Agreed! I’ve watched the towers being hit many times yet every time it’s like watching it for the first time. It was unbelievable - so audacious and so tragic 😢
my boyfriends mom worked in the north tower. her boss told her to stay, but she said HELLLLL no and ran right out. thankfully she was floors below the impact. she ran all the way to queens. she passed away in 2018 from lung cancer and was never able to return to battery park or near ground zero…she was traumatized for life. she also couldn’t sleep without tv.
ive heard of how workers were told to stay in the south tower after the north tower was hit, but that all changed after the south tower was hit. telling people to stay in the NORTH TOWER after it was hit is absolutely crazy
I was 22, just coming home from school and was glued to the TV as CNN covered the whole story here in southern Germany. I will never forget the horrors that unfolded in front of our eyes, 24years later I am still deeply touched by the events on that day and what followed since then. I work in ATC for almost 20years now and hope I will never experience such a devastating situation with one A/C in my career. The day that changed the world and especially the aviation will never be forgotten - no matter where you live on earth. May god bless you all. Thank you for taking your time.❤
I was a newly promoted sgt in the NYPD. I was in training that morning at the NYPD's outdoor firearms training range in the city island section of the Bronx (rodmans neck ). It was a beautiful morning. Everything changed. We mobilized to Stuyvesant high school. It was pure hell. The days, weeks, and months in the aftermath will live in my soul forever. We continue to suffer due to the toxic exposure we all endured from the pile. I salute all my fellow first responders. I salute all the victims on that day. You will never be forgotten. Robert S. Ret. NYPD
Bonsoir Sergent. Je suis liée indirectement à ce drame horrible, pour avoir rêvée 15 jours avant les faits, tout de la Tour WTC1,.. Dans ce rêve prémonitoire, j étais un aigle royal, et j atteste sur l honneur , Dieu et les Anges en sont temoin, d avoir tout vu du déroulement de cette tour, jusqu'à l effondrement. Depuis, tous les mois de septembre , je suis en Deuil National, pour toutes les vies Americaines.. Mon.coeur saigne, et le traumatisme est toujours présent.. L autre cauchemard que je fais, et de me voir dans la tour wtc1 qui s effondre..sous mes pieds .. Je sais ce qu'on vécu les victimes.. Que Dieu les accueillent au Paradis.. Et pas les terroristes, qui sont en.ENFER.
From an LEO in UK, you and your colleagues have my ultimate respect. Many of my close colleagues dealt with Lockerbie and I know how much that affected them and it’s nothing compared to the scale of this. 😢
I’m in a weird spot today because I am 30 years old and remember details of that morning so vividly. My coworkers, on the other hand, were barely 3 year old and 1 wasn’t even born yet so they have no memories like I do. It’s the same with my siblings, all of them were born in 2002/2003.
My 13yr old son told me today, I have watched so many documentation and even interviews with survivors, new Yorkers and family mamber. Many videos over the years, he feels like he was there. He feels the emotions too. Made me proud of his empathetic maturity but also sad he feels that!
I was a British Flight Attendant visiting my now late mother in York the day of the attacks. The two of us and my sister sat glued to the TV screen watching the horrendous events unfold. It’s a day I will never, ever, forget 😢🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
I was 16, Massachusetts, sitting in English class, my teacher turned on the TV and the class went silent. It was frightening. Everytime an airplane passes, I think of that day.
@@bloodflower2141 Why? The area of danger was a small area around Lower Manhattan. For those who watched it on TV the shock was as real and fully felt wherever people were in the world.
I’m Dutch and we were on holiday in Napels, Florida on 9/11. I remember that my wife and me went to breakfast and saw everbody gathered around the TV instead of sitting at the tables. The first thing we saw was that a plane fly in the WTC, with the ticker “America under attack”, It was horrible. I can remember every minute of that day vividly. I never gonna forget it. Our holiday was extended by two weeks because of the no fly descision. Then we could fly home, It was scary…
You know a Dutch architect said the twin towers were part of a 100% demolition setup. No way...1000% no way they fell from the planes he said. Months later this architect had an unusual car crash and died. Watch the truth and share it with all those who need to see what their country will do to itself. ua-cam.com/video/5MScHbiSAes/v-deo.html Fck Bush!!!
I got woken out of a heavy sleep by my wife in the morning after working a graveyard shift. I remember it like it was yesterday, can still see the sun coming thru the windows as we sat there shocked and watched the news. I remember how quiet it was with no planes in the air after. The world changed forever that day.
Respect....feel free to paint out the experience.....there's no words to describe it tho I could explain and talk and remember that day forever exactly how you just touched on.. Respect 2 all people love you Americans
Especially in America, you don't really think about all the aircraft in the sky... until they're not there anymore. For those of us living far from the tragedy, that might have been the most noticeable part.
Same here in the uk I had worked a long 12 hour night shift and got home at 10am then went straight to sleep around a few hours later my brother burst in to tell me something bad had happened in New York by the time I got myself up and sorted I came downstairs at the exact moment the 2nd plane hit the south tower,my dad had died a few months earlier and my mum was away in Tenerife at the time,me and my brother just sat there in stunned silence for the next half hour or so,the silence was broken by my friend calling me as he’d just gone on his lunch break and had seen what was happening,we had been due to go to new York on the 21st September and very quickly realised that we would not be going now,then went back to watching the news with my brother and couldn’t believe it when the news came in about the pentagon and then United 93 crashing we wondered why the hell was next was this just the start of something even bigger,would the uk be a target how many more planes were hikacked in the USA!! I think evey thought possible went through our heads and it didn’t seem like it could be any worse until we saw the south tower go down and that just was horrible to see knowing thousands could have been in the building including fire, police,ambulance workers,even now I didn’t expect to see the north tower fall as well I hoped it would stand tall still but it fell as well. I’ll never forget 9/11 as long as I live and couldn’t imagine what being in that situation would be like until I happened to be in London on a job interview on July 7th 2005 it’s only by sheer luck and determination to not be late I avoided being on one of the trains that I would have been on had I gotten the next train to London and subsequently been on the underground train heading to Aldgate from Liverpool Street then I might not be here now. Rest in peace to all those who died on 9/11 and 7/7 and praise the heroes of United 93 who saved more life’s by acting selflessly 🇺🇸🇬🇧
My mom worked on the 96th floor of the North Tower. Thank God she was transferred out in 1992. She later learned some of her coworkers did not make it out.
My cousin worked there for a few years but she was back home she knew a lot of people that died and it took her a long time to get over it she was going to a wedding a few weeks later but the girl was killed in it
Larry Silverstein 🇮🇱 (owner of WTC complex) said - "Pull it, and we made the decision to pull and we watched the building collapse" - referring to WTC 7 - not hit by planes. "We are benefiting from one thing and that's the attack on 911" - Benjamin Netanyahu 🇮🇱
I am a South African and was driving home from work when I heard on my car radio that a plane had crashed into the Twin Towers. I rushed home and switched the TV to CNN. The horror and sadness of pure madness unfolded in my living room. From across the oceans we gasped in unbelievability. What devastation! The events of 911 consumed me since then. I read every article, watched every documentary, and screened every video within my reach. The loss and suffering of so many is inconceivable. 23 years later the events of that unprecedented moment still haunt the soul.
Imagine how the people in Japan felt when hit with atom bombs people vaporized total.destruction of the cities mass murder innocent civilians Permanent chromosome damage that was passed on Hundreds I'd thousands lives in a flash.boom gone 9 11 wS a horror show here in NYC but we've been.very destructive also Vietnam These things l learned about plus WW11 and Germany and what Hitler did across Europe they are unbelievable and still no one learns Vladimir Putin is a Monster invading the Ukraine and forcing Russians almost 70 years old and teenagers forced to pick up guns or they'll be PUNISHED 💀 So no one learns These Leaders These masters of War ✌ to you no warning
Since you've watched ''every documentary'', can you please explain how building 7 collapsed into its own footprint due to relatively small office fires? C'mon people, wake up! 🙄 SMH
I was 9 yrs old kid at that time, I'm an Indian and I can't forget we all in our home was watching news all day. It was a horrific terrorist activity. May all who lost their lives RIP. Still fresh in my memory, can't believe something can happen like this.
I had just given birth to my daughter and watched it all unfold from the special baby care unit 😞 I questioned what world I had brought my baby girl into and still do to this day do.
Think of all the women that day having babies and especially those women having babies at that time In the nearest hospital To Ground Zero think about that for a second🤔
As a Black male, her messages depressed me to mental hell, because I hated that Betty Ong, the flight crew, passengers, and office workers were killed and injured in all 4 places. What the real hell happened on September 11, 2001, with my knowledge that they died. Since I have no one killed related to me, the tragedies come up front, close, and in my "damned" face.
I live in Australia, and I remember that day vividly. For some unknown reason, I woke up at about 3am Australia time and could not get back to sleep. Eventually, out of frustration, I got out of bed, went up to our living room and turned on the television, something I had never done before at this time, (and never since). At first I thought “What movie is this? It took a few minutes before I realized that this was not a movie! I raced up to our bedroom and woke my wife. Together, we watched the horrific devastation taking place right in front of us. This is something that we will never forget. Our hearts go out to those who lost family members. Stay safe.
I lived in Florida at the time, in middle school. we got put under lockdown and the teachers didn't tell us what was going on. Half the school had kids checked out by their parents and the principle called it an early release day after lunch. When I got home my sister was watching a replay of the events. I also thought it was a movie she was watching, but she was crying and said it wasn't a movie. That realization hit me like a punch to the gut. It really is true what they say about that day. You never forget where you were and what you were doing.
I know exactly the feeling man. At this time I was a kid in Sydney and I woke up also around 3am to my mother crying and speaking quite loudly watching the TV - I looked over and I saw that all channel schedules were diverted to live coverage of this. I remember seeing people jumping out of the windows of the world trade centre and not being able to comprehend that it was actually real/not a movie or something - right when it was about to click mentally my mum took me back to bed
In UK, i woke up and got ready to go to work. I knew something was seriously wrong, but I had no idea what. I just knew. I had the nagging bad feeling all the way to work, but didn't know why. When I got to work, I saw this on TV and it clicked into place. I had to do my job regardless. Thankfully, it was a quite day. When I got home I put the TV on and was glued to it for hours.
On that day, I had just woken up, very pregnant and waiting for my due date to give birth. I had just taken maternity leave front work days prior. I got a call from my husband who was at work about the towers being hit. I was so confused and couldn’t process for a bit. I then turned on the TV and saw the terrifying images. I froze and suddenly started having contractions. For days afterward until giving birth to my daughter on 9/24, I was anxious, depressed, restless and couldn’t relax. I eventually named my daughter a Lao name which means “Peace” as it reflected my mindset and desire during that time. To this day, I can never forget.
I wonder this. Why didn't these planes have a remote emergency control to prevent this sort of thing when they suspected a hijacking like that? The technology existed at the time.
@@XHALE3033000 immediate deaths (still a horrendous number) but in reality the deaths that spiralled from this are in the hundreds of thousands over the globe.
President bush was behind it all beefing with saudis and the gas an oil taxes gas was high as hell around that time I was a gas station worker at the shell gas station it was wild it’s crazy how they got that close to us because of the government so obvious bush was behind it when they walked in the classroom to give him the word about what had happened he had a meeting with them an it didn’t go well not to long before this happened an they told him as he walked off to get on the plane at the airport overseas ….they yelled out 911 an he ignored them an took off well there you go America
I was 12 when i saw this live in France. That was my child dream to visit NY and the WTC. Since that day, i cry every year on september 11. Today I am a proud flight attendant and i will never ever forget that day and all those innocents who lost their life....
@@Jan-jo2hp dude what? japan had committed some of the worst crimes against humanity ever seen, even making Nazi agents sick (even though they were just as bad)
I was 10 and also heard it from France. My dad was working in Manhattan that day and was supposed to take a flight back to France a few days later. It was a stressful moment for our family. We are lucky enough that he was not too close to the WTC. Good for you for being a flight attendant!
Whenever I hear or watch anything about the attacks on America or the so-called event "9-11," I really go out of a sane mind. Yes, I would be sick in the head.
A well edited, well resourced, well narrated documentary which will serve as a valuable visual record forever. The intelligence failures that enabled this event to occur should never be repeated.
GET OVER IT and move on.People go all the time-we cant just keep repeating these events every year as if nothing worse has ever happened.Cry me a river
@@KingoftheRoad-2023So because other tragedies happen through the years , no one’s allowed to feel certain ways about the ones they’ve lived through . That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever read .
I was 31 yrs old and at my day job in Jersey when the news broke. I immediately left work, picked up my child at daycare, and went to my parents home. My pager went off requesting all available volunteer EMS to report to their stations. Ours and many other ambulances lined up across the bay that day waiting to cross over the bridge to help the injured survivors but unfortunately there wasn’t many injured survivors to help. 😔 A very very difficult day in our Nations history.
I was building the show house on the site of my old high school . The site manager came in and told us . I called my wife who had finished early that day and was on her way home . I took left early and together we sat glued to our TV in shock and horror . We live in Scotland in the UK . It also turns out , that we were in Florida on honeymoon not far from where Jarrah and Atta trained to fly at the same time we were there .
Thank you for being ready to help. I know Robin Williams was one of the first to donate blood. Nov 9 (9-11 reversed) 96 we flew from Orlando to Cleveland on an emergency flight as my mom was passing away from cancer. Our layover was in jersey - right across a bit from the trade centers. I tried to show the kids the statue of liberty but I couldn't leave the trade centers. Sadly we'll never see it again.
I was young, 21 years of age, living in South Africa. When I say everything was different that day......... I didn't know what the Twin Towers were. I didn't know what terrorism was. But by the end of the day, I knew of all of the above and the collapse of people's lives that came with that terrorist attack. Heart breaking to this day.
I was 23 when this happened. I remember my Mom calling me and telling me to turn on the news, and what I saw left me shaken to the core. I sat on the floor of my living room and watched with tears in my eyes. 23 years later I am still shaken whenever I see footage, especially now, knowing there is far more to this tragedy that may never be fully known. RIP to all those who lost their lives due to this tragedy.
We thought we had a double tragedy that day. Thank GOD for His intervention.. My nephew was to be on Flight 77. He changed it at the last moment but didn't tell anyone. He always stopped by his parents house and put the flight info on the fridge. We were in a panic. Finally he called to check on everyone. My cousin's husband was a AF LTC and scheduled for a mtg at the Pentagon on 9/11. He arrived and was told because of the ongoing construction at the Pentagon, they had to change the location. He left about 20 minutes before the flight hit. We thank GOD every year for His never-ending blessings and miracles.
I watch documentaries like this every year on the anniversary of this horrible day. I will never forget, until my dying breath. God bless the survivors, families of the fallen, the first responders, and America.
Same here. It's our service to teach the next generation about what happened and how terror looks like, so it will not happen to our children and grandchildren. I am writing it as a terror survivour myself. Never Again!
I just met my girlfriend,Skye a week and a half before,she flew to the East Coast on 9/9/01 ....all flights were grounded,I drove across the country on 9/12/01 ....we are still together to this day
My mother in law flew out of Boston for San Jose on the morning of the 11th! She was grounded somewhere in the midwest, I don't remember where. Over the next few days she tried to board 2 different planes but panicked and backed out. My husband and his brother were loading up the car to drive to get her when she called and told us she was on a plane, sitting in a seat, and committed to taking the flight. It was just a surreal time...
Singaporean here. Doing my National Service back then and just sent my girlfriend, now wife, home when the news broke live footage on the TV, on my way home via the bus (10pm Singapore time). Then, I was worried, is the world at war? If yes, against whom? It's the time of the year (again) and yes, 23 years, it still hurts/haunts me when the images of the 2nd plane crashing into the south tower and the (more impactful) "falling" man flashes through my mind abruptly from time to time.
I woke up before the second tower got plane crashed. Another tough night of playing pinball all day long until 6:00am that day. I woke up early that day.
I remember this day as clearly as all of you. In fact, i think its my first memory. I was born on 9/11/1996. I woke up on my 5th birthday all excited. I walked through streamers in my door way that my mother had put up overnight. I walked down the hall and into the living and i remember being very confused why everyone was crying. I looked at the TV and even at 5 years old i understood to some extent. My parents turned the TV off and we spent the whole day in the backyard as a family. I could tell they were devastated.
Betty Ong may you be at peace now you lovely lovely soul & strong brave lady. May the Lord shine his light of love on you dear Betty & all your loved ones always. You are loved♥
If the "lord" is capable of shining his love on her why didn't he intervene and stop the slaughter? Your "lord" is either all powerful and evil - watching devastation but doesn't intervene - impotent or a figment of man's imagination - I go for the latter.
I was 15 years old in Spanish class. A student aid came in and said a plane hit the building. We all laughed that it was some stupid pilot in some prop plane. When we made it to our next class, our teacher had the TV on and we were horrified. We watched the buildings come down. May we never forget the victims of this heartbreaking and terrifying day.
I was in jail I. Hmp Liverpool,,I thought the inmates were on drugs when I heard of this terrible day,,it was two days later when it hit me that these inmates were not on drugs it still brings tears to my eyes when I watch programmes on the 9,11 God bless USA...Rip those who gave there lives on this horrible day
Who's here 9/11/24? Every year on 9/11 I watch as many remembrance video's from this most tragic day, as I pray for all the souls lost from that attack on our nation, all the men and woman who served and fought, some sacrificed all to defend our nation. Pray for the families left behind in pain from their loss. Pray for all suffrring and lost over the past 23 years. Some from health issues caused by the inhalation of debris, ash from numerous sources and smoke for weeks after the falling of the towers. Some lost due to over stricken with grief, PTSD, Depression and thier fight to live! Prayers to all those who still haven't been able to recover thier loved ones. And to the survivors from the towers and the pentagon who suffer survivors guilt, emotional, mental and physical pain and disabilities! I say to you all, I will never forget and I wish I could say the name of every soul lost that day, but I do try to find stories about every single person I haven't heard every year. I try to know just anything about as many as I can. My heart is with you all!!!
Every anniversary of 9/11 i stop and have a moment of silence and then pray to the lord for the victims. And i pray for the innocent Iraqis and American soldiers that died so we can bring the evil monsters to justice
I lived close to the WTC. On this morning I was in my bathroom, getting ready for work, the door to my deck was open and I heard these two bangs I will never forget. Then I walked out to my deck and saw what happened to the North tower. At this point neighbors were on the street talking about an airplane hitting the WTC. I asked "A Cessna or something?" "No, a commercial airliner". At this moment my stomach turned and I got dizzy. Then I called my boss, telling him "John, I am not coming to work today, a plane just hit the World Trade Center", and his response was "Yeah right, when did this happen?" He thought it was a lame excuse - I didn't care. And this was just the beginning of that day...
Here on September 11th, 2024. As a Canadian who was a kid at the time, I don't remember everything about that day, but I will never forget seeing the coverage of the Towers. Living in Southern Ontario and living along the 401 corridor, known as the Highway of Heroes, this day changed so much for not just the United States but for our country and the whole world. I am glad every year it is still being discussed. I feel like there are too many natural disasters that unless you were impacted by them get forgotten. I understand this was not a natural disaster but as the years pass, the impact is not lost all these years later and that is something I appreciate. Come From Away musical has allowed Canadian's to tell their experiences in a different way and not taking away from any American. But being attached to the States, we truly felt the impact here. I have never been able to visit the monument but I think often about the kids who grew up without parents because of this day. Listening to their speeches at the first or second anniversary when they spoke. Growing up without a parent or loved one because of this day. But knowing just how many firefighters and first responders were all true heroes that day and the weeks to come. As a Canadian I may not have dual citizenship, but I gave my voice and full support to extending the bill for families and victims of 9/11. I'm glad the money and resources were extended because trauma is life long, it doesn't have an end date and should always show appreciation to all involved. Just know to all of the victims families my heart thinks of you often, not just in this day. But as I get older thinking about all of those kids growing up without a parent. Having your loved one no longer here with you as your life continues on, just know they are never forgotten. I'm sorry I don't know all of their individual names but my heart has always been with you from that day in 2001. Hugs to you all and I know I will never forget.
Watch the Mega documentary from National Geographic ❤ Never seen footage and stories of people who survived and everyday heroic stories of people who risked their lives and people who witnessed the jumpers but never took pictures out of respect
I am german and had a day off. I was at home and turned TV on as I heard at the radio a plane hit WTC. I watched the second plane flying in the south tower. I will never forget this day and how we all were deeply shocked...
Every September I watch as many 9/11 documentaries as I can. It’s so easy as humans to forget and move on but we must Never Forget. May God Bless the victims, their families and all those affected by the horrors of that day. 🙏🏻✝️
It truly changed the entire world, this happened 10 days after my 1st birthday. But my mum told me I was sat playing with my toys while she was watching it on the tv unfold right in front of her eyes and watched the second plane crash into the second building, she said she looked me at me being all happy and sat there wondering what world she has brought me into, we live in England. The gravity of what happened is insane
Moving. I was in mid town when it happened. I will never ....ever ...forget that day. I sit in tears, here in my safe home, 23 years later.. My 11 year old son wants to know what happened that day. I have told him small parts of the story. But when he gets a little older, he will watch this video and I will take him to ground zero. One of the worst days in our countries life. For 6 months after life in the city was very different. We all felt united against a common enemy. People were kinder and more patient. Everyday when I took the subway to work, we could smell the death in the subway cars. The world will never be the same.
indeed, it will remain a dark day but what about the children of Afghanistan had to do with that? 9/11 has nothing to do with Islam nor any other religion and it was inside job everyone knows.
But WHY on earth is this video appearing 23 years later on September the 3rd ? Will you tell your son that this triggered a war in Afghanistan that was totally unjustified and has been proven to be so ?
A day the world will never forget. I remember my husband getting home from work and waking me up at 11.30pm (I’m in Australia). We sat up all night,glued to the tv,in total shock. On a previous trip to the US I was lucky enough to visit the Twin Towers….a memory I will never forget.
That's why many people don't know what actually happened that day, because they were glued to the fake news TV. Here in Britain at least one TV news channel reported that tower seven had fell one hour before it actually did. We were also shown the original footage of the first tower exploding from different angles but there were definitely no planes on that footage. The planes only appeared on the footage later.
23 years later and it's still as emotional now as it was then. I am 64 and in the UK and two dates I will never forget where I was/what I was doing. 11/9/01 and 31/8/97 (death of Diana). RIP ❤
@@margretsims1322 Wow! This day before Queen Elizabeth’s death, I had a promotion on it that Woody.EXE texted me and i rushed home immediately. He had a very grim look on him telling me something was wrong and the Queen’s death was it
I'm from South Africa. I can still remember each detail of that day. I worked in the Heathway Center, Johannesburg North. A customer walked in and told us the news about the 1st plane. We locked up shop and went upstairs to Stax. That's where we saw the second plane hit. It still feels unreal and shock to this day.
I have 20 years of service as a flight attendant with AA. I work Sept 11th every year. It’s never easy. We knowingly place your lives in front of our own when we attempt to save you and your loved ones in an emergency. Please be kind to us.
I was 7 when this happened. Early afternoon in Germany, I just got home from school with my sister - all the adults we knew suddenly turned to something close to panic, frantically gathering around the TV. My sister and I weren't understanding it at first, just going about our days as young school children do - but when I passed by the TV, in the worst possible moment - the second tower getting hit by a plane, broadcast live on TV - that one got me. I somehow knew this wasn't a movie or anything, most likely through how my grandparents reacted. My father, a worker of national security, did not return home that night. I remember vividly the day after the talk he had with my sister and I - that not all humans mean well and are accepting of each other. That was my first encounter with terrorism and human error in terms of treating another. My 7-year-old innocent world view died that day. I can not imagine how hard it must have been for anyone to lose someone to this.
Where in Germany? This terrrorists AL Qaeda cell was indoctrinated in Hamburg, Germany. in the "Al Aqsa Mosque". There they plotted 9/11 terrorist attack. and why 9/11? Good question: because that's the date in which the western countries managed to finally close the doors to the Islam invasion. The doors, the doors of Vienna The date: Sep/11/1683 ref: The Battle of Vienna The western countries managed to stop the islamic invasion in Europe, after centuries! suffocating Europe,following the take over of the whole mediterranean sea... Europ managed to push the Islamics back to the Midde East: the Crusades
Two people from the town I was raising my children in died on the flight that hit the south tower. Amy Sweeney was an airline stewardess. She was beautiful and had three young children. It was devastating.
I remember the Oklahoma City bombing. Also Ruby Ridge. The Oklahoma City attack showed me what evil was. 9/11 showed me at what lengths others would go to harm and terrify others.
I live in the UK but will never forget coming home from School and my family immediately telling me about this in shock and seeing it on the news on TV. No one forgets where they were when this happened even far away from the US. My heart breaks for what they went through.
I can still remember that day, I am a Kenyan and it was that time when I was in class one(1st grade), I came home from school and found my mom watching TV with shock and on finding out what was going on, I saw on CNN that the twin towers were attacked by the ill fated planes. May the souls of those who perished during the attacks rest in peace.

I was in 5th grade and live on the west coast I got to watch the second plane hit and both towers fall then I went to school and everyone was talking about it.
I was in college in England in the morning my friend did a Doodle in my book i said " write the date next to it so we always remember this day" little did i know that day would never be forgotten, there just no words.
I will never forget what I did that day, that minute, when I, like millions of other people, saw live how the second plane flew into the North Tower. I was breastfeeding my 5-month-old son and my 2-year-old daughter was playing with Duplo bricks and I was watching a quiz show. This was then interrupted by the news with Peter Kloeppel reporting on a plane crashing into the World Trade Center and during the news the live pictures continued and you witnessed something you never wanted to see. It's unbelievable that it was 23 years ago, the memories are so engraved that it feels like yesterday and you're still struggling with the emotions. I'm not from America, but I still struggle with the images today and get goose bumps and tears run down my face. What must it be like for all those who were and still are directly affected as victims, as well as their relatives and all the emergency services? So many people did so many incredible things during this time and afterwards. I just wish that all those who were there and had to give their lives could rest in peace and that all relatives and friends could learn to deal with their incredible losses.🙏
I went to Ground Zero a couple of years later. My immediate thought was of that day. I don't think you can go there without thinking about it. How much dust, dirt and mayhem. It looked so clean now and it had a strange quiet and reverence to the area. The memorial is fitting and my husband and I looked for the name of his work colleague. He had worked at the American branch of his insurance company and my husband was in the London branch.
@ nashnonyhoney4066 the second plane flew into the South Tower, not the North Tower! Don’t mean to be annoying but this is a very important detail and we need to get the facts right for 9/11.
Betty Ong was the type of flight attendant that everyone hopes that they have on their flight. What amazing courage and calm she displayed on that horrific day. I hope her soul and all of the souls that lost their lives on 9/11 are at peace.
I’m an Indian and this came thru just on the heels of Kargil war. It was a confusing and messed up time for the world. I remember feeling if this is what the future held for us.
Greetings Sunita. I am a South African with an indian heritage. The events of 9/11 impacted the global community directly or otherwise. At that precise moment, what happened in NYC and Washington, set the tone for the rest of the world. Globally speaking, life has never been the same again. To some extent, your suspicion was correct....9/11 will never be removed from the future because of the reality that it can happen again.....9/11 demonstrated probabilities and expressed in the most regretable way the fragility of humanity against the forces of evil.
I'm Dutch and worked as a security gard in the nightshift. When I woke up that day at around 3 pm, and put on the television, I couldn't believe what I saw. This happening totally changed my world view. And not for the better.
@@Elvee-br7dr To me this became real eyeopener. I started to investigate the holy books of Islam and saw 9/11 fits it's teachings very well. Still think Islam is a huge problem.
Hi, je bent eigenlijk de eerste Nederlander die ik hoor die daar werkte… Hoorde je veel explosies voor de zogenaamde inslagen? Controlled demolition. WTC 1,2, en 7.
i wasn’t born yet when 9/11 happened and it’s fascinating hearing everyone’s stories of exactly where they were, what they were doing, their reaction to the news, and those who survived or were supposed to be there but weren’t. i’ve watched a lot of documentaries because i want to learn and understand the impact. rest in peace
It's interesting to see the reaction of people to 9-11-2001 who weren't even born yet. Such an intense day it was that some people in my high school class were crying at the footage being seen on TV. Esp at the live view of seeing people jump to their deaths out of the towers. This to going back home and watching my own mother pacing around the house and basically just saying nervously, "I don't know what to do." Like full fledge world war 3 was going to break out right away. In the few weeks that passed, you could feel the fear in the air. Especially among us younger guys who felt like we were going to get drafted into the military at any time.
My 13 year old daughter is learning about 9/11 this year and starting to comprehend the gravity of it. I was 15, in my high school freshman class that just started a week prior to 9/11. I remember teachers in the hallways going door to door, yelling to the classes to turn on the TV’s and then it came on the loudspeaker to stop what we were doing and turn on the TV’s. What was loud with kids talking, goofing around, all of a sudden became dead silent while we watched in horror. Us young students having no idea what a terrorist attack even was or what it meant. Feels like we got a crash course in adulthood that day. It wasn’t until I found out one of my best friends Aunt & Uncle were on flight 11 out of Boston that day did I truly understand the carnage that occurred. Will never forget it. 🕊️🤍🕊️ Rip Janis Lasden & Don DiTulio.
The one thing that people who were born after it will never really get is just how it it kept getting worse and worse and then it just went beyond all imagination. One plane you think "oh no that's horrible" and you stress about the people who are trapped but its just like any other catastrophe. Then you see people falling and jumping out of the windows on live tv and even the news achors don't really believe what they just saw. It was the first time something so tragic was televized as it was happening. You think its a horrible accident. Then another plane hits and it's not something you heard about, it literally happened on tv as you were watching the other tower burn. Reporters are screaming, news anchors are screaming and you know this isn't a mistake anymore. Everything you felt for the people in the first plane and the first tower is now x2 AND x1000 because you know it was deliberate this time. Then the bodies just start dropping from the building and everyone's crying. Reporters. News casters. The people in the room with you. All because you know just how far they have to fall and how bad must it be in there for them to choose that. You keep looking at the roofs and the helicopters circling and realise NO ONE has escaped up there and NO ONE is going to be rescued. Including those people waving cloths from broken windows. As the towers burn you hear about other planes gone awol and you know that its going to happen again somewhere. Anywhere. But where?! You have to watch the tv to find out and so you watch the towers burn people alive or belch them out to the ground below. You know that first responders have to go up there and try to do something and you know they're going to die. It couldn't possibly be any worse, any more horrifying, any more tragic and then.... a tower starts collapsing and you see huge clouds of debris push into the streets onto the people below. Snaking its way through each street and going around corners like some massive shadow of death and since you've got a news helicopter eye's view... you see it chasing people as they run like tiny tiny ants. All to the sound of news crew screaming. Buildings dont just fall. You've never seen that before. It never even crossed your mind and now you're thinking about the other tower and you know its going to go down with people in the stairwells and firefighters climbing floors. But maybe it wont right?! Right?! That was just a fluke. Maybe they'll all get out right and it's not going to fall. Maybe. You have to watch to find out. Can they even get out if they want to? Did the debris of the other tower make that impossible? The questions are endless now. And then it falls. There's no more screaming, it's all quiet.
Considering your age, you may think that 20 years is a long time but in reality it will pass with a blink of an eye. You will know this 20 years from now.
My father and I stood on the 21st floor of tower 2 (south ) When flight 11 hit the north tower, my father in his infinite wisdom told me to follow him and get out. Although security told us to go back inside, we didn't. We left the building 3 mins before flight 175 struck. The things I've witnessed outside of the towers will forever stay with me. And has caused many problems later in my life as well as my father's. I thank God everyday that we made it out and j pray for the families of those who didnt. Because of my father being sick, I missed my job interview on September 7th. I could have very well been starting my new job on September 10th and would have been above the impact zone working on the 11th. I have 4 beautiful children who are here now and they know how close we came to the end.
Islam showed already 23 years ago it’s ugly faces toward‘ s the west. Moreover should your administration being watchful, but they don’t! K. Harris and the democrats has in mind to win the election, with compromise beyond words. So they ignore the facts about the threats which unfolds each day in front of our eyes in the Middle East. The danger and violence of Islam does return, step, by step, here in Europe and within the US Boarder. For the loss of your uncle I am very Sorry! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭.
I was 11 watching this in school when teachers were strictly told not to turn on the tvs. Even now it's hard to think of all the unimaginable losses we suffered as a country and yet how no matter our differences we all came together in the days, weeks, and months after that. To this day all of this brings tears to my eyes. To all the survivors and the families impacted, we will never forget and I'm so glad that you all are here and I'm thankful for each and every one of you.
I was 16 when the Challenges Space Shuttle blew up. All the schools were watching it live because a teacher was on board. She won the lottery be the first teacher to broadcast from space.
Man, my teachers rolled in the TV, and when I saw what was happening, I ran home no questioning or anything I wanted my mother and we watched the second plane hit live
I was a sophomore in high school when this happened. A few months later after more videos of this were released, when the fire department was in the towers trying to help save people trapped inside, you could hear loud bangs in the tower lobby of people jumping to their deaths. It was a sound that I'll never forget.
I was last year of high school in Ireland last class in school about 3pm and never forget it, watched the whole thing live on TV and a day I will never forget.....rip to all the poor people
What’s so strange is that we remember how nice the weather was that day; not a cloud in the sky unlike the day before when NYC had rain and thunderstorms.
Yes, even in Pittsburgh, where I was at the time, my sister and I commented about how beautiful the weather was that morning before everything happened.
Not true. Weather has adverse. Effects on war and human enotions. On a rainy day these attacks wouldnt happen they chose a "severe clear" day to attack
Just 2 days from 9/11…I will watch these documentaries repeatedly and still experience the same emotions…where is THAT America…the one we all experienced after 9/11…I want THAT America back…🙏🏻😢🇺🇸💔
I’m British so we are 5 hours ahead of New York. I had just returned home from work and switched the TV on to watch the news so I saw the whole thing live. I think of the people who lost their lives every September. The memories are so detailed, terrible and heart breaking.
Dear Gillian Hatters-6613: UK (Elephant & Castle) to US/NY expat, I've spent much of my life craving the UK culture. People need to *extremely love* something in and about the US that would want them to seek the "promised land" that even evades Dr. King's desires.
Only slept 3 hours last night, woke up a bit early for work and this was in my reccomended. Tired or not i got this kick in the ace i needed today to get going. If you’re old enough to of experienced this it's a feeling that never leaves. Rest in peace please.
I was 12, my mom was working as an in home caregiver who worked nights. She watched this on TV and immediately called my dad who was about to wake me up for school. He got me up and brought me into the living room with the TV on and tried to explain what was happening. While it didn’t make sense to me, everything that day was surreal. I cannot explain the somber feeling that surrounded me. My parents, my teachers, the world I knew, everything changed that day.
You are absolutely right! Everything changed that day. My daughter doesn't realize this because she was only a year and four months old. Never forget ~ 9/11/01 ~ May all the people that lost their lives, Rest in eternal peace. 🕊
Happy Birthday 35. My niece has her 27th birthday today. This overshadow never fades! Today I'm watching the Remembrance and keep choking up. So many deeply personal and moving testimonials about love and families.
I turned 17 years old on 9/11 when this happened. I had to leave school early and was with my mom (also her birthday too) and family the rest of the day just mourning over the tragic of what happened. It took years to understand that it was okay to celebrate my birthday again. I still get people telling me to this day when they see my birth date that they are sorry. Never forget.
I was at a dentist appointment when this happened. It was 3 days before my 11th birthday. I was waiting in the lobby with my mom when I remember seeing the receptionists' face turn white very abruptly. She has been in a conversation with someone and just stopped talking, which is why I looked at her. She turned the TV behind the counter towards the waiting room for everyone to see and all of us huddled around it and watched in horror. They evacuated the city where my dad worked, so we left the dentist to go downtown to pick him up. I was absolutely terrified. I remember just staring at all of the tall buildings and wanting to get home as soon as possible. When we were home, we just watched it on repeat....over and over. The immense sadness that I felt for the victims of this horrendous event has not changed. Their lives were stolen from them in an instant. My thoughts and prayers to all of the families that lost their dear ones that day.
I had just turned 11 about a month prior. I lived 2 hours north of NYC at this time. My school had an unplanned fire drill. All of the teachers were crying, but none would explain why. Parents started turning up to pick up their kids. My dad told me in the car. I cried the whole way home. When I got there my mom was watching live footage in the livingroom. I sat and watched with her for hours. A big chunk of my childhood innocence was definitely lost that day.
I was in class when one of my classmates burst into the classroom out of breath. Trying to tell us what happened. We listened for about a minute but it was kind of incoherent. Our teacher left the classroom and came back a few minutes later with a TV. She tried her best to explain to us what was going on but obviously no one really knew what was going on just yet. But we knew we were under attack. What a wild day that was. Rest in peace to everyone lost that day
Same thing for me!!! The only difference new york is in the same time zone as Quebec so it was early before class ! So the only thing left to do then is skip class and go watch it on tv and I saw the second plane hit! At first I thought it was a replay, took me few seconds to realize both towers were in smokes! TRAGEDY!😢
@RealMaxoou262 i was alive alright. And in school. In new jersey. And no one reacted like that. Same at either of my brothers schools....also in new jersey. If op was in like Hoboken or Staten island okay yep I get it.
Why did so many teachers do this? wouldn't kids be traumatized? Was it the norm to show breaking events to the class? I was only in preschool at the time but I'm a teacher now and couldn't imagine showing this to kids. Highschoolers maybe
I was working at midtown Manhattan on 9/11. I saw WTC collapse from my office. I can never forget the image. It still haunts me. My friend worked at WTC, I cried my heart out not knowing she made it safe or not. Luckily she escaped. That was the last time I cried.
As a native Black New York male, the tragedies worked my nerves so terribly that all I could not stand was those people were killed and injured at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and all who were killed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Such story really leads me to feel "sick in the head."
As someone who lived through this it's strange to see this after all these years yet it's still a fresh memory. I was 21 and stayed at the Millennium Hilton
I remember my teacher watching in horror. Her sister was on the first plane. She came back to school for the next year, but she was never the same cheerful person she used to be. She quit after that and i dont think anyone heard from her since. I hope shes okay or at least as okay as she can get. Id lose my shit if i lost my sister
As a Black male born in New York, the tragedy is etched within the recesses of my brain just like my jagged nerves. I will never forget it for the rest of my natural life.☹
I am a Brit and I've been to NY and the very sobering Ground Zero. I remember being on the subway a few years ago and looking around at the faces of those old enough to remember that fateful day with nothing but admiration and respect. New Yorkers are a different kind of people, made tough by the tragedy they had to endure. May all those that perished on that day rest in piece. Proud to stand with my American brothers and sisters.
I am Sikh American going to school in 2001 I was in 8th grade. I pre a turban so I remember the aftermath like it was yesterday. We have come a long way. God bless THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 🇺🇸
My granddaughter is in 4th grade, in NJ. 9/11 was not talked about in school. We must never let this horrible day fade away. Please tell your children, age appropriate, about 9/11/2001. I focused on the many heroes and a little on the "bad people" including the planes and security are much safer now. I don't want her afraid to fly.
I was 11 years old in fifth grade, and the teacher came into the room. The tears in her eyes, the next thing I knew, we were out on early release, came home, and it was all on the news.
To Cedric Martin 2504, Only skeletons of the internet existed then: no UA-cam, Google, Facebook, etc. Regular media and television fed news and information that people consumed and discussed together. Today, with all the internet and millions of mediocre media choices, the majority of youth -- and others, wouldn't know if the WTC buildings fell down. They would be too engrossed.
I'm in Australia and I watched some of this as it was happening and have never forgotten it. Pure evil hit America that day. It will affect me for the rest of my life. God bless all those poor darlings who passed away....forever in my thoughts
I'm in the medical field and during covid I found myself coming to these videos to see people helping each other during things like this since people were being so horrible to each other. I was in the army during 9/11 and it changed my life. My husband is also in medicine in the army and he's had 3 inpatient hospital stays at the VA in the past 2 years.
Salute the modern heroes, firefighters, disaster risk team, police officers, medical team, and those who voluntarily help in that tragic times. God bless America. 🇺🇸 ❤
I was in 3rd. Remember it well. The teacher was pulled out of the room after the second impact. We went home shortly after. I was close enough to walk home. As I got home, i watched one of the towers collapse (2nd hit) on TV... though I was still too young to understand. Hell, I'm pretty sure I just went and played Crash Bandicoot.
Me too!! I’m 36 now. SMH. I remember it was a little station that came on and they would air little current and international events for middle schoolers/ high schoolers. Students, the teacher and whoever else was ready to watch the 15 min news. ( anything to not do work )…. The news came on was talking about what had just happened.. we all cried and just couldn’t believe it. It’s still so very shocking.
2001, I was a Freshman in college when this happened. It was the school mid day break time at our university in Manila and we were all watching the news on the TV in the canteen. All of us there, students, teachers and staff were shocked as things unfolded right before our eyes while we were having our lunch. This day is truly unbelievable and will never be forgotten. God bless the souls of the departed, including the brave heroes, soldiers, firefighters, police officers, security, volunteers, and healthcare workers who responded to the rescue and sacrificed their lives. I also pray for peace in the hearts of those that they left behind, also for those still seeking justice for the lives lost in this unfortunate period in world history.
I wasa 14 years old here in NYC when the Twin Towers were destroyed, and I miss them everyday. I went on the roof of the South Tower as a child back in 1994, the year after the 93 bombing. The Twin Towers was my #1 favorite spot here in NYC. I still remember everything from that day. I sadly witnessed the collapse of the North Tower. I still have 9/11 trauma to this very day.
and New York City was safe and clean back then. Mayor Giuliani took good care of the city. America was prosperous. People were for the most part patriotic. America wasn't in so much debt or invaded by millions of people flooding the southern border. So much has changed since that day. I don't recognize my country anymore.
Trauma here too. Watched both towers collapse on TV, which my middle school had in each room. The principal at the time had every teacher turn on their respective TVs so we could all watch it.
I’m so sorry you’re traumatized Terrell ❤️🩹. 9/11 was horrible for so many of us. I hope, as a nation, we will someday realize that this tragedy touched more than those that were directly in the vicinity of the towers. ❤️🩹
I was in Asia when it happened.. The world mourned and will never forget 9/11.. I visited the ground zero last week my heart was heavy and I could not help my tears from falling. Praying for their souls over and over again. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤍🤍🕊️🕊️
I'm from Europe and had grown up on british forces bases in the UK and Germany, as the son of an army sergeant. I was at work that day and after hearing the initial broadcast that a plane had hit the first tower I decided to go home early to understand what had happened. The idea that a plane crashed just didn't sit right with me. I couldn't explain my feelings. At home I followed the events of that day in disbelief. A sadness gripped me that I still feel to this day when 911 comes up. The jumping men and women touched my soul so hard it brought tears to my eyes. Just thinking of their families and friends and the grief the people had to experience that day. Knowing that the brave first responders were trying hard to rescue people and getting killed in the process. Seeing them covered in dust, people covered in dust on the streets. Fleeing in the thousands. I imagined what the people trapped in the towers were experiencing. Then watching molten metal pouring from the corners of the buildings, and the free fall speed of the collapsing towers. Both towers collapsed in identical fashion. In the following five years I researched every possible explanation of what happened, especially in light of the wars that ensued in Iraq and Afghanistan. A neo con think tank paper " the project for a new American century" published just a few years prior comes to mind Then the idea that the government had an explanation within hours of why and how it happened. The vice president Dick Cheney and his cronies making large profits from the wars with their military industrial complex, all paid for by the American people. Dollar Plus and no bid contracts all resulted in what is now 35 trillion US debt. The whole of the western world is drowning in debt, but a few thousand individuals, their families and corporations have high jacked the assets and the financial future of the western nations. To this day I don't know what I can believe. Why and how it happened. Who benefited from this desaster. Larry Silverstein and his dodgy double insurance claim, building number 7 collapsing and being announced by the BBC 20 min before it happened. Honest firemen saying they heard bombs detonating and telling reporters Building 7 was being pulled. Then watching it coming down in a controlled way. The pentagon accounting department being hit a day after Rumsfeld declared that 2 trillion dollars were unaccounted for in the DoD Budget. All documentation unfortunately lost in the fire. Bush senior had declared a new world order on the horizon some years earlier. A CIA man who had been involved in shady buisness around the bay of pigs and the Kennedy Assassination. Life changed on that day. The world changed for ever on September 11, 2001. The new century started with a horrendous crime smashing the hopes for a bright and peaceful future. It felt like evil powers had drowned the optimism of the new century. Freedom and liberty had been suffercated by the debt based financial system and governments ecpanding control in the war on terror. Domestic government surveillance on its own people. As humanity we are more devided than ever. Conflict has never stopped in the past 23 years, recently reaching Europe once again with Ukraine being destroyed in a proxy war. Gaza now just a heap of rubble and millions people affected by death and destruction. Israel and the Middle East without a solution. 9-11 affected my life more than I ever thought it would, even though I was thousands of miles away. To the people who suffered loss of life and loss of loved ones on 9-11. To the brave people who put their own wellbeing at risk to save others. Thank you. Every story I hear gives me a little hope for humanity. You are forever in my thoughts and in my prayers, because without your efforts I might dispair thinking about the future of my children and their future children. God bless you all.
I fully woke up in October 2021 after the 20th anniversary of 9/11. I didn't have to do much research to realise it was an inside job. I then said to myself, oh my god, everything I have ever been told is a lie! Have been down many rabbit holes since!
I will never forget 9/11. Heavily pregnant with my youngest son due date was October 5th. My dear late father-in-law was fixing the lock on our front door, had Sky news on but volume was down. Saw images of first tower and turned volume up to witness live the second plane like millions of others around the world. I sobbed at all the stories of the people that lost their lives and still do. My son was born 3 days later on the 14th. R.I.P to all who sadly lost their lives😢
Every September that rolls around since that day still has a heavy feeling for me. New stories emerge or a new documentary comes out and it's right back to that day. Never forget.

I was 18, at college in the UK. I got home just before the second plane hit and watched the horrifying events unfold on TV. I will never forget that day and my heart goes out to all those who lost loved ones. Time will never diminish the shock and tragedy of that day.
Same here pal I was 17 coming home on bus from my first job finished at dinner hour came home me mum watching it telling me what's just happened then watched the second plane hit other tower was sad sad day that😢😢😢
Also, I cannot overcome the fact that there were people inside the jets and the Pentagon. That thing is what makes the tragedy awfully hellified. I just cannot get it out of my "damned" head.
Twenty three years ago, I was still in my late 50's. Now I realize how quickly time passes by. It seems like I was just a senior in high school, and it seems like I just graduated from Navy boot camp and went overseas. It reminds me of something that Lord Tennyson wrote. What am I but a child crying in the night ?
Welles Crowther worked as an equities trader and was also a volunteer firefighter. He ran dozens of floors upstairs with a gas mask in full fireman gear to reach the people in distress. He reached them but they could not get down in time. Welles Crowther's bravery and heroism on 9/11 will never be forgotten.
If you were old enough to have watched this whole event unfold live on TV, you'll know what an absolutely insane day that was. If it was a movie you'd say no way that could happen that way. As incredible as it was to watch I hope I never see anything like that again.
As it unfolded on TV, the first thing I said to my coworkers (on the 21st floor of the second-highest building in Denver) was, "Why haven't the WTC buildings collapsed"? They all smirked and laughed at my naivete. They were wrong; I was right. That awful day is seared into my memory. Horrible, to this day.
I have bipolar disorder, and in 2001, I "woke up" from a manic phase. The next day was 9/11, and a horrible way to return to reality. That triggered an anxiety condition that has stayed with me to this day. But still, nothing compared to those who lost those they loved and cherished. It still feels like yesterday.
It's Strange how we all drift back to these documentaries And news casts around the early part of September It's because we are now in the digital era And it is the digital era That will keep reminding us of these tragic events On our cell phones Watches and tablets For the next hundred years
I was 2 years and 11 months old and laying on the carpet in my living room, unbeknownst to what I was watching as my parents were watching the tv. I can say with absolute certainty this was my first ever memory. I thought nothing of it as expected for someone my age, but every documentary i see pop up fascinates me in such an unusual sense. It brings out unknown emotion that I haven't felt before, of which I simply cannot explain.
I was a news editor and anchor at a Radio station in Nigeria at the time. I had just finished the World News bulletin and was getting ready to start working on the News In Brief bulletin which will be aired 3 hours later. All of a sudden, out deputy director of News rushed into the newsroom and asked me to switch to CNN that America is under attack. I did as he said and was horror stricken with what I saw on TV. I quickly prepared a breaking news. I knew immediately that Osama Bin Laden was behind the attack because I read his interview in Times magazine in 1998 where he treatened to wage war on America.
I was 21 when it happened, l was at home studying for an exam,but still on the end of lunch break (l'm from Milan, it was almost 3pm),flipping through the channels and I saw Cnn had just started showing the first tower,so l saw the second plane hit . I remember being kind of numb,shocked,didn't answer any calls (in Italy everything else stopped, we all went all in front of the tv). The first time l went to NYC and visited the memorial l cried the whole time. l traveled both for work and for leisure all over the States,my best friend moved with her husband to NYC in 2014 and her kids are American. I JUST LOVE YOUR COUNTRY SO MUCH. I'm not used to comment let alone this personal and long stuff,but l don't know,with the anniversary and watching this video all the emotions came rushing back. All the love and prayers for the victims, their families and the first responders who paid the price later 🙏 ❤ 🇺🇸 ❤🎉💔
i'm from germany and back then when this happened i was at a seminar... we were all called to the tv to see what was happening.... I still can't forget it today...
I remember exactly where I was when this happened. I was on the road for work and was listening to talk radio while commuting from Tampa to Orlando, FL. They were very hesitant about what they were reporting. I called my husband and son (who was home sick) to see if they had the TV on. I was still about 40 minutes away from my destination. When I got to my client in Orlando, the whole building was watching and I watched it along with them. I remember how many years it took me to stop looking into the sky when I heard a plane overhead. A stunningly sad, horrible event that will live with me as long as I'm on this earth. So much love and blessings for all who lost loved ones and for the brave first responders. No loss is ever good, but this one should never leave our memories; we forget the past and thus invite history to repeat itself. Please, no! Never again!
This does NOT feel like it was 23 years ago. It is still as relevant as ever!
They rly said watch ya jet 😢
50:42 That is MOST DEFINITELY
NOT A …. ✈️
Pause it and zoom in
You can see exactly what it is .
Scud
No it doesn’t.
because We are reminded of it every single yr over and over .
We MUST NEVER FORGET THAT TRAUMA
Agreed! I’ve watched the towers being hit many times yet every time it’s like watching it for the first time. It was unbelievable - so audacious and so tragic 😢
my boyfriends mom worked in the north tower. her boss told her to stay, but she said HELLLLL no and ran right out. thankfully she was floors below the impact. she ran all the way to queens. she passed away in 2018 from lung cancer and was never able to return to battery park or near ground zero…she was traumatized for life. she also couldn’t sleep without tv.
Sorry for your loss. May her memory be forever blessed. ❤from Scotland.
@@YVONNEHEUINGS thank you so much ♥️
Your government did it sadly !! Trying to kill its own people !!
ive heard of how workers were told to stay in the south tower after the north tower was hit, but that all changed after the south tower was hit. telling people to stay in the NORTH TOWER after it was hit is absolutely crazy
Didn't realize some people didn't listen to the instruction to stay put.
I feel compelled to watch these videos on the anniversary of 911 every year. Here I am 23yrs later, still watching in absolute horror. Never forgotten
me too 💔
Same
Same here
Same here
Same 💔 I was in 8th grade watching it live on the news. Still feels like yesterday
I was 22, just coming home from school and was glued to the TV as CNN covered the whole story here in southern Germany. I will never forget the horrors that unfolded in front of our eyes, 24years later I am still deeply touched by the events on that day and what followed since then. I work in ATC for almost 20years now and hope I will never experience such a devastating situation with one A/C in my career. The day that changed the world and especially the aviation will never be forgotten - no matter where you live on earth. May god bless you all. Thank you for taking your time.❤
I think it didn’t affect just Americans, it was an attack on the whole world
I was a newly promoted sgt in the NYPD. I was in training that morning at the NYPD's outdoor firearms training range in the city island section of the Bronx (rodmans neck ). It was a beautiful morning. Everything changed. We mobilized to Stuyvesant high school. It was pure hell. The days, weeks, and months in the aftermath will live in my soul forever. We continue to suffer due to the toxic exposure we all endured from the pile. I salute all my fellow first responders. I salute all the victims on that day. You will never be forgotten.

Bonsoir Sergent.
Je suis liée indirectement à ce drame horrible, pour avoir rêvée 15 jours avant les faits, tout de la Tour WTC1,..
Dans ce rêve prémonitoire, j étais un aigle royal, et j atteste sur l honneur , Dieu et les Anges en sont temoin, d avoir tout vu du déroulement de cette tour, jusqu'à l effondrement.
Depuis, tous les mois de septembre , je suis en Deuil National, pour toutes les vies Americaines..
Mon.coeur saigne, et le traumatisme est toujours présent..
L autre cauchemard que je fais, et de me voir dans la tour wtc1 qui s effondre..sous mes pieds ..
Je sais ce qu'on vécu les victimes..
Que Dieu les accueillent au Paradis..
Et pas les terroristes, qui sont en.ENFER.
My husband, now-retired NYPD, was at the range that fateful morning, too.
From an LEO in UK, you and your colleagues have my ultimate respect. Many of my close colleagues dealt with Lockerbie and I know how much that affected them and it’s nothing compared to the scale of this. 😢
It's crazy how this attack became a core memory for anyone alive at the time. We all remember what we were doing the day of the attack.
I’m in a weird spot today because I am 30 years old and remember details of that morning so vividly. My coworkers, on the other hand, were barely 3 year old and 1 wasn’t even born yet so they have no memories like I do. It’s the same with my siblings, all of them were born in 2002/2003.
Not weird, ask anybody who was alive when JFK was assassinated, we walked on the moon or the Challenger exploded, they'll remember.
My 13yr old son told me today, I have watched so many documentation and even interviews with survivors, new Yorkers and family mamber. Many videos over the years, he feels like he was there. He feels the emotions too. Made me proud of his empathetic maturity but also sad he feels that!
How is that crazy
@@tegantalks9612same here ! I’m 30 and tbh I don’t remember anything except I just remember seeing bush talking on tv
I was a British Flight Attendant visiting my now late mother in York the day of the attacks. The two of us and my sister sat glued to the TV screen watching the horrendous events unfold. It’s a day I will never, ever, forget 😢🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
Thank god she wasnt in "NEW" york...
I was 16, Massachusetts, sitting in English class, my teacher turned on the TV and the class went silent. It was frightening. Everytime an airplane passes, I think of that day.
@@bloodflower2141 Why? The area of danger was a small area around Lower Manhattan. For those who watched it on TV the shock was as real and fully felt wherever people were in the world.
Most people around the world at the time alive today will always remember where they were that day..I know I do
@@MorbidMissMuffet wow you must live close to the military airport where they switched the planes.
I’m Dutch and we were on holiday in Napels, Florida on 9/11.
I remember that my wife and me went to breakfast and saw everbody gathered around the TV instead of sitting at the tables.
The first thing we saw was that a plane fly in the WTC, with the ticker “America under attack”, It was horrible.
I can remember every minute of that day vividly. I never gonna forget it.
Our holiday was extended by two weeks because of the no fly descision. Then we could fly home, It was scary…
You know a Dutch architect said the twin towers were part of a 100% demolition setup. No way...1000% no way they fell from the planes he said. Months later this architect had an unusual car crash and died. Watch the truth and share it with all those who need to see what their country will do to itself. ua-cam.com/video/5MScHbiSAes/v-deo.html Fck Bush!!!
I got woken out of a heavy sleep by my wife in the morning after working a graveyard shift. I remember it like it was yesterday, can still see the sun coming thru the windows as we sat there shocked and watched the news. I remember how quiet it was with no planes in the air after. The world changed forever that day.
Respect....feel free to paint out the experience.....there's no words to describe it tho I could explain and talk and remember that day forever exactly how you just touched on.. Respect 2 all people love you Americans
Especially in America, you don't really think about all the aircraft in the sky... until they're not there anymore. For those of us living far from the tragedy, that might have been the most noticeable part.
big tragedy,, but we have to be optimist, plane does crashes some times and we dont ever know about.. this one was captured on camera..
Same here in the uk I had worked a long 12 hour night shift and got home at 10am then went straight to sleep around a few hours later my brother burst in to tell me something bad had happened in New York by the time I got myself up and sorted I came downstairs at the exact moment the 2nd plane hit the south tower,my dad had died a few months earlier and my mum was away in Tenerife at the time,me and my brother just sat there in stunned silence for the next half hour or so,the silence was broken by my friend calling me as he’d just gone on his lunch break and had seen what was happening,we had been due to go to new York on the 21st September and very quickly realised that we would not be going now,then went back to watching the news with my brother and couldn’t believe it when the news came in about the pentagon and then United 93 crashing we wondered why the hell was next was this just the start of something even bigger,would the uk be a target how many more planes were hikacked in the USA!!
I think evey thought possible went through our heads and it didn’t seem like it could be any worse until we saw the south tower go down and that just was horrible to see knowing thousands could have been in the building including fire, police,ambulance workers,even now I didn’t expect to see the north tower fall as well I hoped it would stand tall still but it fell as well.
I’ll never forget 9/11 as long as I live and couldn’t imagine what being in that situation would be like until I happened to be in London on a job interview on July 7th 2005 it’s only by sheer luck and determination to not be late I avoided being on one of the trains that I would have been on had I gotten the next train to London and subsequently been on the underground train heading to Aldgate from Liverpool Street then I might not be here now.
Rest in peace to all those who died on 9/11 and 7/7 and praise the heroes of United 93 who saved more life’s by acting selflessly 🇺🇸🇬🇧

10 something years plus later?
I am a South African and was driving home from work when I heard on my car radio that a plane had crashed into the Twin Towers. I rushed home and switched the TV to CNN. The horror and sadness of pure madness unfolded in my living room. From across the oceans we gasped in unbelievability. What devastation! The events of 911 consumed me since then. I read every article, watched every documentary, and screened every video within my reach. The loss and suffering of so many is inconceivable. 23 years later the events of that unprecedented moment still haunt the soul.
Imagine how the people in Japan felt when hit with atom bombs people vaporized total.destruction of the cities mass murder innocent civilians Permanent chromosome damage that was passed on
Hundreds I'd thousands lives in a flash.boom gone
9 11 wS a horror show here in NYC but we've been.very destructive also Vietnam
These things l learned about plus WW11 and Germany and what Hitler did across Europe they are unbelievable and still no one learns

The terror in Betty Ong’s voice moves me to tears. She is a true hero for keeping her composure and relaying important info.
As a Black male, her messages depressed me to mental hell, because I hated that Betty Ong, the flight crew, passengers, and office workers were killed and injured in all 4 places. What the real hell happened on September 11, 2001, with my knowledge that they died. Since I have no one killed related to me, the tragedies come up front, close, and in my "damned" face.

I live in Australia, and I remember that day vividly. For some unknown reason, I woke up at about 3am Australia time and could not get back to sleep. Eventually, out of frustration, I got out of bed, went up to our living room and turned on the television, something I had never done before at this time, (and never since).
At first I thought “What movie is this? It took a few minutes before I realized that this was not a movie! I raced up to our bedroom and woke my wife. Together, we watched the horrific devastation taking place right in front of us. This is something that we will never forget. Our hearts go out to those who lost family members. Stay safe.
i was watching Rove and then it came on the news afterwards, just before the second plane hit
Lluys mate go back to sleep, wallaby dingbat
I lived in Florida at the time, in middle school. we got put under lockdown and the teachers didn't tell us what was going on. Half the school had kids checked out by their parents and the principle called it an early release day after lunch. When I got home my sister was watching a replay of the events. I also thought it was a movie she was watching, but she was crying and said it wasn't a movie. That realization hit me like a punch to the gut. It really is true what they say about that day. You never forget where you were and what you were doing.
I know exactly the feeling man. At this time I was a kid in Sydney and I woke up also around 3am to my mother crying and speaking quite loudly watching the TV - I looked over and I saw that all channel schedules were diverted to live coverage of this. I remember seeing people jumping out of the windows of the world trade centre and not being able to comprehend that it was actually real/not a movie or something - right when it was about to click mentally my mum took me back to bed
In UK, i woke up and got ready to go to work. I knew something was seriously wrong, but I had no idea what. I just knew. I had the nagging bad feeling all the way to work, but didn't know why. When I got to work, I saw this on TV and it clicked into place. I had to do my job regardless. Thankfully, it was a quite day. When I got home I put the TV on and was glued to it for hours.
On that day, I had just woken up, very pregnant and waiting for my due date to give birth. I had just taken maternity leave front work days prior. I got a call from my husband who was at work about the towers being hit. I was so confused and couldn’t process for a bit. I then turned on the TV and saw the terrifying images. I froze and suddenly started having contractions. For days afterward until giving birth to my daughter on 9/24, I was anxious, depressed, restless and couldn’t relax. I eventually named my daughter a Lao name which means “Peace” as it reflected my mindset and desire during that time. To this day, I can never forget.
I wonder this. Why didn't these planes have a remote emergency control to prevent this sort of thing when they suspected a hijacking like that? The technology existed at the time.
My wife was at the hospital having early contractions. I watched the towers fall with nurses while she slept. Our son was born healthy the next day 💞
it will never cease to amaze me how one single day in history can have such a profound impact on generations of people forever 🌹
Nothing to do with that day, but with the media. & why we are still bothered with this every year over a louzy 3000 deaths.
@@XHALE3033000 immediate deaths (still a horrendous number) but in reality the deaths that spiralled from this are in the hundreds of thousands over the globe.

Do you think this attack was worse than throwing 2 atomic bombs on Japan ???
@@Jan-jo2hp dude what? japan had committed some of the worst crimes against humanity ever seen, even making Nazi agents sick (even though they were just as bad)
I was 12 at the time as well.
I was 10 and also heard it from France. My dad was working in Manhattan that day and was supposed to take a flight back to France a few days later. It was a stressful moment for our family. We are lucky enough that he was not too close to the WTC. Good for you for being a flight attendant!
Whenever I hear or watch anything about the attacks on America or the so-called event "9-11," I really go out of a sane mind. Yes, I would be sick in the head.
A well edited, well resourced, well narrated documentary which will serve as a valuable visual record forever. The intelligence failures that enabled this event to occur should never be repeated.
23 years later in 2024 this still hurts.
GET OVER IT and move on.People go all the time-we cant just keep repeating these events every year as if nothing worse has ever happened.Cry me a river
@@KingoftheRoad-2023 Still, this is just insane. Blessings to all those who helped
@@KingoftheRoad-2023So because other tragedies happen through the years , no one’s allowed to feel certain ways about the ones they’ve lived through . That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever read .
Even hurts more when no evidence is found and fools still believe whatever isrealhellis put on the table for them to believe,
So true
I was 31 yrs old and at my day job in Jersey when the news broke. I immediately left work, picked up my child at daycare, and went to my parents home. My pager went off requesting all available volunteer EMS to report to their stations. Ours and many other ambulances lined up across the bay that day waiting to cross over the bridge to help the injured survivors but unfortunately there wasn’t many injured survivors to help. 😔 A very very difficult day in our Nations history.
I was building the show house on the site of my old high school . The site manager came in and told us . I called my wife who had finished early that day and was on her way home . I took left early and together we sat glued to our TV in shock and horror . We live in Scotland in the UK . It also turns out , that we were in Florida on honeymoon not far from where Jarrah and Atta trained to fly at the same time we were there .
Thank you for being ready to help. I know Robin Williams was one of the first to donate blood.
Nov 9 (9-11 reversed) 96 we flew from Orlando to Cleveland on an emergency flight as my mom was passing away from cancer. Our layover was in jersey - right across a bit from the trade centers. I tried to show the kids the statue of liberty but I couldn't leave the trade centers.
Sadly we'll never see it again.
Are you also shocked how the terrorist state of the US has invaded over 50 countries and over thrown 30 democratic governments killing millions?
I was young, 21 years of age, living in South Africa. When I say everything was different that day......... I didn't know what the Twin Towers were. I didn't know what terrorism was. But by the end of the day, I knew of all of the above and the collapse of people's lives that came with that terrorist attack. Heart breaking to this day.
@@xyzgamingHalalEasier said than done man.
I was 23 when this happened. I remember my Mom calling me and telling me to turn on the news, and what I saw left me shaken to the core. I sat on the floor of my living room and watched with tears in my eyes. 23 years later I am still shaken whenever I see footage, especially now, knowing there is far more to this tragedy that may never be fully known. RIP to all those who lost their lives due to this tragedy.
We thought we had a double tragedy that day. Thank GOD for His intervention..
My nephew was to be on Flight 77. He changed it at the last moment but didn't tell anyone. He always stopped by his parents house and put the flight info on the fridge.
We were in a panic. Finally he called to check on everyone.
My cousin's husband was a AF LTC and scheduled for a mtg at the Pentagon on 9/11. He arrived and was told because of the ongoing construction at the Pentagon, they had to change the location. He left about 20 minutes before the flight hit.
We thank GOD every year for His never-ending blessings and miracles.
RIP Betty Ong, may your family find peace & comfort and be healed, its not easy to hear her voice all over the internet🥹
I watch documentaries like this every year on the anniversary of this horrible day. I will never forget, until my dying breath. God bless the survivors, families of the fallen, the first responders, and America.
So why not watch ''other'' documentaries that expose this BS? You forgot to mention the 5million non american victims.

It was just a surreal time...

Singaporean here. Doing my National Service back then and just sent my girlfriend, now wife, home when the news broke live footage on the TV, on my way home via the bus (10pm Singapore time). Then, I was worried, is the world at war? If yes, against whom? It's the time of the year (again) and yes, 23 years, it still hurts/haunts me when the images of the 2nd plane crashing into the south tower and the (more impactful) "falling" man flashes through my mind abruptly from time to time.
I woke up before the second tower got plane crashed. Another tough night of playing pinball all day long until 6:00am that day. I woke up early that day.
I remember this day as clearly as all of you. In fact, i think its my first memory. I was born on 9/11/1996. I woke up on my 5th birthday all excited. I walked through streamers in my door way that my mother had put up overnight. I walked down the hall and into the living and i remember being very confused why everyone was crying. I looked at the TV and even at 5 years old i understood to some extent. My parents turned the TV off and we spent the whole day in the backyard as a family. I could tell they were devastated.
Betty Ong may you be at peace now you lovely lovely soul & strong brave lady. May the Lord shine his light of love on you dear Betty & all your loved ones always. You are loved♥
If the "lord" is capable of shining his love on her why didn't he intervene and stop the slaughter? Your "lord" is either all powerful and evil - watching devastation but doesn't intervene - impotent or a figment of man's imagination - I go for the latter.
In Jesus' Holy Name, Amen.

Pray for the families left behind in pain from their loss. Pray for all suffrring and lost over the past 23 years. Some from health issues caused by the inhalation of debris, ash from numerous sources and smoke for weeks after the falling of the towers. Some lost due to over stricken with grief, PTSD, Depression and thier fight to live! Prayers to all those who still haven't been able to recover thier loved ones. And to the survivors from the towers and the pentagon who suffer survivors guilt, emotional, mental and physical pain and disabilities!

I try to know just anything about as many as I can. My heart is with you all!!!

I lived close to the WTC. On this morning I was in my bathroom, getting ready for work, the door to my deck was open and I heard these two bangs I will never forget. Then I walked out to my deck and saw what happened to the North tower. At this point neighbors were on the street talking about an airplane hitting the WTC. I asked "A Cessna or something?" "No, a commercial airliner". At this moment my stomach turned and I got dizzy. Then I called my boss, telling him "John, I am not coming to work today, a plane just hit the World Trade Center", and his response was "Yeah right, when did this happen?" He thought it was a lame excuse - I didn't care. And this was just the beginning of that day...

Here on September 11th, 2024. As a Canadian who was a kid at the time, I don't remember everything about that day, but I will never forget seeing the coverage of the Towers. Living in Southern Ontario and living along the 401 corridor, known as the Highway of Heroes, this day changed so much for not just the United States but for our country and the whole world. I am glad every year it is still being discussed. I feel like there are too many natural disasters that unless you were impacted by them get forgotten. I understand this was not a natural disaster but as the years pass, the impact is not lost all these years later and that is something I appreciate.
Come From Away musical has allowed Canadian's to tell their experiences in a different way and not taking away from any American. But being attached to the States, we truly felt the impact here. I have never been able to visit the monument but I think often about the kids who grew up without parents because of this day. Listening to their speeches at the first or second anniversary when they spoke. Growing up without a parent or loved one because of this day. But knowing just how many firefighters and first responders were all true heroes that day and the weeks to come.
As a Canadian I may not have dual citizenship, but I gave my voice and full support to extending the bill for families and victims of 9/11. I'm glad the money and resources were extended because trauma is life long, it doesn't have an end date and should always show appreciation to all involved.
Just know to all of the victims families my heart thinks of you often, not just in this day. But as I get older thinking about all of those kids growing up without a parent. Having your loved one no longer here with you as your life continues on, just know they are never forgotten. I'm sorry I don't know all of their individual names but my heart has always been with you from that day in 2001.
Hugs to you all and I know I will never forget.
Thank you for your kindness

I am german and had a day off. I was at home and turned TV on as I heard at the radio a plane hit WTC. I watched the second plane flying in the south tower. I will never forget this day and how we all were deeply shocked...

It truly changed the entire world, this happened 10 days after my 1st birthday. But my mum told me I was sat playing with my toys while she was watching it on the tv unfold right in front of her eyes and watched the second plane crash into the second building, she said she looked me at me being all happy and sat there wondering what world she has brought me into, we live in England. The gravity of what happened is insane
Moving.
I was in mid town when it happened. I will never ....ever ...forget that day.
I sit in tears, here in my safe home, 23 years later..
My 11 year old son wants to know what happened that day. I have told him small parts of the story. But when he gets a little older, he will watch this video and I will take him to ground zero.
One of the worst days in our countries life.
For 6 months after life in the city was very different. We all felt united against a common enemy. People were kinder and more patient.
Everyday when I took the subway to work, we could smell the death in the subway cars.
The world will never be the same.
indeed, it will remain a dark day but what about the children of Afghanistan had to do with that? 9/11 has nothing to do with Islam nor any other religion and it was inside job everyone knows.
Watch the documentary: The new Pearl Harbor!!!
Look at it all -
You will understand!
But WHY on earth is this video appearing 23 years later on September the 3rd ? Will you tell your son that this triggered a war in Afghanistan that was totally unjustified and has been proven to be so ?
A day the world will never forget. I remember my husband getting home from work and waking me up at 11.30pm (I’m in Australia).

That's why many people don't know what actually happened that day, because they were glued to the fake news TV. Here in Britain at least one TV news channel reported that tower seven had fell one hour before it actually did. We were also shown the original footage of the first tower exploding from different angles but there were definitely no planes on that footage. The planes only appeared on the footage later.
23 years later and it's still as emotional now as it was then.
I am 64 and in the UK and two dates I will never forget where I was/what I was doing.
11/9/01 and 31/8/97 (death of Diana).
RIP ❤
Absolutely both dates very devastating
I had a premonition of Lady Diana's death......

Wow! This day before Queen Elizabeth’s death, I had a promotion on it that Woody.EXE texted me and i rushed home immediately. He had a very grim look on him telling me something was wrong and the Queen’s death was it
I'm from South Africa. I can still remember each detail of that day. I worked in the Heathway Center, Johannesburg North. A customer walked in and told us the news about the 1st plane. We locked up shop and went upstairs to Stax. That's where we saw the second plane hit. It still feels unreal and shock to this day.
23 years later and this day still haunts my dreams.
If this still haunts you in your dreams you should get professional help.

I was 7 when this happened. Early afternoon in Germany, I just got home from school with my sister - all the adults we knew suddenly turned to something close to panic, frantically gathering around the TV. My sister and I weren't understanding it at first, just going about our days as young school children do - but when I passed by the TV, in the worst possible moment - the second tower getting hit by a plane, broadcast live on TV - that one got me. I somehow knew this wasn't a movie or anything, most likely through how my grandparents reacted. My father, a worker of national security, did not return home that night. I remember vividly the day after the talk he had with my sister and I - that not all humans mean well and are accepting of each other. That was my first encounter with terrorism and human error in terms of treating another. My 7-year-old innocent world view died that day. I can not imagine how hard it must have been for anyone to lose someone to this.
Where in Germany? This terrrorists AL Qaeda cell was indoctrinated in Hamburg, Germany. in the "Al Aqsa Mosque". There they plotted 9/11 terrorist attack. and why 9/11?
Good question: because that's the date in which the western countries managed to finally close the doors to the Islam invasion.
The doors, the doors of Vienna
The date: Sep/11/1683
ref: The Battle of Vienna
The western countries managed to stop the islamic invasion in Europe, after centuries! suffocating Europe,following the take over of the whole mediterranean sea... Europ managed to push the Islamics back to the Midde East: the Crusades
Two people from the town I was raising my children in died on the flight that hit the south tower. Amy Sweeney was an airline stewardess. She was beautiful and had three young children. It was devastating.
I remember the Oklahoma City bombing.
Also Ruby Ridge.
The Oklahoma City attack showed me what evil was.
9/11 showed me at what lengths others would go to harm and terrify others.
me too I was in 3rd grade.
I am sure that the Americans had the same emotional reaction to the bombing of Dresden…. Oh wait….
I live in the UK but will never forget coming home from School and my family immediately telling me about this in shock and seeing it on the news on TV. No one forgets where they were when this happened even far away from the US. My heart breaks for what they went through.
I can still remember that day, I am a Kenyan and it was that time when I was in class one(1st grade), I came home from school and found my mom watching TV with shock and on finding out what was going on, I saw on CNN that the twin towers were attacked by the ill fated planes. May the souls of those who perished during the attacks rest in peace.

@@ChrisMasterGTASNot really we rely on the skies
I was in 5th grade and live on the west coast I got to watch the second plane hit and both towers fall then I went to school and everyone was talking about it.
@@ChrisMasterGTASincreible comentario. Es mejor no tener televisores, que no tener neuronas como perece que es tu caso.
I was in college in England in the morning my friend did a Doodle in my book i said " write the date next to it so we always remember this day" little did i know that day would never be forgotten, there just no words.
I will never forget what I did that day, that minute, when I, like millions of other people, saw live how the second plane flew into the North Tower. I was breastfeeding my 5-month-old son and my 2-year-old daughter was playing with Duplo bricks and I was watching a quiz show. This was then interrupted by the news with Peter Kloeppel reporting on a plane crashing into the World Trade Center and during the news the live pictures continued and you witnessed something you never wanted to see. It's unbelievable that it was 23 years ago, the memories are so engraved that it feels like yesterday and you're still struggling with the emotions. I'm not from America, but I still struggle with the images today and get goose bumps and tears run down my face. What must it be like for all those who were and still are directly affected as victims, as well as their relatives and all the emergency services? So many people did so many incredible things during this time and afterwards. I just wish that all those who were there and had to give their lives could rest in peace and that all relatives and friends could learn to deal with their incredible losses.🙏
I went to Ground Zero a couple of years later. My immediate thought was of that day. I don't think you can go there without thinking about it. How much dust, dirt and mayhem. It looked so clean now and it had a strange quiet and reverence to the area. The memorial is fitting and my husband and I looked for the name of his work colleague. He had worked at the American branch of his insurance company and my husband was in the London branch.
Same for me: Peter Klõppel on german TV and those terrible pictures you will never forget..
@ nashnonyhoney4066 the second plane flew into the South Tower, not the North Tower! Don’t mean to be annoying but this is a very important detail and we need to get the facts right for 9/11.
Betty Ong was the type of flight attendant that everyone hopes that they have on their flight. What amazing courage and calm she displayed on that horrific day. I hope her soul and all of the souls that lost their lives on 9/11 are at peace.
Amen
I’m an Indian and this came thru just on the heels of Kargil war. It was a confusing and messed up time for the world. I remember feeling if this is what the future held for us.
Greetings Sunita. I am a South African with an indian heritage. The events of 9/11 impacted the global community directly or otherwise. At that precise moment, what happened in NYC and Washington, set the tone for the rest of the world. Globally speaking, life has never been the same again. To some extent, your suspicion was correct....9/11 will never be removed from the future because of the reality that it can happen again.....9/11 demonstrated probabilities and expressed in the most regretable way the fragility of humanity against the forces of evil.
😂😂😂😂
I got bullied for being Indian after this happened and I was scared so I can definitely relate
Indians have a long history of poor treatment in America. Sitting Bull, Geronimo, Crazy Horse. And quite a few others. Terrible.
You Indians poke your noses everywhere
I'm Dutch and worked as a security gard in the nightshift. When I woke up that day at around 3 pm, and put on the television, I couldn't believe what I saw. This happening totally changed my world view. And not for the better.
me too, told my wife is RTL alread broadcasting a movie at this time, when i turned on the t.v.
@@Elvee-br7dr To me this became real eyeopener. I started to investigate the holy books of Islam and saw 9/11 fits it's teachings very well. Still think Islam is a huge problem.
I was born in 2011. I guess i am lucky that i did not have to see it, Yet i am very curious..
“security gard” apparently being a security guard has no education requirements…
Hi, je bent eigenlijk de eerste Nederlander die ik hoor die daar werkte… Hoorde je veel explosies voor de zogenaamde inslagen? Controlled demolition. WTC 1,2, en 7.
i wasn’t born yet when 9/11 happened and it’s fascinating hearing everyone’s stories of exactly where they were, what they were doing, their reaction to the news, and those who survived or were supposed to be there but weren’t. i’ve watched a lot of documentaries because i want to learn and understand the impact. rest in peace
It's interesting to see the reaction of people to 9-11-2001 who weren't even born yet. Such an intense day it was that some people in my high school class were crying at the footage being seen on TV. Esp at the live view of seeing people jump to their deaths out of the towers. This to going back home and watching my own mother pacing around the house and basically just saying nervously, "I don't know what to do." Like full fledge world war 3 was going to break out right away. In the few weeks that passed, you could feel the fear in the air. Especially among us younger guys who felt like we were going to get drafted into the military at any time.
have you seen "Loose change"?
My 13 year old daughter is learning about 9/11 this year and starting to comprehend the gravity of it.
I was 15, in my high school freshman class that just started a week prior to 9/11. I remember teachers in the hallways going door to door, yelling to the classes to turn on the TV’s and then it came on the loudspeaker to stop what we were doing and turn on the TV’s. What was loud with kids talking, goofing around, all of a sudden became dead silent while we watched in horror. Us young students having no idea what a terrorist attack even was or what it meant. Feels like we got a crash course in adulthood that day. It wasn’t until I found out one of my best friends Aunt & Uncle were on flight 11 out of Boston that day did I truly understand the carnage that occurred. Will never forget it. 🕊️🤍🕊️
Rip Janis Lasden & Don DiTulio.
The one thing that people who were born after it will never really get is just how it it kept getting worse and worse and then it just went beyond all imagination. One plane you think "oh no that's horrible" and you stress about the people who are trapped but its just like any other catastrophe. Then you see people falling and jumping out of the windows on live tv and even the news achors don't really believe what they just saw. It was the first time something so tragic was televized as it was happening. You think its a horrible accident. Then another plane hits and it's not something you heard about, it literally happened on tv as you were watching the other tower burn. Reporters are screaming, news anchors are screaming and you know this isn't a mistake anymore. Everything you felt for the people in the first plane and the first tower is now x2 AND x1000 because you know it was deliberate this time. Then the bodies just start dropping from the building and everyone's crying. Reporters. News casters. The people in the room with you. All because you know just how far they have to fall and how bad must it be in there for them to choose that. You keep looking at the roofs and the helicopters circling and realise NO ONE has escaped up there and NO ONE is going to be rescued. Including those people waving cloths from broken windows. As the towers burn you hear about other planes gone awol and you know that its going to happen again somewhere. Anywhere. But where?! You have to watch the tv to find out and so you watch the towers burn people alive or belch them out to the ground below. You know that first responders have to go up there and try to do something and you know they're going to die. It couldn't possibly be any worse, any more horrifying, any more tragic and then.... a tower starts collapsing and you see huge clouds of debris push into the streets onto the people below. Snaking its way through each street and going around corners like some massive shadow of death and since you've got a news helicopter eye's view... you see it chasing people as they run like tiny tiny ants. All to the sound of news crew screaming. Buildings dont just fall. You've never seen that before. It never even crossed your mind and now you're thinking about the other tower and you know its going to go down with people in the stairwells and firefighters climbing floors. But maybe it wont right?! Right?! That was just a fluke. Maybe they'll all get out right and it's not going to fall. Maybe. You have to watch to find out. Can they even get out if they want to? Did the debris of the other tower make that impossible? The questions are endless now. And then it falls. There's no more screaming, it's all quiet.
Considering your age, you may think that 20 years is a long time but in reality it will pass with a blink of an eye. You will know this 20 years from now.
My father and I stood on the 21st floor of tower 2 (south ) When flight 11 hit the north tower, my father in his infinite wisdom told me to follow him and get out. Although security told us to go back inside, we didn't. We left the building 3 mins before flight 175 struck. The things I've witnessed outside of the towers will forever stay with me. And has caused many problems later in my life as well as my father's. I thank God everyday that we made it out and j pray for the families of those who didnt. Because of my father being sick, I missed my job interview on September 7th. I could have very well been starting my new job on September 10th and would have been above the impact zone working on the 11th. I have 4 beautiful children who are here now and they know how close we came to the end.
I lost my one and only beloved uncle that day he was one of the best pilots ever Rest in Peace uncie 😢🕊️💔

Moreover should your administration being watchful, but they don’t!

I was 11 watching this in school when teachers were strictly told not to turn on the tvs. Even now it's hard to think of all the unimaginable losses we suffered as a country and yet how no matter our differences we all came together in the days, weeks, and months after that. To this day all of this brings tears to my eyes. To all the survivors and the families impacted, we will never forget and I'm so glad that you all are here and I'm thankful for each and every one of you.
I was 16 when the Challenges Space Shuttle blew up. All the schools were watching it live because a teacher was on board. She won the lottery be the first teacher to broadcast from space.
Man, my teachers rolled in the TV, and when I saw what was happening, I ran home no questioning or anything I wanted my mother and we watched the second plane hit live
That tragedy was "hell burst wide open in America."

I was a sophomore in high school when this happened.

It was a sound that I'll never forget.
I was last year of high school in Ireland last class in school about 3pm and never forget it, watched the whole thing live on TV and a day I will never forget.....rip to all the poor people
What’s so strange is that we remember how nice the weather was that day; not a cloud in the sky unlike the day before when NYC had rain and thunderstorms.
Yes, even in Pittsburgh, where I was at the time, my sister and I commented about how beautiful the weather was that morning before everything happened.
I get what you mean but weather acts independently on human activities.

You know it was America that destroyed those towers.
I’m British so we are 5 hours ahead of New York. I had just returned home from work and switched the TV on to watch the news so I saw the whole thing live. I think of the people who lost their lives every September. The memories are so detailed, terrible and heart breaking.
Dear Gillian Hatters-6613: UK (Elephant & Castle) to US/NY expat, I've spent much of my life craving the UK culture.
People need to *extremely love* something in and about the US that would want them to seek the "promised land" that even evades Dr. King's desires.
Only slept 3 hours last night, woke up a bit early for work and this was in my reccomended. Tired or not i got this kick in the ace i needed today to get going. If you’re old enough to of experienced this it's a feeling that never leaves. Rest in peace please.
Are you also shocked how the terrorist state of the US has invaded over 50 countries and over thrown 30 democratic governments killing millions?
I was 12, my mom was working as an in home caregiver who worked nights. She watched this on TV and immediately called my dad who was about to wake me up for school. He got me up and brought me into the living room with the TV on and tried to explain what was happening. While it didn’t make sense to me, everything that day was surreal. I cannot explain the somber feeling that surrounded me. My parents, my teachers, the world I knew, everything changed that day.
My sister-in-law’s brother was working at the Pentagon at the time. He was running late and hadn’t made it in that day.
You are absolutely right! Everything changed that day. My daughter doesn't realize this because she was only a year and four months old. Never forget ~ 9/11/01 ~ May all the people that lost their lives, Rest in eternal peace. 🕊
I was turning 12 I was in 1st period English class when the attacks happened and I'm guessing you born in 1989 just like me
Because it was live on tv.
For example in many wars, a lot more people (soldiers and civilians) die.
😢
I was also 12 years when this happened
My birthday is 9/11. I had just turned 12 that day. I could never forget that day. Just a sad devastating event in history 😢
Happy Birthday 35. My niece has her 27th birthday today. This overshadow never fades! Today I'm watching the Remembrance and keep choking up. So many deeply personal and moving testimonials about love and families.
I turned 17 years old on 9/11 when this happened. I had to leave school early and was with my mom (also her birthday too) and family the rest of the day just mourning over the tragic of what happened. It took years to understand that it was okay to celebrate my birthday again. I still get people telling me to this day when they see my birth date that they are sorry. Never forget.
I was at a dentist appointment when this happened. It was 3 days before my 11th birthday. I was waiting in the lobby with my mom when I remember seeing the receptionists' face turn white very abruptly. She has been in a conversation with someone and just stopped talking, which is why I looked at her. She turned the TV behind the counter towards the waiting room for everyone to see and all of us huddled around it and watched in horror. They evacuated the city where my dad worked, so we left the dentist to go downtown to pick him up. I was absolutely terrified. I remember just staring at all of the tall buildings and wanting to get home as soon as possible. When we were home, we just watched it on repeat....over and over. The immense sadness that I felt for the victims of this horrendous event has not changed. Their lives were stolen from them in an instant. My thoughts and prayers to all of the families that lost their dear ones that day.
That tragedy is one [awful] event that is not taken lightly because it was real as life itself.
I had just turned 11 about a month prior. I lived 2 hours north of NYC at this time. My school had an unplanned fire drill. All of the teachers were crying, but none would explain why. Parents started turning up to pick up their kids. My dad told me in the car. I cried the whole way home. When I got there my mom was watching live footage in the livingroom. I sat and watched with her for hours. A big chunk of my childhood innocence was definitely lost that day.
I was in class when one of my classmates burst into the classroom out of breath. Trying to tell us what happened. We listened for about a minute but it was kind of incoherent. Our teacher left the classroom and came back a few minutes later with a TV. She tried her best to explain to us what was going on but obviously no one really knew what was going on just yet. But we knew we were under attack. What a wild day that was. Rest in peace to everyone lost that day
Same thing for me!!! The only difference new york is in the same time zone as Quebec so it was early before class ! So the only thing left to do then is skip class and go watch it on tv and I saw the second plane hit! At first I thought it was a replay, took me few seconds to realize both towers were in smokes! TRAGEDY!😢
Makes no sense, too dramatic. try again

Why did so many teachers do this? wouldn't kids be traumatized? Was it the norm to show breaking events to the class? I was only in preschool at the time but I'm a teacher now and couldn't imagine showing this to kids. Highschoolers maybe
I was working at midtown Manhattan on 9/11. I saw WTC collapse from my office. I can never forget the image. It still haunts me. My friend worked at WTC, I cried my heart out not knowing she made it safe or not. Luckily she escaped. That was the last time I cried.
As a native Black New York male, the tragedies worked my nerves so terribly that all I could not stand was those people were killed and injured at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and all who were killed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Such story really leads me to feel "sick in the head."
As someone who lived through this it's strange to see this after all these years yet it's still a fresh memory. I was 21 and stayed at the Millennium Hilton
I remember my teacher watching in horror. Her sister was on the first plane. She came back to school for the next year, but she was never the same cheerful person she used to be. She quit after that and i dont think anyone heard from her since. I hope shes okay or at least as okay as she can get. Id lose my shit if i lost my sister
Here I am watching this again as it comes up to the 23rd anniversary of this horrific day. We will never forget.❤
As a Black male born in New York, the tragedy is etched within the recesses of my brain just like my jagged nerves. I will never forget it for the rest of my natural life.☹
I am a Brit and I've been to NY and the very sobering Ground Zero. I remember being on the subway a few years ago and looking around at the faces of those old enough to remember that fateful day with nothing but admiration and respect. New Yorkers are a different kind of people, made tough by the tragedy they had to endure. May all those that perished on that day rest in piece. Proud to stand with my American brothers and sisters.

My granddaughter is in 4th grade, in NJ. 9/11 was not talked about in school. We must never let this horrible day fade away. Please tell your children, age appropriate, about 9/11/2001. I focused on the many heroes and a little on the "bad people" including the planes and security are much safer now. I don't want her afraid to fly.
I was 11 years old in fifth grade, and the teacher came into the room. The tears in her eyes, the next thing I knew, we were out on early release, came home, and it was all on the news.
To Cedric Martin 2504, Only skeletons of the internet existed then:
no UA-cam, Google, Facebook, etc.
Regular media and television fed news and information that people consumed and discussed together.
Today, with all the internet and millions of mediocre media choices, the majority of youth -- and others, wouldn't know if the WTC buildings fell down.
They would be too engrossed.
The tragedy was "hell bust wide open in America."
I am a Zambian this was just three months after I got married I felt bad as if the world has ended, God bless bless America
I'm in Australia and I watched some of this as it was happening and have never forgotten it. Pure evil hit America that day. It will affect me for the rest of my life. God bless all those poor darlings who passed away....forever in my thoughts
I'm in the medical field and during covid I found myself coming to these videos to see people helping each other during things like this since people were being so horrible to each other. I was in the army during 9/11 and it changed my life. My husband is also in medicine in the army and he's had 3 inpatient hospital stays at the VA in the past 2 years.
Salute the modern heroes, firefighters, disaster risk team, police officers, medical team, and those who voluntarily help in that tragic times. God bless America. 🇺🇸 ❤

Crazy how it’s been over 2 decades. I still remember exactly what I was doing as it happened. I was in 6th grade… now I’m 35😮😮
Me, too. I was 12, now 35.
@@richavadinisingh i was 11 also .
Same
I was in 3rd. Remember it well. The teacher was pulled out of the room after the second impact. We went home shortly after. I was close enough to walk home. As I got home, i watched one of the towers collapse (2nd hit) on TV... though I was still too young to understand. Hell, I'm pretty sure I just went and played Crash Bandicoot.
Me too!! I’m 36 now. SMH. I remember it was a little station that came on and they would air little current and international events for middle schoolers/ high schoolers. Students, the teacher and whoever else was ready to watch the 15 min news. ( anything to not do work )…. The news came on was talking about what had just happened.. we all cried and just couldn’t believe it. It’s still so very shocking.
2001, I was a Freshman in college when this happened. It was the school mid day break time at our university in Manila and we were all watching the news on the TV in the canteen. All of us there, students, teachers and staff were shocked as things unfolded right before our eyes while we were having our lunch. This day is truly unbelievable and will never be forgotten. God bless the souls of the departed, including the brave heroes, soldiers, firefighters, police officers, security, volunteers, and healthcare workers who responded to the rescue and sacrificed their lives. I also pray for peace in the hearts of those that they left behind, also for those still seeking justice for the lives lost in this unfortunate period in world history.
I wasa 14 years old here in NYC when the Twin Towers were destroyed, and I miss them everyday. I went on the roof of the South Tower as a child back in 1994, the year after the 93 bombing. The Twin Towers was my #1 favorite spot here in NYC. I still remember everything from that day. I sadly witnessed the collapse of the North Tower. I still have 9/11 trauma to this very day.
and New York City was safe and clean back then. Mayor Giuliani took good care of the city. America was prosperous. People were for the most part patriotic. America wasn't in so much debt or invaded by millions of people flooding the southern border. So much has changed since that day. I don't recognize my country anymore.
Trauma here too. Watched both towers collapse on TV, which my middle school had in each room. The principal at the time had every teacher turn on their respective TVs so we could all watch it.
I’m so sorry you’re traumatized Terrell ❤️🩹. 9/11 was horrible for so many of us. I hope, as a nation, we will someday realize that this tragedy touched more than those that were directly in the vicinity of the towers. ❤️🩹
I was in Asia when it happened.. The world mourned and will never forget 9/11..
I visited the ground zero last week my heart was heavy and I could not help my tears from falling. Praying for their souls over and over again.

I'm from Europe and had grown up on british forces bases in the UK and Germany, as the son of an army sergeant. I was at work that day and after hearing the initial broadcast that a plane had hit the first tower I decided to go home early to understand what had happened. The idea that a plane crashed just didn't sit right with me. I couldn't explain my feelings. At home I followed the events of that day in disbelief. A sadness gripped me that I still feel to this day when 911 comes up.
The jumping men and women touched my soul so hard it brought tears to my eyes. Just thinking of their families and friends and the grief the people had to experience that day. Knowing that the brave first responders were trying hard to rescue people and getting killed in the process. Seeing them covered in dust, people covered in dust on the streets. Fleeing in the thousands. I imagined what the people trapped in the towers were experiencing.
Then watching molten metal pouring from the corners of the buildings, and the free fall speed of the collapsing towers. Both towers collapsed in identical fashion.
In the following five years I researched every possible explanation of what happened, especially in light of the wars that ensued in Iraq and Afghanistan. A neo con think tank paper " the project for a new American century" published just a few years prior comes to mind
Then the idea that the government had an explanation within hours of why and how it happened.
The vice president Dick Cheney and his cronies making large profits from the wars with their military industrial complex, all paid for by the American people. Dollar Plus and no bid contracts all resulted in what is now 35 trillion US debt. The whole of the western world is drowning in debt, but a few thousand individuals, their families and corporations have high jacked the assets and the financial future of the western nations.
To this day I don't know what I can believe. Why and how it happened. Who benefited from this desaster.
Larry Silverstein and his dodgy double insurance claim, building number 7 collapsing and being announced by the BBC 20 min before it happened. Honest firemen saying they heard bombs detonating and telling reporters Building 7 was being pulled. Then watching it coming down in a controlled way.
The pentagon accounting department being hit a day after Rumsfeld declared that 2 trillion dollars were unaccounted for in the DoD Budget. All documentation unfortunately lost in the fire.
Bush senior had declared a new world order on the horizon some years earlier. A CIA man who had been involved in shady buisness around the bay of pigs and the Kennedy Assassination.
Life changed on that day. The world changed for ever on September 11, 2001. The new century started with a horrendous crime smashing the hopes for a bright and peaceful future.
It felt like evil powers had drowned the optimism of the new century. Freedom and liberty had been suffercated by the debt based financial system and governments ecpanding control in the war on terror. Domestic government surveillance on its own people.
As humanity we are more devided than ever. Conflict has never stopped in the past 23 years, recently reaching Europe once again with Ukraine being destroyed in a proxy war. Gaza now just a heap of rubble and millions people affected by death and destruction. Israel and the Middle East without a solution.
9-11 affected my life more than I ever thought it would, even though I was thousands of miles away.
To the people who suffered loss of life and loss of loved ones on 9-11. To the brave people who put their own wellbeing at risk to save others. Thank you. Every story I hear gives me a little hope for humanity. You are forever in my thoughts and in my prayers, because without your efforts I might dispair thinking about the future of my children and their future children.
God bless you all.
Thank you. You are aware of the truth.
I fully woke up in October 2021 after the 20th anniversary of 9/11. I didn't have to do much research to realise it was an inside job. I then said to myself, oh my god, everything I have ever been told is a lie! Have been down many rabbit holes since!
When the cop said " You can't help nobody right now ." ..Very deep and heartbreaking 😢
I will never forget 9/11. Heavily pregnant with my youngest son due date was October 5th. My dear late father-in-law was fixing the lock on our front door, had Sky news on but volume was down. Saw images of first tower and turned volume up to witness live the second plane like millions of others around the world. I sobbed at all the stories of the people that lost their lives and still do. My son was born 3 days later on the 14th. R.I.P to all who sadly lost their lives😢
Every September that rolls around since that day still has a heavy feeling for me. New stories emerge or a new documentary comes out and it's right back to that day. Never forget.
worst day of my life!! this occured and my grandma went into cardiac arrest watching tv and died. it was horrible for me. i still have PTSD from it
I'm so sorry for your loss. I just now came across this video and saw your comment. 😢
I’m so very sorry 😢❤ hugs.
You have PTSD but you're here sharing this and watching the documentary? Doubting this
@@yoteonthetoobs attention seeking for pity these days
@@yoteonthetoobs im not sharing this. i simply clicked to see and remind myself never to forget the thousands of Americans lost that day. it reminds me how fast life goes by......dont judge others you know nothing about. its my life not yours
I was 18, at college in the UK. I got home just before the second plane hit and watched the horrifying events unfold on TV. I will never forget that day and my heart goes out to all those who lost loved ones. Time will never diminish the shock and tragedy of that day.
Same here pal I was 17 coming home on bus from my first job finished at dinner hour came home me mum watching it telling me what's just happened then watched the second plane hit other tower was sad sad day that😢😢😢
I was 17, and from Wales, skiving off school and watching mtv as I did some coursework. Can’t believe it’s been almost 23years.
I was 9 years old when this happened 😢😢 watched the news from Nagaland, india 🇮🇳. Every time it just breaks my heart 😢😢😢😢
I can't stop thinking about those who were trapped alive in the two towers 😢😢😢
Also, I cannot overcome the fact that there were people inside the jets and the Pentagon. That thing is what makes the tragedy awfully hellified. I just cannot get it out of my "damned" head.
Twenty three years ago, I was still in my late 50's. Now I realize how quickly time passes by. It seems like I was just a senior in high school, and it seems like I just graduated from Navy boot camp and went overseas. It reminds me of something that Lord Tennyson wrote. What am I but a child crying in the night ?
This extraordinary documentary makes it all come back as if it happened yesterday. Kudos to the producers. May we NEVER forget.
Welles Crowther worked as an equities trader and was also a volunteer firefighter. He ran dozens of floors upstairs with a gas mask in full fireman gear to reach the people in distress. He reached them but they could not get down in time. Welles Crowther's bravery and heroism on 9/11 will never be forgotten.
If you were old enough to have watched this whole event unfold live on TV, you'll know what an absolutely insane day that was. If it was a movie you'd say no way that could happen that way. As incredible as it was to watch I hope I never see anything like that again.
As it unfolded on TV, the first thing I said to my coworkers (on the 21st floor of the second-highest building in Denver) was, "Why haven't the WTC buildings collapsed"? They all smirked and laughed at my naivete. They were wrong; I was right. That awful day is seared into my memory. Horrible, to this day.
I just can't get it out of my head.
I have bipolar disorder, and in 2001, I "woke up" from a manic phase. The next day was 9/11, and a horrible way to return to reality. That triggered an anxiety condition that has stayed with me to this day. But still, nothing compared to those who lost those they loved and cherished. It still feels like yesterday.
It's Strange how we all drift back to these documentaries And news casts around the early part of September It's because we are now in the digital era And it is the digital era That will keep reminding us of these tragic events On our cell phones Watches and tablets For the next hundred years
It’s like how my grandfather, a WWII vet, would always randomly go back to watching wwii docs
Seems there's always something I haven't heard or seen before.
yes, thank God for that but not the tragic loss of life, may all these victims of pure evil rest in Peace in the Lord's light🇺🇸💞🇮🇱🌠
In a hundred years, the twin towers will be viewed how people view Titanic or the Halifax explosion.
Yes
I was 2 years and 11 months old and laying on the carpet in my living room, unbeknownst to what I was watching as my parents were watching the tv. I can say with absolute certainty this was my first ever memory. I thought nothing of it as expected for someone my age, but every documentary i see pop up fascinates me in such an unusual sense. It brings out unknown emotion that I haven't felt before, of which I simply cannot explain.
I was a news editor and anchor at a Radio station in Nigeria at the time. I had just finished the World News bulletin and was getting ready to start working on the News In Brief bulletin which will be aired 3 hours later. All of a sudden, out deputy director of News rushed into the newsroom and asked me to switch to CNN that America is under attack. I did as he said and was horror stricken with what I saw on TV. I quickly prepared a breaking news. I knew immediately that Osama Bin Laden was behind the attack because I read his interview in Times magazine in 1998 where he treatened to wage war on America.

And i did not know that Ziad who hijacked United 93 was about to pull out of the mission. He could have saved so many that day
I turned 18 the previous Spring. Welcome to adulthood! This is a crazy world ❤
I’m close in age to you! I turned 18 less than a month after 9/11. Remember it like it was yesterday
I was 21 when it happened, l was at home studying for an exam,but still on the end of lunch break (l'm from Milan, it was almost 3pm),flipping through the channels and I saw Cnn had just started showing the first tower,so l saw the second plane hit . I remember being kind of numb,shocked,didn't answer any calls (in Italy everything else stopped, we all went all in front of the tv). The first time l went to NYC and visited the memorial l cried the whole time.
l traveled both for work and for leisure all over the States,my best friend moved with her husband to NYC in 2014 and her kids are American.
I JUST LOVE YOUR COUNTRY SO MUCH.
I'm not used to comment let alone this personal and long stuff,but l don't know,with the anniversary and watching this video all the emotions came rushing back. All the love and prayers for the victims, their families and the first responders who paid the price later 🙏 ❤ 🇺🇸 ❤🎉💔
i'm from germany and back then when this happened i was at a seminar... we were all called to the tv to see what was happening.... I still can't forget it today...
I remember exactly where I was when this happened. I was on the road for work and was listening to talk radio while commuting from Tampa to Orlando, FL. They were very hesitant about what they were reporting. I called my husband and son (who was home sick) to see if they had the TV on. I was still about 40 minutes away from my destination. When I got to my client in Orlando, the whole building was watching and I watched it along with them. I remember how many years it took me to stop looking into the sky when I heard a plane overhead. A stunningly sad, horrible event that will live with me as long as I'm on this earth. So much love and blessings for all who lost loved ones and for the brave first responders. No loss is ever good, but this one should never leave our memories; we forget the past and thus invite history to repeat itself. Please, no! Never again!
