Breaks my heart to know that the first responders who survived and got cancer from exposure didn't get any help from this country and had to go to court for it. Damn shame
My 1st reaction was 'What kind of an idiot flies right into the World Trade Center? Are they blind? They can't see the Twin Towers right in front of them?' But when we heard about the 2nd plane hitting directly into the Towers....then we knew. 😟😯
My first reaction was why my teacher is crying, we have seen other planes hit skyscrapers but it was through my seventh period class when I learned how we were being under attacked it felt scary even when I wasn’t in NYC
People watching the flow of air traffic after the north tower had been hit watched as they saw another plane descending quickly and they knew the plane that hit the north tower was no accident
That sinking realization when the 2nd plane hit - that feeling is somethig I will never forget. 17 years old, senior year of high school. The world as I knew it was gone.
I agree, I was a senior as well in my second period math class. I will never forget what it felt like to know that these innocent lives were take from us in what would live on as the attack that started the war of decades.
17yo senior here too in 2001. Second period english class. Knew a plane crashed into one tower at the start of class per our teacher but then heard about the second via a PA announcement halfway through the class from the principal who so eloquently stated "Students, America is under attack" to start his message. Spent most of the rest of the day just watching news coverage on TV in classrooms with limited TVs or the auditorium. Somehow 6th period spanish teacher did a regular lesson and pretended nothing was wrong but she might have been the only one in the school who did so.
Yeah. I was 21 and just started my career / my first job. I was in a sale room and a customer said "In the USA a large plane has just flown into the World Trade Center!" My first thoughts was "oh no, wat a stupid pilot" and my second "oh no... all the people!! I hope there aren't too many victims" Than - after a while (we started TV and radio) we saw the second impact. . .. and a cold shiver came over me. I knew - The USA was under attack and I somehow felt that the world - as I knew it - was going to change.
From that perspective they were making movies about Iraq and Afghanistan before they were even over. People in Iraq could technically watch a movie about a war in Iraq and then step outside and see it for real.
Fun fact - the cop who gives Rodriguez a pat on the shoulder as Sarge calls out ‘Giraldi’ and ‘Pezzulo’ on the roll call of cops going downtown is the real Will Jimeno
I remember seeing this on the news when I was 7 years old. I didn't know what was going on at the time (too young), but i'll never forget the faces of people around me in the TV room that day. Something you never forget.
Same, i was 9, my mom shook me out of bed to watch the news, my step dad at the time was flying for work so she was freaking out, i was awake enough to see the second plane hit, even though i was on the west coast, seeing the plane disapear and a fireball shoot out, fucking scared me.
I was six and I was playing with wooden blocks when the TV was turned on. It was crazy. I bet I didn't realise how many died that day but the tension was sensible when we ate (carrot stew)
My POV from France (8yo) : Was watching a kid show on national TV at Grandma's house, my mom came to get me. They had small talks, I was enjoying the show and suddenly it's interrupted. My mom changed the channel over and over until she found another kid show. My mom explained to me the situation the next day before school ending with "Some kids know gifts are bought by their parents for Christmas, some kids don't. Do not talk about this to your classmates unless they talk about it first". Afternoon were cancelled, and the entire school were reunited to discuss what we all saw
I'll never forget that morning. Coming out of basic training waiting on my tech school to start, leaders had us doing clean up duty around our dorms. As soon as the 1st place hit we were all glued to tv then saw the next plane hit, we knew right then n there we were on the verge of a war. God bless all them innocent people who died that day and to all the 1st responders, and all the soldiers who have died ever since fighting that war.
One of my old neighbors was in the last stages of training for the Air Force at the time. They weren’t told exactly what happened and were just told to prepare the base for full combat readiness, sandbags and all. Everybody thought it was just a drill because the US couldn’t really be under attack. It was only during evening roll call that the COs informed people and it immediately caused a rush to the phones as soon as they were released.
I was getting ready for work that morning in Houston and it was not quite 8am when everything started. Watching it unfold on TV was crazy. I lived and worked within 3 miles of IAH airport at the time. I was used to hearing/seeing dozens of jets climbing out over my area every hour, so the following 3 days of silence were the eeriest, creepiest 3 days of my life.
I was a senior in high school that day. Houston as well. My class watched the events live during third period that ironically was my history class and we saw the towers collapse.
I worked at HP in Houston on 9/11. I was driving into work when I heard about the first plane. I got out of a meeting when I heard about the second. Everything stopped after that.
That area back then must’ve been middle of nowhere golly Iah is even now in the woods and man crazy in 2001 Sasha Dominguez was already a reporter for NBC…ncie to meet another houston Ian but also one who’s lived there since this time. Tragic what happened we must never forget!!
I couldn’t tell you what I had for dinner a week ago but I remember every awful moment of that day. I was 22 years old and in Job Corp at the time. Being a federal campus anyone living on campus was stuck because they went into lock down
I'm from the UK, I was playing a game online on a US server and suddenly the chat filled up with profanities and then everyone disconnected, I remember that moment distinctly wondering what on earth could have happened that had people all over America react like that at the same time. Even here the rest of the day was very eerie, you had no idea whether it was just the start of something bigger and whether there would be attacks of this scale all over the West.
My husband and I saw this movie in the theater. He did know they would portray his childhood friend who died that day as a police office saving as many people he could.
@@Welshie. it was a shock, I meant to say he did know his friend was portrayed. He got choked up seeing it. His friend is Chris. Infact there is a picture that goes around Facebook showing a police officer that is clearly injured helping a woman out. That is Chris.
I remember after work i went out for dinner and drinks than I come home watch it on news but I am shock that they made a movie of it less than 6 months because it takes yrs to make movies but for this one I was shock until now they still not telling us who did it but I remember the USA media blame Muslims but there was Muslims in that buildings that die
At 3:16, the look on McLaughlin’s face knowing that no one was prepared for this attack whatsoever. Especially that they used commercial airline planes to attack the towers 😢
"There could be fifty or sixty thousand people in there." Is pretty damn chilling when you consider it could have very likely been the case if this had happened later in the day, as it was there was "only" like 16-20,000 people.
Beyond the massive evacuation of almost 25k of people within the World Trade Center complex, was the largest flotilla of boats, yachts and ferries ever used to evacuate thousands to safety in New Jersey, etc. RIP to all those lost 🙏
@@christophermyers3758 My uncle was on one of those boats but going the other way. He was a firefighter in a fire house very close to the WTC. He happened to be on vacation at the time in LBI. When he saw the news he immediately got in his car and headed back to the bridge. Obviously the bridges were closed so he found a guy with a boat and asked him to take him over to Manhattan. By the time he got there the towers had already collapsed so he mostly helped with search and rescue operations. He lost everyone in his firehouse who was on duty that day. You could tell it hurt him very deeply. He still isn't 100% tbh.
It's crazy.....if the planes had been hijacked even just an hour later, there would've been a lot more casualties. The guy in this clip even said that "there could be 50 to 60 thousand inside"
Its crazy how much this event is etched into our memory, even if you were on the other side of the planet. I was a secondary school student in Ireland. I get home for my lunchbreak, walk into the sitting room to see my mother glued to the TV after tower one was hit. Then we were watching together as the news showed that infamous visual of the second plane striking the other tower. We both screamed for a second then our voices caught when the towers fell...I still remember that silence. I didn't go back to school that day, we spent the rest of that afternoon all together.
Everyone felt this way. The reasons varied but it was also because in 2001 America seemed invincible. It won the Cold War and was the sole Superpower on the planet. That anyone would attack the strongest nation on the planet was shocking. That so many lives were lost was shocking. After so much loss everyone knew there would be a response and not a regular response but a massive one. 20 Years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan was the response. We only stopped because we became weary of it. But we were 100% to 100 years of war back in 2001 on September 12th.
I will never forgot the moment i realized they banked the plane, and turned it towards the second tower. I started mumbling, "they turned". Then i started yelling to my wife, "they did that on purpose". Because i couldn't believe it.
When the one officer says "Holy s***" it reminds me of the film clip of the French filmers who got the only known view of the first strike. You hear the cops in the street exclaim like that. And when that real authentic film was put on national tv, in a documentary, some holier than thou folks objected to airing the profanity. Those guys weren't cussing gratuitosly, they were reacting in disbelief to what they witnessed.
Incredible how the French documentary camera crew just happened to be covering NYC first responders on that day. They captured alot of historical footage
@@lindaeasley5606 They had been filming for some months, following the training of a rookie fiefighter. That's why they got to go along, and filmed inside the one tower. Their camera lights helped the firefighters when the other tower went down and the power went out.
There's some other footage of the first crash, it was filmed from a car and you can just make out the impact in one corner. I think the guy had just got a video camera and was testing it out. I don't think he even realised what he had for years.
20th years anniversary of 9/11 that we will never forget to the family and victims who died on September 11th 2001 God Bless United States of America 🇺🇸
The end of this scene shows the most untold story of that fateful Tuesday morning… The tens of thousands of people whose lives were saved by the hundreds of people who ran into the burning towers
I couldn’t make it through this clip without crying. The instant I saw the fire trucks and ambulance I started crying. So many innocents were lost that day. I’ll never forget it. I’ll never be able to watch this movie completely.
I was is high school during 9/11. Literally was in US History II when the news broke. My teacher ran to grab the TV. We all watched in horror as the second plane hit. It'll live with me forever.
As a USAF veteran I wasnt too concerned when the furst plane hit. News wasnt clear, I was listening to radio, driving to McCormick place in chicago for a convention. Tuned in to mancow in the morning, heard about the second aircraft, heard that the plane was commercial and knew, KNEW it was terrorism. My heart sank and I called my boss to see if we were still going to setup for the convention. After all, the convention center (a target, I told my boss) can have attendance of almost 40k people per day, for each of the 8 days if the chicago auto show. Maybe there were about 1000 people, mostly vendors (was the day before convention opening), very few attendees bc all the airlines were grounded by 11:00 am.
It was precisely the American government that blew up the twin towers... they had to have an excuse to kill Afghan civilians for oil .... shameful country
I was there at ground 0 on that morning and went back the next morning to do emergency backup work for my bank for the next 3 days. Stuff I saw still haunts me today.
I was there as well. I can not even see images of the Towers without crying. I watched it smolder every morning for 3 months coming over the Manhattan Bridge on the train. It was the longest-burning fire in history. I was able to get down there on the 3rd day because they would not allow me to leave Manhattan for Brooklyn. I walked downtown and the police and soldiers let me through. What I saw was not real. Had serious PTSD and If you dropped a piece of paper in front of me, I would cry uncontrollably. There was wailing everywhere in the city for months to come. Waking up at my girlfriend's place on the Upper West Side on September 12, was truly the worst day of my life. I thought it was a dream and as I woke, it slowly dawned on me that it was not. I hope that those people are with God now.
Honestly when this movie came out, I thought it was a little too soon. 2006 was only 5yrs after 9/11 and it was still fresh in everyone’s minds. It’s like cmon guys the families are still grieving
I am from the UK and I was 5 when this happened. I was just finishing school when I got home and saw the news. It was about 14:30 here so it was about 9:00 in NY. Although I was only 5, I still have vivid memories of getting home from school and even being just a kid, I knew how serious this was. My mum and me watched the news in horror and awe for hours. 9/11 changed the world. Nothing on this scale had ever happened. At a time when The USA seemed so strong and unstoppable. I remember thinking "How did they manage to do this to America". 9/11 will never be forgotten.
Thank you for sharing this. I often wondered what people’s perspectives were outside of the US. I was 10 at the time and I remember how different life was in the US before this happened. After 9/11, everything changed. I will never forget.
Goes on to say that no matter how strong or powerful you become, you can still be vulnerable to something in life. Most powerful thing in life is not something which is unbeatable but is the one has only friends an no enemies.
I remember on a news station during the actual attack even before the 2nd plane hit “Do you think this is another terrorist attack, remember 1993?” I think after 93’ at least 50% of people had a strong feeling the first plane was no accident. The 2nd plane hit just reassured what they were already feeling or fearing
i remember speaking with coworkers about how a plane could hit the first tower - we thought it was an accident. I told them how a plane hit the Empire State building back in the 40's (i think) and could it have happened again? Then, the second plane hit. Everyone knew it was no accident, and the world had changed in ways we couldn't have imagined just hours earlier on that day in September.
Here in the UK we had a lot of resentment at sections of the USA (Noraid) supplying weapons etc to the IRA for decades that were used in Northern Ireland and here in the UK to kill British civilians (Men, women AND children!). I remember on 11th September being on a construction site where there was a radio on and on hearing news of the second plane and so understanding that it WAS deliberate people saying "GOOD - let's see how you like having a taste of it in your country"!
In my freshman year of high school, I was home with the flu. It was the 1st week of school. I remember waking up and thought die hard was on TV. Walked out to the living room, and my mom was crying. I realized that at that point, nothing would ever be the same again. I'm now 40, and my god, how times have changed.
This movie really captured the bewilderment of like being there not realizing it was an attack and not even realizing that the second building was also hit. God bless everyone.
It breaks my heart to know that the first responders who survived and got cancer from exposure didn't get any help from this country and had to go to court for it. Damn shame.
9 years old. I stayed home that day. I think my mom kept my brother and I there intentionally. We were living with my grandparents, aunt, and one uncle at the time. My dad (he is still alive) was less than 5 miles from NYC for work. He remembers calling my mom whenever he had the first chance to; he told her that he was okay, but that they saw heavy smoke in NYC from where he was. We heard about the other planes later on. I was 9, so that was 3rd grade? A year later - YEAR. LATER. I was in 4th grade; met this kid, Zachary Munoz. He went to our school year before, but never saw him. Come to find out, one of his uncles was on one of the planes that hit the Towers.
Regardless of who they are or where they were, I'm always interested in hearing people retell that day from their perspective. Guess because I was alive during this time but remember so little of it, and it's one of those days people remember exactly where they were and what they were doing that day. Even the tiniest details stick with them, and never forget when the world changed. I was only 3 years old living in the Midwest when this happened, so I remember next to nothing of that day. The only things that really stick out was my mom driving me and my older brother to preschool that morning, and only in hindsight did I realize she didn't have her usual country music playing in the car. They were broadcasting the events though I had no awareness or recollection of what was being said, but we quickly turned around back home. The tv was switched on while I was playing with my toys on the living room floor, and when I looked up I saw the towers on screen, both were covered in smoke.
I was roughly 6yrs old and I will never forget hearing the school intercoms saying the towers had been hit. Then seeing the TV flip on moments later and seeing the towers on fire as people jumped from the buildings to escape the fires. I was confused, mortified and truly unable to really understand the horror I was witnessing on live television.....which we were sent home from school shortly after...
No dude, it is hard to re-live. Even now, 22 years later, I still bear the scars. I should not have even watched this video. All I will say is that day, even the atheists prayed. @@macman975
this film will become one of those i will stay away from watching. it's been 23 yrs but being reminded of the pain of those who suffered remains too much even just to see the image
It’s not often you get to say you know exactly where you were at when some major event happened. I was in school and everybody in my class went home early when their parents picked them up, We were supposed to go out rollerskating for my party, but we never went anywhere that night. I didn’t watch this movie till probably 10 years after it came out
I was 11 years old when 9/11 happened I remember not knowing anything until I got to school and the teacher rolling out the TV on wheels and seeing it at the time my young mind didn't have the capacity or understanding to process the impact of what I was actually seeing happening live it's crazy watching all the footage and movies now how traumatizing it most likely was for the adults around me and how they had to stay strong for all the kids around them
I was in high school when this happened. West coast, so it all happened before i even woke up. Heard about it on the radio, too. I remember the announcers sounded absolutely stunned, and it was so weird hearing the pop music in between news updates. We had gym class outside that day, and we all just stood on the field, watching dozens of planes circling. So many flights were diverted and even yvr didnt have enough runways for all of them.
I was like 9 when this happened and I still remember kids getting picked up by parents in school leaving us so confused and the thickness of grey smoke in the air, the day was so quiet too.
I was at work and watched the whole thing unfold live on the Today show. We were all watching the first tower on fire thinking what a horrible accident. Then you could see that plane clear as the back of my hand heading right into the second tower like a goddamned movie. You could feel the air get sucked out of our room, the gasps and every s word and f word you could think of - except my supervisor. After everyone got their words out he simply said "Binladen".
Yeah, unbelievable. Especially where leadership was concerned. How in the devil were four giant commercial planes able to be hijacked and then sneak their way through our military defenses undetected? I had never felt so unsafe in my own country after that. Our military today is still a joke.
It will happen again, but 10 times worse, because we forgot what we said we’d never forget The right Pakistani palm gets greased and the unthinkable becomes reality
I was living in Detroit at the time. About 830am my neighbor who was heavily pregnant asks me to drive her to the hospital. We get th😮ere and she has a deathgrip around my hand saying i cant leave until her husband gets there. He gets there around 930ish and hes white as a sheet. The only TV is in the lobby and I didnt have a clue. His face tells me that something is going on but dont upset her. The baby is crowning so the Doctors and nurses get to business taking care of their patient. I take this as my cue to get a cup of coffee as she releases her grip off my hand. I make my way and see theres the entire staff except for the doctor and the nurses taking care of the delivery watching the TV and the scene unfolding in NYC and the Pentagon. After getting ill, i make my way back to see whats happened with my friends. She has the Absolute Biggest smile on her face, she has 2 newborn babies, twin girls, 1 in her arms, the other in her husband's. She says hey look, Twins Girls! Funny how, the amount of Evil outside couldnt penetrate that room. We told her what happened in NYC the following day.
@@gmlviper They also announced tower 7 had collapsed at least five minutes BEFORE it came down. There is a BBC news reporter saying it, and you can see the tower in the distance still standing.
I remember working at AMC Cinemas from 2005-2008. We were at a dry time of the year. No particular blockbusters playing. A guest asked our box office cashier what she would recommend. She mentioned this movie, and he refused to see it. I remember to this day him saying, "America's still healing from 9/11..." Something I won't forget
The calling of the names of death. That scene reminds me of Chernobyl when the men stepped up with their names. All of them not knowing what they were getting into.
It’s insane how these paramedics went from drinking coffee at the station to risking in their lives, and many, ultimately losing theirs to save thousands of people.
If you weren’t alive or old enough on that day to remember this, I want to assure you this is true - in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 there were no Democrats. There were no Republicans. There were no white Americans. There were no black Americans. There were no rich Americans. There were no poor Americans. There was simply AMERICANS. It was indescribable feeling. Nobody cared who you were or what you believed. Everyone wanted to help each other , and there was a sense of American pride that I wish we could rekindle.
I worked a swing shift 12 hour days and got up that morning to get around for work. I called my Grandma like I usially did to check in and thats when she told me we are under attack, I didnt know what she ment but we got off the phone I continued to get around for work. It was cold that morning in Michigan so I went out to warm up my truck. It was on the radio I ran in amd turned on the tv I couldnt believe what I was seeing. Fear, anger at the same time watching those people jump still haunts me. I enlisted in the Marines in October and was in Parris Island in January.
What I liked about this movie is that it focused mostly on the reactions and experiences of people and not the spectacle of the fire and disaster, you don't see either of the impacts, or the towers collapse, there's only a few seconds of footage of the towers burning, the rest focuses on the experience of the first responders who were there. It gives a much different perspective on the events and it really connects people with the victims
I remember when this movie came out, a lot of people were angry because it was too soon to have a movie about 911.... RIP to the thousands that die that day.
13 years old, living in Finland. I think it was afternoon here, I'd come home (after school, or was it later afternoon, can't remember exactly) and my mom told me a plane had hit the World Trade Center in New York. Pretty soon after she'd said that the second plane hit the other tower. I just remember thinking "it'll be war now". First was a mistake or an accident and after the second everybody knew it's intended. I don't think I watched it live when the first tower collapsed, but I did see it pretty soon after it happened. It's just something you will remember the rest of your life.
I was in a Department Store in Germany, watching this live on a TV in the electronics department. Stayed there until they closed and sent everybody home.
I was in college in Fairfield Connecticut. The students are able to rent beach houses and I was one of them. On a very clear day one could make out the shadows of the Twin Towers. By late morning I could see huge plumes of smoke looking down the Long IslandSound towards NYC. My accounting class began at 9AM and my Professor said “I guess everyone has heard the news.” then went on teaching. I hadn’t heard anything yet and a friend told me a small plane hit the trade center. After class I walked to the lobby of the business school where a crowd of people huddled around a big screen TV. By that time there were replays of all the terrible events. Unlike most who saw the events unfold in real time, I had to process it all at once. I felt sick, like I wanted to throw up. MANY classmates had family in NYC. Nobody will ever forget where they were when they heard the news that day…
My grandmother was fated to be on the plane that went into the second tower. She would have been on that plane if a short in the electricity didn’t reset her alarm clock in the middle of the night. She was at the airport bar cussing her luck until my mom called her and told her to look at the news.
yes you can see Jimena seeing a shadow of a plane (which according to real Jimena's account happened irl), news reports and then people saying the second tower was hit, but they didn't show actual impact or even the actual collapsing of buildings (from outside) outside of it being a poor taste to show so soon (if ever), the movie also follows (mostly) the accounts of real people, policemen who seemingly didn't see the impact or the collapse
Most viewed event in history and it’s not even close. 2 billion people watched the second tower get hit, and watched both towers collapse. I was in 7th grade when this happened and the world stopped. The entire day, nobody was taught anything in school. Everybody was watching tv. The single most shocking thing I’ve ever witnessed was that first tower coming down. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever thing the entire building was going to collapse.
People from the United States always wanting to break records like if it was a show on tv . If the Eiffel tower’s gets hit right now it will break the 2 billion “record”
I’m in a small town in Ontario, Canada. I was in grade 5 in elementary school. I remember our principle asked all the teachers to gather us (grade 5-8) to the gym. They told us that there were planes flying into building on the USA. It’s funny when you’re young and you can understand what’s being said to you, but you can’t actually comprehend that information in an adult way. It was just a weird blurry time when I was absorbing what was being told. Then watching my dad glued to the tv after work for the following months, just in a trance watching how everything was unfolding when it initially happened then when the US went to war
Had college classes in the morning and family woke me up. We all watched the news report they kept showing different angles of footage. There was live footage, and the second plane crashed in at a closer angle. I stood up and said " Was that.. was that another plane hitting it?!" My family said no that was just earlier footage of the inital hit. Couple seconds went by and I saw the angle as they zoomed out, there was two strikes, I repeated no thats another hit, a different plane, my family lost their $#@%, was a crazy day.

What was the exposure that gave them cancer??
The first plane people thought it was an accident. The second plane hitting it was the scariest thing ever
Yep and not a cloud in sight, otherwise you could’ve possibly thought it was because of bad visibility.
My 1st reaction was 'What kind of an idiot flies right into the World Trade Center? Are they blind? They can't see the Twin Towers right in front of them?'
But when we heard about the 2nd plane hitting directly into the Towers....then we knew. 😟😯
It was obvious that it wasn't a small private plane as first reported.
My first reaction was why my teacher is crying, we have seen other planes hit skyscrapers but it was through my seventh period class when I learned how we were being under attacked it felt scary even when I wasn’t in NYC
People watching the flow of air traffic after the north tower had been hit watched as they saw another plane descending quickly and they knew the plane that hit the north tower was no accident
1:12 *"Maybe they ran outta gas or something."*

That sinking realization when the 2nd plane hit - that feeling is somethig I will never forget. 17 years old, senior year of high school. The world as I knew it was gone.

17yo senior here too in 2001. Second period english class. Knew a plane crashed into one tower at the start of class per our teacher but then heard about the second via a PA announcement halfway through the class from the principal who so eloquently stated "Students, America is under attack" to start his message. Spent most of the rest of the day just watching news coverage on TV in classrooms with limited TVs or the auditorium. Somehow 6th period spanish teacher did a regular lesson and pretended nothing was wrong but she might have been the only one in the school who did so.
Same here. I was a senior in highschool when we saw the news. When we saw the 2nd plane go in, we all knew everything was different from here on
Yeah. I was 21 and just started my career / my first job. I was in a sale room and a customer said "In the USA a large plane has just flown into the World Trade Center!"
My first thoughts was "oh no, wat a stupid pilot" and my second "oh no... all the people!! I hope there aren't too many victims"
Than - after a while (we started TV and radio) we saw the second impact. . .. and a cold shiver came over me. I knew - The USA was under attack and I somehow felt that the world - as I knew it - was going to change.
I was a 14 year old freshman.
Crazy they had the balls to reenact this only 5 years after the event.
From that perspective they were making movies about Iraq and Afghanistan before they were even over. People in Iraq could technically watch a movie about a war in Iraq and then step outside and see it for real.
A movie about the Titanic came out a month after the sinking.
“Da movie show hurted my wittle feewings mommy”
They did the same with “United 93”

Fun fact - the cop who gives Rodriguez a pat on the shoulder as Sarge calls out ‘Giraldi’ and ‘Pezzulo’ on the roll call of cops going downtown is the real Will Jimeno
I remember seeing this on the news when I was 7 years old.
I didn't know what was going on at the time (too young), but i'll never forget the faces of people around me in the TV room that day.
Something you never forget.
Same, i was 9, my mom shook me out of bed to watch the news, my step dad at the time was flying for work so she was freaking out, i was awake enough to see the second plane hit, even though i was on the west coast, seeing the plane disapear and a fireball shoot out, fucking scared me.
More concerned about who gets voted off "Dancing With The Stars".
I was six and I was playing with wooden blocks when the TV was turned on. It was crazy. I bet I didn't realise how many died that day but the tension was sensible when we ate (carrot stew)
Never forget
My POV from France (8yo) :
Was watching a kid show on national TV at Grandma's house, my mom came to get me. They had small talks, I was enjoying the show and suddenly it's interrupted. My mom changed the channel over and over until she found another kid show. My mom explained to me the situation the next day before school ending with "Some kids know gifts are bought by their parents for Christmas, some kids don't. Do not talk about this to your classmates unless they talk about it first". Afternoon were cancelled, and the entire school were reunited to discuss what we all saw
“Prepared for anything, But not this, Not somethin this size.” That hit deep
I mean, yeah, the plane reached the core of the building...
/j
Yeah im searching for this comment..we know WTC is such a really big office building at that time..plus its twin and hit at the very high floor
That's what she said
this comment could have different meanings...but the video is about tragedy so
Can’t imagine people on the floors that got hit. Just looking out the window and seeing a plane about to crash into you. Truly sad
I'll never forget that morning. Coming out of basic training waiting on my tech school to start, leaders had us doing clean up duty around our dorms. As soon as the 1st place hit we were all glued to tv then saw the next plane hit, we knew right then n there we were on the verge of a war. God bless all them innocent people who died that day and to all the 1st responders, and all the soldiers who have died ever since fighting that war.
One of my old neighbors was in the last stages of training for the Air Force at the time. They weren’t told exactly what happened and were just told to prepare the base for full combat readiness, sandbags and all. Everybody thought it was just a drill because the US couldn’t really be under attack. It was only during evening roll call that the COs informed people and it immediately caused a rush to the phones as soon as they were released.
I was getting ready for work that morning in Houston and it was not quite 8am when everything started. Watching it unfold on TV was crazy. I lived and worked within 3 miles of IAH airport at the time. I was used to hearing/seeing dozens of jets climbing out over my area every hour, so the following 3 days of silence were the eeriest, creepiest 3 days of my life.
I always wondered what the feeling was when there was another plane crash nearby was it something like a month later?
I was a senior in high school that day. Houston as well. My class watched the events live during third period that ironically was my history class and we saw the towers collapse.
I worked at HP in Houston on 9/11. I was driving into work when I heard about the first plane. I got out of a meeting when I heard about the second. Everything stopped after that.
That area back then must’ve been middle of nowhere golly Iah is even now in the woods and man crazy in 2001 Sasha Dominguez was already a reporter for NBC…ncie to meet another houston Ian but also one who’s lived there since this time. Tragic what happened we must never forget!!
I was bearly 7 or 8 in first grade i think when this happened Im from Houston too i always wondered what our city went thru when did took place
I couldn’t tell you what I had for dinner a week ago but I remember every awful moment of that day. I was 22 years old and in Job Corp at the time. Being a federal campus anyone living on campus was stuck because they went into lock down
nice. I did job corps too
I'm from the UK, I was playing a game online on a US server and suddenly the chat filled up with profanities and then everyone disconnected, I remember that moment distinctly wondering what on earth could have happened that had people all over America react like that at the same time.
Even here the rest of the day was very eerie, you had no idea whether it was just the start of something bigger and whether there would be attacks of this scale all over the West.
My husband and I saw this movie in the theater. He did know they would portray his childhood friend who died that day as a police office saving as many people he could.
Can’t imagine the pain but also pride of seeing that
@@Welshie. it was a shock, I meant to say he did know his friend was portrayed. He got choked up seeing it. His friend is Chris. Infact there is a picture that goes around Facebook showing a police officer that is clearly injured helping a woman out. That is Chris.
Do you still seriously believe it was bin ladder?
@@jarkkolouhe11 no one even mentioned bin Laden here, stop trying to stir shit up
I remember after work i went out for dinner and drinks than I come home watch it on news but I am shock that they made a movie of it less than 6 months because it takes yrs to make movies but for this one I was shock until now they still not telling us who did it but I remember the USA media blame Muslims but there was Muslims in that buildings that die
At 3:16, the look on McLaughlin’s face knowing that no one was prepared for this attack whatsoever. Especially that they used commercial airline planes to attack the towers 😢
"There could be fifty or sixty thousand people in there." Is pretty damn chilling when you consider it could have very likely been the case if this had happened later in the day, as it was there was "only" like 16-20,000 people.
Beyond the massive evacuation of almost 25k of people within the World Trade Center complex, was the largest flotilla
of boats, yachts and ferries ever used to evacuate thousands to safety in New Jersey, etc.
RIP to all those lost 🙏
.** closer to *** like 16-20 but either way, tough
@@christophermyers3758 My uncle was on one of those boats but going the other way. He was a firefighter in a fire house very close to the WTC. He happened to be on vacation at the time in LBI. When he saw the news he immediately got in his car and headed back to the bridge. Obviously the bridges were closed so he found a guy with a boat and asked him to take him over to Manhattan. By the time he got there the towers had already collapsed so he mostly helped with search and rescue operations. He lost everyone in his firehouse who was on duty that day. You could tell it hurt him very deeply. He still isn't 100% tbh.
It's crazy.....if the planes had been hijacked even just an hour later, there would've been a lot more casualties. The guy in this clip even said that "there could be 50 to 60 thousand inside"

Nick Cage showing up just made it instantly silly for me.
true
consider it a skill of his
Did you watch the rest of the movie? Definitely not silly. But I can understand that as a first reaction.
Yep total wooden top !!
Impossible to take the guy seriously
@@rizzo-filmsHe did well. I really felt the ordeal he was playing in his role.
Its crazy how much this event is etched into our memory, even if you were on the other side of the planet.
I was a secondary school student in Ireland. I get home for my lunchbreak, walk into the sitting room to see my mother glued to the TV after tower one was hit.
Then we were watching together as the news showed that infamous visual of the second plane striking the other tower.
We both screamed for a second then our voices caught when the towers fell...I still remember that silence.
I didn't go back to school that day, we spent the rest of that afternoon all together.
Everyone felt this way. The reasons varied but it was also because in 2001 America seemed invincible. It won the Cold War and was the sole Superpower on the planet. That anyone would attack the strongest nation on the planet was shocking. That so many lives were lost was shocking. After so much loss everyone knew there would be a response and not a regular response but a massive one. 20 Years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan was the response. We only stopped because we became weary of it. But we were 100% to 100 years of war back in 2001 on September 12th.
Never knew Shane was at 911
He wasn’t 😂😂 but good callout to the actor Jon Bernthal and his next dead character or should I say the walking dead character 😁
And Fabrizio

I will never forgot the moment i realized they banked the plane, and turned it towards the second tower. I started mumbling, "they turned".
Then i started yelling to my wife, "they did that on purpose".
Because i couldn't believe it.
2:55 man I miss the flip phones era!

He means
The guy standing infront of the character of Pezzulo is the REAL Will Jimeno playing as the character of Stolzman
When the one officer says "Holy s***" it reminds me of the film clip of the French filmers who got the only known view of the first strike. You hear the cops in the street exclaim like that. And when that real authentic film was put on national tv, in a documentary, some holier than thou folks objected to airing the profanity. Those guys weren't cussing gratuitosly, they were reacting in disbelief to what they witnessed.
Incredible how the French documentary camera crew just happened to be covering NYC first responders on that day. They captured alot of historical footage
@@lindaeasley5606 They had been filming for some months, following the training of a rookie fiefighter. That's why they got to go along, and filmed inside the one tower. Their camera lights helped the firefighters when the other tower went down and the power went out.
Which footage is this?
There's some other footage of the first crash, it was filmed from a car and you can just make out the impact in one corner. I think the guy had just got a video camera and was testing it out. I don't think he even realised what he had for years.
@@deniseeulert2503Pavel Hlava also got flight 11 hitting WTC 1.
I think he was in Brooklyn when he captured that moment.

I was is high school during 9/11. Literally was in US History II when the news broke. My teacher ran to grab the TV. We all watched in horror as the second plane hit. It'll live with me forever.
As a USAF veteran I wasnt too concerned when the furst plane hit. News wasnt clear, I was listening to radio, driving to McCormick place in chicago for a convention. Tuned in to mancow in the morning, heard about the second aircraft, heard that the plane was commercial and knew, KNEW it was terrorism. My heart sank and I called my boss to see if we were still going to setup for the convention. After all, the convention center (a target, I told my boss) can have attendance of almost 40k people per day, for each of the 8 days if the chicago auto show.
Maybe there were about 1000 people, mostly vendors (was the day before convention opening), very few attendees bc all the airlines were grounded by 11:00 am.
Yes, I heard a random auto show convention was on Osama's hit list... right between Six Flags and a movie theater in Sheboygan!
It was precisely the American government that blew up the twin towers... they had to have an excuse to kill Afghan civilians for oil .... shameful country
2:07 on the right is the real Will Jimeno
I was there at ground 0 on that morning and went back the next morning to do emergency backup work for my bank for the next 3 days. Stuff I saw still haunts me today.
I was there as well. I can not even see images of the Towers without crying. I watched it smolder every morning for 3 months coming over the Manhattan Bridge on the train. It was the longest-burning fire in history. I was able to get down there on the 3rd day because they would not allow me to leave Manhattan for Brooklyn. I walked downtown and the police and soldiers let me through. What I saw was not real. Had serious PTSD and If you dropped a piece of paper in front of me, I would cry uncontrollably. There was wailing everywhere in the city for months to come.
Waking up at my girlfriend's place on the Upper West Side on September 12, was truly the worst day of my life. I thought it was a dream and as I woke, it slowly dawned on me that it was not.
I hope that those people are with God now.
Honestly when this movie came out, I thought it was a little too soon. 2006 was only 5yrs after 9/11 and it was still fresh in everyone’s minds. It’s like cmon guys the families are still grieving
not like they were making fun of it or anything. Also that's still 5 years or half a decade its not really a small amount of time.
@@Greenhawk4 they weren’t poking fun, but they commercialized a recent tragedy. Unlike Schindler’s list, Pearl Harbor or even titanic

I am from the UK and I was 5 when this happened. I was just finishing school when I got home and saw the news. It was about 14:30 here so it was about 9:00 in NY. Although I was only 5, I still have vivid memories of getting home from school and even being just a kid, I knew how serious this was. My mum and me watched the news in horror and awe for hours. 9/11 changed the world. Nothing on this scale had ever happened. At a time when The USA seemed so strong and unstoppable. I remember thinking "How did they manage to do this to America". 9/11 will never be forgotten.
You’re from the UK and say “My mum and me?” It’s my Mum and I…”.
@@michaeldonnelly2977 Yeah. Believe it or not but not every English person has perfect grammar.
Thank you for sharing this. I often wondered what people’s perspectives were outside of the US. I was 10 at the time and I remember how different life was in the US before this happened. After 9/11, everything changed. I will never forget.
Goes on to say that no matter how strong or powerful you become, you can still be vulnerable to something in life.
Most powerful thing in life is not something which is unbeatable but is the one has only friends an no enemies.
I remember on a news station during the actual attack even before the 2nd plane hit “Do you think this is another terrorist attack, remember 1993?” I think after 93’ at least 50% of people had a strong feeling the first plane was no accident. The 2nd plane hit just reassured what they were already feeling or fearing
i remember speaking with coworkers about how a plane could hit the first tower - we thought it was an accident. I told them how a plane hit the Empire State building back in the 40's (i think) and could it have happened again?
Then, the second plane hit. Everyone knew it was no accident, and the world had changed in ways we couldn't have imagined just hours earlier on that day in September.
Here in the UK we had a lot of resentment at sections of the USA (Noraid) supplying weapons etc to the IRA for decades that were used in Northern Ireland and here in the UK to kill British civilians (Men, women AND children!). I remember on 11th September being on a construction site where there was a radio on and on hearing news of the second plane and so understanding that it WAS deliberate people saying "GOOD - let's see how you like having a taste of it in your country"!
In my freshman year of high school, I was home with the flu. It was the 1st week of school. I remember waking up and thought die hard was on TV. Walked out to the living room, and my mom was crying. I realized that at that point, nothing would ever be the same again. I'm now 40, and my god, how times have changed.
Shane before the apocalypse
He said to hell with ny I’m movin back to Georgia
This movie really captured the bewilderment of like being there not realizing it was an attack and not even realizing that the second building was also hit.
God bless everyone.
Compare the cops uniforms with how they look now. The level of militarization in the last 10 years is just too much man
saddest thing is that POLICE CORRUPTION has endured every uniform...so far
Go to every other country in the world and see how corrupt they are
@@dopeytripod the saddest fact in America.
Funniest thing about that is that the reason the police are so militarized now is because of 9/11
how they look now? meaning caps and bulletproof vests?
It breaks my heart to know that the first responders who survived and got cancer from exposure didn't get any help from this country and had to go to court for it. Damn shame.
3:44 on September 11th 2001 American Airlines Flight 11 crash into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 am
9 years old. I stayed home that day. I think my mom kept my brother and I there intentionally. We were living with my grandparents, aunt, and one uncle at the time. My dad (he is still alive) was less than 5 miles from NYC for work. He remembers calling my mom whenever he had the first chance to; he told her that he was okay, but that they saw heavy smoke in NYC from where he was. We heard about the other planes later on. I was 9, so that was 3rd grade? A year later - YEAR. LATER. I was in 4th grade; met this kid, Zachary Munoz. He went to our school year before, but never saw him. Come to find out, one of his uncles was on one of the planes that hit the Towers.
Regardless of who they are or where they were, I'm always interested in hearing people retell that day from their perspective. Guess because I was alive during this time but remember so little of it, and it's one of those days people remember exactly where they were and what they were doing that day. Even the tiniest details stick with them, and never forget when the world changed.
I was only 3 years old living in the Midwest when this happened, so I remember next to nothing of that day. The only things that really stick out was my mom driving me and my older brother to preschool that morning, and only in hindsight did I realize she didn't have her usual country music playing in the car. They were broadcasting the events though I had no awareness or recollection of what was being said, but we quickly turned around back home. The tv was switched on while I was playing with my toys on the living room floor, and when I looked up I saw the towers on screen, both were covered in smoke.
You are lucky. I wish that I were never there. I still can not look at videos without crying.
@@justanotherguy469Please elaborate?
I was roughly 6yrs old and I will never forget hearing the school intercoms saying the towers had been hit.

It’s not often you get to say you know exactly where you were at when some major event happened.

I didn’t watch this movie till probably 10 years after it came out
I was 11 years old when 9/11 happened I remember not knowing anything until I got to school and the teacher rolling out the TV on wheels and seeing it at the time my young mind didn't have the capacity or understanding to process the impact of what I was actually seeing happening live it's crazy watching all the footage and movies now how traumatizing it most likely was for the adults around me and how they had to stay strong for all the kids around them
Were you 11yo and 9 months ?
23 years later this still gives me goosebumps whenever i think about it.
I was in high school when this happened. West coast, so it all happened before i even woke up. Heard about it on the radio, too. I remember the announcers sounded absolutely stunned, and it was so weird hearing the pop music in between news updates. We had gym class outside that day, and we all just stood on the field, watching dozens of planes circling. So many flights were diverted and even yvr didnt have enough runways for all of them.
I was like 9 when this happened and I still remember kids getting picked up by parents in school leaving us so confused and the thickness of grey smoke in the air, the day was so quiet too.
I was at work and watched the whole thing unfold live on the Today show. We were all watching the first tower on fire thinking what a horrible accident. Then you could see that plane clear as the back of my hand heading right into the second tower like a goddamned movie. You could feel the air get sucked out of our room, the gasps and every s word and f word you could think of - except my supervisor. After everyone got their words out he simply said "Binladen".
"I haven't seen the movie, but from watching the clips, I can say that it failed to convey the emotions that were experienced that day."

I was living in Detroit at the time. About 830am my neighbor who was heavily pregnant asks me to drive her to the hospital. We get th😮ere and she has a deathgrip around my hand saying i cant leave until her husband gets there. He gets there around 930ish and hes white as a sheet. The only TV is in the lobby and I didnt have a clue. His face tells me that something is going on but dont upset her.
The baby is crowning so the Doctors and nurses get to business taking care of their patient. I take this as my cue to get a cup of coffee as she releases her grip off my hand. I make my way and see theres the entire staff except for the doctor and the nurses taking care of the delivery watching the TV and the scene unfolding in NYC and the Pentagon. After getting ill, i make my way back to see whats happened with my friends. She has the Absolute Biggest smile on her face, she has 2 newborn babies, twin girls, 1 in her arms, the other in her husband's. She says hey look, Twins Girls!
Funny how, the amount of Evil outside couldnt penetrate that room. We told her what happened in NYC the following day.
3.45. film mistake. A few seconds ago the guy told that the other tower was hit but in this scene you see the other tower still untouched.

I remember working at AMC Cinemas from 2005-2008. We were at a dry time of the year. No particular blockbusters playing. A guest asked our box office cashier what she would recommend. She mentioned this movie, and he refused to see it. I remember to this day him saying, "America's still healing from 9/11..." Something I won't forget
The calling of the names of death. That scene reminds me of Chernobyl when the men stepped up with their names. All of them not knowing what they were getting into.
It’s insane how these paramedics went from drinking coffee at the station to risking in their lives, and many, ultimately losing theirs to save thousands of people.
Even right now it's too soon to make a film about the World Trade Center, it was disturbing to watch this movie in 2006, only 5 years after 9/11.
1:30 how can anyone take this movie seriously
If you weren’t alive or old enough on that day to remember this, I want to assure you this is true - in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 there were no Democrats. There were no Republicans. There were no white Americans. There were no black Americans. There were no rich Americans. There were no poor Americans. There was simply AMERICANS. It was indescribable feeling. Nobody cared who you were or what you believed. Everyone wanted to help each other , and there was a sense of American pride that I wish we could rekindle.
I worked a swing shift 12 hour days and got up that morning to get around for work. I called my Grandma like I usially did to check in and thats when she told me we are under attack, I didnt know what she ment but we got off the phone I continued to get around for work. It was cold that morning in Michigan so I went out to warm up my truck. It was on the radio I ran in amd turned on the tv I couldnt believe what I was seeing. Fear, anger at the same time watching those people jump still haunts me. I enlisted in the Marines in October and was in Parris Island in January.
I’m so glad they censored the word “shit”. That’s clearly the worst thing to happen in this movie.
These videos with these comments reminds me how doomed we are as a race. Thank You.. Proved me right.
2:30 lol it’s kinda funny that the cops have to take the bus
What I liked about this movie is that it focused mostly on the reactions and experiences of people and not the spectacle of the fire and disaster, you don't see either of the impacts, or the towers collapse, there's only a few seconds of footage of the towers burning, the rest focuses on the experience of the first responders who were there. It gives a much different perspective on the events and it really connects people with the victims
I remember when this movie came out, a lot of people were angry because it was too soon to have a movie about 911.... RIP to the thousands that die that day.

13 years old, living in Finland. I think it was afternoon here, I'd come home (after school, or was it later afternoon, can't remember exactly) and my mom told me a plane had hit the World Trade Center in New York. Pretty soon after she'd said that the second plane hit the other tower. I just remember thinking "it'll be war now". First was a mistake or an accident and after the second everybody knew it's intended. I don't think I watched it live when the first tower collapsed, but I did see it pretty soon after it happened. It's just something you will remember the rest of your life.

I was in college in Fairfield Connecticut. The students are able to rent beach houses and I was one of them. On a very clear day one could make out the shadows of the Twin Towers. By late morning I could see huge plumes of smoke looking down the Long IslandSound towards NYC.
My accounting class began at 9AM and my Professor said “I guess everyone has heard the news.” then went on teaching. I hadn’t heard anything yet and a friend told me a small plane hit the trade center. After class I walked to the lobby of the business school where a crowd of people huddled around a big screen TV. By that time there were replays of all the terrible events. Unlike most who saw the events unfold in real time, I had to process it all at once. I felt sick, like I wanted to throw up. MANY classmates had family in NYC.
Nobody will ever forget where they were when they heard the news that day…
Do they really have to beep out the curses?
Yeah it’s TH-cam. They don’t censor like TikTok does. 😊
My grandmother was fated to be on the plane that went into the second tower. She would have been on that plane if a short in the electricity didn’t reset her alarm clock in the middle of the night. She was at the airport bar cussing her luck until my mom called her and told her to look at the news.
Trailblazers didn’t come out until 2002. Peep the one at 0:12
Oh no! Someone put time inaccurate set-dressing! How will New York recover from this?
The 2002 model year would have been on show room floors in August/Sept of 2001 so not completely impossible
Am i the only one that had a gut wrenching feeling when Sgt was calling out the names?
Did the crash really happen offscreen in this film?
Yes.
It was only about 3 years after, it would have been in pretty bad taste to make it a "hey check out our awesome CGI doodz"
@@worldcomicsreview354 5 but yes, still not a good idea
yes
you can see Jimena seeing a shadow of a plane (which according to real Jimena's account happened irl), news reports and then people saying the second tower was hit, but they didn't show actual impact or even the actual collapsing of buildings (from outside)
outside of it being a poor taste to show so soon (if ever), the movie also follows (mostly) the accounts of real people, policemen who seemingly didn't see the impact or the collapse
I remember saying to my wife I reckon a small pleasure flight hit the tower. We turned news on and saw the second hit. Never forget that day. RIP.
One should watch films like these even if they’re torturing your feelings?
What p*sses me off is kids born after not knowing what 9/11 is.
Not the people who did it?
Most viewed event in history and it’s not even close. 2 billion people watched the second tower get hit, and watched both towers collapse.
I was in 7th grade when this happened and the world stopped. The entire day, nobody was taught anything in school. Everybody was watching tv. The single most shocking thing I’ve ever witnessed was that first tower coming down. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever thing the entire building was going to collapse.
Fifa World Cup final has more viewers
People from the United States always wanting to break records like if it was a show on tv . If the Eiffel tower’s gets hit right now it will break the 2 billion “record”

I was in 7th grade to meaning you were born in 1989 to
I had no idea this movie was made. I am on it now. Thank you for posting this bit.
1:27 when there’s a National treasure inside the world trade center
I thought the same thing. "I'm going downtown...to steal the Declaration of Independence."
Must’ve been Jon bernthal’s first acting gig.
So that was him! I had to rewind because I thought so but he didn't appear again in the scene so I wasn't sure. He looks so young here
See: 'The Pacific'
He plays Sgt. Manny Rodriguez, very young looking in the role.
Him getting killed off TWD was the best thing to happen to his career.
I’m in a small town in Ontario, Canada. I was in grade 5 in elementary school. I remember our principle asked all the teachers to gather us (grade 5-8) to the gym. They told us that there were planes flying into building on the USA.
It’s funny when you’re young and you can understand what’s being said to you, but you can’t actually comprehend that information in an adult way. It was just a weird blurry time when I was absorbing what was being told.
Then watching my dad glued to the tv after work for the following months, just in a trance watching how everything was unfolding when it initially happened then when the US went to war
Had college classes in the morning and family woke me up. We all watched the news report
they kept showing different angles of footage. There was live footage, and the second plane crashed in at a
closer angle. I stood up and said " Was that.. was that another plane hitting it?!" My family said no that was just
earlier footage of the inital hit. Couple seconds went by and I saw the angle as they zoomed out, there was two strikes,
I repeated no thats another hit, a different plane, my family lost their $#@%, was a crazy day.
