My best friend was a first responder and went down to the pile for weeks after 9/11. He died a few years ago at the age of 41. He was an amazing person. Andrew Moreno will be missed.
@edyann same here I was 23 and was a service writer for a car dealership, I was running late that morning and got to work and it was a ghost town everyone was in the customers lounge watching the TV. I walked in right as the 2nd plane hit. We were all sent home and the dealership closed for the rest of the day. It all seems like yesterday for me.
I got tears running down my face. I was 19 years old and was in the Army coming back from lunch when I found this out. I went to war after this and lost friends because of this
Thank you so much for your service, you will never know just how many of us respect and sincerely thank you. I'm genuinely so sorry for all you have suffered and for all those you've lost 😔❤
Its been almost 22 years. I've seen nearly every 9/11 video on UA-cam. I've been to the memorial museum. I still cannot conceive what the people there that day witnessed, went through, lost. Are still going through.
@@RUBBER_BULLET dude, I've tried. I've sought them out. My husband doesn't understand WHY I do it and to be honest, I guess I really don't either. I suppose I'm attempting to understand...which we all know I never fully will but I'm trying.
@@aircooledvw thank you. It's incredibly difficult to watch some of these videos. Most of them however are the same images over and over and over again, so you ALMOST know when to look away...almost. That day started a string of nightmares for me and I lived in the middle of the country at the time. I didn't know anyone there. If I was having nightmares, the people there must have been suffering the worst of them.
I thought it was just me. Friday and all day today I have been watching 9/11 videos. I don't know why it just seems that I am able to view the videos without really breaking down. And ta-da 60mins releases a new video today.
Man I love how supportive of each other they are, when the detective lady said about the man saying 'This is my son' about the pile of bones and the woman behind her and the guy to the side comforted her, it's nice to see
Was it true we trained some of the terrorist to fly the planes? True or not? 22 yrs later I wonder who have come across our borders with plans to try to destroy us. Well, to hear the NYC mayor is carrying on about the 7 million illegals that were invited here. Guess they are destroying us within. Wanting what they want and getting. Our Veterans displaced for them. Putting them in every available empty building there is. Our homeless live in the streets. Enough. Goodbye. Good luck to you all. God bless.
My friend River was at ground zero as a therapist to the 1st responders as they dug through the pile looking for survivors. She helped the men & women first responders from the beginning. She died 2yrs ago. Thank you to all the 1st responders. 🙏🙏🙏
I remember where I was exactly when this happened. And thank God for John Stewart, who has been fighting for the responders to get some healthcare. This country needs to support the first responders and the families! 😢
It's disgraceful that Jon Stewart & others have to fight the US government to support these first responders - it shouldn't never have been a question that their medical care would be paid for after their service.
I was in an airplane flying across country when the pilot came on the PA and said that there was a terrorist attack in New York and we were being forced to land in Omaha, Nebraska. None of us could figure out what a terrorist attack in NYC had to do with our flight across the Midwest, until we got into the airport terminal and saw the TV monitors. God bless the victims, their families and America.
I live in Omaha. I literally have always wondered what people in the air that day felt once they landed and heard the news. Thanks for your recollection.
@@BoStErO1905 are you sure you’re playing didn’t just have engine issues in addition to everything? That doesn’t sound like a very comforting way to not tell the people on the plane what’s going on because they don’t want to alarm them and they waited to tell them until they landed that buildings in New York or hit.

These folks will never shake that day. I went to my parents grave today and cleaned the plot up because my folks were there for me after volunteering at ground zero in my police career. I have so many memories of that day.
9/11 memorials mean so much to me. It happens to be my birthday, I was born as it was happening. The panic that my mom describes she felt and the whole hospital at the time is heart wrenching. It’s hard to even conceive the thought that as those people lost their lives, mines was just beginning. I pray for comfort to the families and friends of those who lost loved ones. For years I would spend my birthday just watching documentaries on 9/11 and they all still hit me differently. May all of their souls rest in peace🤍🙏🏾
I was 12 when it happened. I'm from Germany and it was already after school here (time delay) but even here and I bet in a lot of other countries people were shocked. I remember all the grown ups looked scared and in hind sight I see why. They looked at us kids knowing this is to much for us to understand but they all said the world will change now, what it did. You are a beacon of hope and at the same time they were scared of your future. Precious new generation. Oh, happy belated Birthday!! Celebrate, you are the light and love of that day. Thats what makes life worth living on for so many. I can remember the faces of my teachers looking at us, we gave them reason to become stronger in one of humanity's weakest moments.
@@NicGoldenEddie Wow, I never thought about how it effected other countries. Thank you for sharing your experience during that time. I can’t even imagine the thoughts that were happening with all of the people around the world during it. And thank you very much for your kind words💕and for wishing me a happy birthday 🩵 I hope you have a great day.
I was 15 at the time and in trouble at school, I was in an office with a TV when this happened with a couple other students and a few teachers. One teacher started screaming and ran out of the room thinking her husband may have been one the flights while another chased after her, the rest of us just stood there in shock for what seemed like forever. Seeing the second plane hit and people jumping, I'll never forget that sight.
I was 16. The week prior I injured my knee in a Friday night football game. I didn't go to school Monday but came back Tuesday on crutches. We were told to go back to home room class and by the time I'd actually gotten there the 2nd plane hit the other building. My teacher kept screaming "this is your guys Pearl Harbor!!!" This world has been upside down ever since. 🙏🏾
I was sick to my stomach once I saw the Pentagon was hit. My mother worked there. I was in my Residency at the hospital in Baltimore. My attending physicians told me to go home until I could reach my mom since I was useless due to worry. The cell towers were useless, so calls were not going through. It took my family 5 hours to reach my mother. She showed up at our family home in Virginia where my Dad was waiting. My heart goes out to the victims who lost their lives. I have colleagues who lost family members on Flight 77. RIP 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My parents pulled my sister and I out of middle school after the Pentagon got hit. My uncle used to work in the Pentagon and, similarly, we couldn't get a hold of him. Fortunately, he wasn't even in DC. I'm so glad your mother made it!
But you guys are heroes too. Some heroes who were in the buildings died, but that doesn't mean that you are not heroes too. Staying down there recovering bodies and putting families' minds to rest is heroic behavior. Thank you all for your service too. We appreciate you!
Was 10 years old when this happened and I’ll never forget it. Our school principal told all teachers to turn their tv’s on the news and that our country was being attacked. Obviously when everything was going on kids our age really didn’t understand fully the magnitude of it but when the first tower collapsed and my teacher screamed in horror, I knew immediately it wasn’t good. After both towers were down, our entire school system ordered all schools to dismiss early because the most important thing in that moment was being with our families. It was a day that has changed our world forever. A special thanks to all first responders for their heroic bravery, both ones that are alive to tell us about that day and the ones who perished. Never forget.
I was also 10 years old; born and raised in Rochester. At 8:45am, I was getting ready for school. At 9:03am, I was heading to my classroom. Between 8:45am and 5:15pm, I didn’t know what had transpired, although I do recall my teacher being a little quieter than usual, until my parents came home, told me what happened and then turned on the news. We were glued to the TV watching the news until maybe 9pm after Bush’s Address to the Nation.
Same. i was 12 in the 8th grade, in my english class, and our principal at Milkovich Middle school in cleveland, oh, came on the PA system telling all teachers to cut on TV's. About an hour and a half after, most parents we're leaving work and picking up the kids. My mom hurried and picked me up. A sad day i will never forget.
@@TheServantOfJesusChrist well I still hope you were able to learn about that tragic day while you were in school because, although a sad day in history, it’s important to learn about because it’s a huge part of why our world is the way it is today.
It’s a day I’ll never forget as long as I live. Every year that passes by and we see more videos of it posted and the news talking about it, it just brings back all the memories of that day.
Thank you all for your services. I was born in New York and grew up until I was 10 there. My family still lives there. I remember flying in for the first time not seeing the towers and feeling empty.💔We will never forget. Ever.
It has been 22 years ago today. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was there 12 hours after the towers fell working at ground zero. This year I posted a video with new pictures never released. My those who ran in while others ran away never be forgotten. Jerry R Lucas RN, Disabled Veteran, 9-11 First responder.
I’m part of the 9-11 medical study through Stony Brook University. I was five blocks away on that morning. The worst is the sound of bodies splattering on the sidewalks, vehicles, street lamps, balconies. In addition to the mental trauma, I now have asthma and frequent chest infections. I’ve never gone to the museum or the new World Trade Center, and I never will visit the places.
I hope you get to feel better … it doesn’t matter if you don’t feel up to going to the museum or new WTC … people should do only what they are comfortable doing … my sister doesn’t like going to the place where our younger brother chose to end his life, nor does she feel comfortable going to the cemetery where he’s buried … I’ve always told her it doesn’t matter … you don’t have to go if it makes you feel bad. I, on the other hand get comfort out of going … but that’s me, and we’re not all the same ❤
At that time I was already a soldier in the German army. It was a beautiful sunny day for us too. The first burning WTC tower was shown on the TV news. The moment the second plane hit the second tower everything was clear to us. We were all put on alert and began to pack our things. It was clear that the USA was being attacked and that this was an attack on a NATO member country. We didn't know what would happen next. Our first troops were in Afghanistan from January 2002 and I was in 2003. I hope that one day I can afford to visit the WTC Memorial and pay my respects. God bless all the victims and families of 9/11 and the fallen brothers in arms in the wars afterwards.
I commend 60 Minutes for showing this thoughtful 9/11 remembrance of the victims and their families. I will never forget where I was when these tragic events occurred. At the time, I was working for a medical laboratory in Seattle, and I can remember hearing all of the events unfolding in real time on the radio. There was no TV to watch what happened in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania near Camp David after the planes collided. Cell phones at the time could not play videos. As soon as my shift at work was over, I rushed home to watch the news on TV to see the instant replay of everything and the aftermath. The most difficult thing to watch was when both towers collapsed almost an hour apart. All I could think of was the people left behind inside them. I could not fathom that everyone was dead, including firefighters and police. My heart breaks every year on this terrible, horrible anniversary. May everyone Rest in Peace, and my deepest condolences to friends and family who lost loved ones.
my father was in an airplane flying into Dallas when the towers were hit. He was to connect there to Orlando but ended up getting a rental car and driving back home the rest of the trip rather than flying since they grounded all flights. My mother was beside herself with worry, needless to say, and begged me to leave my office in Indianapolis as she didn’t know what would/could happen next. 9/11 changed all of us….we’ll never be the same again. My prayers for the victims, their families, and for our country.
Even after all these years,I’m still shocked and heartbroken for all those loved ones that were taken away…… a memory yes,but a pain that still lingers today.
@@jenniferfields1084 any sight of the towers in a movie, show, or whatever, just makes me sad. Its a feeling I've tried explaining to my siblings who were too young to remember or weren't born yet, they understand, but don't fully get it.
Can you imagine how the millions and millions of people the us military has murdererd overseas and their loved ones feel? How is it that you can dish out so much death around the world without wincing,, and cry so much over this? Its disgusting .
You have to respect those who came forward and spoke about the tramatic events they experienced first hand. It does help to talk with others and it helps those that listen.
I was just a kid (just short of my 12th birthday) when 9/11 went down. I'll never forget that sheer look of panic and anxiety on my dad's face when he took me out of school early that day. Even more than two decades later by now, I'll never forget the sheer horror, panic, and anger we felt as a nation during those days.
I was only 3 years old, on my family's ranch in rural Montana. Only time I ever saw Dad cry. Mom took us into the storm shelter to protect from bombs. Heard they were targeting farms next, I was sure they were going to hit us hard. I'll never forget the pungent odor of thermite in the air that morning... Never forget. 😢
My heart goes out to all that lost so many loved ones, and continued to experience the ramifications, a Domino Effect of Disaster. It continues after it's "over". And well done, Doctor.....
Watch it every year since it first aired. To think of those Firemen and women who went to work knowing they might not see their family again. Such a sacrifice should never be forgotten.
I, like countless others, am not from NYC and have never even stepped foot into NYC. But I, like countless others, stood hand in hand with the rest of the world in NYC that day. Our hearts, our minds, our souls uniting together as one during a time when time seemingly stood still. We were, and in many ways will always be, there with those people in NYC who lost their lives, with those in NYC who risked their lives, and with those in NYC who saved lives. We thank those who did so much to help, to save, and to protect- the heroes of New York City- the firefighters, police officers, emergency workers, and the people who selflessly helped those who needed it most.
Tragic 😞 as a brit and a 8 year old at school, our teachers brought us into hall to watch this on a CRT television. A day I’ll never forget. RIP to all that lost their lives and my thoughts will always be with victims and their loved ones.
I worked with a girl that ran, and ran, and ran down the street when the first tower fell she was overcome by smoke and jumped in a parked car. She’s never been the same.
One of the things i struggle with is the decision that some of the people had to make that day either jump knowing you will die or stay and burn up and recieve a painful death i can only imagine the hell those people went through before they jumped i seen some holding hands and jumping together they didnt want to be alone in their final seconds of life the heat must have been off the charts i cry for these people
I suppose many of them were accidentally pushed to their death from other people due to fear/panic. If you have to jump from the building, you'll be scared, but you'll die instantly, so it's really preferable if you have to die. Some of them probably went into shock and weren't even conscious when they fell. If you put your hand on a very hot stove your body just immediately reacts and moves away. If you are trapped in the burning building the heat will rapidly burn you alive until the tower collapses and mercifully crushes you to nothing after up to 2 minutes. That's up to 2 minutes of pitch black agony and terror, so that's pretty brutal.
I sometimes have nightmares of being in a skyscraper and the building collapses. I think the terror of witnessing this terrorist attack at a young age has impacted us all in some way.
I remember this day like it was yesterday. I was 27 weeks pregnant at work when a client mentioned the event. I remained glued to the TV all day and night, watching the events unfold. Americans really came together after this event.
I teared up when they talked about the family members talking about their deceased loved ones. Especially the the flight attendant 's final message to her husband. That stung real bad...
I went to visit ground zero last year with my kids. It was my very first time there since 9/11. I couldnt stop crying. So sad. So awful. Forever in our hearts. 💔😥

@@johnp139medical examiners don't bring people back to life anyway, this event and her memory of that interaction isn't a joke. you sound like a child.
I can’t imagine the pain these people have endured all I can say is I pray to god to give you the strength to deal with grief and mental health trauma. Please god help them to find peace some how 🙏🏻 my deepest condolences to all the families x UK 🇬🇧
Remember all those who ran into the Towers, and went up the stairs. Remember those who slowed their own escape to help others get out. Remember everyone who headed to NYC and Ground Zero to help. Remember the passengers and crews on those planes. Remember those who perished at the Pentagon.
@karenharris722 I know. I'm just saying , if people you say it too don't seem 'grateful' for it, I want people to understand. We aren't mean. We just don't want to hear that either because it's still so painful. We don't want people to take offense.
I was in the office, in Los Angeles and when this was all happening people were having panic attacks that terrorists would be sending planes into our building. That's how little was known at the time, that people on the other end of the country were wondering if our building was next. I visited the pools when they became open to the public. I visited One World Trade just before it completed. The heaviness was still palpable.
I am not a American or in New York at the time of this event but boy the pain and sadness i felt for all you guys was and still is something that will live with me forever. So many heros so few survivors.
If you get a chance, watch PBS Frontline The Man Who Knew. This could have and should have been prevented. Just watched it last night and never knew about John O’Neill. He tried to tell them and no one listened to him. He was the hero we needed. Thanks, FBI for nothing. RIP to all the victims of this senseless act.
I’m gonna piggyback of your comment and recommend the audiobook of Lawrence Wright’s book “The Looming Tower”. It goes into the origins of AlQueda and it also talks about John O’Neill
European here: days before, I had just turned 20 years. I came home early from Leiden University that day, around 3 PM Central European Time. Turned on the TV and saw UA175 fly into the south tower. Complete disbelief. I remember phoning my mother and she seriously thought I was either intoxicated or pulling a sick prank. It wasn't until she arrived home and saw the images that she figured I had been serious. It is remarkable that, even though it was the US east coast being hit, we in Europe also felt it as an attack on our 'western' way of life. It has greatly influenced our political scene and let's not forget it also started the stereotyping, the prejudice and bias against many people of muslim faith. Not only in the USA, but worldwide. This dramatic event determined the course of the world for at least two decades and ended more or less with the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Immediately after that a rude awakening with Russia invading Ukraine. Those are the two pivotal tragic world events of the 21st century thusfar.
Thank you for continuing to post every anniversary. Every year I go back through old and new footage and documentaries as tribute. On UA-cam I have a saved Playlist of all video I have found.
I asked my 9 year old son today does he know about 9/11. He said no. So I told him about what happened. He was very to hear how many people died. Seems like they are not telling the kids about this in school ? I think we don’t remember 9/11 enough. It changed America. We should never forget. ❤️
I work in several schools. We teach students all about it and hold school wide assemblies in rememberance each year on 9/11. My 8th grade daughter just finished a 4 week unit where she was required to interview adults about their experiences on that day. Schools are teaching about this.
I will forever remember where I was when I heard the news. After, our whole staff was glued to the tv, heartbroken and shocked that this could be happening to us, the most powerful country in the world. Every time I see a video or story about 9/11, I break down in tears remembering how I felt on that day. I lost no friends or family in that attack, but I lost my fellow man and I mourn for them and the families they left behind
I think, how did the fbi let this happen? Al Quada declared war on us in the early 1990s, but our federal government was too incompetent to protect us.
That day we were all family. Nobody cared about political parties, religion, what color you were, where you lived. We were all just Americans. Actually, we were all just humans. So in a sense, we all lost every single person that died that day. You cared so much because you are obviously a good person. The world needs more people like you.
I was 10 years old when the Towers were hit. I live in Greece and it was all over the news, we were literally watching people die and fall from the 100th floor. The whole world stood still that day. I couldn't fully grasp what was going on, but I felt horror and that nobody was safe in this world. What a tragedy, what hatred people have for each other, no matter what and who was the mastermind behind it, it is probably the worst display of inhuman, primitive, vulgar behaviour towards one another. I'll never forget that day.
You won't forget Of course not! That hatred is what is going on Right Now! In Our Country amongst us!! Who gets the crown for this hatred ? So much hatred that people who think they are on the right and others are what? On the left ?!?! Even to the point they want a Civil war
I lived in northeast of Brazil at the time and I moved to Texas in 2002 . I am dead sure I was blessed to live in America and mourn the losses of those folks from afar . New York is and will always be a strong city , strong lads and gals . They will never be forgotten. It’s a chapter in our lives . Terrorists are evil but the good ones thrives . God bless America .
I was two at the time, one of my first memories as a child is looking back and seeing the two towers on fire. I drew it in a picture that I still have till this day. RIP to all the victims, and love you all! ❤
I'll never forget that morning. I was in the 11th grade in chemistry class, and I still remember seeing the second plane hit right after they had turned the tv on
As most Americans I remember this like it was yesterday . I live on the opposite side of the country from New York and when this happened it felt to me like it was happening in my back yard . I have the upmost respect for the first responders that gave their lives to help the people trapped in those towers . It makes me incredibly sad and oddly I'm filled with pride knowing that there are people out there that will give their lives to help those in need . I don't know what I would of done if I were in that situation . I'd love to say that I would without a second thought enter those buildings to help, but I don't know ... I guess you don't know until you're faced with that tragic situation . The spouses of the people who lost their lives should also be very proud . I've watched a few survivor videos and I see mostly sorrow and confusion . I feel for them .
It was an attack on all of us Americans. Im in Utah and worked at a hotel. Everything was booked I called into Wyoming and Idaho looking for rooms for people and nothing was available. I wasn't too far from SLC airport and people were walking in hopeless not able to rent a car and I had no rooms for anyone. It was a terrible tragedy. My parents both worked at Hill Air Force Base I was so worried that it could be hit as well their phone lines were busy. I didn't get in touch with them until they got home. I'll never forget RIP to all the men and women that lost their lives that day
@@Jamie-rr5me I totally see your point . I was just trying to say that the firemen,cops and civilians that risked and lost their lives were incredible people . I was and still am mad as hell ! you're absolutely right , it was an attack on all of us .
I was only 3 years old, on my family's ranch in rural Montana. Only time I ever saw Dad cry. Mom took us into the storm shelter to protect from bombs. Heard they were targeting farms next, I was sure they were going to hit us hard. I'll never forget the pungent odor of thermite in the air that morning... Never forget. 😢
There's a story from one paramedic that said one of the jumper or "faller" was actually still alive after hitting the ground! But only for a few brief moments. The guy was tagging people that were assumed dead. And he went to tag that woman and she said "hunny I'm still alive!" Please call my daughter" he knew obviously she was dying or going to die any minute. He didn't quite know what to do. So he lied to her and said.. it's ok. You're going to be ok. "they're coming" Even though her bottom half was all disfigured, her head never hit the ground.😢 My God, this day really upsets me more than any. It wasn't fair to them people... or any human on Earth. It's still hard to comprehend and swallow what all happened that day.
I saw his interview and he mentioned this poor woman was either ejected from the building or on one of the airplanes that hit the tower…he added she must of impacted the ground in a standing position to be that badly disfigured, to still be barely alive from the torso up is unfathomable.
I was working for Jewson timber yard in Perth, Scotland when the first plane hit came over the radio. Never forget. R.I.P all those poor souls lost. Love from Scotland 💔
I still cry today when I watch this untold tragedy. I'm sorry. It did not happen again. May God help all those who lost their loved ones and suffered in any way 11. September. ❤ from 🇭🇷
My son's mother was 4 months pregnant on 9/11. Up until this year, my son didn't really know anything about it.😢 Its really sad to know that people can go through life without knowing the important things. Now, he is really interested in history and science.❤
May all the victims of September 11, 2001 rest in peace. You will never be forgotten. God bless you all, and God bless the heroes who risk their lives to pull people out of the rubble of the The World Trade Center, The Pentagon And their heroic attempt to rescue people on board united flight 93. Unfortunately, as we all know, no one survive that crash.
Being on the other side of the world we sat by television in the students lounge in between the classes we had to. We couldn't be further away New Zealand but please believe me, we were watching, you could tell by taking a moment and watch the people, my fellow students that they were watching us. We cared. When we saw people fall from the tower, I had to take some air. Those deaths would have been instant but I cried because their fall below, they were on their own. I'm so sorry and I'm angry for the American citizens that their own president was looking for a way to cash in on their country's trauma. Bush and his cronies need to answer for the misery that they have caused. So many New Zealanders died for Bush. I lived next to the government buildings in New Zealand and heard everytime they shot those rifles after another serviceman or servicewomen funeral service. It made me stop for a second when I saw my nation's flag flying at full staff not half mast. This isn’t about comparing, there is no comparison and nor should we. I'm saying the President had tunnel vision for vengeance but their vision took so many more innocent people needlessly I don't know who was untouched. I may only be able to share my thoughts but we're one day away from the eleventh now, a day where many nations were moved. New York, on that day you showed us the best of ourselves, our humanity. Because on that day, I saw yours. Xx
As an American I appreciate your compassion for the people. But your anger at Bush is very misguided. Our anger is with those "peace loving Muslims" that did it. If you are not a Muslim, Muslims don't want you to exist. Fact.
Thank you for the poignant and kind words and thoughts from New Zealand. Here in the States, it became the opportunity of a lifetime for the fearmongers and warmongers to go to war for almost two decades. We are still paying for it in 2023 and will be paying for the generations to come as the economy is in tatters.😢

Uruguay here. All tv stations broke live to broadcast the event live, and through de entire day. No one talk about other thing for that day and future weeks. Trully unforgetable day.
29:13 - I think all those designs and plans were not what those who died in 9/11 wanted. 41:56 They wanted something that people around the world will forever remember who they were and what happened to them that day. Even for the rest of the generation to come. Tomorrow is the 22nd anniversary of the horrific event at World Trade Center. I pray that those who were left alive and survived, the family who were left behind, and to those who finished the job to clean up the area and re-construct it will find peace in their hearts. Someone said, there are still a lot of people dying after the 9/11 incident because of their physical, mental and emotional health. We have to keep praying for those who are surviving after more than 2 decades. They still need help. May God bless this people.
I remember when the towers collapsed it was the loudest silence I ever heard. 😢😢😢 We will NEVER FORGET 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God Bless the lost and their loved ones ❤❤❤❤
I was in the other part of the world, the Philippines, eating my dinner while watching on TV. There was a breaking news from CNN about the 1st plane crash. I thought it was an accident first. Then the 2nd plane crash happened, and I was shocked and told my father that US being attacked. It gives me sadness everytime I remember it. It will never be forgotten. God Bless the USA.
22 years ago, I was 6 years old. I hate seeing good people have to die. New York was beautiful. Not anymore. Its gone. They're gone. All their friends and families. They may be dead... they're souls will never die. They will be reborn.
It’s crazy 22 years ago I was 6 years old in first grade. I still remember the chaos this day even being all the way in Michigan, I didn’t understand what was going on. The school shut down we sat in the dark for hours waiting for our parents to pick us up. My mom couldn’t get a ride from work, she didn’t have a cell phone back then. My latchkey teacher took me and my sister home, it took until 9pm for my mom to get home and get the call from my teacher she had us. Still one of the craziest days of my life.
I am also from Michigan metro Detroit area I worked with a lot of Arab guys an American people of course you know what I mean, I remember they were just arguing, and the Americans were yelling at the Arabs saying look what you did to our country, but our arguments and confusion it was wild that day
@@marquisgt I was 6 years old do you think they told me? I would assume as a 28 year old they treated it like a lockdown, but again I was 6 years old so that’s not really a conversation they were having with 1st graders.
The egos need to stop and remember all the people who died that day! They need to get the buildings done for all the survivors and families of the deceased 😢😢❤️
I was on leave at Disney World Orlando Florida with the wife and kids, Disney all of a sudden closed the entire park down and made evryone leave, no one really knew why untill driving back to the hotel heard it all over the radio when got to the hotel it was the only thing showing on every TV channel. Crazy times. Less than10 days later I was deployed. May 2, 2011 we finally got the Master mind of it, perserverance and persistance! 🇺🇸✌🏻✌🏻Whats shameful is still today our VETs and first Responders are negelected with more of our tax dollars being sent to other countries, how many billions have we gave to Ukraine? Even our illegal immigrants get better treatment than our own citizens do, shameful!!
I was 14 years old when this happen. My first year of high school had just got started and I'll never forget the silence that came over the whole school that day as we watched it unfold on TV. Since then, I've seen and been apart of natural disasters unfortunately and seeing it first hand has so much more weight. With that said, no video or picture could possibly encapsulate what these people witnessed. I couldn't imagine living with the weight of their experience.
That interactive memorial is so dope, I know it’s sensitive but I’m glad the families rallied behind the supervisor that wanted to include jumpers & ppl falling in the gallery exhibit, cus it is part of the real story & they didn’t wanna white wash or soften any of the real terror that happened that day & the choice some victims were forced to make. The families & the whole board voted it should be showed & calls should be heard but with advisory warning before hand. Rip
It was a terrible day.. Back then I was 32 years old. I couldn't sleep for couple weeks in a row after this horrible day. We will never forget🇺🇸🇩🇪♥️ George from Berlin Germany
I was 6 when 9/11 happened. I'm also from England but when I see UA-cam videos of the planes hitting the towers, the falling people, the collapses, the last voicemails to loved ones, the pentagon hit, all of it... I can't help but imagine what I'd have reacted like if I was stood in the tower watching a plane come towards me or watching the twin tower collapse, or just an onlooker watching a 2nd plane approach. I think I'd just stare, frozen, speechless as if I'm gonna wake up safe in my bed and it was just a nightmare. Rest easy to all those lost on that awful day.
I was 19 and living in massachusetts in 2001. I woke up about 9 with the tv on and I usually never leave the tv on ,I saw the first plane crash thinking it was just a plane crash .then watching what happened with the south tower and the pentagon is still to do this day shocking like it just happened yesterday.
I'm from Ca.and we were up very early bc i was having back surgery that day, My husband was watching tv and i asked him what movie he was watching? He said it's the news and all of a sudden the 2nd plane hit! So while I was in the prep room with others, my husband would go the Dr's lounge watch updates and came in and let us know what's happening. So since I was out of it for days. i really lost a lot of what happened until UA-cam came out. God bless those lives that had been lost ❤ and their family and friends 🙏🕊️
Made it out of the 37th floor Tower 2. Oppenheimer Funds I was working for at the time, I remember going to work 10 minutes early to eat breakfast at my desk then me and my coworkers heard that violent loud crash boom sound that shook the building. We ran to the window and looked up to see Tower 1 gaping hole with massive amount of paper and flames -- we evacuated quickly even ignoring the the building dispatch saying for us to “stay in our seats, until full investigation of Tower 1” We evacuated down the stairs, as more people from different floors joined and made it to the ground level. In the lobby I saw massive amount of debris and heard loud popping sounds, realizing after that was people jumping to their deaths. The Firefighters who were in the lobby directed us to take a different exit and me being curious to what’s happening I ran towards a different way… I am now in the lobby of the shopping area running around frantic, ran towards another exit in which another chaotic moment happened ( the second plane has just hit the building I am in -tower 2 ) and the exit I am proceeding to go thru, people are running back from the exit towards me because of the plane debris crashing down the side of the building. I am now running back towards the same lobby area looking for a way out and ran thru Barnes and Nobles bookstore exit and finally stopped to take a breather realizing I am out the building. As I looked up, I see two gaping holes filled with flames and smoke in both towers not knowing anything about planes hitting them. I seen one of my coworkers and I ask him do you think we have work tomorrow 🤷🏽♂️ bc I JUST GOT THIS JOB three months prior. I am now on Church St and Fulton walking and as I turned around to look up again to see the Tower 2 coming down, I ran from there straight up Fulton as the cloud of debris chased me. I stopped by the seaport, walked over the crowded Brooklyn bridge and saw Tower 1 coming down. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 PRAYERS TO EVERYONE AFFECTED BY THIS TRAGEDY AND CONDOLENCES TO ALL FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST A LOVE ONE DUE TO THIS TRAGIC EVENT.
My best friend was a first responder and went down to the pile for weeks after 9/11. He died a few years ago at the age of 41. He was an amazing person. Andrew Moreno will be missed.
I am so sorry for your loss. This was a horrible tragedy, your friend was a hero.
Rest in peace Andrew 🙏❤️
Did he pass due to inhalation of the debris?
I'm so very sorry for your loss. They all fought so hard for everyone!!
I'm so so sorry for your loss
Our country should be ashamed that we don’t give these patriots the 1st class healthcare they deserve and not pay a god damn cent for it.
Amen
That’s communism
Exactly right! It's a disgrace.
Agreed 100%.
The Government continues ignoring what has caused this tragedy. Reflecting on all that has happened during this past 22 years is beyond words…
The fact that there are now college students who weren’t even alive on 9/11 boggles my mind. It feels like yesterday
You read my mind. I was in my early twenties when this happened. Time flies, my goodness!
Feels like 22 years ago to me.
@@NinjaDildoShow good for you,@ NinjaDildoSt, it seems like, to me, you couldn't have possibly been born
Means you’re getting old!
@edyann same here I was 23 and was a service writer for a car dealership, I was running late that morning and got to work and it was a ghost town everyone was in the customers lounge watching the TV. I walked in right as the 2nd plane hit. We were all sent home and the dealership closed for the rest of the day. It all seems like yesterday for me.
I got tears running down my face. I was 19 years old and was in the Army coming back from lunch when I found this out. I went to war after this and lost friends because of this
Thank you for your service, and so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for your service, you will never know just how many of us respect and sincerely thank you.
I'm genuinely so sorry for all you have suffered and for all those you've lost 😔❤
🙏❤️🤍💙
Ya I can’t believe our own government would do something to our country.
@@dennismisovski9932 you can't believe that? Um, Ruby Ridge. Waco. The Tuskegee experiments. The bombing of Philadelphia.. to name a few.
Its been almost 22 years.
I've seen nearly every 9/11 video on UA-cam.
I've been to the memorial museum.
I still cannot conceive what the people there that day witnessed, went through, lost.
Are still going through.
Have you seen all the videos that the algorithm has buried?
@@RUBBER_BULLET dude, I've tried. I've sought them out. My husband doesn't understand WHY I do it and to be honest, I guess I really don't either. I suppose I'm attempting to understand...which we all know I never fully will but I'm trying.
Best of luck to you on your quest
@@aircooledvw thank you. It's incredibly difficult to watch some of these videos. Most of them however are the same images over and over and over again, so you ALMOST know when to look away...almost. That day started a string of nightmares for me and I lived in the middle of the country at the time. I didn't know anyone there. If I was having nightmares, the people there must have been suffering the worst of them.
I thought it was just me. Friday and all day today I have been watching 9/11 videos. I don't know why it just seems that I am able to view the videos without really breaking down. And ta-da 60mins releases a new video today.
Man I love how supportive of each other they are, when the detective lady said about the man saying 'This is my son' about the pile of bones and the woman behind her and the guy to the side comforted her, it's nice to see
I remember being on the phone for six hours, trying to hear from my family. We lost friends. Thanks you,to all the NYPD, NYFD, and first responders.
Only they made things worse by restricting the evacuation of the towers!
@fentanylfloyd4027 Maybe lay off the fentanyl, Floyd.
@fentanylfloyd4027Tell us more context, you probably did something stupid.
@fentanylfloyd4027 you deserved it
Was it true we trained some of the terrorist to fly the planes? True or not?
22 yrs later I wonder who have come across our borders with plans to try to destroy us. Well, to hear the NYC mayor is carrying on about the 7 million illegals that were invited here. Guess they are destroying us within. Wanting what they want and getting. Our Veterans displaced for them. Putting them in every available empty building there is. Our homeless live in the streets. Enough. Goodbye. Good luck to you all. God bless.
My friend River was at ground zero as a therapist to the 1st responders as they dug through the pile looking for survivors. She helped the men & women first responders from the beginning. She died 2yrs ago.
Thank you to all the 1st responders. 🙏🙏🙏
What did she do, pat them on the back while they dug? WHY DIDN'T SHE HELP THEM DIG?
Amen 🙏
@@NKdidit.24 Ah.. I don't think she was qualified to . She was a therapist to the first responders. Calm down .
@@annasassin2470 and exactly what qualifications do you need to dig?
My dad was also at ground zero as a therapist 💗 I'm sorry for your loss
I remember where I was exactly when this happened. And thank God for John Stewart, who has been fighting for the responders to get some healthcare. This country needs to support the first responders and the families! 😢
John Stewart!
Jon Stewart.
Jon Stewart is a hero to wounded 9/11 first responders and injured veterans. He deserves the medal of freedom.
It's disgraceful that Jon Stewart & others have to fight the US government to support these first responders - it shouldn't never have been a question that their medical care would be paid for after their service.
He's constantly having to fight the republicans for health care. It's despicable.
I was in an airplane flying across country when the pilot came on the PA and said that there was a terrorist attack in New York and we were being forced to land in Omaha, Nebraska. None of us could figure out what a terrorist attack in NYC had to do with our flight across the Midwest, until we got into the airport terminal and saw the TV monitors. God bless the victims, their families and America.
I live in Omaha. I literally have always wondered what people in the air that day felt once they landed and heard the news. Thanks for your recollection.
We were told engine issues 30 min after we left Chicago.
@@BoStErO1905 are you sure you’re playing didn’t just have engine issues in addition to everything? That doesn’t sound like a very comforting way to not tell the people on the plane what’s going on because they don’t want to alarm them and they waited to tell them until they landed that buildings in New York or hit.

Sorry, dictation is not my forte apparently .
These folks will never shake that day. I went to my parents grave today and cleaned the plot up because my folks were there for me after volunteering at ground zero in my police career. I have so many memories of that day.
God bless your service to our country, as well as your parents. My condolences for your loss. ❤
9/11 memorials mean so much to me. It happens to be my birthday, I was born as it was happening. The panic that my mom describes she felt and the whole hospital at the time is heart wrenching. It’s hard to even conceive the thought that as those people lost their lives, mines was just beginning. I pray for comfort to the families and friends of those who lost loved ones. For years I would spend my birthday just watching documentaries on 9/11 and they all still hit me differently. May all of their souls rest in peace🤍🙏🏾
I was 12 when it happened. I'm from Germany and it was already after school here (time delay) but even here and I bet in a lot of other countries people were shocked.
I remember all the grown ups looked scared and in hind sight I see why.
They looked at us kids knowing this is to much for us to understand but they all said the world will change now, what it did.
You are a beacon of hope and at the same time they were scared of your future.
Precious new generation.
Oh, happy belated Birthday!!
Celebrate, you are the light and love of that day.
Thats what makes life worth living on for so many.
I can remember the faces of my teachers looking at us, we gave them reason to become stronger in one of humanity's weakest moments.
Congratulations on your 22th birthday...
@@NicGoldenEddie Wow, I never thought about how it effected other countries. Thank you for sharing your experience during that time. I can’t even imagine the thoughts that were happening with all of the people around the world during it. And thank you very much for your kind words💕and for wishing me a happy birthday 🩵 I hope you have a great day.
@@axeldewater9491 Thank you🩵
It was a demolition.
The jumpers absolutely BROKE my heart . Every time I see it it is unbearable 😢
We NEED to support these people! It’s terrible that we can’t be there for the people who are always there for us!
I was 15 at the time and in trouble at school, I was in an office with a TV when this happened with a couple other students and a few teachers. One teacher started screaming and ran out of the room thinking her husband may have been one the flights while another chased after her, the rest of us just stood there in shock for what seemed like forever. Seeing the second plane hit and people jumping, I'll never forget that sight.
I was also 15 in class watching tv with my classmates before school was let out an hour later 😢💔 never forget
I was 16. The week prior I injured my knee in a Friday night football game. I didn't go to school Monday but came back Tuesday on crutches. We were told to go back to home room class and by the time I'd actually gotten there the 2nd plane hit the other building. My teacher kept screaming "this is your guys Pearl Harbor!!!" This world has been upside down ever since. 🙏🏾
What were you in trouble for??🤔
@@SPEliteTVWell, was it your right or left knee???
Sorry to ask but was that teacher’s husband ok? Was he involved?
I was sick to my stomach once I saw the Pentagon was hit. My mother worked there. I was in my Residency at the hospital in Baltimore. My attending physicians told me to go home until I could reach my mom since I was useless due to worry. The cell towers were useless, so calls were not going through. It took my family 5 hours to reach my mother. She showed up at our family home in Virginia where my Dad was waiting. My heart goes out to the victims who lost their lives. I have colleagues who lost family members on Flight 77. RIP 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My parents pulled my sister and I out of middle school after the Pentagon got hit. My uncle used to work in the Pentagon and, similarly, we couldn't get a hold of him. Fortunately, he wasn't even in DC. I'm so glad your mother made it!
@@phil9005 Thank goodness your uncle wasn't there. What a horrible time. It seems it was just yesterday. Never forget 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@Olubumni Never forget indeed. Condolences to all the victims, and to the 19 hijackers, you deserve to rot in hell.
So glad your mother made it , love and cherish her daily. So many others that cant
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
But you guys are heroes too. Some heroes who were in the buildings died, but that doesn't mean that you are not heroes too. Staying down there recovering bodies and putting families' minds to rest is heroic behavior. Thank you all for your service too. We appreciate you!
Was 10 years old when this happened and I’ll never forget it. Our school principal told all teachers to turn their tv’s on the news and that our country was being attacked. Obviously when everything was going on kids our age really didn’t understand fully the magnitude of it but when the first tower collapsed and my teacher screamed in horror, I knew immediately it wasn’t good. After both towers were down, our entire school system ordered all schools to dismiss early because the most important thing in that moment was being with our families. It was a day that has changed our world forever. A special thanks to all first responders for their heroic bravery, both ones that are alive to tell us about that day and the ones who perished. Never forget.
I was born a year after 911
I was also 10 years old; born and raised in Rochester. At 8:45am, I was getting ready for school. At 9:03am, I was heading to my classroom. Between 8:45am and 5:15pm, I didn’t know what had transpired, although I do recall my teacher being a little quieter than usual, until my parents came home, told me what happened and then turned on the news. We were glued to the TV watching the news until maybe 9pm after Bush’s Address to the Nation.
Same. i was 12 in the 8th grade, in my english class, and our principal at Milkovich Middle school in cleveland, oh, came on the PA system telling all teachers to cut on TV's. About an hour and a half after, most parents we're leaving work and picking up the kids. My mom hurried and picked me up. A sad day i will never forget.
@@TheServantOfJesusChrist well I still hope you were able to learn about that tragic day while you were in school because, although a sad day in history, it’s important to learn about because it’s a huge part of why our world is the way it is today.
It’s a day I’ll never forget as long as I live. Every year that passes by and we see more videos of it posted and the news talking about it, it just brings back all the memories of that day.
RIP Arturo of Arturo's Restaurant on the corner of Houston & Thompson Street. He died of respiratory complications after 9-11. ❤🌹💧
Many many gave died from inhaling that dust from thr colllapse
@@celticwarrior777 Many died from the dust in the air. Yes.
Thank you all for your services. I was born in New York and grew up until I was 10 there. My family still lives there. I remember flying in for the first time not seeing the towers and feeling empty.💔We will never forget. Ever.
It has been 22 years ago today. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was there 12 hours after the towers fell working at ground zero. This year I posted a video with new pictures never released. My those who ran in while others ran away never be forgotten.
Jerry R Lucas RN, Disabled Veteran, 9-11 First responder.
Incredibly sad but beautiful project. Thank you for doing this. We should all know these people, their stories and their sacrifices.
I’m part of the 9-11 medical study through Stony Brook University. I was five blocks away on that morning. The worst is the sound of bodies splattering on the sidewalks, vehicles, street lamps, balconies. In addition to the mental trauma, I now have asthma and frequent chest infections. I’ve never gone to the museum or the new World Trade Center, and I never will visit the places.
I'm so very sorry for what you're going through! I can't even imagine what it was like!
I am so sorry you are going through this
The splattering of people's bodies have got to be the most terrifying sight to witness. Sorry you experienced that 😢
I hope you get to feel better … it doesn’t matter if you don’t feel up to going to the museum or new WTC … people should do only what they are comfortable doing … my sister doesn’t like going to the place where our younger brother chose to end his life, nor does she feel comfortable going to the cemetery where he’s buried … I’ve always told her it doesn’t matter … you don’t have to go if it makes you feel bad. I, on the other hand get comfort out of going … but that’s me, and we’re not all the same ❤
At that time I was already a soldier in the German army. It was a beautiful sunny day for us too. The first burning WTC tower was shown on the TV news. The moment the second plane hit the second tower everything was clear to us. We were all put on alert and began to pack our things. It was clear that the USA was being attacked and that this was an attack on a NATO member country. We didn't know what would happen next. Our first troops were in Afghanistan from January 2002 and I was in 2003. I hope that one day I can afford to visit the WTC Memorial and pay my respects. God bless all the victims and families of 9/11 and the fallen brothers in arms in the wars afterwards.
God bless you we will never forget!
As an American thank you for your service beside the USA.
Thank you for your service!
Thank you for the kind comment from a New Yorker
Thank you for your service!
I commend 60 Minutes for showing this thoughtful 9/11 remembrance of the victims and their families. I will never forget where I was when these tragic events occurred. At the time, I was working for a medical laboratory in Seattle, and I can remember hearing all of the events unfolding in real time on the radio. There was no TV to watch what happened in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania near Camp David after the planes collided. Cell phones at the time could not play videos. As soon as my shift at work was over, I rushed home to watch the news on TV to see the instant replay of everything and the aftermath.
The most difficult thing to watch was when both towers collapsed almost an hour apart. All I could think of was the people left behind inside them. I could not fathom that everyone was dead, including firefighters and police. My heart breaks every year on this terrible, horrible anniversary. May everyone Rest in Peace, and my deepest condolences to friends and family who lost loved ones.
REMEMBER CIA, MOSSAD, NEO CONS WHO DID IT. Respect for the victims, not the perpetrators.
There is no substitute for compassionate obfuscation, propaganda and coverup ❤
my father was in an airplane flying into Dallas when the towers were hit. He was to connect there to Orlando but ended up getting a rental car and driving back home the rest of the trip rather than flying since they grounded all flights. My mother was beside herself with worry, needless to say, and begged me to leave my office in Indianapolis as she didn’t know what would/could happen next. 9/11 changed all of us….we’ll never be the same again. My prayers for the victims, their families, and for our country.
I heard Indianapolis (the 16th largest city) was next on their list! Glad you're ok! 👍👍👍
I was 22 years old when 911 happened and I was right outside Washington DC and I’ll never forget that day.
Even after all these years,I’m still shocked and heartbroken for all those loved ones that were taken away…… a memory yes,but a pain that still lingers today.
I Watching all the music and rap videos that had the towers in it 😢. I'm still sad about it .
@@jenniferfields1084 any sight of the towers in a movie, show, or whatever, just makes me sad. Its a feeling I've tried explaining to my siblings who were too young to remember or weren't born yet, they understand, but don't fully get it.
I still suffer the pain of this, too.
Yes i imagine the millions of people the usa has killed overseas have relatives and loved ones who feel much the same decades later.
Can you imagine how the millions and millions of people the us military has murdererd overseas and their loved ones feel? How is it that you can dish out so much death around the world without wincing,, and cry so much over this? Its disgusting .
You have to respect those who came forward and spoke about the tramatic events they experienced first hand. It does help to talk with others and it helps those that listen.
Before I leave this earth I hope to visit the memorial sites of those lost that horrific day and pay my utmost respect.
All those rescuer and aid worker, all of them are heroes
I was just a kid (just short of my 12th birthday) when 9/11 went down. I'll never forget that sheer look of panic and anxiety on my dad's face when he took me out of school early that day. Even more than two decades later by now, I'll never forget the sheer horror, panic, and anger we felt as a nation during those days.
I was only 3 years old, on my family's ranch in rural Montana. Only time I ever saw Dad cry. Mom took us into the storm shelter to protect from bombs. Heard they were targeting farms next, I was sure they were going to hit us hard. I'll never forget the pungent odor of thermite in the air that morning... Never forget. 😢
My heart goes out to all that lost so many loved ones, and continued to experience the ramifications, a Domino Effect of Disaster. It continues after it's "over". And well done, Doctor.....
Thanks
Watch it every year since it first aired. To think of those Firemen and women who went to work knowing they might not see their family again. Such a sacrifice should never be forgotten.
This story is about 10 yrs. after 9/11 and now,in 2 days, it will be 22 yrs.after.
Time moves fast.
And it all still seems like it happened yesterday.
The older we get the faster it goes
I’m 21 I was Born a year after that tragedy
and now the Biden regime is inviting terrorists into our country with open arms
@@TheServantOfJesusChrist you didn't see it so you have no clue what happen that dat. sorry for being blunt. you can only think of.
Listening to the stories and experiences of those affected by the events of 9/11 never fails to evoke a sense of profound sadness within me ...
I, like countless others, am not from NYC and have never even stepped foot into NYC. But I, like countless others, stood hand in hand with the rest of the world in NYC that day. Our hearts, our minds, our souls uniting together as one during a time when time seemingly stood still. We were, and in many ways will always be, there with those people in NYC who lost their lives, with those in NYC who risked their lives, and with those in NYC who saved lives. We thank those who did so much to help, to save, and to protect- the heroes of New York City- the firefighters, police officers, emergency workers, and the people who selflessly helped those who needed it most.
Wow, your comment has lots of commas and introductory clauses, so it must be profound and inspirational! Thank you for your poetic words!
And you have support from other country citizens as I am. Huge respect from middle Earth as I would call it, Bosnia & Herzegowina.
Bless 60 Minutes for doing such a thoughtful program on 9-11. They are to be commended!
This was a wonderful program. Very well done. RIP Louis Modafferi.
I hope they win an Emmy!
Me too!!
RIP Orio Palmer and all who we lost that day and continue to lose.
❤️
Bless these first responders and all those who carried themselves with such grace. 👏👏👏💔
Tragic 😞 as a brit and a 8 year old at school, our teachers brought us into hall to watch this on a CRT television. A day I’ll never forget. RIP to all that lost their lives and my thoughts will always be with victims and their loved ones.
I worked with a girl that ran, and ran, and ran down the street when the first tower fell she was overcome by smoke and jumped in a parked car. She’s never been the same.
So she illegally entered another person's car?? Was she ever prosecuted?
@@marquisgtshut up
One of the things i struggle with is the decision that some of the people had to make that day either jump knowing you will die or stay and burn up and recieve a painful death i can only imagine the hell those people went through before they jumped i seen some holding hands and jumping together they didnt want to be alone in their final seconds of life the heat must have been off the charts i cry for these people
I suppose many of them were accidentally pushed to their death from other people due to fear/panic. If you have to jump from the building, you'll be scared, but you'll die instantly, so it's really preferable if you have to die. Some of them probably went into shock and weren't even conscious when they fell. If you put your hand on a very hot stove your body just immediately reacts and moves away. If you are trapped in the burning building the heat will rapidly burn you alive until the tower collapses and mercifully crushes you to nothing after up to 2 minutes. That's up to 2 minutes of pitch black agony and terror, so that's pretty brutal.
@@Michael-ut6zb 2 minutes that would feel like an eternity. You're so right.
@@Michael-ut6zblet's not suppose what happened
I sometimes have nightmares of being in a skyscraper and the building collapses. I think the terror of witnessing this terrorist attack at a young age has impacted us all in some way.
I remember this day like it was yesterday. I was 27 weeks pregnant at work when a client mentioned the event. I remained glued to the TV all day and night, watching the events unfold. Americans really came together after this event.
These people should have free healthcare for the rest of their lives
I agree and a separate supplemental pension for life for their sacrifice.
Agree
I teared up when they talked about the family members talking about their deceased loved ones. Especially the the flight attendant 's final message to her husband. That stung real bad...
I live in Seattle, and will never forget your heartbreaking heroism.
Thank you.
God Bless our Country 🙏🏽❤
I went to visit ground zero last year with my kids. It was my very first time there since 9/11. I couldnt stop crying. So sad. So awful.
Forever in our hearts. 💔😥

“ he walked up to the medical examiner, and he had bones in his hands. He said this is my son.” What do you say to that?
You say “why are you wasting my time since I obviously can’t do anything to bring him back to life “!!!
@@johnp139medical examiners don't bring people back to life anyway, this event and her memory of that interaction isn't a joke. you sound like a child.
I can’t imagine the pain these people have endured all I can say is I pray to god to give you the strength to deal with grief and mental health trauma. Please god help them to find peace some how 🙏🏻 my deepest condolences to all the families x UK 🇬🇧
Even though it has been more than two decades, every time I watch the programs about 9/11 it feels like it happened yesterday.
We will always remember 🙏🏽
Remember all those who ran into the Towers, and went up the stairs. Remember those who slowed their own escape to help others get out. Remember everyone who headed to NYC and Ground Zero to help. Remember the passengers and crews on those planes. Remember those who perished at the Pentagon.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Remember the Alamo.
When you traumatically lose someone, " I'm sorry for your loss" hurts more than if you just stay quiet.
I don't think people know what else to say. It's all very overwhelming!
@karenharris722 I know. I'm just saying , if people you say it too don't seem 'grateful' for it, I want people to understand. We aren't mean. We just don't want to hear that either because it's still so painful. We don't want people to take offense.
For you.
I was in the office, in Los Angeles and when this was all happening people were having panic attacks that terrorists would be sending planes into our building. That's how little was known at the time, that people on the other end of the country were wondering if our building was next.
I visited the pools when they became open to the public. I visited One World Trade just before it completed. The heaviness was still palpable.
I actually heard the terrorists were targeting random office buildings in LA next!! You're lucky to be alive!!
I am not a American or in New York at the time of this event but boy the pain and sadness i felt for all you guys was and still is something that will live with me forever. So many heros so few survivors.
If you get a chance, watch PBS Frontline The Man Who Knew. This could have and should have been prevented. Just watched it last night and never knew about John O’Neill. He tried to tell them and no one listened to him. He was the hero we needed. Thanks, FBI for nothing. RIP to all the victims of this senseless act.
I’m gonna piggyback of your comment and recommend the audiobook of Lawrence Wright’s book “The Looming Tower”. It goes into the origins of AlQueda and it also talks about John O’Neill
@@vhufeosqapthanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it.
European here: days before, I had just turned 20 years. I came home early from Leiden University that day, around 3 PM Central European Time. Turned on the TV and saw UA175 fly into the south tower. Complete disbelief. I remember phoning my mother and she seriously thought I was either intoxicated or pulling a sick prank. It wasn't until she arrived home and saw the images that she figured I had been serious.
It is remarkable that, even though it was the US east coast being hit, we in Europe also felt it as an attack on our 'western' way of life. It has greatly influenced our political scene and let's not forget it also started the stereotyping, the prejudice and bias against many people of muslim faith. Not only in the USA, but worldwide. This dramatic event determined the course of the world for at least two decades and ended more or less with the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Immediately after that a rude awakening with Russia invading Ukraine. Those are the two pivotal tragic world events of the 21st century thusfar.
Well said.
Thank you for continuing to post every anniversary. Every year I go back through old and new footage and documentaries as tribute. On UA-cam I have a saved Playlist of all video I have found.
I asked my 9 year old son today does he know about 9/11. He said no. So I told him about what happened. He was very to hear how many people died. Seems like they are not telling the kids about this in school ?
I think we don’t remember 9/11 enough. It changed America. We should never forget. ❤️
I work in several schools. We teach students all about it and hold school wide assemblies in rememberance each year on 9/11. My 8th grade daughter just finished a 4 week unit where she was required to interview adults about their experiences on that day. Schools are teaching about this.
Maybe it depends on the state in which you live?
I will forever remember where I was when I heard the news. After, our whole staff was glued to the tv, heartbroken and shocked that this could be happening to us, the most powerful country in the world. Every time I see a video or story about 9/11, I break down in tears remembering how I felt on that day. I lost no friends or family in that attack, but I lost my fellow man and I mourn for them and the families they left behind
I think, how did the fbi let this happen? Al Quada declared war on us in the early 1990s, but our federal government was too incompetent to protect us.
That day we were all family. Nobody cared about political parties, religion, what color you were, where you lived. We were all just Americans. Actually, we were all just humans. So in a sense, we all lost every single person that died that day. You cared so much because you are obviously a good person. The world needs more people like you.
I was 10 years old when the Towers were hit. I live in Greece and it was all over the news, we were literally watching people die and fall from the 100th floor. The whole world stood still that day. I couldn't fully grasp what was going on, but I felt horror and that nobody was safe in this world. What a tragedy, what hatred people have for each other, no matter what and who was the mastermind behind it, it is probably the worst display of inhuman, primitive, vulgar behaviour towards one another. I'll never forget that day.
You won't forget Of course not! That hatred is what is going on Right Now! In Our Country amongst us!! Who gets the crown for this hatred ? So much hatred that people who think they are on the right and others are what? On the left ?!?! Even to the point they want a Civil war
Me, neither, from a Greek American, thank you for sharing our grief, friend.
News in Sweden and Denmark didn't show the jumpers, I didn't know till much later that many had jumped and only just today that it was as many as 200.
I lived in northeast of Brazil at the time and I moved to Texas in 2002 . I am dead sure I was blessed to live in America and mourn the losses of those folks from afar . New York is and will always be a strong city , strong lads and gals . They will never be forgotten. It’s a chapter in our lives . Terrorists are evil but the good ones thrives . God bless America .
I'm now MORE curious about the floors UNDERNEATH the Tower complex!
I was two at the time, one of my first memories as a child is looking back and seeing the two towers on fire. I drew it in a picture that I still have till this day. RIP to all the victims, and love you all! ❤
I still cry today when I watch this tragedy 😢😢😢😢like it was yesterday. God bless america🙏🇺🇸
I'll never forget that morning. I was in the 11th grade in chemistry class, and I still remember seeing the second plane hit right after they had turned the tv on
What element were you studying in chemistry???
I was at home in the 3rd or 4th grade and it was so sad and shocking. My mom kept us home from school.
As most Americans I remember this like it was yesterday . I live on the opposite side of the country from New York and when this happened it felt to me like it was happening in my back yard . I have the upmost respect for the first responders that gave their lives to help the people trapped in those towers . It makes me incredibly sad and oddly I'm filled with pride knowing that there are people out there that will give their lives to help those in need . I don't know what I would of done if I were in that situation . I'd love to say that I would without a second thought enter those buildings to help, but I don't know ... I guess you don't know until you're faced with that tragic situation . The spouses of the people who lost their lives should also be very proud . I've watched a few survivor videos and I see mostly sorrow and confusion . I feel for them .
It was an attack on all of us Americans. Im in Utah and worked at a hotel. Everything was booked I called into Wyoming and Idaho looking for rooms for people and nothing was available. I wasn't too far from SLC airport and people were walking in hopeless not able to rent a car and I had no rooms for anyone. It was a terrible tragedy. My parents both worked at Hill Air Force Base I was so worried that it could be hit as well their phone lines were busy. I didn't get in touch with them until they got home. I'll never forget RIP to all the men and women that lost their lives that day
No the spouses should be mad as hell.
@@Jamie-rr5me I totally see your point . I was just trying to say that the firemen,cops and civilians that risked and lost their lives were incredible people . I was and still am mad as hell ! you're absolutely right , it was an attack on all of us .
I was only 3 years old, on my family's ranch in rural Montana. Only time I ever saw Dad cry. Mom took us into the storm shelter to protect from bombs. Heard they were targeting farms next, I was sure they were going to hit us hard. I'll never forget the pungent odor of thermite in the air that morning... Never forget. 😢
Much thanks and respect to all of the first responders. I love all of you.
There's a story from one paramedic that said one of the jumper or "faller" was actually still alive after hitting the ground! But only for a few brief moments. The guy was tagging people that were assumed dead. And he went to tag that woman and she said "hunny I'm still alive!" Please call my daughter" he knew obviously she was dying or going to die any minute. He didn't quite know what to do. So he lied to her and said.. it's ok. You're going to be ok. "they're coming" Even though her bottom half was all disfigured, her head never hit the ground.😢 My God, this day really upsets me more than any. It wasn't fair to them people... or any human on Earth. It's still hard to comprehend and swallow what all happened that day.
I saw his interview and he mentioned this poor woman was either ejected from the building or on one of the airplanes that hit the tower…he added she must of impacted the ground in a standing position to be that badly disfigured, to still be barely alive from the torso up is unfathomable.
I was working for Jewson timber yard in Perth, Scotland when the first plane hit came over the radio. Never forget. R.I.P all those poor souls lost. Love from Scotland 💔
I still cry today when I watch this untold tragedy. I'm sorry. It did not happen again. May God help all those who lost their loved ones and suffered in any way 11. September.
❤ from 🇭🇷
My son's mother was 4 months pregnant on 9/11. Up until this year, my son didn't really know anything about it.😢 Its really sad to know that people can go through life without knowing the important things. Now, he is really interested in history and science.❤
May all the victims of September 11, 2001 rest in peace. You will never be forgotten. God bless you all, and God bless the heroes who risk their lives to pull people out of the rubble of the The World Trade Center, The Pentagon And their heroic attempt to rescue people on board united flight 93. Unfortunately, as we all know, no one survive that crash.
Lets not forget the victims on the planes too
Absolutely! They must have been scared out of their wits!
Ok! 👍🙄
I was just a schoolchild when it happened but I could never forget that day. Been to all 3 9/11 memorial sites now. We will never forget.
Being on the other side of the world we sat by television in the students lounge in between the classes we had to. We couldn't be further away New Zealand but please believe me, we were watching, you could tell by taking a moment and watch the people, my fellow students that they were watching us. We cared. When we saw people fall from the tower, I had to take some air. Those deaths would have been instant but I cried because their fall below, they were on their own. I'm so sorry and I'm angry for the American citizens that their own president was looking for a way to cash in on their country's trauma. Bush and his cronies need to answer for the misery that they have caused. So many New Zealanders died for Bush. I lived next to the government buildings in New Zealand and heard everytime they shot those rifles after another serviceman or servicewomen funeral service. It made me stop for a second when I saw my nation's flag flying at full staff not half mast. This isn’t about comparing, there is no comparison and nor should we. I'm saying the President had tunnel vision for vengeance but their vision took so many more innocent people needlessly I don't know who was untouched. I may only be able to share my thoughts but we're one day away from the eleventh now, a day where many nations were moved. New York, on that day you showed us the best of ourselves, our humanity. Because on that day, I saw yours. Xx
As an American I appreciate your compassion for the people. But your anger at Bush is very misguided. Our anger is with those "peace loving Muslims" that did it. If you are not a Muslim, Muslims don't want you to exist. Fact.
Thank you for the poignant and kind words and thoughts from New Zealand. Here in the States, it became the opportunity of a lifetime for the fearmongers and warmongers to go to war for almost two decades. We are still paying for it in 2023 and will be paying for the generations to come as the economy is in tatters.😢
@@player4life11111 Nope war ended in 2021 its over and we’re fine. You are the Fear-mongerer. Our Economy is the best in the world right now. You are why this country will never progress

Uruguay here. All tv stations broke live to broadcast the event live, and through de entire day. No one talk about other thing for that day and future weeks. Trully unforgetable day.
Thank you for this compilation. Lest we never forget.❤
29:13 - I think all those designs and plans were not what those who died in 9/11 wanted. 41:56 They wanted something that people around the world will forever remember who they were and what happened to them that day. Even for the rest of the generation to come.
Tomorrow is the 22nd anniversary of the horrific event at World Trade Center. I pray that those who were left alive and survived, the family who were left behind, and to those who finished the job to clean up the area and re-construct it will find peace in their hearts. Someone said, there are still a lot of people dying after the 9/11 incident because of their physical, mental and emotional health. We have to keep praying for those who are surviving after more than 2 decades. They still need help.
May God bless this people.
I remember when the towers collapsed it was the loudest silence I ever heard. 😢😢😢 We will NEVER FORGET 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God Bless the lost and their loved ones ❤❤❤❤
Over 20 years ago, we have never forgotten

I was in the other part of the world, the Philippines, eating my dinner while watching on TV. There was a breaking news from CNN about the 1st plane crash. I thought it was an accident first. Then the 2nd plane crash happened, and I was shocked and told my father that US being attacked. It gives me sadness everytime I remember it. It will never be forgotten. God Bless the USA.
22 years ago, I was 6 years old. I hate seeing good people have to die. New York was beautiful. Not anymore. Its gone. They're gone. All their friends and families. They may be dead... they're souls will never die. They will be reborn.
It’s crazy 22 years ago I was 6 years old in first grade. I still remember the chaos this day even being all the way in Michigan, I didn’t understand what was going on. The school shut down we sat in the dark for hours waiting for our parents to pick us up. My mom couldn’t get a ride from work, she didn’t have a cell phone back then. My latchkey teacher took me and my sister home, it took until 9pm for my mom to get home and get the call from my teacher she had us. Still one of the craziest days of my life.
I am also from Michigan metro Detroit area I worked with a lot of Arab guys an American people of course you know what I mean, I remember they were just arguing, and the Americans were yelling at the Arabs saying look what you did to our country, but our arguments and confusion it was wild that day
@@dennismisovski9932 Oh wow that’s pretty sad they were arguing, you must work in Dearborn or Dearborn heights.
Why did they turn the lights off?
@@marquisgt I was 6 years old do you think they told me? I would assume as a 28 year old they treated it like a lockdown, but again I was 6 years old so that’s not really a conversation they were having with 1st graders.
@@airie14 Hmm, maybe the power went out? From all the thermite??
The egos need to stop and remember all the people who died that day! They need to get the buildings done for all the survivors and families of the deceased 😢😢❤️
What is “get the buildings done”?
I was on leave at Disney World Orlando Florida with the wife and kids, Disney all of a sudden closed the entire park down and made evryone leave, no one really knew why untill driving back to the hotel heard it all over the radio when got to the hotel it was the only thing showing on every TV channel. Crazy times. Less than10 days later I was deployed. May 2, 2011 we finally got the Master mind of it, perserverance and persistance! 🇺🇸✌🏻✌🏻Whats shameful is still today our VETs and first Responders are negelected with more of our tax dollars being sent to other countries, how many billions have we gave to Ukraine? Even our illegal immigrants get better treatment than our own citizens do, shameful!!
I was 14 years old when this happen. My first year of high school had just got started and I'll never forget the silence that came over the whole school that day as we watched it unfold on TV.
Since then, I've seen and been apart of natural disasters unfortunately and seeing it first hand has so much more weight. With that said, no video or picture could possibly encapsulate what these people witnessed. I couldn't imagine living with the weight of their experience.
That interactive memorial is so dope, I know it’s sensitive but I’m glad the families rallied behind the supervisor that wanted to include jumpers & ppl falling in the gallery exhibit, cus it is part of the real story & they didn’t wanna white wash or soften any of the real terror that happened that day & the choice some victims were forced to make. The families & the whole board voted it should be showed & calls should be heard but with advisory warning before hand. Rip
It was really heart breaking on that day. people lost their loved ones and my prayers go to families that lost their loves. 😢
We will never forget.
How will you forget it when nothing has changed from then

(09/09/23)
It’s still heartbreaking for me😢
I've been crying since 9/11/01 and still crying. 😥
@@davidslife989Now that's A LOT of damn tears!!! Hopefully you're staying hydrated, crying 24/7!!!
Thank you for clarifying what exact day you posted your comment!! I never trust the UA-cam timestamps....
I was 6 when 9/11 happened. I'm also from England but when I see UA-cam videos of the planes hitting the towers, the falling people, the collapses, the last voicemails to loved ones, the pentagon hit, all of it... I can't help but imagine what I'd have reacted like if I was stood in the tower watching a plane come towards me or watching the twin tower collapse, or just an onlooker watching a 2nd plane approach. I think I'd just stare, frozen, speechless as if I'm gonna wake up safe in my bed and it was just a nightmare. Rest easy to all those lost on that awful day.
I was 19 and living in massachusetts in 2001. I woke up about 9 with the tv on and I usually never leave the tv on ,I saw the first plane crash thinking it was just a plane crash .then watching what happened with the south tower and the pentagon is still to do this day shocking like it just happened yesterday.
Do you think the "Universe" turned the TV on for you?
I'm from Ca.and we were up very early bc i was having back surgery that day, My husband was watching tv and i asked him what movie he was watching? He said it's the news and all of a sudden the 2nd plane hit! So while I was in the prep room with others, my husband would go the Dr's lounge watch updates and came in and let us know what's happening. So since I was out of it for days.
i really lost a lot of what happened until UA-cam came out. God bless those lives that had been lost ❤ and their family and friends 🙏🕊️
Made it out of the 37th floor Tower 2. Oppenheimer Funds I was working for at the time, I remember going to work 10 minutes early to eat breakfast at my desk then me and my coworkers heard that violent loud crash boom sound that shook the building. We ran to the window and looked up to see Tower 1 gaping hole with massive amount of paper and flames -- we evacuated quickly even ignoring the the building dispatch saying for us to “stay in our seats, until full investigation of Tower 1”
We evacuated down the stairs, as more people from different floors joined and made it to the ground level. In the lobby I saw massive amount of debris and heard loud popping sounds, realizing after that was people jumping to their deaths. The Firefighters who were in the lobby directed us to take a different exit and me being curious to what’s happening I ran towards a different way… I am now in the lobby of the shopping area running around frantic, ran towards another exit in which another chaotic moment happened ( the second plane has just hit the building I am in -tower 2 ) and the exit I am proceeding to go thru, people are running back from the exit towards me because of the plane debris crashing down the side of the building.
I am now running back towards the same lobby area looking for a way out and ran thru Barnes and Nobles bookstore exit and finally stopped to take a breather realizing I am out the building. As I looked up, I see two gaping holes filled with flames and smoke in both towers not knowing anything about planes hitting them. I seen one of my coworkers and I ask him do you think we have work tomorrow 🤷🏽♂️ bc I JUST GOT THIS JOB three months prior.
I am now on Church St and Fulton walking and as I turned around to look up again to see the Tower 2 coming down, I ran from there straight up Fulton as the cloud of debris chased me. I stopped by the seaport, walked over the crowded Brooklyn bridge and saw Tower 1 coming down.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
PRAYERS TO EVERYONE AFFECTED BY THIS TRAGEDY AND CONDOLENCES TO ALL FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST A LOVE ONE DUE TO THIS TRAGIC EVENT.
