    My only brother worked for Marsh & McClellan. On a last minute whim, he and four other attorneys decided to fly to Houston for depositions on the night of the 10th, missing that morning meeting. They were the only survivors. He was devastated.

    Every year or so, I come onto UA-cam and look up everything 9/11 all over again. I find myself traumatized by the images and stories every time. But I keep coming back. We must never forget. 💗🙏

    It was pretty amazing that he got a few pieces of his wife back when she had been in the 99th floor! Very humbling to listen to these stories.

    Good Lord Jim tells a story better than most pro movie voice over / narrators. I could physically see every frame of his experience in my minds eye and his brothers face at the end forms the final image as the credits would roll. I cried like a baby. What a lesson in the power of Humanity and human connection. ❤️‍🩹

    The second story is so classic of PTSD. I admire him so much for sharing his story. I'm so glad he resolved things internally to some extent. I'll remember his brother Joe, as well as Ray and his story about his wife,from this video. 💗

    I saw how courageous he was in a CBS documentary of 9/11. If you don’t know his name please look him up. He is an amazing firefighter who gave his life to save innocent civilians. A true hero!!

    @QS-si3cq 3 роки тому +9

    I wondered how they presented the remains to those that actually wanted to see them. This is the first video in this series I've seen that addressed that. What a tough proposition to consider the forces at work that day, in that most people recovered were blown apart in the attack events and/or pulverized in the tower collapse that day.
    As the host said, people really do wonder about things like that, so it was a big, personal share to make to a room of strangers.

    • @carolines3953
      @carolines3953 3 роки тому +1

      I’m sure the families hope their loved one didn’t suffer; that it was quick. Like Ray said, his wife was at point of entry on the 99th floor and that’s all they recovered of her so he can hope it was quick. I can’t imagine what people trapped above faced. My mind can’t go there. But to know that people chose to jump rather than face the fires inside, it’s unfathomable and breaks my heart.

  • @VickiBee
    @VickiBee Рік тому

    I was a friend. . ..and a neighbor, but I don't think that counts. With HIS family, it makes sense, but not mine. I would want my friends there as much as family because my family has so many issues with narcissism and I was a foster child; she wasn't my real mother and he wasn't my real dad, but suddenly we were "family?" That's one reason I think someone can definitely choose family. You choose your spouse too.
    That must be what Eric meant when he said you can think of some friends as family and that some friends are better than family.
