I was a baby, my mother has told me she watched this whilst i was in my moses basket, she was looking at me sleeping soundly with tears in her eyes thinking of all the lives lost that day in a country that was miles away from our little village in England, that day affected everyone.
I was a 22 year old mother of a baby boy. I couldn’t bear to watch any of it on the news because they were explicitly showing people jumping/falling to their deaths and it just felt so wrong to watch. The news programmes over the next few weeks were full of stories about survivors, people lost - so many missing people posters up around New York and you’d hear recordings of last phone calls made to loved ones. It was all so very heartbreaking. Ground zero was burning for 100 days after this and you’d see it each day on the news.
The most memorable day of the century by a mile. Remember watching much of this coverage all afternoon, before switching over to ITV to get their analysis after WTC 7 fell. News coverage interrupted terrestrial programming for the rest of the week. Extraordinary events, everyone was talking about it for weeks after.
More like years after all the conspiritard bullshit, basically the US security services were caught with their pants down, such a shame for all the lives lost and also i loved those towers
It's only the most memorable because its visible and that everyone was awake.People were sound asleep when the Democrats stole the 2020 election using the invisible man.
I had switched on my TV before leaving for an afternoon/evening shift - because I wanted to see how my shares were doing. On my dial-up internet, I had bought stocks for the very first time, and was gonna check on ceefax (even though it was for investment, not like day trading). I just stood there in the living room watching this “light plane collided with building” and the second plane hit. The tower collapsed by the time I reached work. And then, because of this, we had no work to do, we were just on standby, watching the coverage on the BBC “ring main”, listening to the gallery chatter and so on as well as the reports.
6:30 Maybe this shouldn't be a shock but it is strange seeing business continuing as usual at Heathrow Airport while everything on the other side of the Atlantic was shutdown.

@@davepowell7168 And you didn’t think. Which is why you can make no coherent argument, just childish aspersions.

He had also formally declared war on the United States. He often publicly declared, was the evil of western capitalism. This paralysed stock markets for days, a week in some cases. It also totally disrupted international travel and commerce, and still badly affected the US economy after their stockmarkets opened again. It permanently diminished US standing in the world and the trust of allies in its political management of Intelligence. This attack was meticulously planned and organized. Bin Laden had seasoned, professional military planners. It took a lot of money to send these guys to the states for months to get enough piloting under their belt to make that turn and descent. They had to be relatively well educated people with good enough English and enough nerve to work towards their own suicide for months - they had to have been carefully selected from a wide pool of people. They turned out to be a cosmopolitan bunch. To every adult who took any notice of world affairs (not many Americans, admittedly) it had Bin Laden fingerprints all over it.
I cannot or don't even want to describe just how traumatic and tragically devastating the September 11 attacks proved in the history of all living memory. Even when reaching 22 years since the tragedy happened, our minds still struggle to overcome this horrific ordeal and as always our thoughts are with those who either perished in the tragedy or continue to live through the awful incident.

It shouldn't have happened. If US domestic flights had had the same security arrangements as British domestic flights it wouldn't have taken place, because the UK had the same security for both domestic and international flights. The US didn't. It had laxer security for domestic flights.
It's no exaggeration to say that the world changed forever on that fateful day. It ranks with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the Assassination of JFK as defining moments in modern history. The shock of events that day and the fear of what would happen next. The new century had begun filled with hope after the fall of the Soviet Empire and the endif the Cold War. We barely drew breath and then 9/11 happened.
So true, i was 17 at the time just starting college . I remember the day of and the days , and weeks and months after were just full of disbelief, shock, fear and anger . Going through it we didn’t realize yet the change but post 9/11 everything did change .
The hope around the end of the cold war and the fall of the Soviet empire was really quite naive and poorly handled, especially by the US. That was a dawn that only existed if they put much more effort into it than they actually did. I'm not socialist, but I do appreciate the nuances and limitations of the market economy, especially a transition into a full market economy by a country that's new to it. The US is and was far too ready to believe its own internal political messaging and apply it boneheadedly elsewhere. The idea that the inherent rightness of capitalism would just take over the Russians would head into a sunlit upland was STUPID. Now I don't know whether America could have helped manage the situation simply by providing strong advice, given Russia was another country, but letting Russia just crash into capitalism with no mature systems, all the information asymmetry which the oligarchs could and DID take advantage of, was all a massive missed opportunity. Bullheaded idiots especially on the American Right thought it would be as simple as letting the market economy shine through. That led indirectly to Putin, and not the democracy they simplistically imagined it went hand-and-glove with. Root cause is that the American Right is permanently in denial (or minimisation) that the market economy while very good indeed does have some rough edges that need managing. America gets away with it because a) they have mature systems b) they actually do more regulation and economic management than the American Right likes to admit so they get to have their cake and eat it constantly criticising the existence of any government intervention while not actually abolishing it and seeing the real consequences. But they spend so long in the bubble of their rhetoric that it WOULD apparently be OK if they did (just the other side stops them actually fully doing it by their account) that to them 'yeah, Russia crashes into a relatively unregulated market economy, should be great'. Because they're so irresponsible that their own idealism comes first, and they lose sight of what they've actually proven in practice, vs their own right-wing talk.
Miscommunication. Everyone was hearing explosions, because of what was going on at the Pentagon and because of the sonic booms of jets. If you hear the sound of explosion near the State Department and couple that with information that the State Department was being evacuated, it is not difficult to jump to the wrong conclusion. Other networks were reporting about explosions from near the Supreme Court, as well. People's ability to identify the source of sounds is often very poor.
9/11 happened because of a simple but serious mistake by American airport security. The mistake was this: they had more lax security standards for domestic flights compared to international flights, whereas most other Western countries like the UK had the same stringent security arrangements for domestic and international flights. This mistake by the Americans didn't make sense, because a domestic flight is just as potentially dangerous as an international flight in terms of the way in which a plane might be used by terrorists. A plane flying from New York to Los Angeles has just as much potential for a terrorist as a plane flying from New York to Toronto. Therefore the security arrangements for domestic flights should have been just as stringent as those for international flights. The terrorists exploited this weakness. But if the Americans had sought outside security advice, for example from British security experts, those experts probably would have advised them about the mistake they were making, because other Western countries were not making this error. The British security experts would have said to the Americans: "Why do you have these different security arrangements for domestic flights? It doesn't make sense". Hopefully the Americans would have listened to this advice and changed the security arrangements for domestic flights. It's easy to say 9/11 would have happened anyway because they would have found another way to do it, but perhaps it wouldn't have happened.
People continue to disrespect the people in 911 the people that died, the people that suffered, and the people who helped the first responders, who helped basically want to find the people inside the rubble, which was a tumultuous task.
38:40 That stupid woman ‘commentator’ is wrong. I travelled to the US in 2000. Trust me the security that the United States applied pre 9/11 was quite good and strict. Travelling on a plane in America was never treated as casually as travelling on a bus like she says.
I would have to somewhat disagree. Personal security e.g. checking for explosives, maybe. But cockpit security, as across the rest of the world, was pretty lax. Also, remember that the hijackers brought aboard knives and fake explosive vests. They also had forged passports. So how was that allowed to happen?
@@kennyryan625 actually it wasn’t her who suggested that, but yes, she agreed to it. I was pretty young when 9/11 happened but my parents have discussed how lax security used to be. They’re talking about national flights. Maybe not the same as getting on a bus, but still, security wasn’t exactly tight.
Watching the second plane hit at 8:14 and them not noticing… I know it was live and what happened wasn’t clear at first originally we broadcast that it was a fire that had broken out not a plane.
@@dawnkindnesscountsmost5991 , you wrote "80 miles on a passenger jet is damn close; mere minutes away from DC." Yes. (Example: at 600 miles an hour, it's 8 minutes.) But the perspective for laymen watching TV news and interpreting the words "close to" between two places is not "How much time separates these places at the speed of a jetliner?" but "What linear distance separates them that I would normally describe with the word 'close' when I'm talking about a field and a camp?" People don't normally say that a field that is 80 miles from a camp is close to the camp. And Camp David is not in the District of Columbia: as the crow flies, 50 miles separate the nearest points of Camp David and D.C.
The exaggeration and inaccuracy of this reporting (e.g., Rob Waton's, from 35:32), compared with, for example, what ABC News and NPR News did on this day, are amazing. I tend to expect better of the BBC.
I mentioned in another video so can someone help: why on earth is Mr Edwards (the anchor) mentioning how airlines are saying “there are planes and accounted for” that’s total nonsense and rubbish journalism. The video info says this from the 7pm evening news (2pm) and by then the entire US airspace had been fully grounded for 2 hours….
I wonder if funding for the IRA was impacted by this? The Yanks funded the "troubles" resulting in the loss of 3,600 lives - terrorists killing thousands for a "cause" - once the Yanks experienced it first hand, still a noble cause?
A whatabouism comment at its most obnoxious. A very minute number of Americans sent money in the 80s just as loyalists in Canada sent $ to support the other side. And America sure wasn’t funding the British Royal Army, prick.
How naive of you. There is still funding coming from the likes of New York and Boston for the Real Ira and the continuity Ira - do you honestly think every fenian terrorist got behind the good Friday agreement?
RIP all the people lost their lives. i remember watching this like it was yesterday, i had actually visited NYC the week before and flew back on the 9th September to Paris as i was doing some European travel before returning back to London. i was watching this in my hotel room overlooking the Eiffel tower and wondering what the wtc was? I had seen the towers but i knew it as the twin towers. didn't realise until i switch the TV on on this is what i was presented with. there were no flights on the 11th and 12th September and i remember travelling by train to Rome on the 12th September . I remember that weekend people in Rome were just going around like nothing had happened, business as usual and the nightclubs especially. I then returning back to London on the Sunday, because I had work the next day.
It was, the flimsy trusses sagged and pulled in the walls leading to a progressive collapse. Had columns been more evenlynspread out the tower would have stood and the fire eventually extinguished. It seems the fires brought them down in addition to the damage caused.
I was at work some where on the Island only when i needed to be in that office. no over head---nothing. My boss (from equador) hooked up an old radio and matter of factly said a plane just hit the tower I wasn't until lunch that I learned the truth from my nut jobs nephew (he was normal)
When people want a response, it was absolutely unbelievable. What people could come up with the came out with all sorts of ways of expressing their satisfaction with government and timely response to it, but the government basically decided to learn from these attacks and study, and obviously learned the lessons from these attacks, and how that came about People are wondering how that was all just a matter of time before it came to conclusion where people really wanted something done about these terrorists 10:40.
2:20:30 "Make no mistake, the USA will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts". George W. Bush after disembarking from Air Force One where he bravely spent the day fleeing from danger as firefighters risked and lost their lives in the World Trade Center.
I don’t think he had a choice that day. The security didn’t want him to go back and they almost didn’t let him go back for the entire night but he insisted. Not a bush fan but there are plenty of accurate things to attack bush on without descending into inaccuracy!
I don’t like George Bush but what exactly was he supposed to do? The Secret Service made their number 1 goal to protect him that day, which called for him to hopscotch to different bases around the country
lol that's why he's the president and they're firefighters .. we all got our roles .. he's not gonna go down to ground zero or anywhere that's a possible war zone when you have no clue where anyone is, including the bad guys .. he can't perform his duties if he's dead or maimed
As said above he didn't have much choice. If JFK were alive he'd of been in the same boat. Bush actually wanted to go back to Washington, his security kept putting it off because of the Pentagon attack. In the end he lost his cool with them and demanded he go back there to address the nation. The original plan was to keep him away for days, but in his words he "wasn't going to address the nation from a bunker"
“When a big building collapses, it shouldn’t look like a big building collapsing, it should look like a big building collapsing, because I know exactly how a big building should look when it collapses, because I’ve seen so many really, really big building collapsing after being hit by wide bodied airliners.” 🙄😖
Some people believe the bbc had prior knowledge about the attacks and were part of the 'inside job'. They think there were no planes and the towers were bombed from inside and the planes were digitally added to all the videos later, by the media i guess?! Who knows what else goes on in the minds of these people. Scary.
26:45 he says it was like a skip full of rubbish. This clearly means it was a skip full of rubbish planted by George w bush, a controlled demolition instigating skip full of rubbish
Yeah, it's called a "flub" or "slip of tongue" When one thinks of an explosion, one immediately thinks bomb. And seeing how fast pace the news was that day, it's very understandable that it happened out of instinct. Any other time a news program is doing their nightly/morning shows, they have cue-cards
Brenda’s womb swallowed Walt whole slowly digesting him giving her body rich excellent protein and nutrients her womb let out massive belches then finally a frightened moan when Walt was completely finished now nothingness in her body
1:08:49 why would broadcast the president's location if this whole thing is real ? although it makes sense in that it's harmless if you believe the gov was in on it
@James Travis that, and the President will 100% have ridiculous levels of security at any point in time. Those films where the Secret Service are overrun? Yeah, that’s not happening. In fact, during the attacks, there was footage taken of the secret service grabbing AA stingers as a just in case, meaning they’re stacked.
What narrative? Whether or not Bin Laden was the perpetrator and ringleader or not, it was the worst attack in U.S. history. There is absolutely zero disputing this.

Was there an attack at the state department? 28:36
Or was this miscommunication?
Miscommunication. Everyone was hearing explosions, because of what was going on at the Pentagon and because of the sonic booms of jets. If you hear the sound of explosion near the State Department and couple that with information that the State Department was being evacuated, it is not difficult to jump to the wrong conclusion. Other networks were reporting about explosions from near the Supreme Court, as well. People's ability to identify the source of sounds is often very poor.
9/11 happened because of a simple but serious mistake by American airport security. The mistake was this: they had more lax security standards for domestic flights compared to international flights, whereas most other Western countries like the UK had the same stringent security arrangements for domestic and international flights. This mistake by the Americans didn't make sense, because a domestic flight is just as potentially dangerous as an international flight in terms of the way in which a plane might be used by terrorists. A plane flying from New York to Los Angeles has just as much potential for a terrorist as a plane flying from New York to Toronto. Therefore the security arrangements for domestic flights should have been just as stringent as those for international flights. The terrorists exploited this weakness. But if the Americans had sought outside security advice, for example from British security experts, those experts probably would have advised them about the mistake they were making, because other Western countries were not making this error. The British security experts would have said to the Americans: "Why do you have these different security arrangements for domestic flights? It doesn't make sense". Hopefully the Americans would have listened to this advice and changed the security arrangements for domestic flights. It's easy to say 9/11 would have happened anyway because they would have found another way to do it, but perhaps it wouldn't have happened.
how plane can fly on this level and for that speed !?

The day the world changed
The BBC has changed a lot since then.
31:40 when rudy was respected
before he was outed as a creep, you mean.
Turned out a shit human being
He's ruined his own legacy.
People continue to disrespect the people in 911 the people that died, the people that suffered, and the people who helped the first responders, who helped basically want to find the people inside the rubble, which was a tumultuous task.
What Time Did You Record?
Que Horas began coverage of 5 Hours in Front in Washington Time and London here in Brazil is Four Hours in Front.
Lesson to humankind: never show up to work early.
38:40 That stupid woman ‘commentator’ is wrong. I travelled to the US in 2000. Trust me the security that the United States applied pre 9/11 was quite good and strict. Travelling on a plane in America was never treated as casually as travelling on a bus like she says.
I agree. I remember that even back in the 1990s the US had stricter airport security than you would find in Europe
I would have to somewhat disagree. Personal security e.g. checking for explosives, maybe. But cockpit security, as across the rest of the world, was pretty lax. Also, remember that the hijackers brought aboard knives and fake explosive vests. They also had forged passports. So how was that allowed to happen?
@@laurenanderson7330 Aviation security in the US was never as relaxed as travelling on a bus, as the dumb woman suggests
@@kennyryan625 actually it wasn’t her who suggested that, but yes, she agreed to it. I was pretty young when 9/11 happened but my parents have discussed how lax security used to be. They’re talking about national flights. Maybe not the same as getting on a bus, but still, security wasn’t exactly tight.
seriously man she is just reading from a bulletin, she may as well be a robot voice, would make no diff
2:55:36 - BBC News at 10
And the world economy still has not recovered.
Watching the second plane hit at 8:14 and them not noticing… I know it was live and what happened wasn’t clear at first originally we broadcast that it was a fire that had broken out not a plane.
I remember watching that BBC broadcast live, I was shouting at the screen, "open your fking eyes"
@@WoolybackBoy ua-cam.com/video/rD-R_fAE9MM/v-deo.html
It would of been a repeat footage as the headline already says terror attack. Nobody news was saying terrorism before the second plane.
This was coverage from 7pm UK time onwards, well after the planes hit the towers. It was most definitely a replay.
2:20:08. "crashed into a field close to Camp David". If you call 80 miles as the crow flies "close".
In America, that is damn close.
80 miles on a passenger jet is damn close; mere minutes away from DC.
@@dawnkindnesscountsmost5991 , you wrote "80 miles on a passenger jet is damn close; mere minutes away from DC."
Yes. (Example: at 600 miles an hour, it's 8 minutes.) But the perspective for laymen watching TV news and interpreting the words "close to" between two places is not "How much time separates these places at the speed of a jetliner?" but "What linear distance separates them that I would normally describe with the word 'close' when I'm talking about a field and a camp?" People don't normally say that a field that is 80 miles from a camp is close to the camp.
And Camp David is not in the District of Columbia: as the crow flies, 50 miles separate the nearest points of Camp David and D.C.
The exaggeration and inaccuracy of this reporting (e.g., Rob Waton's, from 35:32), compared with, for example, what ABC News and NPR News did on this day, are amazing. I tend to expect better of the BBC.
This is the same BBC that reported that building 7 had collapsed when it was clearly standing right behind the reporter.
I mentioned in another video so can someone help: why on earth is Mr Edwards (the anchor) mentioning how airlines are saying “there are planes and accounted for” that’s total nonsense and rubbish journalism. The video info says this from the 7pm evening news (2pm) and by then the entire US airspace had been fully grounded for 2 hours….

I wonder if funding for the IRA was impacted by this? The Yanks funded the "troubles" resulting in the loss of 3,600 lives - terrorists killing thousands for a "cause" - once the Yanks experienced it first hand, still a noble cause?
It was over three years before this mate, the Good Friday Agreement
A whatabouism comment at its most obnoxious. A very minute number of Americans sent money in the 80s just as loyalists in Canada sent $ to support the other side. And America sure wasn’t funding the British Royal Army, prick.
Good Friday peace agreement was in 1998, lol.
Goofy comment
How naive of you. There is still funding coming from the likes of New York and Boston for the Real Ira and the continuity Ira - do you honestly think every fenian terrorist got behind the good Friday agreement?
Too bad the Bush admin wasn't reading their security reports.
Huws trousers came down also
RIP all the people lost their lives. i remember watching this like it was yesterday, i had actually visited NYC the week before and flew back on the 9th September to Paris as i was doing some European travel before returning back to London. i was watching this in my hotel room overlooking the Eiffel tower and wondering what the wtc was? I had seen the towers but i knew it as the twin towers. didn't realise until i switch the TV on on this is what i was presented with. there were no flights on the 11th and 12th September and i remember travelling by train to Rome on the 12th September . I remember that weekend people in Rome were just going around like nothing had happened, business as usual and the nightclubs especially. I then returning back to London on the Sunday, because I had work the next day.
Ás 15 Horas no Horário de Brasília aqui no Brasil.
Interesting to note...how they explain the exterior walls of the towers carry the load for the buildings. Seems that was the fatal flaw here.
It was, the flimsy trusses sagged and pulled in the walls leading to a progressive collapse. Had columns been more evenlynspread out the tower would have stood and the fire eventually extinguished. It seems the fires brought them down in addition to the damage caused.

When people want a response, it was absolutely unbelievable. What people could come up with the came out with all sorts of ways of expressing their satisfaction with government and timely response to it, but the government basically decided to learn from these attacks and study, and obviously learned the lessons from these attacks, and how that came about People are wondering how that was all just a matter of time before it came to conclusion where people really wanted something done about these terrorists 10:40.

2:20:30 "Make no mistake, the USA will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts". George W. Bush after disembarking from Air Force One where he bravely spent the day fleeing from danger as firefighters risked and lost their lives in the World Trade Center.
I don’t think he had a choice that day. The security didn’t want him to go back and they almost didn’t let him go back for the entire night but he insisted. Not a bush fan but there are plenty of accurate things to attack bush on without descending into inaccuracy!
didnt rlly have any choice tbf mate
I don’t like George Bush but what exactly was he supposed to do? The Secret Service made their number 1 goal to protect him that day, which called for him to hopscotch to different bases around the country
lol that's why he's the president and they're firefighters .. we all got our roles .. he's not gonna go down to ground zero or anywhere that's a possible war zone when you have no clue where anyone is, including the bad guys .. he can't perform his duties if he's dead or maimed
As said above he didn't have much choice. If JFK were alive he'd of been in the same boat. Bush actually wanted to go back to Washington, his security kept putting it off because of the Pentagon attack. In the end he lost his cool with them and demanded he go back there to address the nation. The original plan was to keep him away for days, but in his words he "wasn't going to address the nation from a bunker"
No sound!

Lmao I don’t get what you’re trying to imply. He made a simple mistake…
Some people believe the bbc had prior knowledge about the attacks and were part of the 'inside job'. They think there were no planes and the towers were bombed from inside and the planes were digitally added to all the videos later, by the media i guess?! Who knows what else goes on in the minds of these people. Scary.
Well yeah, this was breaking news. They didn't know what was happening.
26:45 he says it was like a skip full of rubbish. This clearly means it was a skip full of rubbish planted by George w bush, a controlled demolition instigating skip full of rubbish
First 40 seconds he said bomb
Yeah, it's called a "flub" or "slip of tongue" When one thinks of an explosion, one immediately thinks bomb. And seeing how fast pace the news was that day, it's very understandable that it happened out of instinct.
