By far, the most realistic portrayal of the first responders to 9/11. 'Third Watch' was one of the only shows that truly showed how first responders reacted.
3rd Watch used real NYPD and FDNY staff as extras to the cast and as set crew. There was one firehouse in particular they were tangled in with and iirc they lost 5 guys on 9/11. The entire production felt that screwing up or ignoring what happened would be a slap in the face to the memories of the fallen.
Some of the lights they used to illuminate Ground Zero those first few nights when they were trying to rescue people from the rubble were the TV production lights from Third Watch. The show had worked closely with NYPD and FDNY, and they were just starting production on the season when the attacks happened.
I haven't seen this in almost 20 years, and it still makes me cry. The entire week leading up to 9/11 was really hard for my family and I. My Grandfather was in the hospital, dying of lung cancer. On Sept 9th, 2001 we said goodbye. That was 3 days after my Moms birthday, the day of his Sisters birthday (My great-aunt) and just 2 days before 9/11. I had to go back to work the night of the 10th. I worked graveyard at an airport. Broke, no car, I would take the bus or a cab if I could afford it. I got into a cab and the driver, a New Yorker asked if I heard about a plane hitting the world trade. I thought it was a small plane. Something like a Cessna. I was then informed it was a Airliner. I made it home, walked in the door and the 2nd plane had hit. I stood there in utter disbelief. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Shows like this reminded me of what my Grandpa and so many of our friends were really like. He was a career FF. 26 years on the job. I have no doubts in my mind, that had he been healthy, and in NY he would have beat feet down to the closest station house and asked what he could do to help. First Responders are built different. Others before self. Sleep deprived, hungry, scared, sad - doesn't matter. They'll push through it all.
I never understood how this was possible. Didn't the producers sign a contract before they put the music in the show? I think there is more to it than music rights.
Wait, what? That's really why? I've always wondered how this show never got any kind of blu ray release or anything. So, it's all over copyright properties? That's so disappointing.
Not only did they run to help as many people as possible, they ran in again when the first building collapsed. The most heroic and bravest thing I've ever seen. People called non-stop at the fire departments asking to go to the place and help, these people are amazing..
Not just there-I live in western Maryland, and our own firehouse was literally two weeks away from being deployed to go up there and help with rescues after 9/11 when they switched into recovery mode and cancelled our assignment. Any time something happens with a firehouse, you'll see departments from all over wanting to help out. The fire service is basically not unlike a huge, extended family, and it's a case of "Pinch me, you pinch us all" when tragedy strikes.
I absolutely cried and got chills while watching this. Very well done. When Fred was asking Faith why was she going, I thought to myself (as a nurse) “We go when and where we’re needed, period.” Many fine first responders lost their lives that day, and this was in honor of them !
infermiera , come soccorritore italiano allora potei solo pregare per i ragazzi , nel 2020 gli ho eguagliati , in reparto covid . ALLA RIGA( detto italiano intraducibile , sta per buon servizio )
As sad as this day was, I am glad that a show like this showed them all going. Even the people who were not on shift. They all found a way to get there to do whatever they could. I have so much respect for all of the people that were there and for anyone who does this job. Thank you all.
When her husband says "....they may not even need you..." Hey I understand That spouses & families have earned the right to question the why's....but when ".. they may not even need you ...." comes up, yeah they do....even if they didn't call you...it is what it is. And yes the price paid is always high. No matter the outcome.
Dude not that it's on the same level but when I worked at the jail we had just clocked out and were getting changed in the locker room.when a massive fight broke out. A back up call when out to the whole jail and everyone including our shift who were in normal.civilian clothes and not clocked ran in with everyone else. It's just a sense of duty you feel, especially when lives are at stake.
I was 14 when 9/11 happened. Anyone over ten years old that day I feel remembers where they were/what they felt/etc. I remember being in my preteens when Third Watch aired, and I grew up with EMS parents and all of our friends were EMS, I knew I wanted to be a firefighter paramedic when I grew up at six years old. This show was such a core memory for me, still binge watch it to this day at least once or twice a year. I did become a medic and worked steadily on a ambulance for 10+ years. Thank you heroes in real life and thank you forever to this shows amazing cast and crew for portraying EMS in not only this moment in history but in so many other moments that happen within EMS so absolutely flawless.
I was 17 and walking back from suffering a nosebleed and saw the tv in the teachers lounge thinking they were watching a movie when the announcement came over the PA
This episode was probably the realist portrayal of 9/11 shown in any emergency show. The true credit goes to the incredibly brave, selfless men and women who both worked that day and the days, months and years after, but Third Watch did manage to achieve some semblance of what that day was like. I still remember being pulled into a school assembly to have what was happening "explained" and then waiting for my mom to come pick me up. I remember dropping my daddy off as close as possible to NYC (we lived in CT) and not seeing him for days as he was busy working (he is an Orthopedic Surgeon) and then seeing him break down with my mom once he finally came home simply to shower and change before going back. It still haunts him to this day and he wasn't even on the front line. It still haunts me to this day and I was only seven at the time. I'm now a paramedic and I can't even imagine what I would do in a situation like this, so I thank God for all of the brave men and women, and pray that all of those innocent victims rest in peace.
The reason third watch handled it so well was because unlike the other shows that addressed it, third watch worked directly with the NYPD and FDNY to know how to accurately portray those brave men and women as well as their struggles, both on and off the job. Season three of third watch, which took place during and after 9/11 is by far my favorite season of the six because of how well they handled it; they sure didn't hold back!
Blue Bloods did a great realistic simulation of what it's like. They didn't touch 9/11 except at the end when the whole thing was over, but the scenes in the episode are so powerful to watch. Especially the end.
Another reason is because they used real FDNY firefighters, some of whom died during the attacks. They took great pains to accurately portray what happened as a way to honour them. There's a reason some characters do not appear after the 9/11 episode. And the names Jimmy engraves in the plaque he makes are real firefighters p/ characters who died.
Just finished in Tobi the 6 seasons, is the best tv show on cops,paramedics, firemen. The episode of the day before and after 9/11 was the tops, and the episode to honor all that were present at the towers was emotional. Using as extras and actors real cops,firemen, there was no digital version, real stunts ,filmed in NYC. Thanks to all involved in this fantastic show.
The realest scene on TV. Because those people just dropped everything and ran. They didn't think about their own situations, they just ran to help. Something that cops, paramedics, and firefighters do every day. #343
I'm Japanese, so I don't know if I'm expressing myself correctly. We are never forget 9/11. I pray that all the people who died that day can rest in peace.
Watching this scene shaking with the memories of that fateful day, tears running down my cheeks. Third Watch captured it brilliantly, we knew what lied ahead for the brave Women and Men as they rode towards the WTC. In California on that morning I was working at an answering service, the company had clients in New York, I answered one of them, and the gentleman on the other end asked if I had heard the news, said a plane flew into a building,took his message for client and disconnected. Thought to myself, maybe a Cessna out of range or something like that, man on telephone did not elaborate, don't think he knew the whole tragedy at that point. By the time I was off (6am PST) while riding on the bus with big shades on, I listened with headphones my walkman,every single station was broadcasting ,no music anywhere, as I listened, tears came out from under my shades, remember looking at a person across from me, thinking they don't have any idea of what was happening on American soil at that moment. Did not sleep well that day before going to work (graveyard shift) That night walking to bus stop, eerie looking up into the absolute silence of the empty sky. Never Forget. ..Sept.11th.
No emergency responder show today can hold a candle to Third Watch. 9-1-1, Chicago Fire. They’re all lame and overproduced. Third Watch portrayed first responders in a true and real light
Chicago Fire is very good in it's own way. Third Watch is excellent in its own way too,its not fair too compare I think. Though I do like Third Watch better,I don't hate Chicago Fire. Third Watch resonates more I think because they had this giant tragedy happen that directly affected the show in ways that no one could have predicted. I seriously hope Chicago never has to deal with that type of event.
They got close with language and adult content but that show was largely about who was sleeping with who and listening to Denis Leary tell people to kiss his white Irish ass fifteen times an episode, which got tiring. Third Watch had more depth in the writing than Rescue Me. It had better character development and more interesting stories too. I'm actually rewatching Third Watch with my gf and she loves it. All six seasons are available on Tubi right now FYI
I remember after my husband and I got off work that morning (security roadblocks at an old Army base that was being converted to civilian use), we went straight to the firehouse (Maryland's governor had ordered all emergency services personnel to report to their stations). All of us were sitting three and four deep on the couches in the ready room watching the news broadcasts, and the only time anybody moved was to hit the remote. Even now, fifteen years later, I still feel the shock and numbness that I did that day watching the horror of what had happened and not knowing if my family was all right (parents just outside DC, sister in Pittsburgh, cousin in NYC).
Scorpio 1989 wow I was really about to write "goosebumps every time" and then I saw your comment so your answer is definitely yes goosebumps.. every time I still remember that day and responding
The best show on police, fireman, emergency. The episode to honor the fireman, cops,and emergency that survived and died in 9/11 is superb. The episode of 9/10,9/12, is the most realistic. No other show is as realistic as the Third Shift. Now in Tubi. It angers that the real responsible the Saudis got away with the murder of thousands on 9/ 11, and other terrorists acts. Thank you for the magnificent show. Pity was canceled.
There are some parts missed: Bosco is at a girl's apartment (far from the WTC site), a loud rumble is heard, Bosco asks if planes always fly low around there. Faith and Fred are in the Subway, the Subway suddenly stops, and all the lights are turned off.
He asks what it was, in that area it's illegal to fly planes or any large aircraft. It's considered a severe risk and a no-fly zone, even before 9/11. Especially since he was a cop he had a feeling something was severely wrong. Bosco was very perceptive in the show and picked up on a lot of things other people would miss.
That was just before this clip started. With the way there's fits and starts in the 2min mark, the OP might not have been able to salvage Boz's scene or the subway from whatever weather or broadcast thing going on.
I remember this day like it was yesterday. 10 years old watching the 2nd plane hit into the towers and watching a fellow teacher in her classroom colapsed screaming and crying. None of us knowing what to do.
What has and always will get me about this video is that it was shift change. They had handed over but when they saw what had happened two shifts jumping onto the trucks and just holding onto anything they could to get there. What utter selfless bravery
Complete full body goosebumps every time…. I can still hear Central advising on all the multiple calls with that Erie fear you could hear in their voice that you don't usually hear when Central is giving out jobs, All as we were all suiting up running just like this scene…. Mmm mmm mmm… there was a look that you cannot describe on all of the responding units eyes as we looked at each other heading down there. This show was amazing on so many levels, that ending scene they actually managed to capture some of those looks 😞💭💭💭🚨🚒🚓🚑🚨 #GodBlessUs
I read somewhere that when first discussing how they were going to handle the events and aftermath of 9/11, someone involved with “Third Watch“ suggested they re-create the event and have the characters respond to it. Thank God that was squashed immediately, because there’s no way they could’ve re-created that; also, what they ended up doing was any and everything that needed to be done.
I love how this show portrayed real tragedies the fire service had gone through. There was another episode plot that was very similar to what firefighters went through when the Worcester Six were killed in the cold storage building fire in 1999. The only discrepancy in this episode was the FDNY was dispatched to the 5th alarm Box 8087, not 8097 as depicted on this show.
Nearly 20 years later and I still get chills. I remember exactly where I was when I first found out... I was driving trucks at the time and on my way to Richmond VA. I got loaded up the night before in New Hampshire and stopped for the night at the Vince Lombardi Travel Plaza near Hackensack NJ. I woke up just as the news was breaking about the first tower being hit. I had a TV in my sleeper and a coffee maker. I got up, turned on my TV, saw the screen and thought THAT looks like a great movie. Those special effects look so REAL. I remember making my coffee, and then as I was waking, realizing quickly it was real. That point was driven home to me when the second plane hit. It was at that point that I opened up the curtain between the sleeper and the cap and out the windshield, I could see smoke.
I really didn't like Fred... But that moment when Faith leaps into the police car shouting orders of him while he's trying to get her to stop... And after he sees her drive away, not even with a bulletproof vest or uniform... Just the look on his face says a million words. Btw: The woman who played Faith her husband/fiancee at the time I think... Was a police officer who helped that day... He survived, but it must've been very hard for her to do this scene.
Sara Nightfire Faith's husband in real life is same guy that plays DK on the show. He is not a cop but he is a firefighter who was working that day. Check out In Their Own Words the special after 9/11 they did.
Sev22suff Must've been harder, especially when the towers collapsed. At least as a cop's fiancee you hope there's a chance... A firefighter who runs in to rescue people like in the towers... It's more brutal. Especially when they run back after the first collapsed. I can't even picture how hard it was for her to do that scene.
Apparrently the Husband of Molly-Price who-plays and portrays the Role/Playing-Role/Of-Faith-Yokas was Real-Life/FDNY-FireFighter/Derek-Kelly/DK-Kitson here-on/Third-Watch.
If you didn’t know, this show featured actual firefighters in the background of the scenes in firefighters who consulted on the show in 15 out of the 27 firefighters who were constantly on the show died and 911 and I loved the documentary episode they did for the season premiere, which premiere only a week or two weeks after 9:11 one of the main characters husband is an is a New York firefighter who is there and her interview was he survives, but her interview was sad.
i was a third year nurse student in London, during 7/7. i reckon what lot of people forget, and what many first-responders remember is both 9/11 and 7/7 attacks happened during the morning rush hour. usually the same time USA and UK emergency services have their shift change. this is the only show to show that A LOT of the nightshift stayed on, during the chaos of those mornings. i know it happened on 9/11 and i witnessed it first hand on 7/7. in the end we had to shoo them home, to get some sleep to come back that night. no UK first responders died on 7/7. i will stand with FDNY and EMS across the USA forever.
This was amazing! Just seeing how everybody reacted. Just saddle up and let's go. Reminded me of that Sept 11 video view from one of the trucks and you saw a fleet of Fire trucks with it and more trucks joining in as they raced downtown.
I was 18, working my morning shift at McDonalds in my town, when my manager came up from her break and told us what happened. I didn't even know what that meant. I didn't watch tv at home then, either. I got to campus the next day and all the cafe tvs had the replays on and I started crying.
My husband and I were working security roadblocks at a decommissioned army base that was being converted to civilian use on 9/11. It became chaos after we started hearing the news reports because the military personnel still living there got reactivated and work at the dig site (recovering and detonating buried ordnance) came to a halt as everybody listened to the radio and realized what was going on. Needless to say, our workday was abruptly cut short. We headed back to the security office to give our boss a SITREP, and on the way there the Maryland governor ordered all emergency services personnel to report to their stations. Since we were both volunteer firefighters at the time, that meant us too. Our boss tried to order us to another security site (power plant on the river), and when we told him the governor’s orders he immediately said “Well, what are you still standing there for? Get the hell outta here!” At the firehouse, everybody was just piled three deep in the ready room watching the news, and the only time anybody moved for hours was to hit the clicker for the TV. It was eerie! Three days later, my husband and I were at Sheetz getting provisions for a midnight shift at the power plant. He was inside getting coffee and I was out at the car listening to the radio when Don Henley’s song “New York Minute” came on with audio snippets of news broadcasts from that day mixed in. That did it-I was in the parking lot, in uniform, and I was freaking BAWLING-to hell with professional dignity! It’s been 23 years since 9/11, and I still can’t hear that song without it taking me back to that day. May we NEVER forget!
I always loved how they managed to intertwine the characters' work and lives. The only mistake I can think of is the way they killed Alex...it seemed like an afterthought. (And it happened to the actress later again, damn!)
Wow…. When that "knot in your gut" Music drops @1:01 , @1:43 - @2:17 and towards the end of this clip… mmm mmm mmm…🚨🙏🚨 The Goosebumps I get EVERYTIME watching this clip as a First Responder…. I think they portrayed "that look" so perfectly because I truly understand that look, As do all First Responders do. When those bells, and multiple alarm tones start flying in practically all at the same time as you and your partner exchange "that look" for those split seconds before you put the pedal to the metal and respond to the direction that everyone is running away from, and as you're already starting to scramble, those multiple calls start pouring in, and you hear the job type changing multiple times before you get there all Indicating that something major is happening and numerous people are hurt and panicking and really need you RIGHT NOW…. It's a feeling you can't fully described other than actually experiencing it as a first responder and I think that this clip and this show in general picked it up perfectly. God bless this phenomenal show that should have never ended and God bless all my brothers and sisters that didn't make it out that day… 🙏🚨🚒🚓🚑🚨🙏
Kims reaction at 1:00 bothered me. She turns on the tv and gets visibly upset right away, but its just a tv anchor with no headline or words on the screen.
Merc S what I meant was that when her mom tells her to turn on the TV she gives no description of what was going on. And when can turn on the t_v there is no headline or images on the screen, just a news anchor sitting at a desk. she gets visibly upset before she could have possibly read or seen anything on the news
xlxcrossxlx that does bother me also and u couldn't even hear what he was saying like I understand why they didn't show actual footage but you could give the man a voice
News reporters are practically trained at the start to remain neutral, having an upset journalist along with a very frantic mother is enough for a clue that something bad is happening in New York. Not including the tone of voice. I like they do this in complete silence, just showing the reactions to what is going on. People actually bashed BBC for their lack of reaction to 9/11 since the journalists there had no real idea the impact of what was going on while the U.S. was flipping out.
The firefighters were in shift transfer; it happened with all fire departments that were, they had no idea how bad it was, but it was enough for all hands on deck to forget everything and go FUBAR to help. Ty and Sully did go back; he got married a few weeks later when the dust settled.
New York Undercover & Third Watch historical collection for film & acting 🎭 Found on Tubi & the rating honestly should be 9 out of 10 because the script writing was everything! In certain parts its kind of a slower start and towards 4th season the videography quality is gritty some but them actors together WOW 💯 DID they win awards, if not should have! They don’t make them like these anymore!! 👏👏
Yeah-True/Very-True what You're saying-there Amy, it's-true even-though the only-FireFighters and Police-Officers who-were running away from-the Site were the Ones who-were still-outside the Bulidings away-from the two Building towers incase of-backup for-the Ones-Inside.!!!
Third Watch was filmed in NYC and had background shots of the WTC from dozens of angles. When they did this episode, they picked locations where they had footage of the Towers in one piece and digitally edited the original footage to the actors' new performances so it appeared to be, as the title of the episode said "September 10th."
I remember watching this episode and it was boring as hell, nothing happened, a 48h shift with almost no action. Than, at the end, I was shocked. It went from chillness to mayhem in one call. I went to sleep speechless afterwards.
That's pretty much what being in fire/rescue is like. Not as bad as 9/11, thank the gods, but most of the time our lives at the station can be summed up as "99% boredom, 1% all hell breaking loose!"
That’s how 9/11 unfolded. I was 13 years old in 8th grade. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was on a Tuesday morning. It was a typical day. Very beautiful. Most of the country had fair, beautiful weather. It was about time for the weather to begin its transition to Fall from Summer. It was boring. But I also had intuition telling me something was wrong between 8:30am and 9:00am on my first class which was PE. Shrugged it off and went about the rest of gym class. The events began to unfold as the day progressed.
There’s actually a documentary about juvenile firefighters that was filmed starting a month before 9/11. The filmmakers said a few days before the attack they were getting a lot of footage of the interior of the firehouse because very little was happening and wasn’t enough to record. The captain told them that it’s always so calm and quiet before something big happens. Two days before the attack a fire took one of the lives of the firefighters and they thought that was it. They were stunned a few days later.
I hate Fred also... But seeing the look on his face at the moment seeing Faith drive off... It just speaks a million words. He was an asshole, but he was worried sick about her that moment.
I live new York when this happened it was like chaos the first time my life i seen fighter jets fly over every business shut down the streets were empty I took the bus home it was jam pack people getting off the subways security at all federal buildings were double i never in my life seen so many cop cars fly by there was a fire station a few blocks from my job they were empty i will never forget that day the funny and crazy part was a little over a year ago I applied for a job at in the world center.
dude the show was canceled like 6 years ago that episode must be from 2001 or 2002 so its pretty old be happy there even are Videos from that show back then youtube wasnt even online...
quest'anno si sono diplomati vigili del fuoco i figli di quegli eroi deceduti . HO DOVUTO CAMBIARE CANALE PER NON ROMPERE LA TV , DAL DISPIACERE CHE HO ANCORA DENTRO
I’m watching it now finally my favorite show came on although these episodes are so touchy , the character Carlos : the EMT id like to slap him upside his head , such a sensitive subject and tearing episodes his attitude stinks it always did from day one , now I know he’s just acting , but cmon who wrote where he should be a jerk even through this ???? Horrible
Actually, many jurisdictions have banned the practice of riding on the backs of fire engines because of the risk of falling off and getting killed in the fall or by other traffic has increased dramatically as speed limits have gone up. The next county over from us banned it in 1987 or thereabouts because of a firefighter getting killed after the engine went around a corner and she fell off due to the centrifugal force causing her to lose her grip. Others followed suit before or at the same time, if not sooner. I myself have only done so once, and that was on a mountain fire call in the next county where the mini-pumper was only going about 5 miles an hour up this crazy gravel fire road, and believe me when I tell you it's not as fun as it looks! Even with a safety harness, I was worried about losing my grip or getting bounced off when we hit a rock or a rut in the road due to the angle of the road going up. Going back down was WAY more fun because all we had to worry about was smacking into the back of the hose bed and the guys I was riding with were treating it like they were riding a mechanical bull or something. That was over 15 years ago, and I haven't done it since. It's just as well-now that we've got a ton of equipment on the back, there's nowhere for us to grab anyway.
By far, the most realistic portrayal of the first responders to 9/11. 'Third Watch' was one of the only shows that truly showed how first responders reacted.
3rd Watch used real NYPD and FDNY staff as extras to the cast and as set crew. There was one firehouse in particular they were tangled in with and iirc they lost 5 guys on 9/11. The entire production felt that screwing up or ignoring what happened would be a slap in the face to the memories of the fallen.
The show following the end season of third watch witch was rescue me I felt also portrayed the PTSD aftermath of 9/11.
@@connorryan9602 that is true sir. Talked to a extra on the show that.
Not even rescue me portrayed this scene so well besides Gavin having flashbacks. I remember when this episode first aired
Some of the lights they used to illuminate Ground Zero those first few nights when they were trying to rescue people from the rubble were the TV production lights from Third Watch. The show had worked closely with NYPD and FDNY, and they were just starting production on the season when the attacks happened.
18 years later, I still cry at this.
I haven't seen this in almost 20 years, and it still makes me cry.
The entire week leading up to 9/11 was really hard for my family and I. My Grandfather was in the hospital, dying of lung cancer. On Sept 9th, 2001 we said goodbye. That was 3 days after my Moms birthday, the day of his Sisters birthday (My great-aunt) and just 2 days before 9/11.
I had to go back to work the night of the 10th. I worked graveyard at an airport. Broke, no car, I would take the bus or a cab if I could afford it. I got into a cab and the driver, a New Yorker asked if I heard about a plane hitting the world trade. I thought it was a small plane. Something like a Cessna. I was then informed it was a Airliner.
I made it home, walked in the door and the 2nd plane had hit. I stood there in utter disbelief. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Shows like this reminded me of what my Grandpa and so many of our friends were really like. He was a career FF. 26 years on the job. I have no doubts in my mind, that had he been healthy, and in NY he would have beat feet down to the closest station house and asked what he could do to help. First Responders are built different. Others before self. Sleep deprived, hungry, scared, sad - doesn't matter. They'll push through it all.
It sucks that legalities over music has kept the entire series from DVD, blu ray and streaming services
There hasn't been a show as good as this one
I'm still hoping they do release the rest on DVD or bluray some day
It’s seems as if it’s the only show that was on at the time that actually acknowledged what happened.
I never understood how this was possible. Didn't the producers sign a contract before they put the music in the show? I think there is more to it than music rights.
Wait, what? That's really why? I've always wondered how this show never got any kind of blu ray release or anything. So, it's all over copyright properties? That's so disappointing.
wow I never heard that. Would love to see the show again
Not only did they run to help as many people as possible, they ran in again when the first building collapsed. The most heroic and bravest thing I've ever seen. People called non-stop at the fire departments asking to go to the place and help, these people are amazing..
Not just there-I live in western Maryland, and our own firehouse was literally two weeks away from being deployed to go up there and help with rescues after 9/11 when they switched into recovery mode and cancelled our assignment. Any time something happens with a firehouse, you'll see departments from all over wanting to help out. The fire service is basically not unlike a huge, extended family, and it's a case of "Pinch me, you pinch us all" when tragedy strikes.
We were so unified as a county after this happened. It’s sad to see how divided we’ve become.
Never forget September 11th. Always remember September 12th.
I don’t think we’ll be that united again. Not for a very long time, anyway.
Sadly, that’s what makes us an easy target for more foreign attacks.
It’s only gotten worse.
One of the best episodes of television ever done. 20 years later all the emotions and memories of that day become crystal clear again.
ancora oggi mi ritrovo a dire : ANDATE PIANO ... TORNATE INTERI
I absolutely cried and got chills while watching this. Very well done. When Fred was asking Faith why was she going, I thought to myself (as a nurse) “We go when and where we’re needed, period.” Many fine first responders lost their lives that day, and this was in honor of them !
infermiera , come soccorritore italiano allora potei solo pregare per i ragazzi , nel 2020 gli ho eguagliati , in reparto covid . ALLA RIGA( detto italiano intraducibile , sta per buon servizio )
As sad as this day was, I am glad that a show like this showed them all going. Even the people who were not on shift. They all found a way to get there to do whatever they could. I have so much respect for all of the people that were there and for anyone who does this job. Thank you all.
When her husband says "....they may not even need you..." Hey I understand That spouses & families have earned the right to question the why's....but when ".. they may not even need you ...." comes up, yeah they do....even if they didn't call you...it is what it is. And yes the price paid is always high. No matter the outcome.
Dude not that it's on the same level but when I worked at the jail we had just clocked out and were getting changed in the locker room.when a massive fight broke out. A back up call when out to the whole jail and everyone including our shift who were in normal.civilian clothes and not clocked ran in with everyone else. It's just a sense of duty you feel, especially when lives are at stake.
I was 14 when 9/11 happened. Anyone over ten years old that day I feel remembers where they were/what they felt/etc.
I remember being in my preteens when Third Watch aired, and I grew up with EMS parents and all of our friends were EMS, I knew I wanted to be a firefighter paramedic when I grew up at six years old.
This show was such a core memory for me, still binge watch it to this day at least once or twice a year. I did become a medic and worked steadily on a ambulance for 10+ years.
Thank you heroes in real life and thank you forever to this shows amazing cast and crew for portraying EMS in not only this moment in history but in so many other moments that happen within EMS so absolutely flawless.
I was 17 and walking back from suffering a nosebleed and saw the tv in the teachers lounge thinking they were watching a movie when the announcement came over the PA
This episode was probably the realist portrayal of 9/11 shown in any emergency show. The true credit goes to the incredibly brave, selfless men and women who both worked that day and the days, months and years after, but Third Watch did manage to achieve some semblance of what that day was like.
I still remember being pulled into a school assembly to have what was happening "explained" and then waiting for my mom to come pick me up.
I remember dropping my daddy off as close as possible to NYC (we lived in CT) and not seeing him for days as he was busy working (he is an Orthopedic Surgeon) and then seeing him break down with my mom once he finally came home simply to shower and change before going back.
It still haunts him to this day and he wasn't even on the front line.
It still haunts me to this day and I was only seven at the time. I'm now a paramedic and I can't even imagine what I would do in a situation like this, so I thank God for all of the brave men and women, and pray that all of those innocent victims rest in peace.
The reason third watch handled it so well was because unlike the other shows that addressed it, third watch worked directly with the NYPD and FDNY to know how to accurately portray those brave men and women as well as their struggles, both on and off the job. Season three of third watch, which took place during and after 9/11 is by far my favorite season of the six because of how well they handled it; they sure didn't hold back!
Blue Bloods did a great realistic simulation of what it's like. They didn't touch 9/11 except at the end when the whole thing was over, but the scenes in the episode are so powerful to watch. Especially the end.
Another reason is because they used real FDNY firefighters, some of whom died during the attacks. They took great pains to accurately portray what happened as a way to honour them. There's a reason some characters do not appear after the 9/11 episode. And the names Jimmy engraves in the plaque he makes are real firefighters p/ characters who died.
Hadley Anderson the reason why it was so realistic is bc it shows them dropping everything and responding just like it was that day RIP
+Jon Stevenson dk and Walsh are real fdny
I love how they never showed it, just everyone's reactions to it.
- Exactly; we didn't need to see what was actually happening. We lived it.
If you look in the last scene, you can see the towers burning
@@soccerfan12342 that’s how looked too.
I don’t think they wanted to show the actual event in the show; I think there was something mentioned to that point in the special they did later on.
Just finished in Tobi the 6 seasons, is the best tv show on cops,paramedics, firemen.
The episode of the day before and after 9/11 was the tops, and the episode to honor all that were present at the towers was emotional.
Using as extras and actors real cops,firemen, there was no digital version, real stunts ,filmed in NYC.
Thanks to all involved in this fantastic show.
The realest scene on TV. Because those people just dropped everything and ran. They didn't think about their own situations, they just ran to help. Something that cops, paramedics, and firefighters do every day. #343
On January 2nd 2022, I'm watching this scene and I got chills. Great scene for a tragic day. Those characters did 9/11 with pride and dignity.
I still tear up watching this 12 years after it happened.
Right there with you 20 years after it happened.
me, too, and now it's 20 years after, never get over it and it was an inside job
It doesn't matter Fred if they needed her or not, she knew where she needed to be
I'm Japanese, so I don't know if I'm expressing myself correctly.
We are never forget 9/11.
I pray that all the people who died that day can rest in peace.
Y que dices de Hiroshima?
You expressed yourself beautifully.
Watching this scene shaking with the memories of that fateful day, tears running down my cheeks.
Third Watch captured it brilliantly, we knew what lied ahead for the brave Women and Men as they rode towards the WTC.
In California on that morning I was working at an answering service, the company had clients in New York, I answered one of them, and the gentleman on the other end asked if I had heard the news, said a plane flew into a building,took his message for client and disconnected.
Thought to myself, maybe a Cessna out of range or something like that, man on telephone did not elaborate, don't think he knew the whole tragedy at that point.
By the time I was off (6am PST) while riding on the bus with big shades on, I listened with headphones my walkman,every single station was broadcasting ,no music anywhere, as I listened, tears came out from under my shades, remember looking at a person across from me, thinking they don't have any idea of what was happening on American soil at that moment.
Did not sleep well that day before going to work (graveyard shift)
That night walking to bus stop, eerie looking up into the absolute silence of the empty sky.
Never Forget. ..Sept.11th.
No emergency responder show today can hold a candle to Third Watch. 9-1-1, Chicago Fire. They’re all lame and overproduced. Third Watch portrayed first responders in a true and real light
Chicago Fire is very good in it's own way. Third Watch is excellent in its own way too,its not fair too compare I think. Though I do like Third Watch better,I don't hate Chicago Fire. Third Watch resonates more I think because they had this giant tragedy happen that directly affected the show in ways that no one could have predicted. I seriously hope Chicago never has to deal with that type of event.
Agreed. I watch 911 it comes close but nothing like third watch.
What about Rescue Me?
They got close with language and adult content but that show was largely about who was sleeping with who and listening to Denis Leary tell people to kiss his white Irish ass fifteen times an episode, which got tiring. Third Watch had more depth in the writing than Rescue Me. It had better character development and more interesting stories too. I'm actually rewatching Third Watch with my gf and she loves it. All six seasons are available on Tubi right now FYI
We will never forget, thank you for your service....
anybody get goosebumps watching this? I do!!!!
I remember after my husband and I got off work that morning (security roadblocks at an old Army base that was being converted to civilian use), we went straight to the firehouse (Maryland's governor had ordered all emergency services personnel to report to their stations). All of us were sitting three and four deep on the couches in the ready room watching the news broadcasts, and the only time anybody moved was to hit the remote. Even now, fifteen years later, I still feel the shock and numbness that I did that day watching the horror of what had happened and not knowing if my family was all right (parents just outside DC, sister in Pittsburgh, cousin in NYC).
Scorpio 1989 wow I was really about to write "goosebumps every time" and then I saw your comment so your answer is definitely yes goosebumps.. every time I still remember that day and responding
Yes I do
Every. Single. Time.
For sure.. Everyone the shitty quality kicks out
The best show on police, fireman, emergency.
The episode to honor the fireman, cops,and emergency that survived and died in 9/11 is superb.
The episode of 9/10,9/12, is the most realistic.
No other show is as realistic as the Third Shift.
Now in Tubi.
It angers that the real responsible the Saudis got away with the murder of thousands on 9/ 11, and other terrorists acts.
Thank you for the magnificent show.
Pity was canceled.
There are some parts missed:
Bosco is at a girl's apartment (far from the WTC site), a loud rumble is heard, Bosco asks if planes always fly low around there.
Faith and Fred are in the Subway, the Subway suddenly stops, and all the lights are turned off.
He asks what it was, in that area it's illegal to fly planes or any large aircraft. It's considered a severe risk and a no-fly zone, even before 9/11. Especially since he was a cop he had a feeling something was severely wrong. Bosco was very perceptive in the show and picked up on a lot of things other people would miss.
I believe it was either not included or became a deleted scene
@@fdnybeast310 No, the scenes were in the original broadcast.
That was just before this clip started. With the way there's fits and starts in the 2min mark, the OP might not have been able to salvage Boz's scene or the subway from whatever weather or broadcast thing going on.
man i miss this incredible show!! i only have season 1 and 2 on dvd. i need them all.
I remember this day like it was yesterday. 10 years old watching the 2nd plane hit into the towers and watching a fellow teacher in her classroom colapsed screaming and crying. None of us knowing what to do.
What has and always will get me about this video is that it was shift change. They had handed over but when they saw what had happened two shifts jumping onto the trucks and just holding onto anything they could to get there. What utter selfless bravery
I come every time to watch this. Just recently I watched it again. 😭
All these years later and i still cry and remember the day so vividly
Complete full body goosebumps every time…. I can still hear Central advising on all the multiple calls with that Erie fear you could hear in their voice that you don't usually hear when Central is giving out jobs, All as we were all suiting up running just like this scene…. Mmm mmm mmm… there was a look that you cannot describe on all of the responding units eyes as we looked at each other heading down there. This show was amazing on so many levels, that ending scene they actually managed to capture some of those looks 😞💭💭💭🚨🚒🚓🚑🚨 #GodBlessUs
Thank you for your willingness to run in while we’re running out, and doing everything possible and more to rescue those who can’t.
@@DorvellTStewart So Others May Live 🙏🚨🌍🚨🙏
Cant believe it's been 22 years already 😢
I read somewhere that when first discussing how they were going to handle the events and aftermath of 9/11, someone involved with “Third Watch“ suggested they re-create the event and have the characters respond to it. Thank God that was squashed immediately, because there’s no way they could’ve re-created that; also, what they ended up doing was any and everything that needed to be done.
I love how this show portrayed real tragedies the fire service had gone through.
There was another episode plot that was very similar to what firefighters went through when the Worcester Six were killed in the cold storage building fire in 1999.
The only discrepancy in this episode was the FDNY was dispatched to the 5th alarm Box 8087, not 8097 as depicted on this show.
SparkDalmatian well most likely to show respect and not make actual victims visit that day they changed it
Are you referring to “Honor,“ the 18th episode of Season Two that starts off with a football game between the 55 and another fire station?
I watched the series again about a year ago.
I was sobbing when I watched that episode because I knew what was coming. It hits so much harder now.
The reaction of Kim who got a call from her Mother was almost like how i got the news in europe and before I turned on the tv tower 2 crashed
One of my all time favorite shows.
This was the most tasteful and realistic portrayals of 9/11 by far.
Nearly 20 years later and I still get chills. I remember exactly where I was when I first found out... I was driving trucks at the time and on my way to Richmond VA. I got loaded up the night before in New Hampshire and stopped for the night at the Vince Lombardi Travel Plaza near Hackensack NJ. I woke up just as the news was breaking about the first tower being hit. I had a TV in my sleeper and a coffee maker. I got up, turned on my TV, saw the screen and thought THAT looks like a great movie. Those special effects look so REAL. I remember making my coffee, and then as I was waking, realizing quickly it was real. That point was driven home to me when the second plane hit. It was at that point that I opened up the curtain between the sleeper and the cap and out the windshield, I could see smoke.
Heartbreaking to know most of those first responders never came back.
I really didn't like Fred...
But that moment when Faith leaps into the police car shouting orders of him while he's trying to get her to stop...
And after he sees her drive away, not even with a bulletproof vest or uniform...
Just the look on his face says a million words.
Btw: The woman who played Faith her husband/fiancee at the time I think... Was a police officer who helped that day... He survived, but it must've been very hard for her to do this scene.
Sara Nightfire Faith's husband in real life is same guy that plays DK on the show. He is not a cop but he is a firefighter who was working that day. Check out In Their Own Words the special after 9/11 they did.
Sev22suff
Must've been harder, especially when the towers collapsed. At least as a cop's fiancee you hope there's a chance... A firefighter who runs in to rescue people like in the towers... It's more brutal. Especially when they run back after the first collapsed.
I can't even picture how hard it was for her to do that scene.
Apparrently the Husband of Molly-Price who-plays and portrays the Role/Playing-Role/Of-Faith-Yokas was Real-Life/FDNY-FireFighter/Derek-Kelly/DK-Kitson here-on/Third-Watch.
She is actually married to dk fdny since 01
If you didn’t know, this show featured actual firefighters in the background of the scenes in firefighters who consulted on the show in 15 out of the 27 firefighters who were constantly on the show died and 911 and I loved the documentary episode they did for the season premiere, which premiere only a week or two weeks after 9:11 one of the main characters husband is an is a New York firefighter who is there and her interview was he survives, but her interview was sad.
I like how this is put together as if we the audience is supposed to have no clue what is happening and yet we knew all too well.
i was a third year nurse student in London, during 7/7.
i reckon what lot of people forget, and what many first-responders remember is both 9/11 and 7/7 attacks happened during the morning rush hour. usually the same time USA and UK emergency services have their shift change.
this is the only show to show that A LOT of the nightshift stayed on, during the chaos of those mornings.
i know it happened on 9/11 and i witnessed it first hand on 7/7. in the end we had to shoo them home, to get some sleep to come back that night.
no UK first responders died on 7/7.
i will stand with FDNY and EMS across the USA forever.
I have all the series on dvd, fantastic show, been hooked ever since I saw it been shown on channel 4
This scene is actually chilling!!
Never Forget
This was amazing! Just seeing how everybody reacted. Just saddle up and let's go. Reminded me of that Sept 11 video view from one of the trucks and you saw a fleet of Fire trucks with it and more trucks joining in as they raced downtown.
Release the last three seasons to DVD PLEASE!!!!❤️❤️❤️BEST SHOW EVER!!
I was 18, working my morning shift at McDonalds in my town, when my manager came up from her break and told us what happened. I didn't even know what that meant. I didn't watch tv at home then, either. I got to campus the next day and all the cafe tvs had the replays on and I started crying.
My husband and I were working security roadblocks at a decommissioned army base that was being converted to civilian use on 9/11. It became chaos after we started hearing the news reports because the military personnel still living there got reactivated and work at the dig site (recovering and detonating buried ordnance) came to a halt as everybody listened to the radio and realized what was going on.
Needless to say, our workday was abruptly cut short. We headed back to the security office to give our boss a SITREP, and on the way there the Maryland governor ordered all emergency services personnel to report to their stations. Since we were both volunteer firefighters at the time, that meant us too. Our boss tried to order us to another security site (power plant on the river), and when we told him the governor’s orders he immediately said “Well, what are you still standing there for? Get the hell outta here!”
At the firehouse, everybody was just piled three deep in the ready room watching the news, and the only time anybody moved for hours was to hit the clicker for the TV. It was eerie!
Three days later, my husband and I were at Sheetz getting provisions for a midnight shift at the power plant. He was inside getting coffee and I was out at the car listening to the radio when Don Henley’s song “New York Minute” came on with audio snippets of news broadcasts from that day mixed in. That did it-I was in the parking lot, in uniform, and I was freaking BAWLING-to hell with professional dignity!
It’s been 23 years since 9/11, and I still can’t hear that song without it taking me back to that day. May we NEVER forget!
I always loved how they managed to intertwine the characters' work and lives. The only mistake I can think of is the way they killed Alex...it seemed like an afterthought. (And it happened to the actress later again, damn!)
Wow…. When that "knot in your gut" Music drops @1:01 , @1:43 - @2:17 and towards the end of this clip… mmm mmm mmm…🚨🙏🚨 The Goosebumps I get EVERYTIME watching this clip as a First Responder…. I think they portrayed "that look" so perfectly because I truly understand that look, As do all First Responders do. When those bells, and multiple alarm tones start flying in practically all at the same time as you and your partner exchange "that look" for those split seconds before you put the pedal to the metal and respond to the direction that everyone is running away from, and as you're already starting to scramble, those multiple calls start pouring in, and you hear the job type changing multiple times before you get there all Indicating that something major is happening and numerous people are hurt and panicking and really need you RIGHT NOW…. It's a feeling you can't fully described other than actually experiencing it as a first responder and I think that this clip and this show in general picked it up perfectly. God bless this phenomenal show that should have never ended and God bless all my brothers and sisters that didn't make it out that day… 🙏🚨🚒🚓🚑🚨🙏
I still can’t believe that in two years we will be honoring the 25th anniversary of this unspeakable tragedy.
The whole series is on Roku channel, enjoy my friends. 🙂
This show returned and did the FDNY special. This and Letterman were like the first to return.
Loved this show!!
Kims reaction at 1:00 bothered me. She turns on the tv and gets visibly upset right away, but its just a tv anchor with no headline or words on the screen.
Live images of what was happening. They didn't show it to us for obvious reasons
Merc S what I meant was that when her mom tells her to turn on the TV she gives no description of what was going on. And when can turn on the t_v there is no headline or images on the screen, just a news anchor sitting at a desk. she gets visibly upset before she could have possibly read or seen anything on the news
xlxcrossxlx that does bother me also and u couldn't even hear what he was saying like I understand why they didn't show actual footage but you could give the man a voice
News reporters are practically trained at the start to remain neutral, having an upset journalist along with a very frantic mother is enough for a clue that something bad is happening in New York. Not including the tone of voice. I like they do this in complete silence, just showing the reactions to what is going on. People actually bashed BBC for their lack of reaction to 9/11 since the journalists there had no real idea the impact of what was going on while the U.S. was flipping out.
Maybe within a second it switched to images of the WTC?
I'm curious. Did Ty and Sully rush back to NYC? And why were there 2 engines leaving the station?
The firefighters were in shift transfer; it happened with all fire departments that were, they had no idea how bad it was, but it was enough for all hands on deck to forget everything and go FUBAR to help.
Ty and Sully did go back; he got married a few weeks later when the dust settled.
This is recorded from a vhs tape. This is insane
Back in the early 2000s, VHS Recorders were still used... Good times.

I’m 23 and I still use em. Only streaming I have is Amazon.
New York Undercover & Third Watch historical collection for film & acting 🎭 Found on Tubi & the rating honestly should be 9 out of 10 because the script writing was everything! In certain parts its kind of a slower start and towards 4th season the videography quality is gritty some but them actors together WOW 💯 DID they win awards, if not should have! They don’t make them like these anymore!! 👏👏
Truly a fantastic show and great cast by far awesome job how they went from different departments
God Bless NYC FD andPD when most people ran from the scene, they ran toward it.
Yeah-True/Very-True what You're saying-there Amy, it's-true even-though the only-FireFighters and Police-Officers who-were running away from-the Site were the Ones who-were still-outside the Bulidings away-from the two Building towers incase of-backup for-the Ones-Inside.!!!
They didn’t hesitate or thought twice about it 🇺🇸
This episode gives my chills
A horrible day for America, but also for the rest of the world. A lot of innocent families lost loved ones that day.
The WTC box was 8087 WTC 2@ Liberty Street, not 8097, as the dispatcher said in the show.
Michael Sheehy the box # was changed prob. to show respect and to not make actual victims revisit that day
@@briangallagher9279 I know its 6 years late, but box # 8097 was most likely the staging area for the alarm.
Everytime I see this clip when it shows the firefighters rushing to put their turnout gear on it sends a chill down my spine.
RIP to all who we lost that day.
I can see the world trade center beyond the empire state building in the show
Not possible, this episode was aired after 9/11
Animated
I literally got goosebumps after noticing the WTC also in the background with all the smoke billowing from it.
The Twin Towers are shown briefly without any damage. Were the towers digitally inserted into the shot, or was this episode recorded prior to 9/11?
Actually... I dont think its the Twin Towers as I thought....... 9/11 was still an inside job though, and the scumbag society is stupid.
Third Watch was filmed in NYC and had background shots of the WTC from dozens of angles. When they did this episode, they picked locations where they had footage of the Towers in one piece and digitally edited the original footage to the actors' new performances so it appeared to be, as the title of the episode said "September 10th."
When Faith exits the subway at (2:32) it looks like Squad 55 driving past, but when they leave the station there's Engine 57 and Squad 55
I remember watching this episode and it was boring as hell, nothing happened, a 48h shift with almost no action. Than, at the end, I was shocked. It went from chillness to mayhem in one call. I went to sleep speechless afterwards.
That's pretty much what being in fire/rescue is like. Not as bad as 9/11, thank the gods, but most of the time our lives at the station can be summed up as "99% boredom, 1% all hell breaking loose!"
That’s how 9/11 unfolded. I was 13 years old in 8th grade. I remember it like it was yesterday.
It was on a Tuesday morning. It was a typical day. Very beautiful. Most of the country had fair, beautiful weather. It was about time for the weather to begin its transition to Fall from Summer.
It was boring. But I also had intuition telling me something was wrong between 8:30am and 9:00am on my first class which was PE. Shrugged it off and went about the rest of gym class.
The events began to unfold as the day progressed.
There’s actually a documentary about juvenile firefighters that was filmed starting a month before 9/11.
The filmmakers said a few days before the attack they were getting a lot of footage of the interior of the firehouse because very little was happening and wasn’t enough to record.
The captain told them that it’s always so calm and quiet before something big happens.
Two days before the attack a fire took one of the lives of the firefighters and they thought that was it.
They were stunned a few days later.
really fred 2:34, a plane just hit a building and every squad car in the city is on their way of course they need her
I remember Fred always being a douche in this show lol
I hate Fred also... But seeing the look on his face at the moment seeing Faith drive off...
It just speaks a million words. He was an asshole, but he was worried sick about her that moment.
Well, holdup. His reason might have been to protect his wife. Maybe he thought she'd die in it.
which eopisde was this from i like to see the full eopisde
This one made me cry
Do you still remember what you were doing when they hit the New York towers? I do!! Still hunts me down like a bad nightmare
I live new York when this happened it was like chaos the first time my life i seen fighter jets fly over every business shut down the streets were empty I took the bus home it was jam pack people getting off the subways security at all federal buildings were double i never in my life seen so many cop cars fly by there was a fire station a few blocks from my job they were empty i will never forget that day the funny and crazy part was a little over a year ago I applied for a job at in the world center.
I have Season 1 and 2 but that's it.Bought them at Future shop.I'd like to have the rest.Best series ever since M*A*S*H

some people did something
omg ho shit
I’m watching it now finally my favorite show came on although these episodes are so touchy , the character Carlos : the EMT id like to slap him upside his head , such a sensitive subject and tearing episodes his attitude stinks it always did from day one , now I know he’s just acting , but cmon who wrote where he should be a jerk even through this ???? Horrible
Classic
Did they find out who did it?
WTF???
I have it only by this video.-... It laggs lol xD ^^
91th 2024
The fuck is wrong with the video, skips like crazy
That looks fun. Hanging off the back like that. XD
Actually, many jurisdictions have banned the practice of riding on the backs of fire engines because of the risk of falling off and getting killed in the fall or by other traffic has increased dramatically as speed limits have gone up. The next county over from us banned it in 1987 or thereabouts because of a firefighter getting killed after the engine went around a corner and she fell off due to the centrifugal force causing her to lose her grip. Others followed suit before or at the same time, if not sooner. I myself have only done so once, and that was on a mountain fire call in the next county where the mini-pumper was only going about 5 miles an hour up this crazy gravel fire road, and believe me when I tell you it's not as fun as it looks! Even with a safety harness, I was worried about losing my grip or getting bounced off when we hit a rock or a rut in the road due to the angle of the road going up. Going back down was WAY more fun because all we had to worry about was smacking into the back of the hose bed and the guys I was riding with were treating it like they were riding a mechanical bull or something. That was over 15 years ago, and I haven't done it since. It's just as well-now that we've got a ton of equipment on the back, there's nowhere for us to grab anyway.
With the extra manpower there was no room left to ride in the cab, so jakes grabbed every hand hold they could find.
Yeah but it made for a cool shot for TV
That day in real life there was several FDNY stations that broke policy and had firefighters riding like that
