This man's father was my neighbor in Queens, NY. for 9 years. He was full of energy and always making light hearted jokes. We used to water each other's house plants when the other one was away. Lovely memories.
I believe this is the first time I've seen one of the victims alive before the attack, just seeing him smile and laugh gives such a sense of personality, so often we see the numbers of who died that we think of them as just numbers to a tragic event, this really hit home that all of those victims were living, breathing, loving human beings. Really tragic! Hope they all found their eternal peace!

I dined several times at the restaurant, Windows of the World”. I’m admittedly coward. I never enjoyed going out on the top. It could be awfully quiet.

The one time I was there for lunch, walking out on a clear day, it was eerily quiet.
Just a psa, when you are in these types of situations do not ever listen to people who tell you to stay put. With the ferry disaster in South Korea like 200 high school students drowned on a slow sinking ferry because they were told to stay put. The only people who survived that were the few who didn’t listen and got off the boat. On 9/11 many people died because they were told not to leave. In school shootings we are told to get in a classroom and hide even if the shooter is far,but that is wrong, whenever you are in these situations don’t follow the rules, leave! My heart hurts for people who die these ways. Hearing all these stories has made me realize to not follow the “procedure” in these life or death situations. Follow your gut and leave however you can.
funical corp I’ve heard some pretty disturbing things about the Korean ferry. South Korea’s leader at the time was a woman. I watched the video of the trapped boys. In the comments it was stated she was involved in Satanic worship or if not Satan some deity that child sacrifice was required. However the actual wreck occurred the captain made an announcement to stay put and left the ship. So did the Co crew and left. The SK gov. strongly rejected help from local US Japan and even Chinese boats. It was rumored some of the kids starved but I’m not sure about that. This particular incident appears suspiciously intentional.
God you people are stupid. The only reason you think the procedures are flawed is because when they are used incorrectly its a big news like 9/11, Grenfell, etc. Procedures followed correctly save lives all the time. Its your choice but your selfish actions can put others at risk too
@OK Boomer there were reports that on the Titanic, they were firing off shots to scare people from just hopping in or swarming the lifeboats. I agree with you though, I personally, I would have rather still just took my chances. Worst case scenario, a gunshot wound is better than drowning.
I say this all the fucking time, why the fuck would I stay inside a classroom were an active shooter is inside the building. This shit makes no since at all! I'm training my kids in suburbia to get out of the school grounds if you here a shooter inside the building. Break a window and GTFO if you're in the ground floor, higher floors try to get downstairs with caution. Fuuuuccckkk these useless "stay put" measures.
I got strange sense of peace watching this. We didn't get to meet the vast majority of the folks who didn't make it that day, and i think that just imagining all those faceless, lost souls dying screaming in fear can be ghoulish. But this guy is like their representative. In the end, I bet they all privately found the same bravery and dignity that is innate in our human nature. To you, sir, and to all the others, I take off my hat.
My grandpa was a a window cleaner at the World Trade Center and it was a blessing he didn’t have to work that day RIP to all who died that horrific day
Blessing? Are you fucked up? So your grandpa wasn't there, that was a blessing, and another guy was there, and he died. So what would you call that? Who gives blessings? God? Fuck, such a moronic shit god who allows people to die in such terrible deaths. Your "blessings" bullshit sounds like "thank you god that you killed the family next door and not mine". What a religious bullshit. I am glad that your grandpa is alive, but it is not a fucking blessing!

Takes him one month to clean all 23,200 windows. 23,200/20 (approx work days in month) = 1,160 windows a day or 145/hr over 2 windows a minute on average. What an honest hard working guy who anyone could respect! God bless that man and his family. He was a true hard working American!
@@afridgetoofar1818 I think he may have been him and maybe the one other guy. He says “takes me one month to clean all the windows”. People like him are what keeps the gears churning in America.
@@afridgetoofar1818 My math is just based on what the gentlemen in the video said. But also I did note that he does have someone on the scaffolding with him. So I think he's probably telling the truth. So maybe one window a minute on average.

I remember the interview with his son. The emotion of him gripped me hard, probably why I recognized him immediately. I wanted so badly for the reporter to say they found news of him in a hospital in New Jersey
Rescue efforts went on for a long time. I remember all the "missing" photos hanging in NYC, people praying their loved one somehow got out and just wasn't found. And then finally it was Recovery..absolutely heartbreaking.
Wow even the reporter was fighting back tears.. I remember all this day like it was yesterday. 5th grade, teachers yelling and running thru the halls. They turned on the classroom TVs for all of us mini-Americans to witness.. heart stopping ❤ 🪦

What a warm genuine person he was. I don’t doubt for a second that he did everything that he could to help others that day. God bless him and his family. I hope that he was able to be laid to rest.
2:36 and this guy literally makes happiness look easily attainable. I can imagine this man was helping others till the exact moment of his untimely death.
Reminiscent of how a woman survived a helicopter crash in April of 1986, only to get killed in a second copter crash just six months later. Both crashes also happened in the NYC area.
That view was probably such a beautiful and special sight in that man’s heart. His life was those windows, and he probably believed he was keeping the building looking shiny and beautiful for the rest of New York and the world to see. He went down with his building, with his view, and with his windows. Almost like a captain going down with his ship. Life and death can be horrifying, but also extremely beautiful. This mans journey certainly was. And based on how his son spoke of him, I’m sure his story left a profound impact on those around him, and in reality that’s what all of us will want when we die. Respect to that man, because when we look back at how amazing those towers were, we can see the sun shining off the windows because of him, he’s in those photos and will forever be a silent part of the history of NYC. Rest in Paradise sir.
There is audio of a 911 caller on the line when one starts to collapse. The horror in his voice as he realises the unthinkable is something I will never forget. Rest in peace.
This man may have been a simple window cleaner... but he got to witness one of the most beautiful views of one of the world's richest city from the highest point! Rest in peace sir.
Holy look how far down that is, can't stop thinking about the 911 jumpers on another note watch the documentary man on wire of the guy who walked a tightrope from one tower to the next....crazy
I remember looking straight down from the observation deck at the WTC and it was a long way down. It gives me chills to think people jumped to their death from there. RIP😪
I can remember going to NYC as a kid & going to the top of the Empire State Bldg. Yes, it was a long way down. And the WTC was taller. Can't imagine jumping. Every yr. when 9/11 comes around, i cry all over again. RIP.
@@sallydaniel1023 i did the same thing, can remember cars looked like ants. I was traumatized from that for a long time. The view down those buildings is something ill never forget
I didn’t know, last week I read about his history and I found out he was from Albania 🇦🇱 from my country. No matter the Nationality but just a new news we heard this days. R.I.P to all who died that day !
Roko Camaj was a true hero in his own right, doing a dangerous job with dedication and pride. The fact that he was working on that fateful day in 2001 is a testament to his commitment
Makes me so angry at this evil that hurt these innocent people. Pure evil. So tragic. These videos are really important to emphasize and understand how important it was for America to fight back.
And yet we pulled out of Afghanistan because the gov has felt the pressure of the people of our country for 20 years. What a big fat shame. So disgusted with the American people at this time. We can blame the politicians all we want but think of how many times we've heard the narrative from the people "pointless endless wars for oil." It's a complete travesty. All the people lost on that day is all in vain now.
The Cruel IRONY, is this one guy was PAID to hang outside of the Twin Towers cleaning windows for years, but ends up dying INSIDE the building where normally it was considered a "safer place" than outside cleaning the 23,200 windows. RIP Roko : (
This man probably never knew that long after he would have retired, 4 and a half million people would again see his story. RIP to all victims of 9/11, we will miss you
@@armedinsurgent347 there was a failed terrorist attack in glasglow Ireland and that was a afghan man. He set himself on fire and was kicked in the balls. Was put out with a hose to face court and go to jail for the rest of his life. No one else was hurt other than those two afghan men in that jeep cherokee.
1:30 I clearly remember this young man. I saw his interview live that afternoon and broke my heart. He remained so calm and yet with voice breaking at times. It's one of the images I remember the most when I think of 9/11. I hope he's doing well.
It’s so hard to believe that it’s been 22 years since the attacks may all the victims rest in peace I knew people who worked in the restaurant on the top floor they died that day so so sad I still cry when I think about them

From Australia, seeing this for the first time ... my condolences goes out to his family and friends. One of too many beautiful lives lost on that day ( 9/11). It hurts me, to see all the thumbs down, that was received, to this. God only knows how his family & friends feel. He had a job that only a hand full of people could do. Remarkable person. REST IN PEACE mate ....
The world wont forget that this was a dirty inside job. The plane hits the top of the towers. But it callopse from the bottem ? 9/11 was a devlish inside job
@@tommybrenk1316 nah I'm sure 2 planes hit the towers and heated steel beams to the point that their structural integrity is nothing and they collapsed under the load above.
Get real, because you aren't! You do not understand the physics involved in what happened, and anyone who tells you that there is no way the buildings collapsed and were instead demolished, they are nuts!
They fell straight down because it was built like and exoskeleton. It had the strong structural parts on the outside and the weaker parts on the inside. When the plane hit the fuel tanks exploded, sort of like a Molotov cocktail. Then the burning heat started to melt the steal on the outside weakening the exoskeleton that kept the building up. Then it couldn’t carry its own weight so then when the steal on the outside collapsed, it took the inside of the building with it. Which is why it fell straight down and not to the side.
One month to clean all 23,200 windows, that means on average Roko and his workers cleaned 1100 windows each day five days of each week. That is dedication and hard work to provide for his family that his son can be very proud of in memory.
Yeah but remember I highly doubt they’re cleaning every window every month. They’re just simply saying that’s how many windows are on the building. The fact is especially on higher levels they wouldn’t really get that dirty that fast. Could be months before they get cleaned.
Ur comment is irrelevant tho bro, it’s not that deep , people like you make this world the way it is with your negativity, this man lost his life in the worse possible way and here you are tryna discredit something just for the sake of being a little fucking know it all faggot .

Dopest Black Dude you're dumb lmao, you would slam into the surrounding buildings and die. Have you ever seen someone slam with a parachute? It's fucking brutal. If that didn't kill you the thousand foot fall might
You would have to be the best in the world and even then you'd probably still die. Plus how many parachutes would they need? Would they just have two thousand people parachuting at once with only hundreds of feet of space between other buildings?
Sir, you are not forgotten. You were proud of your work ( rightfully so), and, you had a remarkably fine son who thinks of you lovingly, which is good. RIP 🙏
It is sad also the people the american army killed in Irak, nobody cried for them, do not be an hypocrite. America has never been attacked by foreign countries, even Pearl Harbor was fake, you knew about it, just wanted an excuse to go to war because England still has power over you financially, Rotschilds, Schiff, Oppenheimer etc. Cheers, do not be pissed off.

I did not know this fact before watching this. I’m heart broken for his family. I was expecting something totally different of an interview. May this brave man rest in eternal peace. ❤️🕊️
“Did he feel safe?” What a ridiculous question from the reporter. He was stuck at the top of a burning building that had just had a plane flown into it. Would YOU feel safe? Clearly you can see he’s upset. Why ask such an inappropriate question?
My lord this man has such a good heart you can tell from just his face and voice. Bless him RIP and his family ❤️❤️🙏🏻 sounds like from my country Croatia and even name...
Its just too painful. I watched those buildings rise when I was a young boy. I would brag about them to my Kentucky cousins, as if I had something to do with it, but I felt connected to them. I loved them.

Break a window and GTFO if you're in the ground floor, higher floors try to get downstairs with caution.
Fuuuuccckkk these useless "stay put" measures.
I got strange sense of peace watching this. We didn't get to meet the vast majority of the folks who didn't make it that day, and i think that just imagining all those faceless, lost souls dying screaming in fear can be ghoulish. But this guy is like their representative. In the end, I bet they all privately found the same bravery and dignity that is innate in our human nature.
To you, sir, and to all the others, I take off my hat.
My grandpa was a a window cleaner at the World Trade Center and it was a blessing he didn’t have to work that day RIP to all who died that horrific day
My grandpa wasn't a window cleaner and was in Scotland at the time of 9/11
Thank God!
Oh my God, Are you serious?
Blessing? Are you fucked up? So your grandpa wasn't there, that was a blessing, and another guy was there, and he died. So what would you call that? Who gives blessings? God? Fuck, such a moronic shit god who allows people to die in such terrible deaths. Your "blessings" bullshit sounds like "thank you god that you killed the family next door and not mine". What a religious bullshit. I am glad that your grandpa is alive, but it is not a fucking blessing!
@@signestralin7214 thousands of people died, thank god??
19 years later this brings me to tears
I know right? How could their own government done this to them. It's unthinkable.
Wilsonampga YOLO just stop. don’t bring politics or theories into this when we’re honoring the dead, especially this wonderful man. it’s just disrespectful let them rest in peace. have a nice day.
@@fabis4164 it's intertwined with politics, whether you like it or not. There's always politics at play behind every crisis. Always. They just don't want to let you know. Don't believe everything they shove into your ears as it is. Use your instinct, use your brain.

Wilsonampga YOLO i know this. i’m not a sheep, that’s the worst thing you can be. but SAVE IT for another time, or another video because it’s extremely disrespectful to bring in politics underneath THIS video. take your views somewhere else just not here
This is my uncle! My grandmother's brother. He was an amazing man and lit up any room with his warm smile and contagious laugh! You are truly missed and we will never ever forget you! "No day shall erase you from the memory of time"
I'm sorry for your loss and he seemed like a very nice, sweet man...its sad about that terrible day 😢😢😢
Sophia Ivezaj my deepest condolences...
ok idk whos lyin now, a guy in the comment section called Tommy Selca also commented that this was his uncle. Are yous related or something or is this just BS trying to get likes? Or is this another case of "small world"?
at least he doesn't have to do it anymore
God bless this window cleaner from all window cleaners from across the Atlantic in England nether forgotten God bless USA xxEngland
damn. its been 20years and we still hear these stories. it never gets easier to learn of these good people.
r.i.p. window cleaner man.
I’m a window washer. Respect bro ✊
Takes him one month to clean all 23,200 windows. 23,200/20 (approx work days in month) = 1,160 windows a day or 145/hr over 2 windows a minute on average.
What an honest hard working guy who anyone could respect! God bless that man and his family. He was a true hard working American!
Uh, he wasn't the only window cleaner. They had several units and a rotation of guys
@@afridgetoofar1818 I think he may have been him and maybe the one other guy. He says “takes me one month to clean all the windows”.
People like him are what keeps the gears churning in America.
@@Kazerone1 Your math is not realistic. 145 windows/hour? That’s one every 30 seconds. B.S.
@@afridgetoofar1818 My math is just based on what the gentlemen in the video said. But also I did note that he does have someone on the scaffolding with him. So I think he's probably telling the truth. So maybe one window a minute on average.
This guy did two windows himself in a little over 1 min...th-cam.com/video/LVJq4PH6a78/w-d-xo.html
He starts around the 40 second mark and finished around 2 mins in.

Still can’t get this out of my head man. Horrible. Minding their own business with nothing to do with these political wars and are killed. And for what. Smh
Yeah
For what? Because humankind is intrinsically evil.
@@K.B.Williams no we aren’t that is stupid. We are just as inclined to evil just as we are too good. Well except psychopaths
@@K.B.Williams we all have different genetics so it is stupid to group
@@ansharora5724 Yes, humankind is evil. Some more than others. If humans weren't intrinsically evil there would be no wars. An extreme sense of pride is an extreme sense of evil that breeds greed. Sure, humans are good too, but no one is good enough to create peace for their own country let alone the world.
I remember the interview with his son. The emotion of him gripped me hard, probably why I recognized him immediately. I wanted so badly for the reporter to say they found news of him in a hospital in New Jersey
Rescue efforts went on for a long time. I remember all the "missing" photos hanging in NYC, people praying their loved one somehow got out and just wasn't found. And then finally it was Recovery..absolutely heartbreaking.
Wow even the reporter was fighting back tears.. I remember all this day like it was yesterday. 5th grade, teachers yelling and running thru the halls. They turned on the classroom TVs for all of us mini-Americans to witness.. heart stopping ❤ 🪦
What a brave and kind man.

The pain in his son's voice. 🙁
Imagine finishing off your shift, going for a coffee and seeing the news.

@@joshuarodgers668 in your opinion it wasn't
@@twistedbliss58 In almost everyone’s opinion tbh
My respect. He was a good man, we will never forget him.
Sadly 9-11 was memory mothballed. And don’t dare mention the ideology responsible for the death and destruction.
A man who helped people see life more clearly. RIP good man.
They tried to rescue him but he refused saying it wasn’t fair to others wow😔
Unfortunately it didn't make a difference. He should have left.
What a bunch of bollocks
David Crespo True but it takes real guts bc in reality, ppl are for themselves and their close ones. Only a few, and i mean FEW, will actually sacrifice themselves
Ryan Pasley - how so? He was trapped on the 105 floor.

This gives me chills watching this. 19 years ago this coming Friday (today is Sept 8th.) The USA changed forever.

I pray this working man soul is resting in Heaven & that his son/family remain strong & carry memories of him in their.hearts & minds always.
Your kind words mean so much! ♡
An everyday hero. Survived one terrorist attack yet continued his duty to fall in another. May god bless his soul and his family
Reminiscent of how a woman survived a helicopter crash in April of 1986, only to get killed in a second copter crash just six months later. Both crashes also happened in the NYC area.
@@davidharrison7014 was she an acquaintance of the Clinton's? First attempt failed so they went with a second attempt.
One less hero who will never be forgotten, good job to the producers of this minidoc
That view was probably such a beautiful and special sight in that man’s heart. His life was those windows, and he probably believed he was keeping the building looking shiny and beautiful for the rest of New York and the world to see. He went down with his building, with his view, and with his windows. Almost like a captain going down with his ship. Life and death can be horrifying, but also extremely beautiful. This mans journey certainly was. And based on how his son spoke of him, I’m sure his story left a profound impact on those around him, and in reality that’s what all of us will want when we die. Respect to that man, because when we look back at how amazing those towers were, we can see the sun shining off the windows because of him, he’s in those photos and will forever be a silent part of the history of NYC. Rest in Paradise sir.
A simple man washing windows, Not a superstar football player or a Hollywood actor or famous singer But an Honorable Man Doing Honest work.
Just a guy cleaning windows.. then.. tragedy. He looks like such a nice guy. RIP to everyone who died on that tragic day. :(
Salute to you sir from a fellow window cleaner, Scotland.
There is audio of a 911 caller on the line when one starts to collapse.
The horror in his voice as he realises the unthinkable is something I will never forget.
Rest in peace.
After 911, I stopped watching horror movies. The visions of people jumping out of windows is something I’ll never forget.
Yeah the man was Kevin Cosgrove on 105th floor of the South Tower
The sad thing about that is that they could’ve escaped through stairwell A but were told to stay put.
@@stellarwind1946 I think that was in the South Tower, though. And Kevin Cosgrove was in the North Tower, no?
To the person who liked my previous comment: Kevin Cosgrove was in the South Tower…learned about it afterwards..
He looked happy and at peace.
He did
This man may have been a simple window cleaner... but he got to witness one of the most beautiful views of one of the world's richest city from the highest point! Rest in peace sir.
Holy look how far down that is, can't stop thinking about the 911 jumpers
on another note watch the documentary man on wire of the guy who walked a tightrope from one tower to the next....crazy
Obvious is high
I remember looking straight down from the observation deck at the WTC and it was a long way down. It gives me chills to think people jumped to their death from there. RIP😪
I can remember going to NYC as a kid & going to the top of the Empire State Bldg. Yes, it was a long way down. And the WTC was taller. Can't imagine jumping. Every yr. when 9/11 comes around, i cry all over again. RIP.
Absolutely 💯🎯🙄😳😳😳😥😭😭😭🥵🥵😭😭😭😭
@@sallydaniel1023 i did the same thing, can remember cars looked like ants. I was traumatized from that for a long time. The view down those buildings is something ill never forget
Incredibly strong son. God bless that boy and his family.
I wonder how american people feel today after 11 sep, covid, Rus Ukr war. I mean they are in hateful mode or not.
I didn’t know, last week I read about his history and I found out he was from Albania 🇦🇱 from my country. No matter the
Nationality but just a new news we heard this days. R.I.P to all who died that day !
Yep he is one of the 3 Albanians who died that day
What a brave man.. so sad for all of them who lost their lives
Imagine the horror of watching the tower collapse knowing someone you love is up there 😔
Roko Camaj was a true hero in his own right, doing a dangerous job with dedication and pride. The fact that he was working on that fateful day in 2001 is a testament to his commitment
It almost feels like he was destined to die there. His spirit celebrates the Towers.
I agree it was his fate and destiny.
Makes me so angry at this evil that hurt these innocent people. Pure evil. So tragic. These videos are really important to emphasize and understand how important it was for America to fight back.
And yet we pulled out of Afghanistan because the gov has felt the pressure of the people of our country for 20 years. What a big fat shame. So disgusted with the American people at this time. We can blame the politicians all we want but think of how many times we've heard the narrative from the people "pointless endless wars for oil." It's a complete travesty. All the people lost on that day is all in vain now.
It is a massacre project carried out by the USA just for oil, to enter Afghanistan, Iraq. But you do not know this.
Thats such a wrong way of thinking. You dont fight violence with more violence!
@@BillyBong I think it was an inside job. The government of the U.S. needed an excuse to invade Afghanistan
@@supermanewillflyaboveyou you fight it by laying down and just taking it up the yazoo - got it
0:15 Hard to believe that was the view of 9-11 jumpers from the north side of the north tower
so sad
The Cruel IRONY, is this one guy was PAID to hang outside of the Twin Towers cleaning windows for years, but ends up dying INSIDE the building where normally it was considered a "safer place" than outside cleaning the 23,200 windows. RIP Roko : (
bravo for reminding us of this hero gentleman. we stand for his family. rest in peace with your kind soul...
This man probably never knew that long after he would have retired, 4 and a half million people would again see his story. RIP to all victims of 9/11, we will miss you
Great insight.
RIP to everyone who died from evil people. Anywhere in the world. This is extremly sad
There have just been a new terrorist attack im Sweden. The perpetrator is an afghan man.
@@arnevajsing7120 why does his nationality matter?
@@armedinsurgent347 there was a failed terrorist attack in glasglow Ireland and that was a afghan man. He set himself on fire and was kicked in the balls. Was put out with a hose to face court and go to jail for the rest of his life. No one else was hurt other than those two afghan men in that jeep cherokee.
@@armedinsurgent347 if you compare terrorist attacks by race. Afghanistan and Middle East culture has done quite a lot.
1:30 I clearly remember this young man. I saw his interview live that afternoon and broke my heart. He remained so calm and yet with voice breaking at times. It's one of the images I remember the most when I think of 9/11. I hope he's doing well.
It’s so hard to believe that it’s been 22 years since the attacks may all the victims rest in peace I knew people who worked in the restaurant on the top floor they died that day so so sad I still cry when I think about them
All I'm going to say is if anyone thinks that scene in the Florida classroom is "normal", and W's deer in the headlights look doesn't reek of guilt, take another Ambien
From Australia, seeing this for the first time ... my condolences goes out to his family and friends. One of too many beautiful lives lost on that day ( 9/11). It hurts me, to see all the thumbs down, that was received, to this. God only knows how his family & friends feel. He had a job that only a hand full of people could do. Remarkable person. REST IN PEACE mate ....
Aussie here too bud
Wake up bush is to blame for 9/11

I remember watching this on TV when it aired and thinking about this guy during the 9/11 events.
Sure ya did....
R.I.P..all the People Ho died to the WTC. ..........THE WORLD DON.T FORGET YOU
The world wont forget that this was a dirty inside job. The plane hits the top of the towers. But it callopse from the bottem ? 9/11 was a devlish inside job
@@tommybrenk1316 nah I'm sure 2 planes hit the towers and heated steel beams to the point that their structural integrity is nothing and they collapsed under the load above.
Get real, because you aren't! You do not understand the physics involved in what happened, and anyone who tells you that there is no way the buildings collapsed and were instead demolished, they are nuts!
They fell straight down because it was built like and exoskeleton. It had the strong structural parts on the outside and the weaker parts on the inside.
When the plane hit the fuel tanks exploded, sort of like a Molotov cocktail. Then the burning heat started to melt the steal on the outside weakening the exoskeleton that kept the building up. Then it couldn’t carry its own weight so then when the steal on the outside collapsed, it took the inside of the building with it. Which is why it fell straight down and not to the side.
@Henk Hartog i hope the world forget your comment
One month to clean all 23,200 windows, that means on average Roko and his workers cleaned 1100 windows each day five days of each week. That is dedication and hard work to provide for his family that his son can be very proud of in memory.
99% of the windows were cleaned by a machine
Yeah but remember I highly doubt they’re cleaning every window every month. They’re just simply saying that’s how many windows are on the building. The fact is especially on higher levels they wouldn’t really get that dirty that fast. Could be months before they get cleaned.
Ur comment is irrelevant tho bro, it’s not that deep , people like you make this world the way it is with your negativity, this man lost his life in the worse possible way and here you are tryna discredit something just for the sake of being a little fucking know it all faggot .

I looked him up afterwards. I was really hoping he survived or turned up found. ;(
I wish there was a few of those window cleaning platforms on the ground floors so we could send it up to save as many as we could have.
Or there should have been emergency parachutes 😢😭

actually false... 100+ floors with a parachute, you'd be straight maybe a broken leg at the most.

Dude you're dumb lmao, you would slam into the surrounding buildings and die. Have you ever seen someone slam with a parachute? It's fucking brutal. If that didn't kill you the thousand foot fall might
You would have to be the best in the world and even then you'd probably still die. Plus how many parachutes would they need? Would they just have two thousand people parachuting at once with only hundreds of feet of space between other buildings?
What a great wonderful man God bless his family and you will see him again as far as that sounds.
Sir, you are not forgotten. You were proud of your work ( rightfully so), and, you had a remarkably fine son who thinks of you lovingly, which is good. RIP 🙏

It is sad also the people the american army killed in Irak, nobody cried for them, do not be an hypocrite. America has never been attacked by foreign countries, even Pearl Harbor was fake, you knew about it, just wanted an excuse to go to war because England still has power over you financially, Rotschilds, Schiff, Oppenheimer etc.
Cheers, do not be pissed off.

Takes my breath away just watching this video of him walking around the top.
Salute
“Did he feel safe?” What a ridiculous question from the reporter. He was stuck at the top of a burning building that had just had a plane flown into it. Would YOU feel safe? Clearly you can see he’s upset. Why ask such an inappropriate question?
You are aware that that interview was before 9/11 right?
Why make such an idiotic comment??
