If only humans could shut up and learn from the tree. This story has touched my heart.
@Ryan Aronson 😶🤐
I actually saw this tree in person when I visited the 9/11 memorial in NYC a few years ago. It was absolutely stunning, and gave me hope that with every struggle comes new beauty.
I saw the tree as well when I visited New York 10 years after 9/11.
Good for you dork
Just beautiful.
The tree was there where so many died.
And he is back to show us, that after every dark night there is light, after every cold winter, there is spring. Even hit badly the tree shows the most beautiful blossom - for those who died and for those who remaind. A stong symbol to teach us that life goes on.
All these comments are negative, have some respect for the horrible tragedy, it may be just a tree, but it symbolizes so much more.
***** why u cri so much?? us bomb 2 major city in japan and kill much more people then this plane crash.
Yeah, it symbolizes the greatest crime ever commited in history. And I'm not reffering to Al-Qaida...
Yes. The Survivor Tree represents so much more than you people realize!!!
Thank you so much. =^]
That tree is very strong and it show how strong the people are on that day
It's symbolic of people, doing together for the good of the country and community
Sweet! I'd heard the story of the tree, but I hadn't seen any footage of the return. It stands as a fine symbol of the renewed life at ground zero.
at the other end, I'm absolutely appalled by the negativity and outright hate pervading this comment section. It's a very sad reflection of how really sick our society is today. Very sad...
A phoenix from the ruins
Melissa Griffin I saw your comment and kind of decided to reply because my name is Phoenix and that tree is a Phoenix from the ruins so thanks for your comment
Melissa Griffin so true!!!
Melissa Griffin your so right and that tree is still there 18yrs after that terrible day
When it dies, the wood should be used for something special. Not sure what, but it would be a waste to grind it into chips.
Yooo, it would be sick if they made the twin towers out of that wood.
Thomas Hale ikr!
@@shadmanrchowdhury Tyn it would reproduce and then make more, increasing the life span
It is officially part of the history. A good part. Who would have thought? I'm glad someone did.
This tree symbolizes how America’s recovery after 9/11
US hegemony is in decline now. Even their loyal european allies (puppets) have started to question them. The US military is losing its edge over rivals each passing day. The only good thing is that china is surrounded by US allies in the east (japan, taiwan, Philippines and vietnam) and by India on the west.
This is so heartwarming ♥️🌳
Just saw the tree last week ❤️
This tree survived from the towers. My mother told me if something bad happen in America, people who put a ribbon on it. On a holiday, like the 4th of July, they put lights on it.
The tree who survived the september 11 2001
This is beautiful ❤️
I'm sure family members appreciate the moving of this tree more than money.
Tree of hope
Look at the Harbinger by John Cahn. Ive got goose bumps. Also at senators speach re the bricks have fallen.
I just finished reading this, and WOW
That why I'm here too
Nice story
Strong Tree just like all the first responders that lost their lives😰
I must admit I thought this story was a complete lie I know a little about gardening and when I heard about this tree I thought it was just a story for the museum to have and cheer people up no way a tree can survive that it's a replica but when you actually see the tree I've seen it in person it's not in perfect condition you can see the marks on it wich couldn't be done on purpose its creepy/unbelievable
Negan God is good!😀😂😃😄😅😆
Wow, never knew about this until now
Now the tree itself can last longer than it originally was going to
wow i never thought this would spark so much hatred. there are plenty of other events, videos, websites, speeches, gatherings, places to donate and help out the victims of 9/11. I don't what this tree has to do with whether or not 9/11 was an inside job. Thousands of innocent people died regardless
wow that was strong and old
Before that tree dies they need to save saplings from it
They did! There’s a survivor tree park in Long Island!
Trees have been dedicated to 9/11 heroes.
It’s in nesconset, ny
@@yzar007 so awesome, I hope this tree and its descendents live for a long time.
it's an invasive species
SHe is a survivor, a fighter!
Wow.........
Wow that tree went threw tell on 911 and survived ! god is good even to the tree look how beautiful it bloomed back up !😀😁😂😃😄😅😆😆
I think the saplings from this beautiful tree were given to disaster sites around the world
❤️
This the tree Frank was talking about? Thinks he's a big shot now?
He doesn't even call Frank anymore smh
Hi everyone just to let you know on Sunday on September 11 it's gr be minute slicence at 11.00am for we never forget 9/11 on that day what shook the world in New York l can remember the first plane hitting the North Tower at 8.46 am of the world trade centre and at 9.03am the second plane ✈ hitting the south tower see the both on fire when l was at school l saw the plane hitting the world trade centre l saw it on the CNN or Sky news loads of firemen and people who were working at the world trade centre before the terrorist attacks began on he world trade centre l heard massive fire ball in Tower one the North Tower thousands of people who died that day on September 11th 2001 on Tuesday it was hobbie day people were upset because of the terrorist attacks on world trade centre in New York City
“Theres nothing that says this tree is special” Definitely not the guardrail around it
Remember this is an invasive and nonnative callery pear! Plant a different native species to remember the tragedy
It's not any more special than the other tress in the park, except that it has a big railing around it. I think that would give a clue there's something special about it. The other trees don't seem to have that around there.
I’ve never got to see the 911 memorial tree I’ve got to see the Oklahoma City bombing memorial tree
Cool story. But where’s the story when the city government wouldn’t cover healthcare to the first responders??? Yep, an uniquely American story.
looks like the tree from GOT winterfell tree
It burned the steel but not the tree or the paper
Oh okay then.
#neverforgetINSIDEJOBMANYLIVESLOST ;(
Unless its a "repentance" tree, you're wasting your time.
No repentance needed. God loves trees.
Waste of time and money.
Waste? I think you have never watched a documentary on 9/11 nor had anyone you knew damaged by it.
CrosrectMusic No but the money would be better spent on those households that lost their main income earner. Do you not agree?
tehkoalainsurgency I just hope that you realize money isn't the most important thing out there before its too late
Your comment is a waste of time and pixels
tehkoalainsurgency 3 years later I can still say stfu
my friend don't think 9/11 happened :(
Its just a tree tho
And Morris your just an idiot.
Word cannot descrip what a pethetic load of rubbish this is.
Spend the money on the families who lost members
Why should a tree nursery spend money on 9/11 victims? Their job is to grow, maintain and rescue nature
