an oddball. Really weird. During the reception, I approached him and asked him if that flight was shot down with a missile by our government. He freaked out. His face, he looked like he was seeing a ghost, I kid you not. He turned and walked to the 2 far walls. He stood in that corner the remaining 2 hours of the reception. His wife brought him fruit punch and stayed by his side. He wigged out. I'll always remember his reaction. It was extreme and because of that he assisted me with answering my question.
I will never forget watching the news crying, and then a plane hit tower#2... I yelled NOOOOO so loud!!!! My heart was crushed...Tears still, until this day😞 I was 21yrs old, today I am 42, and as I said, I will never forget.
I was in 5th grade. I remember all the kids from school were getting picked up. One girl knew what happened though and I overheard her whispering to another girl
@@HelloHaven98765 Yes, of course. I'm sure someone from every race was killed. Someone from every religion was killed. Someone from every sexual orientation was killed.

Just watching it play out live and seeing videos of the jumpers has always stuck with me. I cannot begin to imagine what it's done to the people who were there and the families. 💔
I’ll never forget that Tuesday and I was off work and I got up to make coffee and I had the news on and I heard something about a plane flying into a building and I don’t think I peeled myself away from the TV for the next 24 hours. To this day, I still get choked up when I think about those people and the desperation they must’ve faced and knowing it was certain death to jump, but it was certain death to stay where they were I can’t even conceive of having to make that decision! They were the brave ones no doubt!
My cousin worked in that building. That day was crazy! Nationwide all of the phone lines went down as well. We had landlines at the time. It was pure chaos all travel was stopped as well. Lucky for her she went to a concert the night before and didn't go to work because she was hungover.
I only saw it in a documentary about that day, but I will never, ever forget that sound. The fear they must have felt to make that leap is unimaginable.
I only saw it on live tv as my teacher turned it off realizing it was people after 30 2nd graders just saw what she saw i was 8 years old and i know what i saw and this whole generation has ptsd from it … and for once in my life a school shooting wasnt the worst thing that could happen to me
I watched the attack from my office windows at the Brooklyn Bridge 3 blocks away. The people who were falling looked as if they were floating down. Watching people crawl out of the windows and try to hold onto or stand on the windows sills will be etched into my memory until the day I die. I also recall in the months after the attacks, there were street vendors who were selling portraits of the people falling, standing in gaping holes inside the buildings. I couldn't believe they were allowed to have those portraits displayed and available for sale!
I saw them selling the pictures, I could not believe it; many people were walking around with flyers of their loved ones asking if we seen them; many look desperate 😢
One of our coworkers was at a meeting at windows on the world. I will never forget it. We knew he was there, we knew for sure he would never get out but we kept hoping against hope that a helicopter would save him and the rest of those people. A day I will never forget God bless all those people who went to work on a beautiful Tuesday morning and were forced to end their own lives. Tragic isn’t the word it’s just still unfathomable.😢
@@richw1607 yeah, regardless of if it was corruption within the U.S. government that enabled the attack. It was still a terrorist attack. Not everyone in government is in on the corruption. It is the elite group of corporations that are controlling the world. Not just USA or Afghanistan .
My cousin is married to a guy who was in Tower 2 when the attack happened. He was on the 67th floor I think he said. And when he finally got out of the building there were jumpers hitting the ground. He still goes to see a therapist because of the things that happened that day. My cousin told me he has horrific nightmares occasionally and that he once told her that as he exited the building a jumper impacted the ground about 75-80 ft from him and he was blasted with blood splatter and parts of the body. And he said he can't ever get the sound of the impact and the view of it out of his head. She said she hears him crying in the shower pretty often. He's such a great guy too. It's unimaginable what it must be like for him.
Update... Sadly Matt took his own life on Dec. 27th 2022 . He left no note other than ...
" I love you and I am sorry "
On a dry erase board on the refrigerator of the home he shared with his wife ( my cousin ) and their pets. He had recently been diagnosed with Small Cell lung cancer after a few weeks of having what he thought may have been a chest cold or Bronchitis. The Cancer was already quite advanced and he was told he had a short time left and that Chemotherapy and other treatments would probably do little for him and would likely make what time he had left more miserable and shorter..
He was 56 years old

I would never recover from seeing that. People just don't realize the most valuable asset this world has is PEOPLE. Every human being is like diamond. Doesnt matter how GOD created you.
The people who jumped are the single most disturbing thing to me on that day. Imagine going to work like any other day, and not even an hour later you are jumping from one of the buildings. I can’t even comprehend the thoughts racing thru those peoples minds before they jumped. Terrifying
Not even hrs. Early morning. Few minutes after 9am.
They didn’t want to burn alive. They chose the least painful death. Just heartbreaking to know this.
Yup....the people who decided to jump has always been the saddest part abt the whole thing.💔 I'm not sure I coulda been so brave. 🙏
The only reason you're jumping is due to pain from the heat and smoke, shattered glass. So a quicker death was the only better alternative.

Remember the lady on the street that kept shouting, "that is not a passenger airplane!"? It was refueling jets with no windows, and a missile lodge underneath,released a moment before impact. Watch the live news clip carefully, and pause it, or slow it down, if you can.

@@DREADEYE_KNIGHT but I think I would have done that, too, so maybe that's why it impacted me so much.
"They basically evaporated." I'm trying to imagine, not imagine and unimagine that at the same time.
You ever seen a Galiger show? You know the guy with the giant mallet and the watermelons, well imagine that but its a lot of watermelons at once being dropped from hundreds of feet up and the impact is pretty similar or for some reason for some people spaghetti reminds them of intestines or something i dont really get that one
@@TheRealRusDaddy no its not similar to that.. A human body's max velocity is about 130mph (less if you fall on your stomach with your hands out skydiving style, more if you are higher in elevation - like in the upper atmosphere) anyways, after that you wont fall any faster no matter how much farther you fall from. All objects have a max terminal velocity.
A body hitting the concrete at that speed wouldn't vaporize it, it wouldn't be like a watermelon being smashed. If you still dont believe me you can find photos and videos on gore sites of people who have jumped from sky scrapers. A guy not long ago jumped from the empire state building from a window near the top.
I seen a man fall off a building at around 90 feet. He didn't evaporate but it crushed every bone in his body to where he was jello like making it horrible as hell for the ones who had to remove him from scene! That was at only 85 to 90ish feet. These folks jumped at over 100s so yea it would've been a very terrible scene.

On that day they showed on TV a lot of stuff that was never aired again (and with good reason). I saw a woman jumping. While falling, her skirt was being lifted and she instinctively held it down with a hand. Seeing such a normal gesture in such an extreme situation was a punch to the gut for me. I cannot even explain it. She felt so... Human. I can't imagine what must have passed through her head at that moment.
Yeah I’m familiar with that woman. So horrible.
Then I’m thinking: Did she do it out of decency or did she do it so she could see the ground coming to try to brace for the impact?
Not that it would help. 😢
The other one I have an issue with that is burnt in my head was the guy who tried to tie off while he hung outside the building. The knot wasn’t tight and he just dropped.
It gives me a horrible feeling in my chest.
These people are the ones who matter. These people are the reason why we don’t accept all the cover-ups by our government.
The absolute horrors that occurred that day should never be allowed.
We should never allow another normal day until all these people are brought to justice.
That lady dropped her 2 kids off at kindergarten, and less than 45 min later she had to make that decision to either jump to her death or wait until the 2500° fire engulf her. And she didn't want anyone to see her underwear as she fell... I can not even begin to imagine what she felt in those moments.
Yea a bunch of stuff was never showed again from 9 11 and one thing is were the newsstation showed the cgi plane going all the way threw the tower,,also all 3 buildings were wired!!!!

I also had a friend that jumped to his death by accident. It was a 70ft jump off a cliff into a quarry. You had to run to jump out about 10ft to clear the rocks below.
He was younger than us. I had a gf that was a few years younger than me and this kid was friends with her. He was the kindest most friendly lil short guy I probably knew in high school.
Anyways, we were jumping in groups of 3-4. We jumped, got out and were walking away. You could hear the people screaming and laughing as they jumped after us and hit the water. Well I want to say 2-3 groups after we got done were jumping and I heard a girl scream and another say omg he jumped head first. I didn’t see it, but heard it. The first two splashes sounded normal, but the third one was different. I turned around and everyone was running towards them.
We’d jumped in, but he was gone right away.
He ran to jump and tried to stop at the edge, but couldn’t. He went straight down and hit the flat rocks that were about a foot or two deep into the water.
To make things worse, the next summer his sister who was a year younger got into a car accident and got killed.
I felt so bad for those parents. Their lives must be torturous.

First firefighter killed on 9/11 was Danny Suhr from Engine 216 in Brooklyn. A jumper landed on him. I had the same thought. Was on the Brooklyn heights prominade watching it in person. At first we couldn’t tell what was falling. Then we realized it was people. I think from our vantage point we watched a few dozen people jump. It still haunts me 21 years later.
I’m so sorry for that
This is the time I'm hearing about thus, wow, it's traumatizing
heartbreaking
Danny was a friend of mine...I'm FDNY.....he was a good man
I bet that was the last thing in the world the person who landed on him wanted. 😢 so sad.
We were watching it live on tv. I was in first grade. All of a sudden my teacher burst in tears. Later we found out her dad was in top floors of the tower. He didn't make it. As a class we planted a tree for him by the field. Now it's ginormous. I hope the tree stays there for many more years. This was in Brentwood, CA. LA
I remember seeing it too in school in 6 grade
🌹❤️
The guy who owned the building and all his family made it out okay.....because they called in sick that day.
What happend
@@YungQueef actually 9/11 happened on Mars.
The thing I admire most about these videos is the fact that you're giving these men a place to talk about the things that they seem to be holding on to for so long.
I couldn’t agree more. It’s amazing how many people judge men for speaking on their experiences, but empower women to “share their story” as if it is empowerment
all lies
Best comment...I couldn't agree more my friend..
I agree especially that seal that had been spied on hos whole childhood
The show is so amazing because 1, it allows these men and women a safe place to get their nightmares out and 2, it allows the curtain to be pulled back on the reality of what is sacrificed and willingly surrendered to keep the WORLD as safe as possible. You're an amazing person Shawn. Never change! God bless you
I remember watching it on TV. You could see people jumping. I was sick to my stomach. Crying, crying, having trouble believing what i was seeing. So horrific.
Watching they call her “the lady in the dress” she jumped and her last bit of dignity in life she as holding her dress down as she was falling to her death. That picture will never leave my mind
😢
😮😭🤢🥵😫GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES WHO LOST LOVED ONES 🙏❤
😢
Holding her dress down. You’re kidding me? For real? Wow. That’s heavy.
It should never leave any Americans mind. Never forget. 9/11. God Bless America 🇺🇸
Nothing in my life was as heartbreaking as watching so many people jump that day. Those images will never go away.
Then why did you continue to watch? W my then gf at a demolition derby a car explode an she turned away put her head on my shoulder. I watched because Like most everyone else I wanted to watch!
The guy had jumped out the car so fast an was laying between his car an another. Never saw him until car was out an medics walked with him to the ambulance. People love to watch death is very interesting mysterious to everyone. We all know we will one day die.
@@Will-dn9dq you're weird asf bro

I saw firefighters inside the foyer pre collapse and they were bewildered at the loud bangs that were happening sporadically only to realise they were the sound of people hitting the canopy. Truly horrifying for those men, I wonder if they, any of them, made it through that day. No words, just no words, I don't have the vocabulary for that. RIP All the victims of that/those days.
That's my most vivid memory of that morning, too. I think those firefighters were assembled in the foyer and preparing to ascend the steps of that building...
@@matthewlamp3088 yeah, that's my memory too- the fire chief was briefing them as to who and what etc, I seen a documentary later which revealed, sadly, that the bulk of those brave men were to lose their lives that day. Sorry to say it but that's what happened. Bad day for everyone involved and for those men and women who paid the price when the war on terror began. They didn't kill a couple of thousand that day, the tally must run to high five figures if not six! The dirty scumbag cowards.

Imagine the flames about to consume you and making the choice to jump 😥 it still bothers me more than any other image from that day and I wasn't there, I pray for those that witnessed it and for the family's of the fallen we will never forget none of those souls 🇺🇸
I was a senior in high school and was home that day. I’m mom came home screaming, I thought we were having another D Day. I got outta bed and went to the living room and started watching with her. We watched live the second plane go into the second building. I mentioned that stuff was falling and she looked at me and said that’s ppl that are jumping because they can’t get out. As a freshly turned 18 year old the world stood still that day, and as a 39 yr old woman now, I still can not believe it!
Most of them didn't jump. They were at the windows trying to get air as the flames approached but the metal heated up so much they could't hold onto the window frames .
@@everywherenowhere6901 now how could you possible know that? I know they didn't tell you,but believe me if I was about to be burned alive I'd jump in a heartbeat, God had them in the palm of his hands before they ever reached the ground but still the saddest shit I ever witnessed for sure..
The photo of the man falling in midair headfirst really affected me for ages knowing he took the option of going the way he did. My heart is so full of sorrow and heartbreak for whoever he was and for his family. Rest in peace to all who perished on that fateful day, you're not forgotten. God bless you all
I actually heard his story. He worked in a restaurant up top, is seen in uniform of black pants with white shirt, and was identified by his wife.
Such a sad yet beautiful picture
He didn't commit suicide. He did what he could to survive for the longest
What people need to understand is that those poor people were actually burning alive in there in such extreme temperatures plus the smoke inhalation which would have been beyond bearable for even just a second. They knew they were going to die as nothing could be done to rescue them so jumping out into the open air would relieve some physical discomfort and in the hope they would be unconscious before they reached the ground.
I myself am carrying the same after all these years of that man just like you. It's embedded in my brain and it makes me cry carrying that image since that day😢
Watching this live on tv as a 12 year old kid, the image of a man free falling to his death is still ingrained in my head. Can’t imagine what it must have been like to be on scene
Yeah it was awful wasn't it. I was 15 and yeah it was an awful thing to see, i still think about it when the day rolls around.
The news channel I watched it on didn't pull up in time to not show the impact. That was rough to see sitting in class.
I was 10 and this memory is still haunts me. I will never forget 9/11
We the same age then. I also watched it live in class. People jumping to their death. But Jan 6 was much worse according to Democrats.
Ya I remember that too. I know exactly what you’re talking about.
I remember that sound of the bodies hitting the ground live on the news as it was happening. That sound will live with me as long as I live. I can still hear it when I think about it. It was absolutely soul crushing.
Watching two people holding hands as they jumped is burned into my memory.
I watched from the comfort of my home.
I can't imagine the trauma the survivors of that event are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you all 🙏💗🙏❤️
Just imagine the conversation they had before they jumped. And no one will ever know what they said to each other. So sad.
They are the two that traumatized me when I seen it that day I was pregnant with my daughter and was called and awakened by family, as soon as I turned the channel, I was forevermore changed.. RIPARADISE
Yesssss this shit hits e in the gut when I think of 9/11
Damn 😣
Why did you putt a high five emojie at the end
How incredibly sad and what a tragic day! My mother worked in Tower 2 and left for a doctors appointment 45 minutes before the first airplane strike. I'm in California and my wife wakes me up and says "Babe, you need to come and watch this". Of course all the phones were jammed and I spent the next 18 hours watching this unfold and desperately trying to reach any family members in NY! I finally reached her and at 41 years old, I could not stop crying!! All of us were a mess and so sorry for the victims of 911 and at the same time, so grateful that mom was safe! What a nightmare!
Very difficult time here in NYC.
People seem to have forgotten, 9/11 showed that cell phones can't handle emergencies. I was on the west coast at that time too
God bless you and your Mom, and I'm so glad you didn't lose her on that day. I was in the hospital with my mother watching it on TV. She was gone a few months later.
I live in Phoenix and at the time my girlfriend called me, woke me up and told me to turn the TV on. Shortly after that, I could not make a call on my cell phone. I was in Phoenix and the line jammed we need to be prepared for emergencies even if the power went out for a week people would go crazy imagine not being able to get water out of your faucet because the water pumps don’t work, something is simple as that could really break down society one week of no power it would be ugly.
Don't be sorry!

I look at the lies,

God Bless you all.
Everytime I just hurt for the first responders, the trauma these men endured. You can hear the emotionless in his voice, he’s played this through his head a million times. I’m so sorry.
The worst part is after experiencing all this trauma the city of NY abandoned them, didn’t pay for the cancer treatments that an insanely high percentage needed from exposure to the toxic smoke, and didn’t pay for the therapy they all needed so much. Finally after like 20 years of delays and legal stalling the city finally paid a settlement to the fund much much too late for many first responders.

The picture of the man falling head first might be the most heartbreaking images I have seen. I was supposed to go help with aftermath and search for the lost but I was in paramedic class and my spot was given to someone else from my dept. At the time I was upset but know I know I could not have handled it.
There is a book called..where did the building go that's full of facts..and pictures of people jumping
I do remember several but one guy, head first, he was watching the ground, all the way down. It stunned me. Deeply
The saddest part is to know that humans can do that to each other for whatever reasons they may think it is fit
That was the believers of Islam. No one else of any other religion believes it is religious to murder people of different religions.

I can remember that day like it was yesterday. As a Canadian my heart broke for my American brothers and sisters. I knew in that moment everything would change and that a lot of people were going to die. Here we are so many years later and have things improved? I’m not the one to answer but I am grateful to be on the same side as the US.
Thank you 🙏 for that.. I too remember like it was yesterday.. on my way to a mangers meeting and I had two rookies with me cruisin up Highway 65 about an hour away from where we lived & when I got to the store where we held our meetings there were only 2 workers inside and we all said hi to one another I ran upstairs real quick to the training room & no one then across the way to the room where our meetings take place & no one .. go back down stairs and ask the 2 that we’re there what gives & they say everyone’s in the big break room .. as I walk in with 2 rookies in tow they all turn to see who walked in and every single one of them had tears in their eyes.. A moment later the second tower was hit!.. just couldn’t believe what I was watching as it unfolded .. but once again thank you my Canadian brother ✊🙏 stay safe.. blessings to u
Thank you❤
We haven't had another major attack like that from foreign terrorists so its improved in that way. But it almost hurts more when the attacks come from your own and you're scared to send your kids to school or go shopping or go to theaters. So I'm not sure how to answer that. But thank you for your kind words 🖤 we'd certainly always stand with Canada as well!
Thank you to you and all my fellow Canadian comrades 🙏🏾😔 ❤️
Many people have certainly died as a result. I’d be surprised if the number isn’t at a million at this point when you think about civilians around the world
God bless you and all who answered the call that day
This comment section is so filled with pain and sorrow, it breaks my heart to see.
On the other hand, the lack of anger, hate and calls for vengance, (which would have been more than natural) moves me profoundly, and instills hope and even pride on behalf of humanity. Thank you all!
Well the Bush Administration Perpetrated the crime! Everyone should be pissed!
Vengeance is normal as well because they were dancing, celebrating, congratulating and feeling proud of their horrendous accomplishment like October 7th.
I was young (13) at the time, but I remember that we wanted blood, as a country. We went and got it… and paid for it. Now we’re fighting ourselves,
There were calls for vengeance at the time of 9/11. There was flag waving, grief, pain and anger. There was shock and a coming together as country. The people of the US were far more united anyway before 9/11 even happened. After 2008, the country has been being intentionally torn apart. After 2012, in earnest.
Oh, don't be mistaken, it's there, we are just civil. Justice will come by Christ.
Even now it’s extremely disturbing to think about. It makes my soul hurt. I can’t imagine the trauma that it induced on this guy to watch it rain human people. It’s absolutely sickening. May god help the people who are still afflicted to this day and forever going forward.
Amen bro!!

I was 27 when this happened. I went to work and remember seeing all the planes turning around going back to the airport. I was working directly under i-40 ramp to downtown Memphis under the "new bridge" Then seeing 100's of undercover cars rushing downtown. After seeing that I called my wife, cell phones were out but not like now, and as soon as she told me the wtc's were down I was saying no baby that's impossible, all phone calls were cut off. Then later I saw on TV what happened while I was at work. I'll never forget so much from that day, one of the biggest is seeing the people jump. The helplessness you feel. Then to hear this first responder explaining what happens brought it all back in a instant.
The entire world has not been the same since 9-11-01.
As hard as it is to imagine willingly jumping from such a height, you have to realize they weren't jumping because of the threat or possibility of burning to death, they were literally in an oven beginning to roast. Every breath was burning their throats and searing their lungs.
Wow. I never thought of anything like that. Horrific.

Bro having the strength to jump off a building knowing the outcome is insane dawg…i cant imagine what they went thru
Its definitely insane. I cant fathom it.
They were suffocating so their bodies did what they had to do to get away from the smoke. It probably wasn't a conscious decision.
I Imagine it was burn / be crushed to death or jump, horrifying
Imagine how hot it was, that's jet fuel melting a building. God bless those poor souls.
The heat drives you. It's unimaginable
I've been in ,near homes etc on fire and that heat is amazing
But, the heat they felt from Jet fuel would be incalculable.
Most of us would jump without much hesitation

Still oblivious to what was going on and then the seconds tower gets hit ...that was jus intense but when I got home from school the news was jus showing ppl leaping from building the crazy thing is the camera would like follow the ppl almost all the way down then it shows more jumpers from a wider angle shit was unreal. My ❤️ Goes out to the Families who lost loved ones that day.
That’s the stuff that nightmares are made of. So absolutely heartbreaking. The desperation. Damn.

That was a horrible day. I remember working in a hospital in lower Manhattan and it going into disaster mode. We set up triage rooms and staff waiting in the parking lot for casualties. After the towers fell only seeing people walking north covered in dust and ashes. Walking home afterwards and looking back at the smoke and hearing this eerie quiet in the city, people crying in the street. I had to keep reminding myself this was real. Every New Yorker alive that day still has that trauma just below the toughness. Just ask and you'll see us look off and try to explain what we saw, and then the tears usually start to fall.
I'm so sorry. But you helped so many people that day when they needed you the most. So thank you for that.
Hey Farisa, I was a 3rd grader in California when it happened but my memory of seeing it on the news before school is so vivid. Feel so much more you as a New Yorker and fellow American. I'm with you.
I have an older friend who has lived in Manhattan his entire life. He's as peaceful a hippie as I've ever met (and still that ultra cynical NYC type I love so much), but in those rare occasions when 9-11 has come up over the years, his entire demeanor changes. He goes quiet, and you can see his eyes almost burning with the memories of that day. By far his most vivid memory of the event (that he'll talk about, at least; we certainly don't push him for stories) is how the stench of rotting human meat just blanketed the city for weeks. He said it was so thick sometimes that you could almost taste it.
I'm sure he saw plenty from where he lived at the time, but I don't poke around other people's traumas for fun. And after the first time he mentioned that dense smell of death, I was usually the first person to try to change the subject. He doesn't need that kind of memory popping up and becoming a conversation when all we're trying to do is go camping. Thankfully, 9-11 isn't a regular topic of conversation in our group of friends, and everyone cares about him enough to let him be.
That's so Dramatic and dumb. All of u are privileged and entitled. Your not living in the Hallmark channel do save your misty eyed looking off in the distance for pity story and shut up u have no clue what personal trauma is not one single iota so count yourself lucky. I'm embarrassed for u right now
The towers did not just fall. That was controlled demolition according to experts. 9/11 was (used as) a false flag attack to start the war on terror. WTC 7, third tower, no aircraft crash, also controlled demolition.
I remember, I was living in London at the time and we had all been sent home from work as the UK thought they may be targeted next. I sat in a pub with countless others, in stunned silence, watching the TV and seeing the people falling from the towers. The images in my mind from that day I’ll never forget.
I recently visited the memorial and the vibe there is completely different from anything I ever felt, i still get chills from that experience
Been there also. However, imagine visiting ground zero, with all the debris still lying there, and it was just fenced off. They were cleaning and searching that rubble for YEARS.
I'm 26, born in 1996. Visited ground zero around 2002, and was obviously only 5/6 year old child. I didn't truly know the extent of what lay before my eyes, but I will NEVER forget the pit in my stomach and the feeling that hit me that day. O almost burst into tears,and I didn't even have a CLUE that it was something sad/bad. There is an energy that remains at that site. It's quite different now, but still there. Not as sad.
It was honestly like the deceased innocent souls were crying out for help back in that time around 2002. And you could feel every last one of them. Insane truly.

The image that burns in your mind when you hear this is overwhelming😢
I'll never forget that day. I was at ground zero. I wasn't even completely aware of what was going on. I knew a terrible accident had happened at the towers but not that it was a plane or a terrorist attack for that matter. I started hearing what I thought were gunshots. I'm naturally a little more curious than I should be and I decided to make my way towards the gunfire to see what was going on. As I rounded the block facing tower 1 that's when I realized that I wasn't hearing gunshots at all. The sound I was hearing was the people jumping from the building hitting the ground. The absolutely destroyed bodies. The sounds of their demise. The smell of flesh and blood. It all lives with me every day and it's undescribable in its total scale. You really had to be there to understand fully just how terrible that day was. It changed everything about my life. Everything.

It changed everyones life
I'm sorry man that's rough. The perpetrators will never be outed, or prosecuted. If the west coast gets nuked, you can be sure the same heartless thugs either did it, caused it, or just let it happen. Evil sons of bitches. Those people are less than a mosquito buzzing in their ear at bedtime. They have a reason to swat the mosquitoe. I guess they had a reason to pull that building with everyone inside too. Money, control, bloodlust? But unlike the mosquito, they never bothered them, or suck their blood. In fact, they are the blood suckers. The enslavers, and the executioners. Sorry, not trying to politicize your experience, republicans are no more, or less evil than democrats. They are exactly the same. A rigged game to keep us at odds. Just like the NFL, or any pro sports. I just can't believe there are still people who think a few pakis who could fly a Cessna we're able to take over a commercial airliner, and steer it into a slim tower in the sky. Upon impact that aluminum skin busted right through those steel I Beams and evaporate. The diesal fuel getting so damn hot it melted more steel! Then, another paki hit the other one just the same. Both on the first try. I wonder why a news team was filming the building that day anyhow? Like who gets that boring ass job? Okay Bobby, it's your turn to go film the towers in case any planes hit those twins. Oh! I was wondering when I got to do that again boss! I thought you were mad at me! It's been so long since I've been able to spend 12 hrs filming a fucking building! And what a day he had. Both the towers felled by an aluminum airplane, and then 3rd building too! Building number 7 felled straight down as if it were pulled. Out of sympathy or some bullshit. I think it was empty though.

I was a kid in 6th grade in NY as my teacher came back to the class balling tears about the attack and our parents were coming to get us... My mother came and got me and she was crying..and I didn't understand but felt the pain of every single conscious adult in my immediate environment.. I also remember 10 years later to that exact moment I was looking at a picture of Osama bin ladens face on a newspaper cover that said "we got him"... However for me... I was waking up still in full gear from the patrol earlier as I was heading out to fight a second time that day and blood was indeed shed... Sadly as I gained a grasp of what happened shortly after 9/11 I had always felt lied to ... That there was something sinister behind it all and that looking at the faces of bush and Cheney and rumsfeld even though I was a child I knew... We were being deceived somehow and I stand by that still... But seeing the Taliban's deep hatred for us and their abuse of women and children in front of my very own eyes... Was justification for all my deeds and I sleep well at night because of that... I am however deeply hurt by the unshakeable feeling of our nation being hurt and lied to by dangerous and greedy men. Someday.. the light will shine. To all the innocent who have died in 9/11 and all the actions thereafter may you rest in peace in this life and prosper in the next. For those who stepped forward with evil intentions that day and every correlating event thereafter... I'll see you boys in hell and we can continue to settle our issues through unfathomable violence but until then may you suffer here until that very moment. Rant over. Remember the lives! Remember the lies!
100% man. It never made sense to me. Military runs deep in my family. Literally all the way to the Civil War. I don’t blame any soldiers. You don’t get to choose where you serve or your mission. But a day before 9/11 Rumsfeld is saying 2.3 Trillion is missing. Then there’s no verifiable video of the attack on the Pentagon. Tower 7 falls just from an overspray of “jet fuel” which is actually just diesel. Diesel doesn’t even burn that hot. But no one, well, almost no one asks WHY a group of Muslim people would orchestrate such an elaborate scheme to attack the most powerful nation in the world? Obviously it was hatred. But WHY did they hate us so much? And it all goes back to the US playing geopolitics just like McNamara did in Vietnam. We simply can’t keep our nose out of other county’s business. And this time, we went too far. And we paid the price. And subsequently, so did thousands of innocent Afghans. I 100% lay 9/11 at the feet of Clinton/Bush and their administrations. Lost several friends over there. Rant all you want. It’s deserved. We WERE lied to.
Amen
Extremely well said, and thank you so very much for all you did while you were over there. You’re right, it shouldn’t bother you, you handed out justice to those deplorable, wretched, radically evil people!
Our own people were also responsible. There’s no way around it. Of course I don’t consider them my people, they were traitors hiding $3 trillion in lost defense department funds.
greedy men, I agree with everything you said except for the men comment Not all men are greedy you could have just said greedy people
I have been to the site before it was cleaned. I just lost myself. No words could describe that moment. I hope all that were there that day, survivors and those who lost their lives find peace.
The people jumping is what I remember the most..I remember a black lady and a white man both crying and praying then they held hands and jumped..that image comes back to me over and over through the yrs..I cried so much for them and for all of it, I was laying down crying for days that i got ear infections in both ears from the tears going into my ears.
I remember that to my friend 😢 it breaks my heart so much to see and remember them 2 jumping 🙏 I want to cry now it's so sad!!!
Awww :(
Touching
Condolences to you
I didn't know anyone that was affected that awful day. I still feel like I lost family that day and then after years later I did loss family and that was everyone that went through this because everyone is my American family.i love you all in Jesus name amen
Along with the jumpers, the thing that was the toughest was listening to the phone calls. Tears of anger roll down my face every time I hear them.
tears of anger? no such thing but im sure you were sad and also angry
@@raidermaxx2324What is wrong with you?
@@ihs200 whaddya mean? when is the last time you were so angry that your cried?
@@raidermaxx2324That's a very normal thing. A quick Google search would sort you out. Just because you can't comprehend it, doesn't mean it isn't real.
The Kevin Cosgrove call. Video with the call synced to a video of the collapse. Drops my stomach every time.
The stories of ppl jumping, break my heart. God Bless all these ppl.😢
I was in 9th grade, during freshman elections our principal told us at assembly and sent us back to class. We watched the second plane hit live in the classroom then we were sent home. Watched the news for 2-3 days straight. Then seeing the “falling man” newspaper cover made me realize just how many had jumped. Insane. Horrible
Nearly the same, only I was in 8th grade. I will never forgot the sheer terror in my teacher's voice as we watched it live on TV in the classroom. Then, like you said, a few days later we see the image of the man diving head first off of one of the buildings, and I just remember feeling so sad about that. He knew he was going to die and just decided to accept his fate. It still causes my stomach to clench when I think about it...
I was in the 9th grade as well. It was 2nd period; I was in my business tech class, and we saw it live on TV. I'm 35 now. I still remember it like it was yesterday.
The amount of humanity in the following days that I witnessed in Cleveland and I'm sure around the nation was something I had never seen. It wasn't races, it wasn't nationalalities, it was complete strangers , people asking if they knew anyone there. Everyone was somber but very courteous to one another, an elderly woman asked if she could give me hug. There was just so many acts of kindness like I had never seen before or since. It's incredible what such a terrible act of devastation can bring out the deepest compassion towards one another in the most sincerest form. God bless all effected by 9/11
It was a trial run done by our own government too. Makes it that much worse
@@justintime753 I believe that but people that don't look at the events months to a week leading up to that tend not accept it. So many things if they would research it. I spent 2 years looking at American Airlines stock, Joe Biden's plan for Homeland security proposed in 95 but shot down bc y was determined a castraphy to happen for it to be created. But I will just say it was terrorist either way.
Couldn’t be further from that place today. Different country of people
I remember watching people jumping holding hands.
Omg!!! I'm sorry u saw that!!!!
That's deep
Yeah I remember that too.
Ngl, if I had to jump, I'd absolutely want to hold hands with my co workers. As soon as I read that comment, it have me a sliver of peace for those people that they weren't alone.😢
Disgusting that some high up people who were responsible aren't even being blamed and walk free today! Unacceptable
They will be!
Yes, in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, the Taliban in Afghanistan!
@@Pearl-st.53 yeah and much much closer too. The worst ever attack on American Soil and it was all cleaned up and all the metal sent to china to be melted down and reused. Why not the American Steel foundries, there are plenty. It was gone in 30 days!!!It should have been investigated better as we heard nothing really after that. Talk about disposal of evidence. Some of the supposed attackers were still alive. The plane where the people fought and it crash landed in Penn or where ever there was no debris just a burned area with finger sized metal pieces. The general who checked it out said that was the remains of a missle not any plane and no body parts whats so ever were found. Impossible. Too much to be not be staged. The evidence goes on forever. The investigation should have gone on a long long time. These people are the smartest of us they know how predictable and gulliable we are, and dumb. We were so upset we couldnt see right. Most of everyone Ive ever met and talked to about it knows the truth. But there are some who just stick their heads in the sand and never look at the facts and believe whatever they are told to believe then defend it like its their home.
That is the one thing I will NEVER FORGET. … ever.
I remember having to go to school and it was so strange as some kids didnt go. I live under a flight path in California and it was so quiet even the freeway was empty.
By far the better way to go, I wouldn’t let myself burn either.
That day is burned into my memory watching w my dad at home. I was 15
It really is about options. It's interesting to see all the different reactions that people have from remembering that event, I was 20, and that's what I remember too. No fire trauma from youth or anything, but first thought that followed from the emotional response was yep, so much better way. Horrific but the other option...no without thinking no, not an option
@@jaxsdad3x amazing how the memory can be so vivid, yet I have a hard time remembering if I ate breakfast sometimes .
Have a good night man
This was the thing about 911 that haunted my dreams. It was that people were so scared, desperate and panicked that they jumped. The heat and smoke must have been excruciating. The pain. The hopelessness. I cried that day. Went to my room and cried. Didn't let my dad see. Didn't want him to think I was soft. It bothered me. To this day. We felt it. Even here in Montreal.
A testament to just how evil can be. I still recall vividly this taking place. It changed my psychology about the nature of man.
Its horrifying to imagine the thoughts they had at that moment, like this is the easier option than what was waiting. God bless them
Sure wish god had blessed them prior to them splitting on the ground. Guess god was busy that day
@@thewoolycontacts yup, yet "god" happens to be there when you are looking for your car keys
There was no God that day
They were jumping because of the heat.
A few seconds of relief from the heat and smoke
I remember that day like it was yesterday. That day is forever imprinted in my brain.
I was 3 and I remember it because I came downstairs and saw my parents and grandma watching the morning knews with looks of horror like I'd never seen before. I was coming down to ask for breakfast, but when I saw them I knew something had happened and I just sat at the table with a book. They came out a bit later and tried to act normal but they were very tense. I asked if something had happened and my grandma said "yes. Something very, very bad". She told me years later that her first thought once the shock had faded was "We are going to war again", and it caused her great sorrow
Same
21 years later and I still have tears left to shed …..
Why not blame your government for the false flag
I think most of us do. I quite often recall all the heroics we saw. My most loved recollection was a TV clip. It showed a young man on an overpass...I believe he was in Wyoming...not sure why I think that is where he was....waving the biggest American flag. That remembrance makes me cry every time. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 God bless America.
@Troy Coleman
Same...this younger generation needs a dose of true Patriotism and what it means like we experienced that day. I'm not saying something like that should happen, but I am saying it will take something rather jolting for them to ever respect America. I truly thought in the first day or so that C09vid was going to do that. We would rally together like Americans always do and beat this thing TOGETHER. It wasn't 48 hours Nancy Pelosi started with her hateful political rhetoric and once it was politicized...well we all know the rest.
Me too, still hurts like yesterday 😣
@@wendyc1902You’re 100% correct. This generation is going to have to experience something jolting/reality shaking to truly get it. Sad, because I felt such pride in being American - we were all brothers & sisters after 9/11. It just didn’t last….
Shawn Shawn Shawn…. Thank you! Thank you for giving these hero’s and wonderful men a place to come in sit down and actually be heard. And let them feel understood and appreciate for the hellish work they’ve been through.
Thank you
And thank you sir for saving people on that fateful day I hope you find peace from that because I know the sound stays forever
At 18 a senior in highschool, seeing this on the news , im not ashamed to say i cried my eyes out.
It was the day I realized something about myself... I operate only on cognitive empathy... I felt nothing over what happened, tho I can agree it was horrible.
You have nothing to be ashamed about I was 38 when it happened and I was scared to death that whole day! I remember going to sleep that night both of my kids slept in my bed, I was in the middle and we all held hands as we feel asleep saying our prayers.
Never Forget. Thank you Shawn for doing your podcast. We love ya 👊🏼💙🇺🇲
This was and still is such a sad and horrible time from our history as a nation. I am a vet. If I were physically able I would still be in uniform and standing by my fellow brothers and sisters. My heart breaks when I think of this day. I stand and salute our brave men and women who serve, our first responders who take the help to the streets every day. You are all heroes and deserve more credit than you receive. Peace be with you all and than you for all you do
9/11 was a inside job you should know that
What would blowing up some goat herders who know nothing about 9/11 do? What about the real murderers of 9/11 that are in our government and Israel?
I know someone who was in one of the buildings in a lower floor, and was told to run to the bridge and when she ran out, right in front of her a body fell on the ground. This was so sickening and sad and knowing what I know today, may God Bless each of these people who were killed. May they RIP, and may the evil pay for their crime.
I saw a video of firefighters inside one of the towers , and I remembered hearing these thuds every couple seconds . Later I found out it was the sounds of bodies hitting the ground , I’ll never forget that sound as long as I live
I saw that too
Me too. I remember watching that video and thinking, what is that crashing sound. And then someone in the video said something about people jumping. The sound never leave you. 😢
French brothers documentary
I saw/ heard that video as well. It was awful
Same;((
I remember watching people falling and my brain could not register or comprehend what I was seeing. Watching footage of so many brave 1st responders response when they realized what the massive “thuds” were was heart shattering. So much was lost that day with thousands of tragedies but for me, that one sat the heaviest on my heart and still does till this very day. Heartbreaking. ❤
So damn sad and upsetting…how can you ever get past that, and should you? We should never forget or relax about it.
But we have, we absolutely have...and it angers me
I agree 💯
How do you hold your own government responsible? Especially when the administration changes so often. They needed an excuse to go to war and so we made one big enough to rally the entire country. In kind thousands and thousands of innocent men women and children were killed in the Middle East. Two wrongs don’t make a right? Crazy ass world we live in.
@@jakeman025 I get pretty pessimistic about it. Feels like the wheels came off the wagon a long time ago. This mentality of never let a disaster go to waste is sick. Politics is winning at any cost and we need better than that. There is no honor, no line that can’t be crossed. Personally, I don’t want to spend what’s left of my life trying to fix it, but that’s most people I think and now the problem is so big, I expect it to only get worse until there is a complete break down and bold tyranny is here to stay. These two private clubs of Republican and Democrat need to be cleaned out. We need a massive reset. Our identity as a country and what it means to be an American have been purposely muddied. There wouldn’t be huge changes from one administration to the next if people held strong moral values and held themselves accountable. There would be arguments but the arguments would be about what is the best way to accomplish the agreed common goal. We don’t agree on what is right anymore. Because for decades politicians have worked to divide us. They don’t engage us in debate about the details of government, they just point the finger, make accusations, and promise handouts, and we just let them. They pass 1200 page bills initiated by some intense concern and buy the votes needed by including crap for special interests that have nothing to do with the reason the bill was brought in the first place. So how do we hold our government accountable, at this point, I’m not sure we can. That scares me a lot.
@@scottjohnson9032 sometimes I wish the neanderthals would’ve killed all Homo sapiens back in the day. Yeah we might be a little shorter and a little wider but perhaps we would have a different chemical makeup that makes us do horrible things to others of our own species. I can’t even stand when a wild animal gets hurt let alone causing mass genocides every century of human existence. Another part of this entire debacle is religion after every mass shooting I look at the comments all talking about relying and praying to god it amazes me that in 2022 we still have people that believe and think that if they are a good person than this magical god will take care of them and not let anything as happen.
I wish he would’ve talked about what it sounded like when they hit the pavement. I do remember ppl talking about different body parts being all over the courtyard. Gnarly!
It is so evil what happened that day 😢 may those involved face justice.
They never will in this life.
Muslims got them.
@@billydeewilliams9104G-D father of Yeshua will poor his justice out on them.
@@billydeewilliams9104United States Government, please don’t be fooled
@@Najiyyah This is true. Oklahoma City, TWA Flight 800. A woman whom married into my family, her dad worked for the CIA. I don't know what he did there. A few months after flight 800 was her wedding to my relative. Her dad, was an oddball. Really weird. During the reception, I approached him and asked him if that flight was shot down with a missile by our government. He freaked out. His face, he looked like he was seeing a ghost, I kid you not. He turned and walked to the 2 far walls. He stood in that corner the remaining 2 hours of the reception. His wife brought him fruit punch and stayed by his side. He wigged out. I'll always remember his reaction. It was extreme and because of that he assisted me with answering my question.
I will never forget watching the news crying, and then a plane hit tower#2... I yelled NOOOOO so loud!!!! My heart was crushed...Tears still, until this day😞 I was 21yrs old, today I am 42, and as I said, I will never forget.
I watched it on tv in Switzerland I reacted the same way🙏
Ditto.
I was in 5th grade. I remember all the kids from school were getting picked up. One girl knew what happened though and I overheard her whispering to another girl
Boooo hooo waaa 😂😂😂😂no tears for the Jews huh?
@@HelloHaven98765 Yes, of course. I'm sure someone from every race was killed. Someone from every religion was killed. Someone from every sexual orientation was killed. Someone from several generations was killed. So YES, I shed tears for them ALL, Jews included, especially because I too am Jewish!!!!
I was one of the first search and rescue medical teams called in from NJ . For 14 city blocks body parts were everywhere . 20 years later I still am horrified at what I saw there .
Thank you for your service.
Ive just watched a video of someone jumping and the sound from the video stuck with me. I cant imagine.
So how does structural steel and concrete liquify allowing the tallest building to fall precisely into its own footprint?
😢
@1986subway that's a question George Bush could answer
You gotta do what you gotta do. Goin out on your own terms if you can, is hella responsible af. R.i.P to everyone we lost that day in that event. Much Love, Respect and Good Vibes from Seattle 💙💚🙏🏽✊🏾✌🏾
When his voice cracks, it was because in that moment he relived that nightmare.
Was looking for this comment
Or it’s just his… you know, fkn voice!
@@michaelh.5392 it’s a voice
Just watching it play out live and seeing videos of the jumpers has always stuck with me. I cannot begin to imagine what it's done to the people who were there and the families. 💔
Hearing the stories are such a gut punch, and make me want to cry. I can't even imagine having these images burned into your mind
I’ll never forget that Tuesday and I was off work and I got up to make coffee and I had the news on and I heard something about a plane flying into a building and I don’t think I peeled myself away from the TV for the next 24 hours. To this day, I still get choked up when I think about those people and the desperation they must’ve faced and knowing it was certain death to jump, but it was certain death to stay where they were I can’t even conceive of having to make that decision! They were the brave ones no doubt!
My cousin worked in that building. That day was crazy! Nationwide all of the phone lines went down as well. We had landlines at the time. It was pure chaos all travel was stopped as well. Lucky for her she went to a concert the night before and didn't go to work because she was hungover.
I only saw it in a documentary about that day, but I will never, ever forget that sound. The fear they must have felt to make that leap is unimaginable.
I only saw it on live tv as my teacher turned it off realizing it was people after 30 2nd graders just saw what she saw i was 8 years old and i know what i saw and this whole generation has ptsd from it … and for once in my life a school shooting wasnt the worst thing that could happen to me
My heart still breaks to this day for everyone.
I watched the attack from my office windows at the Brooklyn Bridge 3 blocks away. The people who were falling looked as if they were floating down. Watching people crawl out of the windows and try to hold onto or stand on the windows sills will be etched into my memory until the day I die.
I also recall in the months after the attacks, there were street vendors who were selling portraits of the people falling, standing in gaping holes inside the buildings. I couldn't believe they were allowed to have those portraits displayed and available for sale!
That is disgusting. Shame on those people
That should be illegal 😡
@Najiyyah Should've been but the people seemed to be stopping and buying these pictures and the police did nothing.
I saw them selling the pictures, I could not believe it; many people were walking around with flyers of their loved ones asking if we seen them; many look desperate 😢
One of our coworkers was at a meeting at windows on the world. I will never forget it. We knew he was there, we knew for sure he would never get out but we kept hoping against hope that a helicopter would save him and the rest of those people. A day I will never forget God bless all those people who went to work on a beautiful Tuesday morning and were forced to end their own lives. Tragic isn’t the word it’s just still unfathomable.😢
I don’t look at it as, them ending their own lives. Their lives were ended by the terrorist attack that day.
@@BukitManterrorists huh?
@@richw1607 yeah, regardless of if it was corruption within the U.S. government that enabled the attack. It was still a terrorist attack. Not everyone in government is in on the corruption. It is the elite group of corporations that are controlling the world. Not just USA or Afghanistan .
@@BukitMan yea. I know.
