This weekend sir I brought up to other History friends at a WW2 Sept 11 memorial show I did a lil of free advertising for ya and this video actually has me chocked up growing up as a Navy brat my dad was stationed at Camp Johnson in NC I became a first responder day before 9-11 and knew several FDNY and those in the Pentagon who died
As a 54yo Australian bloke, I feel the need to say that this was a beautiful video of who & what America & its’ citizens are. I sincerely hope that your wonderful country can find a way to be United again.
Todd Beamer went to my high school and my dad was Todd's basketball coach. September 11 is a day that my family and high school remember this brave man and what he did. Thank you for sharing his story. Todd Beamer was a hero.
Every time I think of Flight 93 it brings me to tears to this day. Ordinary people reacting heroically in extraordinary circumstances and saved thousands. I agree that this is a watershed moment for people of our generation that was pivotal and will never be forgotten.
This episode brought tears to me. I live in South Central Pennsylvania. My sister worked then and still works in the Pentagon. Her office was destroyed during the attack. She overslept that morning. She still suffers survivor's guilt. I lost a college buddy at the WTC. NEVER FORGET THESE AND ALL OTHER HEROS FROM THAT FATEFUL MORNING!!
Since watching this video I made the trip to the memorial site. It was worth the 6 hour drive. Beautiful, emotional and inspiring. They truly were heroes that day. I wanted my teenagers to understand how brave these people were.
According to Siri, it’s 4 1/2 hours from here. Maybe I can make the trip myself sometime in the future. I wish I could sooner but few health things to take care of them before I can go too far. But I would like to see it.
“.. and became the first frontline fighters on the War on Terror.” wow. just wow. i am in tears. thank you for a video on Flight 93. I don’t hear enough about it.
I held up until you mentioned the Psalm 23 prayer and begin reciting it. I ABSOLUTELY SHATTERED. That hit me like a truck. Especially given the significance of the phrasing of that prayer and how it resembles the actual final moments of these heroes. "Lying down in green pastures", "ye though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil" literally as they walked in that valley, they feared no evil. Man that....dude...I wasn't ready for that. Beautiful and heart-tearing video dude.
History Traveler, you walked a poignant journey in taking us down this path, on that tragic day. I'm proud to share with you that the Canadian communities of Gander, Newfoundland and Halifax, Nova Scotia gave shelter and solace to those who crossed our shores on Sept. 11, 2001.
2:15 There is no man alive who could, in the span of a ~20 minute video, do this story true justice. Don’t be harsh on yourself. Thank you for honouring the fallen and remembering them.
The man who designed that monument, Sam Pellman, was my college advisor and a musical genius in his own right. He sadly was killed in 2017. I honor his life in addition to all of those lost on 9/11 whenever this time of year comes around.
I was 10 years old on that day and I remember being in 5th grade. I’m a sheriffs deputy now and I’m not ashamed to admit that this is an absolutely beautiful video that left me in tears. I hope that I can be half as brave as these hero’s when my day comes.
A beautiful tribute to Flight 93. You did an excellent job conveying the message of the site. I especially loved the recitation of Psalms 23. Thank you for the work you do bringing history alive.
You did amazing job in putting this video all together. Like, as you said those that remember that day will never forget where they were, or what they were doing. The magnitude and sorrow it caused was unbelievable, but ironically brought out some good out of by bringing everyone in America together.
@@SallyM-7777 That's a lovely sentiment, and I'm sure you're a lovely person. But if this event, like the bombing of Pearl Harbor, can be credited with "bringing everyone in America together," we must also admit that what brought us together was a thirst for revenge. It bears thinking about.
I’m french Canadian. I made sure both my kids know about 9/11. It left such an impact in my mind and the world. I think it’s important to pass this along so history doesn’t repeat itself. Those of us who were alive when it happened, still remember where we were and what we were doing that day. Every year, around the anniversary, I watch survivor videos, commemorative videos etc. And it always bring back the same feeling I felt on that day.
Do you tell them about Gander, and the other towns of Newfoundland who took in the nearly 7,000 passengers and crew who were diverted there? It amazes me How we can get the worst and best of humanity at the same time.
If you're ever in the area, you should go. It's free and only takes a few hours to go through. Fort Ligonier isn't far away from it, as well as a really cute theme park called Idelwild (it's great for kids). Johnstown, PA isn't very far either - lots of flood history to be found there.
I've not heard of this memorial before. I did visit the USA in 2001 for the NASCAR race at Dover Downs and a week later the F1Grand Prix in Indianapolis. We landed in Washington DC a week after 9/11. We had flown around NYC and there was still smoke coming out of that city. At Dover Downs we could see the military transports taking off each on was cheered by the crowd. It's good to see the memorial for the people who saved other innocent lives.
Such an awesome tribute to the 4th high jacked plane, Flight 93. I just want to say that may all the victims of that day rest in peace and all their loved ones live in peace.
I would rather something like this would never have to be made but sadly people need to remember this day. This day started will evil acts of murder and then becomes something of herorisom and bravery like you could not imagine. we should never EVER let this be stripped from our minds. God bless you brother for doing your part in helping us not forget. We will remember together the victims of 9/11. It was as strange today because I was just working on my Facebook tribute for 9/11 getting reading to post on the 11th Something I have never done before,.I'm looking this year at all the victims but more the children who lost their lives on that fateful morning who be in their 20s but also looking at the children who lost loved ones from inside the tower and heroes like police, firemen who also lost their lives and left wives and unborn children behind. I'm British and 20 years later it still rips out my heart to hear stories read and also watch these events take place in real-time as it did all over the World News. s Together we REMEMBER everyone.
There's a bunch of historical TH-cam channels that show historic places and people. The level of respect that you give to the memories and places of importance is something that I admire. Whether it's a 9/11 memorial, Arlington Cemetery or Dick Winter's personal collection you tell a great story and give the respect they deserve. Thank you.
I am an avid American History buff and you, sir, do all of these stories justice. I just watched this am in tears without having even visited but I will be going 2 weeks from tomorrow. A 4 hour drive is the least I can do to honor these 40; a truly honoring and powerful episode. Let’s keep history alive. Bless you.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Thank you for doing this, you honored the memories of those brave Heroes with dignity and grace, Bravo. We will never forget the Heroes of Flight 93. May they rest in Peace.
My husband is from Somerset County, PA. We’ve seen this memorial grow from the humble beginning of 40 homemade angels with each person’s name on them and several bulletin boards where people wrote notes and hung them on them. Then there were the pictures, mementos, etc... in metal buildings, then the opening of the new memorial and now to what it is today. A lot of work, thought and love went into this memorial that lies in the middle of nowhere, in a humble field in Pennsylvania. Thank you for this!! You did a great job!!!!
I was born and raised in Somerset County. I live now live in another state, but my family still lives in Somerset County. Just seconds before the plane crashed my brother was outside working in Boswell and he seen it fly over. My mother was also in Boswell, and she heard it but did not see it since she was in her house. My father and half-brother were outside in the yard at their house in Friedens, which is just outside of Somerset, and they saw it flying low just before it crashed.
I distinctly remember this day 20 years ago. I was sitting on the floor with my then 1 year old son with the tv on in the background when the news flashes began. I now have 21 years in the military, added 2 daughters and my son is a full grown, Godly man. May we never forget, nor fail to pass on what happened that day. Thank you sir
This is BEAUTIFUL tribute, Sir!!!! I think the monument at 93 feet high for Flight 93, and the 40 bells signaling each passenger and crew. The crash site area is equally as stunning. It’s ALL stunning & haunting. Whomever designed that, did an extremely sensitive and beautiful memorial. I worked and lived as an RN in OKC when the domestic terrorist attacked the Murrah Building by Timothy McVeigh. I’d love to see you travel to OKC and see the Memorial if you haven’t already. I will never forget EITHER event which shaped our history just like you stated at the first of your talk. May they ALL who lost their lives on 9/11 & in OKC rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏻💔🙏🏻 Thank you for doing such justice to this historic and tragic day in history!
I was working the morning news at a midwestern U.S. city news station that day when the network broke in and the world changed. I knew three people lost that day. It still seems like last week. Twenty years later I still feel the shock and power that changed my life forever. It's alright J.D., we all feel our words are inadequate. Another fine tribute. Keep traveling.
I’m not an emotional man but I’ve never felt more humbled and emotional as I can remember. Fantastic episode, humbling tribute to ordinary people giving the ultimate sacrifice for our Nation. Can’t believe 27 people gave this the thumbs down.
What a heart felt episode 163 is. I cried while you were saying Psalm 23. I was driving N.B on interest 95. (Tractor Trailer). The cb was going nuts. As I was heading into Washington DC. All trucks were directed to the west side of the loop. We had police and air support directions coming over our cb's. I had no idea of the complete terror until I got to Elkton Md. I sure hope years from now. This day doesn't turn out to be hot dogs and hamburgers in someone's back yard. Blessing to you for this Episode 163.
Cried myself at the same exact time and still crying . Also a DMV ( District , Maryland , Virginia ) resident as well so the appreciation that I have for these people is unmeasurable . JD you did each and everyone of those people on that plane that day proud . USA FOREVER 🇺🇸🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼🇺🇸
The memorial has so many recordings and so much information. I was grateful to visit there in February 2020. It is worth the trip. The wind was still, so i didn't get to hear the bells. But everyone who can, should go. Never forget how ordinary people became extraordinary heroes.
This made me cry a little. I was 21 at the time of 9/11, so I remember the day vividly. But I'd never seen the Flight 93 memorial before. It's both haunting and beautiful. I love the idea behind the Tower of Voices. I wish it had been breezy so you could've heard the music. Well done tribute, JD, and really appreciated today. Can't believe it's been 20 years.
i kept waiting for them to sway a little and tinggsingg , but alas , that's why we ALLLL must GO AND DO JUSTICE BY VISITING AND LETTING THEM TELL US THEIR OWN SELVES!!! How Mercy and GOOD GOES ONWARDS!!! .. The deer family were there though, thus God's especially Good Grace as they were especially there in daytime for us as a gift. Thank You for mentioning the Tower of Voices, now we'll remember and look up more videos too or go hear it personally!
I was 23, getting ready for work in Seattle on the West Coast. I feel ya. I always turned on the TV news when I got up as background noise. I didn’t see the first plane hit the South tower but knew immediately it wasn’t right. No pilot would do that. They would have downed the plane anywhere else. I saw the second plane hit on live TV. No words can describe it. My Grandparents who helped raise me went through Pearl Harbor and my Papa (Grandfather) served in the Pacific during WW2. My Papa passed away in 1998. I’m so glad he didn’t live to see this. It would have crushed him. My Grandmother, his widow was moved in a way I can’t explain. I’m obviously not going to share that on social media. The only other time in my life I ever saw my Grandmother get that upset was when my Papa died. People that care about this Country and know that it’s an imperfect but beautiful unique thing, the greatest social experiment in human history know the impact of this. The terrorists tried to shake our resolve. They did it because they are evil people that don’t believe in the goodness of humanity and the American people. We are a nation of many different people, immigrants from all over the planet. I’m a Great Grandson of a Scottish immigrant. No matter how politicians try to divide us, we, in the end are all Americans and our stories really aren’t that much different.
I was a month from my 21st birthday serving in the Navy in San Diego. if you go to the 9/11 museum and memorial in NYC it is haunting. reading all the names of the people who died that day and the occasional mother with unborn child is overwhelming. forever ingrained in our consciousness and memory ❤️🗽🇺🇸
I was 21 as well ,still remember this like yesterday my wife now was my girlfriend of 4 mnths she called me at work and saud did i see what happened in new york i said no what at the time she was telling me she said a small plane hit the tower about that time i herd it on radio so i turned it up and when they said the next building was hit i knew it was a terrorist attack and man i remember felling so angry, sad vengeful then as the days passed proud, PROUD to be an American and the way we all pulled together. I always watch footage of 9/11 and i dont think ill ever not feel like it was that same day
I lived in DC at the time and it was speculated that the third plane would be heading there target unknown : capitol or White House perhaps ( no one was guessing the Pentagon🥵
Sir you did it justice!!! An AMAZING TRIBUTE to the Hero’s on that flight. Being a Veteran I’ve known many who have fought against Terrorism and know a few who gave their all and the 40 people people on that plane are now on that list on true American Heroes who gave their all!!!!! WELL DONE!!!!!!
We were there a year ago at this time. My heart was truly broken. We lost someone from our hometown of Lemoore, California, Lt. Cmdr. Otis Tolbert who was at the Pentagon. Thank you for this JD, you did a beautiful job commemorating these lives. Our daughter was in band and in 2002 the Liberty Patriots rallying cry was “Let’s Roll!” in honor of Todd Beamer 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
With all of the stress and anxiety of our recent times, I was making a conscious effort to avoid revisiting the pain of 9/11 this year. This video is literally the only coverage I’ve consumed. I’m so grateful that I did. The humility in your tour of this site allowed the space for me to let my emotions roam with yours. Turns out I didn’t need a break from 9/11. I just needed a different way to remember it. Thank you.
You did yourself proud with this video. It is one of the best that I have seen and I have been working my way through your excellent videos. One of the heroes of 93 was raised in the small village of Clinton New York. Last year there was a monument to him in the form of a granite bench in the school yard. Even though he lived in NJ, he was a small town kid. His family still lives in the area. Thank you JD for making such a great tribute to the heroes of Flight 93.
thank you so much for filming this. i had tears in my eyes not for sorrow but with pride in my heart that those 40 saved countless others. may they forever be in our heart and minds. GOD BLESS THE USA
Thank you for going out there and showing the rest of us who have yet to visit how beautiful of a memorial it is. I plan on going out there one day. We will never forget these brave heroes.
That day i was serving in another army across the atlantic from you. We heard the radiomessage. Everybody fell silent and went to pack their stuff. "We are going to war over this with somebody" some soldier remarked. Turned out we stood shoulder to shoulder with the US for the next 20 years. Very proud off our soldiers ...
You did a great job JD. Your content is awesome, don't put yourself down. When you recited Psalm 23, it brought me to tears. You helped us remember what should never be forgotten. Thank you!
J.D, You have produced one of the most beautiful storytelling films I have seen in a long time. As I have commented before, your cam shots, angles, and movement are spectacular. I am in tears. I remember! And will never forget! Thank you so much for taking the time to produce this documentary. NEVER FORGET….9/11….
Beautiful tour, thank you so much! ♥ I felt like I was right there, walking with you. A wonderful tribute to the passengers and crew of Flight 93. We will not forget their sacrifice.
Very well presented. I was getting ready for work when my sister called, she told me to turn on my TV that an airplane just hit the WTC. I was one of the millions of other people who watched as the second plane hit the second tower not sure what was happening to our country. As the reports of the other two planes came in I remember the sick feeling I had in the pit of my stomach. My brother-in-law's brother was a pilot for United and it seemed like an eternity until we found out he was OK but was ordered out of the sky. I am so proud of everyone who stood up to those hijackers. Rest in peace.
We just happened across this video last night, thank you for showing us this. I was moved to tears and when you recited the 23rd Psalm it was just moving. Thank you. May we never forget.
I live in the Netherlands and have not heard of this, and am seeing this for the first time. a pity that little attention is paid to these heroes, heroes who have prevented worse. Rest in peace heroes. Greetings from the Netherlands.
the story of flight 93 gets me every time. Before taking the field for every one of my football games, I'd always say to myself: "Let's roll." - Todd Beamer.
The memories come flooding back what I was doing, where I was at, all the emotions, and the impact of what occured. Beautiful tribute to the hero's that day J.D.
JD, my husband and I watched this on the 11th. We were incredibly touched by your presentation. We so very much appreciate the honor and attention to details you convey. My hope is someday we are able to see the memorial in person. I carry the families in my heart and never forget. Your videos express exceptional love and respect for our worlds history, you are much appreciated. May you and your family stay healthy, shielded from all harm and blessed always. Yvonne.
Thank you for your comforting words, Dena. It seems impossible that 20 years (almost 21 now) have passed - there are moments and days when the pain of our loss is as deep and as sharp as it was on that surreal day. Thank you most profoundly, JD, for your beautiful, honest, and genuinely, deeply respectful tribute. Thank you SO much for so reverently sharing Psalm 23... Your video is a precious gift to us all, but especially to the family, friends and loved ones of every single one of those 40 honor-filled patriots! God bless you and keep you! And may the prayers and gratitude of all who view this wonderful tribute, or visit the Flight 93 Memorial in person, bring some small measure of comfort to those left behind. 💕🙏 💕
Beautiful tribute. One moment that most these passengers and crew got that those on the other flights didn’t was a possible chance to say goodbye to loved ones on the phone or through a voice message. This day will forever be in my heart. Everyone has his or her story of that day. My brother was a flight attendant for American on that day and I knew he was on the east coast. I tried all day to get ahold of him but no luck. Later that evening I did finally speak to him. He was on Flight AA11 the day prior...9/10. My husband at the time was a high ranking Federal Agent. Immediately after the second plane hit the tower, we knew it was an act of terrorism and his beeper (look it up kids) went crazy. Like everyone’s stories, it seems like yesterday. I started hugging my children a little tighter, said “I love you” when ever we said goodbye and I continue to pray for those who lost loved ones on that tragic day. This is a beautiful video, thank you!
This was perfectly done , for someone who was at the towers when they were attacked, you have done this day proud with a tribute that is perfect in every way. Thank you JD for helping keep history alive and for telling this story in am appropriate way. Bless you
Your words were perfect, thank you for sharing this. I have visited this site a few times and you did a great job for those who may never see this site in person.
Great job JD! Can’t think of a better history channel on TH-cam. Your Gettysburg series inspired me to take my family there for my first visit in 40 years. And now this…moved to tears on a Saturday morning. All I can say is outstanding. And the runtime of the video shows as 19:11. Was that luck of the draw or careful editing?
What a beautiful introduction to this memorial! Now, I have to go and visit there in person and pay respect to these brave people who out smarted the enemy.
My friend, just wonderful reporting, commentary, and the pause. When you know to be solemn. Please. Keep up the wonderful work. And thank you for moving me to tears. We will NEVER, EVER FORGET
J.D., your commentary about Flight 93 was very eloquent. You couldn’t have done any better. You had me in tears with your words. Thank you for that moving tribute to the passengers and crew of Flight 93.
We in Australia watched incredulously at what was first thought of as an elaborate movie prop scene , which then turned out to be gasping reality. Thankyou JD. My faith is always renewed hearing Psalm 23, but especially in this modern day setting. God bless you, Sir.
Wow, many a deep breaths taken while watching this. Easily the most memorable day of my life. I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am with this episode. A beautiful homage to Flight 93, very well done. Never Forget. ❤🇺🇸
I was fortunate to be a Plankowner of the USS SOMERSET (LPD 25) a Navy ship that’s namesake to the county of Shanksville. During her commissioning ceremony, it was an honor to have escorted the surviving family members of the first 40 fallen heroes on the war against terrorism. Those brave Americans prevented additional death and damage that would have came to either the Capitol Building or White House. Metal from a crane that was nearby the United 93 crash site was used to lay the keel during the construction of USS SOMERSET. When 9/11 occurred I was stationed onboard USS SHILOH (CG 73) and we returned to sea within a few hours after the attack to protect the California coastline, enforcing a “no fly zone” restriction. I will never forget!
Thanks for your service ! The Flight 93 fallen heroes sacrificed everything to prevent the hijackers from completing their heinous plot and killing unknown scores of other people So glad there is a fitting memorial for them now and pray they are indeed resting in peace and that their families fared okay
My dad was on the USS Abraham Lincoln i think it was in san diego. I was also in SD at the time. He was also just coming home and had to turn right back around
I don’t like admitting this… But this video moved me to tears! No words can describe the outstanding job you did sharing the experience of this place. Very moving! Very sobering! And I’m sure that each and every one of those people would be ashamed of the people we have become today…. Fighting and bickering over nonsense… divided on every subject. I’m sure all of those people, of differing backgrounds, faiths, social statuses, came together and fought for one thing! And they prevailed! Thank you for covering this! What a humbling experience!
JD - your video on Flight 93 and the Shanksville Memorial was beyond excellent. Not only was it well done from a videography perspective but your sentiments really touched me. Especially when you recounted Todd Beamer’s reciting Psalm’s 23. Maybe I’m getting old but I genuinely teared up when you did that as you’re walking the grounds. We’ll done!
Beautiful and respectfully done ! I didn’t know that Beamer was a man of faith and the tears came as he said the scripture!!!!!!! You COULD NOT have done a better job with this vlog !!!!!!!! Much respect to you ! I have memory ! And I WILL NOT FORGET !
Thankyou. I feel this flight always gets less mention. You have done this so tastfully and compassionately. I neverknew this place existed. Its haunting. May they all RIP 💕💕💕💕💕
This will always be my favorite vlog. You did an amazing job showing complete respect for our nations heroes and their fight against the evil demonstrated on 9/11. A very moving video that made me cry.
Excellent tribute. Thinking about your closing words regarding teaching this to the school age children, made me realize I was born 20 years after Pearl Harbor happened. In school I thought it was "ancient history", but now realize this will be "ancient history" to my grandkids. Thank you for always presenting your stories with great respect.
Well done my friend. You have brought honor to the brave by remembering them through this video. I really appreciate all you do not just for Flight 93 but all of the places you have gone. Your work brings the tragedies and triumphs down to a personal level where we can at least get a sense of what happened. Thank you for all you do.
All I can say is this young man did a heartfelt tribute to the 40 lives who had nothing in common, but had their eternity in common in a very short period of time. I personally learned a great deal that I did not know beforehand. For that I am very grateful for his labor of love, respect and sadness in educating people like myself for the insight, and the memorials built to remember. Thank you
You started off your commentary by apologizing for your short comings. Do you realize just how good you are??? I just found you on the tube when you were covering Gettysburg. Your coverage of most topics are very well done. Your coverage of flight 93 was extraordinary!!!
Hi, I’m watching this from Manchester UK and just wanted to let you know what an amazing job you have done of telling this/their story, done with such compassion and grace. I have literally been moved to tears xx
Thank you for the work that you do. Not only are you helping teach so many and help so many to experience nuggets of history, but you remind us consistently of where we have come from and what it took to get us to where we are today. This episode truly gave me chills! We will never forget and and we must never forgot such hero’s as those on Flight 93. God Bless!
Your best video yet. I was there on 9/11/11, they didn't have the over hang completed yet. Looks very impressive. A tough place to visit. Some family members were still there the time I got there 10 years ago. They were still in the field near the rock placed on the impact sight. Seeing them out there, and when they came back up near the wooden gate where a bunch of us were standing, it was a surreal experience.
This is something to see. I knew a passenger on that flight that day. I went to high school with them, and we graduated the same year. I never thought this would ever happen in my lifetime. Thank you
This was such a beautiful tribute. The passengers and crew on Flight 93 will forever be hero's in everyones minds. Their courage and bravery saved so many lives. Seeing everyone's names is absolutely heartbreaking. I think you are so right, we need to pass stories like this down for generations to come. A story of tremendous sacrifice but hope that the human race can overcome evil.
Well done sir. We took our children here a few years ago...what a haunting place. I got chills and tears as I watched this. You have honored their memory with the way you present the history of that day. I know many many people visit NYC and DC and rightfully so, but this place needs to be visited too. The fact it is a bit "out of the way" so to speak makes it even more worthy of the time and effort to visit. Some of our most important memorials and monuments take effort to get to them, but I have always been moved when we have made that effort. Keep up your work!
Thank you for this. 29 years old that day. The feelings never go away. So thankful for the men & women on this flight that fought back. God bless them. God bless you, JD for taking us to this place of honor.
Love the title! Gives you pause and reflection on what it must have been like for that brave group of Americans! The title gives that connotation of hidden depth!!
Excellent tribute, I am from the U.K my heart sinks when I think of that day, I remember sat coming home from school crying and what I was seeing. One day I hope I get to visit ground zero and this memorial. Sad and Somber ... we will never forget .. RIP.
Beautiful! I was leaving secondary school at 3pm in the UK on that day, and it has never been easy to dissect what I witnessed like many others. Beautiful tribute, video and words!
I had never known till this morning how beautiful a memorial there is out in these fields. OMG. I lost a dear friend in the North Tower. This is so heartwarming. Thank you!!

This weekend sir I brought up to other History friends at a WW2 Sept 11 memorial show I did a lil of free advertising for ya and this video actually has me chocked up growing up as a Navy brat my dad was stationed at Camp Johnson in NC I became a first responder day before 9-11 and knew several FDNY and those in the Pentagon who died
You did a great job.
Subscribed, thank you.
As a 54yo Australian bloke, I feel the need to say that this was a beautiful video of who & what America & its’ citizens are. I sincerely hope that your wonderful country can find a way to be United again.
Todd Beamer went to my high school and my dad was Todd's basketball coach. September 11 is a day that my family and high school remember this brave man and what he did. Thank you for sharing his story. Todd Beamer was a hero.
My dad also went to Los Gatos High school.
Every time I think of Flight 93 it brings me to tears to this day. Ordinary people reacting heroically in extraordinary circumstances and saved thousands. I agree that this is a watershed moment for people of our generation that was pivotal and will never be forgotten.
This episode brought tears to me. I live in South Central Pennsylvania. My sister worked then and still works in the Pentagon. Her office was destroyed during the attack. She overslept that morning. She still suffers survivor's guilt.
I lost a college buddy at the WTC.
NEVER FORGET THESE AND ALL OTHER HEROS FROM THAT FATEFUL MORNING!!
How was it destroyed as there’s no footage ..?
I have lots of family in Somerset County. My Aunt and Uncle and some cousins live in Meyersdale Pa. Not to far away. My Dad grew up in Meyersdale
sorry for your loss, thank God for you sister.
I’m so sorry for your loss 💔 I’m so glad you’re sister is ok 🩷
Since watching this video I made the trip to the memorial site. It was worth the 6 hour drive. Beautiful, emotional and inspiring. They truly were heroes that day. I wanted my teenagers to understand how brave these people were.
According to Siri, it’s 4 1/2 hours from here. Maybe I can make the trip myself sometime in the future. I wish I could sooner but few health things to take care of them before I can go too far. But I would like to see it.
“.. and became the first frontline fighters on the War on Terror.” wow. just wow. i am in tears. thank you for a video on Flight 93. I don’t hear enough about it.
I read the comment. I knew it was coming. Still cried when he spoke them.
I held up until you mentioned the Psalm 23 prayer and begin reciting it. I ABSOLUTELY SHATTERED. That hit me like a truck. Especially given the significance of the phrasing of that prayer and how it resembles the actual final moments of these heroes. "Lying down in green pastures", "ye though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil" literally as they walked in that valley, they feared no evil. Man that....dude...I wasn't ready for that.
Beautiful and heart-tearing video dude.
Mr Beamer cited the Lord's Prayer. It's not in Palms.
@minshullmisako That's correct. Good catch.
History Traveler, you walked a poignant journey in taking us down this path, on that tragic day. I'm proud to share with you that the Canadian communities of Gander, Newfoundland and Halifax, Nova Scotia gave shelter and solace to those who crossed our shores on Sept. 11, 2001.
2:15 There is no man alive who could, in the span of a ~20 minute video, do this story true justice. Don’t be harsh on yourself. Thank you for honouring the fallen and remembering them.
The man who designed that monument, Sam Pellman, was my college advisor and a musical genius in his own right. He sadly was killed in 2017. I honor his life in addition to all of those lost on 9/11 whenever this time of year comes around.
Wow. So cool
Killed? Wow really? That’s crazy. By who
I was 10 years old on that day and I remember being in 5th grade.
I’m a sheriffs deputy now and I’m not ashamed to admit that this is an absolutely beautiful video that left me in tears. I hope that I can be half as brave as these hero’s when my day comes.
Thank you for taking us with you. I shall never forget that day. Not ever
A beautiful tribute to Flight 93. You did an excellent job conveying the message of the site. I especially loved the recitation of Psalms 23. Thank you for the work you do bringing history alive.
agree/AMEN
You did amazing job in putting this video all together. Like, as you said those that remember that day will never forget where they were, or what they were doing. The magnitude and sorrow it caused was unbelievable, but ironically brought out some good out of by bringing everyone in America together.
@@SallyM-7777 That's a lovely sentiment, and I'm sure you're a lovely person. But if this event, like the bombing of Pearl Harbor, can be credited with "bringing everyone in America together," we must also admit that what brought us together was a thirst for revenge. It bears thinking about.
I’m french Canadian. I made sure both my kids know about 9/11. It left such an impact in my mind and the world. I think it’s important to pass this along so history doesn’t repeat itself. Those of us who were alive when it happened, still remember where we were and what we were doing that day. Every year, around the anniversary, I watch survivor videos, commemorative videos etc. And it always bring back the same feeling I felt on that day.
Do you tell them about Gander, and the other towns of Newfoundland who took in the nearly 7,000 passengers and crew who were diverted there? It amazes me How we can get the worst and best of humanity at the same time.
I have never seen this memorial. Just beautiful JD. Wonderful job.
If you're ever in the area, you should go. It's free and only takes a few hours to go through. Fort Ligonier isn't far away from it, as well as a really cute theme park called Idelwild (it's great for kids). Johnstown, PA isn't very far either - lots of flood history to be found there.
Very somber place.
I went there before the memorial was built. Cloudy and cold the day visited. Quiet and sad.
Hallowed ground.🙏
I'm from Ligonier
@@bobbyplummer4415 nice! I think I'm going to check out Ligonier days this year - do you recommend?
I've not heard of this memorial before. I did visit the USA in 2001 for the NASCAR race at Dover Downs and a week later the F1Grand Prix in Indianapolis. We landed in Washington DC a week after 9/11. We had flown around NYC and there was still smoke coming out of that city. At Dover Downs we could see the military transports taking off each on was cheered by the crowd. It's good to see the memorial for the people who saved other innocent lives.
Such an awesome tribute to the 4th high jacked plane, Flight 93. I just want to say that may all the victims of that day rest in peace and all their loved ones live in peace.
I would rather something like this would never have to be made but sadly people need to remember this day. This day started will evil acts of murder and then becomes something of herorisom and bravery like you could not imagine. we should never EVER let this be stripped from our minds. God bless you brother for doing your part in helping us not forget. We will remember together the victims of 9/11. It was as strange today because I was just working on my Facebook tribute for 9/11 getting reading to post on the 11th Something I have never done before,.I'm looking this year at all the victims but more the children who lost their lives on that fateful morning who be in their 20s but also looking at the children who lost loved ones from inside the tower and heroes like police, firemen who also lost their lives and left wives and unborn children behind. I'm British and 20 years later it still rips out my heart to hear stories read and also watch these events take place in real-time as it did all over the World News. s Together we REMEMBER everyone.
Very very well said
What you said is so very beautiful!
Amen !!!!
There's a bunch of historical TH-cam channels that show historic places and people. The level of respect that you give to the memories and places of importance is something that I admire. Whether it's a 9/11 memorial, Arlington Cemetery or Dick Winter's personal collection you tell a great story and give the respect they deserve. Thank you.
Thank you. That means a lot.
I am an avid American History buff and you, sir, do all of these stories justice. I just watched this am in tears without having even visited but I will be going 2 weeks from tomorrow. A 4 hour drive is the least I can do to honor these 40; a truly honoring and powerful episode. Let’s keep history alive. Bless you.
Beautiful tribute JD. Both powerful and informative.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Thank you for doing this, you honored the memories of those brave Heroes with dignity and grace, Bravo. We will never forget the Heroes of Flight 93. May they rest in Peace.
Very well said. Excellently done! Thank you.
Thank you J.D. for deep honor and respect you have shown to these people.
Absolutely: extremely well done😬👏🏻👏🏻
My husband is from Somerset County, PA. We’ve seen this memorial grow from the humble beginning of 40 homemade angels with each person’s name on them and several bulletin boards where people wrote notes and hung them on them. Then there were the pictures, mementos, etc... in metal buildings, then the opening of the new memorial and now to what it is today. A lot of work, thought and love went into this memorial that lies in the middle of nowhere, in a humble field in Pennsylvania. Thank you for this!! You did a great job!!!!
I was born and raised in Somerset County. I live now live in another state, but my family still lives in Somerset County. Just seconds before the plane crashed my brother was outside working in Boswell and he seen it fly over. My mother was also in Boswell, and she heard it but did not see it since she was in her house. My father and half-brother were outside in the yard at their house in Friedens, which is just outside of Somerset, and they saw it flying low just before it crashed.
I distinctly remember this day 20 years ago. I was sitting on the floor with my then 1 year old son with the tv on in the background when the news flashes began.
I now have 21 years in the military, added 2 daughters and my son is a full grown, Godly man.
May we never forget, nor fail to pass on what happened that day.
Thank you sir
This is BEAUTIFUL tribute, Sir!!!!
I think the monument at 93 feet high for Flight 93, and the 40 bells signaling each passenger and crew. The crash site area is equally as stunning. It’s ALL stunning & haunting. Whomever designed that, did an extremely sensitive and beautiful memorial.
I worked and lived as an RN in OKC when the domestic terrorist attacked the Murrah Building by Timothy McVeigh. I’d love to see you travel to OKC and see the Memorial if you haven’t already.
I will never forget EITHER event which shaped our history just like you stated at the first of your talk.
May they ALL who lost their lives on 9/11 & in OKC rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏻💔🙏🏻
Thank you for doing such justice to this historic and tragic
day in history!
I was working the morning news at a midwestern U.S. city news station that day when the network broke in and the world changed. I knew three people lost that day. It still seems like last week. Twenty years later I still feel the shock and power that changed my life forever. It's alright J.D., we all feel our words are inadequate. Another fine tribute. Keep traveling.
agree
I’m not an emotional man but I’ve never felt more humbled and emotional as I can remember. Fantastic episode, humbling tribute to ordinary people giving the ultimate sacrifice for our Nation. Can’t believe 27 people gave this the thumbs down.
What a heart felt episode 163 is. I cried while you were saying Psalm 23. I was driving N.B on interest 95. (Tractor Trailer). The cb was going nuts. As I was heading into Washington DC. All trucks were directed to the west side of the loop. We had police and air support directions coming over our cb's. I had no idea of the complete terror until I got to Elkton Md. I sure hope years from now. This day doesn't turn out to be hot dogs and hamburgers in someone's back yard. Blessing to you for this Episode 163.
Cried myself at the same exact time and still crying . Also a DMV ( District , Maryland , Virginia ) resident as well so the appreciation that I have for these people is unmeasurable . JD you did each and everyone of those people on that plane that day proud . USA FOREVER 🇺🇸🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼🇺🇸
Me too
I did too. DJ, you always have the right words. (9/11/2023)
The memorial has so many recordings and so much information. I was grateful to visit there in February 2020. It is worth the trip. The wind was still, so i didn't get to hear the bells. But everyone who can, should go. Never forget how ordinary people became extraordinary heroes.
This made me cry a little. I was 21 at the time of 9/11, so I remember the day vividly. But I'd never seen the Flight 93 memorial before. It's both haunting and beautiful. I love the idea behind the Tower of Voices. I wish it had been breezy so you could've heard the music. Well done tribute, JD, and really appreciated today. Can't believe it's been 20 years.
i kept waiting for them to sway a little and tinggsingg , but alas , that's why we ALLLL must GO AND DO JUSTICE BY VISITING AND LETTING THEM TELL US THEIR OWN SELVES!!! How Mercy and GOOD GOES ONWARDS!!! .. The deer family were there though, thus God's especially Good Grace as they were especially there in daytime for us as a gift. Thank You for mentioning the Tower of Voices, now we'll remember and look up more videos too or go hear it personally!
I was 23, getting ready for work in Seattle on the West Coast. I feel ya. I always turned on the TV news when I got up as background noise. I didn’t see the first plane hit the South tower but knew immediately it wasn’t right. No pilot would do that. They would have downed the plane anywhere else. I saw the second plane hit on live TV. No words can describe it. My Grandparents who helped raise me went through Pearl Harbor and my Papa (Grandfather) served in the Pacific during WW2. My Papa passed away in 1998. I’m so glad he didn’t live to see this. It would have crushed him. My Grandmother, his widow was moved in a way I can’t explain. I’m obviously not going to share that on social media. The only other time in my life I ever saw my Grandmother get that upset was when my Papa died. People that care about this Country and know that it’s an imperfect but beautiful unique thing, the greatest social experiment in human history know the impact of this. The terrorists tried to shake our resolve. They did it because they are evil people that don’t believe in the goodness of humanity and the American people. We are a nation of many different people, immigrants from all over the planet. I’m a Great Grandson of a Scottish immigrant. No matter how politicians try to divide us, we, in the end are all Americans and our stories really aren’t that much different.
I was a month from my 21st birthday serving in the Navy in San Diego. if you go to the 9/11 museum and memorial in NYC it is haunting. reading all the names of the people who died that day and the occasional mother with unborn child is overwhelming. forever ingrained in our consciousness and memory ❤️🗽🇺🇸
I was 21 as well ,still remember this like yesterday my wife now was my girlfriend of 4 mnths she called me at work and saud did i see what happened in new york i said no what at the time she was telling me she said a small plane hit the tower about that time i herd it on radio so i turned it up and when they said the next building was hit i knew it was a terrorist attack and man i remember felling so angry, sad vengeful then as the days passed proud, PROUD to be an American and the way we all pulled together. I always watch footage of 9/11 and i dont think ill ever not feel like it was that same day
I lived in DC at the time and it was speculated that the third plane would be heading there target unknown : capitol or White House perhaps ( no one was guessing the Pentagon🥵
Sir you did it justice!!! An AMAZING TRIBUTE to the Hero’s on that flight. Being a Veteran I’ve known many who have fought against Terrorism and know a few who gave their all and the 40 people people on that plane are now on that list on true American Heroes who gave their all!!!!! WELL DONE!!!!!!
🙏🏼
We were there a year ago at this time. My heart was truly broken. We lost someone from our hometown of Lemoore, California, Lt. Cmdr. Otis Tolbert who was at the Pentagon. Thank you for this JD, you did a beautiful job commemorating these lives. Our daughter was in band and in 2002 the Liberty Patriots rallying cry was “Let’s Roll!” in honor of Todd Beamer 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
With all of the stress and anxiety of our recent times, I was making a conscious effort to avoid revisiting the pain of 9/11 this year. This video is literally the only coverage I’ve consumed. I’m so grateful that I did. The humility in your tour of this site allowed the space for me to let my emotions roam with yours. Turns out I didn’t need a break from 9/11. I just needed a different way to remember it. Thank you.
You did yourself proud with this video. It is one of the best that I have seen and I have been working my way through your excellent videos. One of the heroes of 93 was raised in the small village of Clinton New York. Last year there was a monument to him in the form of a granite bench in the school yard. Even though he lived in NJ, he was a small town kid. His family still lives in the area. Thank you JD for making such a great tribute to the heroes of Flight 93.
Wow truly moving. Reading the 23rd Psalm left my wife and I in tears. Thank you for this! Godspeed true heros one and all! ☝☝☝
A very special memorial. Thank you J.T., I didn't know they created such a great place of honor and remembrance for all the people to see.
🇺🇸
thank you so much for filming this. i had tears in my eyes not for sorrow but with pride in my heart that those 40 saved countless others. may they forever be in our heart and minds. GOD BLESS THE USA
This is stunningly heartbreakingly beautiful. Thank you for remembering our Heroes.
Thank you for going out there and showing the rest of us who have yet to visit how beautiful of a memorial it is. I plan on going out there one day. We will never forget these brave heroes.
That day i was serving in another army across the atlantic from you. We heard the radiomessage. Everybody fell silent and went to pack their stuff. "We are going to war over this with somebody" some soldier remarked. Turned out we stood shoulder to shoulder with the US for the next 20 years. Very proud off our soldiers ...
Thank you and God Bless you
Family we remain.
Thank you ❤
Thank you and the rest of your brothers in arms.
Amen, Brother! Appreciate your service.
Thank you for this video and sharing the memorial with us. On 9/11/24 this is a lesson for my daughter in our homeschool. Remember our history.
🙏🏼
Respectful, thoughtful, honorable, and moving. Well done.
You did a great job JD. Your content is awesome, don't put yourself down. When you recited Psalm 23, it brought me to tears. You helped us remember what should never be forgotten. Thank you!
J.D,
You have produced one of the most beautiful storytelling films I have seen in a long time. As I have commented before, your cam shots, angles, and movement are spectacular. I am in tears. I remember! And will never forget! Thank you so much for taking the time to produce this documentary. NEVER FORGET….9/11….
Beautiful tour, thank you so much! ♥ I felt like I was right there, walking with you. A wonderful tribute to the passengers and crew of Flight 93. We will not forget their sacrifice.
Very well presented. I was getting ready for work when my sister called, she told me to turn on my TV that an airplane just hit the WTC. I was one of the millions of other people who watched as the second plane hit the second tower not sure what was happening to our country. As the reports of the other two planes came in I remember the sick feeling I had in the pit of my stomach. My brother-in-law's brother was a pilot for United and it seemed like an eternity until we found out he was OK but was ordered out of the sky. I am so proud of everyone who stood up to those hijackers. Rest in peace.
We just happened across this video last night, thank you for showing us this. I was moved to tears and when you recited the 23rd Psalm it was just moving. Thank you. May we never forget.
Perfect, JD. Just perfectly done and amazingly moving. Just what we needed today.
I live in the Netherlands and have not heard of this, and am seeing this for the first time.
a pity that little attention is paid to these heroes, heroes who have prevented worse.
Rest in peace heroes.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
JD you did fantastic. I’m in tears. My wife & I have been there and never have we been touched as we were upon that visit. Thanks for a great tribute.
the story of flight 93 gets me every time. Before taking the field for every one of my football games, I'd always say to myself:
"Let's roll."
- Todd Beamer.
The memories come flooding back what I was doing, where I was at, all the emotions, and the impact of what occured. Beautiful tribute to the hero's that day J.D.
JD, my husband and I watched this on the 11th. We were incredibly touched by your presentation. We so very much appreciate the honor and attention to details you convey. My hope is someday we are able to see the memorial in person. I carry the families in my heart and never forget.
Your videos express exceptional love and respect for our worlds history, you are much appreciated. May you and your family stay healthy, shielded from all harm and blessed always.
Yvonne.
Thank you. Your words are much appreciated.
JD, thank you for honoring these heros of Flight 93. Beautiful video! My heart aches for their loved ones. May God grant them peace and comfort today.
Thank you for your comforting words, Dena. It seems impossible that 20 years (almost 21 now) have passed - there are moments and days when the pain of our loss is as deep and as sharp as it was on that surreal day. Thank you most profoundly, JD, for your beautiful, honest, and genuinely, deeply respectful tribute. Thank you SO much for so reverently sharing Psalm 23... Your video is a precious gift to us all, but especially to the family, friends and loved ones of every single one of those 40 honor-filled patriots! God bless you and keep you! And may the prayers and gratitude of all who view this wonderful tribute, or visit the Flight 93 Memorial in person, bring some small measure of comfort to those left behind. 💕🙏 💕
Beautiful tribute. One moment that most these passengers and crew got that those on the other flights didn’t was a possible chance to say goodbye to loved ones on the phone or through a voice message. This day will forever be in my heart. Everyone has his or her story of that day. My brother was a flight attendant for American on that day and I knew he was on the east coast. I tried all day to get ahold of him but no luck. Later that evening I did finally speak to him. He was on Flight AA11 the day prior...9/10. My husband at the time was a high ranking Federal Agent. Immediately after the second plane hit the tower, we knew it was an act of terrorism and his beeper (look it up kids) went crazy. Like everyone’s stories, it seems like yesterday. I started hugging my children a little tighter, said “I love you” when ever we said goodbye and I continue to pray for those who lost loved ones on that tragic day. This is a beautiful video, thank you!
This was perfectly done , for someone who was at the towers when they were attacked, you have done this day proud with a tribute that is perfect in every way. Thank you JD for helping keep history alive and for telling this story in am appropriate way. Bless you
Such a tragic day for our country but this is a beautiful tribute to the heroes of Flight 93. Thank you for making this...
The flight full of HERO'S they saved so many other with their unselfish actions
Your words were perfect, thank you for sharing this. I have visited this site a few times and you did a great job for those who may never see this site in person.
Exactly J
They weren't heros, they were murdered by the US government
A fighter jet took down the plane
@@ArtVandelayOfficial sorry you feel this way. I dont agree with you. Please remove your comment
@@user-j4200 Read all the witness statements.
The tower of voices with the wind chimes is just breathtaking. The person who designed this beautiful monument-- just incredible. It's just perfect.
Great job JD! Can’t think of a better history channel on TH-cam. Your Gettysburg series inspired me to take my family there for my first visit in 40 years. And now this…moved to tears on a Saturday morning. All I can say is outstanding. And the runtime of the video shows as 19:11. Was that luck of the draw or careful editing?
Thank you. I really do appreciate that.
I think you did a excellent job.
What a beautiful introduction to this memorial! Now, I have to go and visit there in person and pay respect to these brave people who out smarted the enemy.
I have no words.... thank you for the honor and dignity you have given.
My friend, just wonderful reporting, commentary, and the pause. When you know to be solemn. Please. Keep up the wonderful work. And thank you for moving me to tears. We will NEVER, EVER FORGET
🇺🇸
This is a very nice tribute to flight 93. JD, I appreciate your humility. God bless America, and God bless the family's left after this tragedy.
I don't know how I did not see this video earlier than today. You did a great job, man, of putting this together. Thank you.
J.D., your commentary about Flight 93 was very eloquent. You couldn’t have done any better. You had me in tears with your words. Thank you for that moving tribute to the passengers and crew of Flight 93.
I’ve been there… so heartbreaking. There are no words… thanks for the video! ❤
We in Australia watched incredulously at what was first thought of as an elaborate movie prop scene , which then turned out to be gasping reality. Thankyou JD. My faith is always renewed hearing Psalm 23, but especially in this modern day setting. God bless you, Sir.
Thank you.
Wow, many a deep breaths taken while watching this. Easily the most memorable day of my life. I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am with this episode. A beautiful homage to Flight 93, very well done. Never Forget. ❤🇺🇸
Thank You for sharing this link on Facebook today. Never knew you did this one, thanks again JD !
I was fortunate to be a Plankowner of the USS SOMERSET (LPD 25) a Navy ship that’s namesake to the county of Shanksville. During her commissioning ceremony, it was an honor to have escorted the surviving family members of the first 40 fallen heroes on the war against terrorism. Those brave Americans prevented additional death and damage that would have came to either the Capitol Building or White House. Metal from a crane that was nearby the United 93 crash site was used to lay the keel during the construction of USS SOMERSET. When 9/11 occurred I was stationed onboard USS SHILOH (CG 73) and we returned to sea within a few hours after the attack to protect the California coastline, enforcing a “no fly zone” restriction. I will never forget!
Thanks for your service ! The Flight 93 fallen heroes sacrificed everything to prevent the hijackers from completing their heinous plot and killing unknown scores of other people So glad there is a fitting memorial for them now and pray they are indeed resting in peace and that their families fared okay
Thank you from the UK for your service.
Thank you for your service!
I was at the commissioning of the USS SOMERSET also.
It truly was a humbling experience!
My dad was on the USS Abraham Lincoln i think it was in san diego. I was also in SD at the time. He was also just coming home and had to turn right back around
Would they have shot down anything in the air that wasn't suppose to be there ?
I don’t like admitting this… But this video moved me to tears! No words can describe the outstanding job you did sharing the experience of this place. Very moving! Very sobering! And I’m sure that each and every one of those people would be ashamed of the people we have become today…. Fighting and bickering over nonsense… divided on every subject. I’m sure all of those people, of differing backgrounds, faiths, social statuses, came together and fought for one thing! And they prevailed! Thank you for covering this! What a humbling experience!
🙏🏼
Thank you JD for the opportunity to see and feel this special location. You did a magnificent job! May they rest in peace!
Brother, you 100% nailed this video. Nothing could have made this better. Thank you.
🇺🇲
JD - your video on Flight 93 and the Shanksville Memorial was beyond excellent. Not only was it well done from a videography perspective but your sentiments really touched me. Especially when you recounted Todd Beamer’s reciting Psalm’s 23. Maybe I’m getting old but I genuinely teared up when you did that as you’re walking the grounds. We’ll done!
Beautiful and respectfully done ! I didn’t know that Beamer was a man of faith and the tears came as he said the scripture!!!!!!! You COULD NOT have done a better job with this vlog !!!!!!!! Much respect to you ! I have memory ! And I WILL NOT FORGET !
🙏🏼
This was your best video. Well done. Articulate, graceful, and extremely respectful.
Thankyou. I feel this flight always gets less mention. You have done this so tastfully and compassionately. I neverknew this place existed. Its haunting. May they all RIP 💕💕💕💕💕
This will always be my favorite vlog. You did an amazing job showing complete respect for our nations heroes and their fight against the evil demonstrated on 9/11. A very moving video that made me cry.
Excellent tribute. Thinking about your closing words regarding teaching this to the school age children, made me realize I was born 20 years after Pearl Harbor happened. In school I thought it was "ancient history", but now realize this will be "ancient history" to my grandkids. Thank you for always presenting your stories with great respect.
Well done my friend. You have brought honor to the brave by remembering them through this video. I really appreciate all you do not just for Flight 93 but all of the places you have gone. Your work brings the tragedies and triumphs down to a personal level where we can at least get a sense of what happened. Thank you for all you do.
All I can say is this young man did a heartfelt tribute to the 40 lives who had nothing in common, but had their eternity in common in a very short period of time. I personally learned a great deal that I did not know beforehand. For that I am very grateful for his labor of love, respect and sadness in educating people like myself for the insight, and the memorials built to remember. Thank you
You started off your commentary by apologizing for your short comings. Do you realize just how good you are??? I just found you on the tube when you were covering Gettysburg. Your coverage of most topics are very well done. Your coverage of flight 93 was extraordinary!!!
Hi, I’m watching this from Manchester UK and just wanted to let you know what an amazing job you have done of telling this/their story, done with such compassion and grace. I have literally been moved to tears xx
Thank you. I appreciate that.
I think you did a great job covering this site, and can feel the emotions. Had a tear with Psalms 23
Thank you for the work that you do. Not only are you helping teach so many and help so many to experience nuggets of history, but you remind us consistently of where we have come from and what it took to get us to where we are today. This episode truly gave me chills! We will never forget and and we must never forgot such hero’s as those on Flight 93. God Bless!
Your best video yet. I was there on 9/11/11, they didn't have the over hang completed yet. Looks very impressive. A tough place to visit. Some family members were still there the time I got there 10 years ago. They were still in the field near the rock placed on the impact sight. Seeing them out there, and when they came back up near the wooden gate where a bunch of us were standing, it was a surreal experience.
This is something to see. I knew a passenger on that flight that day. I went to high school with them, and we graduated the same year. I never thought this would ever happen in my lifetime. Thank you
This was such a beautiful tribute. The passengers and crew on Flight 93 will forever be hero's in everyones minds. Their courage and bravery saved so many lives. Seeing everyone's names is absolutely heartbreaking. I think you are so right, we need to pass stories like this down for generations to come. A story of tremendous sacrifice but hope that the human race can overcome evil.
Well done sir. We took our children here a few years ago...what a haunting place. I got chills and tears as I watched this. You have honored their memory with the way you present the history of that day. I know many many people visit NYC and DC and rightfully so, but this place needs to be visited too. The fact it is a bit "out of the way" so to speak makes it even more worthy of the time and effort to visit. Some of our most important memorials and monuments take effort to get to them, but I have always been moved when we have made that effort. Keep up your work!
Thank you from the UK 🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thank you for this. 29 years old that day. The feelings never go away. So thankful for the men & women on this flight that fought back. God bless them. God bless you, JD for taking us to this place of honor.
Love the title! Gives you pause and reflection on what it must have been like for that brave group of Americans! The title gives that connotation of hidden depth!!
Excellent tribute, I am from the U.K my heart sinks when I think of that day, I remember sat coming home from school crying and what I was seeing. One day I hope I get to visit ground zero and this memorial. Sad and Somber ... we will never forget .. RIP.
Beautiful! I was leaving secondary school at 3pm in the UK on that day, and it has never been easy to dissect what I witnessed like many others. Beautiful tribute, video and words!
Same here, went home after school and seen the world I knew changed forever
I was just at this memorial and someone added paintings of all 40 passengers and crew members along the side of that black path. Truly beautiful.
A very good tribute to the victims ❤️🙏 Very emotional to watch, flight 93 touched me most of the 9/11. Rest In Peace Brave Souls ❤️❤️
Thank you for this lovely, moving and informative video. You did these heros proud. Blessings to you and yours.
Still have a pit in my stomach after all these years.Great job again JD.
I had never known till this morning how beautiful a memorial there is out in these fields. OMG. I lost a dear friend in the North Tower. This is so heartwarming. Thank you!!
Thank you. That is much appreciated.
