      Absolutely worth remembering. Also I feel like it has been lost over the years but the response was not purely a local one first responders came from every single state to help and were at Ground Zero. It is also worth remembering (no matter how sobering the thought might be) is that the attacks are still claiming lives to this day people are dying from cancers and other illnesses they received down in the wreckage 20 years later when it is all said and done the loss of life from diseases and other health impacts will likely outnumber the causalities from the attack itself (if they don't already).

    20 years hasn’t erased one bit of what I felt that day. Stood there staring at the screen so long that I missed the bus to school. Watched it all in real time. There was an actual feeling of unity after that for a while, and it’s a shame how far we’ve grown apart. It takes a tragedy. It shouldn’t. If I see violence or injustice happening to someone, it doesn’t matter their politics/ideology.

      I'm with you Doobie, not one bit of how I felt that day has changed. Those images are burned in our minds, those emotions we felt have become a part of us.
      We lived in a Marine Corp base town at the time, maybe 5 miles from the base and all I could think about besides the poor families left devestated was are they going to target military towns next or what part of our country might be next, is it over, is there more to come, will we wake up tomorrow. The terror we all felt is indescribable.
      Be blessed Doobie.

      Most Americans are plenty happy with each other.. Unfortunately you don't see this represented in our media, politics, journalism, academia, etc.. It's easy to gain power by pitting people against each other, unfortunately there are certain groups and political figures who've found that identity politics is way easier than actually trying to fix issues that are consequencial. The average American just wants to live and be prosperous, and I believe they want the same for their fellow citizens..

    Man, seeing that girl cry during the moment of silence brought it right back, like it was yesterday. This was a big moment, a lot of people tuned in because this was The Yankees, a New York team. I remember it. I remember the NFL and their tributes around the country. Pat Tillman left a multimillion dollar to join the Army and become a Ranger. He sadly died in Afghanistan. Theres a nice statue of him infront of the stadium the Arizona Cardinals play in. That's a story worth looking into.

Place was wild man, the real wild west, mostly full of SF and various private contractors doing some undoubtedly nefarious shit..Was considered an honor to get posted to Tillman, as it was such a heavily targeted FOB and one of the more strategic and important in Afghanistan not to mention the insurgency knew it's background so naturally they wanted to take it offline..

I was still in denial and remember talking about how such an "accident" happened. We watched the second airplane hit. My first words were "guys, we're under attack."
    In the weeks that followed, aged Veterans of Vietnam and Korean wars came in "I know I'm too old to fight... what can I do?"

      I was on the west coast, and a few days earlier, I had just returned from dropping my daughter off for her freshman year of college in upstate New York. Her campus was in chaos, students and faculty lost family members, as well as alumnus. She was in hysterics, and I couldn't hold and protect her. She came home for Thanksgiving (requiring a connecting flight) - at the airport, people were patient with the lines, with people needing to jump the ques lest they miss their flights because of how long screening took to accomplish. People were much more willing to help others.

      Many Americans do love this country, but they are open to criticizing it when it especially when we sometimes seem to have lost our way, I'm a patriot to this nation but I acknowledge and accept our rise to power and our history wasn't bloodless and many people died who didn't need to, wrongs done by our fathers left a scar on our nation and it's people and it carried over.
      Be proud of your nation, but be willing to hold it accountable or have those uncomfortable conversations, unconditional obedience breeds problems and leads to the fall of nations - 99% of our fellow Americans mean well but because the tide of politics and other factors often turns is against ourselves.

    I was asleep and my daughter came in and said “a plane just hit a big building in NY”. I jumped up and got to the tv in time to see the 2nd plane hit. It was the first time my kids have told me about disasters vs me telling them. After a long hug my mind went to I wanted my family home. My husband being a first responder couldn’t come home. My youngest was at 6th grade camp. I called the school and they said the camp was on lockdown and no students would be released. They asked us to not discuss it with our kids until we were at home the end of the week. A very good thing because 12 kids at camp lost family in the towers.

My husband and I travelled to London from Canada a week or so after the attacks on 9/11. I'm American born, but I think our Canadian accents sound the same to Brits, and it was deeply touching to be treated with unfailing kindness throughout the trip. Several people spontaneously went out of their way to suggest places we hadn't seen in parts of the city new to us, and people often came over to help us locate ourselves on a map before we even asked. We'd been to London many times before (as well as since then), but that trip was pretty special, simply because Londoners made it so. 😊

    I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. I'm an American, living in NJ at that time, and had just graduated college few months prior. I was sleeping in that day and my mom had Gove to a local diner down the street for breakfast. Well she came barging in the house yelling my name, saying, "We're being bombed!" I spent the rest of that day watching everything unfold on the news and crying and praying! I felt the US was so United then unlike nowadays. I was so appreciative of all the kind messages sent by other countries leaders/citizens, as well as, the Queen of England. Never forget! Thank you for sharing this video! 🙏 💕

There is nothing like being part of 20,000 people singing the National Anthem. Words can not describe the feeling. I will never forget what that was like and the great strength this country has when they are pushed. How we CAN come together when we need to. I hope we never have another reason like that to sing but that we will sing together like that again, soon.

I watched, and recorded the news all that day. It's so imprinted on me. I had almost stayed in a hotel right near the towers, but for some reason we decided to sit for hours in the bus station instead.

    In my school whenever we sing the national anthem at the beginning of the school day we always stand for a little longer. Idk if other schools do this. My home room teacher says it’s to pay respect to the lives that were lost in 9/11 and to also pay respect to the people that fought for our country to be free and what we have today. 9/11 didn’t happen that long ago I was born in 2008 not that long ago when the attack happened. We may have killed the person that was the reason why we lost so many citizen. But the pain and sadness that we feel hasn’t faded. We lost so many people that would’ve done wonderful in life. They could have been our friends our future wife/husband or gf/bf and they’re gone now. So many people lost their lives. People lost husbands, wives, children, siblings, friends, their bf or gf. Losing someone is the worst pain a human can feel. I’m sorry if anyone of y’all that’s reading this lost someone from the attack. They’re in a happy place and they’re watching over you always.

The met game on the 21st is memorable because the stadium was filled with the many of the people who had been searching the rubble for bodies and survivors of the attacks and it was also the game in which one of the most iconic home runs in baseball history was hit by mets catcher Mike Piazza.

Instead of playing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' (a song traditionally played during the 7th inning "stretch") they played 'New York, New York' by Frank Sinatra.

They look down on us while trying to gain martyrdom and their so many virgins. There are several deadly sins in there if you believe in the Bible. But they'll keep hating instead of taking care of those in their own religious beliefs.

UPDATE: I kept tearing up but watched until the end. It's important not to forget the bad, and remember the good. I remember exactly where I was at the time of the attack and saw it live (on TV @ home). I lived in the Chicago area at the time, worked in Chicago at the Sears tower (just not on this day), and frequently went to games at Comiskey park. I was not at this game; however, I am not surprised at all with the reactions and the display on this particular game day. 🇺🇸 My friend was working at the Pentagon on 9/11, and we couldn't get in touch with each other for 2 days. Those 2 days seemed SO long!! I can't speak about his job; however, he was walking over to the west side - then got called to another area - so he went there first. Thank goodness he was interrupted. 🙏🏼 The Pentagon is huge, but it was scary to think he would have been in the west side IF he hadn't chosen to take that request. Thanks for sharing this...Americans are known to be very patriotic on an every day basis, and you are right....despite being such a large nation....it doesn't matter if I was 1,000 miles away in Chicago or 3,000 miles away in San Francisco....the sentiment would be the same.
