    I lost it when the father said that the one femur bone that was all that was left of Christina was as big as she was when she was born.
    I cannot imagine how traumatic the mother felt realizing that day she spent with her only child literally a day later she would be dead and all that's left of her is part of one of her femur bones....
    My heart breaks and goes out these poor parents as well as all victims and their families. Tomorrow marks 23 years and I have not forgotten and I still remember... 😭💔🇺🇸🙏🏼

      Such a sad story. Btw it’s 22 years not 23 years. So many people weren’t found either cause of the wreckage, they’re bodies where incinerated.

    Just imagine spending time with your child one day and then less than 24 hours later, you lose that child suddenly and so violently. And the only remains they could drudge up is a femur bone??? Just really digest that and think of how you'd feel in their shoes. I really can't understand people who lack basic, human empathy.😔

    Sometimes I wonder if people had premonitions. The question she asked her best friend is chilling.

    • @awkwardmyrtle
      @awkwardmyrtle Рік тому +23

      I definitely think so. They might not even know they're having a premonition, just feel a sudden need to say or do something. I lost touch with one of my close highschool friends shortly after we graduated. She contacted me 7 years later out of the blue saying she missed me and we should get together, but she passed away in a car accident a month later. It could have been a coincidence, but I wonder if there was some sort of pull to make contact with people that had been important to her

    She was born in the same year as me and now 20 years on I have had kids and they are almost adults......That would be the saddest part to not watch your child have their own kids or travel or move up in their career. You just don't get to see any of that because their life has ended so early.

    It was chilling when she told her friend to take care of her parents if anything was to happen to her. I’m assuming that maybe she had dreams of something terrible that was gonna happen. Because, why would u say that? What we say is what’s in on hearts first before we speak it. Her parents are such beautiful people that produced a beautiful daughter. U can tell they really love her and that her life was one to celebrate and remember.

    It’s always difficult to hear 9/11 stories, even 22 years later. I do love to hear about each victim and their story. What their life was like. It’s a way to allow their families and us as a country, to honor their lives. We lost so much that day. I’m still angry about it. God bless the victims of 9/11, both living and dead, and their families. We will never forget 9-11-01.

      @Kruimeltjegek Best practice would have been to give the remains to the coroner and have them contact the family to ass what they would like done with it.. Imagine a cop shows up at your door and says, "We found some of your daughter. Here's a piece of her leg bone."

    • @keithb372
      @keithb372 Рік тому +1

      @Kruimeltjegek Not to be morbid, but it's interesting that some people were found intact while others were not found at all. Talking about the building collapse. I would have thought that since everyone experienced the same thing, the bodies would have all been in the same or similar condition. But some were found identifiable while others were ground into dust.
