      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.

    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.

"Why are you recording at a time like this?" This is why, we need to see this. We need to remember it happened.

    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

    Just the thought of being on the phone on the second tower being told to 'Get out'
    and then suddenly you see a small silhouette of another plane tilting right towards you,
    feels like a scene straight out of a movie.
    I can't imagine anything more terrifying than being quite literally face to face with the risk of death.
    And our bodies react differently, some would just run for cover, run for an exit or just stand in fear and shock.
    We can't control what shock and adrenaline will do.
    I can't believe that some people inside the towers even survived.
    My thought of the total death toll that day was doubled than what was originally revealed.
    All those lives lost that day, no matter what they did, were still great people.
    Someone lost a friend, a brother and sister, a mother a father, a partner, a child.
    And not only should we remember those who were lost too soon, we must never forget those who willingly sacrificed themselves to save others. There were so many heroes that day, and they never wore capes, they were just people.
    Just normal people doing what was right.

    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. 🥺❤️

      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.

      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 still, to this day, remember waking up on a warm September morning. I couldn’t hear my family, so I went into the living room and saw my mom sitting, holding her hand over her mouth and my dad with his arm around her. I perched on the arm of the sofa and saw the news footage. I saw the building was on fire and reading the news “ticks” I think they’re called. I sat in disbelief. Then the second plane hit the second tower and my mouth flew open and stayed open. It was like someone just kicked the air out of me. I had tears in my eyes and had to remind myself to breathe. Such a tragic day. It’s like the world paused or at least went into very slow motion. 22 years later and it’s clear as day.

    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.

    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.

    I’m 24. I have no memory of these events (obviously). This was one of my first real looks into this tragedy as an adult. I sobbed in silence while watching the vast majority of this video. I can’t even begin to imagine what it was like for on this day for our country.

    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
