7th grade, US history class. Ill never forget Mr. Tarver tell us we're experiencing a moment of US history no one alive will ever forget.
7th grade too
Not my story (i was born a few years later) but my mom’s story: She’s sitting on the couch of her apartment in her college (in northern West Virginia panhandle so near wheeling), and its the day after her birthday, and she suddenly gets told by one of her friends to turn on the tv, and she goes to the news, and 10 seconds after, she sees the second plane hit, and she continues to go through channels until she finds one where they’re talking about the Pennsylvania plane crash that had passed just a number of miles south of her not that long ago
6th grade here. Our principal got on the PA system and said "we're asking all teachers to turn on the TV, it's American history happening"
This is awkward I was in 7th grade too in social studies lol…New York..Bronx…all the parents were picking up their kids…I was like the last kid cuz guess what? My mom was a teacher..shout out to the teachers that had to basically stay or lose their jobs smh
I was 8 still remember
I was in New York on 9/11 and had went with my school. I’ll NEVER forget getting through to my mom and told her that I was okay. She started crying and kept saying, Thank you sweet Jesus! When I got through to my dad this was the only time in my life my dad cried and he said, son just get back home to us!
Finding nearly no survivors is still my greatest feeling of failure. I never experienced losing before.
It’s not your fault.
You did not fail my friend. You are a hero. You did EVERYTHING you could do that day and I won't let you think anything different. You did everything correctly. God bless you and I wish you peace for the rest of your days on earth. Thank you for what you did for our fellow Americans.
As a german I cant watch this without crying. I was on the WTC Restaurant on the 26. august 2001 and I still remember waking up to a whole in NY Thank you and may god bless the United States
Never forget
God Bless You Too.
Thank you so very much. I'm still hurting to this day.
Crazy how it’s been over two decades. Things like that will always feel like yesterday, if you lived and witnessed it.
I now teach kids that weren't even born back than and I remember that day like it was yesterday...
I was 5 and lived in another country, but boy could I feel it. It was like it happened here in Europe too. It was quiet, schools were shut down that day and everyone was in front of the tv. It was a day like no other… God took the ones that were lost that day, and blesses the ones that still have remaining traumas 🙏🏽
@@RescueNurse wow !
@@Laluan god bless ! And amen to that :)
Idk How to explain it.. I was at school few hours outside of NYC.. so my school wasn't in danger but that day stuck with me for life.. I am obsessed with researching September 11th .. my wife thinks I'm crazy but thay day was cemented in my brain and heart
Always take my hat out to the paramedics firemen and police officers that rushed in when everyone were rushing out that day.
Hug your loved ones everyday because tomorrow is never promised
Huge respect to the men and woman of the US Secret Service.
I’m a 49yr Hairy backed knuckle dragging Scotsman and I remember where I was when I heard the news. To this day I can’t help but shed tears for those who perished on that day and for those left behind dealing with the grief. We can never forget those brave fearless souls who responded to the call on the darkest of days to help others in need………warriors each and everyone of them. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
LCdr Thomas McGuinness was the First Officer of American Airlines Flight 11, and my brother in arms. We served together in the Navy, at VF-302 Naval Air Station Miramar. He flew F-14s. He was hands down one of the best officers in our Squadron. He was down to earth, respectful, and caring. Was not at all a typical stuck up naval officer.
Thank you for your service. Sorry for your loss, America’s loss🙏🏽🇺🇸
RIP LCdr Thomas McGuinness.
So sorry that you lost a brother that horrible terrible day.
Miramar? What?
😔 Damn……
One thing ill never forget is how after the attacks you saw flags everywhere. So much pride in our nation and so much comraderie came from this. Its sad how its slowly slipped away back to where it was around the time of the LA riots and national pride is treated as if its racist.
Imagine going back to work knowing that the people who used to work beside you are either missing or dead😢. The memories of the victims, and heroes on that day matter and must alway be celebrated every year. That one last plane that didn't reach its target the people who sacrificed themselves are true heroes.
I was not even alive then but it hits home so hard still
I'll never forget 9/11/01. It was my first day of college. My freshman class and I had an introductory seminar that morning with our academic dean, and few of us had heard about what had happened (practically no one had TV's & it was long before smartphones with the news at your fingertips). We started the day watching the CNN coverage on a projection screen in one of the nearby computer labs at my college, and the first image I saw was United 175 hitting the South Tower, as everyone was already looking at the burning North Tower. My first thought was "what movie are they promoting?" because it was so unimaginable...of course, the reality quickly sunk in...
Hope your college experience got better, it was 7th grade 1st Period Science for me. Had no clue why kids were going home one by one...then we all got dismissed. Went home in time to see the towers come down.
I had exactly the same feeling at first! "What Nonsense is Hollywood producing now . . ." Then i saw the terrible truth and got quite speechless... For days!
I will never forget that day. As soon as I turned on the TV, the second plane hit the second tower.
May we never forget this day💔
We won’t.
I'm Australian and on September 11th I was 24, newly married and had just found out a week prior that we were expecting our first baby. My first thought was what kind of world am I bringing a child into. Everytime I see footage of this attack I get goosebumps as I know people died
very interesting! my mother was probably thinking the same as my due date was on that very day, luckily i held out for two days but my family out-of-state wasn’t able to come. i will never forget, and i bet your child was a light that was a gift through this darkness!! ❤️
I remember the collective mourning. We could actually feel it, and I am crying right now just watching it.
May I ask for how long did that collective mourning continue? There was a time when you miss said “we are now feeling better” ?
Exactly! I’m from Vegas & the feeling of loss the next day after we processed was palpable across the country. I never felt that way again until October 2nd the morning after the mass shooting here & it was intense to remember that same feeling from 9/12 were everyone was just in a daze.
If you saw this. You were NEVER the same. I was 11.
I was 10 years old and at that time I used to live in new York from 2000 to 2003. So I really remember 9/11.
I was 17 and a senior in HS. It was definitely an “OH FUCK” moment
I had just started my sophomore year of high school. I'll never forget that day.
5th grade Mr. Kellers class. Never forget! I had just visited NYC 3 days prior! So glad my parents and I took the photo on Liberty Island 🗽 with the towers in the background! 🇺🇸 all the way! Never forget!
I was so proud of our Country then 😢❤
Heart breaking, all over again.
I remember where I was, what I was doing and what I said, when the second one hit the building. That's something that I will NEVER FORGET.😢😢😢
We will never, ever forget. We cannot forget.
Almost 21 years. I'll never forget turning on the television at the exact moment the second plane hit the second tower.
Simple words with powerful emotions! It is difficult to see the change in America in the 22 years since that horrific events that cost so many lives and broken families.
I remember that there was great despair in Poland because for Poles America is a family and many people were in panic whether a war had started.
I was in 8th grade on this day and i still remember as if it was yesterday
I want to say thank you to the brave men and women who serve in the Secret Service for everything they do for our country. I have the utmost respect for each and every one of them.
I was in a Federal Court that morning in Southern Indiana. They evacuated a city county building across the street because it was next to a federal building. I wanted to sign up and had turned 35 that year. I owned a Ford Dealership and 80 percent of the national guard in the city were my customers. I stayed at the store and had their wife’s bring in their vehicles for service. I gave free oil changes and minor services while they were deployed and deferred billing for brakes and things like that until they got back and could pay the bills. I did not get stiffed on one bill. We threw a Christmas party for the kids and had just over 100 kids we bought gifts for. We spent $100 per kid except for one family, they had six daughters. We bought them clothes, coats, boots, whatever they needed. I think I went spent $3000 on the girls. God bless each and every one of those soldiers.
BE RESPECTFUL: To our Secret Service, Our Police officers, Firemen, EMT's, Nurses, Doctors, Your County Sheriff Deputies, and Our Military THEY ALL, KEEP US SAFE! ..."it takes a village"
As long as the respect the constitutional 😊 right
LMAO.. No they don't. Courts ruled police do not have to intervene in crimes or provide protection for the population. You have been manipulated to become a sheep, and it looks like you soaked it all right in.
It’s sad that there are people who have forgotten
I live in Christchurch New Zealand. I will never forget that day. I happened to be on a work related flight from ChCh to a small town, Kaikoura. When we got back at the end of the day, we underwent a search that we’d never had to previously. The world had changed. It was a small private charter flight. The reality of what had taken place was beginning to emerge. We were horrified. It seemed unimaginable. Those responders’ from fire, police, ambulance to special agents, the public…will live with this forever. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
HOW can you forget that day. No matter where you live in this weary world.
What’s more sad more and more people think government had a hand in it so conspiracy I say bs
I'm not an American, nor was I even conscious at the time of the attacks. But every time I watch a video on them I watch with a heavy heart. It was by far, the truest of evil acts ever committed.
I don't understand terrorism. Do they expect to make friends and gain support this way?????
@@veramae4098No. They want to inspire fear so great that no one dares to fight back.
As an American - thank you for your empathy and acknowledgment of this human tragedy ❤
I clearly remembered what happened back then, I watched coverage news on my national TV and it chilled me to the bones. From the moment I knew the face of the world was not same again
What's even more crazy is that the second plane hit the second tower while I was writing the first message this time. That's crazy!
This day and all those who where lost can never be forgotten. I’ll never be able to wrap my mind around what it must have been like for all those who suffered so. God bless this country
What a very touching and moving documentary. Hearing all those stories makes me emotional thinking what those people went through and all those that didn't make it 😢
God bless you all. Thank you.
I remember to this day where I was & what I was doing.
IN MEMORIAL SEPTEMBER 11, 2001. Rest In Peace (R.I.P.)
Over 22 years ago unbelievable The day the world changed.
We will never forget God bless America 10:49
It's strange how trauma works even for those who weren't there. I'm far away in the UK but I remember where I was when I turned on the TV and saw those buildings smoking. I was on vacation with family and our day just stopped. We spent the rest of our time there just watching the news and thinking about all the people hurt by this. We knew everything had changed and we were worried about what would come next. You can't see thousands of people die on TV and not be emotionally and psychologically scarred by it.
Never forget. Never take things for granted. Never forget those lost & still being lost to this day. Never forget the heroic acts from first responders & civilians. Never forget how united you all were after this, because the world sorely needs love & unity like that again!!!!
This video was so incredibly well done. God Bless the men & women of USSS and those that shared their stories.
Thank you. I spent a lot of painstaking nights trying to do this story justice.
I wanted to go up to New York in either 2018 or 2019. My son and I were dressed and ready to go. I had prayer pages. I felt such an urge to go up there to pray, but things didn't work out that way. It was before COVID-19. 12-04-2023.
The pain so many people lived through on that day and the pain they still live with now, all these years later, is unimaginable for most of us. I was in Dallas, TX. I remember being glued to my small TV. I also remember the fear I felt. A type of fear I had never felt before. I also remember taking my dogs for their walk later that night - and the silence. The darkness. We don't realize the noise all the planes in the skies above us make - and their blinking lights - until it's not there. God bless the USA and all those NYC survivors and their families.
Remembering one day i don't want to picture in my head. But its in our history and happened in our lifetime ❤🇺🇸
Every thing I saw, see even today about this just rips me back raw to that day,and it's never diminished once. I watched the second one hit live,and we all screamed. I had no idea where we were because it was just not conceivable to me what I had just seen. And it just got worse and worse until it stopped. Just not in my head for life. Or anyone elses head that day watched it,lived it.
Thank you to everyone who supported each other through this atrocity. From the first responders to the family members of the victims I’m so sorry that you had to live through this. We will never forget!
Still remember this day so vividly. Horrible. I had just graduated high school. I was 18. Still living at home, My mother yells "Dustin you got to get down here now and look at the TV!" The first tower had already been hit and the newscasters were speculating that it was a twin prop plane and simply an accident, then bam! 2nd place strikes the 2nd tower, then the pentagon, and the final united plane was taken back over and crashed into a field.. so sad.. We had our local newspaper for years and years that said "Day of Tragedy" with the twin towers in smoke & flames. Rip to all those affected by 9/11
I watch these videos from Texas knowing now of course we were safe. And all I can say is, I'm so very sorry for all who perished and all who have the nightmares every day because of what these poor people had to witness knowing they were helpless to do anything....🙏💔 God Bless everyone of you...
I remember you, Love. ❤️
God bless all those who stood together during the worst time,God bless america🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🙏🙏,and all the maerican people.
Laura Bush at that time was with Senator Kennedy (JFKs younger brother) and while this was happening and broadcasted live on TV Sen. Kennedy comforted Laura by distracting her talking about personal photos on the wall. After all no public official had witnessed so much chaos and loss in his own family as Sen. Kennedy. Fly high The Lion! 🌌
I was born 8/2000. I just turned 1 years old. on 9/11/2001 I still have a kind of of vague memory of it. My memory goes I was sitting on the floor I had something in my hand and I was staring at the TV and behind me was the coffee table and behind that the couch with my mom and someone crying. I told that to my mom one day and she told me it was very accurate I watched the second plane hit the tower and my PT therapist was there for a home visit. Her son worked in the south tower on something like the 50th floor. with phone lines being jammed it took a really long time to reach him he called out sick that day.
If you remember your age accurately, then this memory is not real. One year olds do not have the cognitive ability to remember events like this.
@@littlehercules99 Yeah .. I feel bad saying it .. but it's absolutely impossible to have even the slightest vaguest memory from 1 year's old. We create false memories all of the time, and this anecdote is definitely one of them. Sorry friend. ☮
When news broke about this, my immediate thought was, I have to get the kids from school. 2nd thought was they needed to stay at school. I had no idea what to do. No idea what all this meant. How do I protect my kids? So many intense thoughts that day.
Never forget this day.
Less we forget.🙏🇺🇸❤️
This one made me cry. When the lady said she called her mom to say she was alive. That was it for me
God bless…. ❤
Wouldn't doubt it
I was in college when this happen
Everyone who witnessed this horrible day, simply is not ABLE to forget all these victims! Its a never healing scar, burnt in the hearts of Millions. From a German.
There is always peace before strom
God bless us and protect us from something like this ever happening again. When you lose someone and there is no body, nothing to bury, your just left with the things of how he left it, that morning before going to work....and thats where life remains all these years later.
De vez en cuando veo estos documentales... y pienso lo importante q es la seguridad cuando viajamos y ser pacientes con la seguridad en los aeropuertos ellos tratan con tantas personas que son groseras con los trabajadores y no daría ser así hay que ser amables pacientes con quienes se aseguran q estamos seguros al viajar
12 Years old. Getting RUSHED to the library, in school in a small Town in New Zealand. To watch the live footage. By the end of it we had to rotate with other kids so we could all see the horrible history unfolding, my teachers didn't believe in hiding what the world is.
Saddest day..but imagine anyone in a war this is their daily life ((
I was a sophomore in high school on 9/11. A teacher opened up the door to our classroom and said a plane hit the World Trade Center and it was on fire. Our teacher turned on the tv and two minutes later we watched the second plane fly into the building live. I went to a catholic school and at 9:30 our whole went to our chapel and had a prayer service. It lasted about 30-45 minutes. After that we went back to our classrooms and resumed our classes. It was the most somber day I can ever remember.
I was 17 years old, a freshman in high school.
I was a kid then in Nigeria. My uncle just left for the states on 10th. I cried so hard until he called us to say his ok. From that day on, i valued the power of the telephone. God Bless America
This was surreal. It seemed to me everything was moving in slow motion on that morning.
Was only 4 or 6 years old in Yonkers Remember seeing smoke from the Hudson Then 2003 Black out
I was 6 years old my parents lived outside mcCord Air Force base they shut it down there was a whole caravan, soldiers I was crying
I was in 9 grade on that day
Time after time
I was in my classroom 3rd grade
Stay Blessed America
hopefully so. this is not a political statement at all. it is a factual/truth statement: irrespective of your thoughts on cheney/bush. could one imagine IF something like this or a natural disaster happened with harri/biden. 2 people who can not even put a sentence together in public. never to think in a "critical" time of stress, pressure and decision making in private/office. the laughing hyena (harris) "addressing" the nation? the same person the equates J6 to 9/11 and pearl harbor? biden..mid sentence...can not think anymore and just says..."oh, forget about it?" yes, 20+yrs or progress folks. social justice "progress"?
Here's another question let's say by some way I'm semi-right semi wrong not sure do you think Old Tesla where he used alternating current if we still have it in some of our energy spreads and somebody turned it or we turned it to see if we can align different minerals with it do you think it could have the same effect
The hidden secrets of America 😔
Touching. we the people remember november 22, 1963. The devil is in the details; the Kennedy Detail.
THE TRUTH MUST BE TOLD AMERICA 😡😡😡
I remember coming back from school and all tv stations across kenya were just running the attack on the world trade center over and over.
One very sad day in America. A 20yr nightmare that followed. Their were no winners that day or in all the days that followed until the very last American Army General boarded the last transport out of Afghanistan. Too many victims on all sides. The righteous event was the kill shot into Bin Ladin watched in real time. Peace is so beautiful as North American’s as a whole we have truly been lucky to have never suffered through a long term mechanical war on our soil and hopefully never ever will their are no winners when it comes to war. Rest In Peace to all victims to all survivors of the last 20 years coming home psychologically damaged stay strong & enjoy better days with birds singing watching your children grow and hopefully never having to be asked by your leadership to kill again..✌🏼
America should NEVER forget, I haven’t🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was in 6th grade LONGISLAND NY so many of my schoolmates got picked up from school I came home to my mom telling my dad “Joseph “ they are gone both towers are gone
