My only brother worked for Marsh & McClellan. On a last minute whim, he and four other attorneys decided to fly to Houston for depositions on the night of the 10th, missing that morning meeting. They were the only survivors. He was devastated.
I had to RELISTEN to Jim's story OVER AGAIN to TRULY understand HOW POWERFUL his story of His Brother is!!! WOW!!! Thank You, Jim- STAY WELL (You'll NEVER Walk Alone)
Every year or so, I come onto RUclips and look up everything 9/11 all over again. I find myself traumatized by the images and stories every time. But I keep coming back. We must never forget. 💗🙏
I've watched most of these now and this one just stands apart. I promise you Jim that Joe will not be forgotten and that your story made an enormous impact. Thank you.
Twenty years later and I’d still like to help I just don’t know what or how but I do know that I will make sure my grandson doesn’t forget!!!! I will never forget ! 🥀❤️😢🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Your brother Joe will never be forgotten and did not die in vain, your story has touched me and lives across the world, across the years and will always, love triumphed even through such unbearable pain. God Bless you and Joe 🙏 from New Zealand.
Jim's story about his brother Joe and Jim himself really blew my mind. I've watched a lot of these and every story is compelling, but this one went right to the quick.
Good Lord Jim tells a story better than most pro movie voice over / narrators. I could physically see every frame of his experience in my minds eye and his brothers face at the end forms the final image as the credits would roll. I cried like a baby. What a lesson in the power of Humanity and human connection. ❤️🩹
I read the CNN bios of all those lost on that horrific day. I needed to pay tribute to each victim who were simply living their life when they were senselessly murdered. Sending prayers to the loved ones of each precious person for continued strength and healing. 🙏🏻
RAY.. I AM SO SAD TO HEAR THIS STORY.. YOU DO HAVE A NICHE.. YOU PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS ARE AWESOME.. BARBARBA.. IS IN HEAVEN.. BELEIVE ME... GOD BLESS YOU ..RAY
The second story is so classic of PTSD. I admire him so much for sharing his story. I'm so glad he resolved things internally to some extent. I'll remember his brother Joe, as well as Ray and his story about his wife,from this video. 💗
I will remember. Thank-you for sharing these deeply personal stories. With tears running down my face, I thank you both. May God continue to bless you.
Can someone please speak on battalion Chief NYCFD battalion 7 Orio Palmer and what he did on the day of 9/11? I saw how courageous he was in a CBS documentary of 9/11. If you don’t know his name please look him up. He is an amazing firefighter who gave his life to save innocent civilians. A true hero!!
I wondered how they presented the remains to those that actually wanted to see them. This is the first video in this series I've seen that addressed that. What a tough proposition to consider the forces at work that day, in that most people recovered were blown apart in the attack events and/or pulverized in the tower collapse that day. As the host said, people really do wonder about things like that, so it was a big, personal share to make to a room of strangers.
I’m sure the families hope their loved one didn’t suffer; that it was quick. Like Ray said, his wife was at point of entry on the 99th floor and that’s all they recovered of her so he can hope it was quick. I can’t imagine what people trapped above faced. My mind can’t go there. But to know that people chose to jump rather than face the fires inside, it’s unfathomable and breaks my heart.
I was a friend. . ..and a neighbor, but I don't think that counts. With HIS family, it makes sense, but not mine. I would want my friends there as much as family because my family has so many issues with narcissism and I was a foster child; she wasn't my real mother and he wasn't my real dad, but suddenly we were "family?" That's one reason I think someone can definitely choose family. You choose your spouse too. That must be what Eric meant when he said you can think of some friends as family and that some friends are better than family.

thank goodness he made the decision he did. best wishes to you and him
Im sorry for his loss. Im praying for him ❤
I had to RELISTEN to Jim's story OVER AGAIN to TRULY understand HOW POWERFUL his story of His Brother is!!! WOW!!! Thank You, Jim- STAY WELL (You'll NEVER Walk Alone)
What a wonderful man Jim is. His story had me in tears. He spoke so profoundly. God bless him and all the other victims of 911.
I am speechless. That was utterly profound and beautifully told
This guys story about the mountain is one of the best stories I've ever seen on this.
Agreed!
Every year or so, I come onto RUclips and look up everything 9/11 all over again. I find myself traumatized by the images and stories every time. But I keep coming back. We must never forget. 💗🙏
Me too. Thanks for helping me not feel crazy
I have watched many of these stories, and my heart aches for all of them, but this one had me in tears. God bless you all...
It was pretty amazing that he got a few pieces of his wife back when she had been in the 99th floor! Very humbling to listen to these stories.
Who could dislike these videos?
All of you survivors are American heroes. God Bless 🇺🇸
I've watched most of these now and this one just stands apart. I promise you Jim that Joe will not be forgotten and that your story made an enormous impact. Thank you.
Twenty years later and I’d still like to help I just don’t know what or how but I do know that I will make sure my grandson doesn’t forget!!!!
I will never forget !
🥀❤️😢🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Out of all the stories I heard so far, Jim's story about his brother really hit home. God bless you all!
Your brother Joe will never be forgotten and did not die in vain, your story has touched me and lives across the world, across the years and will always, love triumphed even through such unbearable pain. God Bless you and Joe 🙏 from New Zealand.
I have heard many of these talks and they all hit me deeply. This one however, hit me a little deeper. Thank you Judith, Ray and Jim.
I know how you feel i googled there names an read there tributes from their families so sad
SAME. I am shattered right now, and I believe, wholeheartedly that I will never forget Mr. Giacconi 🙏 rip
Jim's story about his brother Joe and Jim himself really blew my mind. I've watched a lot of these and every story is compelling, but this one went right to the quick.
Yes! I'm squalling. His story was so powerful and profound. He's an amazing story teller. I'll never forget.
Now that I hear your story, your brother will never ever be forgotten, as long as this video exists millions will remember him...
So devastating still 19 years later. Never forget.
Judith is such a wonderful facilitator.
Good Lord Jim tells a story better than most pro movie voice over / narrators. I could physically see every frame of his experience in my minds eye and his brothers face at the end forms the final image as the credits would roll. I cried like a baby. What a lesson in the power of Humanity and human connection. ❤️🩹
Thank you for posting ❤ Never Forget
I'm about to cry listening about the story of Joseph Michael. What an amazing speaker this man is. God bless!
Ray is a lovely person.....
I read the CNN bios of all those lost on that horrific day. I needed to pay tribute to each victim who were simply living their life when they were senselessly murdered. Sending prayers to the loved ones of each precious person for continued strength and healing. 🙏🏻
Where did you find those bios...?
Wonderful presenter, so sorry for your loss
RAY.. I AM SO SAD TO HEAR THIS STORY.. YOU DO HAVE A NICHE.. YOU PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS ARE AWESOME.. BARBARBA.. IS IN HEAVEN.. BELEIVE ME... GOD BLESS YOU ..RAY
So sweet how Ray has a photo of his wife in his hand. Jim’s story is amazing too. God bless you both ❤️❤️
Never, ever, ever will I EVER FORGET!
I love hearing the stories I did not know anyone that was there
The second story is so classic of PTSD. I admire him so much for sharing his story. I'm so glad he resolved things internally to some extent. I'll remember his brother Joe, as well as Ray and his story about his wife,from this video. 💗
Very powerful stories. Thank you so much for sharing the most tragic day of your lives. I will always remember your stories and your loved ones.
Thank You Ray & Jim
So touching. Almost 20 years later...these stories made 9/11 even more real for me than when I watched the original footage the day it happened.
I will remember. Thank-you for sharing these deeply personal stories. With tears running down my face, I thank you both. May God continue to bless you.
Well said Barbie and I am crying and feeling the same !!!
May God bless you all!💕🙏🏻💕

Thank you both for sharing your stories.

Man, Jim's story was hard.
Judith, we want to hear your story of September 11th.
Thank you for sharing. Your family members will not be forgotten. May God comfort you
We will not forget. These stories are heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing. I am so deeply sorry for your loss!

Truly remarkable people

Thank you for taking the time to share your stories.
Thank you both for sharing. Heartbreaking day.
May God bless you all
I cant imagine being handed a few small pieces of your loved one. Awful
I wondered how they presented the remains to those that actually wanted to see them. This is the first video in this series I've seen that addressed that. What a tough proposition to consider the forces at work that day, in that most people recovered were blown apart in the attack events and/or pulverized in the tower collapse that day.

Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your stories 🙏 ❤️
I can't believe 9/11 happened and we still don't have answers for family members.
Wow they only found a little over 100 intact bodies 😢😢😢😢
Judith does an amazing job
Ray's story is crazy, if they gave me pieces of my wifes body, I was absolutely lose my shi and never recover
Wow....
It’s good to hear other stories. Almost every 9/11 documentary tells the exact same handful of stories.
❤️
I was a friend. . ..and a neighbor, but I don't think that counts. With HIS family, it makes sense, but not mine. I would want my friends there as much as family because my family has so many issues with narcissism and I was a foster child; she wasn't my real mother and he wasn't my real dad, but suddenly we were "family?" That's one reason I think someone can definitely choose family. You choose your spouse too.
That must be what Eric meant when he said you can think of some friends as family and that some friends are better than family.
That man is a real embarrassment to his brother!!! So sad
Please interview Stanley praimnath and brian Clark in ur show
6:51
Lest we forget the victims of 9/11
WHY CANT THIS JUDITH TALK LOUDER !!!ANNOYING
@alicia baldwin what is wrong with you
Judith needs to talk less...obnoxious
