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.
I thought it was a movie that just came out.

Dang, I was 11 years old when bush gave this speech. I'm 33 years old now. Where has time gone
Time stood still everyday has been September 12
10 years old here
Time is always here
bruh
Whoa, same :)
I know a lot of people did not like GW Bush.
But he said exactly what needed to be said here.
And yet, how much more important than what a man says is what he does.
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.
To be fair, he had a couple months to write and memorize what he was going to say that day
@@joshuamarkusmarkwoodyou should stop smoking and ingesting drugs, they’re not healthy little Joshua
@@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.
" moms and dads .. friends and neighbours " damn that hit hard ..
Bush was so strong during 9/11. He was a true leader.
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
o
Hiroshima & Nagasaki was probably a bit worse than this
@@a.meiwes6774 I agree
Lakers were winning titles at this time
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.
Sad day for America when the blew up there own country
bom dia
2004 too.
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.
What a critical moment in history for our nation!!
You can’t be serious
@@o0oanaboliccamelo0o86 I think you're being sarcastic, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to say the obvious.
False flag operation.
@@youtubeviolatedme7123i think he's talking about Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Pakistan, Vietnam..
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.

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.
Until you learn that he and many other deep Staters intentionally created 911! Bush and so many others are EVIL!
I’m your age and feel the same. Everybody was family for awhile
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.
Sorry this was not about President Trump or Biden, they were not in office, but some wish to keep the divide when it is all a lie!!!
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.
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.
So much class and patriotism
To be honest i belive 9/11 was an inside plan
From the guy who planned it? 😳
@@Qthekat1984Shut up.
This was emotional I was in high school when this happened. I cried during this whole speech...
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?
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.
❤️
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
I was 21 back then and saw the event live on late night news here in Melbourne Australia.
I'm not American but this makes me proud to be one
You're proud of the crimes your country committed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Vietnam, Philippines before 9/11??

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 was 9 years old when this happened. Still to this day I shed tears when I am reminded of this horrible, tragic day.
To be honest i belive 9/11 was an inside plan
This is some academy award level acting 👏👏
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
He knew about 9/11 happening before it happened. He and Cheney had America fooled.
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 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..
I was 5 years old living in North Carolina at the time. We still had to evacuate even in the south!
I was 17 going on 18 years old back then and living in Raleigh Durham, NC
One of the greatest orations in American history.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Imagine being the person who was mostly responsible for writing this
To be honest i belive 9/11 was an inside plan
And i dont like bush because of what he did in iraq
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.
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.
Hello stooge🎉
What a recovery ❤
A crazy moment in time
To be honest i belive 9/11 was an inside plan
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.
15 years old in 2001 , time flies I can’t believe it’s been 22 years
Back then it didn't matter if you were blue or red, we all came together.
No
I was 9 years when this tragedy occurred. And here I am now at 32 years old watching this 🥺🥺🥺🥺💔💔
even as a german born in 2005, whenever i see those videos i freeze. truly a terrifing moment in history. solidarity to our american brothers 🇺🇸🇩🇪

The guy who lied multiple times to invade Iraq was very honest?

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.
im beside to american people which have lose everybody the them familiary member that tragic day,that damn day,i love the american people,infact an tomorrow i would like living there❤and ,i will say a pray for everybody those poor people❤🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
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
He was the same who allowed the slaughter of more than a million iraqis...
even though he was an evil man, i can still agree with this comment
@@coralisIa It's odd looking back and noticing that after Bush the presidency became more of a pop culture thing. Obama was popular among the younger generation and social media, and trump took that and made it into a joke. And now bide. Is trying to reconnect with the people Obama had but is failing. It's all become a joke. No longer a "Let's do better" but now it's "let's fix the last guys mistakes"
Nope, it was a cult when he was in power and a cult when Trump was in power. Think you guys are just evil in general
No I would say Obama was the last one.
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 13 in class in Staten Island (borough across from Manhattan) The window was open and I heard continuous sirens and thought to myself "wow there must be a big fire somewhere" I could have never imagined it was a terrorist attack of this magnitude
Hi George W. Bush!! You have me!
7/12/2024
I first heard about the incident on the radio, on the way to school. I thought it was a joke until I got to school and we watched TV coverage of the attacks.
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
'God bless America 🇺🇸❤
'They couldn't take our foundation of America President George Bush ❤
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?
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.
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 remember watching this with my parents at 12 years old. My mom was so horrified from the events that happened that day, and there was a sad energy in the house. Time has passed so quickly. 😢 RIP mom, i miss you so much!!!
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 didn't vote for George Bush, but after 9/11 he was my President.
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.
Walked in on my first day of 8th grade and thought they were watching a action movie smh
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 10th grade. I remember they sent us home early for the day.
God bless USA, from Italy with love
that day even north korea send regard to usa. literally everyone was in fear.
Of course there's ads on this.
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
Middle school. Still feel 😢
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 🇺🇸
Not that it matters, but I remember him staring at the camera for a few seconds before he started speaking.
No Change
I was in high school that morning. I remember for the first half hour or so, the general consensus was that there was a terrible accident. No one could conceive it was deliberate. That just wasn’t on anyone’s radar. Then the second plane happened on live tv and it changed everything.
I remember the months following that day, how united everyone was. Sad to see what has become of us now. More divided than ever.
Truly could never
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.

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Mr crime
And how would Joe react ?
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?
