I will never get over Flight 93 and the sheer bravery and patriotism of the passengers. It was really just a small group that coordinated the whole thing. All it took was a few people learning about the planes hitting the Towers, and they just knew what they had to do.
Something that’s often overlooked is that the flight was delayed by an hour, had it not been for the delay, the hijacking would have occurred much earlier before the news of the other attacks went through.
And the plane likely would have reached its target.
I love that story! Such heroic people. May they always be remembered and honored.
And the odd, coldly delivered cellular goodbye phonecalls from the passengers to their loved ones before they "breached the cockpit with a stewards trolley, LETS ROLL!" ?
You know? The ones that the 2000's era ground based celltowers picked up? From an airliner at 30,000 feet?
Those towers whose range doesn't even reach _half_ that height?
This is just one, _one_ irregularity of the _thousands_ associated with this event.
Hit a nerve eh? Good. Seethe.

Crazy that it was the FAA's national operations manager's (Ben Sliney) first day on the job when it happened.
That's one hell of an orientation.
"Finally, my first day on the job! This will be an easy day."
Trial by fire they said
that was probably planned as well
coincidence ? I think not
I was in 2nd grade living in Manhattan and I got picked up from school by my parents during lunchtime. When we got home I saw it on tv and thought it was a movie playing
nooo wayy hahaha, I hope that was not traumatizaing for you after
It’s the definition of “who’s going to tell him”
I was 24 and living in Queens. Raced to pick up my girlfriend that was at work in Long Island City. Almost couldn't get there since all the highways, tunnels, and bridges got shut down. I remember seeing fire trucks headed to Manhattan with firefighters that never made it home. I passed 1 fire house ( Engine 288 and Haz Mat) where I think every man from that house died. I remember seeing people running through the streets crying and panicking. But I finally made it and got her back home safe. We live in PA now. Had 2 kids, divorced. I think about 9/11 almost everyday.
So if you were in 2nd grade, you must be around 32 now. I hope that day didn't impact you too much and that things are going good for you.
i'm hoping you aren't traumatised.
I live in Brazil and I was 13 or 14 back then. I remember my school principal going classroom to classroom to tell the news as soon as our tv stations gave the news. It was a eerie day.
9-II appeared in an episode of The Simpsons, years prior to the “attack,” and numerous other places. It is well and truly sick
Lmao crazy how western centric global media is, this shit happens in other countries all the time, but boo hoo the US, the world hegemony that destroys countries periodically suffered this
That sounds oddly similar to the day the Challenger space shuttle went down when I was nine. They had wheeled in a TV for us to watch the first teacher in space. The principal came in to talk to the teacher to make sure we didn't see it.
@@naeemahmed5236 Why did you put air qutoes over attack?
@@eman4630My reply to you was deleted. Pathetic
12:53 there was one other plane that was allowed to fly. It was a small Learjet that had the antidote for a very highly venomous snake that bit somebody in Miami and it flew from San Diego while being escorted by two F-16s.
I came watching this video partly because of the F-16 on the thumbnail and this comment is the only mention of the plane.
I thought it was Miami? cause from what I know antivenom for exotic snakes are all stockpiled in Miami
@@farhanpramadipta1858 most likely
Slight correction. Professional snake handler Lawrence Van Sertima was bit by a Taipan snake on September 11 and taken to a hospital in Miami by helicopter. All Taipan antivenom vials in the state of Florida were used on Van Sertima but he ultimately needed more. The only locations that had Taipan antivenom were New York and San Diego. Since New York was obviously not an option that day, the extra antivenom had to come from San Diego. The director of the hospital requested FAA approval for a Learjet 36 to carry the antivenom from San Diego to Miami which was granted. The Learjet landed in Miami at 4PM on Wednesday after being escorted by two fighter jets, and Van Sertima survived.
@@farhanpramadipta1858 Yes, the man was bitten in Florida and taken to a hospital in Miami where he was administered all the Taipan snake antivenom available in the state. More antivenom had to be flown from San Diego with FAA approval and 2 fighter escorts.
4:57 how sad he just wanted a photo of the air force one
Yeah:(
He went to that airport to do planespoting on that day.
Why not just go up to him to ask what he was doing. Literally a 2 minute delay.
@@swaggerybecause what if he did have a gun?
@@swaggery Because it would have been more than a 2 minute delay and it was just as easy to take off from the other direction?

3:13 I know this is definitely not the focus of the video, but since no one else is imma point this out:
The Air Force One featured in this video is a modified 747-800, as opposed to a modified 747-200B, which has a much smaller upper deck
also this dude mispronounced BARRED. he said BARED. instead of ten oh three he said ten three
Its called the 747-8, not 747-800.
@@Chorizo727 It ate what???
What's the difference between a 747-8, a 747-8B5, a 747-87UF, and a 747-830?
@@teddycustumz3267 I don't think English is his first language. (The way he reads out times is a clue too - 10:03 is "ten-three".) If that's the case, I think he did an excellent job with narration. Heck, he did an excellent job anyway - great tone and pacing. It's easy to find little faults and miss the greater qualities in a person. Doing narration in a 2nd language is a fantastic achievement. Can you do it?
My uncle was one of the pilots that flew the president on 9/11!
He always brings that story out during thanksgiving lmfao
Now his idiot nephew uses it on RUclips videos. The cycle of life
Sure
@@domdaman12 Haha, it's fine if you don't believe me 😅
But I'm telling the truth, he flew Air Force One for 8 years!
your unc is an og bro respect to him
I was one of the thousands of people who watched them fly in when no planes were supposed to be in the sky. We couldn't believe we were seeing a plane. Then we all realized it was AIR Force One and they were landing at Barksdale AFB, a few miles away.
He never thought that his simple day could turn into a national matter
World matter.
That was part of his problem. He didn't consider the fact that his job included national matters everyday. He wasn't prepared most of the time.
@@artscollab Okay he didnt know a godamn plane was gonna hit into the world trade Center when he was trying to do a promotion campaign for schools.
@@noahniskala I didn't like bush, but this is a good point lol
Oh he knew
I was a kid when this happened. Still went to school but no classes were teaching, the entire school had their tv's on watching this news unfold.
My school wasn't like that. I failed a test because I was too distracted by the news; the teacher left the TV on while the test was going on.
@@TheOriginalJphyper Terrible teacher giving out a test when this was going on.
Really happy to see this channel reaching its full potential.
This channel and another with a similar MO (Fact Faction) definitely do quality over quantity. And there's nothing wrong with that.

I remember an interview of an F15 pilot who protected the Air Force One along the way. At some point they realized that, if it came to an attack on the plane, they had one simple job: put themselves between the attacker and the president. I habe massive respect to everybody involved.
There were two F-15’s that got up in the air with only 100 rounds of training ammo (no missiles or other weapons).They were sent to intercept Flight 93 when it stopped talking to ATC. The two pilots made a plan in the air that one would ram their plane into the cockpit while the other rammed their plane into the tail since they had no weapons, but the passengers fought back and the plane crashed in PA before they got there. The pilots were Major Heather Penney and General Marc Sasseville.
Don't forget that Vice President at that time commanding the whole operation from the safe bunker in the white house because the president is absent. The VP had no choice and he was the one who ordered the fighter pilot to shoot down those passenger airplane, when the news about the airplane crashing down (he didn't know that plane crashing down by it's own), the VP said, "Ladies and Gentleman, we shot American airplane in American soil"
No shit
@@paulmorrow8372 Those were 16s.
Net gain isn't it.
You know 9/11 is a crazy event when there is still videos being posted about it 23 years later and still being relevant and getting plenty of views. Please make more videos about this topic, so much mystery to uncover.
9/11 isn't talked about because it's a "crazy event", it's because it's the first time the US got retribution for their actions.
Yeah
They only recently found footage of Saudi Arabia's government hosting events/parties for some of the hijackers and discussing how to fly planes into ground targets. Just search up "9/11 saudi arabia lawsuit 2024"
yh big historical moments usually arent forgotten 👏👏👏
There’s still videos / shows / movies being made about WW1, napoleon, the Roman Empire, and so on. The thing is though….all the stuff in this video is already heavily documented and covered already in multiple forms.
Ngl you deserve to be on trending, happy you are.
I was in 3rd year in my university in Ottawa, Ontario. I can never forget this day. It will forever be ingrained in my mind.
Slight typo error at 8:30 - Dick Cheney was not the 64th VP, he was the 46th.
Thank you ! I was like hold up haha
@@jeffreypease9475i thought i was really dumb for a second i googled it lol

That makes so much more sense. I was like theres no way there have been like 70 vps and 46 presidencies.
@@sidheron7397 5 year old detected.
That’s insane, imagine your the president at a elementary school with children with no worries, then out of nowhere you get news that your country is under attack, and you can’t do anything about it, absolutely terrible.
why would it bother him when he was the one who planned it ffs wake the fck up you still delusioned by the lies that were told by the government and media
Lol, George Bush did plenty about it.
Him and Mista'arvims did it 😅
You are so gullible
Still no worries,you know
It's amazing that as time goes on, more and more secrets unfold, even after 23 years later
True
Thankyou for making these videos this helped me with my presentation!
what do you mean, this IS the presentation. turn frames into slides, study the transcript, done.
I still can't believe it took so long to get fighter escorts anywhere that day. Pretty unbelievable.
You have to keep in mind this was America in peacetime. There were no major threats back then that justified the extensive intelligence and military preparedness that we are used to today.
@@AsymmetricalCrimes I'm just surprised that they had no preparation or training for any potential threats in the skies. Isn't that what fighter jets are for? To take down domestic air threats? From what I remember they pretty much did nothing that entire day because they couldn't get in the air in time. That's shocking to me. I guess hijacking of planes was completely unexpected and unheard of.
@@jeremysmith9694 i don't think you understand how long it takes for a none prepped fighter to do safety checks, and pre-flight inspection as well as suiting a pilot up in the a g-suit so they don't pass out while flying at intense G's.
@@zavtparticles6828 I probably don't understand. But literally isn't that their job? I would have thought air force one has its own private fighters on call essentially ready to go at any time. I guess that's not the job of fighter jets. I'm not sure what their job is if not that. It's like a firefighter. They're trained to get ready and go fast in emergencies. It kinda blows my mind.
@@jeremysmith9694 in overseas location and on aircraft carriers we do keep some aircraft in a let's say "ready to fly status - alert" in either 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 minute status. Thats over seas, not at home, during "peacetime" at 9/8/7/6am depending on your time zone. 2nd, as stated in the video, AF1 was making decisions on its own and flying as the secret service saw fit without outside notice, granted they did fly over Pensacola and jacksonville which house the navy epicenter of East coast fighter jets.
going back to your 1st comment, the FAA/ATC were more than likely not aware of the simultaneous hijacking of 4 aircraft fast enough to be able to notify regional air commands for interception. Also, if they did manage an intercept, you'll need to think about how the pilot and mission command will be thinking, "hey, there are hundreds of innocent people on-board, and the debris could land in a populated area, do you fire on the aircraft?"
Over all its an extremely complicated matter we hopefully should never experience again as a nation.
Get this man an HBO show or something; these videos are better than any Smithsonian documentary.

Like bibis october 7
I'd just come into the office and was downstairs in the cafe getting a coffee when the TV in the corner window started showing the coverage of the towers. Couldn't get through to my folks because the cell network was over capacity and not connecting calls. They sent us home from work shortly afterward. It's something no one who was around for it will ever forget.
were you in nyc or another city office?
I think..... if you were in the WTC, you'd definitely heard something blew up upstairs and possibly rumbling structure..
but I'm assuming you were working somewhere else in NYC.. today, the managers would still ask you "Are you coming to work today?" Despite seeing meteor just outside their window as it about to hit them straight in the nose.
@@WOTM8 Yeah, wtf you people are weird. My office was not anywhere near the WTC. Never claimed it was.

I bet the agent who informed Bush about the second plane felt really cool when he added that second line out of nowhere
he’d probably been wanting to say something like that his whole life lol
It wasnt an agent, it was his chief of staff
I don't think he had time to think about being cool. His mind is probably racing thinking about all the massive tasks and responsibilities that he was going to need to do.
to be fair, it was genuinely the main point of discussion in that moment -- freak accident, or intentional? obviously Bush could have inferred it on its own, but redundancy never hurts. the fact that America was under attack was why he had to gtfo
@@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX SO MUCH PAPERWORK
The way you document some of these events with such good visuals to go with it always has me so invested
New subscriber..... neo, this is journalism at its finest. I was at work at a local US TV station that morning - I was a tech person. And when the 2nd plane hit, I felt my knees almost buckle. Everyone knew the world had just changed in an instant. On the day, I remember feeling lost - along with everyone at work - as AF1 was in communications blackout while POTUS headed back to DC. That night, all the TV stations, even ones with no news division, had gotten last minute retransmission agreements to simulcast one of the other networks covering the event. Wall-to-wall coverage went on for at least 3 days.
I was also at work, at a TV station in Omaha. I still remember it vividly. When we learned Bush was on his way to Offutt AFB, we scrambled a live crew out there to cover it - it was surreal. In the end, I was on the switcher directing our coverage until well after Bush left Offutt. 12+ hours without a break. The enormity of what happened that day didn't hit me until I got home - we were too busy covering it.
The production and effort on this videos are awesome!
Great video!
My dad used to live in New York and work in the building next to the World Trade Center. when the first plane hit, he looked around and saw a HUGE fireball coming from the first tower. he still went in to work, because he also thought it was just and accident. but when the second plane hit, he ran. when we came back to the one world trade center and his old office, he cried it out. it was the first time I ever saw him actually cry, i was pretty shocked. i showed him this video and he could confirm everything that happend in this video.
Was your dad onboard Air Force One?
@@sharp14x yes he's Bush
@@Gingerbread657😂
My boyfriend worked next door as well in the World Financial Center. One of the worst parts of that day was no one's cell phones worked. I couldn't get in touch with him, had no idea if he was under a pile of rubble. At about 10:45am I got a landline call and heard the words "I'm home". I'll never forget that moment. He caught the last train to leave Penn station before all transit was suspended.
I’m from Sarasota County, and what baffles me is that Bush was at Emma E. Booker Elementary which is not that far from where the hijacker ringleader Mohammad Atta got flight training at Huffman Aviation in Venice, FL a little bit south of Sarasota. Crazy times.

You make some of the best documentries on RUclips. (In my opinion)
This video is one of the most informative ones out there. You're giving us all a clear picture of what really happened during historical events.
guys who practiced Islam, who took tiny razorblade boxcutters, did cocaine frequently, "accidentally" left a copy of a Quran at a bar (they're not allowed to drink either), and they were terrible pilots, but they hit 3 out of four targets.
I was wondering why I felt like I watched this before but turns out I’ve already watched it back in December on Nebula. I appreciate the early releases of videos on Nebula.

I live in Sweden 🇸🇪. At this time we had a new office lacking only one thing. A tv antenna or cable. Internet news outlets were overloaded instantly after this event started. Sweden is 7 hours ahead of New York. So the first mentions of this happened in the early afternoon here.
I was working at Ericsson the telecom company at the time and later that afternoon I was taking a flight to London for a 3 day conference. We actually did go. On a British Airways Boeing 767 3 hours delayed since 3 passengers with loaded bags were missing. It was total chaos and changes flying forever. Also during the conference they said that “of course keep your phones on!” We were glued to tvs and radio in taxis all night that day making our way to London and our hotel. On the return trip security was forever changed and everything down to a hairpin had to be left behind in plastic bags. A horrible event that still fascinates and terrifies people to this day, which probably was intended. Also sparked a lot of conspiracy theories. I will never forget 9/11 2001
What a crazy experience, I always like to learn more about how the rest of the world perceived the events that happened on 9/11. Thank you for sharing your story

Amazing video !!!!!!!!!!! Very detailed beautyfull voice and also I really love watching the video.
I send my condolences to all the people who died on 9/11. Never forget 😔
And millions of innocents killed in response and many more who suffered brutality.
Congrats on the 69th (public) video on the channel. The quality of the videos is outstanding and you deserve all the subs.
Great video! There's an excellent Politico article from a few years ago called "We’re the Only Plane in the Sky", about this situation, with interviews from a bunch of the people who worked / flew on it.
So is anyone else bingeing 911 videos? It’s just so unbelievable I have to rewatch videos to believe this tragedy
100% agree
Not anymore. The design of the buildings failed the design standards to withstand a airliner impact. The internal interagency federal interagency offices linking together did not exist. That new roll was created by the DOHS. aircraft doors did n9t have a locking. Door.
And what about building 7? How did they have time to put the demolition charges in?
I watched it all in person and still binge these videos. It's wild
Just started watching and I can already tell this'll be a banger of a video.
NICE VIDEO TIL THE END AND YOU MADE IT POLITICAL WITH THE AD.
god, neo is the best youtuber i have literally ever seen
I thought the footage of the Air Force One in the sky was just stock footage but its actually a 3D animation with a cool VCR effect. Well done.
Even 20+ years later it still feels surreal to see those planes hitting the towers. Absolutely unbelievable. People often say "I remember where I was when this happened" about several events that they deem important when they really aren't in the grand scheme of things, but I do remember where I was when this happened - and I live on the other side of the world.
I was about 9 or 10. And I was round Lewis Turnbull’s house and remember seeing it on the tele. Mad
I‘m 20 now and therefore wasn‘t born when all this happened but whenever I see videos about 9/11 I start crying. I‘m not even American aswell
amazing video

This video is simply amazing 😮
Your work is amazing - thanks for uploading!
9:17, the Canadian government issued a similar order for a plane approaching is airspace from international airspace. When the fighter pilots reached the offending airplane, the fighters were ordered to shoot the plane down, but the pilots on site decided to give communications another shot. Communicating by Morse code, the pilot of the passenger plane and the fighter were able to communicate, making it known the passenger airplane was experiencing a malfunction in their radio. Lucky both the fighter pilots and the pilot of the passenger jet knew Morse!
Believe the narrative - Spread the narrative - Become the narrative
I was at work that morning and still remember that call on my radio: “Unit 25 return to base.” Which was strange because I was doing critically necessary pick ups and deliveries.
I have been down a 911 rabbit hole today, and now this happens to be newly uploaded. Well done picking the algorithm posting well.

congrats on 2m neo
Thank you!
I know you are AB testing the thumbnail, but I think the one with the side profile of the plane, with the towers in the background is a stronger thumbnail as compared to the one that you currently have on! Just my two cents.. And the content is fantastic as usual. Top job! :)

I am not from the US and was a kid when it happened but I remember the news, it was the second day of school and had just returned home, my dad was watching it on the TV
President of my flight school was flying the backup 757 for Air Force One. He said they were sitting in the cockpit reading the morning papers which were printed before the attacks happened, so they had no idea what was happening. Suddenly Secret Service came and told them to get in the air ASAP. They didn't know where they were going either but ultimately they did go straight back to DC I believe. He said the most surreal thing about it all was how quiet the radios were. Usually there's constant chatter all the way along the east coast but it was just them, AF1, and the controllers
Great video, well done
On 9/11 we lived in apartment buildings right near SAC Offut AFB. At first we heard the jets and went out onto the patio because we thought the base was under attack. Than we heard a larger plane and as the plane turned in to make a landing at the base I saw the seal on the plane. It was all in slow motion, and I can still see it as clear as if it had happened yesterday. Just seeing Air Force One heading to land not but 2 miles away from where I stood on that day was crazy.
I'll never forget that helpless look on Bush's face when his aide whispered into his ear about the two towers being hit. You could tell he was thinking 'Oh, sh11111111t, now I have to make decisions. Pappy reassured me the job was nothing but rodeos and power boats. Now I'm going to have to actually go to work and _think."_
I remember that day after I got home from school, there was a small general aviation plane flying around my town near DFW. Two fighter jets dispatched to intercept it right over my neighborhood. I swear they were so close you could see the pilots. Apparently the guy had no idea the airspace had been shut down. I wish I could’ve heard that conversation they had with him.
There's an amazing documentary that goes completely indepth about this. They even interview all of the important people who were involved that day, including Bush and Cheney. Kind of crazy to see them actually talking in-depth about 9/11 since you usually get fairly surface level responses from them about things.
The doc is called 9/11: Inside the President's War Room
writing from my hubby's account we share: I salute the people on flight 93. I am so sorry for the loss to their family and friends. You all were so brave and we are so thankful for your selfless collaboration. I will never forget that day. Only a few years earlier because of my own family abusing me, I had tried to commit suicide to escape my family so seeing the people jump from the towers in desperation maybe thinking maybe they might have a chance, maybe not knowing how close they were or not to the ground as it was being destroyed, just knotted my stomach, twisted my heart in pain and made me cry. It still hurts my heart to see the footage. They were jumping but they were jumping because they had lives to get back to, family to live with, family who was waiting and hoping they would live. I remember my mom and I just sitting on the couch together snuggled up crying softly and singing along quietly/silently to the chorus of Alan Jackson's "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning?" That was a beautiful song and remains a beautiful song.
