    I’ve watched about 4 of these videos. On this one, I cried. I have visited the 9/11 memorial in person, and the tribute center. I cried while I was there. I’m not a New Yorker, and my only connection to those events is as a fellow American. My heart goes out to everyone involved and affected by these terrible events.

    These collected stories bring to us the richness of the authentic, virtually unadulterated accents of New York City's boroughs.

      @@paulettelittle7500, yes, it is. I binged on this series and then had to pull away because it depressed me. However, I do like its highlighting the borough's thick accents. Glad to know there still exist Americans whose speech reflects their immigrant ancestral groups. It is not pleasing to me when everybody tries to sound neutral Midwest or clueless West Coast.

    I didn't watch it. I was in the air. They sent us into a holding pattern over O'Hare airport, waiting to be landed; waiting over 35 mins, and they introduced us to what was happening by warning our pilots that "If anyone doesn't land at the nearest airport, with haste, your aircraft will be shot down by jet fighters."
    I was just waking up. I thought, 'Jeez! What the hell are they talking about? Why don't they say how they REALLY feel?' It sounded pretty rude IMO. Knowing nothing else made it sound kind of rude. (Unfortunately I met a family of someone on the flight they were looking to shoot down.)
    I seriously thought that for the first time in my life, I was dreaming while awake; I thought I was stuck in a sleep-paralysis episode.
    But the worst news hadn't even arrived: I didn't know then that it was about to turn painfully personal for me.

      @emiliaestrada4995 There is a documentary about the undocumented people killed on 9/11, whose families were not eligible for any of the compensation for families of those killed. I don't remember the name of it, but you could try Google. I have always thought about the undocumented or otherwise delivery guys who just happened to be delivering breakfast to employees in the WTC, & were trapped once the planes hit. Awful, & absolutely heartbreaking.

    • @julianrabbit
