      Unfortunately many young people (including in this comment section) think because they weren’t born, it doesn’t matter. That this day should just be forgotten because it’s such a pain to have to hear about it each year. Completely ignorant to the facts that family and friends are still impacted, will forever be impacted. And those 3,000 people and the rescue dogs and the brave citizens who died should be forever honored.

      ​@ellaelliott4415 As someone who was alive that day, as someone who was harmed by this country's actions in the aftermath you can shove off with that self-defeating attitude. What we did in our pain and anger in the aftermath was just as unforgivable as what was done to us, if not more so. The blood of hundreds of thousands can be directly laid at our country's feet in our need to avenge ourselves. They have not 'forgotten'. They are chosing to not let it control them

      I pray for all who suffer from CPTSD, also known as Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, because anything can set it off, especially at night. Too many people suffer in silence and don't get help with it, and it's not a good idea to keep it inside. There's no shame in getting help. Music also helps, but it's got to be the kind of music that brings hope and serenity through it all. For the past 45 years or so, I've found Pat Metheny's music to be the most helpful.

    I saw this documentary when it first came out three years ago. It does an absolutely masterful job, showing how things went from an average, ordinary, and inconsequential day to becoming one of the darkest days in human history. What gets me the most is the footage of Chief Pfeiffer and the firefighters before the attack, in which the stories, memorials, books, change in life, pictures, and lives that were taken DID NOT exist…. Until the first plane hit the North Tower. Crazy how history works, doesn’t it?!

    I was in 7th grade when this happened and don't have a personal connection to anyone affected, but I still go down this rabbit hole every year. I remember my parents picking me up in a panic and then we had the TV on the whole rest of the day and I was unable to look away. I was old enough to understand just how serious it was but I still didn't fully understand how changed the world would be after this and how changed I would be. Watching this now, in my mid 30s, it's still as visceral as it was that day, this is a really difficult watch, but so important and so well done.

      Same same same from the age to the pick up to being glued to the tv and I could also look out my apartment window and see the massive smoke cloud w.o the buildings, that was very jarring. I couldn’t believe they were gone. I would always stare at the towers before that day dreaming of being an adult and working out there.

      Same here. Was in 7th grade at the time. I had just walked into history class and noticed our teacher had the TV on. We all saw that the first tower had been hit, and thought maybe it was an accident, until the second tower was hit. We watched the news for a little bit in other classes, until the principal told all of the teachers to turn off the TVs, as it was upsetting a lot of students. Hard to believe this was 23 years ago already. I feel like it happened maybe a few years ago. I always rewatch 9/11 documentaries on this day every year.

I was just about to turn 20, and am about to turn 43, so I've lived close to equal time on both ends of this, and there is a Very distinct shift. I miss so much about the pre 9/11 times... Mostly the freedom, optimism, and humor of our society, that are virtually gone now.

      Honestly, you're lucky in a way to have been born post-9/11. I was 10 when it happened, and I remember the world how it was before the attacks, and the rest of my childhood was spent with people being largely distrustful of each other and seeing the war on T.V. When it happened, the whole world had a wakeup call. When you account for the relatively lax security measures at the time, 9/11 was a very unsophisticated attack. It's just nobody thought someone would every deliberately ram planes into buildings. And that's part of why the war was so difficult and (still to this day) these types of suicide attacks are ongoing. How do you fight an enemy that isn't afraid to die?

The kindergarten teacher just gave me a look and I said "I'm sorry, but what's happening in the States is unreal". She gave me a patronizing smile and I left. When I picked my son up from Kindergarten, she had an entirely different look on her face because she didn't know about it earlier. She gave me the biggest hug and we both cried a bit. I don't know why that sticks out in my memory. We felt so helpless and couldn't do anything. But this series and Turning Point series on Netflix did a great job of telling a few stories about that day. ❤️✌️🇨🇦

    Suddenly, the news popped up, showing that the North Tower was hit by a plane. A few moments after the South Tower was hit too and we heard that this was a terrorist attack. The news didn't stop until WTC 7 collapsed.
    The next day, I made the towers with my Legos and asked my mother if we could leave them together with some flowers at New York. (I didn't know how far NY from Athens was).

When the president said. They’re gonna hear from all of us. I believe we all felt that. RIP to those that lost their lives that day.

    All of it is heartbreaking. I will never forget where I was (it was my freshman year of college and I was in the dorm with my new, now lifelong friends). I’ll never forget the nightmares I had in the subsequent weeks. There are certain stories I’ll never be able to shake. Acts of heroism I’ll never be able to wrap my mind around and will never, ever forget.

    I remember two days before this happened, I told my mother I had this crazy dream. I was standing in the street looking at a pile of twisted metal and building debris, but I couldn't understand why there were airplane wheels in the pile. It was so vivid I could still smell the burning rubble when I woke up. Two days later, my mother woke me up and told me that the planes hit the towers. 23 years later, I can still remember the dream, and my mother still tells the story. It was, of course, a wild coincidence, but it was so eerie and sad I'll never forget it. RIP to all the victims and heroes who died that day.

      On Saturday September 8, 2001, I had a dream that came in like an unexpected comercial when you are watching a TV show or a movie, I was having a long dream I don’t recall anything about. But in the middle of that dream, suddenly and out of nowhere, I saw the black tip or nose of an airplane going through a wall of blue glass. And that was it. I didn’t see smoke, or fire, or people, or even the full airplane. I woke up suddenly, not understanding, and told my husband the next morning. Today I still keep that image in my memory. Three days later I knew it was a premonition. I still get the creeps.

      I had a dream a few days before but didn't think anything of it. My dream was of two silver mountains, and a plane went through the middle, leaving a wing shape hole in both mountains. I heard screaming, and the two mountains crumbled to the ground, as they were crumbling, I saw blood coming out. I tried to remember what I had been watching on TV to try and pinpoint where this dream came from. It wasn't until I saw the plane image hole in one of the buildings showing clearly a wing shape that I connected the dream.
      I get many dreams of things, I dreamt about my Dad before he died. Do I have a gift? Or does an Angel whisper to me? I don't know, I just wished they made more sense so I could warn people. ❤

      @@janellekm That's interesting! I also had a couple more dreams after this event, but it was only airplanes. The one dream I had was that I was on a plane, and two kids were running up to the bathroom and back to their seats. A couple days later, a plane crashed, and the first two bodies recovered were children. After that, I didn't have anymore. Maybe you should journal these!

    • @janellekm

      @pebblesshado I do now journal them, my sister and I once shared the same dream, we were being shown through a strange house. Our mum and dad were there, and they are both deceased. It was like they were showing us where they now lived or so I thought st the time. Mum kept on showing bedrooms, saying this would be Kenneth's room and showed us hers. She didn't want us to go near the stairs for some strange reason. Entry seemed to be like a bridge into the house. I had a sense of my grandmother being there, but I didn't see her. When sharing it with my sister, she mentioned that she could smell our grandfather tobaco. Approx 1 month later, our eldest brother had an accident, He was dying with liver cancer, which we didn't know, and he had a fall down his stairs from his house and apparently didn't die straight away. My sister went up to his house, which both of us had never seen, to help my other brother to collect his stuff. My sister rang me immediately to tell me it was his house we had dreamed of. I take my dreams seriously, and I don't care if I sound like a fool, but I tell people who are in my dreams that I dreamt about them and what happened.
