As someone born after 2001 hearing the stories of all the Canadians helping and taxing Americans to their families throughout the event and the weeks after always warms my heart to know we have good friends up north.

When 9/11 happened I was in kindergarten, living in Queens New York. I remember the sheer chaos as everyone tried to contact everone else, and my mom picking me up and taking me home. I remember the TV showing the clouds of dust and smoke billow forth. That's my memory of the day.
I was about 7 years old when this terrible day happened. I was on the floor drawing tanks, attack helicopters and soldiers in front of the tv as my parents were watching the news. I don’t think I understood what was happening I looked up and saw the tower’s smoking. Then my brother walked in the room he’s about 4 years older then me. He saw the towers collapsed and said “wow that movie must be expensive?” Then my dad said not in anger but in response just correcting him “it’s not a movie it’s bloody real…”
Although I didn't live through 9/11, hearing the stories of people thinking it was some avant-garde disaster movie makes me think of Family Guy when Peter Griffin didn't understand 9/11 until years later.
I was just a baby when the Towers and the Pentagon were hit. Being a baby I don't remember any of it but I was an American who later grew up overseas due to the nature of the jobs of my parents, I later came to learn and study the event and how in some ways my childhood and later life was influenced by these same attacks. In my early 20's now, but these events changed the course of history for so many more who were innocent of such crimes, just look at Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria to see the consequences of our actions.
As an american, I was born in 99' I remember very little of that day. But when I did start studying about what happened that day the gravity of it hit me. While I do have sympathy for those who died. I feel worse for the MILLIONS we killed in the aftermath.
I saw the second plane hit live. I will always remember that day Me, my brother and my partner at the time were watching some daytime TV and all of a sudden it switched to the event. At first I thought the channel had mucked up and put some crappy low.quality disaster movie on. And we switched over and saw the same thing on all the channels. It was a very surreal experience and I will never forget it.
My 9/11 story is underwhelming compared to others. I had just started my second year of High School and didn't hear about what happened until I got home. The images of the planes crashing, the buildings collapsing and the billowing dust cloud engulfing anything and everything round it, haunted my nightmares for years afterwards. They would be either seeing planes crashing into tall skyscrapers, burning buildings collapsing or me being unable to breath in the choking dust clouds
I was 11 years old. I remember a terse announcement at lunchtime in school about a plane crash in New York, and that was it. The only other thing that stood out about the day was just before the last class, when a huge sonicboom rocked the school from a pair of fighter jets enforcing the country wide no-fly order. Then when I got home, my mom met me at the door with a look on her face like someone had shot her dog. My kid sister and I spent the next 5 hours glued to the news. I don't think we've ever really recovered.
To think i was born around two months after this event. I was in a womb when this event happened. Dad said when he went into Chicago, the city was a ghost town during or after this event.
I don't know about you, but I feel that no other single event in the past 40 years, has had such a world wide impact. It was a shock, the waves of which are still shaking us on so many different aspects of life.
I was just a year old when the attacks happened in fact my Uncle and two Aunts were there that day. When they came back both were covered in dust and debris from the towers collapsing.
The thing i remember best from sept 11, 2001 is being confused why i was being picked up early from school then learning about it at home from the news. I had just started second grade weeks before
9/11 really changed the world didn't it. I had only turned 7 year old 2 days before it, and my only memory of which was being in school (in the UK) with our teacher trying to explain events in a kid-friendly way, I suppose. Barely remember what she said, but just that it was a big deal
I don't know where I was when 9/11 happened because I was born in the year 2000. I was 1 year and a few months old when it happened. But since learning of the event as I grew up, all I can say is that my heart goes out to those who died that day and their families and friends. May they rest in peace.
I was 6... In 1st grade... My teacher told us ... But we were children... We didn't really get it... It took time for the magnitude of it to settle in... Even today it still feels surreal to me like Something about it... And the age which i was when it happened... Just makes it feel unreal
14:58 And ofcourse the city of "Friends"! I actually remember myself (I was 19 at the time) thinking just a few months before the attack, "Hey its been quite a while since we heard anything about NY!" (either in real life or through a show/movie). I was feeling it had been forgotten during the last years of the 90's. And then this nightmare unraveled.
As a millennial, after Covid and once Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine, I officially bought a shirt that says “I’m really tired of living through these historical events” and it starts at 9/11
I was 1 going on 2 when 9/11 happened. I never knew or heard about it til I was 6 when I moved. Next door was an empty house and on the door was a newspaper article about 9/11 and it’s always stuck with me and will always remember that was my first time learning about it at a young age
I first heard about the Y2K Bug from Zak Wolf’s Let’s Play of the Click O Rama game B. Happy recently. I remember when I first heard about the 9/11 attacks when I came home from school that day, my mom was crying so much when she saw it on TV, she didn’t even answer the door when I got off the bus. When she finally answered the door, she showed me what happened on TV, & there it was, the Twin Towers were gone & in ruins. I told my mom that everything will be okay, & we went out to Cici’s Pizza for lunch.
I think everyone from the Millennial generation and older remembers where they were and what they were doing on 9/11. Well at least if you're an American you do. Nothing has done more to shape the last 20 years than that. And what came afterwards, the feeling of national unity and later the rage and need for vengeance... Gen Z and all the younger ones who come up in the future will read about it but they'll never really get it. They'll never feel it the way we did when it was unfolding in real time and we had no idea what was going to happen next. Left a collective scar like the JFK assassination did to the Boomers.
We watched a few minute documentary in school about 9/11. It showed recordings of some of the people saying their goodbyes from the planes and the buildings. Some girls in the class started crying when it happened
It seems we are the same age. I was 12 and in the school library when the radio news started. Maybe about 10am? Without actually seeing it, none of us really reacted. Not untill the school librarian started to cry. That's when we thought "oh fuck, this must be bad" School actually just carried on as usual (Scotland) and when I got home my step dad was watching it on CNN. I remember sitting down and not moving or speaking for about an hour. Feels like a lifetime ago now.
I was 3 years old when it happened and my family was stationed in Germany installation here when it happened. I didn't have a good memory of it because of how young i was. I do remember learning about it when i was a young at 12 or 13 i learned about 9/11 at my school that talks about the history of the terrorist attacks.
I was born in December of 2000 just 9 months before 9/11 attacks (give or take ) so I don’t remember the event but I did tell my sister about it since she was alive at the time and she said that It was scary especially since that my sister, alone with my parents just got to NYC about 5 months before having me
What's sad is that 9.11 was not the first/last time the Twin Tower's were at risk. Originally in 1997 a van bomb was set off in the parking garage next to a support beam.
I remember I was in forth grade walking in the principal's office to drop off papers for my teacher and seeing a TV with them on fire not knowing what I was looking at, and being tolled to get back to class because they didn't want the students too see it. Wasn't until mom picked up my sister and I after did she told us what happened.
So much media that came out after 9/11 had to change parts of the product or flat out cancelled. The spider man movie and game had to to be changed. MGS 2 had to change the ending cause they were heading to Manhattan. A cartoon called Maximum pain got cancelled cause in the pilot episode a blimp got caught between 2 towers and aired a few days before 9/11. On top of that 9/11 change the realm of gaming cause the Nazis were the bad guy but over night the middle east became the go to bad guy. It's just sad
Gotta correct you John. The Y2K bug WAS a real thing. The US government spent Billions basically updating every computer system it had so it wouldn't go haywire. On January 1st, 2000 a few lines of code and some phone lines dropped but were brought back online with hours. If they hadn't spent the money to update their systems, it could have been catastrophic. Not End of the World catastrophic but serious problems catastrophic
9.11 The day Freedom, Privacy, and Decency died. We would declare a pointless invasion which threw a region of the world into a perpetual hellscape of war.. In heaven do the victims weep. For what was done, and what we did.
I don’t know how to say this or what people think about my comment but, to me, to remember 9/11 Is impossible. I just recently turn into an adult, born post 9/11. The event was more history than memory.
To be fair, the Y2K bug would have broken a lot of stuff if a lot of people hadn't worked really hard to make sure it didn't. But at the same time... most of what would've broken would have been banking systems. Hard to say if it's good that it didn't break.
Further, what we ought to have done was the opposite of what we did. We ought to have invested in schools and hospitals and infrastructure in the region after having the mujahadeen fight our proxy war. We ought to have not fought a proxy war there in the first place. Going to war was definitely not the right response. The things we should have done 20 years before, we could have done belatedly. We could have admitted our original fault and humbled ourselves instead of continuing the feud.
The 2000s were a fresh page and 9/11 was the first writing that defined the rest of the book.
Very tumultuous, much more than 2010s
More like that Age of War game dominated.
Never forget... Canada stands with their American brothers and sisters, especially in troubling times, we stand together forever
🇨🇦 ❤ 🇺🇸
Thank you Canadians❤️
I couldn't imagine any country I'd rather have the world's longest border with. I love Canada in return.
I know we annoy each other, but I also know We are lucky to have Canada as a neighbor

Genocidal, Colonial states support eachother, no surprise here.
R.I.P to all those people who died.
Well. The good thing is: The price was payed.
No sympathy for those so called victims, what about the thausands murdered and millions terrorized by the American Empire through it's War of Terror.

6 for me. Born 1995
I was only a year old.
Was 11. Freaky thing for me that day was in St. Louis children’s hospital. Long story short was about a week before my brain surgery. Had a brain AVM.
Although I didn't live through 9/11, hearing the stories of people thinking it was some avant-garde disaster movie makes me think of Family Guy when Peter Griffin didn't understand 9/11 until years later.
I was born 1 year after 9/11, I’m 19 and have only ever lived in the “new” world you describe
Thanks form the US! Thanks especially for dedicating a whole video!
I was just a baby when the Towers and the Pentagon were hit.

“Couple thousand people die on live tv and life didn’t get much better after that” that was spoken from the soul. I get it man
Rest in peace the humans who died in 9/11 2001
Rest in peace to everyone who died on that day

if you were watching CNN, you saw the second tower get hit live. I watched it while eating some grape nuts before school in 3rd grade.
14:58 And ofcourse the city of "Friends"!

My grandfather was working in an auto shop at the time. He worked in downtown Brooklyn, said that the whole street was covered in rubble and ash.

There was a flyby in honor of 9/11 except I feel it wasn’t really a good idea to fly planes as honor

2001 was a rough year and we truly have lost
I fall into that weird age range of having been alive when it happened, but was too young to actually "get" what had happened.

It’s kinda like when Halifax exploded
Only 7 times less the little boy explosion
