- Mr. Joe Dittmar spoke to Clover High School on September 16 about his experience in tower two during the attack on 9/11. He tied his speech into decision making and how little decision makes big impacts.
36:47 I think that maintenance man he's referring to is actually Jose Marrero of Euro Brokers. In several recounts of that day told by several Euro Brokers employees, most notably in a documentary called "A Tale of Two Towers" Richard Fern, who had a walkie talkie, could hear Dave Vera calling for help. Brian Clark was with David Vera and his group when he left to help Stanley Praimnath on the 81st floor. While escaping, Brian Clark mentions that he ran into Jose Marrero coming up the stairs on the 68th floor. Brian asked Jose what was he doing and Jose replied that he could hear Dave Vera on the walkie talkie and he needed help. Brian also mentioned that later on coworkers mentioned to him that Jose helped some of the coworkers down to about the 30's or 40's which lines up with What Joe is saying here. It would be interesting if someone showed that documentary to Joe Dittmar or if someone showed him Jose's photo. It's a very interesting story.
Thank you for sharing this. I heard Stanley Praimnath once and share that story and made me think of this. I always wondered if it was the guy Mr. Dittmar talks about.
I put 2 and 2 together and figured that's probably who it was as well. A brave soul that is not nameless anymore.
You know what I think about? In 50 years these survivors all getting together and being interviewed, it would be like watching civil war veterans being interviewed, but it would hit us more because we remember it
What a simply amazing speaker! I am so impressed by his heart! ❤ And looks like the kids are too! Sincerity certainly shines through! WOW!
My duty to give a voice to the 3000 that lost their lives that day …..
Amen to that !💔
He was talking about Rick Riscola at 39.00 Head of security for Morgan Stanley RIP.Joe is a brilliant speaker.Probably the best without doubt
You are absolutely correct. It was Rick.
thats who was singing too no one else has that story attached to them. accredited for saving 2700 people
Rick Blood, the person who told Joe Dittmar to evacuate the meeting after the first crash, was a hero that morning. Joe owes his life to Rick. If Rick hesitated or wasn't adamant, the second plane would've crashed beneath Joe's shoes.
Sadly, Rick perished that morning.
Oh noooooooo!
I am so sorry to hear that about Rick, what a selfless and brave man he must have been
What a great speaker Mr Dittmar is. God bless you man
Wow! This man is an incredible public speaker!
"And we finally turned the corner, and THERE it was, ladies and gentlemen..... Starbucks. And it is OPEN. And there were PEOPLE. IN LINE!!!!" lmao that part was just hilarious
Bring back these events in schools now!
Girl we in the middle of a pandemic
38:10 the guy with a megaphone electronic bullhorn was Rick Rescorla, he gave his life up that day and saved 3000 others
I thought of Mr. Rescorla the instant he said he was singing and part of the 2nd tower security.
Some of those decisions made by people that morning - like the man going to the bathroom - they had no idea that decision would lead to their death.
Joe Dittmar! One of my favorite public speakers, admire him so much.
Thank you for such an amazing testimony of such a life changing day...such a fascinating person..thank you for sharing your story.
My heart breaks, i remember feeling the panic when i saw this on tv, i live in the UK, i just stood and cried in despair, i cant imagine the pain and terror of the souls who experienced this terrible day. 💔😭🙏
Thx you for sharing your story 🙏
Some people got into those elevators, and it saved their lives. Every decision was a life or death gamble on 9/11.

Phenomenal speaker! Such a sad and happy story
For me, this was the worst talk of this kind that I've watched - not just because he thinks he's a comedian but because he's turned it into an act.
I remember when 9/11 happened. I was coloring a time zone map of Canada in my Canadian geography class. 9th grade.
Was in 4th grade
I wasn't thought of
Yes I had just returned to school too in Ontario Canada to get my GED
I was in the womb.
I was in the 4th Grade in Canada as well.
22:00 he's right about cell phones that day I was in 9th grade in ohio watched the second plane hit on CNN back whan it wasn't propaganda I tried calling my mom to let her know we were getting out of school early and the phone towers were jammed couldn't get a call through until I was almost already home.
some cell phones were just plain awful even on a good day. I had a friend and any time we went out we always chose places her cell phone worked at, and more than once I remember her saying, "i have to ask the other parents what carrier they have". even in my house, if she wanted to use her cell phone vs my landline she'd walk all over in hopes of finding a spot the phone worked.
I was so happy when speed dial was invented (yeah, I'm old lol). but rotary phones were the worst, specially if the number had a lot of 8 or 9 in it, and you got a busy signal. back to redialing all those numbers again. then it's busy again, and now you're in an argument and screaming at the receiver and shouting, "just hang the phone already so I can call you". and then you slammed the phone down. that last part tho was always rather satisfying
Wonder if Dave's wife made it
Love those who need it most... those who deserve it less.. only Way to help a terorist to change his mind and have a hope that life May be worth Living, and talk With them , understand what you are afraid of.. get rid of the unknown that scares you.. often not Comming from Evil but from darkness and Half truths and lies... make your goal forgiveness and friendship... this is the lesson 911 taught me... my english is still lousy.. sory... but people get dangerous when they come to a conclution they are worth nothing and noone wants them and they se a chance to be remembered through destruction... Got it from tedx talks.. a man who allmost became a School shooter and a friend treated him like a normal but loved friend and he changed his mind. Now he has wife and kids and a job. Just because one person treated him like a beloved friend.
That cops introduction.. it was like he was pulling someone over.
LoL
Who was the maintenance guy i wonder.
It might’ve been Jose Morrero (see Brian Clark’s speeches). Jose wasn’t a “maintenance man” per se but his actions match the description from Clark.
The fire stairwell was NOT a "concrete bunker". It was enclosed in simple sheetrock.
I just read that it was a double layer of sheet rock; but yes, still sheet rock. He also said that Windows on the World was on The 109th & 110th floor of the North. Tower. But they were on the 106th & 107th. Above them were equipment & communication floors.
@@joytiller5920 OK but let's think about this - 110 floors - people need the core of the building to be as protective as possible in case people need to escape things like fire. Yet they built the then-tallest building in the world with a flimsy core.
The buildings were built to destroy with people in them and everything about them was fashioned to up the death toll.
David Rockefeller was a very bad man.
The people that were fixing the towers we're probably like well that work was pointless
I was 16 when this tragedy happened
I was 14 with my aunt in T2 that day this day traumatized me for life even now the trauma never goes away
How did he see the fuselage of the "plane" in the north tower from the south?
The official end of the 90s
The guy is a good speaker but some of the stuff he says rubs me the wrong way its hard to tell if I like his lecture or not lol
What about Kevin Cosgrove's call recording then? He was calling from 105th floor South Tower. If supposedly everyone from 105th floor left, then how he and at least few other people where there when the second plane hit? Cosgrove claims that he had made a call to his wife telling her that ''he's ok and leaving the building'', so what really happened? Did he left the office on 105th floor, was going down the stairs and when the people were advised to stay at their desks, did he decide to go back up? And how was he able to even make a call? Was he perhaps on the same meeting with Joe Dittmar prior?
Yes I’ve always wondered this he should know who Kevin Cosgrove
This guy came to my school i’m pretty sure
Why lol ? This story is very serious and never to be forgotten
LoL
@@jordharris5007no one remembers everything. Shut up.
I'm Australian. But l was on a Greek island just checking out of a Supermarket at 3pm when a text came from my friend in Melbourne. A plane had hit the WTC. To be honest, l'd never heard of the WTC. But by the end of the day l certainly had. People were sitting in their souvenir shops watching the horror unfold. I went back to my hotel and watched until it was all over. My Auntie and her American husband lived in Washington. He was meant to be at the Pentagon that day. He had a migraine and hadn't gone. Such a lucky escape.
I enjoyed this but this guy says "okay" way too much. Reminds me of Southpark
Too much detail not needed in the begining.
I was 9 months old. Zero memories of the day
This guy's practices and practices his speech and he thinks he's quite the comedian he's right about love your mother tho
This guy’s “account” changes (depending who his audience is)
moronic reply
@@robsash8991 .......... you are blind because you refuse to do the simplest of things......verify
I don't like the fact that he makes the same dorky QUIPS any time I've heard him tell the story.
@Julie that's possible
Well every talk I have watched of his it's very similar. It depends on the AGE group ant allotted time. You would NOT explain it like this to grade school or middle school students. Use you brain before commenting
Verbatim every time he tells this story sounds scripted
🤡
Rams won that game
Came here to listen to a survival story, but he talks about cell phones for like 40 minutes
Obviously you didn't listen to the entire story. The fact that this man is alive today to talk about cell phones for 40 minutes is pretty miraculous.
No, he doesn't. Chill out he's trying to communicate with students
@@andremaster1752It gets played out and cringey when oldheads rant about "back in my day" stories. I feel like it comes off as underestimating younger people's intelligence. I don't remember travelling by horse and carriage but I get the drift.
14:50 "Not a lot of bad effects, nobody really severely affected."
The 1993 WTC bombing killed 6 people and injured over 1,000. But sure, guess that's not "severe" enough for this guy.
Imagine being this pressed
Yeah I guess with what he went through I guess his perspective is definitive now that he's been through severe trauma.
Personally I wouldn't have said that I would have probably just given the stats and let people draw there own conclusions.
He really emphasized "severely severely" as if to stress the minimal damage.
I mean obviously the WTC bombing was terrible but it pales in comparison to the worst single act of violence in human history
He chose poor words to say,yes. However he was trying to explain the comparisons between the two.
Compared to 9/11 maybe.
Guilani knew it was safe to open the subway. He knew building 7 was coming down. Cheney hand already given him the lowdown on what was really going on.
Building 7 has been proved over and over again
Uh...no.
You’re wrong as fuck about all of that but I sympathize with hating Cheney and Guilani
@@HamburgerTime209 Amen!!
🤡
36:26 what brilliant mind ordered the firefighters and EMTs to go up those stairs? It was sheer idiocy.
It's their job to save civilian lives. Every one of them was willing to lay their life on the line to save anybody they could find
Agreed
there were people up there who were alive and needed help. the firefighters and emts had no idea how bad it really was up there-- no one could probably even conceive of the horror that was going on up there. not a single person had any idea those towers would come down the way they did
No one thought the towers would collapse.
Those towers were brought down by explosives. They were not supposed to collapse the way they did in 10 to 12 seconds straight downward into their own footprint. NIST claimed that there was no evidence of explosives being used that day but when asked if they had looked for explosives possibly being used....NIST said no they had not. If the 2 twin towers and building # 7 had truly collapsed from a plane hitting it and/or fires or jet fuel they would have collapsed gradually over a period of many hours or even days. They would not have collapsed and turned into a pile of dustified concrete and twisted steel in 10 to 12 seconds. NIST said that this was a first in history that a building like building # 7 was brought down by office fires. They said building codes would probably have to be changed. Well....it has been 21 years since that horrific day and there has been no changes to building codes. Why is that? Because anyone with a brain really knows that those buildings were taken down by explosives in a controlled demolition. They are just keeping quiet about it and keeping their heads in the sand. It's a huge elephant in the room and it's sad.
That guy is trying way to hard to be funny.
SuperGymmie boomer but not in a bad way
Guess it makes it easier for him to explain.
Might be a coping mechanism
No he's not. He is talking to teens. He had to find a way to communicate in a way that keeps them listening. And break up the sadness of the what he was talking.
REALLY?!!!!!!!! SHAME ON YOU FOR TELLING SUCH VILE LIES ABOUT WHAT YOU SAW ON 9/11!!! THERES NO POSSIBLE WAY YOU SAW A FUSELAGE IN THE FIRST TRADE CENTER!!!
Get a life...you need help immediately.
What an idiot. Becky has the wrong last name. She’s Not too “Quick”.
So you were there, had a better view, and know what you're talking about? You're a disgrace.
I believe the guy. He was there, he had a direct look at the building. Were you there? I don't think so. Ive seen other stories of people who saw parts of the plane stuck in doorways in the building after the planes hit
Your right, he is a BS artist since the AA 767 was ripped into small pieces and the only large pieces were the two jet engines and tires that landed in the streets below by the West Side Highway.
20:48 Flip phones in 2001 ?? Everybody had a Nokia or Blackberry. I think this guy is full of shit. Making money from a Tragedy.
Can ya blame him? Who the hell wants to be an insurance agent their whole life?
