When 11 September Became 911
A pipe by American pipe maker Mark Tinsky is the perfect companion for sharing where I was on September 11, 2001. I would love to hear your story as well.

Thank you for sharing your memories of 9-11…
We were sitting in the classroom when the professor announced what had happened; a minute of silence followed
Like people who were alive when Kennedy was assassinated, I’ll never forget where I was during 9/11. Freshman year of college. In my basic electricity class, I thought wanted to be an electrician lol. The teacher came in and said, a plane just hit the World Trade Center ! I thought what a terrible accident! A minute later he comes back “another plane just hit it!” That’s when we all knew. What a dark and scary day. Kids today just don’t understand the feeling we all had, to them it’s just history, but we lived it and experience it,whew what a day. What do I do to stand against evil? Every time I stand at the pulpit and proclaim God’s word, I’m taking a stand against evil. I know that not a little thing but it’s true
I'm observing the day by smoking one of my corncobs---can't get more American than that. On that 9/11 morning, I parked my car in the lot adjoining my law office and headed in. Somehow, the feeling in the air was different. Inside, I heard two lawyers and a secretary talking about something that seemed to make no sense. When I was told of what happened, I walked across the street to the coffee-and-doughnut shop to think the situation over. The place was crowded, and nearly everyone was staring at the large television set. People's coffee was getting cold, since nobody looked as though they remembered ordering it. I cannot remember what we did for the rest of the day in the office.
I was, unfortunately, quitting my time at ITT as a student, before I graduated (long story) not realizing that I has been put on the Students of the quarter list for my outstanding grades when someone from the admin office said that a plane just crashed into the WTC....I couldn't fir the life of me figure out how they were going to help that pilot and crew and before I knew it, another plane hit the other tower. 😢 It was then that we knew this was no coincidence. Everyone is confronted by evil in some form almost every day. I don't know how exactly I stand up to it. I would like to say that my vote is one way I try to stand up to it...but daily? I can't say that I am always able to stand up to it...sometimes I succumb...in some form or another...but, as always, we get up, we ask for forgiveness, and we try to keep going and do better the next day.
I was 2 going on three. No doubt sitting on the living room floor drinking my morning milk playing with my hot wheels watching scooby unaware of anything going on outside of my little world.
I had just come on shift at the firehouse. CPFD Engine 3.
Went to my carpenters union hall and asked if they would be sending or asking for any carpenters to help clean up any of damage from destroyed buildings I would be willing to go. Was told New Yorks local would accomodate.😢
I was working second shift at the time just waking up for morning coffee watching it happen on TV. I was astonished, then I was so mad my blood boiled. Later that day, I wept. Such a sad day for our nation. On a lighter note. That is a great looking pipe!
Thank you for sharing that memory. I think we all had both of those emotions, as for the pipe, it is a Mark Tinsky Pipe Cottage 2024. I love it, and you can find his work here: amsmoke.com/.
At that time I was working for Norfolk and Southern R/R and was on a train headed to Norfolk, VA. We got shut down at the next town in Crewe, Va..It's a day u can never forget. God Bless from Va
Thank you for sharing your memory. You are right. It is our generation's Pearl Harbor.
I was working on a project in Aylesbury in the UK, I am from the Netherlands but when it happened the office went quiet and we started looking at the TV's on what was happening. The craziest stories where told. When i was at the Birmingham Airport for a flight back to Amsterdam, All flights where delayed and strange stories where told, about planes that where short out of the sky by the US Air force. When i finally arrived in Amsterdam and was waiting for the shuttle bus to take me to the hotel their where several Arab People waiting for their shuttle bus, and when the pictures where shown that the plans flow in to the Towers they where cheering, then I knew the world has changed. SO from that day forward we have history from before and after September 11th 2001. One things is sure, the world is looking different to people who practice the Muslim faith, is that good or not good, I would say NOT Good. But one thing I know the World has changed because of this terrible attack. Have a good day and may all rest in peace those who where affected by this tragedy.
Thank you for sharing your memories of that day. It is disturbing to know that people would have cheered over such a tragic loss of life.
Wow! This was great! My partner's birthday is coming up! I think I will use some of these songs in a birthday list! I haven't heard any of them. I was born in 1980 and didn't really get into music until the mid-90s, so I missed some good stuff! Thanks so much for sharing! This was fun! Have a great week!
I have to admit, i love the love songs as well...but, everytime you said love songs i had The Beatles running through my head...silly love songs! Just quirky...but, i love that one! And what about classical love songs (maybe a whole different topic?) My ALL TIME FAVORITE...Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini...of course, from my ALL TIME FAVORITE love movie...Somewhere In Time! Okay...off my band wagon. Of course, as always, a wonderful topic! Take care!
You know, I have done a lot with pop music, so perhaps it's time to record an episode about classical. And the movie Somewhere In Time...what a gem!
@PerkinsPipes I should correct myself...Silly Love Songs is from Paul McCartney and Wings I believe...not from The Beatles.
What a beautiful pipe. 💨💨
Thank you! It is rapidly becoming a favorite.
Good morning Steve. Yes I agree with you the rain song by zeppelin is ausum. And of course Clapton is my favorite artist. You look wonderful tonight and Layla. Savage Garden I loved you before I knew you and my favorite which is mine and my wife's song "truly madly deeply". Cheers Ron
Mmmm...some NICE choices there!
I still sing Deeper Than the Holler to my wife which is a fun one, but if I’m being serious I always sing Through the years- Kenny Roger’s. Man that song just gets sweeter with age.
My friend, you just may have inspired an entire episode dedicated to Kenny Rogers. In fact, I'll go ahead and commit to it. So much great music!
@@PerkinsPipes the man was a true legend.
Good morning from Va. Great list. Mine include from the 70s, When i need you (Leo Sayer), 80s, Feels So Right (Alabama), Bryan Adams (Heaven), 80s ballads could go on forever.
Excellent picks, and that Alabama song is easily one of my favorites. What a great groove it has!
Thought provoking video Steve, thank you! Helpful perspective on making choices about how we use our time, talents, and treasure. I am re-purposed from a long career in heavy construction to now serve people with disabilities, mostly unseen, but immensely appreciated by those served. I now wish I had started serving earlier in my life.
I love it! We once were visiting my father-in-law in the hospital and ran into my wife's math teacher from high school. He was retired and spent his days at the hospital, popping into rooms with the sole purpose of cheering people, spending time with their families, and so forth. He had little business cards he had printed on red card stock, and he called himself The Sonshine Man, as he would offer a words of prayer and Scripture as well. My friend, you are doing good work indeed.
"Let it go. Now that's not easy, but it's simple." Profundity in everyday language. Just excellent... Good on ya Brother...
Thank you so much for that comment! I once heard a talk from Pulitzer-winning scholar Douglas Hofstadter, who at the time was a professor of, among other things, cognitive science, computer science, and physics, who argued for the need for plain speech and that scholars should stop jabbering in jargon just to make themselves seem smart to each other. It is a good point.
Great message and interesting history! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds tasty! My best friends mom was a Hatfield by birth. I got the privilege of seeing the family journals! Awesome chat sir! Enjoy that blend!
Great story, excellent message. That blend sounds pretty good too.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s all about watching the lighting up ritual. All the loading, packing, adjusting then the anticipation of yhe flame to the bowl. Big column of flame and smoke and the sound of the smokers puffing. It’s even better with the light after the char light, ending in thick dense pipe smoke from the mouth. Wow.
My friend, that could be made into a poem! And isn't that dense cloud just the best?
@@PerkinsPipes the best. I’d love to get lost in it. Thanks for the comments, and all your work.
Loved this video, years ago I worked with a Hatfield. Used to refer ti him as my favorite stump jumper.
What a great topic sir! All things do pass in a season… it is sad in a lot of cases. The end of this video screams the story of Job. Have a wonderful day sir!
Love your comments, brother!
Amen and Amen
Yes Steve things have never changed the feuding is still going on in our inner cities. The people like the Hatfields and McCoys brought the feuding from Scotland. Have you heard of The Baker-White feud it was a violent conflict between two families in Clay County, Kentucky that lasted from the 1820s to 1932. The feud was one of the deadliest in the history of the United States east of the Mississippi River, with an estimated 150 lives lost. I try to be ay peace with myself. Like if some cuts me off I try to think maybe their mother is on her way to the hospital. I just let it go. cheers Ron.
I am not familiar with that feud, but will look into it. As you say, these things, of course, continue to go on, and more's the pity. Your thought about someone cutting you off is a good one. We have no idea what someone else is going through, so it's best to cut them some slack.
Steve, FYI, the YTPC has a presenter Doc Hatfield who is the grandson of Devil-Anse Hatfield. He doesn't do videos anymore due to health issues. Ed
Whaaaaat? Wow! Neat to know! Do you know if he smokes a Devil Anse-style pipe?
@@PerkinsPipes Steve, I am not sure, but I think that if he did I would have noticed that. Doc is a preacher who I love to death. Ed
Fantastic message Steve, my friend. We all need to be reminded to let Jesus steer the boat. Have a blessed weekend.
The same to you, John! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
Indeed, our nation seems to be overwhelmed with drama, petty disagreements, and endless violence. If we would listen to Christ and humble ourselves, we as a nation would save a lot of misery.
Well said!
Thanks for the meaningful thoughts. Great story for the context! Have a great weekend!
Thanks for the words of wisdom. I needed that this morning. P.S. I'm from WV and know several Hatfield's and McCoy's. Interesting history.
So glad you enjoyed it! I have only been through WV a couple of times, but it is beautiful country. Have a wonderful day!
Newer sub. Keep up the great content.
Thank you my friend! And welcome to the fun at Perkins Pipes!
Wow! That’s fantastic! Congratulations on almost 1000!🎉
Something about the vibe of cleaning my pipe after the last bowl of the night. With my night time jazz playing on the radio. Love it!!
Ahhh...nighttime jazz! Is there any other kind? I love good jazz, but I can only listen to it at night. Thanks for the comment!
Always a great day when Perkins pipes puts out a new vid
You, sir, are too kind! Thank you!
Very good reminders, and some thing that I need to hear. So easy to lose proper focus. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.
Glad you enjoyed the video and the pipe! I like that pipe very much.
@@PerkinsPipes 👍
I like that estate pipe! I will watch the rest of this later. I’m at work right now. Have a great day!
Very interesting topic and a little depressing...but, it is what it is. I got to think about this very idea over the long weekend as I helped to move my Mom out of her apartment and into a nursing home. Everything that we packed up told me all that she had cared about...whether it was trivial or not. Each item, each paper, each note...they spoke of what she cherished and was interested in at the time...and once everything was boxed up and out of sight, you think about how, for the most part, all of that is gone. No one else will care for most of those things in the way that she did ever again. So, what do we store in Heaven then? (Is that truly the very first online storage before we even realized it?!) So much to think about. Have a great day! Until next time...
My mom's decline started in 2019. While she was convalescing with us, my wife and I traveled regularly three hours to the house where I grew up to clean and renovate it for her return. We then went through a similar process when we had to sell her house and move her to an independent living apartment near us in 2023. And then we went through it again emptying that apartment when she went into nursing care early in 2024 before passing away this last Christmas. In short, I know exactly what you mean. I do like your idea that Heaven was the original online storage!
Good morning Steve. It is interesting to see TH-cam presenters who just now discover zeppelin or other 60s and 70s music and how amazed they are. Remember "Every man has two deaths, when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name. In some ways men can be immortal." Ernest Hemingway Cheers Ron
I absolutely love the reaction videos of people encountering classic rock for the first time! One of my favorites is www.youtube.com/@jamelakajamal.
Watched your video today, was definitely something I had never thought about. Thanks
Not a lot of connections between that song and the deeper things of life! Glad you enjoyed it!
Good cool morning from Va. Thanks for the early content.
And good morning from Indiana! Thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful pipe loved your lecture though I was/am totally lost. God Bless you and yours....thanks for the interesting video
Wonderful discussion! Thanks for sharing! I'm currently reading a book of poetry called "Think of Me" by Nicholas Trandahl. Great stuff. I'm going to get back to it. You have a wonderful week!
@@thevillagepathfinder Thank you for your comment! Have a wonderful week as well and enjoy your book!
Amazing video sir! Absolutely beautiful meerschaum and beautiful pipe! I am currently smoking a leather wrapped estate pipe from 1925 myself so almost 100 years old. Very deep but yet lightly delivered topic! Many humans have tried to place a physical reasoning behind the exactly what it truly means to control and understand all of the different perceived dimensions, but only God truly understands! Have a great evening sir!
Enjoyed the commentary. SWR is my favorite codger blend. And I agree, in a cob is best!
@@T.RyanPerz Thank you! And nice to see another SWR fan!
Awesome as usual... From a psychological point of view, to a large extent, our emotions create our perceptions of reality. For this reason, expressive poetry has much to offer regarding our understanding of reality. Exact sciences also provide some discoveries on the realities of the universe. However, there are aspects of the real that only god knows, and we may never find out; that`s alright because we`re likely not supposed to know or understand. Corpus Hypercubus depicts this quite well. As for the pipe you`re smoking, it is a beauty. I wish it could tell the stories from its past, it would have been so interesting 😉
@@siriuszenith4512 Keen points as always, my friend. Glad you enjoyed it. Your comment reminds of a poem a friend of mine once wrote. I’ll have to make an episode about it. And yes, it would be wonderful to hear what that pipe could say!
You have a real gem of a pipe and a good chat. Very thought-provoking
Thank you, my friend! After completing the video, I savored the rest of the pipe, and it smoked wonderfully for a very long time.
I recently discovered Malcolm Guite, love his channel. When you said "I dont understand and that's ok!" Something about that lifted some weight off my chest. Really enjoy your videos. And what a beauty of a pipe!
Glad you enjoyed it! I can guarantee that treasure of a pipe will be in many more. As for not understanding something, I find that the longer I live and the more I learn, the more comfortable I am in admitting that. There is no shame in not understanding something.
Steve that is a beautiful pipe. I like to believe that my great-grandfather smoked one like that. I have a newspaper clipping of a pipe club he belonged to called the goose Town smokers casino. I wish I knew what kind of pie he smoked. Or better yet had his pipe. I have always been fascinated with that painting there's just something about it that speaks to me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Very best regards Ron
I am not at all surprised that you like this painting, Ron, since you and I seem to share so many interests. As for the pipe, it is shot to the top as one of my favorites.
