Trust me. Some footage you'll never get to see, no matter where you look. The FBI tried their best to hide the very grusome details behind every major search engines. I've seen some fubar things about this attack on the DW search engines and dang my curiosity was definitely satisfied, but the footages was definitely NOT for the faint hearted. If you're not a hardened person, who had experienced lost and is jaded by everything the world had thrown at you. Don't do it, they WILL traumatized you. So, don't go on DW to look for them, if you think you won't be able to handle it.
We're from Scotland but my husband was working for a week on a low floor in the first tower hit.The Tannoy told everyone to stay put but someone in the department had been working in the building when it was bombed in 1993 and told everyone to get out fast which they all did.He left everything in the rush,including his jacket containing his wallet.Not knowing New York,he wandered for several hours-he only found out about the second plane hitting and the collapse of both towers later that evening.Obviously he was aware of what had happened but not the details.I was at home in Scotland,thousands of miles away and frantically worried but knew more than him thanks to television..He knew no one and had nowhere to go.Exhausted,thirsty and hungry,with no money,he approached one of the places shown in the video which offered help to people with nothing.He asked for some water and a sandwich but was refused as he wasn't a rescue worker (there was nothing to indicate the supplies were restricted.)He slept in the park that night,no mask and with the air still thick with dust.Next morning he was found by a police officer.My husband was still in shock and by that time really needed to be hospitalised but refused as he believed the hospitals would be full of thousands of injured and didn't want to take up a place.The officer then contacted a member of his own family who came from his home on Staten Island,collected my husband and took him back to the officer's home where he remained for several days until he could get a flight home.That family were angels,taking in a stranger and caring for him.We're still in touch today,visiting each other several times through the years.New York saw the best and worst of people that day.
Wow, what an incredible story. I am so happy that for you and your husband and your family, it turned out well when it didnt for so many. I cant imagine how panicked you must have been for what seemed an eternity. That cop showed his true character that day didnt he? But I imagine he thought nothing of it, that what he did is just what anyone would do. I would like to think that's true, Im afraid it is not. So kuddo's to that officer and his family for making a real difference in a strangers life when it mattered most. Nice that you all keep in touch. You have a forever connection, incredible. Thank you for sharing your story. I imagine there are so many stories we will never hear. And they should be told. I wish you all great things and many happy memories of the life you have after 9-11.
@@stud105 for real. I was in grade school at the time and remember seeing it on tv when I came home. Fast forward to today and it somehow feels more surreal year by year. The scope of it happening is much larger the older you grow it seems, i still cant believe my eyes when I watch it. Its still hard to process that this actually happened.
Thank Trump for that, he split up the Republican Party between the people are the haters and greedy and the ones that what to live a normal life with everyone. I'm a Liz Cheney or an anti-Trump Republican. I'm also from Wyoming, where Republicans like me are the most hated people.
I agree but it's seems only tragedy brings people together like this. I'd never wish to replay this day again. I couldn't sleep for months I kept seeing that second plane hit and the dread in my stomach.i can't even imagine how it was being there.
A Natural disaster occurrence and not a man made one would bring people together. I remember there being a lot of hate towards innocent middle eastern people during 9/11, much like the hate towards Asian people during Covid.
@@JohnJohn-zn8ib I understand they were but they weren't in the way they are now where people were pulling them out no matter what was happening and recording no matter how bad and terrible it is to somebody just to be able to get views and clicks
The part where the man and woman went from screaming at each other to screaming about their pain, to crying and hugging gave me chills. What an incredible moment to witness.
The best coverage of that morning were not from the networks. It was from all the handheld personal camera videos that captured the craziest footage and reactions. And bless them all because they all contributed to preserving history. September 11th has to be the most documented live event in history. Yeah, it’s been 23 years but we CANNOT let time take away from this.
We all have to remember that news organizations cannot be everywhere. It's the same for any emergency services too. Police, fire department and EMS. We should always be willing to come together during a crisis.
Agreed, it's such an important part of the story. Especially the footage from the days following the attacks since that part seems to be rarely highlighted. I really hope this footage gets preserved and made publicly available for a long time to come.
For those of us that saw 9/11 happen on the TV we will never forget what we saw. Seeing camera footages from ordinary people is a untold piece of history that has to be told.
Hiding in the store as the dust cloud arrived must have been terrifying. When the guy said "here comes the shadow of death" my goodness, he captured that moment for thousands of people.
If you remember, after the first plane hit, they told everyone to go back to their office! Don't ever listen to other people. You make your own safety. Get the hell out, but don't use the elevator!
No one knew inside it was a plane... some of the people inside the building that got out said they had no idea it was a plane...cause all the cell service was down.
@@syav4467 my brother in Law worked for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower. He is alive because even though they were told to stay put because their building was safe (at that point the fire was on the North Tower) he had lived through the bombing of 1993…so he got off his desk immediately and took to the stairs, with a few others. He had almost 20 minutes advantage walking down by the time the second plane hit his tower. Lost most of his coworkers that stayed behind listening to the P.A. System, saying they were safe because it was the other building. He had to hold on tight to the railing, as the stairs rocked and buckled after the impact above him. He walked down about 90 floors. He wasn’t really able to go back to work at a satellite office after that. He struggled for years, and after finally writing down his experience about 10 years later, has really never talked about it again.
The guy and girl in red screaming at each other and then hugging was really how it felt. Everyone was so angry but at the same time so moved by everything that happened.
We live in Sydney Australia and my husband was up late, saw the first plane, woke me up, and then we watched in horror as the second plane hit, barely able to comprehend what had happened but immediately realising that the whole world had changed in that instant. We are all instantly connected through technology. I'm still in tears watching this, all these years later. May God rest the souls of those affected, not only on 9/11 but in all these years after from the dust and toxic materials released that day.
@@daveshort6738 Well, he woke me up and said a plane had hit one of the towers. I do however remember watching as the second plane hit and struggling to comprehend it but immediately understanding what I saw was incredibly significant.
Hello Australia. My son is a Firefighter from NH. He went to NYC to assist ( fire fighters from across the country rotated in and out). It was about a week after the towers went down. I happened to call him that day to ask how is day was. He said he was NYC standing on the roof of one of the fire stations near ground zero. Working on cleaning off large amounts of debris. His voice was full of emotion while he talked with me. They were wearing masks... I am very proud of him. Australia has been through so much during the horrible lockdowns. Be well. ❤ 🇺🇸
Every year around this time I watch a lot of videos about 9/11. I have never seen any of this footage. Absolutely incredible. Thank you for providing this footage.
@@Learnwithdmg I know I've watched a ton also and have never seen this Especially the day after footage. Usually when you saw live video of New Yorkers on the street it was to watch their horrified reactions to people jumping. It was nice to see a different side of unity.
The Indian at 19:54 had clearly already been attacked (verbally most likely)... The "hatred" and "distrust" that 9/11 caused, hurt the most. I feel so bad for this man.
This comment is very important, as tragic as this was... it definitely spewed hatred and racism throughout the country... even if they have lived in amaerica for years before this. 😢 its sad how one devastating event cause stem a whole country to hate.. 😢
I was in 5th grade when this happened.. i live in a Mexican town, 98% mexican people live there, I am ashamed to say.. there was a Pakistani family in my town.. the young son they had was my biggest competitor in an ar reading competition.. during 9/11 we watched the news during our 5th grade English class, nobody understood the impact of it, or even big city life, but after.. the family was bullied so badly their family had to move from our small town.. they left abruptly from the harassment and the rumors that spread were that they were terrorists and deserved it.. to this day i wonder what happened to that bright little boy and his family, they didn’t deserve it.. this united our country in such good and horrible ways..
A lot of Indians have the religion Hinduism. What hate can do. India had the third largest number of victims on 9/11. Ahead of the UK and America. An employee of the North Tower was a Muslim and helped people to leave the tower. He was warned to go back into the North Tower and was determined to help more people. He unfortunately died in the collapse. Many eyewitnesses whom he had helped identified him as having “saved their lives”. Some looked shocked when they were told that he was a Muslim and a victim of 9/11.

I m so sorry. I lost my brother Eddie years ago. He was also my friend but not in such a heroic way. I hope u are proud of your brother. ❤. We WILL see them again.
Rip Victor Vargas USAF, NYPD, 9/11 first responder survivor. Passed August 23rd 2022 from the affects from this event. Oral cancer, liver and pancreas cancer killed him 20 something years later. We still lose people from this awful day. Victor I love you my main dude from the Bronx you taught me for sixteen years how to be a stand up girl. You chump. Miss you desperately everyday and I thank God for you every second I had you in my life.
I'd like to add that his stories took me to Manhattan not many years ago when the reconstruction was underway. I visited every place he ever told me about. I respected Victor Vargas like no other. Best guy I ever met.
@32:09 The iron worker & the girl arguing/shouting, then hugging each other in their shared grief and solidarity…. 😢 This scene left me broken and in tears. Beautiful and honest ❤❤❤
Omg to see the people gathering in the streets the next day? To see the raw emotion of what they witnessed, talking, arguing then hugging oh I just broke down. I've never seen footage like this. Everyone coming together. Strangers helping each other, feeding each other, saving lives. Just beautiful to see in the midst of unimaginable destruction around them. God bless them all. It's really inspiring to see. Thank you for sharing this
The arguing then hugging and the man and woman who were screaming at each other. He said he helped move body parts and the woman said so did I. The man said then why are we fighting? They both lowered their voices and began talking to each other. Quickly they were in tears and comforting each other by embracing in a hug.🫂 So beautiful! ❤
I was 32 when this happened. I remember sitting with my children and watching the T.V. for days. I still shed tears every year. May we never forget!!!!!!
Isn’t it even more heart wrenching when you remember how old you were then, which was nothing, and that makes you realise how much time has actually passed; how young those who died actually were, and how they never got to make it to the age that they would have been today. Just breaks my heart. I was going to turn 20 the following month and now I’ll be 43 next month.
@@alphadragonwolfwarrior6373 Never assume anything! I know some parents who teach their kids to think for themselves even at an early age, and I'm so glad they're on this planet with us. If everybody thought the way you do, I know I'd be alone if I try to challenge their thinking. Nevertheless, I won't stop trying.
@@heatherstub I never said I was assuming. I was expressing my personal experiences of this matter. Regardless, topics concerning warfare and nukes are generally taught in schools without political integration (for the most part, in a historical context), whereas this child was speaking in a very obvious politically driven conclusion based upon what his parents exposed him to. If he gave more neutral views on such matters, then it could very well be his own conclusions, but that's not the case here. It is too one-sided and that's the political influence showing through.
Him saying “ the smoke was so thick, you can’t see, you can’t breathe so you just give up” WOW. I wonder how many people actually passed because of that.
Watching all those people run in one direction and at the same time every cop and fireman is headed in the opposite direction TOWARD the fire and smoke sends chills throughout....America has the best law enforcement and first responders in the world....God Bless them ALL!!!!
It was a beautiful day. My son was 1 and was watching Veggie Tales. It was interrupted and we saw the footage.i will never forget all those we lost.Thank God The Lord has kept my NYPD RETIRED DETECTIVE SGT. husband .HE was down there for 13 weeks of 12 hr shits FOR 13 weeks. It was a terrible time and the response of us New Yorkers was incredible. We were all united.I wish we would reunite again. Make it a kinder place again
This is one of the best 9/11 documentaries I have seen. A really fantastic piece of social history and full of the honest, raw emotion that swept through New York over that time. Super sad and poignant and much better than any of the news coverage of the time.
I lived through this and am so grateful to still be here. After 23 years it still feels like yesterday. May all who perished rest in peace. God bless our first responders 🙏
Every September, I'll rewatch 9/11 documentaries but always manage to find ones I've never seen before. Seeing the aftermath of the days that followed the attacks, it's incredibly moving. Especially seeing strangers come together & actually talk it out face to face, to express their anger, sadness, disbelief etc. I miss the world before social media/phones replaced real human interactions.
Two weeks ago I was in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada that had 42 planes land with over 7,000 people with 90 nationalities all together. No one knew what had happened. The people of Newfoundland took strangers into their homes for days. Emotional trip to say the least. A piece of the Trade Centre is on display at the Gander airport.
@@charlottealbanese136I’m reading the books right now about the “ plane people “ and the love and generosity that the people in Gander showed to them. They even made a broadway musical out of the story ❤
I grew up on a farm in Kansas, I was 9 years old. I always find myself coming back to watch these films. Ever since that day, I've felt such a strong love for my neighbors from the East to the West coast. I don't know anyone outside of Kansas really, but there's a special connection in my heart to each state. There is so much tension and divisiveness these days... we can have different opinions, and still love each other. We all have a lot more in common than we think. I'll never give up on the hope of us becoming more united.
Thank you so, so much for those words. You remind me of Pat Metheny who still holds on to hope that we can come back. His music still brings so much joy and hope whenever I listen to it. I love your outlook!
We do have one issue that scares me right now and that is that China has been buying land around our own military bases here in the U.S. we need to have a president that can stop this and make sure nothing is happening on this land. Like tunnels or weapons being stored on that land they have
Since then. We have stopped this from happening again a few times. We need really a strong border so this wouldn’t happen again and a strong president.
Watching now, I'm an Australian watching from Australia and have never been to the USA. I've watched a lot of 9/11 documentaries and videos but this is footage I've never seen before. There's so much raw emotion even still 23 years on. Thank you for putting this together. It's an incredible tribute to that whole series of events 💜
What an intelligent and well-spoken young man. Looks to be around 10-12 years old at the time. I wonder where he is now and what he may be doing ..What career path did he take. Did he marry and does he have a family of his own right now? He's probably about 33-35 years old now. God Bless Him...
I am truly sorry for the people of New York and the amazing people of America had to suffer this tragedy. With lots of love from the United Kingdom. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thank you for your kind words! Just so you know, I was thinking about your country the other day on September 8th. I am a huge fan of the Royal family and still miss QEII so much! I cannot believe it's been 2 years now. Blessings to the UK!
I have never seen two people, in the middle of an argument, identify the underlying cause of the argument, confront it, open up about it, and have an emotional breakthrough all while yelling at eachother. Im both crying, and impressed
If it was nowadays, but probably almost no one inside had an actual camera since the most advanced cellphone at the time were those old flip phones. Everyone below the impact zone got out and survived from both towers. But no recordings came from anyone, and they were in even less danger then those choking in the thick smoke that didn’t make it. So yeah, safe to say none anyways.
there have been some photos released from the inside of people evacuating via the stairs taken by survivors. bc of the lack of technology, some of them had no idea what even happened since they were on the inside (other than a fire broke out above them). they recount the experience being akin to walking down the stairs during a fire drill. one guy explains that he had no idea why the building shook (when the first plane hit), so he called his wife and asked her to turn on the news and tell him what happened to his building.
There was probably surveillance camera footage like CCTV footage inside the towers but I don't think cloud technology per se existed I'm sure it did but it wasn't like it is today all of that footage would have been on the hard drive of the camera or the computer it was hooked up to but no doubt there were cameras in those buildings but the footage along with everything else inside the towers was destroyed that day. Forever lost
So distressing to see the raw emotion of the arguments in the street. I feel their pain and then to see them hug… very raw. I hope they are all stronger today. Thank you for putting this together.
Imagine the firefighters knowing they had such a little chance and of survival, and all the people stuck in the towers knowing they wouldn’t get out.RIP to everyone
Firemen do not expect to die, they did not know the bombs were set in the basement to collapse the towers. Otherwise they would not have gone in. Normally the building would not collapse and no firemen would die.
I did not expect this to be videos I have never seen before, except for that one woman in the store yelling oh my God repeatedly and I think this is the first time I’ve seen her talk afterwards at least I think that was her, because I got distracted by one of my charges here. But more than 99% this is new footage for me. If anyone is skimming comments to see. Yes, this is new.
Every year a few months before September and a few months after September I always binge watch 9/11 videos. I think this was one of the best I've seen because like you said, it has a lot of new content and it showed the days immediately following the disaster. I cried several times during this video.
@@donitawhite8111agree, I do the same- this was documented so many things I’d forgotten about- seeing the communities, the ribbons, clapping and singing supporting the responders and volunteers- New Yorkers are incredibly strong!
It was the smell of burning flesh. Innocent burning flesh i will never forget. God bless all the Innocent angels that died that day and their loved ones left behind to mourn them
It is now going on 23 years and, I can see it all happening as if I’m still at ground zero. I left the area before the 1st tower fell and, I was on Pearl Street, diagonally across the street from 1 Police Plaza. I was in shock and, still not in belief of the 2nd plane flying over our heads into tower 2. Every year, I still go through it like it happened weeks ago. It eases a bit with time but, the memory, the feelings I had that day and, the shock of all the horrible things I saw that day, will NEVER GO AWAY!!! May All WHO Were Lost R.I.P. 🇺🇸
Living through that event is far beyond horrific and traumatic, and it’s not easy, and I don’t know how you do it. Take good care of yourself, as hard as that that may be.
So you actually saw the second plane hit the South Tower?? My God, I cannot imagine witnessing something so horrific! I agree with the previous commenter, please take care of yourself. God bless!
@@crmay72 Thank You and, Blessings to You. It has gotten easier with the years passing and, yes it flew over our heads. It was a lot faster going into that tower than it’s shown on television. The explosion was so loud, that it sounded low and, it was deafening for some of us to hear for a few minutes after we got back to the office. We were all standing 5 blocks south in front of the 2nd tower and, those towers stood 5 city blocks tall. Again, Thank You and, I the time that passes helps and, heals. So, I know that all of us who are still here, will be okay. May GOD BLESS AMERICA🙏🏽🇺🇸👍❣️
Exceptional and rare footage, so much I've never seen. I was visiting New York for fashion week from the 9/9 - 9/13. I witnessed New York's darkest day and some of New York's finest moments. This documentary is a more in-depth continuation of the special afterglow I saw and felt happening. I consider it The 9/11 Movement. Thank you.
The history channel 9/11 documentary 102 minutes that change america was interesting but this documentary not only is first hand but also more in depth and never before seen footage
I was 23…I’m 46 now and this is the only time that I can remember how perfectly beautiful the weather was that day. I’m in Rhode Island so only a few hours away. I was out on maternity leave so I was up early with my newborn and had the news on as the second plane hit. The shock…it’s perfectly clear and sunny out…how? Then reality hit as I watched The Today Show live as it happened. Now my daughter is 23…crazy
The passing of time is what makes me sad the most. Like you, I turned 20 the following month and now I’ll be turning 43 in October, but when I think of all the people that died who were so young (but seemed old in age back then, because I was a teen) and thinking of how they never made it to the age they could have been, if they were alive today really upsets me. Isn’t it heartbreaking that so many were aged younger than we are today…
I’m British and I was 25 and also on maternity leave. It was a beautiful day here in the Uk too and I was sitting in my rocking chair watching the news and feeding my son. The absolute shock and horror of that day, will never leave me. I had been living in the US for three years and had only returned home a few months previously so I could have my baby near family. Every year as the anniversary comes around I look at my son and realise that he will never know this World the way it was was before this happened. 😢
Everry year I do the same, but I keep finding so much good that comes out of all these experiences. I couldn't get through any of this without that. I know someone who made a statement in a meeting we had at work that day, and it was this: "Let's contemplate on these two words: The word "know" and the word "now." The only difference between the two is the letter 'k', because we can't take anything for granted." It brought us closer together in more ways than we ever thought possible.
My best friend's Father was a 1st responder and worked at Ground Zero for months. He is now 80 years old and dying from lung cancer because of the horrible particles that he must have inhaled
It was horrifying. None of us who watched it live will ever forget it. The First Responders continue to perish from the toxic dust they inhaled working at Ground Zero. 😞
Like many others, I too find myself watching 9/11 videos around this time of year. Almost all of this is brand new footage to me. The clip of the man and woman arguing and screaming about all the rage they felt, then hugging and crying. Oh my goodness. That brought the tears. Thank you for putting this together and sharing.
I wish the young people in this country would watch them and realize how it feels to be attracted on our home land. They will never understand until it's to late.
It’s amazing how even after all of these years, you can close your eyes and be right back there that morning. I remember so many small details. Even watching from across the country, all of our country felt the heavy uncertainty, fear and sadness. Before that day I had never even heard of the term “terrorist attack”.. I was 14. Nothing in our world has ever been the same since. The motto, We will never forget, is so true. 🙏💕
I'm from UK England also 14 at the time. I couldn't have put it any better than you have. It's weird and strange that I also remember all the little details of that day. Seeing this unfold on TV at the time was like it's a movie. Coming to realise now how sad and disturbing this event was. Rip to all who died and bless to all those who have been psychologically and physically hurt.
I was 14 too. I was in science class and the teacher put the tv on after the first plane hit. Everyone looked really concerned, then the 2nd plane hit and everyone knew it was a terrorist attack. Most of the adults looked shocked, and some were even crying. I think my mom was crying that day. Everyone was really fearful like you said. I knew it was an extremely horrific day, but didn't quite get how unprecedented and insane it was at the time. A few years later I realized that was one of the worst events in history. Something we'll never forget as a country. Everyone remember where they were when that happened.
I was 5 when this occurred and all I can recall were the adults around me how quickly their demeanors changed, parents began picking us up, parents upset too. I remember being told something terrible happened but couldn’t comprehend it at that age. Every year, as an adult, my heart aches as I watch these videos.. tears well in my eyes before the collapses as I watch now knowing what a tragedy this was in so many ways. Society is entirely different too. Lot to mourn.
I don't want to be selfish and speak of my trauma from 1000 miles away that day but I was 32, my sons 7 & 8. When the 2nd plane hit I rushed to get my kids from school. The Pentagon was struck while I was driving, they were grounding planes, and 1 was still not responding -- crashed in PA. The world was ending. By the time I got them home, the 1st Tower fell. I just wanted us to meet whatever fate together. Till about 5 years ago I had to remind myself that they're men now, they're safe... around tge anniversary. Imagine actually being there 😢.
You remember it at 5 huh? That shows you how dramatic and insane the situation was. It made an impression on you at that age even though you didn't understand it. I was in 8th grade science class and the first plane hit. The teacher put the tv on and the 2nd plane hit shortly after that. Every adult I saw looked completely shocked after that. Many were crying, and it was a very clear terrorist attack after the 2nd plane. Even in 8th grade I didn't take it as seriously as I should have. I knew it was horrific, but didn't quite comprehend how unprecedented and insane the situation was until I was a little older.
I thought I’d seen every 9/11 Documentary. I have never come across this one. Was very well done and a lot of footage I’ve never seen. 23 years later and it still seems like yesterday. 🙏🏻❤️🔥✌🏻
I love this documentary. Not only because it minimized the bad and emphasized the good, but also because it showed us the strong emotions people have at their most vulnerable moments, and the beauty of coming together in spite of differences. We need that so much today. God bless America... please!!!!
Let’s not forget all of the construction workers digging and risking their own lives. My husband was an NYPD DETECTIVE at the time. We are okay physically but the mental and emotional toll will never go away
OMG. 11:00 Camera man goes "did you go in there?!" Fire fighter "yea, i was there." Camera man asks again in disbelief "You are going back in there?!?!" Fire fighter " Yea. it's my job. " He said it so casually and yet deterministically. What a bad ass. what a beautiful soul.
It’s really no different, the difference is arguing with strangers in person vs. arguing with strangers online. Way more toxic when it’s online, impersonal and in no way to read someone tone or body language. Unfortunately it usually take tragedy to really unite people in general. Also when people can’t find a common enemy, overtime things deteriorate and they start pointing the crosshairs at each other. That seems to be the pattern in a nutshell
@@recentlivesI will never forget being in 9th grade at school in class when all of a sudden my teacher started crying and stopped class and turned on our classroom tv to the news channel to watch as it all happened. It was horrifying and scary. Then they let parents come pick up their kids early. We all got even more horrified when we saw the second building get hit.
I live upstate about 70 miles from Ground Zero. The following April I went to visit Ground Zero and all I can remember is the stench. The intense emotion will never go away as I saw the iron cross that had somehow fallen and remained. My only wish is that the love and feeling of unity among everyone in the weeks that followed could have lasted forever.
We will never unite again. The MSM will always push the narrative that all Trump supporters are evil. After Trump is gone it will be the next Republican nominee.
The falling of twin tower was the symbolism of falling of America . It led to senseless wars in middle east countries . Millions of innocent people were killed . Now look after Russia-Ukraine war America has been exposed . Once a powerful country has become a laughing stock . Nobody attacked USA after 2001 but your society itself deteriorated . Whatever sanity was left wokeism killed it .
Holy shit. This is I think the best documentary of 9/11 I’ve ever seen. This really gives the full affect of what it was like that day from survivors/witness standpoints. I was born in 2003, so I didn’t even exist yet, but I will still never forget.
I think about this every day. It shouldn’t take us another disaster of this level to unite the 🇺🇸 or the world.. pandemic should have brought us together, but it created a different reality
When the man & women were screaming and arguing but then began hugging each other it truly broke me into tears especially because u can see the traumas in their eyes especially the man who saw body parts 💔 in the worst of humanity there can also be the best of humanity ❤️☁️
This video reduced me to tears...seeing those two people in the crowd trying to deal with their rage and grief and then they hugged and apologised to one another. It was what they'd witnessed that awful day ...
It’s been 23 years and it still feels like it happened yesterday. Watching anything on 9/11 just makes the memories flood back, and I can’t help but cry. I’m sure I can speak for all Americans when I say this is a day that will forever be engraved in our heads. RIP to everyone we lost in this senseless act of terrorism 🇺🇸
I want to thank all of those who helped in donating the food to the workers trying to find those that may had still been alive and for those that did the clean up🙏🏻🙏🏻
I will never not cry for what was done to us that day. I was in school in Queens and we were all taken the Gymnasium before shipping us home. They wouldn't even let us walk home even if we were walkers. Seeng my home transformed like that broke my heart. It is the main reason I haven't been home since 2005. I joined the military right out of high school and then after I got out I became a PMC in the Middle East. That's when I learned the truth of what happened. I was fighting the wrong people.
…and who are the right people to fight? The people’s want for revenge was taken advantage of by our government at least. I was in Current Events class in school when 9/11 happened and I remember the mainstream media slowly aiming the crosshairs toward Iraq. It started with Osama Bin Laden everyday, then it went to, oh Afghanistan may be hiding him, oh now Iraq may be… oh by the way Iraq might have WMD. Then that’s all the media talked about day and night. I recall being so surprised that the percentage of people approving of the War in Iraq was something crazy like over 80%. It was weird, it’s like everyone forgot who was actually responsible and we’re just out for blood.
We are all Americans, my Polish great grandparents came here in the early 1900's learned English bought a farm in Indiana and then moved to Chicago where i was born and raised. We as Americans should not fight one another no more but embrace one another
To anyone who didn't witness this in person . As a new yorker i urge anyone to find a first responder and just say "thank you ". Being 16 when this happened and playing hooky from school. watching people running for their lives after the 2nd plane just to follow that by a row of fire trucks /cops /ambulances rush toward the chaos still makes me cry to this day . When the first building came down i literally thought we were getting nuked . I pray younger generations never have to witness this kind of event in their life . 23yrs later it still feels fresh in your head and can still recall the smell . Watching small white cloth/shirts being waved out the windows above from people begging to be saved .... everyone was a hero that day god bless our first responders and military who jumped on the first planes to go defend us in some of the most uncertain times in our country's history . God bless anyone who was alive on 9/11 because it scarred all of us 🇺🇸
The trajectory of my life changed that day. I started out as a poor kid joining the army for medical training since i couldnt afford college, sitting on my moms couch watching the news and telling her it was ok, beside herself that it was happening and both her kids in the army. Inside i was thinking that i should have paid more attention in basic training, did i know enough, just terrified in a robot voice telling my mom it was ok
The decency that woman showed in not wanting to film the falling people simply no longer exists in our society. Nowadays it’s all about the shock factor. Society has crumbled mightily since this period.
Our society is completely different now. This is probably the last time I remember genuine unity on a large scale. The United States really began to collapse after this.
I have seen dozens of 911 videos like everyone else. But this one...THIS ONE TOUCHES YOU DEEP. The New Yorkers, ALL FIRST RESPONDERS, it takes you into the hell they witnessed and struggled to process. They dang sure rose to the occasion. ❤
I’m a first responder for a rescue squad near me and was just part of a 9/11 memorial service today in Bucks County Pa. A lot of my co-workers were never even born when This happened. It’s been so long but so grateful that people still want to remember. I remember watching it unfold at home on TV because I had called out of work before the towers were hit. My mother came home home from her work and started freaking out. Then was even more frantic to hear from her sister who lived in the NYC and All the phone line were down for hours. My aunt and her husband were ok. They live near the towers but were out that day.
My memory is of watching TV from just after the 1st plane hit. At that point I thought it was an accident. Then the 2nd plane hit and I knew it was terrorists. I'm in Europe but I felt really frightened. A few days later we had a national 2 minutes silence. I was in our town centre and everybody stopped. Suddenly, a man ran past us, saying America deserved it. I was fuming, as all were. I ignored him. He kept shouting and said he was from Afghanistan. Nobody responded too him. There are times when we don't.
I watch these videos every year. This video is new, and I appreciate it's first hand by average people. I can tell you where I was as each tragic event happened. I'm about an hour from NYC. Thank God our loved ones survived. I remember wondering if I should let my first grader have a couple more hours of innocence or pick her up. I picked her up when the towers collapsed. I wanted us together if there were more attacks. We were so united after 9/11, now we're as divided as ever.
The little boy at 41:13 talking about this horrible and devastating tragedy on our country, I was in tears just listening to this child (and very well spoken and knowledgeable at that) talking about what happened. I'm glad the videographer showed and spoke to this child, it only gives us all a small example of how this not only affected adults, but how it affected our children all around America, and I'm sure with a degree of certainty, around the world, as well. He was a voice to the world and spoke for all of America's children as well. God Bless Everyone and may those who lost their lives that day, in PA as well as the Pentagon and New York, RIP!!!!! And to the families of those who lost someone in this heinous, unnecessary and horrible day: Just know that we remember and will never forget and will always be thought of!!!! And you, the families, will always have my love, support and prayers...always!!!!
I live in Seattle and watched it all from the beginning in absolute shock. It still haunts me, and that was when watching this tragedy unfolding on the news. My heart breaks for all of the people and possible pets to this very day. It always will. I can not even fathom the nightmarish heartache and pain in your beautiful city. I would love to visit one day to pay my respects. I am so very, very sorry 😔💔
Im am 51 years, and i live in north Scandinavia, and that day is glued to my mind and heart forever. Every year on 9/11, i feel that all of us that were born before 2001, come together all over the world, atleast all of us that cherish life, peace and especially love. Evertime i sit and watch these videos, and i see those fireman walk out from the shadows and into the light, my heart jumps and i start crying and thinking about all the first responders that died trying to save as many as possible, those firefighters and police officers walked straight in and up those towers, with hopes of finding and getting people out of the building, i think none of them were afraid even when the first building collapsed, they just kept on going with real spirit of search at rescue. May each and everyone of them rest in Jesus mighty hand in heaven forever and ever❤️🙏❤️ God bless u all!
Powerfull words, you put a lump in my throat. Im amazed at how much the rest of the world was changed by this one day. Thank you for caring so much about people from half way around the world. We need more of that I think.
My heart 🥹 I'm always so moved when people from entirely different countries talk about how that day changed them and how much their sympathetic mourning occupies their thoughts around the time of the anniversaries when they come around. Thank you for your kindness and sympathies for the human beings lost in this senseless tragedy. If we could all come together emotionally, all around the world, and be with one another with love and caring whenever tragedy strikes anyone, anywhere- this world would be a far better place for it. There's far too much tragedy around this planet- and nearly all of it is from human origins, in whole or in part. Our sympathies and love for one another are the antidote to these tragic realities continuing on in the future.
So many years later and I STILL get chills watching these videos!!! All the first responders who never made it back home, all the families that lost loved ones and those who came out JUST in time… my husband was in the first tower in the building basement making a furniture delivery for one of the offices and he said he heard a LOUD BOOM ( first plane) there was a port authority officer who heard it too and told EVERYONE to leave the building. My husband said when he ran out he thought he was having a nightmare… he saw the smoke, blaze, bodies, purses and papers and the ball of fire right above him.. he said he froze for a minute but realized what was going on and he started running.. he got caught in the soot. Didn’t see him until 8 hours later… scary day for us and horrible day for the world!!! May everyone who passed away r.I.p and god bless their families #WEWILLNEVERFORGET #911 to think my husband went back the NEXT day to help with the recovery effort!
It's unreal how every year I find myself back in these videos and each year I see new footage.
Same here.
And as AI gets better, there will be even more!
@@summersky77 AI my behind!
@@StephenLuke ok, it can do that too, but we'd rather not.
Trust me. Some footage you'll never get to see, no matter where you look. The FBI tried their best to hide the very grusome details behind every major search engines. I've seen some fubar things about this attack on the DW search engines and dang my curiosity was definitely satisfied, but the footages was definitely NOT for the faint hearted. If you're not a hardened person, who had experienced lost and is jaded by everything the world had thrown at you. Don't do it, they WILL traumatized you. So, don't go on DW to look for them, if you think you won't be able to handle it.
We're from Scotland but my husband was working for a week on a low floor in the first tower hit.The Tannoy told everyone to stay put but someone in the department had been working in the building when it was bombed in 1993 and told everyone to get out fast which they all did.He left everything in the rush,including his jacket containing his wallet.Not knowing New York,he wandered for several hours-he only found out about the second plane hitting and the collapse of both towers later that evening.Obviously he was aware of what had happened but not the details.I was at home in Scotland,thousands of miles away and frantically worried but knew more than him thanks to television..He knew no one and had nowhere to go.Exhausted,thirsty and hungry,with no money,he approached one of the places shown in the video which offered help to people with nothing.He asked for some water and a sandwich but was refused as he wasn't a rescue worker (there was nothing to indicate the supplies were restricted.)He slept in the park that night,no mask and with the air still thick with dust.Next morning he was found by a police officer.My husband was still in shock and by that time really needed to be hospitalised but refused as he believed the hospitals would be full of thousands of injured and didn't want to take up a place.The officer then contacted a member of his own family who came from his home on Staten Island,collected my husband and took him back to the officer's home where he remained for several days until he could get a flight home.That family were angels,taking in a stranger and caring for him.We're still in touch today,visiting each other several times through the years.New York saw the best and worst of people that day.
That's a beautiful testimony 🙏 😢
His workplace should’ve covered accommodation etc during this crisis
Wow, what an incredible story. I am so happy that for you and your husband and your family, it turned out well when it didnt for so many. I cant imagine how panicked you must have been for what seemed an eternity. That cop showed his true character that day didnt he? But I imagine he thought nothing of it, that what he did is just what anyone would do. I would like to think that's true, Im afraid it is not. So kuddo's to that officer and his family for making a real difference in a strangers life when it mattered most. Nice that you all keep in touch. You have a forever connection, incredible. Thank you for sharing your story. I imagine there are so many stories we will never hear. And they should be told. I wish you all great things and many happy memories of the life you have after 9-11.
What an amazing family to look after your husband. It’s people like that family who are heroes 🦸 ❤
An amazing story. Very traumatic for your husband, but the police officer and their family were angels. 💜
23 years later and this continues to be one of the most surreal things ive ever seen.
The day reality decided to live up to the tagline "Stranger than fiction. "
Surreal is a great word to use. The whole days events were perplexing to say the least.
whats more surreal is nyc today!
@@stud105 for real. I was in grade school at the time and remember seeing it on tv when I came home. Fast forward to today and it somehow feels more surreal year by year. The scope of it happening is much larger the older you grow it seems, i still cant believe my eyes when I watch it. Its still hard to process that this actually happened.
Just said this to my mom. I still can’t believe that this actually happened and jn my lifetime.
Wish we could all come together like this instead of all the hate we have towards each other today
Thank Trump for that, he split up the Republican Party between the people are the haters and greedy and the ones that what to live a normal life with everyone. I'm a Liz Cheney or an anti-Trump Republican. I'm also from Wyoming, where Republicans like me are the most hated people.
With the media telling fake news it's not helping
codyschmidt34219 - Absolutely agree 💯❤️
I agree but it's seems only tragedy brings people together like this. I'd never wish to replay this day again. I couldn't sleep for months I kept seeing that second plane hit and the dread in my stomach.i can't even imagine how it was being there.
A Natural disaster occurrence and not a man made one would bring people together. I remember there being a lot of hate towards innocent middle eastern people during 9/11, much like the hate towards Asian people during Covid.
Mad respect to the lady who said she wouldn't record people jumping, such empathy is hard to come by
I wonder if maybe empathy died a little that day. We just got too hurt...
This is before the world of cell phones and view counts
@Caketime2 no it wasn't, cell phones were around in 1996, people were taking pictures with phones in 1998, I had one.
@@JohnJohn-zn8ib I understand they were but they weren't in the way they are now where people were pulling them out no matter what was happening and recording no matter how bad and terrible it is to somebody just to be able to get views and clicks
@@Caketime2 sure. Still there are tourists around all the time, especially around Manhattan, they would be carrying cameras more than phones.
The part where the man and woman went from screaming at each other to screaming about their pain, to crying and hugging gave me chills. What an incredible moment to witness.
Then later the sight of the candle light vigil in Jersey City too. No words but very moving.
Timestamp?
@@Kingkongphil @32:09
That was so sad and moving 😰😰😰🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
@@yukonofficialmusic Thanks
The best coverage of that morning were not from the networks. It was from all the handheld personal camera videos that captured the craziest footage and reactions. And bless them all because they all contributed to preserving history. September 11th has to be the most documented live event in history. Yeah, it’s been 23 years but we CANNOT let time take away from this.
We all have to remember that news organizations cannot be everywhere. It's the same for any emergency services too. Police, fire department and EMS. We should always be willing to come together during a crisis.
Im 100% sure there are many footages from first plane hit but they are buried deep in someone's basement, attic shelves, vhs tapes covered in dust..
Agreed, it's such an important part of the story. Especially the footage from the days following the attacks since that part seems to be rarely highlighted. I really hope this footage gets preserved and made publicly available for a long time to come.
Kind if like when the news said "safe and effective" for 2 years....
I'll never forget the day our govt in America murdered ppl live and played it as Afghanistan
For those of us that saw 9/11 happen on the TV we will never forget what we saw. Seeing camera footages from ordinary people is a untold piece of history that has to be told.
“I was there, yeah”
“Are you going back?”
“It’s my job”
Powerful.
I do every year, to pay my respects..............doesn't everyone?
Hiding in the store as the dust cloud arrived must have been terrifying. When the guy said "here comes the shadow of death" my goodness, he captured that moment for thousands of people.
Very poignant what he said.
It's 2024...and these footages are still heartbreaking. I can only pray for the innocent people, who lost their lives in this ruthless attack. RIP
Baby they are still dying from breathing that dust in. So so sad. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Yes I heard hundreds if not thousands dieing from smoke first responders god bless life is truly short saying is tru
GAZA is just as heartbreaking, perhaps more so than this because its been 70+ years of Israeli occupation.
Amen! 😢
@@geraldinepetress3766😢😢
If you remember, after the first plane hit, they told everyone to go back to their office! Don't ever listen to other people. You make your own safety. Get the hell out, but don't use the elevator!
No one knew inside it was a plane... some of the people inside the building that got out said they had no idea it was a plane...cause all the cell service was down.
For survival, the single most consistent and best advice is to REMOVE yourself from the situation, immediately, and early.
So don't listen to firemen, safety wardens and first aid officers? Ok cool
@@NoEvidenceForGod When they give bad advice? No, don't listen to them.
@@syav4467 my brother in Law worked for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower. He is alive because even though they were told to stay put because their building was safe (at that point the fire was on the North Tower) he had lived through the bombing of 1993…so he got off his desk immediately and took to the stairs, with a few others. He had almost 20 minutes advantage walking down by the time the second plane hit his tower. Lost most of his coworkers that stayed behind listening to the P.A. System, saying they were safe because it was the other building. He had to hold on tight to the railing, as the stairs rocked and buckled after the impact above him. He walked down about 90 floors. He wasn’t really able to go back to work at a satellite office after that. He struggled for years, and after finally writing down his experience about 10 years later, has really never talked about it again.

@@Sevin7perhaps cos the tik tok kids generation no longer take their jobs seriously. They quit rapidly.
The guy and girl in red screaming at each other and then hugging was really how it felt. Everyone was so angry but at the same time so moved by everything that happened.
Was 25 at the time. This interaction largely captured the initial sediment.
We live in Sydney Australia and my husband was up late, saw the first plane, woke me up, and then we watched in horror as the second plane hit, barely able to comprehend what had happened but immediately realising that the whole world had changed in that instant. We are all instantly connected through technology. I'm still in tears watching this, all these years later. May God rest the souls of those affected, not only on 9/11 but in all these years after from the dust and toxic materials released that day.
Your husband could not have seen the first plane hit. The only footage of that was not released until 12 hours later.
@@daveshort6738 Well, he woke me up and said a plane had hit one of the towers. I do however remember watching as the second plane hit and struggling to comprehend it but immediately understanding what I saw was incredibly significant.
Hello Australia. My son is a Firefighter from NH. He went to NYC to assist ( fire fighters from across the country rotated in and out). It was about a week after the towers went down. I happened to call him that day to ask how is day was. He said he was NYC standing on the roof of one of the fire stations near ground zero. Working on cleaning off large amounts of debris. His voice was full of emotion while he talked with me. They were wearing masks... I am very proud of him. Australia has been through so much during the horrible lockdowns. Be well. ❤ 🇺🇸
You’re right, it was the day the world changed. Nothing has been the same since 😔
@@daveshort6738😂😂 Damn… we know what she meant. Heard, saw, same thing lol
Every year around this time I watch a lot of videos about 9/11. I have never seen any of this footage. Absolutely incredible. Thank you for providing this footage.
@@Learnwithdmg I know I've watched a ton also and have never seen this Especially the day after footage. Usually when you saw live video of New Yorkers on the street it was to watch their horrified reactions to people jumping. It was nice to see a different side of unity.
Same here.
This video was very new for me.. thank you
@@wendyd_darling Yes, I found this cathartic. For years I've remembered the day itself. This showed the real truth of survival and gratitude.

The Indian at 19:54 had clearly already been attacked (verbally most likely)... The "hatred" and "distrust" that 9/11 caused, hurt the most.
I feel so bad for this man.
As a Christian Arab who kept getting treated as a terrorist with Muslim beliefs, I felt this
This comment is very important, as tragic as this was... it definitely spewed hatred and racism throughout the country... even if they have lived in amaerica for years before this. 😢 its sad how one devastating event cause stem a whole country to hate.. 😢
I was in 5th grade when this happened.. i live in a Mexican town, 98% mexican people live there, I am ashamed to say.. there was a Pakistani family in my town.. the young son they had was my biggest competitor in an ar reading competition.. during 9/11 we watched the news during our 5th grade English class, nobody understood the impact of it, or even big city life, but after.. the family was bullied so badly their family had to move from our small town.. they left abruptly from the harassment and the rumors that spread were that they were terrorists and deserved it.. to this day i wonder what happened to that bright little boy and his family, they didn’t deserve it.. this united our country in such good and horrible ways..
A lot of Indians have the religion Hinduism. What hate can do. India had the third largest number of victims on 9/11. Ahead of the UK and America.
An employee of the North Tower was a Muslim and helped people to leave the tower.
He was warned to go back into the North Tower and was determined to help more people. He unfortunately died in the collapse.
Many eyewitnesses whom he had helped identified him as having “saved their lives”. Some looked shocked when they were told that he was a Muslim and a victim of 9/11.

Omg to see the people gathering in the streets the next day? To see the raw emotion of what they witnessed, talking, arguing then hugging oh I just broke down. I've never seen footage like this. Everyone coming together. Strangers helping each other, feeding each other, saving lives. Just beautiful to see in the midst of unimaginable destruction around them. God bless them all. It's really inspiring to see. Thank you for sharing this
That really touched me too.
The arguing then hugging and the man and woman who were screaming at each other. He said he helped move body parts and the woman said so did I. The man said then why are we fighting? They both lowered their voices and began talking to each other. Quickly they were in tears and comforting each other by embracing in a hug.🫂 So beautiful! ❤

Rip to everyone who died can’t believe it’s been 23 years since 9/11
I was 32 when this happened. I remember sitting with my children and watching the T.V. for days. I still shed tears every year. May we never forget!!!!!!
Isn’t it even more heart wrenching when you remember how old you were then, which was nothing, and that makes you realise how much time has actually passed; how young those who died actually were, and how they never got to make it to the age that they would have been today.
Just breaks my heart.
I was going to turn 20 the following month and now I’ll be 43 next month.
Thank you....that little boy was more articulate than most adults!
And so knowledgeable & insightful for his young age.
I would love to know where he is now and what he is doing. Such empathy and intelligence for such a young man.
It's very obvious (at least to me) that his parents told him to say that.
@@alphadragonwolfwarrior6373 Never assume anything! I know some parents who teach their kids to think for themselves even at an early age, and I'm so glad they're on this planet with us. If everybody thought the way you do, I know I'd be alone if I try to challenge their thinking. Nevertheless, I won't stop trying.
@@heatherstub I never said I was assuming. I was expressing my personal experiences of this matter.
Regardless, topics concerning warfare and nukes are generally taught in schools without political integration (for the most part, in a historical context), whereas this child was speaking in a very obvious politically driven conclusion based upon what his parents exposed him to.
If he gave more neutral views on such matters, then it could very well be his own conclusions, but that's not the case here. It is too one-sided and that's the political influence showing through.
Him saying “ the smoke was so thick, you can’t see, you can’t breathe so you just give up” WOW. I wonder how many people actually passed because of that.
Right now thousands probably and more will pass away from that. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
People are actually still dying from long term lung problems the smoke caused
The total number of FD deaths from breathing the air is currently 343. Ties the number of those who died from the collapse.
There is still a free clinic to this day, that a specialist Doctor set up afterwards, for those who suffered lung damage.
@@LynxStarAuto I just saw a video with John Pfeifer, he said it's over 360 now... unbelievable...

It was a beautiful day. My son was 1 and was watching Veggie Tales. It was interrupted and we saw the footage.i will never forget all those we lost.Thank God The Lord has kept my NYPD RETIRED DETECTIVE SGT. husband .HE was down there for 13 weeks of 12 hr shits FOR 13 weeks. It was a terrible time and the response of us New Yorkers was incredible. We were all united.I wish we would reunite again. Make it a kinder place again
This is one of the best 9/11 documentaries I have seen. A really fantastic piece of social history and full of the honest, raw emotion that swept through New York over that time. Super sad and poignant and much better than any of the news coverage of the time.
I lived through this and am so grateful to still be here. After 23 years it still feels like yesterday. May all who perished rest in peace. God bless our first responders 🙏
Still feels like Yesterday...
It was nice to see people helping each other. We need that to come back to America
Every September, I'll rewatch 9/11 documentaries but always manage to find ones I've never seen before. Seeing the aftermath of the days that followed the attacks, it's incredibly moving. Especially seeing strangers come together & actually talk it out face to face, to express their anger, sadness, disbelief etc. I miss the world before social media/phones replaced real human interactions.

Today we would kill each other, its sad.
Two weeks ago I was in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada that had 42 planes land with over 7,000 people with 90 nationalities all together. No one knew what had happened. The people of Newfoundland took strangers into their homes for days. Emotional trip to say the least. A piece of the Trade Centre is on display at the Gander airport.
Proud to be a Newfoundlander

I grew up on a farm in Kansas, I was 9 years old. I always find myself coming back to watch these films. Ever since that day, I've felt such a strong love for my neighbors from the East to the West coast. I don't know anyone outside of Kansas really, but there's a special connection in my heart to each state. There is so much tension and divisiveness these days... we can have different opinions, and still love each other. We all have a lot more in common than we think. I'll never give up on the hope of us becoming more united.

Thank you so, so much for those words. You remind me of Pat Metheny who still holds on to hope that we can come back. His music still brings so much joy and hope whenever I listen to it. I love your outlook!
We do have one issue that scares me right now and that is that China has been buying land around our own military bases here in the U.S. we need to have a president that can stop this and make sure nothing is happening on this land. Like tunnels or weapons being stored on that land they have
Since then. We have stopped this from happening again a few times. We need really a strong border so this wouldn’t happen again and a strong president.
Watching now, I'm an Australian watching from Australia and have never been to the USA. I've watched a lot of 9/11 documentaries and videos but this is footage I've never seen before.

@@MeghanS9883 Ben could never be that erudite.
@@jeepo4059That’s literally what I thought. I wonder if he even knows this documentary exists…
What an intelligent and well-spoken young man. Looks to be around 10-12 years old at the time.
I wonder where he is now and what he may be doing ..What career path did he take. Did he marry and does he have a family of his own right now?
He's probably about 33-35 years old now.
God Bless Him...
I am truly sorry for the people of New York and the amazing people of America had to suffer this tragedy. With lots of love from the United Kingdom. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thank you for your kind words! Just so you know, I was thinking about your country the other day on September 8th. I am a huge fan of the Royal family and still miss QEII so much! I cannot believe it's been 2 years now. Blessings to the UK!
I have never seen two people, in the middle of an argument, identify the underlying cause of the argument, confront it, open up about it, and have an emotional breakthrough all while yelling at eachother. Im both crying, and impressed
It breaks my heart, watching all the people running away and the firemen running towards knowing so many of them wouldn’t make it out
Imagine all the other footage we will never see from inside the towers.
If it was nowadays, but probably almost no one inside had an actual camera since the most advanced cellphone at the time were those old flip phones.
Everyone below the impact zone got out and survived from both towers. But no recordings came from anyone, and they were in even less danger then those choking in the thick smoke that didn’t make it.
So yeah, safe to say none anyways.
@@feartrain1282 yeah 100%
There’s probably a few from the other buildings that were closer and had to see the carnage :/
there have been some photos released from the inside of people evacuating via the stairs taken by survivors. bc of the lack of technology, some of them had no idea what even happened since they were on the inside (other than a fire broke out above them). they recount the experience being akin to walking down the stairs during a fire drill.
one guy explains that he had no idea why the building shook (when the first plane hit), so he called his wife and asked her to turn on the news and tell him what happened to his building.
There was probably surveillance camera footage like CCTV footage inside the towers but I don't think cloud technology per se existed I'm sure it did but it wasn't like it is today all of that footage would have been on the hard drive of the camera or the computer it was hooked up to but no doubt there were cameras in those buildings but the footage along with everything else inside the towers was destroyed that day. Forever lost
So distressing to see the raw emotion of the arguments in the street. I feel their pain and then to see them hug… very raw. I hope they are all stronger today. Thank you for putting this together.
i cried
before all the social media it almost seems dystopian now
Blaming social media for everything LOL
That's what broke me.
The NYFD @11:00 , “Thays my job..” ugh my heart!! I hope he made it out and is doing well.
Seeing people come together after tragedy always makes me weep
Imagine the firefighters knowing they had such a little chance and of survival, and all the people stuck in the towers knowing they wouldn’t get out.RIP to everyone
Firemen do not expect to die, they did not know the bombs were set in the basement to collapse the towers. Otherwise they would not have gone in. Normally the building would not collapse and no firemen would die.
I did not expect this to be videos I have never seen before, except for that one woman in the store yelling oh my God repeatedly and I think this is the first time I’ve seen her talk afterwards at least I think that was her, because I got distracted by one of my charges here.
But more than 99% this is new footage for me. If anyone is skimming comments to see. Yes, this is new.
And I watched all but 20% of it already so far.
Every year a few months before September and a few months after September I always binge watch 9/11 videos. I think this was one of the best I've seen because like you said, it has a lot of new content and it showed the days immediately following the disaster. I cried several times during this video.
@@donitawhite8111agree, I do the same- this was documented so many things I’d forgotten about- seeing the communities, the ribbons, clapping and singing supporting the responders and volunteers- New Yorkers are incredibly strong!
I was 12 years old at the time , living in India... My dad was glued to CNN watching the news , i remember it vividly, surreal
It was the smell of burning flesh. Innocent burning flesh i will never forget. God bless all the Innocent angels that died that day and their loved ones left behind to mourn them
"Why are we arguing?" "I don't know!" Around and around, we go.
difference being people literally hugged it out and today..well y'know
@@thepspman116 yeah...I'd actually hate to see the reactions you'd ser these days. I thunk it'd make one sick.
@@mjmcrae1168I saw the most selfish awful people during the first weeks of covid, it really changed my perspective on humans.
And now a lunatic has divided us more than ever....and he bragged then about owning the tallest building after the towers fell. How disturbing
@@talesfromtheleashexpatdogl1426 And the hero mayor of 9/11 is now one of his crazed sycophants.
It is now going on 23 years and, I can see it all happening as if I’m still at ground zero. I left the area before the 1st tower fell and, I was on Pearl Street, diagonally across the street from 1 Police Plaza. I was in shock and, still not in belief of the 2nd plane flying over our heads into tower 2. Every year, I still go through it like it happened weeks ago. It eases a bit with time but, the memory, the feelings I had that day and, the shock of all the horrible things I saw that day, will NEVER GO AWAY!!! May All WHO Were Lost R.I.P. 🇺🇸
Living through that event is far beyond horrific and traumatic, and it’s not easy, and I don’t know how you do it. Take good care of yourself, as hard as that that may be.
So you actually saw the second plane hit the South Tower?? My God, I cannot imagine witnessing something so horrific! I agree with the previous commenter, please take care of yourself. God bless!
@@ILoveJahangeer Thank You and, Bless You🙏🏽 So Much. I get through it every year. I will be okay. Thank You Again❣️
@@crmay72 Thank You and, Blessings to You. It has gotten easier with the years passing and, yes it flew over our heads. It was a lot faster going into that tower than it’s shown on television. The explosion was so loud, that it sounded low and, it was deafening for some of us to hear for a few minutes after we got back to the office. We were all standing 5 blocks south in front of the 2nd tower and, those towers stood 5 city blocks tall.
Again, Thank You and, I the time that passes helps and, heals. So, I know that all of us who are still here, will be okay. May GOD BLESS AMERICA🙏🏽🇺🇸👍❣️
@@IMSTRAIGHTUP150 ❤️
Exceptional and rare footage, so much I've never seen. I was visiting New York for fashion week from the 9/9 - 9/13. I witnessed New York's darkest day and some of New York's finest moments. This documentary is a more in-depth continuation of the special afterglow I saw and felt happening. I consider it The 9/11 Movement. Thank you.
The history channel 9/11 documentary 102 minutes that change america was interesting but this documentary not only is first hand but also more in depth and never before seen footage
I was 23…I’m 46 now and this is the only time that I can remember how perfectly beautiful the weather was that day. I’m in Rhode Island so only a few hours away. I was out on maternity leave so I was up early with my newborn and had the news on as the second plane hit. The shock…it’s perfectly clear and sunny out…how? Then reality hit as I watched The Today Show live as it happened. Now my daughter is 23…crazy
The passing of time is what makes me sad the most. Like you, I turned 20 the following month and now I’ll be turning 43 in October, but when I think of all the people that died who were so young (but seemed old in age back then, because I was a teen) and thinking of how they never made it to the age they could have been, if they were alive today really upsets me.
Isn’t it heartbreaking that so many were aged younger than we are today…
@@ILoveJahangeerYes!! I know exactly what you mean. I think about that a lot as well. I was 28 when 9/11 happened and will be 52 in November. 😢
@@crmay72 It’s so, so heartbreaking.
I’m British and I was 25 and also on maternity leave. It was a beautiful day here in the Uk too and I was sitting in my rocking chair watching the news and feeding my son. The absolute shock and horror of that day, will never leave me. I had been living in the US for three years and had only returned home a few months previously so I could have my baby near family. Every year as the anniversary comes around I look at my son and realise that he will never know this World the way it was was before this happened. 😢
Every year I go back and watch documentaries on 9-11 and feel broken for everyone who’s died
Everry year I do the same, but I keep finding so much good that comes out of all these experiences. I couldn't get through any of this without that. I know someone who made a statement in a meeting we had at work that day, and it was this:
"Let's contemplate on these two words: The word "know" and the word "now." The only difference between the two is the letter 'k', because we can't take anything for granted."
It brought us closer together in more ways than we ever thought possible.
My best friend's Father was a
1st responder and worked at Ground Zero for months. He is now 80 years old and dying from lung cancer because of the horrible particles that he must have inhaled
So many years later and I still cry every time someone mentions 9/11 or I watch a documentary. I can't even imagine living through that.
Same here!😢💔
September 5, 2024!
I don't that was 20 years ago....
It was horrifying. None of us who watched it live will ever forget it.
The First Responders continue to perish from the toxic dust they inhaled working at Ground Zero. 😞
@@m.h.6499 Absolutely!😱😭
I don't believe you cry every time someone mentions 9/11. I think you're just saying that for dramatic effect.
Like many others, I too find myself watching 9/11 videos around this time of year. Almost all of this is brand new footage to me. The clip of the man and woman arguing and screaming about all the rage they felt, then hugging and crying. Oh my goodness. That brought the tears. Thank you for putting this together and sharing.
It’s sad that in 9/11 our country came together, and now, in 2024 it’s falling apart. It just breaks my heart
I wish the young people in this country would watch them and realize how it feels to be attracted on our home land. They will never understand until it's to late.
It’s amazing how even after all of these years, you can close your eyes and be right back there that morning. I remember so many small details. Even watching from across the country, all of our country felt the heavy uncertainty, fear and sadness. Before that day I had never even heard of the term “terrorist attack”.. I was 14. Nothing in our world has ever been the same since.
The motto, We will never forget, is so true. 🙏💕
I'm from UK England also 14 at the time. I couldn't have put it any better than you have. It's weird and strange that I also remember all the little details of that day. Seeing this unfold on TV at the time was like it's a movie.
Coming to realise now how sad and disturbing this event was. Rip to all who died and bless to all those who have been psychologically and physically hurt.
I was 14 too. I was in science class and the teacher put the tv on after the first plane hit. Everyone looked really concerned, then the 2nd plane hit and everyone knew it was a terrorist attack. Most of the adults looked shocked, and some were even crying. I think my mom was crying that day. Everyone was really fearful like you said. I knew it was an extremely horrific day, but didn't quite get how unprecedented and insane it was at the time. A few years later I realized that was one of the worst events in history. Something we'll never forget as a country. Everyone remember where they were when that happened.
I was 5 when this occurred and all I can recall were the adults around me how quickly their demeanors changed, parents began picking us up, parents upset too. I remember being told something terrible happened but couldn’t comprehend it at that age. Every year, as an adult, my heart aches as I watch these videos.. tears well in my eyes before the collapses as I watch now knowing what a tragedy this was in so many ways. Society is entirely different too. Lot to mourn.
I was 40 when. this happened. Its like yesterday seriously
I don't want to be selfish and speak of my trauma from 1000 miles away that day but I was 32, my sons 7 & 8. When the 2nd plane hit I rushed to get my kids from school. The Pentagon was struck while I was driving, they were grounding planes, and 1 was still not responding -- crashed in PA. The world was ending.
By the time I got them home, the 1st Tower fell. I just wanted us to meet whatever fate together.
Till about 5 years ago I had to remind myself that they're men now, they're safe... around tge anniversary. Imagine actually being there 😢.
I was 6, living in curaçao. I still remember the news footage of a lady jumping
@trickyfocus me too. With a new born. Scary as hell.
You remember it at 5 huh? That shows you how dramatic and insane the situation was. It made an impression on you at that age even though you didn't understand it. I was in 8th grade science class and the first plane hit. The teacher put the tv on and the 2nd plane hit shortly after that. Every adult I saw looked completely shocked after that. Many were crying, and it was a very clear terrorist attack after the 2nd plane. Even in 8th grade I didn't take it as seriously as I should have. I knew it was horrific, but didn't quite comprehend how unprecedented and insane the situation was until I was a little older.
Shocked. Speechless. Impressed. Frightened. That's what I call footage , thank you. 👍🏼
I thought I’d seen every 9/11 Documentary. I have never come across this one. Was very well done and a lot of footage I’ve never seen. 23 years later and it still seems like yesterday. 🙏🏻❤️🔥✌🏻
Thank you for this raw footage. Touched my heart to see New Yorkers make up after having heated conversation about what happened. 😢❤
I love this documentary. Not only because it minimized the bad and emphasized the good, but also because it showed us the strong emotions people have at their most vulnerable moments, and the beauty of coming together in spite of differences. We need that so much today. God bless America... please!!!!
I have not forgotten and I will not forget
Just to see how much people actually cared about each other back then makes me feel warm inside
Let’s not forget all of the construction workers digging and risking their own lives. My husband was an NYPD DETECTIVE at the time. We are okay physically but the mental and emotional toll will never go away
OMG. 11:00 Camera man goes "did you go in there?!" Fire fighter "yea, i was there." Camera man asks again in disbelief "You are going back in there?!?!" Fire fighter " Yea. it's my job. " He said it so casually and yet deterministically. What a bad ass. what a beautiful soul.
We argue and then we hug! Where are we going today?
It’s really no different, the difference is arguing with strangers in person vs. arguing with strangers online. Way more toxic when it’s online, impersonal and in no way to read someone tone or body language.
Unfortunately it usually take tragedy to really unite people in general. Also when people can’t find a common enemy, overtime things deteriorate and they start pointing the crosshairs at each other.
That seems to be the pattern in a nutshell
The people who breathed in all that toxic dust and subsequently died from cancers etc only add to the tragedy of that awful day .
I was 23 on 9/11. It’s hard to believe this was half my lifetime ago because it feels like yesterday.
I was 7 months old. I'm 23 now, and I can't even begin to comprehend the horror of that day.
@@recentlivesI will never forget being in 9th grade at school in class when all of a sudden my teacher started crying and stopped class and turned on our classroom tv to the news channel to watch as it all happened. It was horrifying and scary. Then they let parents come pick up their kids early. We all got even more horrified when we saw the second building get hit.
I was 17😢
I live upstate about 70 miles from Ground Zero. The following April I went to visit Ground Zero and all I can remember is the stench. The intense emotion will never go away as I saw the iron cross that had somehow fallen and remained. My only wish is that the love and feeling of unity among everyone in the weeks that followed could have lasted forever.
I haven't forgotten. I don't think anything but dying will take the memory away.
33:18 I really wish we all could come together the same way today as we all did back then. America feels so divided today 😢
We will never unite again. The MSM will always push the narrative that all Trump supporters are evil. After Trump is gone it will be the next Republican nominee.
The falling of twin tower was the symbolism of falling of America . It led to senseless wars in middle east countries . Millions of innocent people were killed . Now look after Russia-Ukraine war America has been exposed . Once a powerful country has become a laughing stock . Nobody attacked USA after 2001 but your society itself deteriorated . Whatever sanity was left wokeism killed it .
Holy shit. This is I think the best documentary of 9/11 I’ve ever seen. This really gives the full affect of what it was like that day from survivors/witness standpoints.
I was born in 2003, so I didn’t even exist yet, but I will still never forget.
This footage I've never seen until today. Seeing people arguing, crying and hugging. Everyone helping everyone.
This is how people used to come together.. we need to get back to being one.
I think about this every day. It shouldn’t take us another disaster of this level to unite the 🇺🇸 or the world.. pandemic should have brought us together, but it created a different reality
When the man & women were screaming and arguing but then began hugging each other it truly broke me into tears especially because u can see the traumas in their eyes especially the man who saw body parts 💔 in the worst of humanity there can also be the best of humanity ❤️☁️
Time stamp?. I am at work.
This video reduced me to tears...seeing those two people in the crowd trying to deal with their rage and grief and then they hugged and apologised to one another. It was what they'd witnessed that awful day ...
It’s been 23 years and it still feels like it happened yesterday. Watching anything on 9/11 just makes the memories flood back, and I can’t help but cry. I’m sure I can speak for all Americans when I say this is a day that will forever be engraved in our heads. RIP to everyone we lost in this senseless act of terrorism 🇺🇸
Terrorism’s sadly never stopped, it just changed its ways.
I want to thank all of those who helped in donating the food to the workers trying to find those that may had still been alive and for those that did the clean up🙏🏻🙏🏻
Congratulations to that young boys parents! Such a young boy whom spoke so perfectly! May we raise our kids this way! 🇺🇸
I will never not cry for what was done to us that day. I was in school in Queens and we were all taken the Gymnasium before shipping us home. They wouldn't even let us walk home even if we were walkers. Seeng my home transformed like that broke my heart. It is the main reason I haven't been home since 2005. I joined the military right out of high school and then after I got out I became a PMC in the Middle East.
That's when I learned the truth of what happened. I was fighting the wrong people.
…and who are the right people to fight? The people’s want for revenge was taken advantage of by our government at least. I was in Current Events class in school when 9/11 happened and I remember the mainstream media slowly aiming the crosshairs toward Iraq.
It started with Osama Bin Laden everyday, then it went to, oh Afghanistan may be hiding him, oh now Iraq may be… oh by the way Iraq might have WMD. Then that’s all the media talked about day and night. I recall being so surprised that the percentage of people approving of the War in Iraq was something crazy like over 80%. It was weird, it’s like everyone forgot who was actually responsible and we’re just out for blood.
Can you elaborate?
I wish more people were aware.
We are all Americans, my Polish great grandparents came here in the early 1900's learned English bought a farm in Indiana and then moved to Chicago where i was born and raised. We as Americans should not fight one another no more but embrace one another
This is an amazing documentary! I thought I had seen it all going down the 9/11 rabbit hole but this one makes you feel something
To anyone who didn't witness this in person . As a new yorker i urge anyone to find a first responder and just say "thank you ". Being 16 when this happened and playing hooky from school. watching people running for their lives after the 2nd plane just to follow that by a row of fire trucks /cops /ambulances rush toward the chaos still makes me cry to this day . When the first building came down i literally thought we were getting nuked . I pray younger generations never have to witness this kind of event in their life . 23yrs later it still feels fresh in your head and can still recall the smell . Watching small white cloth/shirts being waved out the windows above from people begging to be saved .... everyone was a hero that day god bless our first responders and military who jumped on the first planes to go defend us in some of the most uncertain times in our country's history . God bless anyone who was alive on 9/11 because it scarred all of us 🇺🇸
The trajectory of my life changed that day. I started out as a poor kid joining the army for medical training since i couldnt afford college, sitting on my moms couch watching the news and telling her it was ok, beside herself that it was happening and both her kids in the army. Inside i was thinking that i should have paid more attention in basic training, did i know enough, just terrified in a robot voice telling my mom it was ok
What great perspectives on a horrible time for NYC & the nation. Thank you for capturing these raw feelings & for sharing here.
The decency that woman showed in not wanting to film the falling people simply no longer exists in our society. Nowadays it’s all about the shock factor. Society has crumbled mightily since this period.
Our society is completely different now. This is probably the last time I remember genuine unity on a large scale. The United States really began to collapse after this.
I have seen dozens of 911 videos like everyone else. But this one...THIS ONE TOUCHES YOU DEEP. The New Yorkers, ALL FIRST RESPONDERS, it takes you into the hell they witnessed and struggled to process. They dang sure rose to the occasion. ❤
And each year, I cry my eyes out! What a smart young man he is, so very well read.
I’m a first responder for a rescue squad near me and was just part of a 9/11 memorial service today in Bucks County Pa. A lot of my co-workers were never even born when This happened. It’s been so long but so grateful that people still want to remember. I remember watching it unfold at home on TV because I had called out of work before the towers were hit. My mother came home home from her work and started freaking out. Then was even more frantic to hear from her sister who lived in the NYC and All the phone line were down for hours. My aunt and her husband were ok. They live near the towers but were out that day.
My memory is of watching TV from just after the 1st plane hit. At that point I thought it was an accident. Then the 2nd plane hit and I knew it was terrorists. I'm in Europe but I felt really frightened.
A few days later we had a national 2 minutes silence. I was in our town centre and everybody stopped. Suddenly, a man ran past us, saying America deserved it. I was fuming, as all were. I ignored him. He kept shouting and said he was from Afghanistan. Nobody responded too him. There are times when we don't.
@@LisaFerguson-lw8ilexactly a terrorist attack when the second plane impacted the South Tower 😭😭😭
About 1/4th of the population has passed away since and about 1/4th of the current population did not experience 9/11.
@pigramgregory2 it was horrifying, the pentagon and PA. I'm remember thinking that it's not gonna end.
I watch these videos every year. This video is new, and I appreciate it's first hand by average people. I can tell you where I was as each tragic event happened. I'm about an hour from NYC. Thank God our loved ones survived. I remember wondering if I should let my first grader have a couple more hours of innocence or pick her up. I picked her up when the towers collapsed. I wanted us together if there were more attacks. We were so united after 9/11, now we're as divided as ever.
I don’t know anyone who can’t watch this and not cry multiple times. 🙏🏼😢
The little boy at 41:13 talking about this horrible and devastating tragedy on our country, I was in tears just listening to this child (and very well spoken and knowledgeable at that) talking about what happened. I'm glad the videographer showed and spoke to this child, it only gives us all a small example of how this not only affected adults, but how it affected our children all around America, and I'm sure with a degree of certainty, around the world, as well. He was a voice to the world and spoke for all of America's children as well. God Bless Everyone and may those who lost their lives that day, in PA as well as the Pentagon and New York, RIP!!!!! And to the families of those who lost someone in this heinous, unnecessary and horrible day: Just know that we remember and will never forget and will always be thought of!!!! And you, the families, will always have my love, support and prayers...always!!!!
It's still very distressing to watch, especially the people waving from the windows.
I live in Seattle and watched it all from the beginning in absolute shock.
It still haunts me, and that was when watching this tragedy unfolding on the news.
My heart breaks for all of the people and possible pets to this very day. It always will.
I can not even fathom the nightmarish heartache and pain in your beautiful city.
I would love to visit one day to pay my respects.
I am so very, very sorry 😔💔
Im am 51 years, and i live in north Scandinavia, and that day is glued to my mind and heart forever.
Every year on 9/11, i feel that all of us that were born before 2001, come together all over the world, atleast all of us that cherish life, peace and especially love.
Evertime i sit and watch these videos, and i see those fireman walk out from the shadows and into the light, my heart jumps and i start crying and thinking about all the first responders that died trying to save as many as possible, those firefighters and police officers walked straight in and up those towers, with hopes of finding and getting people out of the building, i think none of them were afraid even when the first building collapsed, they just kept on going with real spirit of search at rescue.
May each and everyone of them rest in Jesus mighty hand in heaven forever and ever❤️🙏❤️
God bless u all!
I am sure there was some fear in some of them. Bravery is doing incredible deeds knowing that you may die.
Powerfull words, you put a lump in my throat. Im amazed at how much the rest of the world was changed by this one day. Thank you for caring so much about people from half way around the world. We need more of that I think.
My heart 🥹
I'm always so moved when people from entirely different countries talk about how that day changed them and how much their sympathetic mourning occupies their thoughts around the time of the anniversaries when they come around.
Thank you for your kindness and sympathies for the human beings lost in this senseless tragedy.
If we could all come together emotionally, all around the world, and be with one another with love and caring whenever tragedy strikes anyone, anywhere- this world would be a far better place for it.
There's far too much tragedy around this planet- and nearly all of it is from human origins, in whole or in part.
Our sympathies and love for one another are the antidote to these tragic realities continuing on in the future.
Well said, friend. Amen.
I‘ve watched almost every 911 video on TH-cam. Such a sad tragedy 😢RIP for those who died on this day
The little boy is a special kid. Very smart and old soul God bless him
So many years later and I STILL get chills watching these videos!!! All the first responders who never made it back home, all the families that lost loved ones and those who came out JUST in time… my husband was in the first tower in the building basement making a furniture delivery for one of the offices and he said he heard a LOUD BOOM ( first plane) there was a port authority officer who heard it too and told EVERYONE to leave the building. My husband said when he ran out he thought he was having a nightmare… he saw the smoke, blaze, bodies, purses and papers and the ball of fire right above him.. he said he froze for a minute but realized what was going on and he started running.. he got caught in the soot. Didn’t see him until 8 hours later… scary day for us and horrible day for the world!!! May everyone who passed away r.I.p and god bless their families #WEWILLNEVERFORGET #911 to think my husband went back the NEXT day to help with the recovery effort!
