I am so glad he didn’t leave the pregnant woman and helped encourage her.
He probably wouldn’t be walking around telling this story if he had, would he.
That was so powerful, i would have cried because he saved 2.
Amen to that ..
The coaching encouragment to do 1 more is what life is all about. Great job under impossible odds..letting go of the ones who did not want to help is survival intelligence
@@restyourheadsoothingrelaxa2729 lol right
I love the fact that he keeps a piece of the sweater, very emotional
HELLO!
KBD Productions! Much respect.
Did she survive 😢😮
The stories from the survivors of 9/11 are so impactful and interesting. Regular people stepping up to heroic acts. It is very inspiring.
So true!!
And everyone helped each other instead of getting iPhones out an putting it online
@@trinaxmx Most people had pagers then so they couldn’t anyway. If we had cell phones like we have now it def would have been recorded
@@strnglhld some people did have cell pones, but they didn't record videos... they were just phones at that point.
Holy s***. My aunt worked for Morgan Stanley, and this was probably her boss. Thankfully my cousin saved the day and kept her home because he was teething.
Morgan Stanley employees had a true hero to save them: Rick Rescorla. He was the safety supervisor and he had basically predicted 9/11 already back in 1993.
He apologized about cutting up the sweater. It wasn’t as though she was going to ever get it back. What an incredible guy! The stories from that day always make me cry. Every one pulled together, every one wanted to help. Stores pulling folks inside off the street as the towers went down, tug boats showing up in force to evacuate the Island.
Did she survive 😢😮 do you you know??? The reception lady with the sweater I guess
@@alexandraanderson3988 one would assume so as he told her later that he cut her sweater up.....
May God bless the innocent souls that died that day and protects America from the evil ones.Amen.
Go ask God when you need some surgery then and dont bother doctors, you fucking hypocrite!
@Dwingles420 Kinda negative huh? Did your god ever say they live for you? You should have kept this comment to your self!
@@kellycaviazel8979 You can't have both? Even science admits the existence of some sort of deity! Stop being hateful, if you had people in these buildings when this happened you would see how disrespectful you are!
@@byknmikerc7153 Science never admitted some sorts of this))))) Science is based on researches, proofs and facts. Theres no proof, neither research. So stop this brainwash comedy.....
@Dwingles420 May God Bless you! He doesn't operate on man's timing and he doesn't think like man.
He couldn’t have know that him sending help to people who need it, was going to lead to their deaths. No one knew how truly terrible the events of that day would turn out to be. I love how he said his coaching skills helped him with encouraging the pregnant woman get down the stairs. What a good man.🇺🇸❤️💙
My Dad is a war vet and was a sapper in demolitions (Royal Engineers) and retired fireman in Britain. That day, he told my mother and younger sister those buildings were going to collapse. I'm guessing a lot of demolitions experts would have figured the towers were coming down. The surprise was how fast it happened. He thought they had a few more hours at least to evacuate. He's said he didn't imagine just how much fuel was on the planes and how hot it would burn. Even half way around the world it was a shock.
Those firefighters knew the possibility. They knew what the situation was- I bet they’d do it again too. NY firefighters are a different breed. That or no one thought there was a possibility that those towers would ever fall & those firefighters thought they would go up and put out that fire and bring people down. No matter what I think they knew what could possibly happen.
Walking down 72 flights of stairs is like walking up 35 flights. Extremely strenuous
It is now 20 years, yet the memories that the people of the towers have, are still so powerful and gut wrenching.
Wow just as he casually called friends and family. I’m certain many others above the impact felt they had time to do the same before evacuating. He’s lucky to have been below the impact zone and to have gotten out considering the south tower was the first building to collapse
You're beautiful Cindy
Wow, so crazy how he experienced the 1993 attack as well😳
Many of the people working in the towers on 9/11 had been there during the 1993 bombing too. It wasn't unusual.
A hero that day saving multiple lives! I hope the lady and her baby are ok x
That baby is now 20 years old
Robert, your whole story was such an encouragement today. I was having a bad day because a stone broke the windshield on my car today while I was taking my wife to the doctor. After hearing your story of bravery & quick thinking it made my problem so small. I know it's kind of late, but I just want to say THANK YOU!!! to you & all the others that gave from their hearts that day. I will never forget you. Your always in our hearts & prayers.
Lmfaooo... It took something this traumatic for u realize that a crack isn't shit to deal with in life 😂 good blessed you then.. because u get to worry about dumb shit 😂😭😭
k3ri4 love you don’t have to be hateful. The only person who sounds dumb is you
Momma Mia he’s not being mean
I know how you feel. Stones break windshields everyday in Saskatchewan.
I'm Australia, many of us will never the hero's of 911
Also your comment is so true, and your message is really nice x
On that day god was the first one to cry and be heartbroken
Brave. Wonder if he kept in touch with that pregnant woman? She should be eternally grateful to him
Wow, what a story. Thank God this man and others survived. I can't imagine the journey to escape these buildings before they fell. RIP to the beautiful lives lost. Will never forget 🇺🇸
Never.
I hope Bob is in a first floor office in his new job, I know I would be.
So many heroes that day.
You are so strong and brave. Thank you for sharing your survival tale with us. Reliving that night mare can't be easy!
Your such a wonderful courageous man... I need to hear this today , my day isn’t so bad now .... blessings to you Sir and thank you
God bless you sir!✝️🦋🤗
Every time I read or listen to an excerpt like this, I get that same sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that I carried around on 9/11. Then comes the sadness for those that were lost, then the anger for those that carried out this horror and finally, I can find my peace again.
‘Handy dandy Swiss Army knife ‘
Brilliant 🤩
ANOTHER HERO.
BLESS HIM.
Amazing story, you saved many, you’ll never know! 🇺🇸💓
I remember when the sadest day and dark days and America was strong and rise like a firebird out of ashes on September 11 /2001 and still going strong and many people passed away in the towers and planes good people and on streets that they didn't not have to die like that and I still have all souls in my heart and in memory always and the evil people are not going to be named are not in my mind and now 18 years later my 12 years old son keeps all good memories of all people lost their lives in September 11/2001 also in his heart and he never met them and he give me a hug because he knows that I am sad on September 11 /2001 every day on darkest day of 9/11/2001
Someone should put that sweater piece in a shadow box for him. Then again he may want to carry it on his person for the rest of his life. I could certainly understand that.
That day is special it will be great today tho wat happened was terrible
I think the people who worked in those buildings spent half their days on the phone with friends and family members.
Lol, it seems like it!
My ex husband was supposed to be transferred to new York, working for morgan Stanley...I remember (we just dated at that time) he traveled to new York, 1 weeks prior the incident ,and said they were wiring the buildings ..which seemed strange . They were all asked to go outside for that ...he didnt know what was happening, but then 2 weeks later ,911 happened ...so I dont know if theres a link here ,but strange indeed ...I'm glad he rejected the opportunity to move otherwise, hed be dead ,knowing how slow he really is, being almost 400 lbs at that time.. rip all who perished ,you will never be forgotten 💗🙏🥺
You married a 400 pound banker. "I ain't saying she's a gold digga" in my Kanye voice
Eightys Baby87 wowwwwwww
They say the USA may have been involved and had dynamite in the basements to bring down the building completely because the plane alone would not have made the entire building come down. Some people heard and felt the blasts from the suspected dynamite in the basement. Wtf!!!
Eightys Baby87 LMAOOO she take my moneyy when im in neeeed
@@SlimeArtPaintArt Maybe there was more than 1 explosion. Like a car bombing in the car park. But they never found any evidence due to the building collapsing and destroying everything.
I know hindsight is 20/20, but I don't think the explosion in 1993 was handled properly. To me, COUNTRIES AWAY, I KNEW the 1993 explosion was a terrorist attack WHEN IT HAPPENED. When 9/11 happened, and I saw it in 2001 on T.V., AS IT WAS HAPPENING, I wondered why the explosion of 1993 was NOT taken SERIOUSLY. I knew it was serious!! It wasn't dealt with effectively. There were so many "signs" that a huge terrorist attack happened in1993 and that some other act of terrorism was going to happen and was on its way. So sad, unbelievable and PREVENTABLE, in my opinion. I believe Government had all the Intelligence on the 1993 bombing and should have known that something else was going to happen when that bomb did not do what it was intended to do!
Missditabomb you need to watch The Looming Tower on Hulu. The CIA knew a lot and said nothing
Listen You Dummy. ..It's The Government that did this.
You'd think
I'd of stayed to the very end helping ppl. I was 18 when it happened I wanted to go to ground Zero and help out, but I had no way of getting there from where I lived in Canada
As a 9 year old at the time, I too felt the helplessness of wanting to help others any way I could. A little difficult not being able to since I was a kid and I also lived in California too. Over the years, I learned of not just to small yet effective deeds Americans did to remain resilient, but of our friends and allies around the world for keeping our spirits up. While I cannot speak as someone who was there at the event, I still thank you for your kind thoughts of wanting to help us; whether you had the chance to or not, it's appreciating going back to know who is like family to us.
I felt the same way! But, I was in Tennessee..
@@kate2create738 What a wonderful, heartfelt comment. 💖
I was 18 to when it happened...also from Canada 🇨🇦 I'll never forget the heartbreak & horror I felt watching it unfold on TV...seems like yesterday..can't believe it was 20 years..my heart always breaks whenever I think of it..I'll never forget how that day felt..I was terrified for years after..those poor innocent people 💔
I do believe a Canadian would help, you are the nicest people.
There's another story on TH-cam of another Morgan Stanley employee who was on the 61st floor
Luckily some employers in 2 World Trade did start evacuating their employees after the North Tower was hit. From the floors above 78 where almost all of the civilian casualties were, 1,400 people managed to get out before the plane hit
2 World Trade center also had one full stairwell still intact after the crash. So floors above the impact zone could use it to escape. Many probably didn't know that in the thick of chaos.
Did she make it?
The fact that some people would refuse 😢😮 help is beyond me Why would they do that in the middle of a crisis 😞😭 that's what I don't understand sure people are different independent not everybody is the same or want help but this was not the time or the moment to be playing or toying around with people's emotions I guess 😢 and refusing help
I have often wondered how many that could have lived stayed as initially instructed. Hopefully 0.
I love how ny ppl say coffee " "cooawffee"
Is the pregnant lady alive?
Anybody find out if she is alive ?
Hotboxbitch unfortunately she died when the wtc 7 collapsed due to Larry Silverstein the owner of the complex brought it down himself
Stephen Carr Do you have a link for that?
@@Swiftie-ef2ip I have a feeling she lived, but if she did die I doubt it was because of WTC 7 collapsing, whatever caused that building to come down.
If he lived she lived.
Anticipating that they would need masks/something to cover his mouth was really clever. He handled himself well given how devastating and frantic the circumstances were.
Today is 9/11/21
That piece of sweater, tho.
did the pregnant woman survive ?
xBrownGirLinTheRingx AWW OMG😭
Real question is who's kid is it?
brt 123 why would that matter??? Fym “real question”
brt 123 what ??
That one yeah....but another pregnant woman from wtc1 according to witnesses was among the ones who jumped..
The fact that he knew what it was right away 😢😮 prompts to him for figuring it out I guess right away 👍▶️ that it was some kind of bombing to do with 93 I guess
2:32 The phones still worked?
ever heard of cell phones?
@@ThePeterDislikeShow Can't say I have
So.. did the pregnant woman make it out alive or not???
That's what I want to know!
Well let’s start here, do we know how many pregnant women died in 9/11 who were employed in the WTC?
That's what I want to know 😢😮 and the other lady the receptionist I guess
Did the pregnant women made it on time?
Listen at timestamp 4:40
@@janice576 That's about the secretary.
@@sherlockhomeless7138 listen when he said he took the secretary sweater from her chair and after the event he said I spoke to her and cut your sweater into peices I hope your not upset..
I had no idea there was a bombing in 93. To be fair i was born that year.
You learn this in high school. At least I did.
@@iadesigns Forget high school, learn things on your own. Never stop learning...ever.
The fact that he knew right away 👍▶️😢 is beyond me tbh 😞
Wait did the other lady the receptionist 😢😮 he was with survive I guess everybody so worried 🙁😫 about the pregnant lady in the comments but I have a feeling she survived 😭 not to much about the receptionist I guess
Did the pregnant woman escape with him?
I wondered the same thing
i am selfish bastard and I wouldn't of stopped for no-one when something happens like that its everyone for them self
Its ok..everyone is different
You can always help though by telling others to do the same, run..sometimes you may know what to do , so if you know tell others as you’re going..
I’d tell everyone to run and gtfo ,
nuttypeanuts2012 I agree everyone is different. It’s a natural human instinct: fight or flight!
nuttypeanuts2012 how sad 😞
So the pregnant woman actually got out??
Time stamp 4 40
He called his mom before he called his wife!?
Yes thats what I would have done too?? Why you are surprised?!
Mazen Alalawi well I’m not married to you. Thank God! So you do you man! Leave and cleave. Leave and cleave!
He obviously didn't want his mom to worry about him.
Velocity Girl a mother will always be “more important”, not to sound rude. Just how it is
@@felipecarvalho4797 As a woman I would also call my mom before my husband. It's just the first most important relationship in your life, no hard feelings yall
Science takes you to the moon; religion crashes you into buildings
There's a big difference between religion and fanaticism.
I remember when science didn't do so well in winter of 1986 when the challenger exploded.
