9/11 Twenty Years Later: America Remembers
Вставка

- ABC News aired a Special Report Saturday morning to remember the nearly 3,000 people who died in terrorist attacks carried out by al Qaeda militant extremists in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C.
May all the innocent victims of 9/11 rest in peace😢
No amount of time can dry my tears and sorrow of that day !!! I was 32 years old on that day and I drove like a mad woman to get my kid out of school. We had no idea what was going on in America.
I will never never forget.
I was 31 and same- raced to get my son from school. Beyond terrifying...God bless America ❤
I was born after 9/11 and even I get the chills and get all teary when I even think about it.
Same 😭I was born in 2007
I was born in 2000 and even though I was to young to remember that day I still want to cry for those who died.
The images will never leave my mind.
Yeah I was born in 2002 😭😢
I was 25 that time, my colleague's husband called us at work and reported that there had been a serious accident in New York. During the phone call, the second plane flew into the other tower and we knew then that the world would never be the same again. I opened the internet and we stared at the live images as the horrific events unfolded. Our boss sent us home early and I watched TV all day long, couldn't take my eyes off it, tried to really understand what I was seeing what this would mean for our all future. A friend called me to wish me a belated birthday and I was so happy to be able to talk to someone. Nobody should forget that this attack took place on American soil but affected the entire free world. So many different nationalities lost loved ones that day. There were also 11 Germans from my home country among them. So many senseless losses. I realize that other historical events have cost far more lives, but this event will forever be enshrined in all of our memories as the day on which our innocent youth and unconditional freedom ended.
The story of every person is not forgotten.
Never Forget.
Hello..
Well said !! Very well said !
After 20 years and I still shed tears. I didn’t lose anyone but it was a direct hit to all Americans on that day. The song that gentleman sang had me choked up
That was Bruce Springsteen
it was pretty surreal up here as well..we had 11 planes land here in moncton nb ...no lies, because of the chaos and retoric of 9/11 even though I'm only 2.5 hrs away from the border,I have not crossed since...need a passport now
Now it's 22 Years (2023), I remember as if it was only yesterday, I was at my house with my 4-month-old Newborn Daughter named Reilly, my 6-year-old son named Tyler, my 8-year-old daughter named Savannah, my 10-year-old son named James, my Husband Adam had just gone to work, he was the foreman at a local Logging Company, I was in the kitchen washing the breakfast dishes that, Tyler, Savannah, and James had just got done eating breakfast, They had been Eating Pancakes with Hash Browns, I was looking over the Island Bar that connected the Kitchen and the living room, in the corner of the Living room in the Entertainment Center, on the TV an Episode of "Little House on the Prairie" (When It was on the Superstation TBS Network at the time, and It was the episode of when that House that they've made into a School for all of those Poor Blind Kids was on Fire) was playing on the TV, Baby Reilly was sleeping in her Infant Swing, Tyler was in his bedroom watching on his TV on the DVD Player, His Favorite Movie, "The Fox and the Hound" (1981) (Animated Movie), Savannah was in her room playing with her Barbie Dolls and watching on her TV, her Favorite Animated Movie "The Little Mermaid" (1989), and James was in his bedroom playing with his Legos and watching on his TV on the DVD Player, His Favorite Animated Movie "The Rescuers Down Under" (1990), I was washing the last bowl, and was putting it in the drainer to dry, when the Telephone rang, I rushed to answer it, I picked up the receiver, I started talking to my friend named Carly, I was talking to her for over an hour, she asked me if I and the kids would go with her and her kids out shopping, I would tell her that I would like that, until I was looking at the mirror that was hanging on the hallway wall, and it was directed to the corner, and saw this happening, I turned around and was looking at this, I asked Carly if she was watching it, she told me that she was, we both hang up the phone, I picked Baby Reilly up, rushed her to the nursery and placed her in the crib, to finish her nap, I closed the nursery door, I told Tyler, Savannah, and James not to go into the living room, I closed their bedroom doors, I rushed back to the living room and finished watching this.
R.I.P to those who lost their lives.
World Trade Center.
The Pentagon.
United 93.
@@tazztower44 Don't worry, as someone that has visited Moncton, I don't think you will ever hear someone saying they have any desire to go there.
@@chownful moncton really is a shithole for sure,glad I'm a bit away tbh...pretty sure the folks on those planes had no desire to visit either..what's your point?
It honestly feels like yesterday. You blink, and everything has changed forever.
The part where Peter Jennings was trying so hard to keep it together when talking his kids and other families who have them. Hit me hard.😥
I am from Germany. But every year that day my heart breaks and i cry for those who lost their life.
Watching this happen in real time on live TV was one of the most horrifying, heartbreaking feeling that literally made you sick to your stomach. I remember being in such a weird state of of shock, that when I saw the 1st tower collapse, I remember this I ice cold sensation shoot through my whole body,followed by immediate intense nausea. I’ll never forget that. Knowing, that what I was watching In that very moment, was hundreds/potentially thousands of people, dying, right as I stood there watching. That it made me physically Ill with grief for the 1st time in my life. And I didn’t even know the people that lost their lives,but it hit, HARD.
I am just now recognizing that I have PTSD from 9/11 and am still figuring out how to come to terms with it. 20+ yrs later and its still no easier to watch those buildings fall and to hear the screams and cries : / .. still see the people jumping in my head
That description was everything I thought and felt also ! Thank you for putting my feelings to words.
I shall never never forget
I was only 8 years old when it happened but seeing those poor people trapped in the upper floors forced to jump or burn to death changed my entire view on humanity
Your description is spot on with how I’ve felt. I was 18 and a brand new college freshman. I lived 45 min outside of lower Manhattan and watched local NY news live as I got word classes in NJ were of course cancelled as most of my professors were from the city. I’ve lived with what I realized about 10 yrs ago is PTSD. I stayed away from Manhattan for months before going back. I watched so many jumpers/people who fell, whichever, that really messed me up mentally. That was so hard. Even years later, while it’s gotten better at age 40 now, still watching footage every year makes me realize how real this all was. It wasn’t a movie. I watched people die and no one could help them.
And now almost 22 years later, we still all shed tears and express our condolences to the victims and their families of that darkest day in America.. Never forget 🇺🇲🇺🇸
Every year the reading of the names puts the enormity of this tragedy into perspective. I have the most profound respect for those reading the names. I don’t think I could hold it together. God bless all of the survivors and their families. Our hearts go out to you and we love you all. God bless America.
I was a new father. I had the privilege of coming home to lunch to visit my wife and child. And I remember watching the memorial at the national cathedral. And breaking down in tears
20years on and it still makes my heart painful. Rest in peace and love brave and couragist people. Much love and hugs to all the families who lost someone in this devastating and tragic event. America you are a strong couragous people. 20 years on and you have risen from the ashes, let the phoenix continue to rise above all. NZ
RIP Orio Palmer and all who we lost that day and continue to lose..
❤
Yes that courageous man made it to I think was the 88th story and was going to start to evacuate people when the tower fell !!! I think he made it up threw smoke and fire up all those stairs in like 29-30 minutes!!!!! What a hero !!! I bow my head to him and his family !!!!😞🙏
Watching this for the first time. Cried my eyes out. To those who lost someone I will never forget! I keep you all in my prayers!
My wife as work in lower Manhattan that day. For years she would freak out and start crying every time a jet flew over low. It’s why we moved away from the city.
Peter Jennings deserves all the glory of heaven for all he did to lead our country through this terrible day. God bless him - his reporting on 9/11 will forever cement him as one of the greatest newsreaders in our nation’s history
Not even sure how to reply to that spewage of nonsense.
I heartily agree. For days he was the first person we saw on the news in the morning and the last person we saw when we turned off the television
@@festeringuncle5576then don’t, and keep quiet. Nobody cares about your opinion
@@festeringuncle5576bet you like tucker Carlson and Fox News …
@@rodimus371 And you bet wrong - Don't go to Vegas.
I was 13 that day. I was old enough to remember and reflect but young enough to remain idealistic about the future. A major coming of age moment for me.
I was 19 in 2001,and lived in Massachusetts. I woke up with the tv on ,and after the first plane crashed.Its 2023 now and it still feels like it was yesterday 😢
I love how Zelina and all the people cared about others and not just their family members
breaks my heart ❤️ sending love to everyone who lost a loved one 20 years ago. Never Forget! Also hoping we can go back to being this united once again 🙏🏻
But we are, even if it doesn't seem like it. This day brings Americans together in a way that would not be possible, if unity wasn't our strong suit.
Yes I pray we can join together .please can I be communicating with you through your email address or WhatsApp so that we can unite together
@@humblehilton3817 hello
@@scotanderson1795 how are you can we chat
@@LynxStarAuto the msm are trying their best to make us think that we are not winning but we are.. We are the freedom loving people of the United States of America and we will all stand together United because we have to. We have got to think for ourselves and know that we will be there for each other as we always have. God Bless
I wish the world could come back together like it did that day! We were all in shock and horrified by this unforgivable act! So many people from so many countries dead! For no reason! We all mourned for America!
People need to watch this now, all the division, political dogma, hatred over simple disagreements. Black, white, democrat, republican, none of it matters. We're AMERICANS first and foremost
I was at work, when the second plane hit all were in shock. The fear and terror of it all. I will never forget
September 11th, 2001, 9/11/2001 the lives lost 😞 on that faithful day will stand for the test of time. Most of the loves ones who lost their mothers, fathers, daughters or sons twenty years they’re still living that day. Sad.
😢😢😔😔
I was a nursing student and pregnant. Not Lon after I lost that baby. But I will never forget watching and wanting to help and knowing I couldn’t. I remember calling my dad to make sure nobody we knew were in the pentagon and had been lost. His former secretary lived through it all.
im s0 s0rry
My heart aches hearing all the names of the innocent people we lost I will never forget any of these names or the events that happened 9/11/2001 neverforget
I was at a funeral all day in London. On my aay back i learned of the diaster. I truly did not believe it was humanly possible to see or experience such horror. My now ex husband who is American signed up to the Army post this, because of this, and served in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places. May each and every soul rest in peace. I will never forget as long as i live. My love and thoughts are forever linked to yours💔
1:29:10 that was the call that makes me feel sad Kevin’s cosgrove call :(
9/11 is a very depressing day. May all the victims rest in peace. And, may their surviving Family and Friends know that their loved ones are all fine and at peace.
I still remember seeing the picture someone took looking down at the spot were all the jumpers were landed. HORRIFIC , i still vividly see it
I can remembered 9/11 when I was living in New Jersey when I took my sister @ the bus stop for school,came back home & turns the television on was just breaking news about the two Towers that were taking downs 2001❤❤❤
I'm not Amercian but I remember that day like yesterday. I was still a young soldier in my country. it was already Wednesday in my part of the globe. I was the PA to my Officer-in-Command. I was wondering why my OC was in base so early. I entered his office and saw that all the commanders in the company was already in there, watching the news. We got orders to mobilize and to go home, say our goodbyes and what not, then go back to base for operations. Didn't see home for weeks after that. We deployed around the country and to form a protective circle around the overseas base here for the US Navy, Canadians, Kiwis and Australia. New brotherhood born right there.
I was only 10 months old when it happened but even learning about it in school and seeing those images and videos gave me such dread as a child. I’m still afraid to fly in planes today I can’t imagine actually being there when it happened.
I'm 16 years older than you & I can tell you what made this so unlike many other major world events, other than the pure horror & scale, was the fact that NYC was so omnipresent in media and music around the world. People around the world who'd never been there were really familiar with the city & that makes it easier to empathise + fathom what was happening in real time. I'm a 90s kid & NY was the setting for more movies & TV shows than any other place in the US by far - the biggest 90s shows were Seinfeld, The Nanny, Friends, Sex and the City etc. It's kinda like people had a parasocial relationship with the place I guess...
The only thing similar was the Boxing Day Tsunami
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!!!
God bless everyone my grandma’s friend will be remembered on 9/11 she was on one of the planes
Hello...
Almost 22years ago, we were woken up from a deep sleep here in New Zealand by my father in law shouting down the phone saying America is under attack!! Turn on your TV. We sat stunned all day, such destruction, such cruelty. Even today seeing all these videos and reports takes you back to that horrendous day and to all the following days to come. May they all rest in peace and to all the families. God bless you all.
Just hearing the names makes me cry, I instinctively always watch the documentaries a day or two before the actual day of. I was only nine years old when this happened but it’s never let me such devastating thing for all the families, my people in New York or safe thank God.
being an unborn child during 9/11 that didn't enter the world until the following tuesday the 18th, i never got the chance to personally conceptualize the gravity of this event until i saw the pools in person. What a jaw-dropping and sacred ground the trade center is. I don't think i could have ever understood the scale of those buildings without being in the vicinity of where this occurred. I truly hope all of the victims are at peace and with their loved ones wherever that may be.
My niece arrived 18 days later….her dad turned 25 that morning on 9/11.
Here 22 years, on the day 9/11 2023, later it still is a day in history to remember even for me who lives in sweden. I remeber watching it on tv the day it happened and I was horrified. Still a very sad day. Around 3000 kids lost a parent or parents. And all that survived and are scarred. And my thoughts to all that has gotten sick afterwards by working at ground zero. So So sad.
at 58:50, Sister knows what's up. A brilliantly crafted tribute. That pause...is a statement, in my opinion.
Hamilton I am among the victim thank you for your concern please I will Love chat you on WhatsApp
The world was never the same again since this day
And now it's worse.. they did nothing for the survivors and people who spent WEEKS and MONTHS looking, digging, cleaning up. So many already died from breathing all that in and all those who are sick for the rest of their lives, physically and mentally.
To give them money for 5 Years only. When they get MILLIONS
@@Mcat78 yeah I know I don’t know how the could say the air was safe to breath. I’m nearly positive I seen In documentary before about the construction of the towers they were built using asbestos
100 years from now I hope they are still doing the names reading with the bell on 9/11. Young people who weren't alive need to learn and know all of what happened. As for myself, I was 53 on 9/11 - thinking about the end of my career. Today I am 75 and long-ago retired. The 2 worst days of my life were the JFK assassination on 11.22.1963 and 09.11.2001. The worst year was 1968 - the Tet Offensive, MLK Jr. and RFK both shot and killed. I sincerely hope that no more horrible stuff happens before I croak and my ashes get scattered someplace cool.
my friend was there at about midnight sept 12 2001 he said there where body parts all over from people that had to jump hes still not the same after that a nightmare for him hes really messed up
Imagine actually seeing it happen...
just the sound of those poor souls hitting the ground is horrific !! Rip
A day never to forget.. And those people that had been forced to jump (around 200+-) imagine those feelings because there was no chance to survival (Burn alive or jump to dead). PURE EVIL.
It's such a shame that people only unite when tragedy happens unfortunately.. RIP
20 years ago, when I was 12 years old, the events came in when I was living in Massachusetts and my old sitter told me about it
I was the same age. We didn’t have cable back then but my grandma who lives up the street called and we all rushed up to her house to watch it.
20 years ago I was 38. Now I’m 46 and it still seems like yesterday.
You mean now you're 58yo (38 + 20) 🙃
LOL - not too good at math, huh? 😁😁😁😁
The victims of 9/11 must be remembered.
I was 17 & in 11th grade when this happened. I was at school in study hall.....A teacher turned on the TV because it was on the news that a plane hit the WTC.... I watched the second plane hit & I remember how traumatizing that was to watch.
It was a controlled demolition.
maxim1, it wasn’t very controlled.
I was 2 years old when this happened so I have no memory of it but it hits me hard now
The day that changed the world forever.
I was at a friends house when this went down I didn’t know how bad it was until there was a documentary about it then 20 years later I was at walt Disney World I the tears didn’t stop at all the first person I seen leaving the resort I sent them prayers to be safe
I find it amazing how many young kids do this kids that never meet their loved one but I'm sure grew up hearing how they died
Idk why this came up on my feed today, but I have to say, stuff like this always chokes me up.
9/11 is actually my first concrete memory. I was 4. I remember vividly seeing the second plane flying into the second tower, my mom turning and letting out this noise. It wasn’t a scream, but it was a sound of pure terror. I think that moment was the first time I understood that horrible things could really happen.
Of course I didn’t understand the gravity of everything I was seeing that morning. The best way to describe it is I think I processed it like I was watching a movie. It wasn’t until I was around 16/17 when I saw a documentary that played the same video that I think it finally hit me. And it was only more intense finding out about the jumpers. That horrified me in a way I can’t describe.
I also learned later that my father was out of state (he worked as a sports announcer that traveled for the events). She was on the phone with him when the second plane hit. I believe he was supposed to fly home that day…It’s just a lot
Wishing continued peace for all those people who lost loved ones ❤️
I was studying in Ecuador while in college but my host family didn't know what was going on and my classmates didn't either. It was too expensive to talk with my family internationally for an extended time (they live in my childhood home in Miami) so I hung up still wondering if there had been an attack in Miami.
I didn't find out what actually happened for at least another several days -my aunt in suburban DC said via email that my cousin at NYU ran from falling debris but was safe although her coworker was on the plane that hit the Pentagon on a field trip with 3 kids and teachers and had planned the trip months in advance.
At that point I began to realize what had happened and walked out of the Cyber cafe with a 😮 look on my face after putting it all together.
All those planes were headed for California
@@Mcat78 right - same as my aunt's coworker on that plane, the field trip they had planned was to the Channel Islands in California.
Rip to all those innocent lives
Very sad and wil never forget
Hello dear 👋
25, 30, 35 years from now this moment will always be remembered and heartfelt. 😢 💧 🥲
1:15 that girl on the right has a amazing story watch children of 9/11 (2006) she helped her mother and little brother through everything after
😢i can't imagine what those people in the planes or stuck in the towers or what horrible things were going through their minds when the planes hit those buildings and they realized there was no way out.
Yes that was so sad ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Whatever your opinions are, loved ones were lost. My thoughts are always with the victims friends and families. Love from the UK ❤
I remember medics at that day were standing around with gurneys and wheelchairs, devastated because they had shown up with too much equipment, and there were too few survivors... Horrible day.
4:06:46 I’ll miss you uncle Richie😭
Sorry for your loss 😢
I’m so incredibly sorry!!
We will never forget !!!
Thank you
The people on flight 93 are champions
Watching the people who report the news worry about their children that day will forever haunt me. We were so united as a people - Black, White, Purple, etc., what has happened to us since then? We all need to tap back into the patriotism we felt that terrible day and come BACK together.
I know what you mean. Nowadays it seems like we're more divided than ever.
Gibt es die Doku auch auf deutsch.?
8:02 - - *We’re still America and we’re still UNITED AGAINST HATRED AND FEAR.*
I firmly believe there is a special place in hell for the scumbags that did this. To my American cousins I say
God bless America and God save the king. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Those terrorists thought they were getting 72 virgins in paradise for killing innocent people. But instead the demons came out and drug the terrorists to hell. Kinda like what happened in the movie Ghost. How do people think they will be rewarded by doing the worst thing to innocent people. They were probably like oh shit Osama lied to us.
Our leaders are anything BUT!
The only people who deserve any recognition are the ones who were there working and have suffered ever since.
NYC was united doing their job.
Not one person in government deserves any type of credit
my wife and I slept in that day her daughter called are you watching TV. We watch in horror that tragic day.
9/11 is and forever will be my brother’s birthday. This day we had hoped his daughter would’ve been born (she arrived 18 days later). The first thought of my own family went through my head was seeing the Pentagon on fire and I told my mom to call my aunt. My uncle and cousin both had meetings at the Pentagon…my uncle traveled a lot too to LA. To our relief, neither were at the Pentagon. My uncle was 45 minutes late to work and missed the meeting at the Pentagon. He lost 3 co-workers, one of who was never found. I have since met someone whose daughter was on Flignt 93. I know someone whose cousin was a first responder killed and I know a survivor from WTC2 who was on the 105 floor but saw the first plane hit and left. You can never forget this day.
God bless America
I was an electrician, until i lost my hand and half my leg on the 74th floor of Tower 1 ! Still got down those stairs in under 10mins!!
😡🤬".. Is that supposed to be funny mate?? YOU D@# MF..
I was at Augusta, Maine airport sitting on the taxi way ready to take off and the tower said for me to go back to the terminal and park the plane
I will never ever forget about 9/11 myself and it made me feel so sorry and bad for the people in NYC and also the firefighters and police officer that had already lost their own lives from the terrorists and horrible and disrespectful attack by Osama Bin Laden and the way that the twin towers and ground zero and pentagon got destroyed by the 2 planes heading straight to the building and crash instantly right inside it too !! 🙂☹️
🙏
I most definitely didn't forget about this i still shed into tears every time I watched what was happening!
TERRIBLE! Like, Absolutely Terrifying and Horrifying
I was 29 working 2 jobs. 8 years later I was enlisting in the Army then going to Afghanistan. Now September of 2021 is my fall of Saigon.
I was in New York on September 11Th 2021, I was actually getting out of Manhattan via the George Washington Bridge. Far out…….
God Bless America and everyone who perished that day. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Matatan_____(".🤔.")______Ribirin~HS,
We always remember that horrible days forever
My deepest condolences all the victims family.🙏.
52:54 is that security guard human ? Cause that guy doesnt blink one time now thats crazy
Happened all the way over there in new York but I was still terrified at the time in Australia
2:23:35 Melissa😭❤
Please if you can go to the 9/11 memorial. It’s a very solemn place in the midst of the hustle and bustle of NYC. A very fitting place of remembrance.
People bash New York for being "liberal", crime ridden, and dirty. In reality, New York is no more dirty or crime-ridden than any other big city. New York is the epitome of the United States. It's a melting pot of cultures and history. It's a city of strength.
Anybody who says otherwise isn't American.
Because Enrique Iglesias Singer Did Sing Hero In The Memory Of 9/11 Attacks 20 Years Ago.
1:45:24 - Peter Hanson, Sue-Kim Hanson and Christine Hanson - I remember the emotional talk of Peter's parents in the UAL 175 documentary. And I think Orio Palmer must be watching his niece from above to be sure. One of the biggest heroes of 9/11 there is.
Never to forget and Never to forgive. I was waiting for the Doctor to call me back. When it happened the Nurses and the two Doctors stopped and watched it with us.. I went home after the towers went down.
Unity is what will hold this country together!!! Such a sad time to realize that our country was left defenseless to
allow this to happen. Hopeful this will never happen again. Stay ready and you don't have to get ready. God Bless America Amen. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏
Twenty years later, I still havnt forgiven those who did this.
Yeah. The US government
I never will !
Everybody had way more than I did.

1:34:22 Someone knew her? Please let me know, comment, I remember saw some of her photos in a website that isn't available today
You know, I keep hearing that “102 minutes” thing but I just realized I don’t know what that’s referring to. Obviously the attacks and the fallout from them lasted much longer, so what exactly was that 102 minute time span? Why did it cut off after that long?
First crash-final collapse
God bless USA 🙏🏻
22 years ago, I was trying to watch cartoons. But all of a sudden, I saw something on TV, and it was the Twin Towers onto a big cloud of smoke.🤧😔😭
How old were you at the time?
