I remember this day as if it was yesterday. I was a sophomore in high school, about three blocks away from the impact zone. I remember leaving school that day looking to my left which look like a woman however he or she was going so fast that I couldn’t tell as she was falling down the building. The body had impacted and imploded on the top of a vehicle. I remember closing my eyes and in utter shock continuing my way back home. When all of a sudden the ground beneath me began to rumble, not knowing where that was coming from until I turned around and saw the World trade Center south tower falling. That day will forever be in my soul, the people lost on that day including my cousin fire fighter Bobby Foti Will forever be in my heart. Hours after the incident had occurred we were allowing complete strangers into our home so that they can wash all the debris and dust off their body and clothes. This is a fraction of my story on that day and I can’t believe it’s been 20 years already. God bless all the lives taken on that day, as well as the the soldiers whom fought in the war that followed this horrific day. God bless all humans and we need to remember we are on this planet 🌎 together and should spread love and not hate. 😔
Thank you for your story. It must have been a horrible experience at that age. I hope it hasn't had a too detrimental affect on you. I have experienced a terrorist attack myself at the age of 14 and every time I see something like that my thoughts go to the people caught up in it, the victims as well as those that witness it. Stay strong!💪
Wow... thank you for being so transparent Sneak Dripp! Can't imagine being right there, it was frightening enough everywhere else. I worked for someone in the airports, and that was a crazy job to be in at that time. Knew more than I wanted to about what was going on. My prayers to you and yours are continuing!!!

The firefighters , construction crews and volunteers all searched for fully intact victims first then did bucket loads to look for any chopped up bodies then after so long large wheel loaders and excavators stuck the rest into dump trucks to be taken to the old landfill in Brooklyn called Fresh Kills Landfill to be thoroughly searched for any other human remains.

20 years ago today, people were just going about their work lives. 20 years ago today, people were flying in a plane ready to get to their destination. These people had lives. They had families. They had a future. It was just supposed to be another day.
You have to give Mr. Ken Holden all the respect in the world for taking on a job such as he did. WOW, I never would have imagined the extent of what was really going on up at Ground Zero or what the extent of what had to be done. God Bless them all!!!...
I remember looking at that pile of rubble and steel, not being able to comprehend how these men were going to clean up such a massive mess. I thought it would take years. I think many of us did. But thankfully they managed to clean up fairly quickly. At an unfortunate cost. Many people buried underneath could not be rescued. They suffered in silence and darkness.
Time is fast, life is short. 20 years flicks like a switch. Remember the attack Pearl Harbor Dec 7th? Wait 40 years nobody will be talking about 9/11 anymore

It still was yesterday for thousands of victims families who lost loved ones. Never forget... it was an inside job. - 9/11: Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out: ua-cam.com/video/Ddz2mw2vaEg/v-deo.html
@Jane Lawrence And? What does that have to do with it being an inside job? The evidence has been proven. Countless irrefutable scientifically proven evidence. Plus all one has to do is watch the videos of the twin towers or WTC7 collapsing, and think a little bit, and common sense should tell you it's impossible for those buildings to fall at free fall speed in the manner they did unless they were blown up. If you or anyone else doesn't know this by now, then you either haven't looked at all, or have cognitive dissonance.

Every year I share and reshare. Every year I watch something new on the Tower losses. Every year I am again reminded of the horror visited upon us all. Every year I am again affected by it all as if 20 years have not passed. I will never forget.
Its not only you americans. Here in germany nearly everyone remembers where they were on that day. Even I, who was 4 years old at the time, remember everyone watching television news and swearing at what was happening. And even tho I could not comprehend what I saw at the time, I still have some memory of it.
@@quanbrooklynkid7776 well the most important ones. But it's Germany and since the cold war we had a somewhat close bond to the US, because we were at the very front of the Iron curtain
I was in the 5th grade. Still vividly remember the teacher wheeling out the cart with the TV on it. We didn't watch long because we left early. I walked home from school and watched it on TV with my mom. I live in Virginia next to an ammuntion plant. I remember jets flying over several times
A few years ago for my wife’s birthday we stayed at the Marriott downtown which overlooks the memorial and features a clear view of One WTC. It was a beautiful view of the tower and memorial below. But it felt very wrong to be in that spot celebrating anything. I’ll never stay in downtown again. I had a real heavy feeling in that place.
I stopped at a gas station that morning. They had a TV behind the counter and I saw the North Tower burning. I asked the cashier what movie they were watching. The expression on their faces told me what I needed to know. Raced to my then boyfriends' house and saw the second plane hit. I'll never forget, and it's terrible and comforting that others have had this experience; Pearl Harbor, Kennedy assassination, 9-11.
I live in the lovely Scottish borders in Scotland. On the 9th of September 2001 I was so busy organising my wedding which was happening the next month on the 6th. My almost mother in law phoned me so upset. She said 'have you seen the news. A plane has crashed into a building in new york'! She was someone who got upset quickly with everything on the news so I told her 'dont worry. Everything is fine' , I reckoned she'd maybe half heard a story on the news and overthought it. But I put on the news anyways and saw the replays of what had happened. I kept watching the news constantly even when it was replays, I couldn't take it in. I felt like it couldn't be real, that it was like a movie, my mind wouldn't let me accept that it was real. I decided, I need to cancel the wedding. The thought of me organising something as beautiful as a wedding when this horrible thing had happened and people were desperately trying to find their loved ones, it felt wrong. Very wrong. My family forced me to go to the doctor, which I'm thankful they did, and I spoke to a lovely doctor who told me it was ok to get married. That it was ok to be happy. I'll never forget that feeling I had though. They (whoever they are) say that you never forget where you were and it's true.
Most Americans know it was an inside job by the CIA. Our government is Evil. We the people can't stop this corporate monster that has taken over the earth. Welcome to the new world order. 911 was the start of the end for the world's freedom. Small minded people with little eyes can't see the big picture

Sou do Brasil e também me recordo exatamente do local em que estava naquele dia trágico... eu tinha 15 anos na época... foi muito triste e doloroso, parecia não ser verdade, o sentimento de ver as pessoas tendo que se jogar das janelas dos prédios e nada podermos fazer para ajudá-las... Que Deus tenha misericórdia dessas almas. 🙏
Just turned 25 this year.. I'm so sad for the families of everybody involved but I'm also sad that I don't really remember the world I was born in and it no longer exists other than videos and pictures.. wish we had time machines.
Growing up in the area I’m remember playing in the building and hanging in the plaza. I was in book store a few days before. Hard to believe this really happened.
Geez,I knew I shouldn't have watched this. Tears as I type. May God Bless this Engineer, and may God comfort those that died there. There is no suffering seated at the right hand of God Our Father. Amen.
MOST were never found. Not even pieces. And there was pieces of human body parts scattered for BLOCKS around the buildings. There is only one way that can happen.

“Is this sacred ground”. Duhhhhh. We consider grave yard sacred. And none of those people died in that exact spot. There are thousands of spirits. Trapped in the ground there. I’ve been to ground 0. You can feel it. You can feel. The pain and suffering. These poor people were subjected to.
I'm wondering if the man looking for his son was Lee Ielpi. He spent a good amount of time at Ground Zero and unfortunately had to carry his deceased son out. It breaks my heart.
@@hurkydoesntknow If it’s the indeed the same guy, at least he found his son’s body. It sounds like that was a long shot at that point, and many other families did not get the same closure.
I think it was Lee Ielpi looking for his son, Jonathan. He talks often about the respect that was shown to himself and his son when they found him and the great care the took to honor his remains.
That's a day most Americans recall with great clarity. Most NYers do anyhow. I can recall almost minute by minute from the moment i woke up to late afternoon, even though it started out as an average, beautiful fall day. RIP to all victims of 9/11...you are always in our thoughts.
I'll never forget that day where I was what I was doing seen on TV plane had hit the south tower then a few minutes later the second tower I knew it we where gonna be at war
When all was said and done the final figure came out to around 1.45 million tons of rubble, and several more bodies were in fact recovered from WTC 6 after this interview was conducted, likely in areas at least briefly seen in this video.
Terrorists tried in 1993 by blowing up the underground garage thinking that it was going to capsize...BUT they got smarter and crashed the planes into them....I live in bensonhurst brooklyn 1 mile from the verrazano bridge and I heard a loud boom thinking it was a dump truck that p assed on the street...only when I turned on the TV and saw the plane hitting the plane I realized...I will never forget that day
Very painful to see this even after so many years..😣 I hope these guys are still ok with the amount of exposure of gases and asbestos they must have gone through.
At around the 4:47 mark they enter a place with books on shelves and a postcard rack. That was the Borders Books and Music concourse entrance.

@@majamusuramalatestinic8245 saved the books or saved Borders Books and Music? The books were thrown away as part of the rubble, I think. Borders as a bookstore company went out of business almost ten years ago.

I would like to thank the great country of ENGLAND. The great QUEEN had a band play the star spangled banner the day after 9-11. She is amazing and thank you .
All of western countries and more paid respects to USA on the aftermath of the attacks... The question should be: did USA pay respects to London, Paris or Madrid after the multiple terrorist attacks?
Yes, the Queen remembered the USA on 2001, and each year on 9/11 there after. She played the American anthem. What a tribute for us, and what a class act the Queen is.
No need to tell my NYC story. But who else remembers noting, practically out loud to themselves that day before the planes hit, "what a spectacularly beautiful, clear day this is!"?
It was like that thru the whole northeast…I remember listening to the radio going to school that and they were also saying how there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and how beautiful the weather was a how perfect it was out. There’s always a serene calm before the storm.
I am from XJ, China, back to 2001, that year was my first year in elementary school. In that time, I was too small, I did not realize how this relates with me and how this going to affect the world but I still felt it is not good. I think there many Americans might think how does this matter to China, to a Chinese. In fact, I had a same question and I have my answer now. The answer is not just about 21 Chinese citizens lost their life in that day, it is about we share the same feeling as human beings, it is about we face the same threat from terrorism, it is about how the US and China/world were working together to against terrorism. Just 1 month later after 911 President J. W. Bush visited China, then 2 months later after his visit, China joined WTO. I saw how the relationship between the US and China changed, I saw terrorism has never stop the step of globalization, I also saw the terrorism still spread all over the world, the US, Europe and China as well. Back to 2009, in my hometown, Urumqi, XJ, China, there was a series terrorist attacks, a lot of peoples lost their life in those attacks. (So Chinese people can definitely feel American people's sadness, because we both suffered). I started to realize that terrorism is not just an enemy for a certain country but for all the countries in this world. Thus, I went to University of California to study global studies in 2012. After many years study, I think the US and China and the whole world should stand together to against terrorism. There can be some competition between the US and China but there should no conflict. Both country should respect each other and cooperate with each other, give up some of political differences such as stop the double standards on against terrorism. Under the current COVID pandemic, I strongly believe, the US and China should sincerely cooperate with each other just like the old days. Because, under globalization, all the people will share the pain and feel the pain together no matter it from terrorism or from the pandemic. May God bless us. Peace.
@@osher87 in China the virus originated...but the Chinese people did not "create" the virus. The Chinese people are like everyone and like all countries...but the CCP that is a different issue. The CCP having experience with sars in 2002, knew that this virus was killing a few people in China and that it spread by contact rapidly. Yet the CCP allowed Chinese people to fly all over the world, instead of containing the virus in China. The CCP, NOT the Chinese people are to blame for this worldwide epidemic.
@@jaycuzman625 Don't u see how many variants this virus have? it's engineered by CCP obviously, look at corona stats, the CCP lies there also support the fact that the whole world is in danger.

The firefighters , construction crews and volunteers all searched for fully intact victims first then did bucket loads to look for any chopped up bodies then after so long large wheel loaders and excavators stuck the rest into dump trucks to be taken to the old landfill in Brooklyn called Fresh Kills Landfill to be thoroughly searched for any other human remains.

I've always thought Dan Rather was one of the best and finest reporters on TV and this video showing his concern and professionalism just makes him a true human being, along with being the best reporter among reporters!
I remember I lived in Brazil in 2001 and in I moved to America in 2002 : I became a citizen in 2009 . I will never forget their pain . The world felt this pain .
20 years ago today, people were just going about their work lives. 20 years ago today, people were flying in a plane ready to get to their destination. These people had lives. They had families. They had a future.

I remember looking at that pile of rubble and steel, not being able to comprehend how these men were going to clean up such a massive mess. I thought it would take years. I think many of us did. But thankfully they managed to clean up fairly quickly. At an unfortunate cost. Many people buried underneath could not be rescued. They suffered in silence and darkness.

Its not only you americans. Here in germany nearly everyone remembers where they were on that day. Even I, who was 4 years old at the time, remember everyone watching television news and swearing at what was happening. And even tho I could not comprehend what I saw at the time, I still have some memory of it.
So yall get news bout the US in your country
@@quanbrooklynkid7776 well the most important ones. But it's Germany and since the cold war we had a somewhat close bond to the US, because we were at the very front of the Iron curtain
I was in the 5th grade. Still vividly remember the teacher wheeling out the cart with the TV on it. We didn't watch long because we left early. I walked home from school and watched it on TV with my mom. I live in Virginia next to an ammuntion plant. I remember jets flying over several times
And they did and what a wonderful job they did. I’m Australian and paid my respects at the memorial. The human spirit is still strong.
A few years ago for my wife’s birthday we stayed at the Marriott downtown which overlooks the memorial and features a clear view of One WTC. It was a beautiful view of the tower and memorial below. But it felt very wrong to be in that spot celebrating anything. I’ll never stay in downtown again. I had a real heavy feeling in that place.
I stopped at a gas station that morning. They had a TV behind the counter and I saw the North Tower burning. I asked the cashier what movie they were watching. The expression on their faces told me what I needed to know. Raced to my then boyfriends' house and saw the second plane hit.
I'll never forget, and it's terrible and comforting that others have had this experience; Pearl Harbor, Kennedy assassination, 9-11.
Lived all of this. Crazy. History books don't show the day by day. You have to be there.
I live in the lovely Scottish borders in Scotland. On the 9th of September 2001 I was so busy organising my wedding which was happening the next month on the 6th. My almost mother in law phoned me so upset. She said 'have you seen the news. A plane has crashed into a building in new york'! She was someone who got upset quickly with everything on the news so I told her 'dont worry. Everything is fine' , I reckoned she'd maybe half heard a story on the news and overthought it. But I put on the news anyways and saw the replays of what had happened. I kept watching the news constantly even when it was replays, I couldn't take it in. I felt like it couldn't be real, that it was like a movie, my mind wouldn't let me accept that it was real. I decided, I need to cancel the wedding. The thought of me organising something as beautiful as a wedding when this horrible thing had happened and people were desperately trying to find their loved ones, it felt wrong. Very wrong. My family forced me to go to the doctor, which I'm thankful they did, and I spoke to a lovely doctor who told me it was ok to get married. That it was ok to be happy. I'll never forget that feeling I had though. They (whoever they are) say that you never forget where you were and it's true.
I am not American but I clearly remember this. I watched the news on tv with so much disbelief, I was hardly moving.
Most Americans know it was an inside job by the CIA. Our government is Evil. We the people can't stop this corporate monster that has taken over the earth. Welcome to the new world order. 911 was the start of the end for the world's freedom. Small minded people with little eyes can't see the big picture

I am from XJ, China, back to 2001, that year was my first year in elementary school. In that time, I was too small, I did not realize how this relates with me and how this going to affect the world but I still felt it is not good. I think there many Americans might think how does this matter to China, to a Chinese. In fact, I had a same question and I have my answer now. The answer is not just about 21 Chinese citizens lost their life in that day, it is about we share the same feeling as human beings, it is about we face the same threat from terrorism, it is about how the US and China/world were working together to against terrorism. Just 1 month later after 911 President J. W. Bush visited China, then 2 months later after his visit, China joined WTO. I saw how the relationship between the US and China changed, I saw terrorism has never stop the step of globalization, I also saw the terrorism still spread all over the world, the US, Europe and China as well. Back to 2009, in my hometown, Urumqi, XJ, China, there was a series terrorist attacks, a lot of peoples lost their life in those attacks. (So Chinese people can definitely feel American people's sadness, because we both suffered). I started to realize that terrorism is not just an enemy for a certain country but for all the countries in this world. Thus, I went to University of California to study global studies in 2012. After many years study, I think the US and China and the whole world should stand together to against terrorism. There can be some competition between the US and China but there should no conflict. Both country should respect each other and cooperate with each other, give up some of political differences such as stop the double standards on against terrorism. Under the current COVID pandemic, I strongly believe, the US and China should sincerely cooperate with each other just like the old days. Because, under globalization, all the people will share the pain and feel the pain together no matter it from terrorism or from the pandemic. May God bless us. Peace.

@@osher87 in China the virus originated...but the Chinese people did not "create" the virus. The Chinese people are like everyone and like all countries...but the CCP that is a different issue.

Yet the CCP allowed Chinese people to fly all over the world, instead of containing the virus in China. The CCP, NOT the Chinese people are to blame for this worldwide epidemic.
