I lost my father at the world trade center. I was 13 years old. I’m 34 with four children now. My father was a port authority police Lieutenant. This is the most classy tasteful museum tour I’ve seen on RUclips. Thank you for showing so much respect. The water fall you showed in the beginning of the video you were standing right by my fathers name!
I'm so sorry for your loss and I know ur dad is looking down proud as anything of you,your family and the respect at seeing the world trade centre being treated and looked after so well.. This video really got me.. I had just sat down for lunch and cnn came on.I never watch the news! I love 🇱🇷 so much .
I’m incredibly sorry for your loss and for the way it happened!!! Your father is a hero and I can’t wait for us all to be rejoined in heaven when I can meet such brave men as him !!!
The saddest part is that they never were able to identify all the people who died that day. They only identified 1653 people as of 2018. RIP to all that lost their life that day
One of my friend's wives only got back a finger.. Because she had had their wedding rings engraved, they knew it was his and she was able to have a funeral. Tests why they didn't know much... Most was ash from the high intensity fire that burned for 3 weeks. The rest was the blast of the building that collapsed caused such high winds and force that the bodies weren't intact. There was a firefighter who survived unscratched by a complete miracle.
With the weight of the entire tower crashing down on you...I doubt much would be left intact...heard most of the bodies got completely pulverised (the ones that got crushed and the ones which fell) and not to mention the ones that were burnt to ashes.
@Yo waddup It has to do with the collapse... scientists has proven that the force and winds created were1/4 of the blast wave of Hiroshima. That's what tore everything up.
Deb Russell I was in class I’m in eighth grade and we were watching a documentary of about nine eleven and ik what guy your talking about.he said everyone took the time to shake each others hand and wish each other good luck. And he said that he is the only firefighter who survived and the others all parishes.
I was a firefighter at the Pentagon that day. I still struggle with memories of the day. Thank you for preparing me for the baby steps I must take to visit NYC to honor my fallen brothers and sisters. I appreciate you for making this video.
You’d need a baby’s brain to believe your brothers and sisters from New York ,who’s bodies were of the thousands never recovered , were killed in a building collapse
Four years ago I visited ground zero. I was taking a picture of the names where the towers used to be when a girl in her twenties walked up and put a white rose next to a name. “I love you dad” is what she said. I was three when 9/11 happened so I don’t remember that day but seeing that lady at the memorial made it so much more real.
I was just a month and a half shy of turning 2. I was alive for the attacks but obviously don’t remember a thing and it trips me out knowing I was alive for such a horrific tragedy but have no recollection of it
11:17 - Every firefighter aboard Ladder 118 that day died in the line of duty. First responders are superheroes. Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for what you do.
Luubelaar, May god be with those heroes. The First Responders who survived have said “We aren’t the heroes.. it’s the people who lost their lives saving others that are the real heroes.”
What absolutely breaks my heart, is when they were using search and rescue dogs to find survivors, the dogs got more and more sad because everyone who they found were already dead... The dogs' owners would hide in the rumble to try and lift their dogs' spirits...It just absolutely destroys my heart. RIP to everyone who died on the horrible day, and as we go back to that horrific day in 2 days as of now, we will all remember what happened.
Went to the museum just last year, one of the artifacts that absolutely broke me was a window panel from flight 175. I remember sitting there just staring at it, thinking of the person sitting behind that window. Watching everything around them getting closer and closer. I hope they weren’t alone, I hope they had someone to try to comfort them in their last moments
I recently visited a titanic museum exhibit and one of the first artifacts i saw was a broken porthole frame. I imagined all the people who wouldve looked through that porthole, maybe even while the ship was sinking. It was so sad and made it much more real
@@normfreilinger5655 you can control the ads. You can monetize your video so that there's ads and you get money or you don't monetize it and don't profit off of the video with no ads
I was 11 years old when it happened. Every year on the anniversary, I will watch clips or read stories because I never want to grow apathetic or forget. My parents were friends with a 30 year man who called his Mom tell her, “It’s getting really hot in here. The doors are locked and I can’t breathe.” Whenever I think of him and those who passed, it makes challenges and the blows of life not hit as hard or look so big because all that matters is to love and be kind. If you’re reading this, please, don’t take your loved ones or your life for granted or the simple freedoms of being able to walk, breathe, talk, etc. I know how hard life can be, but while we process the pain of it, let’s never forget what we can be grateful for. I truly believe this is how we honor those who died. If you are reading this and knew someone who passed, I am deeply sorry. My heart breaks with you.
I was 12 when this happened while In Asia. I grew up in the States and went back. When my Mom called me and told me to come home, I saw the news and couldn't believe it. Two years later I flew back to the States. Quite sad.
I was 9 i had a doctors appointment and showed up to my dads job with my mom when they told us that the north tower was hit amd i just felt that it wasn't going to get better. Then we went to a friends house and a few moments later the south tower had fallen then of course the north. At first i didn't exactly get that so many people had died untill they mentioned it, I've personally never been there but with each movie or picture of new york i still imagine them there. I could imagine what the skyline would ne like if 9/11 never happened.
I was 8 years old I was pretty young but still remember it clearly as I woke up at 5:30 everyday for school, but that day I watched cartoons but got bored then surfed until I got to the news Channel then that’s when I saw it Edit: I lived in California so there was a 3 hour time difference
The hardest part about the museum for me was walking into the room with pictures of every single person who sadly passed away.. nothing truly prepared me for that to be able to see their faces smiling and happy it was so hard they all had so much life left to live … I remember some people even chose not to go inside as it was very difficult and heart wrenching it was the only part of the museum that was not allowed to be filmed or have pictures taken, respectfully so . May the victims Rest In Peace for eternity they will never be forgotten!✝️❤️😞
I think it is absolutely amazing that they have a memorial like this. Not just the stuff (pieces of the WTCs, plane, etc) but also the people. Their faces, their names... That's what a memorial should be.
I had to push myself to go in and now that half of them had to jump out the window the sound of the bodies hitting the pavement just brought the tears to my eyes this lady had to pull me closer to her
I'm so sorry that you lost your dad. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I sat in stunned disbelief in my small Alabama town and cried as I watched it unfold, trying to imagine the horror everyone was and did go thru. Once again, I'm so sorry. I know it hasn't been easy for you and your family and that makes my heart ache even more.
Very sorry for your loss Madison. I was 6 when this happened and strangely realized even then how horrible this was. I have tremendous respect for fire fighters and your dad was an incredible person. I can say that and know I'm right without ever having known him. It must have been very difficult without him. I appreciate your sacrifice as well and your family's as well as of course your dad's. ❤
I was 18 when this happened ,i turned 36 last week and have not stepped foot on that ground yet. I watched that day happen live from my office window and anytime i see any image from this day it instantly transports me back. The smell, the taste of tears,the look of disbelief all around me ,the fear of not knowing what would be hit next, it has stayed with me. It took 10 years to really start talking about it. I thought i wouldnt ever be able to visit but after watching this and fighting my tears i think this year will be the year i pay my respects adding my tears and feelings to the millions that have also dripped on that hollowed ground. Thank you for thus video it has helped me in so many ways. God bless no matter which god or gods or not that u may or may not pray to.
TheBrob1983 i wasnt even born there yet and ive never been in new york but its very very sad for me that many people died that time and i also learned very much from school about this 9/11 stuf
@@erijonmehmedi forget text books go and search out people who lived that day ..you will get tons of different views of the same event. That honestly was the day everything changed
I was 18 also when this happened. Every year or when I see the towers and the 2 other planes at the pentagon and the plane I’m sure was heading for the White House I get goosebumps and really,really sad. I’ll never be able to go in their.
I was 21 years old on 9/11. I’ve lived in New Jersey for 39 of my 40 years alive. I’ll never forget that day. I had just left Home Depot and my dads friend called him telling him to turn on the radio that a plane just hit the tower. It was a short drive to the house we were working in and we rushed inside and asked the homeowner to turn the tv on. Seconds later the second plane hit. For the next 3 hours we stood in silence watching it unfold. I can still remember how perfect of a day it was, absolutely beautiful out. Later that day when we tried to get some work done and about an hour after the buildings had collapsed, we started to notice dust in the air. It was debris that had made its way down towards us from nyc. It was at that moment that the shock wore off and it really hit home at the magnitude of what happened. The fact that some 70 miles south of Manhattan and we could see and smell it in the air. Couldn’t begin to imagine being in the city that day. Oddly enough a few years later we were in a home that was being sold and a friend of my father was looking to buy it and have us remodel it and sell. Well the women had passed away and the house was left ransacked by her family. Anything in the house was to be thrown out. I found all her old film, negatives, and pictures from the last 60 years. I found negatives from 9/12/01. She was in nyc and took photos of ground zero. I still have the negatives to this day
As a new yorker.. I cry every year and I didn't lose anyone I know. Thank you for this video and thank you for caring. Saddens me to see how divided we all are when I grew up in a world so united after 911.. im 30yo now.. and it still hurts me.
Yeah. I hear you. And I am not even a New Yorker. Be safe. Watch out for everyone around you, even though they might not want your help. But help everyone in New York City!
Same I'm a New Yorker as well. I'm 32 and connected with this tragedy as being it was home. I saw how united united NY became. The USA became. And now....smh.... a shame.
Not a New Yorker, but live 30 minutes away from the city and have innumerable memories of NYC over the years. From stuffing my money in my sock as a very young child, to visiting ground zero with my scout troop, to jetting from the cops at Union Square (Yeah... no skateboarding, btw lol), to fighting a fake ticket in Harlem (the judge chewed the cop btw, I won), to now being able to take similar trips with my nephews... The city has always had, idk some kind of place in my heart, whatever it is. I can't say I know how y'all feel, but it's a very weird feeling for me. For a time I went out oystering from Greenwich CT, and watched the early morning city lights twinkle across the water and couldn't help but think man... The skyline looks a lot different these days.
absolutely even when you did speak you were speaking sp softly. Thank You. I actually just watched a video where they showed them putting that fire truck into the museum.
@@A-lo1 the money probably goes to the museum to help support organizations, itself, etc. No disrespect to the original poster, but we don’t really know what they would’ve done with the money
@@mop9091 Yes you're right. And I was just trying to make a point, and what's always funny to me, is how people will justify things. Like in this case, people will say it's bad if he keeps the money. But it's OK if he gives it away. What's the difference? We don't know what he would do with the money. Nor do we know what any other person/organization will do with the money. And we all gotta eat. That's all I was trying to say. But yes I get your point.
I went to Ground Zero a few years back. Though I didn’t know anyone that lost their life that day, it was very upsetting. I think they did a beautiful job at making sure everyone is remembered. The waterfalls are perfect for the monument. I felt that the water represents all the tears that were shed from everyone around America. I am proud to be an American and I’m proud to say I live in America. We have the most amazing first responders and soldiers in the world. 🇺🇸
@@mikehouqe8634 Really? So I see you don't think my last comment is funny anymore. Why'd you delete your "ahahaha" response? Let me guess... cause you read my other comment and realize I don't believe the official story? So I can't be funny now huh? And I guess that means I need psychological help also? Sounds like you're the one that needs the psychological help.
I’m a New Yorker. I want to thank you for doing this and for the respect you showed. I have to admit that I’ve never had the courage to go to the museum. I had just turned 10 when it happened and I vividly remember the chaos and confusion that morning. Many parents were picking up their kids and due to all the uncertainty and slow process they started throwing eggs and tomatoes to let the kids out. No one felt safe. Cellphones weren’t really common back then and many people had to go walking back home because public transportation was suspended. The feeling I felt of seeing my single mom (only relative) come back home safe that night is indescribable. I will NEVER forget the silence of the next day. NYC was paralyzed. Schools were cancelled, businesses were closed. Walking outside you only heard silence and felt the sadness all around. Every year it seems that the feelings come back again… the sadness, the emptiness, the memories, the impotence. Truly, as a New Yorker, I will never forget. My prayers are always with the lost souls, the heroes that saved lives, the heroes that lost their lives saving others, the families that lost their loved ones, the people that helped after, and those that continue to battle with the memories or anything related to that event.
I was the same age . But In Jersey and the exact same silence here the next day . Scary ,’sad , and something that would Would definitely change everything forever .
@Patricia V … I stood in the ruins on November 2001 with internal conflicts. My eyes (& nose) recognized the Twin Towers were gone but my mind did not registered. I couldn’t finish this video b/c I started to get upset. I’m a native New Yorker as well and don’t think I can go to Ground Zero to visit. I fear that internal conflict again.
WOW 💖 IT'S BREAKS ME WHEN I READ YOUR COMMENT AND OTHER PEOPLE'S I WAS IN NEW YORK AROUND 1994 WITH MY BROTHER AND WENT UPTO THE TOP OF THE TRADE TOWER THINK IT WAS SOUTH, AND THERE WAS A SHOP ONTOP AND IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED THERE AND YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE AROUND NEW YORK MAKES ME CRY AROUND THIS TIME AND ON THE ACTUAL DAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH EVERYONE ONE OF YOU, TAKE CARE 💖🌹 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXZ
I travelled from the UK, and went down to pay my respects to all those that had lost their lives. It’s a beautiful memorial, but heartbreaking. The museum is something that will stay with me always. I will never forget.
@@jodeedugger7570 We've got your back and always shall. Ausuk is testimony to that. Dependable allies are crucial in this increasingly dangerous world.
1:17 Mark Joseph Ellis (NYPD) days before the attack he proposed to his girlfriend of six years. He also applied to the FBI and secret service, and after his transition his family found out he got accepted into both. RIP Mark.
My dad is also a firefighter he could have went from Illinois to there but they didn’t need/want more people. I’m Sad he died but he in a better place I bet it was hard for your dad and you but he is in a better place💕
I have a friend on the retained (U.K), he would have come over and contributed in a heartbeat. Not all heroes wear capes, some wear a tunic and helmet, and your Dad is one of them x
@@IsaBelleB.a everyones going to die, nobody lives forever. and if only people could realize that 911 and 7/7 was done by governments to invade the middle east. the news is corrupted but there's people in this world who just cant accept that
The South Tower memorial bears the name of my friend and colleague, Paramedic Lt. Ricardo Quinn. We both worked as medics in Brooklyn in the 90’s. He died in the lobby of the South tower while treating a patient when it fell.
gasaholic47 I learned about him yesterday at the tribute memorial what a sad and tragic story for all who lost there lives, Respect to Guy Sanders for sharing his personal story as well as the moments he was with the others that lost there lives
gasaholic47 that makes me think about how many people would have been able to save themeselves in the moment. those who were helping the wounded knew that dealing with the situation would have its risks, but they were heroes until the end. your friend’s (along with all other victims) story will live on.
To all of those posting comments sharing your connection with this tragedy, I am so so sorry. I can't even fathom what the victims and those of you left behind went through that day. You all are always in my prayers and thoughts.
actually being in that museum is chilling. almost complete silence, other than the sounds of some people sniffling. the artifacts and photos are absolutely terrifying. i can’t even imagine.
You want to know what's *really* terrifying and chilling? That the terrorists who were in the highest levels of American military and political office, who planned and orchestrated the attacks, are still at large. WTC 7 didn't blow itself up... and neither did the twin towers.
My uncle mike made it out, and every year he visits everyone sits together and listens to him telling his story... my called my dad and my dad said “don’t tell me goodbye hang up and get your a** out of there” and he did.. he was on a business trip from TN when it happened.
Everything is so huge and gigantic. The beams, the ground zero hole, the elevator motor, the spire. Its a frightening sense of reality. Thank you for respectfully giving us who can't get there a look. Much love from Los Angeles.
Wow a really really bad day. For everyone. But unlike myself,9/11 meant so much more to me than an attack. My mom pasted on 9/8 and on 9/11 I was burying her. It literally took about 3 months before it really sunk in to me that hey, no one's life will ever be the same. And then, it took the poem Meet me in the stairwell for it to really really hit. Boy, Satan plagued me with the worst nightmares anyone could have. As a young child, for some reason I allowed a door for Satan to plaque me with doubt about my mother's salvation. And I started having nightmares that my mom's soul was in one of the pilots bodies flying those planes into those places killing Innocent people. It was horrible. I finally got to someone I trusted and got it all figured out and I know for a doubt that my mom's in heaven. It took a lot of work and faith on my part but it's figured out in my heart now. No more doubt. And I tell Satan to go to hell where he belongs and to leave me alone. Thanks, Tammy from North Carolina.
This was done with dignity and respect. No hyped up click baits, no flashy titles. I'm very impressed. Kudos to you. You deserve every subscriber! Thank you. Subscribed.
Never forget... that the terrorists who were in the highest levels of American military and political office who planned and orchestrated the attacks are still at large. WTC 7 didn't blow itself up... and neither did the twin towers.
I cry a little bit too much every year on the Anniversary of 9/11. And my Family and my extended Family didn’t loose anyone that terrible day. Thank God. But I still cry a little too much, as I have said.
Rest In Peace to my uncles brother and fiancé. 🙏🏻❤️ You both will always be remembered. ❤️❤️❤️ Rest In Peace to everyone else who passed away. 🙏🏻 Thank you all for being hero’s.

I was there 2 years ago, standing in front of the reflection pool when a kid, 12 maybe 14 asked his mother "mom, what is this place"? Mother "i don't know sweet heart, perhaps a park or something " like wtf?
Maybe she was from different country you americans smh think that the other counturies doesn’t have their own tragedies and we just want to only hear about america, like some of y’all still think that nazi germany death camps were polish death camps which is disgusting and the lack of information yall have is terrible
That day not only shook the US but it changed all the World... That day we all were New Yorkers.... Love from India.....🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️♥️ God bless United States and India...❤️♥️
I remember i was in 1st grade & not although not know much about it but my dad sat their & watch the TV whole time but i watching the towers fell has given a sense of shock to me. And in the same year in December our Parliament was attacked by terrorists.
There are many more than 2,977 souls who lost their lives due to the initial attack. The subsequent illnesses people contracted from the dust, the depression led suicides, the trauma and inability to recover... we lost thousands more in the aftermath. 20 years this year, and it feels like yesterday. What a horrendous day, and the pain is still there. It always will be.
More than 2000 people have died from 9/11 related diseases due to the toxicity of the debris. More than 10k people diagnosed with cancer and the average age of a 9/11 first responder is now 55. By 2030 the number of deaths are expected to double that of those that died in 2001
Born 9 days after the attacks, but I still get extremely emotional every year. I'll always remember my sister telling me for the first time about her 11th birthday on September 11th and how I just burst into tears after she told me. Every year, I feel like I can just feel the sorrow from everyone in this country, especially when I go back and watch the footage. RIP to all of the brave people who lost their lives that day. Even though I don't know anyone who passed that day, I will always respect each and every one of them.
What a fine young man you are. The fact that you realized the importance of going there & the level of reverence you have, speaks volumes about you. Serving as a model for a younger generation to carry the torch of never forgetting, is comforting. Thank you, sir.
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures Thank You so much for the Respect you have shown to the USA and those who lost there lives that tragic day. #WeWillNeverForget #IWillAlwayRemember
And yet they dont talk about Chiles 9/11 that the United states illegally attacked chile in 9/11/73 and killed more than in 2001 but you know "American standards"
If you think your life is hard, just imagine the sheer agony these innocent victims felt on that utterly tragic day. I commend you for giving such a clear and concise tour of the premises so respectfully. I went here several years ago with my family and was genuinely moved to tears myself. God rest the souls of all the innocent victims who died.......
I visited the museum a few years ago. Inside, they have an audio recording of a dispatcher who's reading off a list of all responding units. It was an unending list, naming stations and precincts from every corner of the city and beyond it. The sheer number of units that responded to alarm calls was staggering. Most of them were lost when the towers fell. I broke down listening to her. It's still one of the most sobering moments I've experienced.
Sept 11, 2021. The 20th anniversary memorial commemorations are taking place today, right now . I stopped to comment that l just heard Christopher Colasanti's name read out aloud. I hope the person who wrote the original comment will have the chance to read this post and draw some comfort from it.
20 years ago today. The pain will never go away. We all remember where we were on that day and how it changed the world. RIP to those that perished that day.
I'm from England and was only 10 on the day it happened - to me New York was just where Spider Man lived, but it still shook me to see it happening. I've heard it said that the millennium felt a lot like post-history, like we'd reached some kind of happy plateau with the horrors of the last century behind us. Unfortunately that day changed that and we've still not recovered. The entire world was stood right there with you, New York. Enormous love and hugs to everybody who suffered, to those lost and their loved ones.
I was there the day the Memorial opened with every intention of taking the tour but i was so effected by the two pools and the absolute silence all around, i could not go in. No one spoke nor made eye contact, it was eerie and extremely sad. Never went back before I left NYC for good. I was in Manhattan on 9/11 and it turned out I knew 4 old schoolmates who perished that day. The chaos of that day will stay deep in my bones until I die. God bless all who needlessly passed that day...what a horror it was.
I just realized that this museum is filled with an event that happened during my time. Every other museum I’ve visited had artifacts from decades or even centuries before me. It’s surreal to be able to say I was alive when this happened. Centuries and decades from now people will visit this museum and wonder what life was like the year 9/11 happened. I experienced it. It feels so strange to say.
My sisters dad worked in at the top part of the building and he still has the key to his office (my sister and I are half sisters she has her own dad I have my own)
I wen't to new york when I was 12 and my family and I took us to the memorial, I remember sitting in the little cinema room at the start of the tour as they showed us a little video of 9/11 and for some reason being of that age I felt very little sadness as all I was thinking about was going to the top of the one world trade center on the really cool elevator. 6 years later after many history lessons in school I flew to new york and visited the memorial. I cried as I came to the crushed firetruck thinking of all those brave men who stormed the buildings with only one intention, to save lives. To that I salute everyone who died that day.
My brother was around 6-7 when 9/11 happened. We aren't American, but my mom worked in a newspaper. That was one of her days off. As they were watching TV, the news broke. After that she immediately got a call from the newspaper to go to work (she took care of the foreign stuff cause she spoke English). Later that day my brother said that he didn't get why everyone was making a big fuss out of that. "people die every day". Oh, such an innocent little boy he was. I wasn't even born till 2002, and even though we live in Bulgaria, every year it's mentioned that it happened on 9/11. So yeah, this is how my mum's day went. I'd like to visit that memorial one day, but yknow... It's on the other side of the world.
I remeber my teacher told us her friends mom and dad where on the plane and they wher saying there goodbyes.....then it crashed in the Building but the phone call didnt end she explained it as if there was 1000 people in a in a big room screaming with a big rock falling...then she started to keep saying" I love You I love you I love you "over and over again..and our teacher said sometimes she would text her dead mom and dad saying" i wish i could see you more and more hug you..hear all the joy we had every day.... even hear you saying goodnight darling...I love you ill see you when my time comes "and our whole class even our teacher were crying by now so us gurls went to cry in the bathroom but over all i cant imagine how hard it was for her
the trauma that the teacher went through I am so sorry for the teacher bcs not only did they lose both of their parents but as well hear those screams, must have been terrible
whenever i went to new york, this is one of the things i wanted to do. i went in alone, and it was the most saddest experiences i’ve had. i actually started to cry when walking through it. rest in peace to all the souls who were lost that day.
its unnerving to think that your stepping on the grounds which two large towers once stood, where ash, paper and metal flew down upon, where people fell to their deaths, exploding on the sidewalk, it just seems unnerving to think that your on those grounds where it happened
The dust from the collapse had human remains,parts,particles,and matter in it.. And visiting there you are walking on a ground where that stuff was Sad man. Sad.
Canadian here. Visited the memorial site and never felt more humble to have the opportunity to have visited this sacred place. What a travesty for Americans that dreadful day. 🇨🇦❣️🇺🇸
@@dianaryan1485 I must say that it's a very sobering experience to be there as an American... I have no desire to go back there (The museum part, at least). On the flip side, I'm glad I was able to pay my respects when I was there ;(
It is my goal to one day go to the 9/11 museum (alone). I have no connection to 9/11, but I still feel incredible compassion and love for the people who lost their lives that day and the families who continue to love and grieve them. It would be an honour to be able to stand on this ground and be present.
I wish I visited alone because my friends who went with me didn't want to explore the museum because they didn't want to feel sad. They waited for me on the concourse benches. The moment I couldn't hold my tears was seeing the toys of the children who perished on one of the flights.
@@babeudoo I wish I went inside. I was just in NYC about a month ago, and my friends would’ve rather scurry around the city aimlessly then to go in the museum. I really wanted to go in but felt rude to leave them and go alone.
Have you visited the Vietnam wall? How about the museum of the Titanic sinking? Been to Pearl Harbor? And that’s just Americans being wiped out. People die all the time. 9/11, while messed up, was just a weird excuse to become patriotic. Some religious nuts stole some planes, rammed them into some buildings, and killed around 4 thousand people. At the height of the pandemic, we were losing that many people DAILY. People love to turn something sick and become morose about it. Personally, I think the memorial is a waste of space on a tiny island. Talk about letting the terrorist win.
Thousands of innocent people died and still you blame it on the former president I honestly don’t know what goes through your head. RIP all the victims of 9/11 you will never be forgotten the world cry’s for you xxx
David Merriman My god man. We built this place to honor those who gave their lives to help those who couldn’t help themselves. This a sacred place to show how America has been scarred, but how we’ve risen from the ashes. What do you call the WW2 memorial or the Lincoln Monument? These places represent people who gave their lives to fight an evil organization, but it does honor those who were evil, it just represents those fought and did the good thing in face of pure evil. So no, I think having two holes in the ground is a very fitting thing to have compared to covering up those holes and pretending that it never happened. Also there happens to be a WTC right next to the ones you were just desecrating. Next time think about those who gave everything for scum like you to have their opinion.
This day is what made me become a firefighter. To all the lives lost that day every one of them were heroes. First responders an civilians. People showed great love an incredible bravery for each other
DJx I think it’s totally okay for him to use the jokes. It’s a coping mechanism and he just wants to turn it into a good thing. I’m sure that’s what his father would want too. I still think it’s weird for people who aren’t affected by 9/11 to make jokes tho. They’re the ones being down right rude.
Toe You know that dark humour exists tho right? I'm not saying that I make 9/11 jokes or that I find them funny, but this happened almost 20 years ago. There's boundaries to everything tho and at some point jokes become outright disrespectful.
With the 20th anniversary coming up my heart is heavy. Ever since I was young I was horrified by what those people had to encounter and what their last moments felt like. My mom and sister took a trip to NY w few years ago and while visiting the museum they said there wasn’t a single person in it that wasn’t crying. RIP to those who lost their lives. I hope you all have an eternity of peace for what you went through🤍
@@Us3r739 al-quaeda caused it. They were supported by the Taliban. Most people agree that we should have pulled out. It was gonna be a mess. However what is conflicted is how messy the pull out was. We will still remember the perpetrators.
And the fact that we just left Afghanistan and are giving those terrorists the opportunity to rebuild is horrible. Biden is the devil in disguise and he has done nothing but divide and bring evil to our great nation. We can only pray that something is done soon to stop his never ending destruction of our once beautiful nation.
Jesus, can't belive this was almost 20 years ago, seems like yesterday I was coming home from school (UK) and watching this on the news in shock and horror. RIP to all the victims and heroes that died that day 🙏
i was 13 when it happened. got home from school and my mum told me. at the time i was too naieve to know the significance of what it meant but will never forget
yes m8 i came home from school too, my dad was watching it on the small tv in the dinning room , since that day when ever i look at the clock its always 911 am
I was 18 watching my country come under attack. This is history for younger folks, it was a life changing event for me. My world went from bright and hopeful, to a long grueling war.
When I went to this memorial and museum, I thought at one point my heart skipped a beat. I was beyond dumbfounded at how phenomenal of a job they did. It’s honestly better than some museums I’ve seen in Europe.
My mom’s co-worker at the time was good friends with Rahma Salie and her husband. They and their unborn baby were on their way to CA for a wedding of another friend. They were on Flight 11, the one that struck first and hit the North Tower. I often wonder how it must have felt to be a passenger on that flight, not knowing what was going to happen, but only that you were hijacked and that possibly someone had been killed. And then you see yourself flying just a little too low, a little too close to… and then you’re gone. I wonder if any of them had time to realize they were going to hit that building before they did.
There was a documentary I watched years ago, can't remember the name but out of everything the one thing that has stuck with me most was when they interviewed a fire fighter he said "imagine how bad it must be up there that the better option is to jump"
It is common that during fire in some high buildings, block of flats etc trapped people tend to lean in windows. The fiercer the fire becomes, the more they prefer to stand on window frame, lean on it and ultimately jump if no option remains plus the shock effect. Even simple home fire can turn into over 500 degrees cauldron producing masses of hundreds degrees hot smoke. And the WTC fires? The phone calls of trapped people above the fire and survivors stories tell enough of the horrors.. I do understand jumping, and always pity such people. I had a dubious "pleasure" to experience just a real, small fire in confined space. The smoke was hot and pitch black, fortunately not that toxic or burning-hot; The breathing sensation was basically the same as trying to breathe with water - yes, I experienced the "pleasure" of drowning too. Basically I couldn't breath at all due to severe pain in throat and lungs. And again, that was only pathetic "big campfire" size of fire. There are common, flammable materials which during burning produce masses of carbon monoxide. Very few breaths of such smoke turns people unconsious in seconds with moderate chance of surviving even with immediate medical help. Then all kinds of burns. Then seeing badly burnt people, and afaik in WTC there were many of those below and above the plane crash areas, barely surviving the initial fireball. Nothing to envy for..
What was sad about that day as I watched on TV people looking up and just watching the plane hit , everyone looked helpless. That day my heart left with them still 20 years later I still cry with a hurting heart. I'm still holding on to the calendar of 2001.
Imagine. Working, signing paperwork... the you see a plane heading straight for the building you are in.. eventually the plane came to close, you see the plane crash through the window.. fire everywhere.. being flung out of your seat because of the force then being engulfed by the fire and smoke... hearing silence.. seeing nothing but black... next thing you know your in Heaven
You wouldn’t see the impact or hear it. The speed and force, you’d black out instantly. Merciful compared to being conscious for it. The horrors of that day will live with millions until their dying day.
I know it happen 19 years ago but i swore to never visit the world trade centre ever again, I know for a fact no plane would ever crashed to it ever again but something in my nerve system is talk me out of it, i’ll stand close to it but heck naw i ain’t going inside,
Thank you for filming this. So humbling. From the ground that you're walking on where people jumped to their deaths to the fountains to the pieces of the World Trade Center, may we never forget this unnecessary loss of life.
You know, when I was a kid, I used to wait by the window waiting for my Dad to come home from work. And I don't know why I never thought about it before- I suppose being an adult the day 9/11 happened my mind thought other things about the day- but it occurred to be that there probably was a child waiting and waiting for a parent that never showed up. Even if said child knew what happened, they would still wait.
Every time I see anything about 9/11 I cry . My soul cries . I lived there when 9/11 happened. Been a New Yorker all my life. Until I moved out of state 2 years ago. I still feel that day. I. Remember everything that morning. Getting ready for work. I remember looking outside my apt, and thinking to myself wow what a beautiful Blue sky. That day the sky was perfectly clear no clouds at all.💝😢🙏🏼😃☹️
I lived through it too. It was a beautiful late summer morning. I'd just settled in at work in my office on the 42nd floor at the Paramount building, at 50th & Broadway. Someone who worked on the south-facing side came running screaming that she saw a plane hit the WTC. That was the end of normal. A neighbor died there, another one survived because his train was delayed so he wasn't in the city yet; everyone else in his office perished. 18 years later, the wound is still raw. Thank you for sharing this video. We cannot ever afford to forget.
Christina Roman-Velez I can’t remember much from that day but I remember my grandma telling my brothers and I to pray because my mom worked close to the buildings. And I can’t express how grateful I am that she came home. My heart is heavy from all of the suffering and pain the families of the victims are feeling, but I know they are smiling down on us and are happy that we honor their memories.
I can’t imagine what it would feel like to see it in person. I was 18 years old when this happened. Every time like watching it live every time I get goosebumps. I know I can’t go in the museum or I can’t find the words on what to call it.
I went there when I was in New York City. Im born on 9/11 and so is my brother but we're not twins, we were born on the same day 6 years apart. Every year on my birthday I reflect on that day and I always look through the newspaper I have from that day in 2001. I will never forget about that day.
We went to NYC in 2004 and decided to visit 'ground zero' ...it's really quite hard to convey how it feels when you're there (If you've not been there) It's obviously extemelly sad but the atmosphere there feels very *heavy* and so, so strange and something I'll never forget. I had absolutely no connection to anyone involved but I felt very emotional whilst in the area. I think you managed to cover this sensitive topic very well Shawn, with a lot of tact, class and respect...just my opinion.
I felt heavy too, but I didn't go into the museum. You can feel the presence of people who have died. That's the second time i've felt that way. The first was in the Holocaust Museum in DC
I was there a little less than a year after 9/11 and it was one of the most emotional moments of my life. Just looking out over ground zero.. I will never, ever forget that moment. This video was beautifully done. Very, very respectful.
I was 23 when this happened. I was a 1st year app in my union. It was actually my first week of work. In 20 + years i never really returned to ground zero. Until i was working down the block at trinity church. I went to the memorial at lunch one day. I got 100 yards from the site and could feel its sad grieving energy. I was barely 50 yards from it and i started to become overwhelmed with emotion. Its amazing how heavy that energy really is. Needless to say i went back to work and never went into the memorial. Thanks for the video.
I was there, on 6th ave and 10th street in Greenwich village having coffee at my uncle's apartment, we walked to 6th ave and watched the 2nd plane hit and both towers fall, I'll never forget
This might sound stupid but when I visited the museum I saw a paper that said “Lost person: Fabian Soto...” and I just stood there for a moment and couldn’t believe that his name was so similar to mine which is Fabiana Soto and I was born 2 years after the attacks (2003) it just seemed so odd!
I've read that when we reincarnate, our new name can resemble our old name in sound, cadence, syllable or other similarities. Just my thought and 2¢ which isn't worth much. Peace!
Ann Fitzgerald literally are you that stupid lol And the initial comment had absolutely nothing to do with Jews, yet you had to make an innocent comment anti Semitic. Jews died in the attacks too, wake up to yourself, fitzy.
My mom remembers driving to work that day and hearing it on the news. She said many cars stopped to the side of the road to listen. When she got to work, she said nothing was right, everything felt wrong.
I haven't been back to NY since 1980 when I was there for a weeks' holiday with my grandmother. I was 14 at the time and really, the only thing I wanted to see was the World Trade Center towers. I still have all the photos I took, both from ground level and on the observation deck, overlooking the South Tower and the antennas, as well as the ticket for admittance to the observation deck. I was home recovering from herniated disc surgery on 9/11 and spent the entire day watching the horror unfold. After watching your video, I doubt I could handle seeing it all in person. It's still difficult to reconcile that it's gone and all those people are gone as well, in such a horribly tragic event that still makes me sad 22 years later. Thank you for the walk-thru and for showing such respect. We will never forget.
I’ve been there when I was in grade 5 with my mom and when she saw my uncles name on that she started to cry he was in the north tower we took two hours just to find it
Eyelessend so many people lie about this. It is sad and pathetic. If they were telling the truth they would give his name. Sometimes they give a name and guess what”it’s not true”!. Have some common sense and piss off!
the four people that dis-liked this video, don't you have a heart, Shawn made this video in very respectful way and it reminds us all that life is precious and not to take it for granted. well done Shawn
I’m from the UK and I was 4 years old when this happened. We had a box TV in our kitchen and I remember seeing two buildings on the screen, one of them was on fire and everyone standing around looking at the TV in tears. It wasn’t until several years later we were taught about 9/11 in our history classes in primary school and that same day when I asked my father about what he remembered from 9/11 he recalled the exact event above. Our family standing around the TV and some of them in tears. This pretty much means that I was able to partially recall an event from exactly 20 years ago. I am now 24 years old
You perfectly described how I saw it on tv too. I'm 25 and in the UK I remember being a kid and having a box tv on top of the fridge in the kitchen and I was confused, and didn't understand the gravity of the situation. My mum had the channel on that for hours and watched it unfold. Only till primary school I was educated about it what happened.
I live in east tennessee and there is a small park located in an area that is very rural and seldom visited. We were camping nearby once and we stumbled upon this park so we stopped. There in the middle of this space is a girder from 911. I couldn't believe my eyes. I stood there and cried and cried as the grief and magnitude hit me so deep. I will never forget that day, never. I can't imagine being at the memorial, I don't think my heart could stand up to the pain of what I would see and sense.
Just imagine you being in there You are working minding your buisness, you and everyone else hear a loud boom and next thing you know the fire alarms on there’s smoke everywhere you run out then build and see the second tower get hit, you run to get shelter and watch as they fall and you see everything disappear in all that dust and smoke This is a sad event I cry when I see it I still pray for them
It's heartbreaking and makes my stomach drop. These people had plans after work. These people had fights with their significant others that will never be resolved. These people were engaged, expecting their first child, excited to see their child graduate in December and in the spring. People launching their careers and experiencing their first internships. These were people that had plans for retirement. These were your average everyday people that never wanted to be part of a tragic page in history. May they all rest in peace, and may their families find peace.
@@neurologylove2135 I know plans for getting a beer or going to birthday party etc. Kissing your significant other goodbye NEVER imaging the heartbreak that's coming that day. I still get tears and have a difficult time watching any of the news coverage, or looking at the newspapers I have from that day.
I was just a boy when 9/11 happened and I remember leaving school early because some fellows had family living in NYC by then. I remember watching the whole thing on the TV and up to this day, 9/11 still makes me feel sad and shocked. Infinite love and compassion to all those who perished and their families, may you all be able to overcome this dreadful day and event soon and find peace and happiness 🙏🏻
I lost my father at the world trade center. I was 13 years old. I’m 34 with four children now. My father was a port authority police Lieutenant. This is the most classy tasteful museum tour I’ve seen on RUclips. Thank you for showing so much respect. The water fall you showed in the beginning of the video you were standing right by my fathers name!
God bless your daddy and your family ❤
Hugs galore to you!
Thank you to your father for his bravery and God bless your family. #neverforgotten
I'm so sorry for your loss and I know ur dad is looking down proud as anything of you,your family and the respect at seeing the world trade centre being treated and looked after so well.. This video really got me..
I had just sat down for lunch and cnn came on.I never watch the news! I love 🇱🇷 so much .
I’m incredibly sorry for your loss and for the way it happened!!! Your father is a hero and I can’t wait for us all to be rejoined in heaven when I can meet such brave men as him !!!
RIP to my uncle, a firefighter who lost his life in 9/11
I’m sorry.
your uncle died a hero
Rest In Peace to your uncle, a true hero ✊🏼
Rest In Peace to your uncle, a true hero ✊🏼
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The saddest part is that they never were able to identify all the people who died that day. They only identified 1653 people as of 2018. RIP to all that lost their life that day
One of my friend's wives only got back a finger.. Because she had had their wedding rings engraved, they knew it was his and she was able to have a funeral. Tests why they didn't know much... Most was ash from the high intensity fire that burned for 3 weeks. The rest was the blast of the building that collapsed caused such high winds and force that the bodies weren't intact. There was a firefighter who survived unscratched by a complete miracle.
With the weight of the entire tower crashing down on you...I doubt much would be left intact...heard most of the bodies got completely pulverised (the ones that got crushed and the ones which fell) and not to mention the ones that were burnt to ashes.
@@yowaddup5649 yes I totally understand that's what's so sad
@Yo waddup
It has to do with the collapse... scientists has proven that the force and winds created were1/4 of the blast wave of Hiroshima. That's what tore everything up.
Deb Russell I was in class I’m in eighth grade and we were watching a documentary of about nine eleven and ik what guy your talking about.he said everyone took the time to shake each others hand and wish each other good luck. And he said that he is the only firefighter who survived and the others all parishes.
I was a firefighter at the Pentagon that day. I still struggle with memories of the day. Thank you for preparing me for the baby steps I must take to visit NYC to honor my fallen brothers and sisters. I appreciate you for making this video.
Thank you so much for your service and my heart goes out to you for the lose of your fellow brothers and sisters
Don’t you hate when idiots say a plane didn’t hit the Pentagon. It angers me. People are morons.
You’d need a baby’s brain to believe your brothers and sisters from New York ,who’s bodies were of the thousands never recovered , were killed in a building collapse
@@danielpadgett2831thank you for your service ( to Larry Silverstein)
Four years ago I visited ground zero. I was taking a picture of the names where the towers used to be when a girl in her twenties walked up and put a white rose next to a name. “I love you dad” is what she said. I was three when 9/11 happened so I don’t remember that day but seeing that lady at the memorial made it so much more real.
A white rose means its was a victim's birthday that day
If it was someone putting it there, it could just be a memorial, but yes, the people who maintain the memorial do it on their birthdays
Made me tear up reading that gosh
I was just a month and a half shy of turning 2. I was alive for the attacks but obviously don’t remember a thing and it trips me out knowing I was alive for such a horrific tragedy but have no recollection of it
i woulda cried right then and there
11:17 - Every firefighter aboard Ladder 118 that day died in the line of duty.
First responders are superheroes. Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for what you do.
Luubelaar, May god be with those heroes. The First Responders who survived have said “We aren’t the heroes.. it’s the people who lost their lives saving others that are the real heroes.”
I can believe this because Iron Man doesn’t have a cape.
wCosmic what a lack of respect, comparing a fictional character to real life heroes who literally lost their lives saving others. Nice
@@Poodlebear19234 its a joke lol
@@ロマンス音楽 youre a joke
What absolutely breaks my heart, is when they were using search and rescue dogs to find survivors, the dogs got more and more sad because everyone who they found were already dead... The dogs' owners would hide in the rumble to try and lift their dogs' spirits...It just absolutely destroys my heart. RIP to everyone who died on the horrible day, and as we go back to that horrific day in 2 days as of now, we will all remember what happened.
Some of the dogs even died while searching for people. :'(
no not 2 your talking about the passed like who cares that they died there the ones who where on the top
nicole mcelroy what? Did u just say who cares that all those people died
DARK I think so 😔
William Swallow bro I swear to god if she actually just said that on 9/11 ofc her name is fucking Nicole
Went to the museum just last year, one of the artifacts that absolutely broke me was a window panel from flight 175. I remember sitting there just staring at it, thinking of the person sitting behind that window. Watching everything around them getting closer and closer. I hope they weren’t alone, I hope they had someone to try to comfort them in their last moments
I saw it too when I went to New York last year. And still people say there were no planes on 9/11...
I recently visited a titanic museum exhibit and one of the first artifacts i saw was a broken porthole frame. I imagined all the people who wouldve looked through that porthole, maybe even while the ship was sinking. It was so sad and made it much more real
This man had the opportunity to put ads on the video but didn't he is really respectful hope there will be more people like him
"Worried something might go wrong during your travels? Have peace of mind with World Trade Travel insurance"
He doesn’t control the ads , u-tube does . Nice thought though
@@normfreilinger5655 you can control the ads. You can monetize your video so that there's ads and you get money or you don't monetize it and don't profit off of the video with no ads

No ads. Silent. Much respect to you man. You’re truly one of RUclipss best channels.
Lucas Smith there's an ad at 6 mins
Not on mine.

Annoying voice and bad English
There was an ad for me
I was 11 years old when it happened. Every year on the anniversary, I will watch clips or read stories because I never want to grow apathetic or forget. My parents were friends with a 30 year man who called his Mom tell her, “It’s getting really hot in here. The doors are locked and I can’t breathe.” Whenever I think of him and those who passed, it makes challenges and the blows of life not hit as hard or look so big because all that matters is to love and be kind.
If you’re reading this, please, don’t take your loved ones or your life for granted or the simple freedoms of being able to walk, breathe, talk, etc. I know how hard life can be, but while we process the pain of it, let’s never forget what we can be grateful for. I truly believe this is how we honor those who died.
If you are reading this and knew someone who passed, I am deeply sorry. My heart breaks with you.
I was 12 when this happened while In Asia. I grew up in the States and went back. When my Mom called me and told me to come home, I saw the news and couldn't believe it.
Two years later I flew back to the States. Quite sad.
I was 9 i had a doctors appointment and showed up to my dads job with my mom when they told us that the north tower was hit amd i just felt that it wasn't going to get better. Then we went to a friends house and a few moments later the south tower had fallen then of course the north. At first i didn't exactly get that so many people had died untill they mentioned it, I've personally never been there but with each movie or picture of new york i still imagine them there. I could imagine what the skyline would ne like if 9/11 never happened.
I was 8 years old I was pretty young but still remember it clearly as I woke up at 5:30 everyday for school, but that day I watched cartoons but got bored then surfed until I got to the news Channel then that’s when I saw it
Edit: I lived in California so there was a 3 hour time difference
God bless you
That’s a very nice text. Here take this like
The hardest part about the museum for me was walking into the room with pictures of every single person who sadly passed away.. nothing truly prepared me for that to be able to see their faces smiling and happy it was so hard they all had so much life left to live … I remember some people even chose not to go inside as it was very difficult and heart wrenching it was the only part of the museum that was not allowed to be filmed or have pictures taken, respectfully so . May the victims Rest In Peace for eternity they will never be forgotten!✝️❤️😞
I think it is absolutely amazing that they have a memorial like this. Not just the stuff (pieces of the WTCs, plane, etc) but also the people. Their faces, their names... That's what a memorial should be.
To me that is what the Pearl Harbor memorial needs- not just a list of names of those who were killed, but their smiling faces as well.
I had to push myself to go in and now that half of them had to jump out the window the sound of the bodies hitting the pavement just brought the tears to my eyes this lady had to pull me closer to her
The Photo that horrifies me the most is the World Trade Center Window Cleaner Roko Camaj.
It doesnt hit you how many people 2,800+ is until you see all their faces in one room. Absolutely horrible
Rest In Peace daddy❤️ thank you for being a hero❤️🚒
I'm so sorry that you lost your dad. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I sat in stunned disbelief in my small Alabama town and cried as I watched it unfold, trying to imagine the horror everyone was and did go thru. Once again, I'm so sorry. I know it hasn't been easy for you and your family and that makes my heart ache even more.
Oopsie Doopsie WTF why
@Oopsie Doopsie Shut up yourself
Very sorry for your loss Madison. I was 6 when this happened and strangely realized even then how horrible this was. I have tremendous respect for fire fighters and your dad was an incredible person. I can say that and know I'm right without ever having known him. It must have been very difficult without him. I appreciate your sacrifice as well and your family's as well as of course your dad's. ❤
🥺😭 sorry for you’re loss
I was 18 when this happened ,i turned 36 last week and have not stepped foot on that ground yet. I watched that day happen live from my office window and anytime i see any image from this day it instantly transports me back. The smell, the taste of tears,the look of disbelief all around me ,the fear of not knowing what would be hit next, it has stayed with me. It took 10 years to really start talking about it. I thought i wouldnt ever be able to visit but after watching this and fighting my tears i think this year will be the year i pay my respects adding my tears and feelings to the millions that have also dripped on that hollowed ground. Thank you for thus video it has helped me in so many ways. God bless no matter which god or gods or not that u may or may not pray to.
TheBrob1983 happy birthday 🎁🎈🎂🎉🎊
@@johnnynepa2000 thanx
TheBrob1983 i wasnt even born there yet and ive never been in new york but its very very sad for me that many people died that time and i also learned very much from school about this 9/11 stuf
@@erijonmehmedi forget text books go and search out people who lived that day ..you will get tons of different views of the same event. That honestly was the day everything changed
I was 18 also when this happened. Every year or when I see the towers and the 2 other planes at the pentagon and the plane I’m sure was heading for the White House I get goosebumps and really,really sad. I’ll never be able to go in their.
I was 21 years old on 9/11. I’ve lived in New Jersey for 39 of my 40 years alive. I’ll never forget that day. I had just left Home Depot and my dads friend called him telling him to turn on the radio that a plane just hit the tower. It was a short drive to the house we were working in and we rushed inside and asked the homeowner to turn the tv on. Seconds later the second plane hit. For the next 3 hours we stood in silence watching it unfold. I can still remember how perfect of a day it was, absolutely beautiful out. Later that day when we tried to get some work done and about an hour after the buildings had collapsed, we started to notice dust in the air. It was debris that had made its way down towards us from nyc. It was at that moment that the shock wore off and it really hit home at the magnitude of what happened. The fact that some 70 miles south of Manhattan and we could see and smell it in the air. Couldn’t begin to imagine being in the city that day. Oddly enough a few years later we were in a home that was being sold and a friend of my father was looking to buy it and have us remodel it and sell. Well the women had passed away and the house was left ransacked by her family. Anything in the house was to be thrown out. I found all her old film, negatives, and pictures from the last 60 years. I found negatives from 9/12/01. She was in nyc and took photos of ground zero. I still have the negatives to this day
sad
have u ever thought of getting them developed ,some historical time pieces there , the museum may pay you for them who knows
Develop them
Give them to museum and media
I don't know why but as I started to read your post I became emotional, it took me right back to this (9-11) day. I just wanted to say that.
As a new yorker.. I cry every year and I didn't lose anyone I know. Thank you for this video and thank you for caring. Saddens me to see how divided we all are when I grew up in a world so united after 911.. im 30yo now.. and it still hurts me.
Yeah. I hear you. And I am not even a New Yorker. Be safe. Watch out for everyone around you, even though they might not want your help. But help everyone in New York City!
Same Age, Same City, Same Exact Emotions.
Same I'm a New Yorker as well. I'm 32 and connected with this tragedy as being it was home. I saw how united united NY became. The USA became. And now....smh.... a shame.
I have heard that this tragedy affects much of New york to this very day. May we never forget.
Not a New Yorker, but live 30 minutes away from the city and have innumerable memories of NYC over the years. From stuffing my money in my sock as a very young child, to visiting ground zero with my scout troop, to jetting from the cops at Union Square (Yeah... no skateboarding, btw lol), to fighting a fake ticket in Harlem (the judge chewed the cop btw, I won), to now being able to take similar trips with my nephews...
The city has always had, idk some kind of place in my heart, whatever it is. I can't say I know how y'all feel, but it's a very weird feeling for me. For a time I went out oystering from Greenwich CT, and watched the early morning city lights twinkle across the water and couldn't help but think man... The skyline looks a lot different these days.
Rip to my cousin a firefighter who lost his life on 9/11 and to my HS friend who died on Flight 93 on 9/11💔
I’m so sorry I read this and it gave me chills

So sorry to hear the loss of your cousin, my prayers for you
Sorry for both of your losses

Just to show how much respect this guy gives, he didn't put any ads when he had the opportunity to do it.
If it's respectful not to put ads and monetize this, then what does that say about the museum charging admission?
@@A-lo1 the money probably goes to the museum to help support organizations, itself, etc.
No disrespect to the original poster, but we don’t really know what they would’ve done with the money
@@mop9091 Yes you're right. And I was just trying to make a point, and what's always funny to me, is how people will justify things.

I’m a New Yorker. I want to thank you for doing this and for the respect you showed. I have to admit that I’ve never had the courage to go to the museum. I had just turned 10 when it happened and I vividly remember the chaos and confusion that morning. Many parents were picking up their kids and due to all the uncertainty and slow process they started throwing eggs and tomatoes to let the kids out. No one felt safe. Cellphones weren’t really common back then and many people had to go walking back home because public transportation was suspended. The feeling I felt of seeing my single mom (only relative) come back home safe that night is indescribable. I will NEVER forget the silence of the next day. NYC was paralyzed. Schools were cancelled, businesses were closed. Walking outside you only heard silence and felt the sadness all around. Every year it seems that the feelings come back again… the sadness, the emptiness, the memories, the impotence. Truly, as a New Yorker, I will never forget. My prayers are always with the lost souls, the heroes that saved lives, the heroes that lost their lives saving others, the families that lost their loved ones, the people that helped after, and those that continue to battle with the memories or anything related to that event.
omg I can't even imagine! :/
I was the same age . But In Jersey and the exact same silence here the next day . Scary ,’sad , and something that would
Would definitely change everything forever .
@Elena López I’m I of the understanding permission had to be given for obtain fire trucks and other effects
@Patricia V … I stood in the ruins on November 2001 with internal conflicts. My eyes (& nose) recognized the Twin Towers were gone but my mind did not registered. I couldn’t finish this video b/c I started to get upset. I’m a native New Yorker as well and don’t think I can go to Ground Zero to visit. I fear that internal conflict again.

He died a hero 💜
gasaholic47 that makes me think about how many people would have been able to save themeselves in the moment. those who were helping the wounded knew that dealing with the situation would have its risks, but they were heroes until the end. your friend’s (along with all other victims) story will live on.

Same feeling here but instead Queensland Australia.
actually being in that museum is chilling. almost complete silence, other than the sounds of some people sniffling. the artifacts and photos are absolutely terrifying. i can’t even imagine.

@luna Vizana There are different approaches to creating memorials.
It really isnt when you're there. Everything is in a pretty small area. Hard to imagine trying to run away from falling buildings when it happened
Wow a really really bad day. For everyone. But unlike myself,9/11 meant so much more to me than an attack. My mom pasted on 9/8 and on 9/11 I was burying her. It literally took about 3 months before it really sunk in to me that hey, no one's life will ever be the same. And then, it took the poem Meet me in the stairwell for it to really really hit. Boy, Satan plagued me with the worst nightmares anyone could have. As a young child, for some reason I allowed a door for Satan to plaque me with doubt about my mother's salvation. And I started having nightmares that my mom's soul was in one of the pilots bodies flying those planes into those places killing Innocent people. It was horrible. I finally got to someone I trusted and got it all figured out and I know for a doubt that my mom's in heaven. It took a lot of work and faith on my part but it's figured out in my heart now. No more doubt. And I tell Satan to go to hell where he belongs and to leave me alone. Thanks, Tammy from North Carolina.

Thank you for your wonderful thoughtful comment. It’s good to hear citizen from other country feel what I feel as an American watching this history.
There are many more than 2,977 souls who lost their lives due to the initial attack. The subsequent illnesses people contracted from the dust, the depression led suicides, the trauma and inability to recover... we lost thousands more in the aftermath. 20 years this year, and it feels like yesterday. What a horrendous day, and the pain is still there. It always will be.
True friend we still keep losing more everyday. I always knew ppl would get sick 🤢🤢 later in years cuz the stuff was in air
More than 2000 people have died from 9/11 related diseases due to the toxicity of the debris. More than 10k people diagnosed with cancer and the average age of a 9/11 first responder is now 55.
By 2030 the number of deaths are expected to double that of those that died in 2001
Born 9 days after the attacks, but I still get extremely emotional every year. I'll always remember my sister telling me for the first time about her 11th birthday on September 11th and how I just burst into tears after she told me. Every year, I feel like I can just feel the sorrow from everyone in this country, especially when I go back and watch the footage. RIP to all of the brave people who lost their lives that day. Even though I don't know anyone who passed that day, I will always respect each and every one of them.
All we can do is to empathise and never forget. Thank you for doing both, each and every year. God bless.

If you think your life is hard, just imagine the sheer agony these innocent victims felt on that utterly tragic day. I commend you for giving such a clear and concise tour of the premises so respectfully. I went here several years ago with my family and was genuinely moved to tears myself. God rest the souls of all the innocent victims who died.......
I visited the museum a few years ago. Inside, they have an audio recording of a dispatcher who's reading off a list of all responding units. It was an unending list, naming stations and precincts from every corner of the city and beyond it. The sheer number of units that responded to alarm calls was staggering. Most of them were lost when the towers fell. I broke down listening to her. It's still one of the most sobering moments I've experienced.

I'm from England and was only 10 on the day it happened - to me New York was just where Spider Man lived, but it still shook me to see it happening. I've heard it said that the millennium felt a lot like post-history, like we'd reached some kind of happy plateau with the horrors of the last century behind us. Unfortunately that day changed that and we've still not recovered. The entire world was stood right there with you, New York. Enormous love and hugs to everybody who suffered, to those lost and their loved ones.

No one spoke nor made eye contact, it was eerie and extremely sad. Never went back before I left NYC

I just realized that this museum is filled with an event that happened during my time. Every other museum I’ve visited had artifacts from decades or even centuries before me. It’s surreal to be able to say I was alive when this happened. Centuries and decades from now people will visit this museum and wonder what life was like the year 9/11 happened. I experienced it. It feels so strange to say.

Oh ok. Lucky
I wen't to new york when I was 12 and my family and I took us to the memorial, I remember sitting in the little cinema room at the start of the tour as they showed us a little video of 9/11 and for some reason being of that age I felt very little sadness as all I was thinking about was going to the top of the one world trade center on the really cool elevator. 6 years later after many history lessons in school I flew to new york and visited the memorial. I cried as I came to the crushed firetruck thinking of all those brave men who stormed the buildings with only one intention, to save lives. To that I salute everyone who died that day.
My brother was around 6-7 when 9/11 happened. We aren't American, but my mom worked in a newspaper. That was one of her days off. As they were watching TV, the news broke. After that she immediately got a call from the newspaper to go to work (she took care of the foreign stuff cause she spoke English). Later that day my brother said that he didn't get why everyone was making a big fuss out of that. "people die every day". Oh, such an innocent little boy he was. I wasn't even born till 2002, and even though we live in Bulgaria, every year it's mentioned that it happened on 9/11. So yeah, this is how my mum's day went. I'd like to visit that memorial one day, but yknow... It's on the other side of the world.

I felt that
@Luna - the screams were more likely from people in the building than on the plane

its unnerving to think that your stepping on the grounds which two large towers once stood, where ash, paper and metal flew down upon, where people fell to their deaths, exploding on the sidewalk, it just seems unnerving to think that your on those grounds where it happened

And visiting there you are walking on a ground where that stuff was

It is my goal to one day go to the 9/11 museum (alone). I have no connection to 9/11, but I still feel incredible compassion and love for the people who lost their lives that day and the families who continue to love and grieve them. It would be an honour to be able to stand on this ground and be present.
I wish I visited alone because my friends who went with me didn't want to explore the museum because they didn't want to feel sad. They waited for me on the concourse benches. The moment I couldn't hold my tears was seeing the toys of the children who perished on one of the flights.
@@babeudoo I wish I went inside. I was just in NYC about a month ago, and my friends would’ve rather scurry around the city aimlessly then to go in the museum. I really wanted to go in but felt rude to leave them and go alone.
Have you visited the Vietnam wall? How about the museum of the Titanic sinking? Been to Pearl Harbor? And that’s just Americans being wiped out. People die all the time. 9/11, while messed up, was just a weird excuse to become patriotic. Some religious nuts stole some planes, rammed them into some buildings, and killed around 4 thousand people. At the height of the pandemic, we were losing that many people DAILY.
People love to turn something sick and become morose about it. Personally, I think the memorial is a waste of space on a tiny island. Talk about letting the terrorist win.

David Merriman shut up man. Jesus show some respect
David Merriman My god man. We built this place to honor those who gave their lives to help those who couldn’t help themselves. This a sacred place to show how America has been scarred, but how we’ve risen from the ashes. What do you call the WW2 memorial or the Lincoln Monument? These places represent people who gave their lives to fight an evil organization, but it does honor those who were evil, it just represents those fought and did the good thing in face of pure evil. So no, I think having two holes in the ground is a very fitting thing to have compared to covering up those holes and pretending that it never happened. Also there happens to be a WTC right next to the ones you were just desecrating. Next time think about those who gave everything for scum like you to have their opinion.

DJx I think it’s totally okay for him to use the jokes. It’s a coping mechanism and he just wants to turn it into a good thing. I’m sure that’s what his father would want too. I still think it’s weird for people who aren’t affected by 9/11 to make jokes tho. They’re the ones being down right rude.
Toe You know that dark humour exists tho right? I'm not saying that I make 9/11 jokes or that I find them funny, but this happened almost 20 years ago. There's boundaries to everything tho and at some point jokes become outright disrespectful.
DJx he made a movie called the king of staten island. I wonder if that had anything to do with his dad and 9/11
With the 20th anniversary coming up my heart is heavy. Ever since I was young I was horrified by what those people had to encounter and what their last moments felt like. My mom and sister took a trip to NY w few years ago and while visiting the museum they said there wasn’t a single person in it that wasn’t crying. RIP to those who lost their lives. I hope you all have an eternity of peace for what you went through🤍
Thanks to our great comrade Biden, we will forget about who caused it ❤️ Be sleepy!!
@@Us3r739 al-quaeda caused it. They were supported by the Taliban. Most people agree that we should have pulled out. It was gonna be a mess. However what is conflicted is how messy the pull out was. We will still remember the perpetrators.
And the fact that we just left Afghanistan and are giving those terrorists the opportunity to rebuild is horrible. Biden is the devil in disguise and he has done nothing but divide and bring evil to our great nation. We can only pray that something is done soon to stop his never ending destruction of our once beautiful nation.
Jesus, can't belive this was almost 20 years ago, seems like yesterday I was coming home from school (UK) and watching this on the news in shock and horror. RIP to all the victims and heroes that died that day 🙏
Same here. I was 13. The news was streaming it live here in the UK as the second plane flew into building. I won’t forget. We can never forget.
MothproofKT time flies
i was 13 when it happened. got home from school and my mum told me. at the time i was too naieve to know the significance of what it meant but will never forget
yes m8 i came home from school too, my dad was watching it on the small tv in the dinning room , since that day when ever i look at the clock its always 911 am
I was 18 watching my country come under attack. This is history for younger folks, it was a life changing event for me. My world went from bright and hopeful, to a long grueling war.
When I went to this memorial and museum, I thought at one point my heart skipped a beat. I was beyond dumbfounded at how phenomenal of a job they did. It’s honestly better than some museums I’ve seen in Europe.
My mom’s co-worker at the time was good friends with Rahma Salie and her husband. They and their unborn baby were on their way to CA for a wedding of another friend. They were on Flight 11, the one that struck first and hit the North Tower. I often wonder how it must have felt to be a passenger on that flight, not knowing what was going to happen, but only that you were hijacked and that possibly someone had been killed. And then you see yourself flying just a little too low, a little too close to… and then you’re gone.
I wonder if any of them had time to realize they were going to hit that building before they did.
My sister's first grade teacher's husband was on flight 11 too and I wonder the same thing.
I bet they didn't know because the hijackers told them that they will just return to airport 🥺
They knew and it gave them the time to call their loved ones and make peace with it. Cant even imagine how those people felt.
@A L o i s i a 90 52 air marshalls ya only the pilots know who they are i think
I doubt they would have had time to realise,it all happened so fast 😢
I can't imagine thinking in my head and saying these words
"Jump to my death or burn to my death"
There was a documentary I watched years ago, can't remember the name but out of everything the one thing that has stuck with me most was when they interviewed a fire fighter he said "imagine how bad it must be up there that the better option is to jump"
It is common that during fire in some high buildings, block of flats etc trapped people tend to lean in windows. The fiercer the fire becomes, the more they prefer to stand on window frame, lean on it and ultimately jump if no option remains plus the shock effect. Even simple home fire can turn into over 500 degrees cauldron producing masses of hundreds degrees hot smoke. And the WTC fires? The phone calls of trapped people above the fire and survivors stories tell enough of the horrors..
I do understand jumping, and always pity such people. I had a dubious "pleasure" to experience just a real, small fire in confined space. The smoke was hot and pitch black, fortunately not that toxic or burning-hot; The breathing sensation was basically the same as trying to breathe with water - yes, I experienced the "pleasure" of drowning too. Basically I couldn't breath at all due to severe pain in throat and lungs. And again, that was only pathetic "big campfire" size of fire.
There are common, flammable materials which during burning produce masses of carbon monoxide. Very few breaths of such smoke turns people unconsious in seconds with moderate chance of surviving even with immediate medical help.
Then all kinds of burns.
Then seeing badly burnt people, and afaik in WTC there were many of those below and above the plane crash areas, barely surviving the initial fireball.
Nothing to envy for..
@@xplos1ve784 it is called “9/11 (A documentary by Gideon and Jules Naudet)”
@@xplos1ve784 I remember that documentary and the person who said that 🥺
What was sad about that day as I watched on TV people looking up and just watching the plane hit , everyone looked helpless. That day my heart left with them still 20 years later I still cry with a hurting heart. I'm still holding on to the calendar of 2001.
Imagine.
Working, signing paperwork... the you see a plane heading straight for the building you are in.. eventually the plane came to close, you see the plane crash through the window.. fire everywhere.. being flung out of your seat because of the force then being engulfed by the fire and smoke...
hearing silence.. seeing nothing but black... next thing you know your in Heaven
Id imagine it would be over pretty instantly (you might say fortunately) for those caught in the direct path of the planes.
that would be like so sick yo
You wouldn’t see the impact or hear it. The speed and force, you’d black out instantly. Merciful compared to being conscious for it. The horrors of that day will live with millions until their dying day.
MothproofKT
When I said “eventually the place came to close.. etc..” I meant for it that it happened all in 1 second so that it’s realistic
I know it happen 19 years ago but i swore to never visit the world trade centre ever again, I know for a fact no plane would ever crashed to it ever again but something in my nerve system is talk me out of it, i’ll stand close to it but heck naw i ain’t going inside,
Thank you for filming this. So humbling. From the ground that you're walking on where people jumped to their deaths to the fountains to the pieces of the World Trade Center, may we never forget this unnecessary loss of life.
You know, when I was a kid, I used to wait by the window waiting for my Dad to come home from work. And I don't know why I never thought about it before- I suppose being an adult the day 9/11 happened my mind thought other things about the day- but it occurred to be that there probably was a child waiting and waiting for a parent that never showed up. Even if said child knew what happened, they would still wait.
That’s heartbreaking. And not just kids, but parents, siblings, significant others, friends and other relatives, even pets of the victims.
The thought of those unknown children and pets waiting for a family member who will never come home from 9/11 breaks my heart.
May all the innocent people killed in this disaster Rest In Peace.
Every time I see anything about 9/11 I cry . My soul cries . I lived there when 9/11 happened. Been a New Yorker all my life. Until I moved out of state 2 years ago. I still feel that day. I. Remember everything that morning. Getting ready for work. I remember looking outside my apt, and thinking to myself wow what a beautiful Blue sky. That day the sky was perfectly clear no clouds at all.💝😢🙏🏼😃☹️
I lived through it too. It was a beautiful late summer morning. I'd just settled in at work in my office on the 42nd floor at the Paramount building, at 50th & Broadway. Someone who worked on the south-facing side came running screaming that she saw a plane hit the WTC. That was the end of normal. A neighbor died there, another one survived because his train was delayed so he wasn't in the city yet; everyone else in his office perished. 18 years later, the wound is still raw.
Thank you for sharing this video. We cannot ever afford to forget.
Christina Roman-Velez I can’t remember much from that day but I remember my grandma telling my brothers and I to pray because my mom worked close to the buildings. And I can’t express how grateful I am that she came home. My heart is heavy from all of the suffering and pain the families of the victims are feeling, but I know they are smiling down on us and are happy that we honor their memories.
I can’t imagine what it would feel like to see it in person. I was 18 years old when this happened. Every time like watching it live every time I get goosebumps. I know I can’t go in the museum or I can’t find the words on what to call it.

@Ann Fitzgerald Gosh, you're all over the place with your ignorant opinion, aren't you?
I went there when I was in New York City. Im born on 9/11 and so is my brother but we're not twins, we were born on the same day 6 years apart. Every year on my birthday I reflect on that day and I always look through the newspaper I have from that day in 2001. I will never forget about that day.
We went to NYC in 2004 and decided to visit 'ground zero' ...it's really quite hard to convey how it feels when you're there (If you've not been there) It's obviously extemelly sad but the atmosphere there feels very *heavy* and so, so strange and something I'll never forget. I had absolutely no connection to anyone involved but I felt very emotional whilst in the area. I think you managed to cover this sensitive topic very well Shawn, with a lot of tact, class and respect...just my opinion.
I felt heavy too, but I didn't go into the museum. You can feel the presence of people who have died. That's the second time i've felt that way. The first was in the Holocaust Museum in DC
I was there a little less than a year after 9/11 and it was one of the most emotional moments of my life. Just looking out over ground zero.. I will never, ever forget that moment. This video was beautifully done. Very, very respectful.
i went in as well but just touching the walls of the names is just heart breaking. it feels so upsetting and heavy.
same here I went here since 2016 for my final school trip the atmosphere is heavy when I went there sorrow and pain they suffer
What's For Tea? True. It’s even worse if you remember what the city was like before that day.
I went there and I cried when I saw the vacant fire trucks boarded up because all of the firefighters lost their lives trying to save others.
R.I.P to all that sadly lost there lives, on this horrible day Amen.
Amen
Amen
Amen🙏
I was 23 when this happened. I was a 1st year app in my union. It was actually my first week of work. In 20 + years i never really returned to ground zero. Until i was working down the block at trinity church. I went to the memorial at lunch one day. I got 100 yards from the site and could feel its sad grieving energy. I was barely 50 yards from it and i started to become overwhelmed with emotion. Its amazing how heavy that energy really is. Needless to say i went back to work and never went into the memorial. Thanks for the video.
I was there, on 6th ave and 10th street in Greenwich village having coffee at my uncle's apartment, we walked to 6th ave and watched the 2nd plane hit and both towers fall, I'll never forget
did it feel like u were in a dream
This might sound stupid but when I visited the museum I saw a paper that said “Lost person: Fabian Soto...” and I just stood there for a moment and couldn’t believe that his name was so similar to mine which is Fabiana Soto and I was born 2 years after the attacks (2003) it just seemed so odd!
Fabiana Rocío living a second life
I've read that when we reincarnate, our new name can resemble our old name in sound, cadence, syllable or other similarities. Just my thought and 2¢ which isn't worth much. Peace!
Joseph Dockemeyer that two cents is worth a hundred dollars.
Fabiana Rocío me too ..the first name we saw that’s names on the Fontaine was...Kelly... and our name us Kelly as well..very strange
Ann Fitzgerald literally are you that stupid lol
And the initial comment had absolutely nothing to do with Jews, yet you had to make an innocent comment anti Semitic. Jews died in the attacks too, wake up to yourself, fitzy.
My mom remembers driving to work that day and hearing it on the news. She said many cars stopped to the side of the road to listen. When she got to work, she said nothing was right, everything felt wrong.
I haven't been back to NY since 1980 when I was there for a weeks' holiday with my grandmother. I was 14 at the time and really, the only thing I wanted to see was the World Trade Center towers. I still have all the photos I took, both from ground level and on the observation deck, overlooking the South Tower and the antennas, as well as the ticket for admittance to the observation deck. I was home recovering from herniated disc surgery on 9/11 and spent the entire day watching the horror unfold. After watching your video, I doubt I could handle seeing it all in person. It's still difficult to reconcile that it's gone and all those people are gone as well, in such a horribly tragic event that still makes me sad 22 years later. Thank you for the walk-thru and for showing such respect. We will never forget.
I’ve been there when I was in grade 5 with my mom and when she saw my uncles name on that she started to cry he was in the north tower we took two hours just to find it
I’m so truly sorry for your family’s loss. Love from England
May I have his name too fact check this?
@@tuxedosteve9556 His uncle was flying one of the planes.
Eyelessend so many people lie about this. It is sad and pathetic. If they were telling the truth they would give his name. Sometimes they give a name and guess what”it’s not true”!. Have some common sense and piss off!
the four people that dis-liked this video, don't you have a heart, Shawn made this video in very respectful way and it reminds us all that life is precious and not to take it for granted. well done Shawn
Thanks for your kind words
Ditto Shawn! Great Job! Thanks!
Wiz Kid probably conspiracy theorists 🙄🙄
It could also mean that they’re mad that it happened,I don’t know sometimes my friends do that...🤷♀️
240 now ☹️
I’m from the UK and I was 4 years old when this happened. We had a box TV in our kitchen and I remember seeing two buildings on the screen, one of them was on fire and everyone standing around looking at the TV in tears. It wasn’t until several years later we were taught about 9/11 in our history classes in primary school and that same day when I asked my father about what he remembered from 9/11 he recalled the exact event above. Our family standing around the TV and some of them in tears. This pretty much means that I was able to partially recall an event from exactly 20 years ago. I am now 24 years old
You perfectly described how I saw it on tv too. I'm 25 and in the UK I remember being a kid and having a box tv on top of the fridge in the kitchen and I was confused, and didn't understand the gravity of the situation. My mum had the channel on that for hours and watched it unfold. Only till primary school I was educated about it what happened.
In also 24 it was in my mums radio in the car when she was picking me up from reception I’ll never forget x
I was 1 year old baby
I live in east tennessee and there is a small park located in an area that is very rural and seldom visited. We were camping nearby once and we stumbled upon this park so we stopped. There in the middle of this space is a girder from 911. I couldn't believe my eyes. I stood there and cried and cried as the grief and magnitude hit me so deep. I will never forget that day, never. I can't imagine being at the memorial, I don't think my heart could stand up to the pain of what I would see and sense.
When I went to the 9/11 site, there was an eerie quiet, like I couldnt speak even if I wanted to. Yet calm....💔
Yes it was. I didn’t know what to say.
Same feeling I had when I visited Auschwitz.
TeeJay’s Life very true I had the same feeling very emotional, I’m taking my mom in March! Idk how I’ll do to again I’m already teary eye.
This Brings chills to my skin. Rip to all those who lost there lives in this tragedy.
Just imagine you being in there
You are working minding your buisness, you and everyone else hear a loud boom and next thing you know the fire alarms on there’s smoke everywhere you run out then build and see the second tower get hit, you run to get shelter and watch as they fall and you see everything disappear in all that dust and smoke
This is a sad event I cry when I see it
I still pray for them
It's heartbreaking and makes my stomach drop. These people had plans after work. These people had fights with their significant others that will never be resolved. These people were engaged, expecting their first child, excited to see their child graduate in December and in the spring. People launching their careers and experiencing their first internships. These were people that had plans for retirement. These were your average everyday people that never wanted to be part of a tragic page in history. May they all rest in peace, and may their families find peace.
I couldn't even imagine being at my desk and seeing a plane coming for my window
Neurology Love your comment made me cry so true so tragic
My bf lost his whole family that day
@@neurologylove2135 I know plans for getting a beer or going to birthday party etc. Kissing your significant other goodbye NEVER imaging the heartbreak that's coming that day. I still get tears and have a difficult time watching any of the news coverage, or looking at the newspapers I have from that day.
I was just a boy when 9/11 happened and I remember leaving school early because some fellows had family living in NYC by then. I remember watching the whole thing on the TV and up to this day, 9/11 still makes me feel sad and shocked. Infinite love and compassion to all those who perished and their families, may you all be able to overcome this dreadful day and event soon and find peace and happiness 🙏🏻
