I remember my mom worked 5 blocks away from the towers. She was going through divorce with my dad. My dad was already living outside my home. I was at my school and my dad went pass school officials and told me to get my shit we are leaving. My teacher looked at him in shock. Picked my bookbag and started running with my dad to his car. Then he was speeding towards my cousin's school. Mind you my pops didn't know English. We get to my cousins school. Luckily when we get there we see my cousins in a line ready to enter his school. Big cousin recognized us and we started running to my dad's car. My dad drives us both to my aunt's house. He drops us off at my auntie's house. When we get to my aunt's house. I'll never forget at the door what my dad told my aunt. Even though he was going through divorce. He told my aunt that he needed to get my mom even though he had to run through the Brooklyn bridge. 4 to 5 hours later. He pulls up and drops my mom off safely. Me and my dad don't have the best relationship. But that day I learned the importance of fathers protecting their families.
@@yeabih5607 at the time yes. I remember the news before or leading up to the attack. Months prior everything was Taliban this Taliban that. You see two towers get blown airplane taken over by a group. You are in the capital of the world. The world most biggest target 🎯. You don't know if mass shootings proceed. Or all out warfare. You just don't know. Ask Pearl Harbor. My dad did what any concerned parent would 🤷🏾♂️
One thing i learned from 9/11 and other emergency situations is when in doubt run for your life. Id rather die while trying to get away than be a sitting duck.
@@rulesforrebels right. As a kid in school, we were told to leave a building in the event of a fire/ drill. I dont see how they thought firefighters would get to all those ppl in a feasible amount of time.
Twenty-two years later and I'm still compelled to watch/read/hear stories from that horrible day. God bless everyone who was affected in any way on 9/11/01.
I'm not American but I remember that day like it was yesterday, yet I've heard crazy people in the US say the govt did it on purpose, not bin laden. Unbelievable disrespect to the people in and around those buildings that awful day and all those who lost their lives. RIP.
@@ksc743 Bless you.. & Thank you. Yes- Them conspiracy theorists are not only annoying & ridiculous, but very insulting. I'm not sure if they really believe their own horseshit, but they crave the attention they never got in their empty lives
@@bhall4996 yes, truly empty lives. Lack of education too. I find it difficult to believe they spread that kind of rubbish after such an horrific, life-changing event for Americans.
@@ksc743 there are plenty of awful conspiracy theories around the event but there is also a lot of unexplained and suspicious activity around the event. Just the unusual stock market activity was enough to warrant investigations from multiple nations.
@@ksc743 yes I agree it took years of planning and many people were involved and towers fell when the plane hijacked by Islamist terrorists flew into them. But there were very legitimate reports of unusual amounts of money being moved around right before the attacks, especially in the flight industry. If that’s a crazy conspiracy then I guess the governments of Germany and other major nations are just crazy conspiracy nuts because that’s who led the investigations. This suggests that the secret plan wasn’t exclusive to only the thirteen or so high jackers. Also, there were plans to high jack more than just the three planes that were successfully high jacked that day so there are still people out here who went to airports that morning with the intention of high jacking a plane but were unsuccessful for whatever reason.
My cousin was in the towers. She told me that she used to say good morning & chat with a security guard each morning before heading to work at her bank. When she finally made it out, she saw the torso of a body but nothing else was recognizable or even there. She then said she saw the name on the shirt & realized it was him. After hearing that, I finally realized fully what these people went through on that day. Absolute horror. 😢
my uncle Vernon Cherry(RIP) went "Home" during the rescue efforts. He was an FDNY Ladder 118. The building collapsed on him and others. He was a great one. Great singer too. Ask the guys he worked with. (Vulcan Society)
Idky but that pisses me tf off so bad to where I simply have to just change it. Nore does that on drink champs so bad to we’re I’m even shocked that they still have a podcast. It’s super annoying and aggravating. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😡😡
AS Budden has said he takes his cue and style from Joe Rogan, and to some degree Lex Fridman who also let their guests do most of the talking. In contrast mainstream media like CNN MSNBC etc interviewers think they are the experts and keep trying to steer toward their outlets partisan views
He did more than describe falling 22 stories..... the entire interview put me right there with him.... I'm a very visual person, so I could see and feel the entire scene he told 😔😔...
You all are dumb, and to the one who isn't dumb and instead asked the question of how he survived, he jumped up in the elevator at the third to second floor when it crashed, it likely injured him still but the impact would of been lessened to a degree, I agree he didn't describe it very well -Jack is just hateful idk, I mean me, I'm Jack in this case, the other Jack is cool I bet but idk, I Am Jack Kosminski
You may think you know what he is feeling like but trust me, you and him have two completely different feelings. You are just using your imagination to actually “ Feel” But it is way different when it is first hand experience. It is not even the same. Don’t put yourself in the same category as this man.
I was working on the 71st floor that day. Just like that man said, we were told to stay put so we wouldn’t get on the way of the firefighters. I remember I got up, and grabbed my stuff and said im leaving and my supervisor immediately yelled out at my name and said “you’re not going anywhere. You’re staying like the rest of us.” And then proceeded to tell everyone at the office anyone who walked out that door would face serious consequences. I looked at her and said “So fire me, I’m leaving regardless. Something is not right.” And left… I made it out just in time. My coworkers were messaging me to come back that the supervisor kept saying she would make sure I wouldn’t come back. I told my coworkers this is a terroristic attack and begged them to get out. 2 of my friends listened to me and were on their way to leave. But it was too late for them… no one from the office made it.. No one. This memories and to know I was the only one who made it still haunts me to this day..
I'm so sorry you lost so many friends that day. There must be a very special reason why you survived . . . maybe just to keep your coworkers memories alive. It must haunt you every day.💔
I’m so sorry for the loss of your friends and everyone who passed away in the tragedy. I’m really really happy that you listened to your intuition and chose to do that brave thing. Sending so much love to you❤
She’s extremely lucky her husband came home for real. I live in ny and can still remember being younger and watching my mom crying on the phone with her friend. Her husband was a fireman and she hadn’t heard from him and no one could find him. I can literally remember my mom just repeating “he’s gonna come home, they’re gonna find him.” And he was found crushed under the buildings. Even thinking about it now makes me so incredibly sad. He’s really really lucky
For those disappointed that it ended so abruptly, I discovered there is another video that is a continuation of his story, and how he was rescued. It's called "Incredible story of being rescued from WTC on 9/11" 😊
The man conducting this interview is the best I've ever watched. Asks short, simple questions and then lets the person fully answer without interrupting.
@@cyberleaderandy1no he doesn’t. The survivor is setting the scene for a good story and the interviewer says “ so you were going to work” as though he is bewildered why the survivor is being descriptive about escalators. I’ve got 10 more examples of awful interviewing.
Dad had a standing 9am meeting on one of the top floors. That day was the first time it was ever moved to 10am. He was walking to the building instead of in it just by that one twist of fate. His company had floors 93-101 and lost 295 people instantly.
@@Blueslyfox I was guessing the name of his dad’s firm; Marsh-McLennan was a tenant on some of the floors he mentioned, and they lost a lot of ppl…but after looking it up it seems every last employee of theirs was killed, so I’m prob wrong
@@jesusgonzalez-acton8045 He's likely referring to Marsh McLennan, and it isn't true that "every last employee of Marsh McLennan died that day". Marsh McLennan suffered a horrible loss on 9/11 --- about 300 of their employees in the Manhattan office tragically perished that morning, as they were on high floors of the WTC and had no way to escape. But many of the employees hadn't arrived yet, and many others were out of the office at meetings and appointments; those weren't killed. Neither were the tens of thousands of Marsh McLennan employees who worked in other offices in other cities. Marsh McLennan is still a viable, functioning company, but it was difficult for them to adjust to losing 300 members of their 85,000-person workforce in a single morning.
I was 10 years old, 5th grade. One of the staff comes running into the room yelling about how WTC and the White House had been blown up. Obviously, her info was somewhat off. But what really scared me was that here in Baltimore we also have a WTC. 10 year old me immediately thought the danger was close to home.
Imagine hearing and feeling the shaking of 60 floors falling above you... You look up at the people you worked with for 20+ years and then, in an instant, all of them are gone. You think you're dead, but you're one of the very few that aren't. Oooh that's gotta weigh heavy.
You can hear a recording of the a gentleman talking to an operator he was at the very top listen at your own risk its very tragic i have came out of building a few times your head has to be vertical to see the top my dad and sister been to the top amazing pic the first time they tried i was coming back from hunts point headed back to flatbush and they kept rerouting us i can clearly see that day in 93 it was cold snow was falling and there was no car's no people on the street's Are government is crooked if you haven't seen or heard about the man in the red bandana please watch this documentary
@@drewbonsall384 Yes, you can actually hear the rumbling of the floors coming down as he is saying “Oh God,” then the call disconnects. He told the operator he was only 45 and didn’t want to die. I can’t imagine how horrible the memory of that conversation is to that operator. Not being able to help anybody…
@@wildestcowboy2668 His name was Welles Crowther. He worked in WTC 2 on the 104th floor, and was also a volunteer firefighter. He saved the lives of many people that day, guiding them off several of the upper floors of the tower. Very sadly, he lost his own life that day. His body was eventually recovered six months later in what had been the lobby of tower 2, along with a group of firefighters and other emergency personnel. He was 24 years old. 🙏♥️
@@margob6203 That's so sad twenty freaking 4 was a kid. Hopefully he is resting now until JD. That fact that he helped all those people show he was a hero. Rip brotha
I’ve rarely seen as such an intense interview. Pasquale is obviously an amazing individual. The interviewer was SO empathic and both inquisitive but also so respectful. Wow. He needs to be publicized more.
@Dama Doms That statement is very true. I still live in New York and lived there during that time. There was a news article about all the people that missed that one E train. In an interview the motorman that drove the train was an employee that never took sick or a day off for 19 years, and he also called sick that day. So being late saved them. It was very powerful to hear their testimony. One woman said she missed that train bc she had to stop and buy pantyhose, another missed that same train bc they stopped to get coffee, etc.
I happened to catch the E Train to the World Trade Center station early that day. If I was on time or a little late, I’m dead! Thankful! I’ve been running early ever since. He was late. I was early. We both survived. It’s hard to explain it.
Why didn't we hear Pssquale's entire story. It is miraculous. His is a story that he lived. What a blessing God gave him that day. He lived when so many others died.
@@G2MEDIAFACTS huh? Did you read the comment I was replying to? They said God saved him that day. I’m asking why God let so many people die. The only people I blame are the people who caused it. People!
It’s more than 20 years since that day, I’m 48 years old and I still can’t watch 9-11 videos without tears in my eyes. I feel so bad for those who died
I'm the same age as you are, and my emotions are identical. It is like reliving the terror of watching it all unfold and feeling desperate and overwhelming empathy for the people caught up in the reality of it happening directly to them. It's a logically incomprehensible set of emotions. I live in the UK and can remember coming home from work, turning on the TV , oblivious to what was happening, and questioning what they were playing on TV, thinking it was some kind of film, then realizing it was happening at that moment to all those thousands of people. It is a shock you can never quite put into words or your brain fully process or understand...and intensely overwhelming feeling of sorrow for all those experiencing it and thinking they were about to die. It was and still is horrific.
@@punkjake no one is trying to deny that fact. Ofcourse thousands lost their lives in those towers and Ofcourse hundred of thousands lost their lives in the endless wars we got involved with after 9/11. So our jobs as individuals is to ask questions and educate ourselves about what happened exactly that day. Every single family got effected in the US Or overseas need justice and closure to what happened.. Why 20,000 experts from the US signed a petition to reinvestigate what happened on that day. Why there is tens if not hundreds of questions left with no answers about what happened that day?
This is great but this guy has been interviewed a lot lol... Our people just don't research a lot ... It's not gossip so it doesn't get any play.... It's tons of interviews with survivors all over RUclips, for 10 + years lol
I wish I was like this man, still being able to think clearly under a situation of great stress. The way he talked to his wife and asked her to describe where the building was hit is so intelligent, I mean he truly acted rationally and that saved his life
WHAT? Him staying there and calling his wife is what should’ve gotten him killed. If was by sheer blind luck he survived a 22 story fall. If he acted rationally and left right away he wouldn’t have needed to survive that fall
Yeah, but its not like he had any idea what was going on. He thought it was a fire on one floor at first. He should have left after, but like he said they didn't want to block fire fighters, were told to stay by security, and everything seemed calm around them on their floor. A good lesson from this is that even if it seems okay for the moment get out at the earliest possibility because that calm may not last. But there is no rationality that he really lacked, instead he just didn't know how severe it was until they saw the problems start to show up, and then they tried to leave.
He is lucky he is still alive due to his irrational thoughts. You should never go up, in an elevator no less rather than down. As someone who is a structural specialist should know this. Who knows how we would react, but even his wife has the sense to tell him to get out. And making sure you bring your briefcase? Smh
Absolutely horrific for all involved. Falling 22 storeys is something that should kill or permanently injure someone but he’s physically fine. Amazing. I’m sure there are many untold stories out there still, and even after all these years it’s good to hear stories from those who got out alive. Bless him
@@ashleyc8373is that that girl that was sucked out of a plane with her seat? And the one thing that saved her was her still being strapped to her seat? An she ended up by a creek and caught in a tree
I was a rookie with the NYPD. We were all ordered in that morning because the academy had an A squad and B squad which we flip flopped days 4X12s. As a 22 year old I grew up very quick with what we saw down there. What sucks is how many continue to become sick with serious ailments from what we all inhaled while down there. Great job with this interview.
Thank you for your selfless service at a time when you were needed most. That's the very definition of courage to put others before yourself in such dire conditions. ❤️
People like John Stewart fought for you guys to get the help you need. The cancers and health effects from the dust are no joke and heros are dropping dead left and right because of it, many having no money to pay for the surgery and medical expenses. They said to never forget but we forget about he people that risked their life to help others that day
@@christianterrill3503 yes, Jon Stewart is a good man. Because of his fight we are all covered for our lifetime. I hope most of us never have to use the benefits, but def important for them to be available from what we were breathing in down there.
Haha said absolutely no one about Joe Budden before now! I was surprised to see him doing this interview and happy to see he wasn't his same old self for it.
This gave me chills. I was working in Secaucus, NJ, in a big glass building right across the river when this happened. While driving to work, I saw the buildings on fire. A friend of mine worked in one of the towers. Thankfully, he got to work late that day and had just entered the lobby when the plane hit and immediately ran out. Unfortunately, he had to witness people jumping and had a hard time getting any transportation out of the city. I worked on the 10th floor in Secaucus and we had huge windows. I can remember looking out of our conference room window and witnessing the buildings collapse IRL and in real time and my heart sank. I've never felt so helpless and so sad. It will be forever ingrained in my memory.
Your experience was traumatic 🙏 PTSD-worthy. I saw it from my roof in Astoria after hearing the news, but we were not that close. What a nightmare the weeks after were😢
Wow how heart breaking to watch that from a distance. It's crazy to hear survivors different views and stories from that horrible day in history. I was in high school still so I was clueless what happened until next period when my history teacher turned on the TV to watch the coverage of what was happening in real time. I remember my teacher wiping tears watching. All television production stopped for few days after that and nothing but news coverage was shown. I wish this day never happened and hope nothing like this ever happens again
Wow. You saw the fire from the bomb they planted. They try to say the 737's melted. Nope. Just like they couldn't find the plane that supposedly hit the pentagon. Another bomb. Notjing like a good halogram to fool ppl.
@@henrygarza3145 They didn't go to hell, so it was their fault they couldn't breathe from the thick smoke because an idiot flew a plane into the building.
I remember being in kindergarten in Brooklyn seeing fear on my teachers faces brought me to panic they brought us all the the auditorium and made us sit in the dark until our parents came to pick us up; my mother and I ran home everyone was panicking in the streets freaking out everyone was panicking and crying and my mom brought me home... we lived on top of an apartment building I could see the tower smoking from my window... Such a vivid memory.
This is the vital importance of intuition. All the people who called in sick, decided to go home or left immediately once the first tower was hit survived. Everyone who listened to their boss, authorities or the news to just stay inside didn't. It's really sad and interesting at the same time to hear this in peoples stories.
Every time that I am being delayed, whether traffic, someone in line in front of me going slow, I remind myself of those people who missed their bus, or stopped for something that made them late to work at the twin towers and saved their lives.
...this also applies to what happened the past 2 years. Many of those who listened to authorities and billionaires who profited from a certain "treatment" are today either dead or struggling with myocarditis, blood cloths, cancer, heart attacks etc. I am the only one in my family who didn't take it because I listened to my intuition, while the rest of my family all have health problems now that they didn't have before they took the so-called treatment that science now has shown to not be as affective as natural immunity, and other studies have shown that it increases the risk of all the conditions I mentioned earlier. Statistics backs this up too. I have always been the most intuitive, and at times even psychic (dreaming of things before they happen etc), in my family, and have been ridiculed for it many times. And now I am the healthiest in our family, while some of them have had to admit that it was a bit telling that their blood cloths happened 1-2 weeks after their 2nd jab... I am extremely grateful for my strong intuition!
Yeah, I remember a man's story, I don't recall his name. He was in the South Tower and when the North Tower was hit his first instinct was to get out of the building and made it to the lobby but his co-workers and the announcements convinced him to go back up to his office. He was in his office when he saw the second plane headed towards his building. Part of the plane impacted his floor and didn't kill him but he was trapped, he started screaming for help and another man who was going down the stairs heard him and got him out and they both got out of the building seconds before it collapsed.
@@Kaine1111 they did jfk so idk why people are suprised when people say the same about 9/11 like they didn’t benefit off the peoples pride to go to war and even if it was needed doesnt justify the deaths of thousands of innocent people
The floors collapsing part got me I couldn’t imagine what the people above had to go through in their final seconds I hope they didn’t suffer I hope they at peace they didn’t deserve this 💔
Wow! I cant even imagine being present in that moment. I know the trauma from that day is so real. Prayers to this man and everyone who survived this tragedy! 😔
I’ll never get over having to run my black ass into the nearest building when the first tower collapsed.. I looked like Casper with all the ash that was on my entire body.. when I sit and think how lucky I was to make it home that day.. damn
I worked second shift but still got up early in the morning, saw this as it happened and was all alone. I knew those people up at the top had to get out of there. Heartbreaking to stand there and feel so helpless for these people. I cried the entire week. It was very hard to work after that for a long while. I called my family and said I love you.
That is absolutely awful. I am so sorry. Survivor Guilt is a terrible thing. I'm so glad you were not on shift. Sending you love from Australia. I still remember every TV channel we had stopping & running nothing but that footage, eventually blurring the ppl jumping out the windows. If it still haunts me, by god it must be terrible for you. My heart goes out to you.🐨❤️
@@JHjh88 Imagine the people who let this happen just for an excuse to take away our rights, start a war, make money off oil, and commit insurance fraud. Remember the kids chanting "kite must hit steel" while president Bush just sat there...
From how this survivor told this story I had an absolute visceral reaction to it, as if I was there with him. I'm so happy that you survived, you are obviously deeply loved. May you have peace the rest of your days. 🙏❤️
Oh man, that adds a whole new level of sad to this. Ontop of losing the bravest firefighters, you also lose people who didn't evacuate right away because they didn't want to inhibit rescue operations.
I was in high school too it was a half day so we were in lunch and they wheeled like 4 tvs in for everyone to watch, unbeknownst to us, the second plane hit the towers live. Crazy day to say the least.
I remind the day vividly. I was in my Statics class as a sophomore in high school. They told our city for all the students to go home because we were unsure if any of the planes could still crash down on people.
I remember that day vividly I was in Elementary School at the time. I remember a Teacher who had a free period at the time came in and told us what happened. Then our parents or guardians picked us up an hour or two later. To actually hear from someone who was at the World Trade when it happened and experienced it first hand is wild.
It was my first week of Hs. I am from north New Jersey and had people in my class who had parents there. I specifically remember not getting picked up at school.
@@WHENWEGONEWIN that's what they call him on all the TV series n Documentaries they have done about 9/11. It's no disrespect. Crazy how he survived though.
My family was more fortunate than most that day and I’m sorry for all the families who lost someone. But my father had a meeting in tower 2 at 830am and his train was due in around 7. His company I think was called Compaq and they began firing people in late summer 2001 (my dad worked for Digital Equipment in the 80s and 90s and they were purchase by Compaq) 2 weeks before 9/11 all of the higher ups and top salesman were suppose to be going to New York for a huge meeting but something within the company changed rapidly and my dad was told to not come. 9 of his friends however did go and all subsequently died. HP (Hewlett-Packard) apparently was in talks to purchase Compaq at the time and later finalized the deal in i think early 2002. My dads jobs were stressful during the tech boom in 98-2005 because he kept getting jobs then the companies would be acquired and they’d let everyone go. But this one saved his life
I’ve worked many security jobs at different hotels, areas, and industries. You don’t know how many times they tell us in the case of an evacuation: to let EVERYONE leave and never hold anyone back from their choice if they feel they have to leave because of this incident. So many people were listening to their gut instinct, and we’re reassured. So many lives could’ve been saved.
Don't forget this was a 110 storey building with only narrow stairwells, and they never believed it would collapse, so giving firemen first priority especially if incident is on much higher floor would seem the prudent course of action, most workers in floors below impact sites did manage to evacuate in time, many when firemen reached their floors and told them to get out of building, but equally many chose to ignore the "the building is safe, go back to your desks"message that was played repeatedly over towers PA systems.
This is it right here bro...I served overseas because of this..will never forget 9/11 that day..I was in Philly.. center city...never saw the city so empty that day....r.i.p. to all of the victims
Thank you for your service and bravery. To any edgelords who spout their theories to veterans like u putting them on, u might be eligible for a lead check. Read the room.
@@user-lg3rx2ko5g Sorry the truth scares you big dog. 9-11 isn't anyone's own personal tragedy and my family is full of veterans who served for the exact same reason he did and theyll tell you the exact same thing these "edgelords" are. Which is funny coming from a guy talking about 'lead checks'
@@user-lg3rx2ko5g I don’t think 9/11 conspiracies are edgelords. The majority of America believes it’s an inside job so does most of the rest of the world
Went to New York about two weeks after 9/11. The people were still in shock. I am a psychologist and everywhere we went people needed to talk. They just had to process what had happened to them. I listened. On the way was a psychiatrist who had his therapy dog with him. Emma was her name. Her job was to calm the people who had lived through that tragedy .
that day created a massive amount of trauma in new yorkers, and I think to many americans as well. I like in nyc, we all had ptsd for years. I just now am able to watch anything about 9/11 without horror or strong emotional pain. I have not been back downtown to that area but watching these gives me a new desire to back to the area. I cant imagine the horror this man lived with, he is very strong.
I'll never forget this day.... I was 22 years old and I remember watching the second plane hit and the towers falling. I was at work and I came home and my mom just grabbed me and hugged me while she was sobbing.. we were both a mess that whole day. RIP to everyone who lost their life that sad day. 😢
Twenty plus years later and I still cry when I hear this gentleman tell his story. I guess we’ll never stop grieving about what happened. I KNOW we’ll never forget.
I was once in an elevator when something like this happened, and every one of us in there, instantly and instinctively had an overwhelming urge to get to the ground and away from the building. I remember that feeling ... it was incredibly powerful. An animal instinct to get to the earth and run. I cannot fathom a desire to go the other way. It's against every possible instinct.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the elevator he was in didn't go any lower. Going up or exiting on the smoke filled floor then find the stairwell in amongst all the chaos to be able to go down were his only options
He couldn't go down with the elevator he was in already, that was the problem. He had to choose between going blindly through the smoke and finding the return elevator, or going back into the elevator he had come out of and getting as far away from the fire as possible. In that situation, I can see why you would choose to go up.
Terrifying. It’s a miracle he survived. Rest In Peace to all those who didn’t make it. A song came to mind recently, “Believe” by Yellowcard. I didn’t realize it at first, but it’s a tribute to all the firefighters and first responders who lost their lives that day to save another. Very touching.
@Hoxaye L I was 12 living in CT. We lived 2 miles from Sikorsky helicopter factory who makes black hawks and state police at the time thought that could be a potential target. No one knew what was happening. No planes took off after that. One thing I remember was the skies were the bluest I have ever seen that day.
They can't. It's highly likely that he had lost situational awareness and didn't realize he was lower than he thought he was. Almost no one survives a fall from even 80 feet (very few documented cases). 260 feet would not be survivable. That doesn't mean he's lying. It means he was on a lower floor than he thought he was and wasn't aware of it.
@@ko7577No, it's not impossible. People have survived a parachute failure and airplane crashes. It's pure luck. Chance and decisions you make. Those other 2 women would've been pulverised to dust, because they made a bad decision.
Joe really has the opportunity to have a massive show here. He has a great eye for interesting guests you wouldn’t normally hear from and is a great interviewer. Both this and the navy seal guy had me hooked
Might be irrelevant but why would you not want to show the person that your interviewing in your thumbnail? I mean it’s basic common sense to include that person? It just makes it look like he’s the one being interviewed like I low key for thought that he was the one that fell lmao.
@@metalrockstarizer89 a/B testing in marketing. To see which thumbnail gets the most views. Also he has another thumbnail for the full 1 hour interview showing the both of them.
I think he's a phenomenal interviewer! Way better than so many of the mainstream people. He's not just intelligent, but real. At times I don't agree with a few things he says, but I respect him highly because he seems to really want to understand the "whys" of people instead of just getting info for a show.
We need all the stories. I was never satisfied by how this was handled. Stories of anyone who was there is a cannon and needs to be told. This event was the tipping point of our lives.
After all these years after 9/11 still brings me to tears and rebreaks my heart every time. I wrote a paper about the falling man in high school, I cried for a week because I was so devastated by all the research I had done. Every night when I closed my eyes I saw him. That man has NEVER left my mind after all these years, and it never will.
9/11 happened 1000 miles from my house, but you'd never know it by the way my city reacted that day. That day we were all New Yorkers. I seriously think the nation has PTSD over that incident. I definitely do. I cannot stop watching things about that day. It is forever burned into my mind. I have lived in 2 Americas. The one before 9/11....and the one after.
I was in Johannesburg, South Africa. 🇿🇦 The televisions at Stuttafords in Eastgate shopping mall were broadcasting the news of the explosion in the first tower. While I was watching, the second plane hurtled through the other tower. I was numb with shock and then experienced a wave of terror. World history changed in front of my eyes.
I heard of this story about a 9/11 survivor that rode 22 floors down and survived. I always wanted to learn more about this amazing story but was never able to until now. Thanks for bringing people like this on your show, this story needs to be heard, he's one of the few or only one that survived 9/11 while inside the towers when they were coming down.
Didn’t he say he laid on like a chunk of concrete held together by rebar. I’m imagining a concrete flying carpet kind of deal where the debri was so much it’s preventing him from free falling, but just rides the concrete block down 22 floors, now that is amazing. The odds , guess that’s why he is the only one with this story. It’s just insane
I was 12years old in middle school when this ish happen. Teachers start crying kids parents start coming to get them. School was almost empty. No body really told me what happen, I seriously thought it was a movie but I was like why they keep playing it over and over. I always wanted to hear the story of survivors.
Yea pretty much same here only i was a freshman in high school in West Virginia . But to reflect on the impact the country felt : we weren’t remotely close to New York City and parents were bailing kids out of school that day . I went to school with 1,200 students and it was almost cleared out that day. Parents thought the entire country was under attack
I lived near dc and even there it was crazy....I was 8 and one of the last kids to be picked up from school....parents were running in the school to get their kids, no sign outs either smh I will never forget
Yes! I was in social studies class in the 7th grade and I saw clouds of smoke out the window and said “Look” everybody ran to the window to see and we were talking amongst ourselves saying it was a fire but our teachers face looked horrified. I remember everyone was being called to go home. My school was in Brooklyn but we were right across the bridge so alot of parents worked in lower Manhattan. So many people were crying. I was so confused. It was crazy
Agreed. This should have never happened. Never. We can't do anything to bring the victims back. Trust in God to resurrect the victims and give justice to the victims, and punish the wicked.
I had a nightmare the night before as a kid and begged my mom to let me stay home from school. I remember watching the news crying all day with my family. Our generation will never forget. 💔
I was 8 too smh, it was Saturday when I found out about it, I literally woke up on my grandfather's couch and the very first thing I saw on the TV screen as soon as I cracked my eyes open was a plane diving straight into the twin tower. I still can see that image in my mind til this day. Its Scarring.
I was 9. My teachers never turned on the TV for us to watch it. But i remember parents showing up to get their children out of school and wondering what was going on.
The most powerful event in our lifetime. It’s a day that will always be thought of as “before and after” . And we will always remember where we were when the planes hit. RIP to all those lost . Still emotional. This changed everything!
And I will remember the brave firefighters and policemen that were running iNTO the building, while everyone else was running out for their lives. In all the anti police hatred today, people conveniently forget how many died that day, rushing into save people
Yes, and why isn't the world better? Why hasn't there been a satisfying response as to why did this happened....or is it better, and I just can't see the forest for the trees. At times it feels as though the country will collapse just like the towers.
My uncle worked in WT #4....we kept calling him but never got an answer. We were worried sick that he was killed, even though his building was not hit, it was destroyed when the North Tower fell on it. I do mean it was almost unrecognizable. I have ssen the pictures of it. We finally got a call from his son and he had retired 1 month earlier. No one in the family knew this. We were so very happy to hear this!!! I actually visited the WTC in 1978. I still cannot believe these two buildings are gone. They were massive! RIP to all lives lost that day...
Hey Donna! Apologies for dropping this here I came across your RUclips channel and I would love to know you better. I'm guessing you must be an honest person, because I always found your comments to be so nice and respectful. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friend but if it sounds odd or embarrassing in any way please don't embarrass me by replying. Have a wonderful day, and keep sharing!
It’s actually insane how there’s literally 9/11 survivors in the comment section. It feels like I’m talking to the last of the war veterans, god bless you all 😭
I was in the Marines and on leave in Japan after getting married when this happened. I will never forget that day and the emotions I felt then are just as raw today.
It’s so crazy how not only the USA but the whole world changed on September 11, I was 12 and living in another country then and I still remember where I was and how everything changed for everybody 😢
Wow!! 🥺🥺 This made me cry! My uncle, a deaf man, was working there. He made it out and he said he actually HEARD the bodies hit the ground as ppl were jumping. Imagine never being able to hear, but u hear that!! God Bless EVERYONE that had to experience that! Is that the all of the interview? I want to hear the rest of his story!
It's crazy the amount of bravery it needs to take for him to talk about this. After all the trauma he must have gone through, he still comes on and talks about it. I could never do what he did.
Yes you could. My sister was having her wedding that weekend in NY. I lived in CA just the trauma of not being able to just get on a flight and fly home was enough for me to over come my fear of flying and seeing my family again. I'll be scared later, right now I got to do what I got to do.
How can you say that with so much conviction? It's over 20 years on. He's had all the time to process and address the trauma to the point that he was able to do this interview, and maybe it would have been the same for you too
I agree. This was a poor series of decisions. It was chaotic and confusing to many, but many workers remembered the 1993 bombing and got out as quick as possible. Pasquale's pregnant wife was begging and pleading, but he dawdled around and stressed her unnecessarily.
My dad went to the Air Force academy and was a pilot with Leroy Homer the pilot of flight 93. 💔 my parents reminisce on his kind nature and spending thanksgiving with him. My mom would have all the squadron over and cook for them. Heartbreaking
I live in Ohio and watched both planes hit as I was watching the morning news. Scared me so much I went and signed my kids out of school. My husband at the time, kids' father told me I was being dramatic but I didn't care because nobody really knew what was going on and I needed to make sure my kids were with me should it come our way somehow. Never forget!
That's exactly what I was feeling, I was only 21 at the time but, I remember right away from watching the news when the first plane hit "they were saying it was a small one", and my friend and I were both looking at one another shaking our heads in disbelief because you could see "that hole" wasn't any small plane, then the 2nd one hits! I remember screaming and looking around outside..... etc, you just didn't know what was going to happen next! I was in Versailles, Kentucky. Rip to all those innocent beautiful lives lost that day, and NEVER FORGET 🇺🇸
Good job, no matter what "didnt" happened, you made a decision on a day of whats to keep your babies close and safe. Im from a place where the airport is logan, and there are military places in town. I was in 9th grade. The school went into chaos, but it was very calm structured chaos. Parents grabbed their kids. Families here did lose loved ones on the flights. It was so so solemn. We were concearned. We were confused. But even kids like me who were trouble makers, did not make a single trouble that day. This was a moment of sincere compassion for the world and humanity. I was watching it happen in real time from the library on tv. I still see the video of the south tower fall. I couldn't comprehend in my 15 yr old brain the tragedy happening in front of me. I still try to make sense of what I saw. Of course ill NEVER be able to. Why do people hate so deep and hard they resort to these things? I get we as Americans, out government has done things... we need to find a way to live and love eachother. Live in peace. Take care of eachother. We are one human race of planet earth. We are NOT divided in all the ways others want us to be.
Bless this man's heart for being able to calmly share his story. The fear. I imagine he had nightmares for a long time. He is lucky to have survived. As much as I've seen footage of this horrific day I still can comprehend the enormity of it. Our country strongly came together for that. Too bad it is divided so much now.
Unfortunately, I think the damage between left and right in this country is beyond repair at this point. It shouldn’t take a tragedy to make us all love each other. It’s heartbreaking, really.
I agree, the way our Country change together was something I wish this new generation could have felt as horrific as this time was with the loss of so many innocent and wonderful people /human beings.
Wow…..his story just kinda stopped abruptly? Obviously he walked away, but he basically rode with the building falling 22 floors and lived to tell the story?….did any of the other folks he was going down the stairs with survive?
This is some of the best content I have ever seen. Heart wrenching. No sensational titles about a surfer. No political nonsense. Just honest emotions and unmodified, uninterrupted stories told by the people who experienced it. Well done Joe and team. Thank you. You have a well deserved new subscriber.
I remember seeing it on the news. The reporter said that the second plane was a replay. I knew it wasn't. I screamed at my mom. " New York is under attack." My heart stopped. I live in Vancouver Canada. I remember thee local firemen out EVERYWHERE collecting donations. We were and are with you.
Surreal morning.. I would never wake up and turn on the TV but that morning the moment the 1st plane hit I woke up and something told me to turn on the TV... and soon after.. sure enough.. breaking news.
I live in Vancouver Canada also; what was horrific to me was that later I got on a bus to go to a bar to watch live coverage on a large screen. At the time 7 women got on the bus laughing and shreiking; I just looked at them in shock; how could anyone find anything funny on this tragic day........
I remember my mom worked 5 blocks away from the towers. She was going through divorce with my dad. My dad was already living outside my home. I was at my school and my dad went pass school officials and told me to get my shit we are leaving. My teacher looked at him in shock. Picked my bookbag and started running with my dad to his car. Then he was speeding towards my cousin's school. Mind you my pops didn't know English. We get to my cousins school. Luckily when we get there we see my cousins in a line ready to enter his school. Big cousin recognized us and we started running to my dad's car. My dad drives us both to my aunt's house. He drops us off at my auntie's house. When we get to my aunt's house. I'll never forget at the door what my dad told my aunt. Even though he was going through divorce. He told my aunt that he needed to get my mom even though he had to run through the Brooklyn bridge. 4 to 5 hours later. He pulls up and drops my mom off safely. Me and my dad don't have the best relationship. But that day I learned the importance of fathers protecting their families.

@@rulesforrebels right. As a kid in school, we were told to leave a building in the event of a fire/ drill. I dont see how they thought firefighters would get to all those ppl in a feasible amount of time.

Twenty-two years later and I'm still compelled to watch/read/hear stories from that horrible day. God bless everyone who was affected in any way on 9/11/01.
I'm not American but I remember that day like it was yesterday, yet I've heard crazy people in the US say the govt did it on purpose, not bin laden. Unbelievable disrespect to the people in and around those buildings that awful day and all those who lost their lives. RIP.

@@bhall4996 yes, truly empty lives. Lack of education too. I find it difficult to believe they spread that kind of rubbish after such an horrific, life-changing event for Americans.
@@ksc743 there are plenty of awful conspiracy theories around the event but there is also a lot of unexplained and suspicious activity around the event. Just the unusual stock market activity was enough to warrant investigations from multiple nations.
@@ksc743 yes I agree it took years of planning and many people were involved and towers fell when the plane hijacked by Islamist terrorists flew into them. But there were very legitimate reports of unusual amounts of money being moved around right before the attacks, especially in the flight industry. If that’s a crazy conspiracy then I guess the governments of Germany and other major nations are just crazy conspiracy nuts because that’s who led the investigations. This suggests that the secret plan wasn’t exclusive to only the thirteen or so high jackers. Also, there were plans to high jack more than just the three planes that were successfully high jacked that day so there are still people out here who went to airports that morning with the intention of high jacking a plane but were unsuccessful for whatever reason.
My cousin was in the towers. She told me that she used to say good morning & chat with a security guard each morning before heading to work at her bank. When she finally made it out, she saw the torso of a body but nothing else was recognizable or even there. She then said she saw the name on the shirt & realized it was him. After hearing that, I finally realized fully what these people went through on that day. Absolute horror. 😢

Finally an interviewer who is respectful and doesn’t interrupt someone talking about such a sensitive and personal experience.
Surprised that it is Joe budden but good for him!!!
Idky but that pisses me tf off so bad to where I simply have to just change it. Nore does that on drink champs so bad to we’re I’m even shocked that they still have a podcast. It’s super annoying and aggravating. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😡😡
AS Budden has said he takes his cue and style from Joe Rogan, and to some degree Lex Fridman who also let their guests do most of the talking. In contrast mainstream media like CNN MSNBC etc interviewers think they are the experts and keep trying to steer toward their outlets partisan views
Budden's a new york native, born in Manhattan, he's old enough to have experienced the gravity of this firsthand.
Lol you think JB is respectful 😂
He did more than describe falling 22 stories..... the entire interview put me right there with him.... I'm a very visual person, so I could see and feel the entire scene he told 😔😔...
Same here, I was gripping the arms of my chair so tight and my heart was pounding. I cried start to finish.
Real shit
but he didn't describe it. how did he survive?
You all are dumb, and to the one who isn't dumb and instead asked the question of how he survived, he jumped up in the elevator at the third to second floor when it crashed, it likely injured him still but the impact would of been lessened to a degree, I agree he didn't describe it very well -Jack is just hateful idk, I mean me, I'm Jack in this case, the other Jack is cool I bet but idk,
I Am Jack Kosminski
You may think you know what he is feeling like but trust me, you and him have two completely different feelings. You are just using your imagination to actually “ Feel” But it is way different when it is first hand experience. It is not even the same. Don’t put yourself in the same category as this man.
I was working on the 71st floor that day. Just like that man said, we were told to stay put so we wouldn’t get on the way of the firefighters. I remember I got up, and grabbed my stuff and said im leaving and my supervisor immediately yelled out at my name and said “you’re not going anywhere. You’re staying like the rest of us.” And then proceeded to tell everyone at the office anyone who walked out that door would face serious consequences. I looked at her and said “So fire me, I’m leaving regardless. Something is not right.” And left… I made it out just in time. My coworkers were messaging me to come back that the supervisor kept saying she would make sure I wouldn’t come back. I told my coworkers this is a terroristic attack and begged them to get out. 2 of my friends listened to me and were on their way to leave. But it was too late for them… no one from the office made it.. No one. This memories and to know I was the only one who made it still haunts me to this day..
I'm so sorry you lost so many friends that day. There must be a very special reason why you survived . . . maybe just to keep your coworkers memories alive. It must haunt you every day.💔
I’m so sorry for the loss of your friends and everyone who passed away in the tragedy. I’m really really happy that you listened to your intuition and chose to do that brave thing. Sending so much love to you❤
What was the name of your company? And what was the name of your supervisor? And which tower?
Messaging you? In 2001? Sure.
Text messages were a thing in 2001. Infact cross network texts started in 99. So yeah very plausible messages were sent.
She’s extremely lucky her husband came home for real. I live in ny and can still remember being younger and watching my mom crying on the phone with her friend. Her husband was a fireman and she hadn’t heard from him and no one could find him.

Dad had a standing 9am meeting on one of the top floors. That day was the first time it was ever moved to 10am. He was walking to the building instead of in it just by that one twist of fate.

@@Blueslyfox I was guessing the name of his dad’s firm; Marsh-McLennan was a tenant on some of the floors he mentioned, and they lost a lot of ppl…but after looking it up it seems every last employee of theirs was killed, so I’m prob wrong
@@jesusgonzalez-acton8045 He's likely referring to Marsh McLennan, and it isn't true that "every last employee of Marsh McLennan died that day". Marsh McLennan suffered a horrible loss on 9/11 --- about 300 of their employees in the Manhattan office tragically perished that morning, as they were on high floors of the WTC and had no way to escape. But many of the employees hadn't arrived yet, and many others were out of the office at meetings and appointments; those weren't killed. Neither were the tens of thousands of Marsh McLennan employees who worked in other offices in other cities. Marsh McLennan is still a viable, functioning company, but it was difficult for them to adjust to losing 300 members of their 85,000-person workforce in a single morning.
The way he explained it I can see it so vividly. Almost 22 years lately I'm still in disbelief and that day still haunts me. RIP to all the Victims.
Same I tell kids my all the time
I was 10 years old, 5th grade. One of the staff comes running into the room yelling about how WTC and the White House had been blown up. Obviously, her info was somewhat off. But what really scared me was that here in Baltimore we also have a WTC. 10 year old me immediately thought the danger was close to home.

He missed more than 1 train. Such things can save us from other situations we’re unaware of. Glad he lived.
@Dama Doms That statement is very true. I still live in New York and lived there during that time. There was a news article about all the people that missed that one E train. In an interview the motorman that drove the train was an employee that never took sick or a day off for 19 years, and he also called sick that day. So being late saved them. It was very powerful to hear their testimony. One woman said she missed that train bc she had to stop and buy pantyhose, another missed that same train bc they stopped to get coffee, etc.
I know right. Who would've thought these types of things could ever happen
I happened to catch the E Train to the World Trade Center station early that day.

I'm the same age as you are, and my emotions are identical.

It is a shock you can never quite put into words or your brain fully process or understand...and intensely overwhelming feeling of sorrow for all those experiencing it and thinking they were about to die. It was and still is horrific.

I wish I was like this man, still being able to think clearly under a situation of great stress. The way he talked to his wife and asked her to describe where the building was hit is so intelligent, I mean he truly acted rationally and that saved his life
God saved his life 🙏🏾
WHAT? Him staying there and calling his wife is what should’ve gotten him killed. If was by sheer blind luck he survived a 22 story fall. If he acted rationally and left right away he wouldn’t have needed to survive that fall
Yeah, but its not like he had any idea what was going on. He thought it was a fire on one floor at first. He should have left after, but like he said they didn't want to block fire fighters, were told to stay by security, and everything seemed calm around them on their floor. A good lesson from this is that even if it seems okay for the moment get out at the earliest possibility because that calm may not last. But there is no rationality that he really lacked, instead he just didn't know how severe it was until they saw the problems start to show up, and then they tried to leave.
Why can’t you think clearly under situations of great stress?
He is lucky he is still alive due to his irrational thoughts. You should never go up, in an elevator no less rather than down. As someone who is a structural specialist should know this. Who knows how we would react, but even his wife has the sense to tell him to get out. And making sure you bring your briefcase? Smh
The most shocking event in my life. 22 years later and still crying. I can't comprehend what people have been through the last moments of their lives.
Absolutely horrific for all involved. Falling 22 storeys is something that should kill or permanently injure someone but he’s physically fine. Amazing. I’m sure there are many untold stories out there still, and even after all these years it’s good to hear stories from those who got out alive. Bless him

@@louiiviable , incredibly lucky. I’m sure many of the thousands that got pulverized were praying just as hard.

I was a rookie with the NYPD. We were all ordered in that morning because the academy had an A squad and B squad which we flip flopped days 4X12s.
As a 22 year old I grew up very quick with what we saw down there. What sucks is how many continue to become sick with serious ailments from what we all inhaled while down there.
Great job with this interview.
Thanks for your service bro
Thank you for your selfless service at a time when you were needed most. That's the very definition of courage to put others before yourself in such dire conditions. ❤️
People like John Stewart fought for you guys to get the help you need. The cancers and health effects from the dust are no joke and heros are dropping dead left and right because of it, many having no money to pay for the surgery and medical expenses. They said to never forget but we forget about he people that risked their life to help others that day
Thank you for your service!🙏👏🏻❤️🇨🇦
@@christianterrill3503 yes, Jon Stewart is a good man. Because of his fight we are all covered for our lifetime. I hope most of us never have to use the benefits, but def important for them to be available from what we were breathing in down there.
This guy is the BEST interviewer! He never interrupts the man’s story unnecessarily. THANK YOU!

Yes! I agree
He knows he's in the presence of absolute greatness
Haha said absolutely no one about Joe Budden before now!
I was surprised to see him doing this interview and happy to see he wasn't his same old self for it.
The interviewer himself was too transfixed at the story to even want to interrupt...
@@poorboys14 i’m pretty sure he truly did it out of respect regarding the seriousness of the situation
This gave me chills. I was working in Secaucus, NJ, in a big glass building right across the river when this happened. While driving to work, I saw the buildings on fire. A friend of mine worked in one of the towers. Thankfully, he got to work late that day and had just entered the lobby when the plane hit and immediately ran out. Unfortunately, he had to witness people jumping and had a hard time getting any transportation out of the city. I worked on the 10th floor in Secaucus and we had huge windows. I can remember looking out of our conference room window and witnessing the buildings collapse IRL and in real time and my heart sank. I've never felt so helpless and so sad. It will be forever ingrained in my memory.
Your experience was traumatic 🙏 PTSD-worthy. I saw it from my roof in Astoria after hearing the news, but we were not that close. What a nightmare the weeks after were😢
Can't even imagine what that would be like to see the twin towers fall...so sorry. God be with you always.
Thank you for sharing- never forget! 9/11
Wow how heart breaking to watch that from a distance. It's crazy to hear survivors different views and stories from that horrible day in history. I was in high school still so I was clueless what happened until next period when my history teacher turned on the TV to watch the coverage of what was happening in real time. I remember my teacher wiping tears watching. All television production stopped for few days after that and nothing but news coverage was shown. I wish this day never happened and hope nothing like this ever happens again
Wow. You saw the fire from the bomb they planted. They try to say the 737's melted. Nope. Just like they couldn't find the plane that supposedly hit the pentagon. Another bomb.
Notjing like a good halogram to fool ppl.
I'm so sorry these people had to experience such a death. Years later my heart still hurts for these people 🙏🙁!!
I always think about those people that jumped out the building and no they didn't go to hell.
@@muhamedjones122 what?
@@henrygarza3145 They didn't go to hell, so it was their fault they couldn't breathe from the thick smoke because an idiot flew a plane into the building.
I still get all choked up. Not at a mention, but Everytime i really think about it.
It was done so that we would carry this hurt always. 💔
I remember being in kindergarten in Brooklyn seeing fear on my teachers faces brought me to panic they brought us all the the auditorium and made us sit in the dark until our parents came to pick us up; my mother and I ran home everyone was panicking in the streets freaking out everyone was panicking and crying and my mom brought me home... we lived on top of an apartment building I could see the tower smoking from my window... Such a vivid memory.
This is the vital importance of intuition. All the people who called in sick, decided to go home or left immediately once the first tower was hit survived. Everyone who listened to their boss, authorities or the news to just stay inside didn't. It's really sad and interesting at the same time to hear this in peoples stories.
Every time that I am being delayed, whether traffic, someone in line in front of me going slow, I remind myself of those people who missed their bus, or stopped for something that made them late to work at the twin towers and saved their lives.
If only he listened to his wife hahahahaha we would have been out earlier and running away
Excellent perspective!
...this also applies to what happened the past 2 years. Many of those who listened to authorities and billionaires who profited from a certain "treatment" are today either dead or struggling with myocarditis, blood cloths, cancer, heart attacks etc. I am the only one in my family who didn't take it because I listened to my intuition, while the rest of my family all have health problems now that they didn't have before they took the so-called treatment that science now has shown to not be as affective as natural immunity, and other studies have shown that it increases the risk of all the conditions I mentioned earlier. Statistics backs this up too. I have always been the most intuitive, and at times even psychic (dreaming of things before they happen etc), in my family, and have been ridiculed for it many times. And now I am the healthiest in our family, while some of them have had to admit that it was a bit telling that their blood cloths happened 1-2 weeks after their 2nd jab... I am extremely grateful for my strong intuition!
Yeah, I remember a man's story, I don't recall his name. He was in the South Tower and when the North Tower was hit his first instinct was to get out of the building and made it to the lobby but his co-workers and the announcements convinced him to go back up to his office. He was in his office when he saw the second plane headed towards his building. Part of the plane impacted his floor and didn't kill him but he was trapped, he started screaming for help and another man who was going down the stairs heard him and got him out and they both got out of the building seconds before it collapsed.
My God... I cannot imagine the panic and anxiety of his pregnant wife! I am glad this man is alive to speak about his experience!
I teared up. Imagine being him.... Being any of those people.... The terror they must've felt. I couldn't even imagine. Thank you for this Joe Budden.

I’ll never get over having to run my black ass into the nearest building when the first tower collapsed.. I looked like Casper with all the ash that was on my entire body.. when I sit and think how lucky I was to make it home that day.. damn
I worked second shift but still got up early in the morning, saw this as it happened and was all alone. I knew those people up at the top had to get out of there. Heartbreaking to stand there and feel so helpless for these people. I cried the entire week. It was very hard to work after that for a long while. I called my family and said I love you.
I hope you are dealing with hour trauma the best way you can and I am so sorry this happened to you
That is absolutely awful. I am so sorry. Survivor Guilt is a terrible thing. I'm so glad you were not on shift. Sending you love from Australia.

From how this survivor told this story I had an absolute visceral reaction to it, as if I was there with him. I'm so happy that you survived, you are obviously deeply loved. May you have peace the rest of your days. 🙏❤️
Oh man, that adds a whole new level of sad to this. Ontop of losing the bravest firefighters, you also lose people who didn't evacuate right away because they didn't want to inhibit rescue operations.
As a 14 year old kid, I was in high school across the river. Everyone was looking out the windows watching everything unfold. May everyone RIP 🙏🏽
I was in high school too it was a half day so we were in lunch and they wheeled like 4 tvs in for everyone to watch, unbeknownst to us, the second plane hit the towers live. Crazy day to say the least.

Good God, what a horrific site for a boy of just 14 to have to witness. ❤️
I was in high school to 2nd week of 11th grade
I remind the day vividly. I was in my Statics class as a sophomore in high school. They told our city for all the students to go home because we were unsure if any of the planes could still crash down on people.

I remember that day vividly I was in Elementary School at the time. I remember a Teacher who had a free period at the time came in and told us what happened. Then our parents or guardians picked us up an hour or two later. To actually hear from someone who was at the World Trade when it happened and experienced it first hand is wild.
I was in 3rd grade and I remember my teacher coming in almost having a panic attack

My family was more fortunate than most that day and I’m sorry for all the families who lost someone. But my father had a meeting in tower 2 at 830am and his train was due in around 7.
His company I think was called Compaq and they began firing people in late summer 2001 (my dad worked for Digital Equipment in the 80s and 90s and they were purchase by Compaq)
2 weeks before 9/11 all of the higher ups and top salesman were suppose to be going to New York for a huge meeting but something within the company changed rapidly and my dad was told to not come. 9 of his friends however did go and all subsequently died.
HP (Hewlett-Packard) apparently was in talks to purchase Compaq at the time and later finalized the deal in i think early 2002.
My dads jobs were stressful during the tech boom in 98-2005 because he kept getting jobs then the companies would be acquired and they’d let everyone go.
But this one saved his life
Talk about lucky to lose your job. I also worked at a company that was acquired by Compaq in 2001 which was then bought by HP as you said.
I’ve worked many security jobs at different hotels, areas, and industries. You don’t know how many times they tell us in the case of an evacuation: to let EVERYONE leave and never hold anyone back from their choice if they feel they have to leave because of this incident. So many people were listening to their gut instinct, and we’re reassured. So many lives could’ve been saved.
Don't forget this was a 110 storey building with only narrow stairwells, and they never believed it would collapse, so giving firemen first priority especially if incident is on much higher floor would seem the prudent course of action, most workers in floors below impact sites did manage to evacuate in time, many when firemen reached their floors and told them to get out of building, but equally many chose to ignore the "the building is safe, go back to your desks"message that was played repeatedly over towers PA systems.
No it's because they were brainwashed by modern corporate America that work is everything, they were scared of being fired if they left
This tragedy is something I still can't get past. This most gut wrenching day. I can't imagine the fear of those poor people.
This is why I can't understand how the news says 1/6 is the worst day in America. They have no clue
This is it right here bro...I served overseas because of this..will never forget 9/11 that day..I was in Philly.. center city...never saw the city so empty that day....r.i.p. to all of the victims
Well I sure hope you learned that your government is responsible for doing it! Most importantly glad you haven't lost your life behind it! 🙏🏽

@@user-lg3rx2ko5g I don’t think 9/11 conspiracies are edgelords. The majority of America believes it’s an inside job so does most of the rest of the world
Went to New York about two weeks after 9/11. The people were still in shock. I am a psychologist and everywhere we went people needed to talk. They just had to process what had happened to them. I listened. On the way was a psychiatrist who had his therapy dog with him. Emma was her name. Her job was to calm the people who had lived through that tragedy .
that day created a massive amount of trauma in new yorkers, and I think to many americans as well. I like in nyc, we all had ptsd for years. I just now am able to watch anything about 9/11 without horror or strong emotional pain. I have not been back downtown to that area but watching these gives me a new desire to back to the area. I cant imagine the horror this man lived with, he is very strong.
The whole world was in shock and grief.
He’s an amazing storyteller. The dramatic music is unnecessary
I'll never forget this day.... I was 22 years old and I remember watching the second plane hit and the towers falling. I was at work and I came home and my mom just grabbed me and hugged me while she was sobbing.. we were both a mess that whole day. RIP to everyone who lost their life that sad day. 😢
Same I was 20 was working 3rd shift at the time can tell u everything I did that morning watched the news until 3pm that day couldn't cut it off
Twenty plus years later and I still cry when I hear this gentleman tell his story. I guess we’ll never stop grieving about what happened. I KNOW we’ll never forget.
I was once in an elevator when something like this happened, and every one of us in there, instantly and instinctively had an overwhelming urge to get to the ground and away from the building. I remember that feeling ... it was incredibly powerful. An animal instinct to get to the earth and run.
I cannot fathom a desire to go the other way. It's against every possible instinct.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the elevator he was in didn't go any lower. Going up or exiting on the smoke filled floor then find the stairwell in amongst all the chaos to be able to go down were his only options
An elevator won't drop if the cable is cut.....the brakes failsafe closed so the car just wouldn't move.
🧢
Oh, God, no! I never would have gone up. Yikes!!
He couldn't go down with the elevator he was in already, that was the problem. He had to choose between going blindly through the smoke and finding the return elevator, or going back into the elevator he had come out of and getting as far away from the fire as possible. In that situation, I can see why you would choose to go up.
How on earth he survived is beyond me. Incredible.

Physics
They can't. It's highly likely that he had lost situational awareness and didn't realize he was lower than he thought he was. Almost no one survives a fall from even 80 feet (very few documented cases). 260 feet would not be survivable. That doesn't mean he's lying. It means he was on a lower floor than he thought he was and wasn't aware of it.
@@ko7577No, it's not impossible. People have survived a parachute failure and airplane crashes. It's pure luck. Chance and decisions you make. Those other 2 women would've been pulverised to dust, because they made a bad decision.

Might be irrelevant but why would you not want to show the person that your interviewing in your thumbnail? I mean it’s basic common sense to include that person? It just makes it look like he’s the one being interviewed like I low key for thought that he was the one that fell lmao.

I was 18, the world changed for the worse after that.
I was 17 in the UK too. Watched it live. Horrified.

Unbelievable. That was a riveting story of just one survivor of 9/11. I'm happy for him and his family, that they are together.
We need all the stories. I was never satisfied by how this was handled. Stories of anyone who was there is a cannon and needs to be told. This event was the tipping point of our lives.
Riveting. My thought as well. 9/11 Always Remember !
After all these years after 9/11 still brings me to tears and rebreaks my heart every time. I wrote a paper about the falling man in high school, I cried for a week because I was so devastated by all the research I had done. Every night when I closed my eyes I saw him. That man has NEVER left my mind after all these years, and it never will.
So far, story a little sketchy

9/11 happened 1000 miles from my house, but you'd never know it by the way my city reacted that day. That day we were all New Yorkers. I seriously think the nation has PTSD over that incident.

Thanks for bringing people like this on your show, this story needs to be heard, he's one of the few or only one that survived 9/11 while inside the towers when they were coming down.
Didn’t he say he laid on like a chunk of concrete held together by rebar. I’m imagining a concrete flying carpet kind of deal where the debri was so much it’s preventing him from free falling, but just rides the concrete block down 22 floors, now that is amazing. The odds , guess that’s why he is the only one with this story. It’s just insane
I was 12years old in middle school when this ish happen. Teachers start crying kids parents start coming to get them. School was almost empty. No body really told me what happen, I seriously thought it was a movie but I was like why they keep playing it over and over. I always wanted to hear the story of survivors.
Yea pretty much same here only i was a freshman in high school in West Virginia . But to reflect on the impact the country felt : we weren’t remotely close to New York City and parents were bailing kids out of school that day . I went to school with 1,200 students and it was almost cleared out that day. Parents thought the entire country was under attack
How is he still alive, thought the asbestos dust would have messed up their lungs
I lived near dc and even there it was crazy....I was 8 and one of the last kids to be picked up from school....parents were running in the school to get their kids, no sign outs either smh I will never forget
I was 11 in middle school
Yes! I was in social studies class in the 7th grade and I saw clouds of smoke out the window and said “Look” everybody ran to the window to see and we were talking amongst ourselves saying it was a fire but our teachers face looked horrified. I remember everyone was being called to go home. My school was in Brooklyn but we were right across the bridge so alot of parents worked in lower Manhattan. So many people were crying. I was so confused. It was crazy
I'm so angry that anyone had to feel that fear. Every time I watch one of these stories, my blood boils and I cry in anger and sorrow.
Uh, ok

My uncle, a deaf man, was working there. He made it out and he said he actually HEARD the bodies hit the ground as ppl were jumping. Imagine never being able to hear, but u hear that!! God Bless EVERYONE that had to experience that!
Is that the all of the interview? I want to hear the rest of his story!
They "feel" vibrations around them.
@@Og-Judy I'm well AWARE of the vibrations they FEEL. However, MY uncle HEARD THEM hit the ground and he said so himself.
It's crazy the amount of bravery it needs to take for him to talk about this. After all the trauma he must have gone through, he still comes on and talks about it. I could never do what he did.
Yes you could. My sister was having her wedding that weekend in NY. I lived in CA just the trauma of not being able to just get on a flight and fly home was enough for me to over come my fear of flying and seeing my family again. I'll be scared later, right now I got to do what I got to do.
Fake story
@@volvo24091 you are a heartless person.
@@gonnabeok. I have no time for cry babies with their sob stories
How can you say that with so much conviction? It's over 20 years on. He's had all the time to process and address the trauma to the point that he was able to do this interview, and maybe it would have been the same for you too
I can't imagine the trauma this gentleman dealt and is dealing with from this. To be right there and live to tell the story.
Yeah I'm surprised he didnt let himself cry about his friends. I could tell he had cried a lot.
Sir since the elevator had fallen why go back up.
I agree. This was a poor series of decisions. It was chaotic and confusing to many, but many workers remembered the 1993 bombing and got out as quick as possible. Pasquale's pregnant wife was begging and pleading, but he dawdled around and stressed her unnecessarily.
My dad went to the Air Force academy and was a pilot with Leroy Homer the pilot of flight 93. 💔 my parents reminisce on his kind nature and spending thanksgiving with him. My mom would have all the squadron over and cook for them. Heartbreaking
I live in Ohio and watched both planes hit as I was watching the morning news. Scared me so much I went and signed my kids out of school. My husband at the time, kids' father told me I was being dramatic but I didn't care because nobody really knew what was going on and I needed to make sure my kids were with me should it come our way somehow. Never forget!
That's exactly what I was feeling, I was only 21 at the time but, I remember right away from watching the news when the first plane hit "they were saying it was a small one", and my friend and I were both looking at one another shaking our heads in disbelief because you could see "that hole" wasn't any small plane, then the 2nd one hits! I remember screaming and looking around outside..... etc, you just didn't know what was going to happen next! I was in Versailles, Kentucky. Rip to all those innocent beautiful lives lost that day, and NEVER FORGET 🇺🇸
@Hoxaye L regardless of who you believe was responsible that day we Americans were definitely attacked!
Good job, no matter what "didnt" happened, you made a decision on a day of whats to keep your babies close and safe.
Im from a place where the airport is logan, and there are military places in town. I was in 9th grade.
The school went into chaos, but it was very calm structured chaos.
Parents grabbed their kids. Families here did lose loved ones on the flights. It was so so solemn.
We were concearned. We were confused. But even kids like me who were trouble makers, did not make a single trouble that day.
This was a moment of sincere compassion for the world and humanity.
I was watching it happen in real time from the library on tv.
I still see the video of the south tower fall. I couldn't comprehend in my 15 yr old brain the tragedy happening in front of me.
I still try to make sense of what I saw. Of course ill NEVER be able to.
Why do people hate so deep and hard they resort to these things?
I get we as Americans, out government has done things... we need to find a way to live and love eachother. Live in peace. Take care of eachother.
We are one human race of planet earth. We are NOT divided in all the ways others want us to be.
Bless this man's heart for being able to calmly share his story. The fear. I imagine he had nightmares for a long time. He is lucky to have survived. As much as I've seen footage of this horrific day I still can comprehend the enormity of it. Our country strongly came together for that. Too bad it is divided so much now.
*Wut abt. the 2-Ladies into 22 FLoor???*
*I NEG Voted this & I am BLocking Joe Budden!!!*
Unfortunately, I think the damage between left and right in this country is beyond repair at this point. It shouldn’t take a tragedy to make us all love each other. It’s heartbreaking, really.
I agree, the way our Country change together was something I wish this new generation could have felt as horrific as this time was with the loss of so many innocent and wonderful people /human beings.
@@Justin.Martyr.Eugene Way to further divide the country. Please stop causing chaos & carnage.
Wow…..his story just kinda stopped abruptly? Obviously he walked away, but he basically rode with the building falling 22 floors and lived to tell the story?….did any of the other folks he was going down the stairs with survive?
This is some of the best content I have ever seen. Heart wrenching. No sensational titles about a surfer. No political nonsense. Just honest emotions and unmodified, uninterrupted stories told by the people who experienced it. Well done Joe and team. Thank you. You have a well deserved new subscriber.
I remember seeing it on the news. The reporter said that the second plane was a replay. I knew it wasn't. I screamed at my mom. " New York is under attack." My heart stopped. I live in Vancouver Canada. I remember thee local firemen out EVERYWHERE collecting donations. We were and are with you.
Surreal morning.. I would never wake up and turn on the TV but that morning the moment the 1st plane hit I woke up and something told me to turn on the TV... and soon after.. sure enough.. breaking news.
I live in Vancouver Canada also; what was horrific to me was that later I got on a bus to go to a bar to watch live coverage on a large screen. At the time 7 women got on the bus laughing and shreiking; I just looked at them in shock; how could anyone find anything funny on this tragic day........
He took us there the way he told his reality. This is one of the best interviews that I've seen in awhile riveting
