Swat was nothing but another crowd watching and letting the kids die, they could’ve had less maybe even none if they paid attention to the signs of Eric
Yea, even tho I was only 9 at the time I always wished I would of been there that day and helped save and stop...I would of ran in there orders or not, I'd rather be fired knowing I saved lives then sitting outside hearing kids fearing for their lives and being killed.
Daniel’s father is such a great person. I love hearing him speak. The fact that he wears his son’s shoes while he does things to honor his son touches me so deeply.
It’s only when you see their classmates all these years later, you can fully appreciate fully what those who died have missed out on.. baby faced teens, with their whole lives ahead of them, and here, 20 years later, the classmates in their mid to late 30s, a whole lifetime later. It’s been longer without them here in the world than they were here on earth
No it’s not only then. Can I ask how old you are? This happened my freshman year in high school and I have never forgotten about any of that- what they have missed out on.
Musa Haque what are you talking about? All I’m saying is I haven’t forgotten a single one of those kids. I know their names, where they were that day. I think ur missing my point.
Musa Haque and honestly this impacted me fiercely. No matter if I was there or not: this event changed my view on the world, my sense of security, everything. You didn’t need to be there in order to be changed by this event.
Lord AssassinV2 I noticed when coverage began that the parents of the two shooters weren’t talked about the same way the parents of the victims were but they suffered the same loss. It wasn’t them that picked up the weapons and did the shooting. It wasn’t bad parenting that caused the boys to kill but they have been overlooked as if to blame.
Skittles I never said they were bad parents. Read it again. I said that I felt it was bad that they were thought to be bad parents by many people when in fact they did not make their kids do what they did and they suffered the same loss which was the loss of a child but were not mentioned in the same sentences as the parents of the victims when the loss of a child is the same no matter how it happened.
I know Sue Klebold does many interviews and even a TED talk about her son and what signs she missed. However, Eric's parents never spoke to the public. Seeing how Brooks Brown described their parenting, and how Eric's dad knew about his behaviors yet refused to address them, they probably know what they did wrong
The kids killed are now longer deceased than they were alive. It’s shocking how fragile life is and how long tragedy lasts especially for the loved ones left behind.
Police didn’t save those kids on April 20th those kids saved themselves along with a teacher who lost his life making sure kids got out or getting them into class that were out the way of those 2 gunmen he will forever be a hero
The police failed in the same way they failed at Parkland years later. Just like Nikolas Cruz.. the cops then were well aware Eric Harris was a powder keg psychopath waiting to go off. He failed a psych evaluation for the Marines.. and they have to report that...
I can only thank the swat team. Of course it takes a bit until a swat team arrives and all. But they went in at least(i still know it was too late) . The "normal police" arrived with multiple officers but nobody of them went into that school, very disappointing...
@@EAbc-bt6em Even worse than that... the officers on soon shot DOZENS of rounds into the school, blindly, and a lot of those rounds were fired long after the two killers were dead. They found bullets lodged in walls, doors, and other materials clear on the other side of the school... these cops were blindly unloading their magazines into a school that was still full of kids. To this day, the police/sheriff's department and have yet to answer for their reckless behavior and the documented instances where they repeatedly lied to cover their own asses. Only Randy Brown had the balls to stand up challenge them.
@Bryan Watt Police failed to do their job.....nothing out the ordinary in the US.🙄 Mind you, Columbine is a "white" school! Imagine if this school was dominantly filled with minorities (blacks and Latinos). The students (even the ones who were killed) would have been seen as "thugs".
police saved many kids that day based on survivor stories. plus, this wasn’t a thing at that time. it’s unhelpful and unnecessary to put high expectations on something they didn’t expect.
I don't know why I can't forget Columbine, especially after so many more school shootings have happened. I think it's because I was a senior at that time and everything seemed so changed after that. School was just different...
I was a senior as well - a month away from graduating. It completely altered everyone’s perspective of the world of high school. I find it particularly poignant thinking about those students who died who were also seniors. I’ve been fortunate to live to be 38, but they didn’t. And why?
I was a freshman and the same thing... I can't shake it. It's like rewatching a horror movie every time I see a special. I think it was really the first thing that made me feel unsafe in this world and it will forever cut deep.
It's hard for me to see that there is the same design for the library, the same chairs tables and carpeting. I can not imagine what Craig feels and the parents feel when they are inside the library. (I know it's not the same place where it happened) I do not know why they touch me so much. I just remember that I was 9 years old when it happened, I did not understand what happened there. Now I went back to it because of Rachel and her story
@rory gilmore Yes! Sad moment for everyone. 1)The kids who were critically injured and barely survived. 2) Kids who were fine but witnessed their friends being killed or hurt. 3) The teachers who were scared for their lives and lives of the students but couldn't save them. 4) Parents who had to bury their child. 5) On top of that, graduation was right around the corner for seniors. End of the year is suppose to be a happy and exciting.
It was so touching hearing Lauren Townsend's parent's talk about her. Loved hearing how her nephew and niece know all about her. And that she helps them even in spirit. Such as helping her nephew Jackson in his dreams, with her rescuing animals. It's Truly wonderful to know that even though she isn't there physically, she is still there spiritually. God Bless to her and her whole family!😀🙏
Lauren may have lost her life to cowards that obviously thought what they were doing was funny and justified but, her love, smiles and courage will live on forever in her home and at columbine school. God Bless her mom, dad and her entire family
Rachels Challenge!! Heard about this when I was only 11/12. Didn’t know any of these people but I feel for them and its almost like i miss them too. I wish they were here 🥺
My family member is a victim of the Vegas shooting. Civilians aren't equipped to witness and process the carnage of these war like events. So much more needs to be done for the traumatic wounds that don't bleed.
Listening to this makes me terribly sad. I can't imagine the pain and suffering of the families not to mention the pain and suffering of the survivors and the ones who were lost.
This was truly a horrible event and a nightmare for these parents to live with daily. I just hope as well as others that these families find their own peace with their losses. Thank you for posting heartfelt and emotional video.
Where are the basement tapes? Sean Graves and Craig Scott were Survivors and extremely lucky on that fatal day. Along with Patrick Ireland and those others who were wounded. Many were lucky. I don't believe the lives of some of the victims have been as celebrated as Rachel Scott, Lauren Townsend, or Dave Sanders. They ALL were important. The least discussed are Kyle Velasquez and Steven Curnow. They, to me, seemed to be forgotten in the whole ordeal when interviewing parents, family, friends, and even acquaintances. Our world tends to push kids with special needs aside. Yes, they do. I don't mean Steven had special needs but he did not seem to be as popular as the others but to me he was just as vital and special. His future along with Kyle's meant just as much as Lauren Townsend or Rachel Scott. Be an advocate for all. They all, including the shooters, had a bright future. So sad. Basement Tapes, they have things to learn from. Police on that day had a lot to learn from and STILL do! Seems to me our schools are no safer than they were back then. School shooters are still not challenged, they shoot until they themselves decide they have had enough. It can't be that way. Prayers to all those lost and there families.
@Laced WithLacey I can tell you what I remember.... The families viewed the basement tapes in December 1999 at Jeffco Sherriff Department. Eric and Dylan were eating candy, drinking vodka, both talking to the camera while holding shotguns and yelled "TO ALL THE VICTIMS FAMILIES WATCHING, F#CK YOU"!!😱 I ran out of the room after seeing that!!✌
There's a great movie about Dawn Anna, Lauren's mom, starring Debra Winger. The tragedy that woman has overcome is amazing. I grew up in Littleton. I was 9 when Columbine happened. My older sister was in high school, but she went to Kennedy. Still can remember how scared my mom was when she picked me up at the bus stop.
James Davies Me too. I'm 41 now. Remember very well. I lost my brother in 2013 and found him. He was my best friend. He was only 30. I know the pain of loss. The terror they felt hurts me more. They're all in Heaven doing good things. Much love ❤️ to all the families of the victims
why is there so much murder taking place in Colorado ?Chris Waats etc.?I can not imagine such a horror !The parents are so strong and like Dr. Phil said recovery is about "giving pain meaning "
I swear it’s the elevation from all the mountains. Elevation plays a huge role in brain development ( elevation sickness is lack of oxygen to the brain) Idk, this is all theory but maybe it makes people mentally unweary
Who’s great idea was it to ask the survivors to go to the actual place everything went down? Granted it’s not the same building but hell no that’s bad taste sorry
Estela Fernández that’s a good point. I just think it would be a place of great pain and bring all that flooding back idk I haven’t lived through anything like that so I have no personal comparisons
Oh honey. I’m a 45-year-old man I’m crying with you here. I am not a gun owner. The guns didn’t kill your baby these two boys did. I completely understand the need to place blame. I could never understand your grief. I’m so sorry.
The bare minimum is enacting a near-ban on high capacity magazines and a near-ban on assault weapons. There’s a reason y they’re called assault weapons, they weren’t mean for the public use, they were meant SOLELY for the battlefield. 😊
I extend my sympathies, tears, thoughts, prayers and condolences to the families of the deceased. However, I can't bring myself to watch "I'm Not Ashamed" because a lot of people have accused the family of Rachel Scott of profiting off of her death by selling her life story to movie producers.
Patrick M it’s more because they didn’t want students going back into the same room that most of the killings took place. They renovated the whole school after the shooting, as a reopening. The library was definitely repairable, but of course the rooms past would be a tourist attraction and would upset many students, knowing their friends died in the same room.
The originally library has been torn down. The students go to class like they would with any other school. There are interviews with kids currently enrolled in the school and the only time they really think of the shooting, is on the anniversary.
Columbine changed me. I was in high school myself. I happen to be on the end of the phone telling some one her friend Rachel was among those murdered in the massacre. I was affected in more ways than one. I heard Craig’s story of being in the library and playing dead to survive. My whole view on guns changed that day too and I’m still waiting for that change. Each shooting, you hear Columbine. Especially after this week in Boulder.
Those pictures at the beginning are like a (very sad) time capsule. I still view them as teenage kids. In reality, I was a senior in HS in 99 too.....these kids would be 38-41 now :-(
It’s kind of sad to not see the parents of the shooters taken into that fold and hugged as well. I cannot imagine how devastated they must have been to learn their kids did that. So much pain for everyone. Glad to see some healing has taken place.
anyone notice the camera interference when the first victim started talking? Paranormal investigators say that this happens when theres paranormal activity going on.
Dave Sanders is a fucking hero!! He saved hundreds of kids lives that day but payed with his own, Hope the school eventually devotes a wing to him. The Dave Sanders Wing
I like rachel scott's father saying to his daughter's gravesite say I leaned over and whispered i wonder what life would be like in 20 yrs. That made me cry.
I think I remember her brother saying that he and Rachel had a quarrel that morning. Anyway, that’s a great lesson. Tell people you love them even after a verbal fight. ♥️💕♥️
I'll never forget this day, my deepest prayers go out to EVER single family member and friends of the victims of this horrible tragedy, and may all the victims continue to RIP!!!😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
I truly send my condolences to all the families that lost their young children and to the family who lost the teacher Dave S. No one should be forgotten! It should also be recognized how serious Mental Illness is. Never take it lightly. Gun control should be there most definitely! People who are Ill should never own or have access to a fire arm.... PERIOD!!!! LIFE IS SHORT!!!! INTERVENTION is key.
Rip to all students and Eric and Dylan too. Always look for the causes and reasons for things happen and solve it. What Eric and Dylan did had a reason. If you find it then you can understand the whole point.
Its LOSS and lack more than grief for people whose faith is in crisis. They don't even know this because their perception is clouded by the presence of death. I know because I suffered in anguish of pain that i never ever want to feel so heartbroken or go through that ever again. Its like you feel like you can't breathe and your heart is being carved out of you as someone is squeezing all your blood out and you feel it burning through the capillaries all at the same time....you don't want to die too but its feels more like your dying but you don't want to..its just weird. And what i mean by lack is ...you thought you could have done something to prevent it from happening. 😭 You get stuck on that. I'm much better now. Prayer and reflection got me off of that hamster wheel of guilt.
Beautiful And Bravous Families... 2 crazy boys killed 13 times, Innocence; Humanity and Childhood... This tragedy is a lesson for All. I crying for victims.
Wait. It sounded like they were talking about the shootings taking place in the library they were in. I thought that the library where the shootings took place was completely removed - it was located over the cafeteria so they just removed the library floor and opened the cafeteria up to a two story height - and that the current library was added as a brand new room off one side of the building?
Please accept everyone... No one person knows the other truly Please accept Empathy True friends Please stop bullying...it's worth fixing those who bully
See something? Say something! Treat your brother and sister as equal. All of your fellow students who may not be in your life now, might show up later. The guy who bullied you, you might save his life down the road. You never know what cards life is going to deal to you. Nobody has to go down the road Eric and Dylan did, what they did was dumb. They couldn't even get building a bomb right and one of them was withdrawing off meds and should have been in treatment. This incident should not be blamed on gun control but on apathy towards mental illness and the snub nosed oppressive mentalities that come in living in middle/rural America. Middle/Rural American culture is dangerous, oppressive, and can force into seclusion, drugs or crime. Middle America only values working/laborious people, they have no creative, gifted, special needs, LGBT, etc. MIddle Ameican culture does not care for that. And that reflects in your schools, where those who are the children of those who obeyed Rural culture get to thrive, and of those who didn't they suffer. The American system encourages us to violate our own civil liberties to engage in discrimination involving employment, housing, medical, mental health, color, etc. all of these things you see in the youth, is hidden and made worse than policies and laws by adults.... America is a lie. America created columbine. There were shootings worse than if not far more deadlier than Columbine and they occurred afterwards. America creates its own problems. The fact that we DID DO NOTHING means that this 20 year anniversary is....kinda weak.
M Detlef Different counties have different people governing them. When one has a vote that supports keeping the school, they do. When the other votes to tear it down, they do. We see this all the time.
I remember this can't believe it's 20 yrs ago, holy fuk Im old... Anyhow I don't find lauren's mother lookalike...its like me and my 2 kids, some say wow she looks like u etc. My daughter is 3 she's a cancer survivor. As of March 4th.....tom check ur RUclips!!!
Kinda eerie that Lauren's parents are sitting on a place similar to where Lauren was killed. Next to the armchairs to the left of the detectors on the entrance.
Crazy to think that Dave Sanders saved more kids that day than the whole police department
Facts!!!
SWAT team was pretty much useless that day
Swat was nothing but another crowd watching and letting the kids die, they could’ve had less maybe even none if they paid attention to the signs of Eric
Yea, even tho I was only 9 at the time I always wished I would of been there that day and helped save and stop...I would of ran in there orders or not, I'd rather be fired knowing I saved lives then sitting outside hearing kids fearing for their lives and being killed.
@Tina Owens Thank you for sharing the truth.🤗✌
‘To me, he’s still 15..’ literally broke me

Liz Mowrey it’s a completely new library, the old one was torn down. A large majority of the school was rebuilt.
Liz Mowrey it got torn down from all the blood, Fire, and bullet/bomb damage
Patrick M it’s more because they didn’t want students going back into the same room that most of the killings took place. They renovated the whole school after the shooting, as a reopening. The library was definitely repairable, but of course the rooms past would be a tourist attraction and would upset many students, knowing their friends died in the same room.
The originally library has been torn down. The students go to class like they would with any other school. There are interviews with kids currently enrolled in the school and the only time they really think of the shooting, is on the anniversary.
Rip to all them 💗
ALL 15 LOVELY MEN
It sucks because that cant live there lives
Columbine changed me. I was in high school myself. I happen to be on the end of the phone telling some one her friend Rachel was among those murdered in the massacre. I was affected in more ways than one. I heard Craig’s story of being in the library and playing dead to survive. My whole view on guns changed that day too and I’m still waiting for that change. Each shooting, you hear Columbine. Especially after this week in Boulder.
Those pictures at the beginning are like a (very sad) time capsule. I still view them as teenage kids. In reality, I was a senior in HS in 99 too.....these kids would be 38-41 now :-(
Lauren’s father has a lovely face.
It’s kind of sad to not see the parents of the shooters taken into that fold and hugged as well. I cannot imagine how devastated they must have been to learn their kids did that. So much pain for everyone. Glad to see some healing has taken place.
I hate how people remember the shooters more than the victims 😔
The shooters themselves were victims too
@@sp4ceinv4derz22 they all need equal remembrance
anyone notice the camera interference when the first victim started talking? Paranormal investigators say that this happens when theres paranormal activity going on.
Columbine does not want to admit that the school is haunted
horsmiep I’d honestly be more surprised if it wasn’t haunted....
@@lovejoydoll615 same if the school itself does not admit it then they are hiding something
then a hospital is paranormal?
@@LeechWoman some hospitals are haunted
13:57 Craig Scott testimony. Negate negative by focus on the good..
God Bless everyone and their strength and courage.
Many years and many tears. Heaven for the victims...there are no words only prayers for the family members 🙏❤.
What’s sad is they’ll never get to see a graduation wish things could change I was 6yrs old when this happened /:
Not just graduation….career, home, family of their own, grandchildren, travel…old age…
Thank you Anne Trujillo❤ Hugs🤗 from #davesandersstepdaughter 😇
God bless you, Cindy. Sending you and your family so much love and peace from Cambodia!
@@michaelstrahan2.0 🤗 Thank you.✌
Dave Sanders is a fucking hero!! He saved hundreds of kids lives that day but payed with his own, Hope the school eventually devotes a wing to him. The Dave Sanders Wing
I like rachel scott's father saying to his daughter's gravesite say
I leaned over and whispered i wonder what life would be like in 20 yrs.
That made me cry.
It’s nice to see the entire Columbine community coming together like close family. Then again, it’s not surprising seeing what they went through.
I've watched several things about this, and the most prominent word is... COMMUNITY. Great people, I wish you all the best.
Lauren seemed like a really cool girl💯
We want them to be remembered and honored rather than mourning,
I think I remember her brother saying that he and Rachel had a quarrel that morning. Anyway, that’s a great lesson. Tell people you love them even after a verbal fight. ♥️💕♥️
Kyle Velasquez really upsets me, as he was apparently very special needs and had no clue what was going on.
This gives me goosebumps. Bout made me cry when he said his daughter is frozen at 17 yrs old
daniel's father wearing his shoes hit me hard
God bless us all 🙏
I'll never forget this day, my deepest prayers go out to EVER single family member and friends of the victims of this horrible tragedy, and may all the victims continue to RIP!!!😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
Are they in the library?????
The new one
I truly send my condolences to all the families that lost their young children and to the family who lost the teacher Dave S. No one should be forgotten! It should also be recognized how serious Mental Illness is. Never take it lightly. Gun control should be there most definitely! People who are Ill should never own or have access to a fire arm.... PERIOD!!!! LIFE IS SHORT!!!! INTERVENTION is key.
They would all be the same age as me or a year older. I watched the news in disbelief that day. I still feel sad for everyone!
Lucy Belcher Was bullying common among people your age growing up? or was it just columbine higu that had a bullying epidemic.
April 20 1999 the day the world changed
Rip to all students and Eric and Dylan too. Always look for the causes and reasons for things happen and solve it. What Eric and Dylan did had a reason. If you find it then you can understand the whole point.
I still can't believe that it's been 20 years
Why are the first girl's parents both have different names from her?
Its LOSS and lack more than grief for people whose faith is in crisis. They don't even know this because their perception is clouded by the presence of death.
I know because I suffered in anguish of pain that i never ever want to feel so heartbroken or go through that ever again. Its like you feel like you can't breathe and your heart is being carved out of you as someone is squeezing all your blood out and you feel it burning through the capillaries all at the same time....you don't want to die too but its feels more like your dying but you don't want to..its just weird.
And what i mean by lack is ...you thought you could have done something to prevent it from happening. 😭 You get stuck on that. I'm much better now. Prayer and reflection got me off of that hamster wheel of guilt.
I'm so confused why someone would thumbs down this!? People are messed up!
You’re so strong everyone, I hope you can see that
Beautiful And Bravous Families...
2 crazy boys killed 13 times, Innocence; Humanity and Childhood...
This tragedy is a lesson for All.
I crying for victims.
Real heros dont wear capes
Wait. It sounded like they were talking about the shootings taking place in the library they were in. I thought that the library where the shootings took place was completely removed - it was located over the cafeteria so they just removed the library floor and opened the cafeteria up to a two story height - and that the current library was added as a brand new room off one side of the building?
Condolences ❤😢
Please accept everyone...
No one person knows the other truly
Please accept
Empathy
True friends
Please stop bullying...it's worth fixing those who bully
😥
See something? Say something! Treat your brother and sister as equal. All of your fellow students who may not be in your life now, might show up later. The guy who bullied you, you might save his life down the road. You never know what cards life is going to deal to you. Nobody has to go down the road Eric and Dylan did, what they did was dumb. They couldn't even get building a bomb right and one of them was withdrawing off meds and should have been in treatment. This incident should not be blamed on gun control but on apathy towards mental illness and the snub nosed oppressive mentalities that come in living in middle/rural America. Middle/Rural American culture is dangerous, oppressive, and can force into seclusion, drugs or crime. Middle America only values working/laborious people, they have no creative, gifted, special needs, LGBT, etc. MIddle Ameican culture does not care for that. And that reflects in your schools, where those who are the children of those who obeyed Rural culture get to thrive, and of those who didn't they suffer. The American system encourages us to violate our own civil liberties to engage in discrimination involving employment, housing, medical, mental health, color, etc. all of these things you see in the youth, is hidden and made worse than policies and laws by adults....
America is a lie. America created columbine. There were shootings worse than if not far more deadlier than Columbine and they occurred afterwards. America creates its own problems. The fact that we DID DO NOTHING means that this 20 year anniversary is....kinda weak.
These people are healing and know many involved have come back and are healing still
This is what happens when you mix sociopaths with “yo, it’s my civil right to buy firearms as easily as if they were gums”!
11:18 second part..
This school still exists?
Yes.
M Detlef Different counties have different people governing them. When one has a vote that supports keeping the school, they do. When the other votes to tear it down, they do. We see this all the time.
Only parts still stand
Yes, it is still there today.
@@travelguyable do you study there?
I think Daniel could have become President. I think he had the drive and wisdom to be President.
16:16 survivor
I remember this can't believe it's 20 yrs ago, holy fuk Im old... Anyhow I don't find lauren's mother lookalike...its like me and my 2 kids, some say wow she looks like u etc. My daughter is 3 she's a cancer survivor. As of March 4th.....tom check ur RUclips!!!

Guns don't kill, people kill.
15:26
Kinda eerie that Lauren's parents are sitting on a place similar to where Lauren was killed. Next to the armchairs to the left of the detectors on the entrance.
"those two"
TWO LORDS OF THE HARVEST
Oh look, it's the sisters cousins acquaintance of someone who went to columbine. Can't wait to hear what she has to say.
at 10secs, that is presumptuous, some of them might not have even lived to their 30s
At @1:49 those 90's boot cut jeans on the both of them are a statement piece, wow.
FANTASTIC JOB!!!
We love you guys, you are so strong and people around the world think about you and your children today and forever.
