To anyone that survived 9/11 (incl. EMS workers who risked their lives to save others), if no one has ever told you, I am so thankful that you are still here with us and that you managed to find the strength to make it one more day. You are loved, appreciated, and are very important to us!
@@bigratmonster If you got nothing nice to say, why not keep it to yourself? Theres thousands of people that lost loved ones that day. And you seemingly have a problem with someone expressing their graditude towards survivors, that are most likely still struggling every single day and will continue doing so until the end of their life.
If so many people died, why did you not see even 1 family heartbroken the next few days. No Tv coverage when they "live to flash sad faces" on TV. There is one person who does know who blew up the towers. Every 9-11 how come they don't have families there? Or on TV? Don't believe everything media say's. They STILL are making fake news.
Sorry for the victimes and their family but please tell me how many hundreds of thousands the US Army have killed after this incident? They claimed that Afghanistan was behind it, they invade it and killed dozens of thousands of innocent people who wanted to live peacefully exactly as the ones in this documentary. But you know what? You believe that you’re human beings but other are not that’s the sad story.
The story of Stanley and Brian has always been my favorite 9/11 story. It tells me that true friends can be found in the darkest times and in times of crisis. To this day, Stanley and Brian remain close friends and they share their story often.
I was thinking the same I was a kid when I watched it originally on nat geo. It’s also crazy to see how much they have aged realizing it’s been 20 plus years
When he said they were blood brothers. And shook hands. I cried. Something so pure happening in the darkest most horrendous moment of your life. A brother for life. It made me cry so much!
It does it to me too, every single time I oddly end up finding my way right back to these videos…It’s such an incredible moment, that you can almost see it happening as they are telling the story. It’s just crazy how a totally stranger could be the one to save your life, or be the one to take it. Life….its so fragile, ya know.🥲😌
@@boogitybear2283 Right??! Also, at the last second (right before Flight 175 hit the South Tower), Stanley said that he cried out, "Lord, you take over!" Well, He sure did! :)
I was 19 years old. Doing my national service at Singapore air force. We had many US servicemen who are stationed at our airbase. I was working at the air traffic and we got the news at 10pm Singapore time. We went over to meet the Americans in our base who were grieving over the news. One of them, Eddie, a young serviceman, his father eventually died as he was working at the South Tower. When i eventually went to New York, i paid my respects to the deceased.
The way Stanley tells his story is remarkable. With each time he's told it over the years he's been able to peel back layers upon layers. It never gets old of him telling his story. You can feel his pain, sincereness, regret but also his insight. So many people lived to tell in such horrific deal of this day in human history. We have not healed from this emotionally and we are feeling the affects of this in our society until this day.
I was supposed to be there for a business meeting but I canceled it and said we’ll do it next week. When I went into the office and saw the event unfold I was speechless. I quit smoking and drinking that day.
@@jsl2411This is a very serious matter, and I don’t think making accusations of a false story are fitting, as you have no evidence to prove it is false. While it 100% could be, it’s also unlikely. I personally wouldn’t make something up about such a tragic, and serious event.
@Abindianayahit was a different time for sure. But I don't really miss it though because overall, we were cocky, oblivious and ignorant... Which is why it was so easily pulled off to start with.
Thanks to all the therapists, social workers, and psychologists and those who helped healed the mental state of those affected. Your efforts were tremendous.
When Stanley speaks, you can occasionally see his eyes drift off or close. You know that he is seeing all those events again as if he was right back in the tower.
😢 I couldn’t imagine what took place in the towers that day. I have a hard enough time reliving my experience of that day. I just saw the new footage from kei satumorgi? I can’t remember the last name so excuse me, but I started hyperventilating and crying my eyes out all over again. I honestly hate seeing this again and again… but I’ll never be able to forget it either.
@@candacyollivierra749 September 11, 2001 will never be forgotten! I don't care if people say that it was ancient history! The wounds from that day will never heal!
Brian and Stans story is truly amazing and heartbreaking at the same time. To know those other people who went out could have possibly made it out wit them is sooo sad.
Brians story is truly amazing though. Like the guy almost had a perfect Guardian angel every step of the way because the guy was literally just one step ahead of disaster each time. And he actually made it all the way back to jersey on the same day. Like wow. He caught the very last ferry. All the way from the towers where the floors were hit to jersey in one swoop.
I was 22 years old when this happened. Now I'm 44, and it feels as if it was yesterday. Hearing about those events and about the fate of the people that were affected by them still makes me tear up.
Same age bro, I was living in Buffalo at the time in college I remember half asleep and watching the news so confused it was like watching a movie. Couldn't believe it was real.
Who here is watching these videos 23 years later and still crying 😢😢😢 Edit:omg guys 999 likes thank you…..this is a very bad day and my meme is obviously not ok
I am from Morocco. I was 32 years old then and now 50 years old. I was watching the news at one o’clock in the afternoon here in my country and it was completely unreal. We are now in 2024, and I am still shocked whenever I see these events because they involve a lot of suffering for the victims. May God have mercy on them all. Amen.
Every once in awhile I come back to these documentaries as a reminder of the events of that day and it feels like it happened yesterday. I was in the library of my high school in Sault Ste Marie ON, watching all this unfold. 😢I will absolutely never forget the brave men and women that made it through that day. REST IN PEACE to all of those who didn’t make it. NEVER FORGET.
I'm actually thankful for all the people who recorded. I never think to record, I'm not that person, but these things should be witnessed. I see people nowadays saying "why are you recording?" "Why are you recording at a time like this?" This is why, we need to see this. We need to remember it happened. The people who think "we need to have this, we need to see this" are the people who preserve history. No matter what their reason is, they preserve history.
I agree, but it depends. The people that were recording this had no way of helping the situation at all. They were completely helpless. So I don't mind that they recorded. What drives me crazy is the people that watch someome getting mugged or beat or are in a car wreck and they just stand there and record. Those are the worst people.
Things like this have happened. Situations where most people die, some survive. This happened with someone my parents and I know. This woman was a manager at the bank in the town where my parents and I lived, this group of high school students robbed it, and they shot her in the head and she survived. So yes, things like this do happen.
I seriously doubt she was a jumper. She probably got hit by a big chunk or large part of the plane or something else heavy. No jumper would be conscious.
It is hard to say if she jumped or got hit either way was a tragedy , Was so sad hearing this part , at least he was trying to reassure she'd be okay even though he knew better .
@@infactportugal people have been known to survive anything.. one guy survived getting his whole face shot off another survived falling from a plane as it crashed so Yea most likely someone who jump and landed feet first leaving there upper body intact long enough to survive
I was 18 years old on Sept 11, 2001. It was my first semester in college. I will never forget that day. It was very surreal. In the days after, Americans united like never before. It was something beautiful to see from such a horrible tragedy.
I’m an Australian, I never lost or knew anyone during September 11th, but I realise the amount of importance the memorial shrine has to some of these families. Thank you to any emergency workers who risked their lives for others and may have died for their country, god bless their souls.
It is organized by AMERICA!!! They wanted to attack iraq and wanted an excuse. Sadam was trying to sell oil in gold currency. If oil is not traded in dollars , usa will loose all the power n vanish... That's why 9/11 happened. Thanks to those killers in the goverment. They used nuclear in the basement. Because the iron was melted and the dust clouds is a reaction from a small nuclear.
Despite the immense tragedy, the compassion and willingness of these people to help anyone they came across who needed it is inspiring. Huge respect to the people of NYC that day, from the unbelievably brave firefighters and police to the heroic deeds of the ordinary citizens.
It’s sad that a tragedy has to happen for people to come together, but it gives me hope that I could potentially be saved if I’m in involved in one. I also hope that others around me know that, in the event of a tragedy, I will do what I can to help.
Don’t know if it’s just me but when I read comments saying “I wasn’t born yet”, I almost feel my heart skip a beat realizing it’s been that long. Surreal, I’ll never forget that day. Amazing documentary. RIP.
I'm from Argentina and I was 5 when this happened, so it's almost like I wasn't born yet, I was too little to comprehend, so basically the only things I knew about the attack where years later. I remember when I was like 13, it got my curiosity and searched videos about it here on youtube, and I was shocked, I even cried after looking at them, I realized how crazy the situation was, even more than I previously thought.
My cousin was being born that morning. His mom watched the second tower get hit while in labor. Crazy to think such a big moment in history started out as a normal day. And that the world was forced to carry on. Rip everyone there
I can't stop watching the documentaries and movies about 911 I was 19 yrs old when it happened I had a 5 month old baby watched the news that morning and I felt so scared what is happening to this world and each year goes by and it only gets worse. To everyone in the world God bless you
I still get chills down my spine when seeing the footage of the tower collapsing. God bless all those who have passed, all those who suffered after, and all those saved countless lives through their heroic actions.
It's heart breaking too painful and unimaginable. This event turned the world around, so much sadness so much pain so much destruction so much heartache, I was watching the 9/11 documentary" Loose Change" and the scenes really made me cry.😢😢❤❤
In 1997 I got detailed, accurate, explicit intelligence about the attacks of September 11, 2001. For four years at least 100 people got this information from me, free, no strings attached, right up to and through the night of September 10, 2001. This means law enforcement were given the details in time ( 1997, 1998, early 2001 ) to act and prevent. For more detailed facts, search in you tube----John Shaw Attacks of September 11, 2001.
It's so sad yet disgusting how our Countries air-ports security people failed their jobs , I fly in the summers and not even allowed certain sizes of sun-screen !!!!
22 years later it is still mind-boggling that people in the south tower were told everything was fine and to go back to their offices. Only 8 years after the '93 bombing whoever was in charge should have told everyone in the south tower to evacuate after the first tower was hit. So aggravating.
That was their order though. Everybody evacuating out the north tower plus the south tower would have been equivalent to a riot. Plus, they still thought it was a tragic accident, not an attack. I see it the other way. I can’t imagine being the guard who was ordered to tell those people to go up only for another plane to hit
Well, not much has changed. The people of Maui were held back from leaving Lahaina and the majority of them burned to death. Hilary Clinton blew off Ben Ghazhi, and the FBI fails us over and over and over. They seem to be too busy chasing soccer moms.
I cried like a baby watching this. Never seen this documentary before Ive seen numerous ones on this day. But I never get tired of learning from peoples stories and learning from the families of those who passed on that day how they kissed their loved ones that day not knowing that would be the last. My heart goes to all my American brothers and sisters whos lives were affected by this horrible attack. May God bless you tenfold! Love you guys and I mean that. ♥️
I am exactly the same. I was 20 at the time, and still remember exactly where I was, and what I did that day. My heart hurt badly for the victims, their families, and their friends,, and all of the emergency services involved. I think a little bit of my heart died that day.
People die in Afghanistan, Libya and Syria on a daily basis! Tell your governments to stay away from other nations business! Tell them to stop their warmongering! Tell them to stop funding terrorist activities and pitching brother nations against each other! Osama bin Laden was a product of US terrorist funding! He woke up one day and realised what that nation really is! What goes around, comes around! What is good for the goose, is equally good for the gander! Every life is important under this sun! Never forget that
Its not even true. The guy who made up this story had severe mental health issues during this. He was just hallucinating due to the stress of the event.
I live in Japan. I was two years old at the time, and she remembers my mother watching the news and being shocked. I pray that a tragedy like this will never happen again in America or the world. I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the victims. You will remain in our hearts forever.
I was 8 and remember coming back from school, going to the front window of the house and my mother watching it on the tv in kitchen, strangely thats the only part i remember, dont remember watching the news about it that day and in the weeks that followed
I’m still a bit horrified by this, mainly because you can’t even begin to understand how she even got down or did her body fall from up that high I can’t even begin to piece it in my head visually. Not like the doc with lady and half her torso crushed and presumed dead story.
This is hands down my favorite documentary on 9/11. I had to purchase this on Amazon last year. I loved that they take you through the entire day by the survivors and people who were unfortunate to see that day live. No narrator. Hearing their stories made me cry. Made me feel as if I was there that day. I watch these often as my small way of paying a tribute to the victims and their families. I was 6 when this happened, but it was my first core memory as a child and has stuck with me since. God bless the victims and their loved ones left behind to deal with the aftermath 🌹 Edit: I want to add that this day had a tremendous impact on me as a child. It’s the reason why I became an air traffic controller and why I’m currently getting my masters in Aviation Safety. God bless their souls
how can something soo Grusome be ur Favorite Entertainment Past Time is this how u Stimulate ur Mind that U Bought A Dooms Day DVD From Amazon As Past Time 🤔🤔🤔🫵🏿🫵🏿🪞🪞 Soo Keeping Up with The Kardashine Fell Off
It's heart breaking too painful and unimaginable. This event turned the world around, so much sadness so much pain so much destruction so much heartache, I was watching the 9/11 documentary" Loose Change" and the scenes really made me cry.😢😢😢❤
I remember all those sheets of paper flying in the wind. Thousands and thousands of papers that held information considered important. At one point, someone was impatiently waiting for those papers, and someone else worked late because of a deadline involving those papers. And now they were entirely insignificant.
I actually had to pause for a second and take a short walk around my room because I was so livid at that. The ones saying "We don't have all day" had no idea how right they were.
Makes me mad but I can understand why they did that. We're all prisoners of our own experiences, the lessons we think we've learned. People were trampled while leaving after the 1993 bombing. Clearly it was a bad mistake to tell them to stay/return.
Seeing Debbie joyfully play with her plushie, just happy to be alive, made my heart swell. Even amongst all the horror and tragedy, there was also so much human persistence and perseverance. This documentary is a real rollercoaster of emotion.
I was 21. Recovering from 90s civil war in Croatia. That day in NY - it felt like war never ended. It just goes around the world spreading evil and sadness. Today, after coronavirus, new wars, earthquakes in Zagreb/ Petrinja 2020., it's so hard to watch this knowing that nothing really changed.
That’s what life has always been survival of the fittest, fighting to live and pass on stronger genes. Humans have always been violent and territorial.
My wife and I were honeymooning in New York from New Zealand. Our first night was September 10th. My wife, an economics major, had been offered a tour of the World Trade Center the next day. It sounded boring, so I persuaded her not to do it as this was our once in a life time New York trip and I wanted us to do something more interesting. Jesus....
I am so tired of people coming on here fishing for likes and making up stories. This was a freaking tragedy, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Karma will come your way. Just absolutely sickening.
this is incredibly made. i’m sobbing, thank you for letting these survivors share their stories and letting them tell the day in their view. i’m so glad i didn’t see this in school though, because i am seriously sobbing. i’m so glad we can remember and help these people heal from this devastating attack. i’m speechless
I was 17, a senior in high school in Philly. My dad traveled and worked for WTC I and was laid off one year prior. I felt so good my dad life was spared and felt horrible that this had to happen to many others.
Being a logical thinker instead of an emotional thinker does not make you cold hearted… it makes you a survivor bc you can think situations through during times when others are freaking out
I was 8 when this happened. Like many my age it was confusing watching my teacher be in shock then trying to wrap my mind around what my parents told me. I watched many documentaries in school and while they made me realize the depth of the situation. It wasn’t until I visited NYC last year and visited the memorial site that I truly got it. Those names on the reflection pools and looking at how big they are caused me to look up at the sky. It was a beautiful day, just like the morning of 9/11. I just pictured the jumpers, the height of those buildings, the people rushing to get out and then the sound of the planes hitting made me extremely emotional. I just hope those who lost their lives went fast and painless. 🥺❤️
A salute to the emergency responders who didn't just risk, but gambled their lives to pull others back from the brink. These are the unsung heroes who embody the epitome of selflessness, sacrificing their own safety in the relentless pursuit of saving lives. We honor those who paid the ultimate price-may they rest in eternal peace.
23 years ago I was 23. It’s hard to believe this was half my lifetime ago because it feels like it just happened yesterday. It makes me cry on every anniversary of this tragedy.
I was a Junior in high school when this happened I remember everything about that day and no matter how many times I have hear Brain and Stanley’s story it still brings me to tears. They saved each other ❤ I still can’t believe this all really happened and I watched so much of this as it was happening. My heart goes out to everyone who was effected by that day god bless ❤
I was a freshman. I had just started school the week before. It's terrifying for a 14 year old girl to see that our country is being attacked and that we were going to war. And fearing when the next attack would be or if there would be an attempted invasion. I remember going to school the next day and a few seniors randomly coming into our class and telling our teacher - did you see what happened Miss? When I graduate later this year im gonna sign up to join the war. This was echoed by his friends and a few boys in my class. Of course a decent amount of them joined and a few were sent over seas and then came back not the same again.
Here we are, 22 years later. Still one of if not THE most traumatizing event in American history. May we never forget those who lost their lives on that day.
Never forget Building 7 that wasn’t hit by any plane and fell at free fall speed on the same day. That building was wired for demolition, and if that building was wired for demolition, so were the other 2. And what a coincidence that all three were Owned by the same Jew, Silverstein.
For us that saw this from far away on television, how hard it was to imagine it happening. I hear the stories of the people that lived it in person, and it breaks my heart. The pain that day, the pain years after, and the pain to this day. May all the victims rest in eternal peace. We will never forget you. 🙏
@@cathypierce3170 Maybe quit drinking the cool aid for a minute and ask yourself why they did what they did? Hmm? Its not just a few people in America that have suffered in the last 30 years. Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in the Middle East either directly or indirectly by America.
@@cathypierce3170 Their culture rejoiced that day. They cheered and laughed. I think on some level that it would be kind of us to recognize that they were all caught up in similar things that we have and feel here. Those people weren't evil. They weren't born evil. They were brought up in a culture and a system that bred violence as an answer to their problems. Not so different from us. If they were monsters, then we are monsters.
I was an Air Force reservist at the time… my superiors called me a few hours after this happened and said to get my uniforms packed and be ready to go at a moments notice. I was so ready to do anything to help…. I remember how our country came together and just wanted to help each other.❤
Everyone came together then, people wanted to do anything, and then they attacked a totally different country ….people were confused. That’s how they got away with it . Trauma based acceptance of that war .
Both of my parent’s are from New York and I’m from Virginia. Planes crashed in both states which I couldn’t believe and my mom lost some friends in the twin towers. I currently live in NY and everytime I walk past the 9/11 memorial it reminds me of how many people lost their lives😢😢 RIP to all the victims❤
I can still remember this day so clearly, as if it were yesterday... Just because it was so long ago doesn't mean it gets any less bad. These images are straight out of a terrible movie. So inhuman, so terrible! No words for it. Luckily my neighbor was able to escape. Rest in peace to all who lost their lives. And strength and power for those who have lost a loved one.❤😢
Same. It was night time here in Australia. My older brother was staying with me on holidays. When the second plane hit, my brother said if Iran or Iraq is behind this WW3 is about to start. 22 years on I still remember those words. We sat all night just watching in disbelief the tragedy unfolding. Even today it doesn't seem real.
I will NEVER forget this day. Im not an American, I am Canadaian, but was awake for school this day when it happened. It will forever be engrained in me. RIP to the families
Nothing can be put into words how amazing all our first responders are…there are none. Even knowing the extreme danger they moved on and when everyone ran away our first responders ran towards the danger. God has a special blessing just for them. That one day everything stopped and the true New York spirit kicked in. I’ve never see so many people concerned for others. True Ground Zero Hero. Ty
Brian and Stanley's story is amazing. Two men in the most horrible circumstances saving eachother and becoming lifelong friends. With all the tragedy that took place its great to hear from the many survivors of that day.
just visited NYC and ground Zero (from belgium). when i saw it with my own eyes and when i entered the museum... you start imagening how hard it was for all those people... RIP
I’m from Belgium too. I’ve been at ground zero a little less than a year ago and I can tell you that when I stood there at the memorial grounds, seeing all the names engraved in the walls felt heartbreaking. I saw the picture of the first and second plane hitting the buildings again as if it was yesterday and it caught me off guard. I really started crying. 😢
The day we sat in our living room from the Caribbean Islands and screamed in horror at the sight before us. We will never forget the friends we lost and the worry over our loved ones who worked in that area. RIP
Huge respect to all first responders, all people who risked their lives to help others on this day, all doctors and nurses who helped people survive and tried their hardest, the people on United Airlines 93 who fought back against the hijackers and saved the lives of others, even when they knew that their lives would end. Rest in peace to all lost on this day. I hope all survivors can get through any struggles they have, that they can heal from this terrible tragedy. I also hope that all relatives and friends of anyone who died from this are doing well, and have processed their grief, living in the memory of whoever they lost.
I agree. Except shameful of America to not take care of their first responders. So many of them got respiratory illnesses from working in all that debris, and so many of them didn’t get the healthcare THEY deserved because of the capitalist healthcare system in the US. Just tragic all around.
It's heart breaking too painful and unimaginable. This event turned the world around, so much sadness so much pain so much destruction so much heartache, I was watching the 9/11 documentary" Loose Change" and the scenes really made me cry. True
That dark and impact full day just change the world for the best, dont get me wrong, I hated to this day what happend there, but this attack just wake the US up from the dream they were having of everything being too.....well perfect with no evil, now days, we are preparing for the worst every day, we are not safe, we have to survive to keep living and keep moving foward, evil is always in places we less expected, we need to be ready for it to survive.
I wish National Geographic had all the episodes of this on UA-cam. This is one of the best documentaries about it and it'd be nice if everyone could see it~
One of my teachers was in college in NY at the time and said nothing ever was the same after that. Everyone was scared for months. Big ups to the people who refused to give up and help people heal from something so traumatic.
It is the hardest thing to see the plane hit the tower because I believe, I still believe everybody has a chance to walk down the stairs and make it out…IDK how to convey it. That day left me scarred and I was born in 96’ To all the fallen
Facts I lived near an airport in the Bronx and I was 11 which is eerie because September is the 9th month and I was terrified everytime I heard a plane ✈️ about to land near my house at Laguadia 🤦🏻♂️
Mr Stanley’s story is incredible.He has made me realise how important it is to have a relationship with with God. How precious life is and how important friendship is
On the 20th anniversary, I was at my mother's ICU bedside as she was about to pass away and the double-whammy of grief was... immense. I hope all of the survivors still with us find peace from their trauma, those that have passed on find peace in the beyond, and the first responders who are suffering lasting health effects from being at ground zero get the support they've rightfully earned from our government to deal with them.
Not sure why this version cut out the Ron Difrancesco interview but hearing him discuss how he left and maneuver his way through the smoke and state “but I was alive” sent chills down my back. I can only imagine how the survivors must have been after experiencing such a horribly traumatic event. Will always recommend this doc to those who want to know more about 9/11.
I’ll never forget that morning. I was working in a hospital and a surgical tech came out and said a plane hit one of the twin towers in NY. We turned on the TV in an empty patient room. A plane hit the second building. We knew then it wasn’t an accident. It was so sadly devastating. Many, many prayers to the people and emergency personnel who lost their lives. Prayers to the surviving families who lost their loved ones. It’s just so sad
I was also working in a hospital, I was a resident and had just finished a kidney biopsy and went to the little bedroom we had at the floor for a cup of coffee and the TV was on showing the first tower in flames. I called my attendings and other residents. We saw the second building being hit live. One of the attendings immediately said it was a terrorist attack. I will never forget. We actually thought the USA was colapsing (I am from South America).
I was in the OR. There was a case going on, the radio was on in the room . Surgeon trying to finish the surgery. He finally did . No more cases that day . Hosp. Went into emergency mode. We took the jet boat to the city with a bunch of supplies. We never got to help anyone. 2 doctors went out to do recon. They came back ….no one to help anymore 😢
I am Latin American, remember watching this on the news in real time with my dad i was a teenager, the next day I watched the images of people jumping out of the building and my heart was so broken, that day I learned how bad people could be, till this day this is the event in history that makes me cry.
Two stories from me: One of my personal heroes died in the South Tower. I learned about her in 2013, when I entered high school. No, I don't remember 9/11. I just barely remember the day Columbia fell out of the sky. But those people who died did not finish their stories that day, and they continue to have an impact, even on those of us who cannot remember. Jennifer L. Dorsey-Howley spent her life, and her final moments, giving, and her husband continued her legacy. He thought he'd be giving back so much just to give her beloved high school performing arts program a piano. He and Jennifer's brother raised enough for a major renovation of the theater, which is named in her honor. Like so many others, on one of the darkest days in human history, she gave more than a few misguided individuals could ever take away. When a few displayed the worst humanity has to offer, thousands more showed us our best qualities. The second story is about a family friend and their brother. What you and I believe about miracles are our own personal business, and I do not wish to intrude. What I can say is that on 9/11, for whatever reason, that man's alarm did not go off, and he was about an hour late waking up. He was stuck in traffic on his way to the towers when the planes hit. I don't think it really matters if it was decreed by gods or a fluke of technology, because ultimately the result was that he was not in the building when the attacks happened. I prefer to keep my beliefs to myself, but I won't deny that no matter what disastrous event I'm studying, no matter the outcome, there are always amazing things either in or as a result of said event. I am indeed fascinated by disaster, but not because of destruction and death. US Airways Flight 1549 (better known as the Miracle on the Hudson) is probably my favorite emergency event, and I'm not completely sure why it's so fascinating. What fascinates me the most is the way people react. The way humans react to save each other. Our real strength lies in our capacity to care.

I was 15 when this happened. I remember not understanding what exactly was happening but that the country would never be the same. My heart goes out to all of the first responders and survivors who deal with survivors guilt. Please know that this wasn’t your fault 🙏🏾❤️
It is organized by AMERICA!!! They wanted to attack iraq and wanted an excuse. Sadam was trying to sell oil in gold currency. If oil is not traded in dollars , usa will loose all the power n vanish... That's why 9/11 happened. Thanks to those killers in the goverment. They used nuclear in the basement. Because the iron was melted and the dust clouds is a reaction from a small nuclear.
Seeing that second plane to this day still gives me chills. Its when everyone knew that it wasn't an accident. I was in 3rd grade at the time and I lived in Georgia and around 12 or 1pm that day they brought us into a class to watch what was going on. Looking back at it I think even my teachers were worried is something gonna happen to us, I thought the same thing. Sad day
💔I was a Flight Attendant for 24 years and lost many colleagues and friends on-board the aircraft on September 11th.. from both Airlines . I feel such grief ,the aircraft I loved were used as tools of destruction. I flew regularly on these . It is difficult for many crewmembers to know our aircraft were used ... even though we are innocent you still feel very aweful it was your aircraft and feel a sense of grief and take it on your shoulders so many thousands died . ❤
I love Brian and Stanley's story, of all the stories I've heard about that day, theirs just really stuck with me in a profound way. I'm glad they continue to feel comfortable enough to share it after all these years.
I’m still deeply traumatized years later after watching this event on live tv. How do you explain to a child what happened that day and how it changed the trajectory of your life forever? My parents didn’t know it then, but this event lead to me joining the military after turning 18. They never gave me their blessing but I knew it was something I had to do or I’d never make peace with what I saw. And now as a veteran I’m still torn by what I now know of the events that took place before and were the direct cause of the tragedy on 9/11/01.
how do you feel about the 100s of thousands of innocent lives that were taken in response to this? all that depleted uranium dumped into poor peoples houses in iraq and they will be having insane birth defects forever. 9/11 is an insane tragedy but i cannot unlink it from what happened after. -another veteran who vacationed in the deserts after 9/11 and now despise the government and politicians
Thank you for your service, you are a hero for being willing to protect us and our freedom. IMO, I really don’t feel that young men and women today would be willing to make the sacrifices that you made to protect us and preserve our freedom. I certainly hope and pray that I’m wrong. I personally feel that we are at the precipice of World War 3 and a nuclear terror attack. God help us all. 🇺🇸
I had just started my senior year of high school. I swore into the Delayed Entry Program for the Marine Corps a month before that day. A year and a half later, I was in Kuwait. I met and served with 3 of the police officers who responded to the towers and rejoined the Marine Corps to fight again.
I was almost 5 years old at the time and I had assumed the whole thing was an accident. In the mind of a 4 year old people wouldn’t intentionally do something like that to each other. While I was watching it on tv with my parents my dad explained to me that what happened was planned and on purpose. That’s the first time in my life I remember having the distinct realization that the world actually isn’t such a happy place.
I was just about ten years old, watching Garfield and eating breakfast before school - innocent kiddo things - when my mom rushed in to turn on the news because that was the only TV in the house. I was confused... until the second plane hit. Then I knew Something Very Bad had happened. A bunch of classmates weren't at school, and my teacher more or less completely scrapped the day's lessons in favor of a freeform day because she was too shaken. It's the first and only time I remember my mom being frightened or thinking about anything happening in the world beyond the end of the street I lived on.
@ko7577 God had other plans and as they passed on, God himself was reunited with his children who called for him. It wasn’t the belief in God that destroyed the towers. It was pure evil in success. If the belief in God was there and lived through as God had intended from the beginning, this would not have happened. May God rest their souls for all who lost their lives.
I find it insane that there were people actually debating if they should leave or not. There were also some who even decided not to leave. A plane just crashed into the tower next to you and your not worried, you don’t want to leave? I’m truly sorry for all the lives lost during this and I still can’t believe something like this happened. It’s really insane.
I get what you’re saying, because it seems completely counterintuitive to me, too. But I think because they didn’t want 10,000 evacuating with all of the debris falling down.
They didn't want thousands evacuating at the same time yet what was the alternative? Everyone should have been ordered to evacuate immediately. All the ones that survived have one thing in common: they chose to leave and not stay put.
very few knew that it was a big plane that it. some thought it was a bomb, most thought it was a small plane. a lot of people were scared, and were leaving (a lot of people were in the 78th floor)
@Chris-ot9bk I get it. But usually, with any fire, you want to evacuate as quickly as possible, not stay put and take chances. And they were actually told to go back to their offices. It makes no sense to have told people that they were safe when it couldn't have been known right then if it was or not. As someone said, it is counterintuitive. I personally believe had they been told to evacuate, many lives would have been spared.
@@lilialvarado9106 oh definitely, but that recording was an automated one that they set off if another tower was hurt in some way to avoid everybody on the street at once if not needed especially with falling debris some of which was on fire and people. Another documentary that shows what happened inside in some cases from testimonials of people that they called or etc. Apparently they didn’t know how to switch that message off so while they were on the phone to those that got through to the security office or whatever that Office was were told to leave and they were trying to figure out how to shut off the message when it was played for them by somebody who called and when they gave them, the opposite advice, put that phone up so they could hear themselves… they were trying to help people while also trying to get out of their own office. Radios we’re not working slashed turned to the wrong frequency which I’ve never understood Why. I think some had already gone up before they found out they had to change frequencies because of the spire being hit on top of WTC.
I hope Rick and his security team know that what they did that day saved over 2,000 lives, and that they will forever be remembered as some of the bravest and most heroic people that day. Rest In Peace to all the innocent people who lost their lives that day.
Rick was a decorated combat veteran. He had prepared for years to save those people, and he knew it wasn't about him. An absolute legend and hero. May he rest in peace.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. 3 weeks ago I visited the 9/11 memorial for the first time. I’ve never seen so many people crying in a museum. It’s traumatising and heartbreaking.
I went in 2019 and it was the same. There must have been hundreds of people in there, from all over the world, and it was completely silent besides the sounds of stifled crying. 22 years later i still feel stunned.
I remember being in high school and they called us all into the auditorium and we watched together as a school just in shock being so confused and not understanding yet why the teachers we were all crying. It was very emotional and just a moment that will never be forgotten. Much love to everyone please take care.
I was 9 years old when this happened… I can’t even express what I felt when I grew older and fully understood this awful tragedy in its entirety… All I could think was “God, please just heal the world… There is so much pain and brokenness.”💔
I was working in midtown Manhattan and saw WTC collapse. I'll never forget the image. It will haunt me forever. Can't imagine what people living/working at or near WTC including first responders went through. I have utmost respect for NYPD, NYFD, and other first responders who ran toward WTC while people were running away from it.
@@aaaaaa-hh8cq. Shame on you. Shame on you for turning your back on Islam. It was not Islam who did this it was some very bad unbelievers. GW Bush knows who was really responsible
I went to New York City last year in the summer and visited the 9/11 memorial and I'll tell you right now that when I saw all the names of the people who had died in both towers I was trying to hold back tears, but that was difficult because I had already known about the story of 9/11, how it affected the world and I had read so many stories from the survivors, and I've watched actual footage from the day that the attack happened on, but when I was there at the memorial for the first time ever it was such a surreal experience for me because I was standing at a place where over 2000 people lost their lives and that was really depressing to me.
I went there back in 2017. I stood at the very corner of where one of those massive towers once stood. I looked at the names and it just struck me hard. As if all the emotions of those that fallen that day rushed through me though I hid that emotion. One moment that struck me the hardest was to see someone with the same name as me. Engraved on the stone. Such memory still stays with me to this day.
Are you all too young to have remembered that day (and the dark ones that followed) clearly or even at all? I was only 23 that Tuesday and it’s still burned into my mind.
@@x77punk77x I wasn't even alive when 9/11 happened, but going to the memorial was still heartbreaking for me because it was just too depressing for me and visibly upsetting to see in person because like I said I already knew about what happened there for years.
To anyone that survived 9/11 (incl. EMS workers who risked their lives to save others), if no one has ever told you, I am so thankful that you are still here with us and that you managed to find the strength to make it one more day. You are loved, appreciated, and are very important to us!
@@bigratmonster If you got nothing nice to say, why not keep it to yourself? Theres thousands of people that lost loved ones that day. And you seemingly have a problem with someone expressing their graditude towards survivors, that are most likely still struggling every single day and will continue doing so until the end of their life.
Amen 🙏🏾
If so many people died, why did you not see even 1 family heartbroken the next few days. No Tv coverage when they "live to flash sad faces" on TV. There is one person who does know who blew up the towers. Every 9-11 how come they don't have families there? Or on TV? Don't believe everything media say's. They STILL are making fake news.
Even Seth MacFarlane?? 😂
Sorry for the victimes and their family but please tell me how many hundreds of thousands the US Army have killed after this incident?
They claimed that Afghanistan was behind it, they invade it and killed dozens of thousands of innocent people who wanted to live peacefully exactly as the ones in this documentary.
But you know what? You believe that you’re human beings but other are not that’s the sad story.
The story of Stanley and Brian has always been my favorite 9/11 story. It tells me that true friends can be found in the darkest times and in times of crisis. To this day, Stanley and Brian remain close friends and they share their story often.
Mine, too! They trauma-bonded instantly. Boy theirs is a miraculous survival story, so rare for people trapped inside that day.
Me too!

I was 19 years old. Doing my national service at Singapore air force. We had many US servicemen who are stationed at our airbase. I was working at the air traffic and we got the news at 10pm Singapore time. We went over to meet the Americans in our base who were grieving over the news. One of them, Eddie, a young serviceman, his father eventually died as he was working at the South Tower. When i eventually went to New York, i paid my respects to the deceased.

When Stanley speaks, you can occasionally see his eyes drift off or close. You know that he is seeing all those events again as if he was right back in the tower.
He probably is no one is ever going to forget that tragic day so many lives where lost I those towers,in the planes and on the ground

"Why are you recording at a time like this?" This is why, we need to see this. We need to remember it happened. The people who think "we need to have this, we need to see this" are the people who preserve history. No matter what their reason is, they preserve history.
So true!
I agree, but it depends. The people that were recording this had no way of helping the situation at all. They were completely helpless. So I don't mind that they recorded. What drives me crazy is the people that watch someome getting mugged or beat or are in a car wreck and they just stand there and record. Those are the worst people.

Things like this have happened. Situations where most people die, some survive. This happened with someone my parents and I know. This woman was a manager at the bank in the town where my parents and I lived, this group of high school students robbed it, and they shot her in the head and she survived. So yes, things like this do happen.
The lady who was alive but basically dead was so heartbreaking
I had never heard his story until now and it broke me
I seriously doubt she was a jumper. She probably got hit by a big chunk or large part of the plane or something else heavy. No jumper would be conscious.

Because the iron was melted and the dust clouds is a reaction from a small nuclear.
Despite the immense tragedy, the compassion and willingness of these people to help anyone they came across who needed it is inspiring. Huge respect to the people of NYC that day, from the unbelievably brave firefighters and police to the heroic deeds of the ordinary citizens.

I'm from Argentina and I was 5 when this happened, so it's almost like I wasn't born yet, I was too little to comprehend, so basically the only things I knew about the attack where years later. I remember when I was like 13, it got my curiosity and searched videos about it here on youtube, and I was shocked, I even cried after looking at them, I realized how crazy the situation was, even more than I previously thought.
Yeah never will forget that day. You remember exactly what you were doing at the time you heard what happened.
But those of us who were old enough to remember, it’s engraved in our minds. What we were wearing, what we were doing or going to do. 😢

Couldn't agree more!
That was their order though. Everybody evacuating out the north tower plus the south tower would have been equivalent to a riot. Plus, they still thought it was a tragic accident, not an attack.
I see it the other way. I can’t imagine being the guard who was ordered to tell those people to go up only for another plane to hit

Getting hit by the landing gear of a plane and surviving is one of the most insane things I’ve ever heard or seen. What a story

@@McFlurry448 bold to suggest people aren’t telling the truth in a 9/11 doc
@@McFlurry448That’s what happened. Way to say they lied. Jfc.
I’m still a bit horrified by this, mainly because you can’t even begin to understand how she even got down or did her body fall from up that high I can’t even begin to piece it in my head visually. Not like the doc with lady and half her torso crushed and presumed dead story.
This is hands down my favorite documentary on 9/11. I had to purchase this on Amazon last year. I loved that they take you through the entire day by the survivors and people who were unfortunate to see that day live. No narrator. Hearing their stories made me cry. Made me feel as if I was there that day. I watch these often as my small way of paying a tribute to the victims and their families. I was 6 when this happened, but it was my first core memory as a child and has stuck with me since. God bless the victims and their loved ones left behind to deal with the aftermath 🌹
Edit: I want to add that this day had a tremendous impact on me as a child. It’s the reason why I became an air traffic controller and why I’m currently getting my masters in Aviation Safety. God bless their souls
Well said, brittanybrooks 5337. I was touched myself and had tears in my eyes.
That’s crazy. A group of us were talking about first/core memories the other day. Wild how things like that effect us. I had just turned 19.

I remember all those sheets of paper flying in the wind. Thousands and thousands of papers that held information considered important. At one point, someone was impatiently waiting for those papers, and someone else worked late because of a deadline involving those papers. And now they were entirely insignificant.

U worked there?
All the people who lost their lives because they were told to go back up to their offices. Breaks my heart
Goes to show that using independent thought and not following the masses is sometimes the best way to go.
I actually had to pause for a second and take a short walk around my room because I was so livid at that. The ones saying "We don't have all day" had no idea how right they were.
Makes me mad but I can understand why they did that. We're all prisoners of our own experiences, the lessons we think we've learned. People were trampled while leaving after the 1993 bombing. Clearly it was a bad mistake to tell them to stay/return.
Seeing Debbie joyfully play with her plushie, just happy to be alive, made my heart swell. Even amongst all the horror and tragedy, there was also so much human persistence and perseverance. This documentary is a real rollercoaster of emotion.

I was 21. Recovering from 90s civil war in Croatia. That day in NY - it felt like war never ended. It just goes around the world spreading evil and sadness. Today, after coronavirus, new wars, earthquakes in Zagreb/ Petrinja 2020., it's so hard to watch this knowing that nothing really changed.
My mom was apart of that war, what was it like?
That’s what life has always been survival of the fittest, fighting to live and pass on stronger genes. Humans have always been violent and territorial.
Very True.

I was 11, and I will never forget that day behind the TV in France after school. Now I'm 34, and I'm still crying watching this.
My wife and I were honeymooning in New York from New Zealand. Our first night was September 10th. My wife, an economics major, had been offered a tour of the World Trade Center the next day. It sounded boring, so I persuaded her not to do it as this was our once in a life time New York trip and I wanted us to do something more interesting.

this is incredibly made. i’m sobbing, thank you for letting these survivors share their stories and letting them tell the day in their view. i’m so glad i didn’t see this in school though, because i am seriously sobbing. i’m so glad we can remember and help these people heal from this devastating attack. i’m speechless
I was 17, a senior in high school in Philly. My dad traveled and worked for WTC I and was laid off one year prior. I felt so good my dad life was spared and felt horrible that this had to happen to many others.
Just wanna tell you personally. Do me a favor and hug your loved ones your dad was spared
Ironic; layed off at the WTC yet the American dream is to be laid off. Laid off today; live another day.

Being a logical thinker instead of an emotional thinker does not make you cold hearted… it makes you a survivor bc you can think situations through during times when others are freaking out

@@missdebrami6862 same. But when it is safe to panic it is almost pointless so everything just gets shoved in a box. 😕

I was 8 when this happened. Like many my age it was confusing watching my teacher be in shock then trying to wrap my mind around what my parents told me. I watched many documentaries in school and while they made me realize the depth of the situation. It wasn’t until I visited NYC last year and visited the memorial site that I truly got it. Those names on the reflection pools and looking at how big they are caused me to look up at the sky. It was a beautiful day, just like the morning of 9/11. I just pictured the jumpers, the height of those buildings, the people rushing to get out and then the sound of the planes hitting made me extremely emotional. I just hope those who lost their lives went fast and painless. 🥺❤️
I was around 8 too and just recently moved to the US. I didn’t speak much English so I was confused and didn’t know what was going on.
A salute to the emergency responders who didn't just risk, but gambled their lives to pull others back from the brink. These are the unsung heroes who embody the epitome of selflessness, sacrificing their own safety in the relentless pursuit of saving lives. We honor those who paid the ultimate price-may they rest in eternal peace.

They saved each other ❤ I still can’t believe this all really happened and I watched so much of this as it was happening. My heart goes out to everyone who was effected by that day god bless ❤
I was a junior too. Hope your trauma has healed over time - mine still sits with me
I was a freshman. I had just started school the week before. It's terrifying for a 14 year old girl to see that our country is being attacked and that we were going to war. And fearing when the next attack would be or if there would be an attempted invasion. I remember going to school the next day and a few seniors randomly coming into our class and telling our teacher - did you see what happened Miss? When I graduate later this year im gonna sign up to join the war. This was echoed by his friends and a few boys in my class.
Of course a decent amount of them joined and a few were sent over seas and then came back not the same again.
Here we are, 22 years later. Still one of if not THE most traumatizing event in American history. May we never forget those who lost their lives on that day.
Never forget Building 7 that wasn’t hit by any plane and fell at free fall speed on the same day. That building was wired for demolition, and if that building was wired for demolition, so were the other 2. And what a coincidence that all three were Owned by the same Jew, Silverstein.

@@patmelton43 You still believe the twin towers, pentagon and building 7 were brought down by 5 guys with boxcutters?
@@cathypierce3170 Their culture rejoiced that day. They cheered and laughed. I think on some level that it would be kind of us to recognize that they were all caught up in similar things that we have and feel here. Those people weren't evil. They weren't born evil. They were brought up in a culture and a system that bred violence as an answer to their problems. Not so different from us. If they were monsters, then we are monsters.
I love that even 23 years after 9/11 people are still remembering and watching this video. Everyone that died, will be remembered. We Love You All!!

It was a horrible moment in time but it really brought out the best in all of us. I’ll never forget how people were together during that time.

Huge respect to all first responders, all people who risked their lives to help others on this day, all doctors and nurses who helped people survive and tried their hardest, the people on United Airlines 93 who fought back against the hijackers and saved the lives of others, even when they knew that their lives would end. Rest in peace to all lost on this day. I hope all survivors can get through any struggles they have, that they can heal from this terrible tragedy. I also hope that all relatives and friends of anyone who died from this are doing well, and have processed their grief, living in the memory of whoever they lost.

I agree. Except shameful of America to not take care of their first responders. So many of them got respiratory illnesses from working in all that debris, and so many of them didn’t get the healthcare THEY deserved because of the capitalist healthcare system in the US. Just tragic all around.

It’s true we were terrified for months nothing was the same after that
Facts I lived near an airport in the Bronx and I was 11 which is eerie because September is the 9th month and I was terrified everytime I heard a plane ✈️ about to land near my house at Laguadia 🤦🏻♂️
Mr Stanley’s story is incredible.He has made me realise how important it is to have a relationship with with God. How precious life is and how important friendship is
On the 20th anniversary, I was at my mother's ICU bedside as she was about to pass away and the double-whammy of grief was... immense. I hope all of the survivors still with us find peace from their trauma, those that have passed on find peace in the beyond, and the first responders who are suffering lasting health effects from being at ground zero get the support they've rightfully earned from our government to deal with them.
Not sure why this version cut out the Ron Difrancesco interview but hearing him discuss how he left and maneuver his way through the smoke and state “but I was alive” sent chills down my back. I can only imagine how the survivors must have been after experiencing such a horribly traumatic event. Will always recommend this doc to those who want to know more about 9/11.
I thought that was in one of the next episodes?
I’ll never forget that morning. I was working in a hospital and a surgical tech came out and said a plane hit one of the twin towers in NY. We turned on the TV in an empty patient room. A plane hit the second building. We knew then it wasn’t an accident. It was so sadly devastating. Many, many prayers to the people and emergency personnel who lost their lives. Prayers to the surviving families who lost their loved ones. It’s just so sad
I was also working in a hospital, I was a resident and had just finished a kidney biopsy and went to the little bedroom we had at the floor for a cup of coffee and the TV was on showing the first tower in flames. I called my attendings and other residents. We saw the second building being hit live. One of the attendings immediately said it was a terrorist attack. I will never forget. We actually thought the USA was colapsing (I am from South America).
I was in the OR. There was a case going on, the radio was on in the room . Surgeon trying to finish the surgery. He finally did . No more cases that day . Hosp. Went into emergency mode. We took the jet boat to the city with a bunch of supplies. We never got to help anyone. 2 doctors went out to do recon. They came back ….no one to help anymore 😢
I am Latin American, remember watching this on the news in real time with my dad i was a teenager, the next day I watched the images of people jumping out of the building and my heart was so broken, that day I learned how bad people could be, till this day this is the event in history that makes me cry.
Two stories from me:
One of my personal heroes died in the South Tower. I learned about her in 2013, when I entered high school. No, I don't remember 9/11. I just barely remember the day Columbia fell out of the sky. But those people who died did not finish their stories that day, and they continue to have an impact, even on those of us who cannot remember. Jennifer L. Dorsey-Howley spent her life, and her final moments, giving, and her husband continued her legacy. He thought he'd be giving back so much just to give her beloved high school performing arts program a piano. He and Jennifer's brother raised enough for a major renovation of the theater, which is named in her honor. Like so many others, on one of the darkest days in human history, she gave more than a few misguided individuals could ever take away. When a few displayed the worst humanity has to offer, thousands more showed us our best qualities.
The second story is about a family friend and their brother. What you and I believe about miracles are our own personal business, and I do not wish to intrude. What I can say is that on 9/11, for whatever reason, that man's alarm did not go off, and he was about an hour late waking up. He was stuck in traffic on his way to the towers when the planes hit. I don't think it really matters if it was decreed by gods or a fluke of technology, because ultimately the result was that he was not in the building when the attacks happened. I prefer to keep my beliefs to myself, but I won't deny that no matter what disastrous event I'm studying, no matter the outcome, there are always amazing things either in or as a result of said event.
I am indeed fascinated by disaster, but not because of destruction and death. US Airways Flight 1549 (better known as the Miracle on the Hudson) is probably my favorite emergency event, and I'm not completely sure why it's so fascinating. What fascinates me the most is the way people react. The way humans react to save each other. Our real strength lies in our capacity to care.
In 1997 I got detailed, accurate, explicit intelligence about the attacks of September 11, 2001. For four years at least 100 people got this information from me, free, no strings attached, right up to and through the night of September 10, 2001. This means law enforcement were given the details in time ( 1997, 1998, early 2001 ) to act and prevent. For more detailed facts, search in you tube----John Shaw Attacks of September 11, 2001.

It is organized by AMERICA!!! They wanted to attack iraq and wanted an excuse. Sadam was trying to sell oil in gold currency. If oil is not traded in dollars , usa will loose all the power n vanish... That's why 9/11 happened. Thanks to those killers in the goverment. They used nuclear in the basement. Because the iron was melted and the dust clouds is a reaction from a small nuclear.
I too was 15. I have just visited the memorial this week. So upsetting.
I was 12 and knew exactly the impact of what was happening. I recorded it to vhs. That tape is somewhere,not with me
Seeing that second plane to this day still gives me chills. Its when everyone knew that it wasn't an accident. I was in 3rd grade at the time and I lived in Georgia and around 12 or 1pm that day they brought us into a class to watch what was going on. Looking back at it I think even my teachers were worried is something gonna happen to us, I thought the same thing. Sad day
I saw it and We thought it was a missile.
Yeahh the 2nd plane obviously just suicide
💔I was a Flight Attendant for 24 years and lost many colleagues and friends on-board the aircraft on September 11th.. from both Airlines .

I’m still deeply traumatized years later after watching this event on live tv. How do you explain to a child what happened that day and how it changed the trajectory of your life forever? My parents didn’t know it then, but this event lead to me joining the military after turning 18. They never gave me their blessing but I knew it was something I had to do or I’d never make peace with what I saw. And now as a veteran I’m still torn by what I now know of the events that took place before and were the direct cause of the tragedy on 9/11/01.

how do you feel about the 100s of thousands of innocent lives that were taken in response to this? all that depleted uranium dumped into poor peoples houses in iraq and they will be having insane birth defects forever. 9/11 is an insane tragedy but i cannot unlink it from what happened after.

I had just started my senior year of high school. I swore into the Delayed Entry Program for the Marine Corps a month before that day. A year and a half later, I was in Kuwait. I met and served with 3 of the police officers who responded to the towers and rejoined the Marine Corps to fight again.
That’s… Honestly insane but my respects to you and those officers❤
Thank you.
I was almost 5 years old at the time and I had assumed the whole thing was an accident. In the mind of a 4 year old people wouldn’t intentionally do something like that to each other. While I was watching it on tv with my parents my dad explained to me that what happened was planned and on purpose. That’s the first time in my life I remember having the distinct realization that the world actually isn’t such a happy place.
That’s quite deep.
I was just about ten years old, watching Garfield and eating breakfast before school - innocent kiddo things - when my mom rushed in to turn on the news because that was the only TV in the house. I was confused... until the second plane hit. Then I knew Something Very Bad had happened. A bunch of classmates weren't at school, and my teacher more or less completely scrapped the day's lessons in favor of a freeform day because she was too shaken. It's the first and only time I remember my mom being frightened or thinking about anything happening in the world beyond the end of the street I lived on.

@ko7577 God had other plans and as they passed on, God himself was reunited with his children who called for him. It wasn’t the belief in God that destroyed the towers. It was pure evil in success. If the belief in God was there and lived through as God had intended from the beginning, this would not have happened. May God rest their souls for all who lost their lives.
I find it insane that there were people actually debating if they should leave or not. There were also some who even decided not to leave. A plane just crashed into the tower next to you and your not worried, you don’t want to leave? I’m truly sorry for all the lives lost during this and I still can’t believe something like this happened. It’s really insane.
I get what you’re saying, because it seems completely counterintuitive to me, too. But I think because they didn’t want 10,000 evacuating with all of the debris falling down.
They didn't want thousands evacuating at the same time yet what was the alternative? Everyone should have been ordered to evacuate immediately. All the ones that survived have one thing in common: they chose to leave and not stay put.
very few knew that it was a big plane that it. some thought it was a bomb, most thought it was a small plane. a lot of people were scared, and were leaving (a lot of people were in the 78th floor)
@Chris-ot9bk I get it. But usually, with any fire, you want to evacuate as quickly as possible, not stay put and take chances. And they were actually told to go back to their offices. It makes no sense to have told people that they were safe when it couldn't have been known right then if it was or not. As someone said, it is counterintuitive. I personally believe had they been told to evacuate, many lives would have been spared.
@@lilialvarado9106 oh definitely, but that recording was an automated one that they set off if another tower was hurt in some way to avoid everybody on the street at once if not needed especially with falling debris some of which was on fire and people.
Another documentary that shows what happened inside in some cases from testimonials of people that they called or etc. Apparently they didn’t know how to switch that message off so while they were on the phone to those that got through to the security office or whatever that Office was were told to leave and they were trying to figure out how to shut off the message when it was played for them by somebody who called and when they gave them, the opposite advice, put that phone up so they could hear themselves… they were trying to help people while also trying to get out of their own office. Radios we’re not working slashed turned to the wrong frequency which I’ve never understood Why. I think some had already gone up before they found out they had to change frequencies because of the spire being hit on top of WTC.
That story of Debbie and seeing her back is what hit me and cried to being able to see her back with positivity is so heartwarming
I hope Rick and his security team know that what they did that day saved over 2,000 lives, and that they will forever be remembered as some of the bravest and most heroic people that day. Rest In Peace to all the innocent people who lost their lives that day.

Rick was a decorated combat veteran. He had prepared for years to save those people, and he knew it wasn't about him. An absolute legend and hero. May he rest in peace.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. 3 weeks ago I visited the 9/11 memorial for the first time. I’ve never seen so many people crying in a museum. It’s traumatising and heartbreaking.
I went in 2019 and it was the same. There must have been hundreds of people in there, from all over the world, and it was completely silent besides the sounds of stifled crying. 22 years later i still feel stunned.
I remember being in high school and they called us all into the auditorium and we watched together as a school just in shock being so confused and not understanding yet why the teachers we were all crying. It was very emotional and just a moment that will never be forgotten. Much love to everyone please take care.
I was 9 years old when this happened… I can’t even express what I felt when I grew older and fully understood this awful tragedy in its entirety… All I could think was “God, please just heal the world… There is so much pain and brokenness.”💔
help why did i just start crying after u said “brokenness” 😭
I was working in midtown Manhattan and saw WTC collapse. I'll never forget the image. It will haunt me forever.
Can't imagine what people living/working at or near WTC including first responders went through.
I have utmost respect for NYPD, NYFD, and other first responders who ran toward WTC while people were running away from it.
as an ex Muslim
I'm glad I don't have to blow up towers to go to heaven anymore
Inshallah
@@aaaaaa-hh8cq. Shame on you. Shame on you for turning your back on Islam. It was not Islam who did this it was some very bad unbelievers. GW Bush knows who was really responsible
@@aaaaaa-hh8cqhow did you get out if islam
What part of midtown?
I went to New York City last year in the summer and visited the 9/11 memorial and I'll tell you right now that when I saw all the names of the people who had died in both towers I was trying to hold back tears, but that was difficult because I had already known about the story of 9/11, how it affected the world and I had read so many stories from the survivors, and I've watched actual footage from the day that the attack happened on, but when I was there at the memorial for the first time ever it was such a surreal experience for me because I was standing at a place where over 2000 people lost their lives and that was really depressing to me.
same the blue wall was truly inspiring
Yes it was too much , I thought it was depressing and I couldn’t face it ,
I went there back in 2017. I stood at the very corner of where one of those massive towers once stood. I looked at the names and it just struck me hard. As if all the emotions of those that fallen that day rushed through me though I hid that emotion. One moment that struck me the hardest was to see someone with the same name as me. Engraved on the stone. Such memory still stays with me to this day.
Are you all too young to have remembered that day (and the dark ones that followed) clearly or even at all? I was only 23 that Tuesday and it’s still burned into my mind.
@@x77punk77x I wasn't even alive when 9/11 happened, but going to the memorial was still heartbreaking for me because it was just too depressing for me and visibly upsetting to see in person because like I said I already knew about what happened there for years.
Stan is so interesting to listen to. He paints such a vivid picture of what it was like with his words.
Can't stop watching this over and over again. Cry my eyes out every time.
