- StoryCorps has won a 71st Annual George Foster Peabody Award for our September 11 audio and animated shorts.
John Vigiano Sr. is a retired New York City firefighter whose two sons followed him into service-John Jr. was a firefighter, too, and Joe was a police detective. On September 11, 2001, both Vigiano brothers responded to the call from the World Trade Center, and both were killed while saving others. Here, John Sr. remembers his sons and reflects on coping with his tremendous loss.

It's bad enough to lose one of your children, but two of them on the same day. I feel really sorry for this man.
yah its very sad
At least they all got their goodbyes
That's all we can really ask for
Ivan Corredera a
All of these 9/11 stories make me tear up 😢
Joshua Shiu this is my first video to make me cry
He died of cancer at July 2018, so much despair he must endure, now we must let him rest and heal the wounds of time
True man, true.
And see his children again
Damn sorry for their loss
At least he is in heaven with his sons
Deeeeeeep
John Vigiano sadly passed away in 2018. May he rest with his children.
Rest in peace to three of them🙏
Amen❤😊
RIP John and Joe and you have a great father :')
That's so nice to say
Cs go giveaway Guy wtf dude.

Thicc tachanka pepperoni pizza I think he is a twelve year old trying to be cool
"That makes me sleep at night" By far the most defeating quote there is in this interview. I felt stabbed in the heart when he said that
this video made my eyes water and cause my mom to become concerned why I was crying when I was doing my "homework."

because homework is so evil it will bring you to tears crying in mercy.

Every year, on the date as close to 9/11 as possible, I show my student two piece of storycorps, this and the one from Beverly Eckert. Every year it makes my students cry and causes the most wonderful and open conversation. It is the perfect way to remember and connect 17 and 18 year olds with events that happened when they were toddlers. Thank you to Joe Sr. and storycorps!
That's incredible
William Quigley
I remember some fucking kid a idiot ok during 9/11 he decided to make a joke about the people jumping of buildings the planes hitting the buildings the collapse of the building and then continued to disrespect this major event in history
@@thegeneralfrogarmy9721 its okay, just ignore them, most of the time they realise how ignorant and disrespectful they are, when i was in 4th grade, my friends would joke about suicide bombers and shout ALLAH AKBAR as a joke in class, its been years since then and now they seem to regret saying jokes like these everygime i mention it
what kinda heartless person dislikes a video like that?
probably ISIS
+jolorulz even though Isis didn't do 9/11
kinda think ISIS is for the attack, just saying
Patrick Peixoto the Muslim who else
Well, some people dislike it because it made them sad. I know a few people who do that.
I heard a quote, “It’s sad when a son has to bury his father, but devastating when a father has to bury his son.” To have to bury both of your sons is horrible. Rest In Peace to everyone who lost their life that day.
aww RIP joe and john

UA-cam is slowly becoming a time machine, I remember watching these shorts when I was a kid….. ten years already passed….
I can't imagine losing one child but damn two on the same day is just terrible.
RIP to those heroes and all who died on 9/11.
One recording per life lost at 9/11?
...
I wanna see this happen. I want to learn how many people, no matter how important or unimportant, died that day.
Might make a more in-depth memorial.
JoshJenrayAK47 that would very hard to do since from what I know nobody knows the exact amount of people that died.
JoshJenrayAK47 actually, an individual story makes people connect more.
At this rate we'll all have been long dead by the time they get half way through
You can search for "Portraits of Grief" from New York Times on Google. They have published memoirs about most of the people.
5th reply!
This is movie material
100% Agree! This NEEDS to be a movie.
There is and it won an award in 2002. ( its a documentary )
But then Hollywood would be like
9/11 happens
2 of them are crushed
They survived
It’s not a movie but “Twin Towers” (2003) is a pretty good documentary with them before 9/11.
You’re not wrong.
Sadly Captain John Vigiano Sr. Lost his battle to cancer on July 2018, May he be with his sons in heaven
Having the last words be "I love you" to anyone is...Amazing...It is so lucky to have that...
It's been 15 years since September 11, 20001. May John and Joe rest in peace. Thank you both for your service.
"I don't have any could've, should've, would'ves,. I wouldn't have changed anything. There's not many people that the last words they've said to their son or daughter was 'I love you' and the last words they hear was I love you. So... that makes me sleep at night"
What the fuck
He's happy that "I love you" were the last words they said to each other before he lost them.
No, I get it, that just really fucked me up.
Phil Breton I never got to say it so that line hit me like a truck.
hey shmeatgod i'm sorry if you lost someone
Jayman493 we should really learn to cherish what we have
Holy shit. I did not expect to tear up like that at the end when he talked about his last words with his sons. Beautiful, and I am so sorry for his loss and so grateful for the bravery and sacrifice of his boys. He clearly did a great job raising them and they were clearly men he could be proud of.
... This story really got to me... When he said that not many people who's last words they said to their children were I love you... I lost it... started crying immediately... RIP everyone who passed
I typically re-watch this once a year around the 9/11 anniversary, and it turns me into a puddle each time. Thank you StoryCorps for allowing John Vigiano Sr to share his story with us.
Feels weird coming back to this, even 20 years after the attack.
Well I wasn't planning on tearing up tonight, dammit.
I cannot imagine the pain that he had to go through to lose both of his sons.
When he said “Ironically badge number 3436 I started balling.”
Nice pfp king
Dying for your country and your fellow human beings in my heart is one of the greatest honors imaginable
We'll all die one day, and this man had to face a very tough instance of that.
He's very brave.
I feel bad for him.
respect to these national heros, may they never be forgoten
This video will never leave my head, it’s tragic that this event had happened
That is true, not many people get to say "I love you" to their loved one's before they are taken to a better place. And these two men are among the many good men and women who were so suddenly taken from us.
Huh, kinda ironic to me seeing Joe was born the same day I was. Not the same year, of course mind you.
I absolutely love this channel. Seriously I cry on so many of these, this is honoring the unsung true heroes of society.
Your Kids are Heroes.
And the last words "I love you" are beautiful last words.
You see them in heaven
John is in hospice care as we speak, god bless him & his family during this tough time.
Rest In Peace John Vigiano Sr. (1938-2018)
"that makes me sleep at night" makes me cry everytime
"That makes me sleep at night."
There is so much pain in the subtext of that statement. That really got to me.
This is exactly why I always tell my Mother and Father that I love them whenever I talk to them on the phone or before I leave their house after I visit with them.
I have watched this multiple times and just like now I huge tears are rolling down my face.
Thank you storycorps for letting us listen to these people lives.
Here we are again, on 9/11. Rest easy brothers.
I watch this every year around this time, each time is a cathartic experience to be sure
RIP Captain John T. Vigiano, Sr. - November 23, 1938 - July 7, 2018
This is story I like to hear because it includes two real hero’s who gave their lives.
I remember him, he went to my school and told us all about firefighter man stuff... I'm now 14. And I now know where they are. Thanks for the great time. Thanks for playing with me when no one else did. ❤️
Even drunk i can't take this....
The coincidence of the numbers hit me like brick. This is so sad. No one will forget this day 😭😭
Watching this on September 11th
I feel bad for this guy he lost both of his kids
His grandson recently joined the NYPD.
22 years now since these brave men gave there lives saving people from the attacks on the world trade center.
This one will never fail to make me break down crying! Thank you for your sons' sacrifice, and thank you for your Sacrifice , Mr. Vigiano.
"There's not many peoples whos last words to their son or daughter was 'I love you'. And the last words they heard was, 'I love you'. So that makes me sleep at night." Is a quote that'll stick with me forever.
I was thinking about this recently and how relatable it may be soon. I'm active duty Navy with a deployment coming up this year and recently went back home to celebrate New Years 2022 with my family. It's not so much for me, but for my Grandmas: My mom's 81yo mom is in the early stages of dementia, and my dad's 91yo mom has been having some other mental and physical health issues. So I made sure to visit home to give them both a hug and to say "I love you" in case neither is there when I hopefully can visit again next Cristmas.
rest in peace joe and john, you did the world good
You are a father of two brave men sir. I know you are proud of them... and you should always stay that way... but I bet they want you to stay happy also... as after this life... in the life hereafter... you will be standing tall in heaven with your head held high... as a father of two brave men.
If you cried watching this don't feel ashamed it only shows you are human and you have emotions and to have emotion is a blessing in it's self
Everyone who disliked this video is HEARTLESS. What will you do if you lost both of your children? Why do people need to be heartless
Got reminded of this video
3:10 really got me😥
Just found this channel. Yesterday was the 19th anniversary of 9/11. These stories hit right in the feels. I can't stop watching them. God rest their souls...
I haven't cried for probably 10 years. Its good for you to cry every once in a while to remember that you're human.
Every year I come back to this video it still hurts Every time
I remember going to NYC like 3 years ago and I remember walking into this shop and it was sort of like a memorial store for the people In 9/11. I was looking around and I look up and I see this very video playing. I watched and my 9 year old self started crying. It was heat breaking I will always remember that moment thank for this amazing video.
Voice of this video, John Vigiano Sr., passed away 2 month ago. Rest in peace sir, I wish you meet your sons and have a happy time in heaven.
Ironic how 343 firefighters died and his badge number was 3436. Rest in peace.
Also ironic how one was 34 and one was 36 when they died
I miss you grandma
Nice to see a animated storytelling channel that actually makes soul touching story’s that are from real people and real life events.
Rest In Peace, John Vigiano Jr. and Joe Vigiano.
Whoever dislikes is heartless and has no soul
Im a liberal and this video touched me just like the others..
@Demiclea Has your right wing implanted hatred maybe you an idiot? Why would a liberal be angry at Democrats propaganda? And how can it be both Democrat propaganda and anti-Muslim at the same time? This painting entire sets of people with the same brush is what's wrong with this county, be ashamed that you've added to it.
It could be isis disliking it
@Demiclea nice job making this political, you are the dumbest type of idiot
Demiclea true
387 dislikes are you kidding me? This is heartbreaking how could anyone dislike it :(
Niko Silvis They had tears in their eyes so they couldn't see the like.
Niko Silvis its is heartbreaking, but the people who disliked don't have a heart.
The muslims
The ones who disliked it are terrorists who hate america
Niko Silvis UA-cam algorithms and bot activity to blame for it.
That man must be so proud to have raised two heroes.
I watch this every year as a reminder of the sacrifices made that day
It hurts knowing the badge number is so close to the amount of FDNY who died during the attacks.
Thanks
3436 dude that's insane
I watch this once a year. Gotta remember them
“This is the big one”. I got goosebumps. Can’t imagine what it was like.
Note: John Vigiano Sr. Dies at 79 after battling throat cancer
I'm at least glad he's now reunited with his 2 boys. I'm sure all of us here want that too someday, to be reunited with our lost loved ones
when he said: theres not many people who last words to their son or daughter was, i love you.
it made me go:
goddamnit noooooooooooooooooooo
Who's chopping onions here?
Is it the onion chopping ninjas?
Damn those onion chopping ninjas
maddy miller I know right they come back specifically one day a year and sometimes even more
He raised two heroes, may feel comfort knowing as well.
I am crying as I am watching this. These stories are truly moving and gives me hope.
Today it was the anniversary of 9/11 and i cried the whole day
I stood at the grave of a friend (17) and didnt cry,
I stood at the grave of my grandparents and didnt cry,
this mad me cry.
Thank you for your sons, they were warriors and heroes and they now rest in Valhalla.
This is deeper than deep. God Bless. I’ll never forget that day. One of the scariest moments of my life. New York will never be the same
People can feel legitimately sad or touched by the message.. without "going to pieces."
Man I fell so bad fore this mans kids losing thim on 9/11 so sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

WHY? GOD, WHY?
My you and your family always feel God's love. Your boys are smiling down on you sir, may God bless you and keep you.
This is why I love storycorp comments, every one is united in honoring the people mentioned. This is the reason I still honor those who died on 9/11 for all the people who died trying to do their job trying to save everyone they could

The worst part about 9/11 stories is that they all happened at the same time. Take a moment to think about it😬

Those 3 little words are the hardest to say. Thank You
Lost my mom to cancer awhile back.
The quote "I never had any 'should've, could've, would haves. I wouldn't have changed anything. There's not a lot of people in the world, that the last words they said to their son or daughter was I love you, and the last words they heard was I love you, and that helps me sleep at night.'
That right there has helped me pull through more than anything else.
watching this with all the rioting and shenanigans , I'm at a loss for words why people hate on the police for the sake of it
Because sometimes police kill people. It’s really not that hard to understand.
@@Amyphere police kill people, yes they do doctors kill people too, they botch a surgery mess up paperwork and give patients the wrong meds.
@@castlefaber3336 some police kill people for the color of their skin, they get threatened because of their color.

Then google it yourself
"he wanted to be the next donald trump"
damn, he could have been president if not for 9/11
*Not sure is satire or not, so i'm just going to explain.*
When he said "He wanted to be the next Donald Trump, he meant it in a way that Trump is a multi millionaire, not in the context that he wanted to be president.
Pvt.Speiler No shit it was a joke
Donald trump was an very rich man then that's why
@@dumdummcstupid2414 True, but in the 1980's trump did get on Oprah and tease about a possible run.
John knew he couldn't get a small loan of a million dollars like Trump
Warehouse Studios congratulations you're a dumbass
You Awake? I see you know how economics work
but its true tho Trump started his first buisness with the help of his father with a loan of a million dollars
Ava Lin Trump has no idea what it is like to struggle to pay bills. He doesn’t even know anyone that has struggled to pay the bills! How in the world is he ever going to help us! Soon there will be no middle class left. It’ll be the rich vs the poor! That is where America is heading
911 was such a sad point in history,so many young lives taken too soon💔
Two heroes, god bless them and anyone like them
