    The best man at my wedding was a fire chief in St. Louis. He volunteered to work the pile in NYC to find survivors. He was one of the most relentless teasers and jovial personalities I’ve ever known. When he called us in short order from New York, he was somber and overwhelmed, and said they immediately knew they wouldn’t be finding any survivors, but just an unimaginable number of body parts instead. He died ten years later from a 9/11 related brain disease. Not every 9/11 victim died on 9/11. It’s still exacting a price on human lives to this day.

    @8:14 You´ve got to remember that the contiguous US has 4 standard time zones. In addition, Alaska, Hawaii, and 5 US dependencies all have their own time zones. This ball game is on East coast time zone or for people in Hawaii it is six hours earlier.

    Watching this on 9/11 hits so hard for those of us who had loved ones who either were killed that day, or were one of the first responders. I was 2 years old at time and my dad was working at Rikers Island (an infamous jail in NYC) as a correctional officer at the time and when everything happened….he was one of the first responders who had to go down there to help out. He actually had a picture of himself in the 9/11 memorial museum but they closed like last year. He also has given a book that had aerial pictures of the towers as the attack happened. I’m 25 years old, and I still haven’t looked at that book and ever since I was little whenever they’d show videos at school….I had to leave the room. Last year was the first time ever in my life that I finally watched the well known Jules Naudet video on 9/11.

      He had nothing to do with it, in reality. Not planning, not funding, or otherwise. He was a patsy that they wanted dead for other reasons. Bin Laden was a former CIA asset who they double crossed. Saudi Princes were involved, but instead we went into Iraq on lies for their oil, and Afghanistan for their poppy fields to supply big pharma, instead of the real culprits. FOIA requests have revealed this, and can now be found on an official government website.

    Thank you so much Jono for your thoughtful reaction today! Everyone here remembers where they were when they heard the news and the days and days of heartbreaking news on the number of innocent people lost. This was the day where we were finally able to begin the actual healing process from that terrible day. I have avoided watching any rebroadcasts of the tragic events of that day as the images are ingrained in my memory like it was yesterday and I wish those images would fade away. TY really, to both you and Kat.

    Normally baseball games are only 9 innings, however, if the score is tied, they play additional innings until they find a winner. In each inning, each team gets up to bat, while the opposing team is in the field. The first team hits at 'the top of the inning' & the opposite team bats in the 'bottom of the inning'.

    No American that was old enough to remember, will ever forget 9/11 . We can tell you, where we were, who with, what we were doing. That day brought us all together.
    Again, years later, when that baseball game was playing and they announced that the president was breaking in special report, I told my husband WTH , this late? What is going on?
    Normally, games don't go that late , but they do sometimes. I will tell you most Americans probably don't get enough sleep, that night social media was a fire storm of sharing .

Because THIS shows the best of our country, that no one can break our will, no matter how hard some may try (and still try to this day).

    Hey I love yalls channel. My grandma from Poland and grandpa from Italy. Moved to New Jersey before WW2. Now live in Houston Texas. I was born 7/11 1995 and I can still remember seeing the news cause I didn't get to school yet. So I was home. My father was contractor and worked in those towers like everyone's parents in NJ. I watched live the men who jumped from the towers. Btw in Jackson NJ. I could see the smoke from the towers. Also I lived next to 3 bases. Airforce, army, and lakehurst naval base. I been on all them because my family was high up in Navy and Army. They trained the tanks and helicopters in NJ. My father was scheduled to board the flight who went down in PA but his boss canceled 2 weeks before it. Going to elementary school that day. I remember seeing teachers crying because like I said everyone in my town had people who worked In the city or towers and my fathers friend got killed and we have a friend who survived down here in Texas. I hate hearing people down here say younger kids don't know but I was only 6 and I remember every single thing because I lived through it watching people I knew die. There's a documentary on nat geo that shows this black woman who is security gaurd letting the fire men in mins before the tower went down and we knew her 😭🥺. It affects my family and me even after 23 years. It's very very hard for my father and my family to watch those videos again. ❤🇺🇸♥️🙏🥺

    My mother in law was on a plane back from London. All we knew was that her flight number #11 we didnt know it was a bigger number. They were half way across the ocean when they found out. So they had to turn around and go back to London. We didn't know if she was okay or what.
    It took a couple of days before she could call us during 9-11.
    This was great news for me. The question is why did they through his body off the boat before anyone saw him. Why would we give him that coutrtsey?

    Something never mentioned in videos in 9/11 is that fire departments across the nation and Canada sent apparatus and personnel to NYC, including fire departments in California, across the nation. One of those killed during the clean up and search was an EMT from Brighton Ambulance in Monroe County, NY which is 300 miles from NYC.

    Part of the reason these teams in particular have a special connection to the events of 9/11 is that they represent 2 of the states most affected by the attack - New York and Pennsylvania (where the heroic passengers of United 93 chose to fight back and the plane crashed into a field instead of allowing the hijackers to hit their other target (presumed to have been the white house). It was serendipity that it was these 2 teams on this night.

    Jono - for the game time - keep in mind that this is the "national game of the week" - so back then it started at 8pm East Coast time (so folks on the West Coast could see it at 5pm). And back then baseball was in a period of games getting stupidly longer and longer. Most games now take about two hours and fifteen minutes (some can go longer - there's no "clock" in baseball - though they did institute a pitch clock last season) and the Sunday night game now starts 7pm Eastern Time on Sundays.

    Major League Baseball put in new rules so games wouldn’t last so long. The new rules suck. They penalize the pitcher if he doesn’t throw the ball in a specified period of time.
    There’s a clock timing him.
    Stupidest thing is, it does nothing. If you have an extra inning game like this one, the game can go on for extra innings anyways. A regular game ends in 9 innings.
    You can’t stop a game at a tie like soccer, unless because of weather, or the game goes a RIDICULOUS amount of extra innings. But you keep going extra innings until one team wins.

  • @RealDiehl99

    Until very recently baseball games could last a really loooong time. It was actually negatively affecting the amount of viewers who would sit and watch the game on television.
    Several rules changes were implemented over the past few years to speed up the pace of the game. A vast improvement (in my opinion)!

      @lovesgucci1 I was talking about MLB games in general.
      But yeah, I agree with you about this particular game. A late start time and extra innings was the reason it ended at such a late hour. It was actually played at a pretty fast pace considering it was around 10:45 in the bottom of the 8th. With an 8:35 start time that's not too bad!

    Most of Seal team 6 was later put on a helicopter and flown over enemy fighters and shot down-- all dead, all on purpose. They knew too much

      Each squadron has around 50 members. Gold squadron ( the one that killed Osama) lost 15 members in that crash. Most of gold teams members lived on.

    A thought today for the *4,502,996* people who died as a result of 9/11. 2,996 who died on the day. And the 4.5 million people, overwhelmingly civilians, who died in the US's senseless and illegal post 9/11 wars. Also please remember the 38 million refugees created by those w@rs.

    As an American who was mid 20’s when 9/11 occurred, I was embarrassed by the public reaction to the killing of Osama Bin Laden. I was proud of the brave men who did what had to be done. I was proud of Obama for making the call, and I felt that Justice was served in the only way possible. With all of that, I take no pride or pleasure in vengeance. I don’t look down on anyone for celebrating, but I didn’t feel proud or patriotic. We ended numerous lives and used unethical means to achieve it. It had to be done this way, but I am not proud of it and was embarrassed by the actions of millions that night. That wasn’t a good look and was a bit barbarous behavior, much like the enemy we were fighting. Again I am proud of our brave men who risked their lives to protect us from this terrible enemy, but I felt the manner of celebration was over the top.

    I once went to a baseball game that lasted until midnight. And it was the 4th of July so we didn’t end up getting home until like 1am

    You mentioned a documentary that had the falling man, was it this documentary? "The Falling Man 9/11 Documentary": ua-cam.com/video/E5pYsqfzlHk/v-deo.html
    I've watched it when it came out and it still saddens me.

      Although it is very sad, the other end of the spectrum is how Americans pulled together when needed.
