- David Kravette was a bond broker for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 105th floor of the North Tower. He had an early meeting scheduled with two men from the technology team of another brokerage. Dave continues to work on the trading floor in the midtown offices of the same company. To see more, visit exhibits.tributewtc.org/oralhistory/surviving911/
The Butterfly effect right there, a man simply forgetful enough to leave his wallet at home that day results in this man surviving the whole show.
You're seeing causality where there is only coincidence and consequence. The guy could have been in an elevator when the plane hit like dozens of other people.
@438295 ....hey idiot....he made a comment. Perhaps you can't understand it. But don't try to tell me what he said or didn't say. It's right there in the fucking window.
ps don't leap into a comment-stream when you don't understand what anyone is saying in it..
@@touristguy87 piss off
What about the girl 8months pregnant?
Mike Zavala Same thing I was wondering...
I can’t imagine how many people must have survivors guilt from this. Please don’t blame yourself, you weren’t the hateful people that caused all of this
Damn right Jen, damn right. Great comment.
Right the united stated goverment is
@@hbkslazyeye6916 lmao. You forget your meds?
My mom does. She worked between NY and NJ for the Port Authority. She was there earlier that morning, but it was canceled, so she went back over to the airport in Newark. She lost a lot of friends that day. 21 years on, she's still struggling.
Hard for him not to... knowing he thought he was being considerate in going down to meet them in the lobby instead of sending the nearly due pregnant assistant go do it instead.
Wow lucky man. I believe he thinks of his pregnant assistant every day. I to will never forget that day.
Joe Hey Joe I’m SURE its a heavy cross to bare. I personally wouldn’t want that day after day night after night.There the ones that shoot their self.(mo)
Yeah, I wonder if this is the pregnant woman who had to jump that I keep hearing about?
There were a lot of stories like this in the World Trade center that day. I remember reading about a woman who worked on 98th floor of Tower 1 who'd just found out she was pregnant that morning
Rocket Shields There were at least 11 pregnant women who died on 9/11.
my mom was pregnant with me on that day. all those babies who’ve died in the womb would’ve been around 18 today and sadly didn’t get a chance at life :(
That’s insane, if he would’ve stayed on the phone for a couple more minutes he probably would’ve died in the elevator
But maybe they would have canceled the paper and his kids wouldn't get hit by a car. You never know!
@Tom R She is a Karen.
Died in the Elevator or would've been trapped above the point of impact.
minutes? probably seconds.
David, don't EVER feel "sorry" for getting emotional about that day. You have no reason to be sorry. I'm so glad that you made it home safely to your family.
The guy forgetting his ID saved three lives. They all would have been on floor 105 at 8:46.
wow - nice observation - very true !
IndianOutlaw1870 Him forgetting his ID saved four lives including his own.
I can tell by the way he chocked up that he has survivors guilt. He's so sad for the loss of his coworkers but nobody saw the atrocity coming. So sorry for the loss of all those souls that day.
What a lucky man!I lost a friend from Cantor Fitzgerald on 9/11.Sean Bowman.God rest him and all the victims of 9/11.
He calls a guy a knucklehead for forgetting id then .... life changed.
There are lessons in amongst a sea of grief
I can’t even believe that he’d think it’s so unimaginable that a human being/“an adult” would “forget his wallet/ID” and because of that, the guy’s “knucklehead!” What the hell is he even talking about?!!! I wanna say to him: HUMAN BEINGS FORGET THINGS BECAUSE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BECAUSE WE ARE BEING HUMAN!!! HELLO!!! Seriously though, what is wrong with him?!
@@CrystallyLavender because, dummy, the guy knew he was going to a business meeting at the WTC. He knew there would be a security desk and ID would be needed. That’s standard procedure at any major metropolitan office high rise. Remember, they had already been through a bombing attack in 1993, so security was tight.
@@CrystallyLavender I believe he does not think the "forgot wallet" guy as a knucklehead any longer.
He owes that knucklehead his life !!
@@CrystallyLavender I guess you are not from NYC. You cant get into any bldg in NYC without an ID. Especially in WTC with extreme security screening. Everybody in NYC knows that
I believe that “Knucklehead” is a very N.Y. “insult” that is light-hearted in nature, especially among New Yorkers.
I remember this story. I read that the family of the pregnant woman was mad at this guy. They initially blamed him for her death.
They said he should have forced her to go get the clients since it was her job. Obviously if she did, she would have been the one to survive. Goes to show grief effects people differently!
Yah Rite..Now If He WOULD'VE told Her..Yah Its Your Job..NOW Go Down 105 FLOORS to Check Them In..He Wouldve Of Been Labeled a Smuck for Sending a 7-8 Month Pregeant Lady all the Way Down to the Lobby..But the ATTACKS Happened and Now He's A Monster Cuz He Went Instead Of Her Cuz Cantor Fitzgerald the Whole Company got Killed UNFORTUNATELY..Hits Home as well FOR me as Well..I was a VOL. FIREFIGHTER FOR ENGINE 54/TRUCK 4/BAT. 9. MIDTOWN Summers: '95-'07..We Lost 34 Guys in Out BATTILLON Total..22 RECOVERED..12 NEVER RECOVERED...If Me n My Partner That Tragic Day D.T. Would've TAKEN ROUGHLY 15-20 Min. In the SOUTH TOWER..We Both would've been #35/36 and I Wouldn't be here at THIS Point in TIME Sharing This..STAY SAFE EVERYONE..PEACE✌✌✌
Jean Robert 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️ Terrible event that happened. Bless you and your fellow fire fighters, and all the innocent people who died.
@@ih6601 THANX MAN✌👍
Jean Robert Yessir!
Blaming him for her death is absurd. That's like saying he knew in advance what was going to happen.
Wow, he is one lucky ..., he must have had some serious guilt about that lady. The knucklehead saved him.
The more I watch these tales the more I realize how much destruction there was not just for those that were below the impact zone but even in the lobby you weren’t safe when the planes hit.
Who would think that because someone forgot their wallet down in the lobby would be this mans saviour
This man was very very Lucky that day. I dude forgets his wallet and saves this man's life.
I am very thankful that people managed to survive to tell us about their miraculous stories.
Amazing story. When it’s not your time, it’s just not your time.
So glad he survived to tell his story, and raise his children.
My dad did a roof for a guy who was in the lobby of WTC1 when the first plane hit. When he told my dad the story he also mentioned of a large fireball down the elevator shaft. When he saw the fireball he immediately left the building.
I cant imagine the survivors guilt the man in the video must have. Just one act of kindness ultimately saved his life but costed the life of that pregnant woman. I just hope he has been getting the support to cope with it all.
Every time I hear a story of 9/11 survivor can't help but cry and take it as an inspiration on this cruel world that there's still hope no matter how desperate the situation maybe.
The part that impacts me the most - and I'm surprised I don't see any other comments about it - is how he left his phone upstairs and couldn't tell his wife he was okay. As soon as he said he didn't have his phone, my heart sank. Not only did his poor wife think he died when the Tower fell, but he almost certainly KNEW that's what she was thinking, and there was nothing he could do about it...
How is that the bit that impacts you the most he's alive. Not being able to call his family for a bit would've sucked but it's not a huge deal. Everyone else is sad about the pregnant lady who died.
Thats something that gets to me too. We live in a day and age where even if your just going to the toilet for 2 mins, you take your phone with you. Back then, it was something you could just leave in your office and not worry about. His entire family would have gone for hours just thinking he was dead. That is totally heart breaking.
@@valrose6083 There was a pretty big chance that the cellphone wouldn't had worked anyway since both the system was heavily overloaded and the communication antenna for the area was on the north tower.
@@AirQuotes yeah, totally agree with you! I mean, gimme a break, his wife only waited a teeny bit for his call. How’s that the thing that impacts someone the most considering all the other tremendously mind-boggling, sad, and horrific things in his story?
How long could his wife have waited for that call? The guy was already in the lobby and obviously left the building, as soon as witnessing those poor souls getting thrown across the lobby to the windows and getting “incinerated” instantaneously. If anything, he was the very, very first ones that went out onto the streets before the lines were jammed up with all the calls and the streets were flooded with people fleeing and spectators. So he was obviously able to make it to a phone extremely quickly to call his wife. 🙄
@@CrystallyLavender I doubt he was able to get a phone "extremely quickly" in the mayhem after the collapses. Only landline phones were working, and all the payphones (which no longer exist) had lines of people.
You were meant to survive. Live your life in the memory of those that did not. Many blessings to you sir,
Jesus. Poor guy is thinking why me and not coworker who was 8 months pregnant. So awful. I feel for him
Glad for you and your family you made it, Dave.
No Fuel From Those Supposed Planes Hit The Lobbies! Posted on UA-cam proves what really happened. You can view the obvious correct? Posted right here on UA-cam..( WTC 1 Cre # 5 ) Please view and tell us what you think..
The bravery this gentleman has to open up, telling his story of what had happened on that day.
“Bravery??!” Okay…that’s a new one…I just never expect that it’d ever be described as “bravery” for telling the story…
Thank your very much David Kravette , for sharing your experience with the World. I think i can only imagine how hard it must be, to talk about this, while haing those Pictures in mind.
What's funny to me is the statement 'a grown man forgets to bring his wallet' said so derisively like...how can a grown adult forget something so important. And that lapse of judgement is the only reason this whole other person is alive right now. That's deep as fuck.
got to be careful because the way he said it could be dry - classic New Yorker - not meant to be taken so much at face value. one hell of a survival story.
@@moaningpheromones I'm a native New Yorker. I was in 6th grade when the attacks happened.
It’s not “deep.” It’s proof that random shit happens, every day. In big and small ways, all around us. Every decision has consequences, on ourselves and others. He wasn’t being derogatory in retrospect but rather relaying how he felt at that time about having to fetch a person who didn’t bring any ID to a meeting at the WTC. I’d have thought the same in his shoes. In fact I’ve literally thought the same when I’ve had to sponsor my own troops back on base when they leave their ID cards at work and can’t get back on base. It’s annoying. And somehow you find this normal feeling of irritation to be objectionable because of the totally unrelated, albeit horrific, events that followed. That’s just plain odd.
Although it’s obvious that he wasn’t being disparaging to say that a “grown man forgets to bring his wallet,” it is still extremely preposterous and completely and utterly devoid of logic!!! In case he or anyone else has forgets -- HUMAN BEINGS FORGET THINGS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE WE’RE HUMAN!!!!
What an unbelievably lucky man...658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees died that horrible day...no one above the impact zone in the North Tower survived...I am sure that he has thought of those facts everyday of his life since...
All light all around you always, Mr. Kravette. All light.
Bless him
At 1:59 you are seeing PTSD.
Rod Norman “my cellphone was up in my desk” upstairs with the heavily pregnant assistant burned to death :(
Rod Norman Also seeing survivors guilt.
Scilla Vanilla she jumped
100%. Comes out of nowhere and sucks every time. I live with it too,
Pat C did you just assume my gender?
Jesus, I don't know how people come back from this. How do you go on with your life?
God Bless him and everyone affected by this murderous attack. RIP to all the souls who just went to work that day to provide for themselves and families believing they were safe.
And to all of the people, those who KNEW this was going to happen, to those who are complicit, "DAMN YOU".
God will surely sort those people out.
Imagine if he ignored the man downsrtairs said, "If he has forgotten his ID tell him to go back home.".... kindness pays
One have to wonder if it weren't for the previous terrorist attack in 1993 that the security would have let him through without needing his ID. It's crazy how lucky that guy was.
@@YeeLeeHaw showing ID at a lobby security desk in a major office high rise was standard procedure long before the 1993 bombing.
@@calisongbird Not saying it wasn't. It's the rigidity that tends to get sharpened up when you have already had an incidence.
God bless this wonderful man xx
Unbelievable! This man is a miracle! God bless him! Omg!
One of the women "lifted by the fireball and thrown through the windows" was one of his colleagues at Cantor-Fitzgerald on her way into the building from the taxi area. She was thrown some 60 feet out, on fire, suffered 3rd degree burns on 80+% of her body.
She was evacuated from the area ~60 minutes later to a hospital where she started an extensive series of procedures.
She would not learn the fate of that morning, until coming out of an induced coma, 2 months later in late November.
Everyone at cantor Fitzgerald between the 101st and 105th floor died that day just a few floors above the impact zone
Amazing how many people that day had no idea they were in danger but were saved by the most mundane of situations. Seth MacFarlane had copious amounts of alcohol the night before and woke up with a hangover, his own tardiness saved his life!
The pregnant woman (I've often wondered how many women WERE pregnant that died in the planes or the towers; were they counted among those murdered that day? Just asking') he went in place of......she died. This guy (lucky, lucky bastard) survived. I was reading about another guy who was on his way thru the concourse at 8:30 that morning. He hesitated outside of a jewelry shop trying to decide whether to pick up his wife's repaired watch, or wait till after work. He decided not to wait and picked up the watch. Had he gone up to the 98th fl. of the N. Tower to his office.....that would have been the last thing he did on Sept. 11th. Such a small thing: picking up a watch...or waiting to pick it up, was the difference between living...or dying. There was a very good chance he'd have been one of the hundreds who jumped to their deaths. Damn.
Hundreds jumped? Didn’t know it was that many…is that what’s been reported or you’re just guessing? Do you know of anyone that was killed by the jumpers? Haven’t come across stories of that yet because I’ve only been reading up and watching videos on 9/11 survivor stories within the past week.
@@CrystallyLavender a fireman was unfortunately killed by one of the jumpers. The story was on a documentary on the tv.
There were 10 women that were known to be pregnant who were killed. There may have been others who did not yet know they were pregnant, or who had not shared the news yet.
The manager of the Windows on the World restaurant, I believe it was, was late to work that morning because he had taken his son to the first day of kindergarten, and that's how he survived. Everyone else who was at work already was killed.
So tragic, looking forward to having a baby, he survived and she didn’t, just those few minutes change everything
I can't imagine. He has such an unusual perspective, even about the building, explosion and gas etc., I wish I could find his full story. I've looked everywhere. Regardless, it has probably taken a team of therapists to get him functioning.
Why do so many people say sorry whenever they get emotional. This man and his family went through a nightmare on 9/11, of course he gets emotional when talking about it, even years later
The woman who was 8 1/2 months pregnant was one of the 19 people who died pregnant that day. Everyone who showed up to work for cantor Fitzgerald died that day. Can you imagine that,a whole firm of just under 700 people wiped out.
From all of the videos I’ve seen of people being interviewed (those who were present on 9/11) one will haunt me for a very long time. A guy on the ground level of tower one said he saw a pregnant jumper hit the ground, and the unborn baby come out.
She might’ve been the same person who was 8 1/2 months pregnant.
This has haunted me ever since I watched that interview.
@@TastyShepherdsPie Yeah i can imagine there was a few sights similar to that on that day. If he left her up there, on the floor that was right at the centre of it, i wouldn't be surprised if that was her. fuckin sad state of affairs.
@@TastyShepherdsPie Do you remember who that was? I've been listening to a lot of these 9/11 tribute museum interviews, but I haven't heard anything that graphic and wondered if they were editing details out of respect..
@@milkflavored I saw that programme too. Tales of the tower I think it was called. Absolutely horrific.
@@TastyShepherdsPie I saw that too. Basically this woman’s belly had burst like a melon and he could clearly see the baby. Just heartbreaking 💔
It's amazing how a unimportant choice culminates into a few seconds of life or death.
His pregnant assistant also lost her cousin that day
That's ok. We're emotional, too. 💗
Just cannot fathom the amount of guilt weighing down on him about that lady who was 8 months pregnant.
Think about that...he doesn't mean Cantor's own lobby, he means the main lobby on the ground floor of what was WTC 1 (North). That fireball went up and down that elevator shaft (or shafts) to the top of the building and all the way to its basement.
That never happened.
@Shill Hunter 2.0 it did happen. According to several witnesses even several fireman stated that there were people burned to death
Was there also a similar fireball in the South tower ?
@@shillhunter2.076 Oh, you were there and saw it first hand? Because if not, how the eff do you know?
I find this story so astonishing! The unbelievable chain of events that saved his life that started when that man left his wallet at home (or wherever) .. Just incredible luck & timing. Same with the Windows on the World head chef who would have been doomed had he not made the last minute stop to the optometrist.
This is called the Butterfly Effect.
Play Until Dawn on PS4.
That silly forgetful grown adult man who forgot his wallet saved your life that day
Others tell stories of getting flat tires on their way to work, and cussing and getting really angry as they have to change the tire. Then, a half hour later realizing, were it not for the inconvenient tire blowout, they would have been sitting in the middle of the impact zone.
Bless
Damn, he is one lucky SOB. I'd be so freaked out if I were him... Why me?
You just can't imagine what it must be like for people like this to live with.
Is there a full unedited version of this?
He was just at the right place at the right time and it's only those who were that we get to hear their accounts. This guy most certainly suffered some severe survivors guilt and PTSD. Anyone waiting to go up after he got off the elevator was likely killed. He has to live with the decisions he made which saved his life but left the coworkers above the impact zone. That has to be a daily struggle. None of this was his fault. NONE of it. Circumstances as fickle as they can be, gave him a second chance at life but the luck of events that played out as they did.
It's made me angry for 20 years that anyone, especially New Yorkers, would not even suspect it was terrorism until after the 2nd plane hit.
Now, why would you get angry about something like that? RIDICULOUS
I was in 11th grade and immediately said it was suicidal. It was a clear day and a tall building..deliberate!
I suspected it after the first plane, am surprised some people didn't suspect it, but certainly not ANGRY with them over it.
So glad your ok.
So brave xxxx
God bless him.
Incredible fortune, probably changed his life for ever
When its not your time to go, u wont
That's what it comes down to in the end; not luck or coincidence.
Wise words 👍
There is no “time to go”. People die. It’s random luck or misfortune that often determine your fate.
So it's a coincidence that it was 2,900 people's time to go and they all happened to be in the same area at the same time? Except this guy?
It was nobodies "time" on 9/11. When your grandma dies at 100 years old, it was her time. These people didn't die because it was their time to go. They died because someone cut their lives short early. This man just happened to unknowingly make the right decisions to survive that day.
@@cameronfielder4955 wrong
♥️
An angel by his side that morning that got him off the floor immediately.
Too bad the "angels" were missing or having breakfast away from so many other people that day. Or anyday.
This explains why the lobby looked the way it did
Yes. Never thought of that!
@@dvawva5197 nothing but prayers for those who died that day but I really don't believe that something else happened to the lobby
The lobby was messed up from explosions in the basement. A plane hitting up on the 80th floor is NOT going to mess up the lobby.
@Shill Hunter 2.0 explosions in the basement 🤣🤣🤣 where the smoke coming from out the basement then. The force of the plane crash twisted the Building. Some people believe in every make believe thing except reality
As SOON as he walked out the elevator 🤯
RIP Deanna Galante
That is what I came up with. I don't have any connection to Cantor Fitzgerald but she was an Executive Assistant on the 105th floor for eSpeed.
I wonder what he did in the time between being in the lobby and the 2nd plane hitting. Is there a longer version of this interview available? But besides that, it must have been horrific to have been there at the time and witnessing all this.
My uncle was retrenched from his job at the wtc two weeks before
Good thing that knucklehead forgot his wallet.
It wasn't his time yet. It's not his fate to die that day, as simple as that!
We forgot the elephant in the room why are women expected to work while 8.5 months pregnant? It happens in no other country in the 1st world.
The same reason companies were ordering their employees to continue working in Tower 2 after Tower one was hit.
Did it ever occur to you that her employer told her that she could start her maternity leave already, but she enjoyed working so late into her pregnancy? How do you know she was compelled to work at that point?
@@thomast8539 Then she is a selfish workaholic without any regard to the wellbeing of her baby. Someone is in the wrong in either case.
Wrong, in the Netherlands it’s your choice
I had a coworker choose to work until literally 2 days before she was due; entirely her choice. She was going to come to work on Saturday morning even though her baby was due on Monday, and she called me early that morning to tell me she couldn't come in. It took me a minute to understand that she was in labor right then! And she was apologizing for waking me up!
It wasn’t HIS TIME!!!
hard to believe there were no cameras in the lobby that recorded that fireballl.. I asume it was jetfuell running down the elevator shafts?
Or Nobody was videotaping IN The plaza when First plane hit !?
Security cameras?
@@martygras378 yeah let's go check the security camera...oh no wait the whole building collapsed
The person who saw the pregnant woman's belly splatter and the baby came out with its cord still attached is Dave Donovan, a May Davis employee at the North Tower at around 9.58 am.
His interview is featured in the 2002 documentary - A Tale of Two Towers. It seems like the only interview he has ever participated in.
He saw this scene as he was exiting the revolving doors at the ground floor of the North Tower that leads to the plaza area in between both towers.
He mentioned this as the most horrific thing hes ever seen in his life. Passenger bodies still strapped to their seats. Body parts lying all around. The pregnant lady jumping. Probably why hes never done other interviews since that, too painful to recall I guess.
One thing I am pissed about though, is that people automatically assume that this pregnant lady who jumped is the same desk assistant who sat behind David Kravette at Cantor Fitzgerald.
There is nothing that confirms the pregnant woman Dave Donovan saw was the same lady behind David Kravette !!
Those people who allege so, does it make you happier even if it was the same lady?
You should be ashamed for making such baseless insinuations !! That is so FKING disrespectful !!!
I did my research. There were 11 pregnant women killed, only few were from North tower, and only one woman has unborn child which was quite large(which remains saw Dave Donovan), and this woman was Deanna Lynn Galante, the colleague of David Kravette. I am sorry, but it is only one logical option, but I guess it doesn't really matter anymore.
I don't see how it's disrespectful. It's just speculation, with some cause. Probably not a ton of8 month pregnant woman working in the building at 845. Stop crying about it.
What is disrespectful about that? People wanna know names and stories of the victims, as long as we remember they live.
The elevator shaft at level 80 does not connect to the lobby. This was not airplane fuel. This was an explosive that went off in the lobby. Sad this is still being covered up.
Holy crap...
Lucky man that the guy forgot his wallet etc, fate
Wow
I hope he sent those knuckleheads a ham.
He does skip a lot out here, as in what happened between plane one and two and his escape.
He probably walked out with the rest of the survivors.
I want to know how he avoided the fireball coming towards him and if the two tech guys were so lucky
He's summarizing you genius he's not going into detail that would take an hour to explain step by step🙄🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻
@@jodyj0 or could be telling fibs
Good God. They lost nearly everyone.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow. He is so lucky
How come the lobby wasn't on fire?
He explained it right. The condition of the North Tower lobby at ground level confused even the first responders.
There were people burned and trapped in the basement levels also. It requires people who know the Twin Towers and the elevators shafts to fully explain it.
When the first firemen arrived on scene, it looked like the plane crashed in the lobby instead of floors 92-97.
It didn't happen in the South Tower. The two plane crashes didn't have identical results. Most of the fatalities, and nearly all of the jumpers and fallers occured in the North Tower.
Because it was an erosion or bubble that expanded and went down the elevator shaft than retracted as soon as it hit the lobby windows. Yes? Understand? Anything in the way got burned.
"The force of the blast, broke the glass."
I wonder how Mr. Knucklehead is doing these days.
Did they cancel the paper?
Yes. She didn't get the big check like all the other wives did.
@@justbecause9645 I bet there's been times when the marriage was turbulent she regretted not keeping him on the phone longer.
We shall never know.
Holy effing hell. So crazy to know you were so so close to death
If this isn't proof positive that so much of what happens in life is just random chance - meaning good luck and bad luck occurs with no real rhyme or reason - I don't know what that proof would be.
this is wrong. It' snot "random chance". There is a purpose to everything.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic Bullshit. Why would this guy be spared and thousands of others die? You don't have a good answer to that question. But I do. And it's called random chance. You're idea that it has some supposed purpose is nothing but wishful thinking.
Surround yourself with knuckleheads
He didn't mention hearing or feeling the plane hit his building. Just went straight to the fireball coming out thru the service elevator. Just an observation. Would have thought it would have been something they would have all heard before the fire came thru on them.
I thought that too. Most heard and felt the hit. Most heard explosions before hand. What a tool!
Got to keep to the narrative!
You have to take into account how amazingly high those buildings were. I could easily see him not hearing it down in the lobby, especially with all of the street noise, maybe music, etc. I was 1 1/2 blocks away (inside my office) when they were hit. Didn't hear first one but I did hear the second, which made a much bigger explosion on impact. Sounded like a huge bomb had just went off.
Bullshit, you conspiracy nuts have no idea how physics works.
These are snippets taken from a fuller interview on the museum UA-cam site.
And a peaceful, all powerful god was cruel enough to allow such bad luck to befall the pregnant woman but spared this guy? If there’s a God, he isn’t what we think he should be.
Fate...
Lots of luck in getting over this horrible event. But, we are still all UNITED as Americans! God Bless the Greatest Country in the World
By which standards exactly is it the greatest country ever?! Just because Americans tend to repeat and perpetuate this belief does not make it more true when it comes to objective statistics. Sorry, guys.
Divided. No longer united.
Greatest country in the world? Lmao. Y’all sound like Nazis.
Damn..and that pregnant lady?
F. Jaeger that lady successfully delivered her babies
No one who was in Cantor Fitzgerald that day survived -- all 700+ people who were physically in the office that day died. The only Cantor Fitzgerald employees who survived were the ones who were late to work or down in the lobby dicking around like this guy. The pregnant woman and her baby were hit dead-on with that plane . .they were likely vaporized.
Vibrating Cat and how the fuck do you know? Huh? Since you’ve just insulted this guy!
Terry K, you're right. . I just rewatched some videos and it was people in the high 90s to 101 floor that were vaporized. . Cantor was on floors 101-105 and the plane cut off all staircases. Escape was 100% impossible for anyone above the 100 floor. Most of those 700 CF employees died slow deaths choked by smoke. Most of the jumpers and people who fell came from their offices and all the photos of people hanging out of windows waving cloths were Cantor Fitzgerald employees still very much alive and suffering terribly until the North tower fell.
There is one 9/11 documentary, which details the account of a survivor named Ron Defrancesco.
In it he states that he saw a pregnant lady fall and her foetus came out when she hit the ground and he has had PTSD ever since.
Very likely this was the pregnant lady everybody's been talking about here.
1:28 What did he say? it made no sense. Did he mean that the fireball throws people through the class, and/or incinerated the people at the same time? That is what I heard
He’s obviously struggling to clarify exactly what happened because it must be a horrific memory
Emma S ...True, you have an obvious point.
From what I understand, from another account of that day. A woman described in detail, that it was like a back draft. The fire used the oxygen up in the lobby, then blew outward throwing people through the lobby glass, or some such. She was one coming out of the elevators and had bad burns. She's ok now thanks to people that helped her into a ambulance.
Both things happened at the same time. it was a fireball / shock wave that was extremely hot and which would also break the windows in the lobby and throw humans some distance. No reason both things couldn't occur simultaneously.
@@hebneh ...ah! im stupid
Lucky.
Plane enters the north tower between floors 99-93, each floor was over a qtr acre. Sorry but could of had 10 planes worth of fuel and still would not have been enough to reach the lobby with fireball, let alone blow out the thick glass panels.
Where do you get that nonsense from
The core of the building housed elevator shafts. Elevator shafts are basically large vertical tunnels going from the top to the bottom of the building. When the aircraft, loaded with fuel, breached the core, those shafts were exposed, and the thousands of gallons of fuel from the disintegrating fuel tanks in the breaking apart plane were released. Some of it went down those big holes because of this mysterious force known as GRAVITY.
@yusuf naqui Very true many columns were severely damaged or totally destroyed and several floors already fell
That part IS hard to believe. IF not, then was it just some sort of bombs set off in the Lobby ?
Maybe tell that to the people who survived with third degree burns from being in the lobby you moron
Did his assistant survive?
She passed away in the towers or jumped.
@@Gabster1990 OMG 😮😣😩
I'm glad you survived. Don't feel guilty you were just extraordinarily lucky. God had better things in store for you and your life.
That's ridiculous. So all the other people who died horrible deaths that day didn't have worthy lives or futures? No, this man survived because of a series of random events and ordinary decisions that just took him away from where so many others died. His assistant probably died because 8.5 months earlier, she got pregnant!
Jesus Christ 😭
Yes, he was there that day saving the ones that was not suppose to go that day. We will never understand why some go and some saved until we get to heaven and we will know then. Call on Jesus everyone before it's to late.
He’s fucking lucky that he went down in the elevators just before the first plane hit.
