LOL. As a european that was pretty much alive and aware when this happened. It's really not that bad and plenty of horrifying things have happened since then.
I remember being in gym class and our gym teacher just playing the radio broadcast playing the events as they occurred. we just sat there. the quietest we had ever been. we didn't do anything that day. The sad aura just echoed through the rest of the day, and also that year. God bless those poor souls that lost their lives that day.
That night was probably one of the most disturbing aftermaths of any tragedy in history. New York looked like a ghost town, a resounding silence in what's always been considered a never sleep city
Ain't nothing like this has happened to us since the day of the Pearl Harbor attack!! The first terrorist attack on U.S. soil! Hawaii didn't become a state until the 50's
I am an Indian doing my 8th grade. Remember watching this address on 12th morning our time Live even in our local news channels. 13 years later, when I landed in the US, the first place I visited was the memorial. Such was the impact even for a non-american.
As critical as I am of the Bush administration, this was one of the greatest speeches to come from a sitting president. For this one moment in history there was no difference between the politicians and the American people. We were all wounded. We were all trying to make sense of what happened. We were all trying to carry on. Bush's words feel so authentic here because he's feeling the same pain all Americans felt that day. There's a humanity here that we've never seen from Trump or Biden. It makes you realize how phony politicians are. That true leadership comes when those leaders have to live through the same hardships that the normal American does.
I feel bad for Bush. He was only president for 8 months at this point with pretty much 0 knowledge of foreign threats and terrorism. He never wanted to be a wartime president. Unfortunately, 95% of his time in office was being just that.
Agreed. Never been a fan of Bush but the unanimity of the pain and shock of it all really delivers the authenticity and relatability of the speech. Very well spoken too.
You can only tell a person intentions by the fruits they bare, not their words. On the discussion of his words... you can tell this is not from the heart right? He's reading from a teleprompter. There's nothing going on between those two beady eyes. You notice the part about catching the criminals and him subliminally shaking his head no? Weird isn't it? Not to mention.. this is likely the best out of 5-10 takes.
@@OnlyInaWorldsoCold5-10 takes??? This was broadcast live as he spoke in real time. I’m sure the speech was prepared ahead of time and he practiced it a few times but the major networks all tapped into the live feed as the lights went on in the Oval Office at 8:20 PM on 9/11/2001. This was NOT a recording.
I agree with that. Even just tonight, me and my mother were talking about how the 2024 election is gonna really divide our country, even split families apart. We're heading into a bad year.
@@noaheverett103I don't see this problem getting better either. It's now becoming more widespread throughout the rest of the world. Left vs right. East vs West. The hate people have now is unlike anything Ive seen
I agree too! But even if something just as horrible were to happen today, it still would not be enough to unite everyone, people will still somehow make it political. Such a sick world we live in.
I was born in 2004. Every time I watch the videos containing 9/11 content. I freeze in silence. Even when I was not there to witness the horrors of that day, I still feel the pain my family and many Americans have endured. We will never forget this day. May God watch over those who died on September 11th, 2001; and may he watch over those who suffered from this tragedy. God Bless America.
I was 10 years old at the time about five blocks from the WTC when it happened. I was with my father outside who was looking at newly built store fronts that he was looking to rent for his computer business. Most people didn't see the impact from the first plane. Hearing major jets isn't uncommon in New York City. We all however, saw the second plane and everything thereafter. To this day, I can still recall it in total detail. Gives me chills just typing this.
I was born in 2001. Obviously I don't remember any of it, but this was the defining political moment of our lives and it defined the world we would grow up in.
I remember being evacuated from school in the 1st grade in NYC. Class had just started but the teacher left the room… she was gone for some time and came back. The kids didn’t really know what was going on. The whole school was usually noisy but that day the halls were dead silent on our way out. I remember seeing smoke fill the sky and going home scared confused but ready to fight..
Thats scary. I was in washington state when it happened. School was released early because the school thought that the whole country was going to get hit.
As a New Zealander, we stand with America as your ally. And will continue to stand with America for democracy, freedom and peace, for a safer world together.
I was in junior high at the time, and I vividly remember watching the news about this incident on TV around noon. I was alone at home, and I was so scared that I cried. Yes, I'm Chinese, and I was in China at the time. I felt it as if it happened to me.
Am sorry are you for real.. he was sitting in a classroom with children [spelling] kite, plane, must ,hit ,stell.. then the two buildings fell.. then another that hadn't been hit fell free fall by [fire] now go read 9.11 in revaluations....

I didn't vote for George W. Bush. In my opinion, he provided leadership and a calming steady hand. He was my President and I'm forever grateful for his resolve
I may not like George Bush but this was a damn good speech. I cannot fathom how he felt during this horrible time when his country just got attacked and now he's got to do something about it. When he was first informed you could see the fear in his eyes and you can see his eyes moving around the room filled with children after learning the country was under attack and thousands are now dead/injured and you have to remain calm to not alarm anyone to this until you make the announcement. I just can't imagine the amount of pressure he must have felt and the level of responsibility this was to take on.
I was 17 years old at the time and the country was a lot more unified and united back then than today in 2024. I was very proud 🥲 to be an American 🇺🇸 back in 2001 when I became a legal adult
I was in 3rd grade, my desk next to the door. I remember the teacher across the hall opened the door and called my teacher and I overheard her say a plane crashing on top of the building I thought it was my school building and then the phone in my class rang and she rang to pick up and kept saying omg omg okay okay bye and her face was scared but maintain and told us to get up because school was going to close and we had a day off. It was like a fire drill everyone was out the building in seconds and then I saw my mom running to pick me up grabbed my hand and we ran and fast walked home and when I walked into the room I saw the TV on with a building and smoke and it hit me that it was that building not my school building. and then bam I'll remember always seeing the other plane hit. Its still so vivid in my thought and I can even dream that morning I can even see me its scary but thats just it ill always remember.
No president following bush could be taken as seriously as he was, Bush was the last president to see the country united as one, right before it was torn apart by hatred
@@coralisIa It's odd looking back and noticing that after Bush the presidency became more of a pop culture thing.

It's all become a joke. No longer a "Let's do better" but now it's "let's fix the last guys mistakes"
Lol, that's simply not true. That's why the Bush administration had to create their own intelligence agency inside the Pentagon since the CIA wasn't telling them what they wanted to hear. @@danielplainview2584
This man deceived and lied to the American people He had prior knowledge of these events, as Susan Lindor said in her book It is the reason for the collapse of the American economy Until now, America and the American people are suffering from economic crises due to wars launched by other countries
for the record the rescue workers were later denied health care coverage. thanks politicians!! this country was dying long before 9/11, 9/11 was just another big cut.
I dont personally like George W. Bush but man do I miss when we had a president that actually talked like a president and had some sense of dignity and authority.
Yeah it's a good speech...that doesn't change the fact he failed us by not protecting us on 9/11. 3000 people died that day and that was his fault. I rather have a President who speaks poorly and protects us than the other way around.
People too young to remember this day, may not realise how big this was. Everyone around the world now expected an imminent attack. Even here in Australia. We lost our sense of innocence and safety. Nowhere felt safe.
I was a sophomore in high school at the time. This was surreal and I never saw life the same again. I remember watching this with tears in my eyes. Classes were canceled the following day.

I was 2 years old eating cereal next to my dad watching the news at 9am. It had to be one of my earliest memories I can still recall. It’s amazing how somethings stick with you even in years of your life you can’t remember at all. But even at the age of two you could feel the severity even if you really had no idea what’s happening.
I will never ever forget this. I dropped down to my knees in front of my TV when I saw this evil attack! Evil will never win! Australia and Australians will always stand with our American cousins! 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸
My mother was working on a cruise line that passed New York before the attacks. She took pictures of the Twin Towers mere weeks before they came down. She still has that picture framed in our home. I was born only two years later, it’s insane that this was the America I came into. We still live in so much paranoia.
At this time I was 18 years old. I was barely getting into politics and was never a fan of Bush. I remember falling into the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories surrounding 9-11 and concentration camps, thanks to Alex Jones/Info Wars. Now when I look back at this, Bush showed character, strength and preparedness that was expected of a president of the strongest nation on earth. Democrats and Republicans had their differences, but ultimately and undeniably united against a common enemy. I miss pre-2016 America.
I was in my 20's when 9/11/01 happened - hard to believe it was almost 23 years ago. I am a New Yorker and watched both Twin Towers fall to the ground with both of my eyes. Forever traumatized from 9/11. Never forget.
I was in the 9th grade when this happened. I was watching the news with my mother before school. I remember my physics teacher being flabbergasted that our country had been attacked by terrorists.
My heart broke that day. I knew no one involved, yet my heart continues to bleed for every person murdered that day and their families. My they rest in the arms of the Lord forever .
I remember watching this at 11. My dad had a single tear. And he said “We are about to kill a lot of people. We might even demolish millions.” And he signed back up in the military the day after. That kind of patriotism doesn’t exist today.
I was 19 years old, when it happened. Got to helped babysitting my older niece. She was 31/2 months old, that day. Her mother, (my older sister.) went to work. Then came back to our house, early. Wondering why she came back early. Then she told us, what happened. They told her and everyone else at the workplace, to go home and be with their loved ones. We turn on the tv, watched the news. It was so surreal. Like was this really happening? Usually see these kind of things, in movies.
9/11 was terrible. However, I will never forget the amazing feeling of fear but having a great sense of unity and strength. Only those who have lived it will ever understand.
I was 20 years old when this happened. I was in class when the first plane hit. A lot of people in America did not like George W Bush. But he said the exactly what needed to be said on that day.
I was 25, but then it was much more shock then actual reality .It took a long time as I matured to see and feel what had happened that day. Life changed that day and it has not been the same since. I never cared for Bush, but I must realize what had landed on his lap in only 8 months into his presidency. Although I can never go back and rewrite that horrible horrible haunting day, I feel Donald Trump would have NEVER let something like that happen. If it did under his watch, Saudi Arabia would have been just a huge land mass of sand. Hate as some do, call it what you will, the man knows how to lead, and is feared by America's enemies. If what we have in office at the present day continues, something to that sort of horrific nature is very possible AGAIN. God Bless America....DJT '24
My brother in humanity, search for the truth to find out who committed this shameful act. We, as Muslims and Christians living in the Middle East, oppose this shameful act because it involves the killing of innocent people. Whoever carried out this work wanted to change the world’s view of Arabs and Muslims. The Arabs paid the biggest bill due to the actions of American politicians and their allies and the accusation of these events by Arabs and Muslims. My advice to you is to read the book by Susan Landor, an American who wrote a book about these events. Behind these events, we the people, whether Americans, Arabs or Africans, are victims of policies. I hope that peace will come between peoples and that injustice and evil will disappear from this dark world
Donald Trump let our soldiers die from Russian bounties in Afghanistan & Iraq unanswered. Indeed he learned that information, and continued to do nothing with it
I was only a year old about to turn 2 when this happened, thankfully I don’t remember that day. One of the victims, Christine Lee Hanson, was close to the same age that I was. The terror and fear she must have felt with her parents when they were on that plane knowing they were going to die. My mom and dad still remember it like yesterday. It’s crazy how all me and my siblings, and basically my whole generation, have known is a post 9/11 world. Nothing was ever the same again and life as we knew it was gone in the blink of an eye. The innocence our America once knew and experienced is long gone. May we never forget 🇺🇸
My mom told me when I was in a abusive group home a low function boy long ago had to move in that group home due to the loss of a fireman dad on 9/11 and the mom could’ve take care of him.
I was an 18-year-old kid when it happened. I loved Bush's response. We were rightfully angry. Unfortunately, I and many others did not realize what this meant and that, moving forward, the larger threat to freedom would not be from the terrorists, but from our own federal government. History always repeats. The response to these events was exactly what the terrorists wanted - less freedom, less autonomy, and constant surveillance by our own leaders. Throughout history, events like this have always been used to stifle freedom and grow the power of a select few. I was just too ignorant and emotional to realize it at the time. The answer to anything is never more control, less freedom, and emotional responses. We learned that the hard way.
@@bradleyboyer9979 Sorry if I'm a bit naive. Fact is that I'm not American. So what kind of response to the terrorist acts do you think would have been more to the point?
My uncle had a business meeting in the World Trade Center that day and woke up with a 104 degree fever and ended up staying home and not going to the meeting. I was 6 back then and I remember watching it on tv…rest in peace to all the lives lost that day
Being a kid at this time and not truly understanding what just happen just seeing the horror on the tv is what I remember
My friend's 11th birthday was 9/11. He moaned at his parents that they were just watching a movie and to let him use the TV for mario kart
I was in 3rd grade. I was on a flight to Orlando when all of this happened, and I still did not understand what was happening.

truly horrific! similar to pearl harbor
Bush will always be the most memorable president to me just because of 9/11.
I know. He had to deal with 9/11 and then Hurricane Katrina in his second term. What an era!
It's his fault I sister
This man deceived and lied to the American people He had prior knowledge of these events, as Susan Lindor said in her book It is the reason for the collapse of the American economy Until now, America and the American people are suffering from economic crises due to wars launched by other countries
And the wars he started.
I was 6 years old when bush gave this speech. I’m 29 years old now. Where has the time gone.
for the record the rescue workers were later denied health care coverage. thanks politicians!! this country was dying long before 9/11, 9/11 was just another big cut.
That's the last time we as a country stood together, loved each other and cried together ❤😢
Unless you count 5/1/11, when Osama Bin Laden was finally terminated.
I dont personally like George W. Bush but man do I miss when we had a president that actually talked like a president and had some sense of dignity and authority.
He was very good at speaking to the public post the attack. Sad we don't have that anymore, that ended in 2016
Same
Mitt Romney would be a great President.
Yeah it's a good speech...that doesn't change the fact he failed us by not protecting us on 9/11. 3000 people died that day and that was his fault.
I rather have a President who speaks poorly and protects us than the other way around.
@@ethanz5756 2008, actually. Obama started the polarization in USA politics.
What a recovery ❤
People too young to remember this day, may not realise how big this was. Everyone around the world now expected an imminent attack. Even here in Australia. We lost our sense of innocence and safety. Nowhere felt safe.
I was a sophomore in high school at the time. This was surreal and I never saw life the same again. I remember watching this with tears in my eyes. Classes were canceled the following day.
God bless USA, from Italy with love
Our American brothers and sisters. Loves from Denmark 🇩🇰

Lots of Kurds support him, is it because he toppled Saddam who was committing a genocide against the native Kurdish minority of North Iraq?
I was 2 years old eating cereal next to my dad watching the news at 9am. It had to be one of my earliest memories I can still recall. It’s amazing how somethings stick with you even in years of your life you can’t remember at all. But even at the age of two you could feel the severity even if you really had no idea what’s happening.
The day the world changed but not for the better 😢
And a year and a half later, he lied to us about Iraq. What a great guy
I remember this vividly. Ya know many people didn't like him, but I look at his presidency fondly.
Which part was fond for you? The illegal war in Iraq that killed a million and destabilised the region?
@@charsobishinot the first illegal war the US started to be honest. But yea, Bush’s “War on Terror” was basically war for oil and cash

I will never ever forget this. I dropped down to my knees in front of my TV when I saw this evil attack! Evil will never win! Australia and Australians will always stand with our American cousins! 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸
Anyone else here September 11th 2024 RIP to all those innocent lives lost and affected still yesrs later and god bless our 1st responders that day❤
I love that ads play before these educational videos.
And where are u today, America ?
“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”
Sun Tzu.
My mother was working on a cruise line that passed New York before the attacks. She took pictures of the Twin Towers mere weeks before they came down. She still has that picture framed in our home. I was born only two years later, it’s insane that this was the America I came into. We still live in so much paranoia.
Ain't that the truth?
Scary that there are some today that still believe these lies.
Let’s hear it - what do you think happened on 9/11 and what proof do you have?
@@Mikek88how much you wanna bet he believes in titanic conspiracy’s?
At this time I was 18 years old. I was barely getting into politics and was never a fan of Bush. I remember falling into the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories surrounding 9-11 and concentration camps, thanks to Alex Jones/Info Wars. Now when I look back at this, Bush showed character, strength and preparedness that was expected of a president of the strongest nation on earth. Democrats and Republicans had their differences, but ultimately and undeniably united against a common enemy. I miss pre-2016 America.
This is some academy award level acting 👏👏
I was 9 years when this tragedy occurred. And here I am now at 32 years old watching this 🥺🥺🥺🥺💔💔
#NEVERFORGET
Walked in on my first day of 8th grade and thought they were watching a action movie smh
His finest moment ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸 say what you want, but if the other guy had been president during 9/11, we’d have been screwed forever.
That was one powerful speech after a horrific event. Rest in peace to all the lives lost on 9/11 🇺🇸
I’m 38. I keep asking myself:
When in the hell am I going to stop living through major historic events?
45...Challenger was the first as child, 9/11 as a young man, and COVID in my middle age. I think I've had enough of interesting times.
I've got shoes older than you. You never stop living through major historic events. It's called life.
I was in my 20's when 9/11/01 happened - hard to believe it was almost 23 years ago. I am a New Yorker and watched both Twin Towers fall to the ground with both of my eyes. Forever traumatized from 9/11. Never forget.
0:10 The way he blinks indicates that he is lying
Gone, never forgotten.
I was in the 9th grade when this happened. I was watching the news with my mother before school. I remember my physics teacher being flabbergasted that our country had been attacked by terrorists.
Wow ur old
The day America was United
My heart broke that day. I knew no one involved, yet my heart continues to bleed for every person murdered that day and their families. My they rest in the arms of the Lord forever .
I was 14 when I watched this live that night. It was like I was in the twilight zone.
I remember watching this at 11. My dad had a single tear. And he said “We are about to kill a lot of people. We might even demolish millions.” And he signed back up in the military the day after. That kind of patriotism doesn’t exist today.
Shame on ABC for cutting the speech short. What a joke.
I was 19 years old, when it happened. Got to helped babysitting my older niece. She was 31/2 months old, that day. Her mother, (my older sister.) went to work. Then came back to our house, early. Wondering why she came back early. Then she told us, what happened. They told her and everyone else at the workplace, to go home and be with their loved ones. We turn on the tv, watched the news. It was so surreal. Like was this really happening? Usually see these kind of things, in movies.
You are responsible Gorgie
That constant blinking is very unsettling
He stuck to the script well
9/11 was terrible. However, I will never forget the amazing feeling of fear but having a great sense of unity and strength. Only those who have lived it will ever understand.
I was 20 years old when this happened. I was in class when the first plane hit.
A lot of people in America did not like George W Bush.
But he said the exactly what needed to be said on that day.
I think most people disliked Bush due to the whole "lie to Americans to drum up support for a bullshit war" and not so much what he said.
Strong heart my President George unbelievable that moment
Something seems off..
wyd
A month prior i enlisted in the marine corps . Found myself in the desert two years later.
that day even north korea send regard to usa. literally everyone was in fear.
Hi George W. Bush!! You have me!
7/12/2024
I was 25, but then it was much more shock then actual reality .It took a long time as I matured to see and feel what had happened that day. Life changed that day and it has not been the same since. I never cared for Bush, but I must realize what had landed on his lap in only 8 months into his presidency. Although I can never go back and rewrite that horrible horrible haunting day, I feel Donald Trump would have NEVER let something like that happen. If it did under his watch, Saudi Arabia would have been just a huge land mass of sand. Hate as some do, call it what you will, the man knows how to lead, and is feared by America's enemies. If what we have in office at the present day continues, something to that sort of horrific nature is very possible AGAIN. God Bless America....DJT '24
Saudi Arabia have no connections, it was al qaeeda
My brother in humanity, search for the truth to find out who committed this shameful act. We, as Muslims and Christians living in the Middle East, oppose this shameful act because it involves the killing of innocent people. Whoever carried out this work wanted to change the world’s view of Arabs and Muslims. The Arabs paid the biggest bill due to the actions of American politicians and their allies and the accusation of these events by Arabs and Muslims. My advice to you is to read the book by Susan Landor, an American who wrote a book about these events. Behind these events, we the people, whether Americans, Arabs or Africans, are victims of policies. I hope that peace will come between peoples and that injustice and evil will disappear from this dark world
Donald Trump would have run away hiding and Pence would have become POTUS.
Didn't Trump brag about how his building was the tallest in Manhattan after the world trade center was destroyed?
Donald Trump let our soldiers die from Russian bounties in Afghanistan & Iraq unanswered. Indeed he learned that information, and continued to do nothing with it
It is very sensitive briefing
Will never forget the fact all the terrorist where from Saudi, yet they targeted Iraq, Afghanistan..
Why this speach is cut???
they cut him quoting Psalm 23
I found the full version. It is very beautiful and touching how the president quoted the words of Psalm 23...
Bush , your a the biggest Liar,
I was only a year old about to turn 2 when this happened, thankfully I don’t remember that day. One of the victims, Christine Lee Hanson, was close to the same age that I was. The terror and fear she must have felt with her parents when they were on that plane knowing they were going to die.
My mom and dad still remember it like yesterday. It’s crazy how all me and my siblings, and basically my whole generation, have known is a post 9/11 world. Nothing was ever the same again and life as we knew it was gone in the blink of an eye. The innocence our America once knew and experienced is long gone.
May we never forget 🇺🇸
Trump would never…
What are you blabbering about?
Never would have happened under trump
My mom told me when I was in a abusive group home a low function boy long ago had to move in that group home due to the loss of a fireman dad on 9/11 and the mom could’ve take care of him.
I was an 18-year-old kid when it happened. I loved Bush's response. We were rightfully angry.
Unfortunately, I and many others did not realize what this meant and that, moving forward, the larger threat to freedom would not be from the terrorists, but from our own federal government.
History always repeats. The response to these events was exactly what the terrorists wanted - less freedom, less autonomy, and constant surveillance by our own leaders.
Throughout history, events like this have always been used to stifle freedom and grow the power of a select few. I was just too ignorant and emotional to realize it at the time.
The answer to anything is never more control, less freedom, and emotional responses. We learned that the hard way.
So what should have been done after the attack? Let everyone enter any plane without any check because that's just more control and less freedom?
@@emperorzurg7258 Do you think I'm referring ONLY to plane boarding procedures?
You ever heard of this thing called the Patriot Act?
@@bradleyboyer9979 Sorry if I'm a bit naive. Fact is that I'm not American. So what kind of response to the terrorist acts do you think would have been more to the point?
Of course there's ads on this.
This broadcast and the event is a defining moment of the millennial generation. We were all in either high school or college.
