R.I.P The brothers
Thank you for this. I was one of the firefighters of Engine 79 on September11. I have seen this, but never had a copy. Almost 17 years later, still raw emotion. Rest easy, brothers, until we meet again...
Thank you for everything you do
Darren - I salute you. Thank God for the brave men & women of the FDNY and all across America.
Darren thank you
Darren thank your for everything you did and do bro. God bless you
Darren thank you for what you do man
My uncle died during this as a firefighter and after the towers collapsed they were searching for survivors but didn’t find my uncle the only thing left of him was his firefighter helmet and I have it hanging up in my room
Sorry but those towers, all 3 didn't collapse, look how they turned to DUST and most of the people inside were evaporated. In a collapse all bodies would have been recovered
Respects to him for being so brave
I lost 25 friends and 3 were first responders. And I also lost 6 relatives in Auschwitz, Treblinka and Majdanek. I wear a tattoo number on my arm, to remind myself, I am a survivor.
God bless your father and you 😢
God bless your uncle
RIP to my cousin Sammy Oitice...Ladder 4...Love the FDNY
Dee Brown RIP to your cousin. Good bless . Never forget
Isn't that the truck in the museum that was smashed in the front?
@@friedpicklecheese no it's ladder 3 that's in the museum
@@Clemmys Oh Yeah, My bad. Close though.
The world can never repay the debt it owes its first responders may your cousin RIP and may your family find comfort in knowing he was doing what most people only dream of that day and that’s saving lives 👍🏼

Dam that's alot
Thank you for sharing this. I want to share it to if thats ok.
@@teresanolivo4075 ok
God bless you for taking the time to share all there names, I knew one personally.
I cannot count how many documentarys I have watched for 9/11
Do you have a playlist? Most of them only focus on part of it. I would like to see one that covers the whole operation and what we know about the planning.
Most have been removed
Same
I search and watch for answers. For understanding.

We are still losing heroes because of the tragedy of 9/11/2001. Whether they died that day or years or decades later because of resulting illnesses, we remember and honor them always. America owes you, WE WILL NOT FORGET God Bless You All.
AMERICAN GIRL and congress failed to fund the medical treatment fund again. Pitiful.
@M Detlef Wow. How do you know that?
Dude you are out of line.
@M Detlef not hurting me a bit.
AMERICAN GIRL - I can’t believe they risked all those lives to uncover dead bodies only to lose thousands more. That’s senseless.
"The medical examiner told us that our son's body was intermingled with a female body. It looks either he was protecting her, or carrying her"
That.. is the most interesting story, we never get to hear about, that we SHOULD be hearing about...
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Your son was a hero 🙏❤
@@lenaagnello2854 er... you misread my comment.. I dont have a son :)
@@The_Deaf_Aussie i realized that later into the documentary you were quoting someone. Lol hahaha
@@lenaagnello2854 lol.. oops :) it happens to me sometimes as well.. haha
time stamp?
I wave at every firetruck that passes, ever since 9/11. I am all the way from Québec, Canada. You run in when we run out. You are heroes, wherever you are. Thank you for your service❤
My thanks to the people of Canada for their willingness to help their American brothers and sisters in a time of extreme emergency. 🇺🇲❤️🇨🇦
M Detlef Most of them are volunteers.
I definitely, and greetings from BC, Canada.
@LC Watkins You realize Canada actually provided aid when all your airports were shut down minutes after the World Trafe Centre was hit
@LC Watkins And you would know how? It's your battles, we assist you if you need it. If it's our battles, then request for assistance. Something called NORAD..
I remember this, was filmed by a good friend of mine, Paul Berriff, I was a former Lifeboat Crewman Paul had founded in the UK, at the time this was filmed I was serving in the British Forces, en-route to Cyprus, had no idea what events had taken place until we landed, shocked to the core was all I can say.
Proud to have served along with the US 🇺🇲🇬🇧💪 Brothers in Arms
Who ever puts a thumb down for this video should be ashamed of yourself !!!
Zach Marble Keep in mind they may not be disliking the video they may be Hitting dislike because of the circumstances
HUGE MAMMOTH 13.627 INCH PENIS shut the hell up moron
I agree. We all know how accepting of their fellow gay firemen the NYFD is. They’re the best!
I believe and hope the thumbs down are for not portraying the facts around what we know today what we did not know on that day. I live down in Philly and I am just an ordinary American and that day still affects me, so I can't even imagine how a New Yorker feels and on top of that a New York Fireman would feel ..... I will NEVER FORGET !!!!!!!!!!! MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tyler Corbin the last vagina he obliterated was the one his mother pushed him out of smh 🤦🏻♂️
My father is a firefighter here in Canada, he’s seen a lot of shit that no one should ever have to see, I’m proud of him and all the other amazing first responders around the world. It’s funny, as I was watching this, he came into the room and told me he had to go because of a medical first responders call
I was stationed on the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy when this attack happened. We were on our way to do some sea quals for the airwing to get ready for our next cruise. I was cleaning the First class Petty Officer berthing and watching CNN. We were close enough to still get signal. I watched both towers fall. After the second tower fell, We had a ship wide muster at our respective shops. The CO came on the 1MC and told us what had happened. He told us that we were going to sit off the east coast for a while. We were there for about 40 days. We kept aircraft ready to launch. Our pilots were told to drop any aircraft that entered our airspace. While I cannot begin to understand the loss you witnessed being on scene. I am proud to have been serving with you from the ocean. I consider the first responder family my brothers and sisters. I tell officers as often as I can that we're on the same mission at different levels. Your fallen comrades memories will live on.
I love you for your service brothers and sisters in uniform!!!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T and THANK YOU!
You sound like a good Man...
Any aircraft? Shame you weren't given that order before it happened by your incompetent President Bush, who knew an attack was imminent.
@@ryand141 this isn't about who did what or any political issue , it's about remembering and honoring the fallen . Gotta put that shit aside , it's like war , these guys are just the troops doing their job . Take vietnam , or Afghanistan, they weren't there for politics , they were there to serve like these fire fightsers police and medics .
And Thank you for your service! God bless you!
18 years later and I still tear up on 9/11. I will never forget. I watched as the 2nd plane hit, not believing what I was watching on tv. I kept telling myself it wasn't real, that I was dreaming. I watched as both towers collapsed, in total shock. I will never forget, my heart goes out to everyone who died that day. To the brave frist responders who never made it home. Never forget their sacrafice and bravery. To all who lost their lives that day, you will never be forgotten. God Bless America.
Me too, I lost many friends that day, I ended up assisting on a ferry being an EMT from Atlantic Highlands bringing people out of Manhattan as there was a triage center set up at the ferry terminal all local doctors were there accessing all that came off the boat, I rode that ferry for almost 72 hours catching a couple z'ss on the way back to N.Y. I remember it like it was yesterday and now being 44 years old I would do it again.
That was way too dramatic for no reason, you sound like Mr. America.
Firefighters are a special breed. HUGE RESPECT! My uncle was a commander in the fire department. He retired last year and for us he's a hero. Don't know how many lives he saved, but it must have been a lot. Thank you for your service you all!You are all heroes! We cannot thank you enough!
Alex Postma yes! Thank you!
They’re a lot better than police officers. You never hear about firefighters murdering anyone.
*XGames & 2000’s Hip Hop* You only hear about police “murdering” someone because media and different groups with a narrative to push TELL you what to think.

I'm from Dublin Ireland and I can still remember where I was on that day and what I was doing. I was 19 at the time and I will never forget that day.
I was 19 too. That day was one of the scariest days of my life. I watch these videos every year around the anniversary of 9/11. It seems unreal that next year it will be 20 years already.
Thats where the school shooting was right? If yes im so sorry for all the little ones gone
Jess me what were you doing that day ?
I was 19 too from Canada
@@abulchowdhury5064 I was playing PlayStation in my friends house and he went to get sum snacks because it was lunch time in Ireland paused the game and changed the channel while he got the food and the first plane just hit and looking at the TV and seen the 2nd hitting. I can't forget
Tommy dunn engine 240 im seeing this years laterl. I am one of the firefighters in the video. I was there with john winkler, Darren Jacobs, mike murry , pat Sullivan, myself and Lt. Auciello. if the buildings held up just a couple more seconds and none of us would be here. god bless all the brothers
td fireman 🚒 god bless you ❤️
❤
Tommy Dunn, thank you for trying to save every last living soul and then thank you for trying to bring home every lifeless soul. I can’t give enough thanks. I’ll never ever forget this day.
Thank you for doing everything that you could.
td fireman we all appreciate you very much!! also i saw darren in the comment section as well.
“…but for many of them, this would be their last alarm…”
those words hit hard
What a moving documentary. For almost 18 years, I’ve been in awe of these people, even though I’m from the opposite side of the world. The scale of what happened that day and the bravery which followed is still unfathomable to me.
Yeah as an Austrailian I could never imagine this.
These frontline workers like Police, EMT, and Firefighters knew that they could loose there life at any moment but they still went into the building to help others. That is true heroism.
A few years ago, I was at a classic car museum in New South Wales, Australia. Among classic Ferraris, Porsches and Mercs, there was a single fire engine. I was confused as to why it was there. One of the people who worked there said it was one of the fire engines from 9/11. That was one of the only things I remembered from that experience. Absolutely incredible.
We love australia✌👍👌
RIP Orio Palmer and all who we lost that day..
Jay Daum, Orio made it to the 78th floor. I read his story in a book . He sounded like a great guy. So sorry for your loss and all the firefighters.

liar
Every year around this time I watch documentaries because I genuinely never want to forget that day. I want my future children to know about this event even though they’ll never know what we experienced
Me too. I never want to forget that day, and the country will never forget that day. Throughout our history the evil enemies of our country have always estimated our resolve to bring them to justice and that good triumphs over evil. We will never forget.
Fuggedaboutit
Same here! Our children need to know.
Thank you for doing that. I always watch Pearl Harbor on December 7 and D Day on June 6. Just so those men and women won’t be forgotten. We lost so many on D Day and at Pearl Harbor.
When that tower collapsed.... the sound.... the speed... everyone immediately started running.
I was not expecting that when I watched it rest in peace to all there that day
@@Turkiye958I didn’t either 😢
I remember watching everything that day and after the collapse of both towers all you heard on the news was the chirping sounds from the device that the firefighters wear when one of them is down. Just knowing that the sound meant man down and that's all you could hear just hundreds of them going off over and over. Never forget
The noise was also sirens that were being clogged by debris. There was 80% of nyc emergancy vehicles down there.
Omg I know! I was 10 when it happened and I still to this day remember that terrible chirping sound. Any time I think of 9/11 I start to hear it in my head 😖 Man what frightening day that was.
Locator beacon
Yes. When people ask "what's the creepiest sound you've heard?" it must be this and jumpers bumping on a roof.
@@akatopes1 80% of the Emergency Units were not down there…….. additionally it was the PASS devices you heard not sirens…….
My father just retired from being a Paramedic/Fire-Firefighter after 29 1/2 years of service. It was a sigh of relief when he was done. You would never know if he would have to go one day to a structure fire and maybe never come home.
One day, towards the end of his career he started crying out of fear of that very thing. That one day he would have to run into a burning building and have to save lives. He would do it but the thought scared him. He kept saying he was "to old" for this anymore. He would always talk about how when he was younger he would get the adrenaline highs of going on those calls, but when he got older and realized the danger and when he realized his body was getting older he was getting scared.
I'm so proud of the so many lives he has saved in his many, many years of dedicated service. I know he has saved at least hundreds of lives.
The entire New York Fire Department were heroes that day, along with Police, and First Responders. I live in Phoenix Arizona and was standing in my living room watching live on television as the second aircraft hit the second tower. Thousands died, but our country came together, thousands became heroes that day and days after. September 11th 2001 will never be forgotten!
Gregory Miller to everyone: United We Stand!
I so agree, our country really came together. I pray that the division we're facing now as a nation will end so we can remember that we're all in this together.
I had just gotten in the truck to go to DMAFB when I heard on the radio about the first plane. After it was told it was a commercial jet plane, I knew it was an attack. As I pulled in the gate I asked the SFS Airman if he'd heard anything about what eas going on in NY. He hadn't so I told him. I told him I had a fealing we were all fixn to get real busy. By the end of the day, 50 cals were gaurding the gate and less than a month later I was sitting in the desert.
@Gulzar Malik yep. I am that Freaking Awesome and heartless.
I live in Peoria arizona and heard that Phoenix Dept and Wisconsin went to help
I saw the list of Firefighters that they showed in the film near the beginning. The name was Patrick " Paddy " Brown one of the most decorated in the FDNY . As a Firefighter I looked at him as a Firefighters Firefighter. What a great loss, so many so fast
Rest in peace to all firefighters everywhere

My Grandpa as a Firefighter in Fort Worth Texas for 22 yrs. Firefighters will always have a special place in my heart. I remember this day like it was yesterday. Today is a day of remembrance. Here on 9-11-2020
RIP Michael Wholey PAPD, EoW: 9/11/01
This is an incredibly moving tribute that I have never heard of or watched. On this 20th anniversary of our National Tragedy, I wonder if this is a wound that our country can never leave behind, perhaps never recover from. Thank you to all of the brave, selfless heroes that fought, and died that day, thinking only of others, not themselves
I know I'll never recover from it. And I wasnt there, did not personally know anyone that died (although my uncle is an American airline flight attendant and another uncle lived in Chelsea Manhattan at the time, we got a call on 9/11 only a few hours after the second tower collapse saying or uncle the flight attendant was OK... how he could get on another flight after this ill never know) this hurts
No, we will never leave this behind. Never.
When I first watched 9/11 videos, I couldn't understand why all the firefighters were just standing around, watching the people jump to their death. I was angry. Today, I realize that there must have been so much confusion, fear, panic...Even though organization was urgent, how the heck do you get up there? Elevators not working, stairs blocked....you can only go up so far. The heat of it all must have been breath taking. The shock must have been parralizing. Trained to rescue people from fire yet not being able to get to them, must have been excruciatingly painful. The collaps of the towers, ending so many lives, is unbelievable. These men that did their best to save the victims, became victims themselves. And the ones who survived, were oblivious to the trauma that would haunt them from then on.
So I would like to apoligize for the anger and I would like to thank them, though "thank you" doesn't feel like it's enough. You are always in my prayers.

Well said
Our gear total weights easily 60 pounds, plus even more gear that we carry. Climbing 79 stories to the seat of the fire in that gear takes a lot of time. Yeah the firefighters were dying to help, and they couldn't do a single damn thing. Plus the ones outside of the tower watching were being staged for other work.
What's even worse is that some firefighters were killed by the jumpers. They had to pull the firefighters back.
It's was a nightmare beyond comprehension. The entire situation was a perfect storm of sheer impossibility combined with mind numbing horror.
Those 343 died climbing the stairs.
I hope that if I'm ever sent into something like that I'm brave enough to do it
2001 was so Innocent before 9/11 Rest In Peace everyone who died in those towers my dad who was running with the camera at 6:27 he survived that smoke kinda from getting inside a store.
That was your dad videoing?
Fr?
Tell your dad thank you, for the rare footage and risking his life for the footage
Got documentation of that? Surely you should be in posession of that footage.
He is a brave man, love him for the bravery he showed that day I'm glad he was lucky to survive. I send out my condolences to everyone who lost family..
From Pittsburgh, PA in 2019 I still care, still appreciate and value the sacrifice of the people who laid it all on the line that day.
Incredible respect. These guys are the ultimate heroes. I have huge respect for every fire fighter
Huge respect to all the firefighters,still remember the night,it was in Australia thought it was a movie.still hard too watch

One of the best fdny 911 documentaries made I remember seeing this documentary as a child on vhs and lost it thanks for uploading so I can see it again
Yes, amen. It is excellent.
The fires under the ruble continued to burn for 99 days. Unbelievable
Yeah nanothermite will do that.
I’m from Australia I saw this on the news that day im was shocked
I have respect for the nyfd they don’t stop with the calls all day
See this
All fire departments from New York I respect you
Same. I was in class when the teacher wheeled the tv in and put the news on
To Michael Lynch's broken hearted Dad: we all feel the loss but can't ever begin to come close to how you feel. I hope the commitment of the whole country to serving justice on the evil cowards who did this brings you some small measure of comfort.
Thank you for all our Service men and women do for our country in times of crisis. You are truly appreciated for your service. 😥🙏
I hope the best for every one ...mike you went above and beyond thank you an thank y'all for everything y'all done that day ...👍👍👍👍
Oh my god the 911 call from the firefighter stuck in the cab of the firetruck. The fear in his voice gave me chills. Man, that one hurt to hear 😞 I can't believe it's been almost 19 years ago
I think that was actually a civilian that ran into the truck to avoid the collapse
@@pzkpfw2310 it was. He can be heard on the FDNY dispatch calling for help
Yeah the guy sounds like a weasel
the guy trying to attend as many funerals as possible is the nicest man ever. i hope he didn’t attend all 343 because that is so traumatising.
From someone who went to about a hundred, it was impossible to attend all because many were happening at the same time. Many days I attended 3 funerals. Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
@@FD_Boss are you a firefighter?
@@superchatcat658 yes, I am, Thank you
Unbelievable how brave these first responders were that day. It's crazy how these guys went up those towers without question
We always went straight up because no steel building could collapse on us, we knew we were safe, but we never knew they had those buildings wired for demo, that was what caught us out, we thought we were just fighting a fire.
@@barrymanulow4896 This is exactly what every fireman needs to get straight. Exactly what you say right here.
Of course they went in WTC2 without hesitation, they would NEVER have entered that building of they even remotely suspected it was gonna to have a collapse of some kind.
Ofcourse they didn't know that they were about to be blown up, so bad in fact that over 1000 bodies were completely gone, no dna left whatsoever. Just disappeared as a whole.
It's mindboggling...
@@barrymanulow4896 So you are a real firefighter from NYC who knows what did and did not happen that morning? Must be hard on you not being able to speak freely about this? Right?
@@sandervandenberg977 Anyone can spend a few weeks viewing countless video footage taken on the day of this tragedy and see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears what dozens of witnesses and firemen said was going on.
Explosions in and around the ground floors, and underneath in the basement levels. Phenomenon completely inconsistent with planes striking the 80th floor.
None of that has been explained and the investigation deliberately ignored it.
It matters little now because too much time has passed and soon enough all the witnesses will be dead and gone anyway. The truth has been buried.
@@barrymanulow4896 It does matter Barry. As long as you're alive it does. AE911Truth won't quit, and with hard work & determination they are finally getting things done. It is late, you're right about that, but it's never too late.
19 years today! This still breaks my heart to this day. I was 7 when this devastating moment occurred. I still remember seeing this and thinking what was happening. Years on, my heart still goes out to our brothers and sisters in America. Thinking of you all ❤️
11 months ago you commented this on 9/11 im typing this comment at 9:11 am. wow talk about timing.
As a Firefighter in Phila(Montco), My heart and prayers goes out to families of My fallen Brothers. In my house we shall honor ur lives by still responding.Rest easy bro!!
💕💕💕
Thank you so much for your service
Thank you from bucks county
I am still dying from crying even though 20 years and months later.. I can’t imagine those people inside and those people jumping for hope, so sad 😭
It will be 20 years in a few days
😥
Much love & respect from all of us here in England 🇬🇧 x👍🇺🇸
Thank you friend and all that helped serve during the years that followed.
Thank you and thanks to your government for playing our National Anthem and flying our flag over Buckingham Palace in acknowledgement of our loss.
May our two Nations continue to "stand shoulder-to-shoulder." 🇺🇲🇬🇧
I’m English
Brothers forever
So sorry for the loss of all these first responders; firefighters, police, port authority and others, including our military who went to war because of this senseless crime.
My uncle was in tower two when the plane hit he was in the lobby, Before the plane hit everyone was trying to go down because they realized what happened to tower 1, But the port authority was telling everyone building 2 is secure and to go back to your office, If those people knew what had happened in tower 1, They would not have gone back up, But they did not know what was gonna happen, On 9:03, My uncle made it out of tower two, He was in the lobby when the plane hit, He speaks about walking out of tower 2 and looking outside to see the bodys of jumpers, He also talked about looking up and seeing people jump. It was a sad day. a lot of people were not a fortunate as my uncle, And we remember them,🥺
I’ve watched this every year around 9/11 for several years.
Thanks to all the fire professionals who have served our National communities for over 200 years.
Thank you thank you Chief taking the opportunity to make this video you're in the brothers be safe and the 27th battalion be safe.
This has been appearing in my RUclips feed for awhile and I haven't been able to watch it until now. This was very powerful and incredibly moving. Almost 20 years later, please may we never forget!!
I was in elementary school when this happened and watched the 2nd plane hit the WTC on live tv. Many years later I'm now a Volunteer firefighter out of Maryland and on my Helmet I have a 343 Sticker on it and a Gone But Never forgotten Sticker. In memory of all the brothers and sister's who where lost on this tragic day. Thank you to all who put their life's on the line! they went in knowing they might not return to their families. You all maybe gone but your NEVER Forgotten!
Be safe brother.
@@FD_Boss thank you. You be same out there as well
PTSD....don't let it win...talk of your experiences let yourself revisit your trauma until it no longer pains you..until you can live with it as an experience that enhances your life..PTSD nearly killed me. But I got better i was a firefighter...every year I light a candle to all I saw die...they are part of me but we live together and they made me a better person. Even after this tragedy the world will always move forward so should you.
PTSD is the biggest killer.
I have PTSD from multiple traumas but particularly birth trauma. I talk about it all the time & communicate when I’m struggling. It’s a better choice than drinking which is sadly what my grandfather did after seeing his younger brother shot dead beside him in WWII. It’s a struggle now in the pandemic but one foot in front of the other, it’s the only way.
God bless you! One day at a time, that’s how we deal, one day at a time brutha.
Rest In Peace everyone I’m so glad I can learn about this through youtube.
truly one of the most meaningful and intensely emotional documentaries I have seen about 9/11. Wonderfully done. Thank You.
I knew I would ugly cry when I watched this. I needed some gratitude today. I got plenty from this! Thank you to our amazing firefighters and their families! ❤💔
In the UK, I remember this day so clear my mum shouting me to come & watch the news, we both sat & watched in horror at what was happening. Still so clear in my mind this & the day Princess Diana died stick out the most from my childhood. You fire fighters are true heroes thank you for your service & may everyone that lost their lives RIP you will never be forgotten for the heroes you are!
The worst part for me was the people falling heart wrenching they had no other option it’s so devastating even now almost 19 years later
God bless all the victims and heros that died on 9/11. My Grandfather was a firefighter so I definitely understand how much work they all put in from what I've heard from him and also seen🙏
Still tears my heart out 18 years later. These men and women didn’t die that day trying to save thousands of innocent lives. They were all murdered. Thank you to the brave first responders that day. RIP to all of those who lost their lives
We will never forget who did this. And yet, Saudi Arabia and the evil royals of that country that were indirectly behind this whole thing still curry favor with our politicians. To honor FDNY and NYPD we should cut all ties with Saudia Arabia and become truly energy independent across all forms of energy.
I can’t believe that in a few Days, it will be a 18 years. It still affects us , sometimes like it was yesterday. God bless all the lives lost, injured, lost others, and firefighters. We will never forget
20 years now
22 years now.
With those 343 men of the FDNY, they lost hundreds of years of experience within the department there was probably guys that died on that day that had at least 40 years of experience
Also some probies died that day! One guy, it was his 2nd day 😮 I just heard that on another documentary about 9/11 firefighters.
Its amazing he kept making this after September 11th, still a very sensitive subject in 2002
I am deeply grateful to all of the firefighters and their families for everything you do.
This looks so old but it feels as though it’s happened in really recent times
It wasn't really that long ago. The VCR tape made it look old!
@@Captain_MonsterFart definitely that long ago. I was 15 when it happened. I’ll be 35 in February. Almost 20 whole yrs.
@oce it’s considered a historical event and is taught as a part of history at school now for my children. It’s long ago enough.
@@jaym8300 there's more terrorist in this world not just who once was Osama n his kids idk what they finna do with osama's 2 yr old if they try to make him the next leader but that's not the only place in the world that Hates america this beef is still ongoing since 9/11 bearly 20 years ago my age. I was 8 months when this happened and was taught some of this in school but I fully understand now after 20 years from when it happened, It's pretty recent .
@Corwin719 lol it definitely does
In floods of tears watching this. Rest in peace to those lives so cruelly taken. 💔
I remember that day when 9_11-01. I was a volunteer fireman and my thoughts go out to all the firefighters EMS and Police officers who lost their lives that day.
Thank you James. Hope you’ve recovered well from those really hard times.
@Amed Tajan Trust me I saw things that would make you sick to your stomach and I was a volunteer they didn't have the help deal with it. All I did was deal with it and get ready for the next day.
I mean to say to say brush it off and get ready for the next call.
Respect and much love to you all from Ireland X
It is 19 years today! We shall, never forget
15:08 He lost his father, but he has a thousand uncles.
RIP the fallen. 🇬🇧♥️🇺🇸
At 32:35, the firefighter is describing the documentary called "The miracle on stairway B." There's 2 different ones, the History channel has one and I think the other was done by BBC. Either one is very powerful and worth watching.
Recommend both as they're both very well done.

My father is a retired fire lieutenant from a department north of Boston Massachusetts. In my many many times of sitting around the firehouse kitchen with these men, I learned a great deal about how much these men care about people. I learned about life, if I ever needed advice they guided me in the right direction. Even though I had one dad I knew should something ever happened to him, I had many dads who would always take care of me and look out for me. Luckily I had the opportunity many times to ride on his engine company they had me in the gear like one of the guys. Many of these brave men who I have come to know and love have sadly passed away. Most kids at that age would not of gone to work with their dads and preferred playing video games or going to the mall. But it’s some of the best memories of my life and I do not regret any of it. If anything I miss it very very much.....
“Thank You” is not enough for those that risk everything daily, to serve and protect. Next month will be 20 years since this awful day. In some ways, it seems like yesterday. I will never forget the images of that day; planes crashing into buildings, people jumping from the towers, the towers collapsing. It’s still too much to take in.
Thank you for remembering. Let us always remember our brothers and sisters who lost there lives doing what they do best. Helping those in need.
Thank you John for uploading this video! It is a testament to our country & all the hero's of New York! Be Safe!
So much love and respect, I can't imagine driving towards the towers looking up and thinking this is the end for me. Rest in peace to all that lost their lives ❤️✌🏻 from wales 🏴
My dad is from wales
Firefighters are heroes❤️ Thank you for all you guys do, and Rest In Peace to those who died saving lives on 9/11.🙏
I have alot of respect to the American fire fighters. In 2020 Australia was burning and America sent a few men over unfortunately some never made it back. Thank you for your service
20 Years now, I'm watching this again now. R.I.P to these 2,996 people who lost their lives.
R.I.P to everybody in 9/11...
I was only in 1st grade 6 years old and even today I still get chills from seeing those news clips.
Rest In Peace to all fire fighters who died doing what they loved doing you will all be remembered for your bravery
May you all rest in eternal peace
Amen
This absolutely breaks my heart! God bless each and every fire company of the FDNY who suffered tremendous loss of their brothers. Who were there that day and witnessed the horror. Who miraculously survived being inside or in close proximity to the collapsed towers. God bless the families of all involved in these 9/11 tradedies. We will never forget!!
Right on. We will never forget.
The New York accent is something I cherish as uniquely American. 🇺🇸
I was on vacation for new year's in NY 2000 and heard it everywhere. I returned this time with my family 6 months ago and honestly, this time , I didn't.
@@dirty9er415 yeah unfortunately it's dying out now. Like most American regional accents they're all slowly blending together.
@@dirty9er415 I visited there for the first time a few weeks ago and I honestly didn’t hear it that much either :/ I thought maybe it was just me but apparently others have noticed that too.
@@josephmelendez8370 The southern dialect is still alive and well though hahahah
@@JBguitar-cj8pc Yeah it's changing in a lot of places though. The younger generation in the more urban parts of the South are shedding a lot of the old traits that the older generation had. The accents are still southern but their less harsh than previous generations.
As part of my job, we have to recertify each year on the SCBA. When I watched the news that morning and heard those alarms ringing, I knew what they meant. Some people that day were speculating they were car alarms. No. They were the alarms of firefighters who had not moved. That sound was everywhere and it was haunting and devastating.
Sid Finster yes as a volunteer I’ve heard those alarms and yes a lot of people had no idea what those noises were you are correct it was Scott packs not moving it was a very eerie sound to hear during the first few news reports then slowly they stopped one by one 🤦🏻♂️
I had no idea!
Thank you.
I was in 5th grade and heard those alarms at school on the tv's. My father and both my grandfathers were volunteer firefighters and I recognized that sound instantly.
I hear that sound in my sleep some nights even to this day. It was that day that I went from child to adult mentally. While classmates talked about the towers collapsed I only heard those alarms. I felt like I was the only one in my peers who knew what that meant. I found out later on in life that my fellow students who had family in the firefighting business also felt what I felt. Knew what I knew.
Fire fighters, EMS, Police , Military are a tightknit family. 18 years later I still grieve . I read ODMP every week. 9-11 is still claiming lives. May god bless them and the USA.
I know exactly the sound your referring too. It's a movement alarm when a ff isbt moving for I think 2 minutes the alarm sounds so his buddies can find him. You heard that alarm like crickets constantly chirping in the background all day. That is the sound that stuck with me the most
Always wondered what that sound was
Heroes every one of them
5:38 that's just terrifying seeing remains of people on the street.
Didnt realise omg how could you cannot believe tat may they all rest in peace 😭😭
Yea its sad, its hard to think that was even a person once because they are just flattened
That wasnt a flattened body, that was just a piece of bloody clothing. You would MOST DEFINITELY KNOW IF IT WAS A BODY OF A BODY. Because the bodies in most cases do stay intact, but they are mangled beyond recognition. That was just a bloodh shirt or pants or some item of clothing not a jumpers body, i promise. Plus they dont show them on these youtube documentaries anymore...
@@thetrimreaper1019 it looks like the remains of some poor souls leg, the bone is visible, firefighters in documentaries said they couldn't avoid all the body parts in the road, absolutely heartbreaking.
My cousin Johnny was originally volunteering in Engine 96 with Ladder 54 but is now a fireman with Mamaroneck Fire Department Engine 37 and Ladder 19
11, september 2001. That day started so great, it was a wonderful morning, a great sunrise, cloudless sky. just sunny. My relative drove me to my work, it felt like that morning would last forever. it felt so good. I wish it continued that way.
Firefighters are an amazing group. It saddens me so much to know what these men and women went and are still going through. My cousin was a firefighter/EMT in Florida when he was killed in an off duty car accident. The support and respect shown by his fellow firefighters absolutely blew me away. Nearly 13 years later, I can still vividly recall the ceremonial last call given at his memorial service. I already had a lot of respect for firefighters, but that respect grew a lot after 9/11, and even more after my cousin's funeral. You're all amazing. Thank you doesn't even begin to cover the debt of gratitude this nation owes you.
9-11-2001 was twenty years ago today. God bless all the victims and their families. God bless America and God bless our troops!
Mike Puzzeferri did a great job narrating this documentary.
The Puzz is a great man, loved working with him!
Thank you men and women of the flames. We will never forget. I've been to the memorial. It's holy ground. I've never seen something so beautiful and terrible at the same time. Everyone in the nation should go to see.
I'm just a regular citizen but when this happened it hit me hard emotionally. There are mornings where I'll wake up, look at the clock and it'll be 3:43 A.M. I stare at those numbers until they change.
What does 3:43 have to do with anything?
@@missychelle33 the devils hour. From 3-4 am
@@missychelle33 probably from different country so different time from 9 here
Its the amount of firefighters who died September 11.
343 is the total number of NY Fire Fighters who died. RIP🙏🏻🇺🇸
Came for the firefighters stories, stayed for the nostalgic UK TV adverts
I was 12 when this happened and i remember it on every single channel. I find it hard to watch this without welling up at parts. R.I.P to all who died on 9/11
It’s only over 20 years ago feels like a lifetime
