On the 21st anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we're going inside the museum that chronicles the lives lost and the heroes that emerged on that significant day.
I went to this museum in 2018, there is a dark, silent room where you can listen to clips of people marking their last phone calls to loved ones. It is absolutely heartbreaking
I went there in 2016. Was only 4 when the attacks occured. I had never heard a silence so deafening until I entered that room with the audio. It was literally like someone was grabbing my soul and holding it hostage. Easily the scariest, realest moment of my entire 26 years. You could feel death in that room. I got back to the hotel and couldn't sleep. "Why was it this person and not me?" playing over and over in my head. It should be required for citizenship to go in there, I think.
@@ConanObrien22 I don’t know. But it’s on the first floor I believe. It’s almost shaped like the letter C. It’s dark. Pretty small. You press a button to hear the voicemails if I remember correctly. Absolutely soul wrenching.
@@Spookehh hmm interesting. Was it the same voicemail from a person who called his wife to say goodbye when he found out that the plane hijacked? I've never been there I'm not from US, I was 9 when this happened.
I was a high school senior at the time. Our school, as well as many others, went in lock down as we watched it on the news. Every teacher pulled the tvs out so the students can watch. I was an office aid and watched a girl come screaming down the hall towards the main doors. Her father worked at the Pentagon. Her cries were haunting as she pounded on the doors to be let out. This is something we had never forgotten.
I will never forget. I was 19 and came home from school in the afternoon and turned on the tv. Here in Sweden we are about six hours before the US so when I looked at the news it was morning in new york. And I heard about "the accident", "a small plane hit the world trade center" and I watch the images,horrified but perplexed. I remember thinking "but how can anyone be so clumpsy so they fly in to a building?" and then,bang,the second plane hit,on live television. And I went from "thats strange" to "did the third world war just start?" and began to cry. I was on the outher side of the world and still it impacted me deeply. I cant even begin to imagine the horror for thouse who were there and thouse who lost loved ones.Best wishes from Sweden.
@@benszone1879 Thank you,and you are so right. I was offcourse not in any real danger at all,but as a child growing up in europe during the 80ies my mind did not goe to "terrorism" it went to "third world war/nuclear war". Nobody had attacked the US on its soil since Pearl Harbor and for me,as a teenager I wasnt aware of the terrorist threath until that day. Never heard of Usama bin Laden or al-Qaida. And ISIS didnt even exist.The world really changed that day for sure. The reason for my tears was the thought of the people in the tower above the planes. I thought "they wont get out". And "they are dying right now". So I will always remember that day,as - Im sure -many people around the world who watched it like me. But I say it again,I couldnt even begin to imagen the suffering for thoose people directly affected.
I was in my doctors waiting room and it came on tv here in the UK. The shock of it was awful. There was around 20 of us all just staring at the tv mouths open nobody speaking. A very surreal moment. God bless them all.
I never thought I would cry about a 9/11 video and I think everyone does but when I watched one single video about how people we’re saying I love you son/husband/daughter and more then I hear the screams I burst into tears every time no matter how old it gets .rest in peace to all the victims of 9/11
Pray you don't realize that after 2 decades america gave up and became partners with the taliban and gave them Afghanistan and military equipment as gifts for the new partnership so a whole bunch of americans died for nothing.
9/11 should never have happened. Even if we were united following the attacks, that unity eventually fell apart as the years went on, and the presidency of Donald Trump obviously didn’t help. If this horrible tragedy never took place, we honestly would’ve been better off. The anniversary of 9/11 was once a day I paid my respects to those who lost their lives that day, with hopes of a better future ahead. Now it’s something I dread every year because of the fact that it led us to this mess.

I’m a teenager, I wasn’t even alive in 2001, but seeing this makes me sick to my stomach. Rip to all of the innocent lives and the lives of hero’s on that day🕊
I went to NYC for the first time in August 2017, and made a visit to the 9/11 Memorial Museum, and vividly remember seeing everything in this video... the beams, columns, the staircase, the smashed fire truck, the bullhorn used by President Bush speaking to all the first responders, and even part of the crushed communications antennae from the North Tower! Unbelievable that it once was mounted on top of a 110 story skyscraper! It was quite emotional and overwhelming at the scale of the exhibits. Seeing the personal items, and all the photographs was heartbreaking. The massive "blue" wall, though beautiful in color is also startling to realize how that day started out like a normal sunny day, which in a brief time changed our country forever. One of the most unsettling pieces, was part of an airplane fuselage with the broken window. It was chilling to realize that someone was sitting in that seat, looking out the window in horror, about their fate. 😭 Regarding the part of the exhibit about the terrorists that stands out for me is, the video timeline of all the terrorists as they came to the U.S. years before, where they lived, went to colleges, took flight training, then one by one ended up getting to NY for that fateful day. I learned that one of terrorists had trouble learning English, and went back to the Middle East?! I was at the Memorial Museum for 3 hours, plus the time walking around the Plaza where the Towers once stood. Even standing in front of the granite edged reflecting pools, looking into the "void", I kept looking UP visualizing "THEM" in front of me! I highly recommend everyone visit this complex on your next trip to NY. I'm working on my 2nd trip, and will go again, to acknowledge and honor "both" Towers! RIP to those lost... 🙏
@@dvchel The borders were useless on 9/11, as the terrorists had already BEEN in the U.S. for a couple of years, attending colleges, and flight training classes. Nobody DROVE here! 🤔
@@beniteztheconman When the twin towers collapse on building 7 setting it on fire while making it structurally unsafe from the debris, it was amazing it stood that long before it collapsed.
This museum is the truth - it is extremely in depth and done exceptionally well. For those with younger members of the family visiting, the museum has different sections and lets you know when topics might be (definitely) too heavy for them. Take at least three or four hours to do it justice because this place explores EVERY aspect of that day, including events leading up and afterward. Just some information for all. This museum has been completed for over ten years now. I was there in 2019 and again a few weeks ago. This video must have been recorded around the time the museum opened in 2011 and is being re-released now under a new TH-cam upload. Being a news network, this video really should have made that clear to the viewer. That being said, please definitely come visit this museum and our wonderful city.
I'm from the Philippines and i vividly remember my grandmother bursting into tears when this reminded her of when the Japanese invaded Manila and her favorite churches she and her father used to go to were all bombed and turned to rubble. I never saw her cry before that, it also left a mark in me after of how much trauma some of our old folks went through during their lifetime.
I was an elementary teacher at the time, second grade. The students asked if they could pray. I said yes. My cousin was in the Pentagon, and my son's father in law was on a plane going to DC. I didn't know til the end of the day that they were ok. The circumstances and loss of life was shocking. RIP.
I was in the 4th grade that day. My teacher was lame, she didn't even tell us (the students) that 4 planes had crashed. I didn't even know about it until I came home that afternoon from school and saw my dad had the TV turned on. I was on the S. Tower observatory myself just a year before the attack in summer of 2000.
Your cousin was at the Pentagon that day. Question. Were there ANY plane parts debris even found or seen??? Why are there sooo many conspiracy saying that no planes even hit the Pentagon? And that it was a missile??

The retaining wall stood up because my dad a cement inspector worked on the towers there.His name was John Siedentopf and he worked for this lab as a second job to support our family.He was also FDNY.I am so proud that he was fastidious in his work.
No you stupid man he was inspector who approved of the cement being laid, therefore he saved lives and also did his job for the FDNY. Yes I am proud of him.I did not do it so not selfish, he deserves all the praise that I can afford to him.
If someone wants to pay my airfare to New York, my hotel room, transportation and meals…..I would love to go visit that museum and pay my respects. I grew up in New York and my dad worked for the port authority for 31 years between Kennedy and LaGuardia airports. I would love to see the Freedom Tower and the museum. The trip of a lifetime it would be.
when I was 12 my family went to this museum. I have a lot of family so though I wasn’t born when it happened, it affected my family. When we went into the area that was the darkest moments and I started sobbing and had a panic attack. It was horrifying hearing the phone calls, videos, etc. it’s hard to imagine living it, when it’s terrifying learning about it. I will never forget the tragedy. Edit: My aunt who lives in New York today has mentioned how when she walks by the memorial, it’s hard to see how people sit there having picnics or laughing knowing that the ground is blood soaked.
This museum was so well done and delicately and intricately executed. I remember being absolutely absorbed in the experience when I went there in 2016, to the point where when I came back up the escalators and stood in line to grab a muffin and a coffee in the café, I felt extreme guilt. How was I just ordering a muffin on a normal day like this, in this very spot, where so many people lost their lives. It was absurd.
I'm British and live near Bristol in Great Britain, this is so moving to watch... My heart goes out to the victims families on this sad day for you and the people of The United States Of America... God bless you...
I visited a year ago and cried. You really should make this a whole day because I only had about 3 hours, but you get sucked into reading the stories on the wall, just regular people going about their day and then this.
I flew to the USA from the UK for the first time back in May and I visited this museum on my second day in NYC, I spent ages at the one world trade centre and then I went to ground zero and read every name on the waterfalls. Eventually went into the museum and was there until it closed and stayed at the memorial until 8pm when it closed. I felt like part of my soul was left there, so many people died for what? Just people going to work dying because of terrorists.
I’ve been there in 2016 and had to take a break to catch my breath..it was extremely painful to be there. I can’t even imagine what it’s like for the families of those who died or the survivors.
my best friend who was only 9 months old at the time 9/11 happened lost both her parents to the attacks and was left in an orphanage until she went to middle school and met me. her life ended in 2017 when she committed suicide after being put through all the trauma she went through: loosing her parents, loosing her best friend, and being raped by her ex boyfriend. I hope Shes in a better place and with her parents. RIP Adriana and RIP to all the victums of the 9/11 attacks
There's literally no need to bring any of this up, especially in a fucking TH-cam comment section of all places. Do you think she would have wanted you telling the fucking world about her trauma? Have you no human decency?
9 months old and never got fostered, after both parents died in 9/11 she would not have been short on offers. I’m not saying your lying but your story seems sus.
@@removed7331 who do you talk to about this lol? atleast someone is remembering her, and i'm sure this person just wants to get something off their chest
I’m not even an American let alone a New Yorker yet this tragedy never fail to make me sob like a baby. So many lives just perished like that, it hurts man
If you’ve never been to that museum I highly suggest you put it on your bucket list. Absolutely the most humbling and mind blowing experience I’ve ever felt.
Took me and my fiancé 5 hours. There’s a lot in there that you can not take any electronics with you in. From this video it looks like renovations, most of the things have been taken out. That museum is packed with memorabilia and storied pieces from the attacks. A lot of it you need to just look and soak it in.
When I went a few years back, I was taken aback by how insane it all was, it really hits home when you see the scale of everything and the devastation that was caused
This monumentally horrendous event only feels like it happened a few years back not 21yrs here in 2022. It still shakes my very core watching it unfold even as a Brit watching afar.
We moved our oldest daughter home that horrible day & remember getting gas while news was blaring from fuel pumps. We kept our youngest home from school, it was important we were all together. Bless all those involved & still healing, may we never forget 9/11/01 🇺🇲
Sep11 was the start of my final day in secondary school here in UK. From when a fighter jet screamed over school it's all ingrained in my memory never to be forgotten.
When the man mentioned a picture from a wedding I believe he is talking about the picture I gave of my mother on her wedding day. She died in the South Tower helping a friend on 9/11.
Today we honor the 343 firefighters, 71 LEOs, 10 paramedics, and 2,977 civilians who died that day. May you rest in peace, brave souls. You shall be remembered, just like Techno and Her Majesty The Queen.
@@asresbenayalew3092 Yes, he made a mistake. The 2,977 victims include the 424 emergency workers, as well as the airplane victims. And the extra 19 on top are the highjackers.
@@chrisedrev9519 Call it morbid curiosity & you might be right, but I often try to relive the horror of that day from everyone's POV - the passengers & crew, the people in the buildings, the first responders, the air traffic controllers, the families, the news reporters, New Yorkers & Americans as a whole, and even the hijackers. No natural or manmade tragedy that occurred during my lifetime has affected me like 9/11.
I visited this museum in 2018, I remember the first thing when I walked into the museum, were quotes of people's reaction to the tragedy. It brought me right back when I was a kid, I was on the other side of the world, we had just finished dinner, and my parent were watching TV, a live report of the attack and crying their eyes out. I was too young to know what happened but now I came in person to understand the worst and the best of people. RIP to all lives lost that day
I wasn’t born at the time the attack took place, but my father lived in New York for almost his whole life and told me exactly what he seen and when he visited the twin towers after they were destroyed. It made me very sad to the point I almost cried and I am 16 years old.
On the morning of September 11 2001, hundreds of parents kissed their children goodbye as they went to school and went to work at the World Trade Center. That was the last their children saw of their parents. 20 years later the children would visit the new complex, memorial and museum. May they all Rest In Peace
@@zoexyxo Hope you don't mind, but I've taken it upon myself to submit your comment for consideration in the quarterly publication "Internet Voices & Technological Savants". I'll let you know if it get's printed!
I was a sophomore in high school living on the west coast. Its hard to really absorb the significance of what was happening at that age, but all anyone including the teachers could do that day was just watch the TV.
for generations to come, whenever families visit this museum, they'll tell their children that their parents, grandparents and great grandparents remember where they were and what they were doing on that dark, tragic and unforgettable day
My dad was just about 36 when the towers fell. I had two cousins, one in the Marines, one the Army, about this time. My dad wrote me a note (I was barely 2) that day. I remember him getting it and reading it on the 10 Year mark of the event. It's been the only time I've seen him ever cry. A very tough man was brought to tears because of the uncertainty of our future. It hurts me I never got to see this museum when I was in New York. I need to go some time.
People don't realize that when this happened we didn't know if the USA was legitimately under attack. Most people didn't have cell phones or internet, and the news kept saying there were threats of more attacks after the four planes had already crashed. We were just sitting and waiting to see who would be next. Bombs were a thing back then, the Twin Towers were bombed several years before 9/11. Thankfully it calmed down, but I think many of us, especially in the bigger cities, thought we could be next. Crazy uncertain times.
Such a striking museum. It’s kind of bittersweet, but of the other museums we’ve all been in about historical events. That fact that all of this is in our living memory is just amazing.
I visiting the 9/11 memorial and what got to me was not the design or the architecture or otherwise, it was the silence. Anyone who visited would know there’s thousands of people and it was pure pin drop silence. It was just moving.
I was in kindergarten. I didn’t understand why my dad picked me up from school early. All I remember is my mom being scared and telling us that our country was under attack
I went in 2018 it’s very very eerie and quite depressing with the phone calls of the people onboard the flights calling loved ones etc even though it happened 2 years before I was born I felt it still affected me such a tragic loss
It’s sad to actually think that this day could’ve actually been worse which is hard to think considering how horrific the events that occurred on this day were
Something that they didn't show in the video is a room dedicated to the jumpers. To all those who took their lives because they had no way out. That was the most disturbing room for me.
Not the part where 20 years later america gave up and became partners with the taliban and gave them Afghanistan and military equipment as gifts for the new partnership so a whole bunch of americans died for nothing? That part sounds pretty disturbing to me. 🤷♂️
I've been there, on 2019 i was in the museum. My family had planned the New York trip for weeks probably 2 months, we stayed there for a week and a half. The ltrip was pretty cool, we went to the statue of liberty, got lost in Times Square, i went to the Bronx, to the Yankees stadium, without knowing that a few blocks from us were the famous Joker stairs (We made our trip on july), i remember we wanted to go to the Mets but the Fortnite world cup took place there so we just stayed in the park. It was fun, but then... thursday happened. It started pretty normal and i was excited to learn new stuff, until the very first second i took a step on the museum's entrance. Entering hurts, but if you go to the basement part, it is complete silence, the only things you can listen are some people crying and the sound of the old TV news reports they were playing around. The images, the environment, there was something in the air that you could feel as a heavy place. It was hard to keep going, especially for my sister who just kept making qquestions over and over and teasing me a little bit. I think that the 2 hours we stayed there were faster than the ones we spent in the American Museum of natural history. After that we went to the fountains, wich are the structures of the towers, reading the names and watching how deep the fountains were haunted me. It was a pretty day, the sun made everywhere look nice and cinematic, but there was something in the museum that just made it wrong to smile. I mean i wasn't traumatized but it did make a big impact on me, being down there in the museum felt like a big funeral
I wasn’t born then, but my mom told me about my cousin who used to live in NY and worked in the World Trade Center. On that day he was running pretty late and on his way, he saw what happened. Today he lives in Texas, but I can’t begin to imagine what would’ve happened that day if he wasn’t running late. RIP to all the lives that were lost that day.
Like so many, I remember what I was doing on that terrible day so clearly. I was with friends on a Thai island, I had had a nap in the afternoon and had just woken up from an extremely vivid dream involving World War 3, without knowing what had just happened in NYC. My friends came into my room and told me to come to the restaurant in our resort as everyone was there watching TV. People were understandably freaking out. It affected everyone around the world.
Went today after working a convention in the area I just sensed early so much energy left my event and there was a beautiful service happening outside. Still very emotional to be around.
I'd like to visit this place to pay tribute and my respect for those lost that terrible day. I met a fire fighter who was there. And I told him I wish I was there to help you. And he said, " Just be glad you weren't" That still sticks with me. So yeah, after all this time, my heart still goes out. 😢 God bless him and all those souls lost that day. 🙏
When you memorialize something you don't just remember the victims. You also remember the perpetrators of these terrible things so that you don't allow these things to happen ever again. Yes there's controversy. But as the saying goes 'those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it'. That's why we remember the evil that caused things like 9/11. It makes us able to stop them.
21 years... 21 years of pain but unity has gone by so quickly even now the events had shook the world to it's core so many lives were lost, so many families torn apart RIP the innocent victims of 9/11😭💔🙏

"No day shall erase you from the memory of time" So poignant! i first heard, when my mother and i went to the dedication ceremony, that my uncle patrick saved upwards of 70+ people including everyone from his floor before the towers fell and, through stories, i even learned that his last sighting was practically carrying a heavyset man who was stubbornly refusing to move faster...firefighters never recovered his body and the only thing i have to remember him is a picture we took at my 10th birthday a month beforehand as well as his pocket bible that he left on his nightstand before leaving for work
I visited the museum in 2021 the day after the 20th anniversary and oh my god it was incredible. Very well done in my opinion. There was one exhibit that really stuck with me. It was a recording of an FDNY dispatcher from that day going through a list of every unit that was responding. The recording went on for something like 5-10 minutes. It really put into context the immense scale of the response to the events that were unfolding. If you haven’t yet visited the museum or memorial then it’s definitely a must the next time you’re in the city.
To hear the story about that wall and that it even could be much worse (while it already looked like it couldn't be any more devastating) is a true shock to me.
I was with my father in his downtown work office building. I was 7. Felt sick so my father brought me with him. After the first plane hit we started exiting the city. However seeing it first hand through a glass window is surreal and lives in my head vividly. I remember being so confused why it was happening. I couldn’t comprehend it as a child, quite scary.
I'm not an American citizen but watching the tragedy 😭😭 listining to there last call 😭😭 my tears falls down 😭 and I say there soul are now in a good place with God ❤️❤️❤️rip to all victims
I remember being in elementary school not knowing what was happening but I remember my teacher crying. I grew up in a town called Whiting, Indiana and little did I know that because we have a huge BP refinery in our backyard that it was a possible target. I remember my mom coming to get me and her being so scared and I just didn’t understand in the moment.
At first, it was unclear just how many attacks could be happening. Many bigger buildings in larger cities evacuated just in case. I was in middle school and we all went home to be with family
I'm from outside the US and was only 10 years old when this happened. I don't think I really understood any of it at the time. I'm not sure if I was even told/otherwise learned about it. I sure have no recollection of it so it might be that my parents never brought it up. But I've been educating myself on the subject, especially very recently. And it's really heartbreaking. Some of the last phone calls and voice messages left me crying for a good while. All of it really affects me even though I didn't know any of the people personally affected by this. My heart's with everyone who either lost their lives or their loved ones.
First off I just want to let everyone know that this comment is not about 9/11 but I will say rip to everyone who died but my real comment is asking Carl when he's going to be going back to 10 minute videos because I'm pretty sure he said that they go back to 10 minute videos in August and its September 11 so I hope you weren't lying Carl because I actually enjoy the 10 minute videos but besides that I hope that everyone who does possibly read this comment besides Carl azuz I hope you have a great rest of your day today and tomorrow.
I was here, fir school trip, i dont know how to explain it, but has to be one of the few times ove teared up in public, someone can look at the stone and say, its just stone, but its so much more, this, this is a reminder, and a haunting one at that, every single artifact i looked at, i could feel the weigh and story behind every pebble, every truck, every artifact, i was in the maze going through the events, for any family who lost someone to this, im teribly sorry, im sorry that such an event occured that made things like this, but after leaving, i realized, this isnt the end, look around us, look at what we learned, look at how we hace grown stronger, this was one of the most emotional rides i have ever been on
21 years ago gone by so quick but never forget so horrible and sad day even is still shocking to watch today as when it happened 💔 rest in peace to all the victims
Horrific, an unimaginable nightmare for all those innocent people caught in this atrocity. I can still remember sitting at my desk in Stockport, England and a colleague leaning over a balcony and telling us all below what happened. The rest of my day was just a blur.
I was just a few months old at that time. My parents told me during the time on 9/11, they looked out their apartment window in Brooklyn and saw the smoke from the crash in the sky. Just 2 days prior I was flew back to China to see my family and grow up there, which was crazy to me that I left so close towards 9/11.
i am from Germany. At that day and time, i was to little to witness/later remember what happend. But my parents did. Everyone knew where they were. i talked about this many times with my parents. After the memorial day, i came back and i am still shocked and can't describe the feelings. one day i want to visit this museum to learn more about that day.
Thank you for the video. I´m from Germany and hopefully I can travel to New York in the future. My first visit would go to this museum. I still remember the day when the attacks happened and I won´t forget it.
Just to think about going to 9/11 memorial area and to think how big the wtc memorial pool looks, it made me realize how big 2 of the WTCs really is in person 😰
You can take your age today, subtract the amount of time that has passed, and arrive at the actual age you were on that day!! Let me know if you want help with the math!
I wasn't alive when any of this happened, so I can't imagine something so harrowing occurring RIP to all the victims and families affected. It's a truly heartbreaking event
i know you guys might think im making this up but im not, my dads uncle was in 9/11 and my dad told me "it was horrific, there was smoke everywhere you went and debris was falling down well also seeing poor people jump out of the towers" RIP all victims
That's nothing... my cousin's girlfriend's half brother's best friend said he took shelter in a coffee shop and watched the debris fly by the window!!!
I was born only months after the event and a few years later my mom told me about it and when she did I was outraged that anyone could do something like that but I was also saddened by the fact that so many families lost their loved ones
I was a high school student and lived in a small town in Hungary. I just came home from school and was watching tv when the news broke out. Something awful happened in New York. To be honest I was still naive and young to comprehend everything and from a small town in Hungary it looked distant. Then I saw the footage. I can still remember the presenter who said out loud what happened. The older I get the more I care about this. I'll never understand why so many innocent people had to die. This, the London bombings, the 2015 Paris attacks and the Utoya shootings/Oslo bombings will forever haunt me.
i wasnt alive at the time it happened, but I have heavy interest on learning about this tragic event, I'm very grateful to be able to go there and see history that had impacted me. i remember my history teacher showing the newspaper that the sun made about 9/11. Its crazy to think that this even even took place
It changed air travel forever. When you compare what it was like before and after it's crazy and of course it brought forth the Patriot Act and increased surveillance, which is why so many today get a bit paranoid. It's also shrouded in conspiracy theories, but anyone who was there that day or saw the news knows not to buy those tales. It was a dark day and no one knew what was happening. I was in school and the world really did go silent that day.
Nothing on film truly captures the horror as well as this museum. They hid nothing. Excellent showing and remembering every single life lost that day and the many years later of peoples lives lost because of the effects from that day
It'll never make sense they chose to kill thousands and for what? What seemed like an endless war, their deaths? Being hunted until our SEAL teams finally found him? They wanted to make a point, but really all they did was prove again that the US military is one of the best funded in the world.
I went to this museum in 2018, there is a dark, silent room where you can listen to clips of people marking their last phone calls to loved ones. It is absolutely heartbreaking
I went there in 2016. Was only 4 when the attacks occured. I had never heard a silence so deafening until I entered that room with the audio. It was literally like someone was grabbing my soul and holding it hostage. Easily the scariest, realest moment of my entire 26 years. You could feel death in that room. I got back to the hotel and couldn't sleep. "Why was it this person and not me?" playing over and over in my head. It should be required for citizenship to go in there, I think.
@@Spookehhwhat's the name of that room?
@@ConanObrien22 I don’t know. But it’s on the first floor I believe. It’s almost shaped like the letter C. It’s dark. Pretty small. You press a button to hear the voicemails if I remember correctly. Absolutely soul wrenching.
@@Spookehh hmm interesting. Was it the same voicemail from a person who called his wife to say goodbye when he found out that the plane hijacked? I've never been there I'm not from US, I was 9 when this happened.
@@Spookehhwen you vistit Korea you have a room like that but the diffrent you hear the voice of kids that burnd down by Amaricans
I was a high school senior at the time. Our school, as well as many others, went in lock down as we watched it on the news. Every teacher pulled the tvs out so the students can watch. I was an office aid and watched a girl come screaming down the hall towards the main doors. Her father worked at the Pentagon. Her cries were haunting as she pounded on the doors to be let out.
This is something we had never forgotten.
I was reading this and I wanted to cry. I can't imagine all the pain she went through
Is her father okay?
dam my mom was at work
I lost someone in it
@@shawnweber6456 I'm sorry that happened
I will never forget. I was 19 and came home from school in the afternoon and turned on the tv. Here in Sweden we are about six hours before the US so when I looked at the news it was morning in new york. And I heard about "the accident", "a small plane hit the world trade center" and I watch the images,horrified but perplexed. I remember thinking "but how can anyone be so clumpsy so they fly in to a building?" and then,bang,the second plane hit,on live television. And I went from "thats strange" to "did the third world war just start?" and began to cry. I was on the outher side of the world and still it impacted me deeply. I cant even begin to imagine the horror for thouse who were there and thouse who lost loved ones.Best wishes from Sweden.
No matter how far we live from each other, we are still human beings.
Also, I'm sorry about how you felt.

@@benszone1879 Thank you,and you are so right. I was offcourse not in any real danger at all,but as a child growing up in europe during the 80ies my mind did not goe to "terrorism" it went to "third world war/nuclear war". Nobody had attacked the US on its soil since Pearl Harbor and for me,as a teenager I wasnt aware of the terrorist threath until that day. Never heard of Usama bin Laden or al-Qaida. And ISIS didnt even exist.The world really changed that day for sure.
The reason for my tears was the thought of the people in the tower above the planes. I thought "they wont get out". And "they are dying right now". So I will always remember that day,as - Im sure -many people around the world who watched it like me. But I say it again,I couldnt even begin to imagen the suffering for thoose people directly affected.
Thank you for your entry, Miss.
I was in my doctors waiting room and it came on tv here in the UK. The shock of it was awful. There was around 20 of us all just staring at the tv mouths open nobody speaking. A very surreal moment.
God bless them all.
I never thought I would cry about a 9/11 video and I think everyone does but when I watched one single video about how people we’re saying I love you son/husband/daughter and more then I hear the screams I burst into tears every time no matter how old it gets .rest in peace to all the victims of 9/11

9/11 should never have happened. Even if we were united following the attacks, that unity eventually fell apart as the years went on, and the presidency of Donald Trump obviously didn’t help.
If this horrible tragedy never took place, we honestly would’ve been better off. The anniversary of 9/11 was once a day I paid my respects to those who lost their lives that day, with hopes of a better future ahead. Now it’s something I dread every year because of the fact that it led us to this mess.

I went to NYC for the first time in August 2017, and made a visit to the 9/11 Memorial Museum, and vividly remember seeing everything in this video... the beams, columns, the staircase, the smashed fire truck, the bullhorn used by President Bush speaking to all the first responders, and even part of the crushed communications antennae from the North Tower! Unbelievable that it once was mounted on top of a 110 story skyscraper!
It was quite emotional and overwhelming at the scale of the exhibits. Seeing the personal items, and all the photographs was heartbreaking. The massive "blue" wall, though beautiful in color is also startling to realize how that day started out like a normal sunny day, which in a brief time changed our country forever. One of the most unsettling pieces, was part of an airplane fuselage with the broken window. It was chilling to realize that someone was sitting in that seat, looking out the window in horror, about their fate. 😭
Regarding the part of the exhibit about the terrorists that stands out for me is, the video timeline of all the terrorists as they came to the U.S. years before, where they lived, went to colleges, took flight training, then one by one ended up getting to NY for that fateful day. I learned that one of terrorists had trouble learning English, and went back to the Middle East?!
I was at the Memorial Museum for
3 hours, plus the time walking around the Plaza where the Towers once stood. Even standing in front of the granite edged reflecting pools, looking into the "void", I kept looking UP visualizing "THEM" in front of me!
I highly recommend everyone visit this complex on your next trip to NY. I'm working on my 2nd trip, and will go again, to acknowledge and honor "both" Towers!
RIP to those lost... 🙏

Yep. That's why you gotta have strong borders. Know what kind of people come in who want to commit evil.

The borders were useless on 9/11, as the terrorists had already BEEN in the U.S. for a couple of years, attending colleges, and flight training classes.

Building 7
@@beniteztheconman When the twin towers collapse on building 7 setting it on fire while making it structurally unsafe from the debris, it was amazing it stood that long before it collapsed.
This museum is the truth - it is extremely in depth and done exceptionally well. For those with younger members of the family visiting, the museum has different sections and lets you know when topics might be (definitely) too heavy for them. Take at least three or four hours to do it justice because this place explores EVERY aspect of that day, including events leading up and afterward.
Just some information for all. This museum has been completed for over ten years now. I was there in 2019 and again a few weeks ago. This video must have been recorded around the time the museum opened in 2011 and is being re-released now under a new TH-cam upload. Being a news network, this video really should have made that clear to the viewer. That being said, please definitely come visit this museum and our wonderful city.
In your opinion.

I'm from the Philippines and i vividly remember my grandmother bursting into tears when this reminded her of when the Japanese invaded Manila and her favorite churches she and her father used to go to were all bombed and turned to rubble. I never saw her cry before that, it also left a mark in me after of how much trauma some of our old folks went through during their lifetime.
I was an elementary teacher at the time, second grade. The students asked if they could pray. I said yes. My cousin was in the Pentagon, and my son's father in law was on a plane going to DC. I didn't know til the end of the day that they were ok. The circumstances and loss of life was shocking. RIP.
I was in the 4th grade that day. My teacher was lame, she didn't even tell us (the students) that 4 planes had crashed. I didn't even know about it until I came home that afternoon from school and saw my dad had the TV turned on. I was on the S. Tower observatory myself just a year before the attack in summer of 2000.

The trip of a lifetime it would be.

Like our own hajj?
when I was 12 my family went to this museum. I have a lot of family so though I wasn’t born when it happened, it affected my family. When we went into the area that was the darkest moments and I started sobbing and had a panic attack. It was horrifying hearing the phone calls, videos, etc. it’s hard to imagine living it, when it’s terrifying learning about it. I will never forget the tragedy.
Edit: My aunt who lives in New York today has mentioned how when she walks by the memorial, it’s hard to see how people sit there having picnics or laughing knowing that the ground is blood soaked.
This museum was so well done and delicately and intricately executed. I remember being absolutely absorbed in the experience when I went there in 2016, to the point where when I came back up the escalators and stood in line to grab a muffin and a coffee in the café, I felt extreme guilt. How was I just ordering a muffin on a normal day like this, in this very spot, where so many people lost their lives. It was absurd.

I flew to the USA from the UK for the first time back in May and I visited this museum on my second day in NYC, I spent ages at the one world trade centre and then I went to ground zero and read every name on the waterfalls.
Eventually went into the museum and was there until it closed and stayed at the memorial until 8pm when it closed.
I felt like part of my soul was left there, so many people died for what? Just people going to work dying because of terrorists.
I can't believe 21 years have passed.
Time flies like an arrow.
I’ve been there in 2016 and had to take a break to catch my breath..it was extremely painful to be there. I can’t even imagine what it’s like for the families of those who died or the survivors.
my best friend who was only 9 months old at the time 9/11 happened lost both her parents to the attacks and was left in an orphanage until she went to middle school and met me. her life ended in 2017 when she committed suicide after being put through all the trauma she went through: loosing her parents, loosing her best friend, and being raped by her ex boyfriend. I hope Shes in a better place and with her parents. RIP Adriana and RIP to all the victums of the 9/11 attacks

Took me and my fiancé 5 hours. There’s a lot in there that you can not take any electronics with you in. From this video it looks like renovations, most of the things have been taken out.

No natural or manmade tragedy that occurred during my lifetime has affected me like 9/11.
I visited this museum in 2018, I remember the first thing when I walked into the museum, were quotes of people's reaction to the tragedy. It brought me right back when I was a kid, I was on the other side of the world, we had just finished dinner, and my parent were watching TV, a live report of the attack and crying their eyes out. I was too young to know what happened but now I came in person to understand the worst and the best of people. RIP to all lives lost that day
I wasn’t born at the time the attack took place, but my father lived in New York for almost his whole life and told me exactly what he seen and when he visited the twin towers after they were destroyed. It made me very sad to the point I almost cried and I am 16 years old.
On the morning of September 11 2001, hundreds of parents kissed their children goodbye as they went to school and went to work at the World Trade Center. That was the last their children saw of their parents.
20 years later the children would visit the new complex, memorial and museum.

I was a sophomore in high school living on the west coast. Its hard to really absorb the significance of what was happening at that age, but all anyone including the teachers could do that day was just watch the TV.
for generations to come, whenever families visit this museum, they'll tell their children that their parents, grandparents and great grandparents remember where they were and what they were doing on that dark, tragic and unforgettable day
21 years... times sure flies. I remember those days, it was a commotion all over the world.
My dad was just about 36 when the towers fell. I had two cousins, one in the Marines, one the Army, about this time. My dad wrote me a note (I was barely 2) that day. I remember him getting it and reading it on the 10 Year mark of the event. It's been the only time I've seen him ever cry. A very tough man was brought to tears because of the uncertainty of our future. It hurts me I never got to see this museum when I was in New York. I need to go some time.
People don't realize that when this happened we didn't know if the USA was legitimately under attack. Most people didn't have cell phones or internet, and the news kept saying there were threats of more attacks after the four planes had already crashed. We were just sitting and waiting to see who would be next. Bombs were a thing back then, the Twin Towers were bombed several years before 9/11. Thankfully it calmed down, but I think many of us, especially in the bigger cities, thought we could be next. Crazy uncertain times.
Please share the note!
Such a striking museum.
It’s kind of bittersweet, but of the other museums we’ve all been in about historical events.
That fact that all of this is in our living memory is just amazing.
That museum it’s a Cemetery for the victims who died that day and the family who left behind 🙏🏻🕊️🕊️🕊️ R.I.P to all the victims
I visiting the 9/11 memorial and what got to me was not the design or the architecture or otherwise, it was the silence. Anyone who visited would know there’s thousands of people and it was pure pin drop silence. It was just moving.
I was in kindergarten. I didn’t understand why my dad picked me up from school early. All I remember is my mom being scared and telling us that our country was under attack
I went in 2018 it’s very very eerie and quite depressing with the phone calls of the people onboard the flights calling loved ones etc even though it happened 2 years before I was born I felt it still affected me such a tragic loss
Search on TH-cam . ' Solving 9-11 By Christopher Bollyn .'
I got to go in 2019, I can’t explain the atmosphere in there. I felt so much awe and deep pain and got emotional taking everything in ❤
It’s sad to actually think that this day could’ve actually been worse which is hard to think considering how horrific the events that occurred on this day were

Something that they didn't show in the video is a room dedicated to the jumpers. To all those who took their lives because they had no way out. That was the most disturbing room for me.

I've been there, on 2019 i was in the museum. My family had planned the New York trip for weeks probably 2 months, we stayed there for a week and a half. The ltrip was pretty cool, we went to the statue of liberty, got lost in Times Square, i went to the Bronx, to the Yankees stadium, without knowing that a few blocks from us were the famous Joker stairs (We made our trip on july), i remember we wanted to go to the Mets but the Fortnite world cup took place there so we just stayed in the park. It was fun, but then... thursday happened. It started pretty normal and i was excited to learn new stuff, until the very first second i took a step on the museum's entrance. Entering hurts, but if you go to the basement part, it is complete silence, the only things you can listen are some people crying and the sound of the old TV news reports they were playing around. The images, the environment, there was something in the air that you could feel as a heavy place. It was hard to keep going, especially for my sister who just kept making qquestions over and over and teasing me a little bit. I think that the 2 hours we stayed there were faster than the ones we spent in the American Museum of natural history.
After that we went to the fountains, wich are the structures of the towers, reading the names and watching how deep the fountains were haunted me. It was a pretty day, the sun made everywhere look nice and cinematic, but there was something in the museum that just made it wrong to smile.
I mean i wasn't traumatized but it did make a big impact on me, being down there in the museum felt like a big funeral
Went there last year. What a jaw dropping experience. I didn't get to go inside. You can feel something when your there looking at the waterfalls.
I wasn’t born then, but my mom told me about my cousin who used to live in NY and worked in the World Trade Center. On that day he was running pretty late and on his way, he saw what happened. Today he lives in Texas, but I can’t begin to imagine what would’ve happened that day if he wasn’t running late. RIP to all the lives that were lost that day.
An underground museum in the footprint of the towers is so unique.
Underground museum not so unique. Being in the footpring of the former WTC towers will of course be unique.
Like so many, I remember what I was doing on that terrible day so clearly. I was with friends on a Thai island, I had had a nap in the afternoon and had just woken up from an extremely vivid dream involving World War 3, without knowing what had just happened in NYC. My friends came into my room and told me to come to the restaurant in our resort as everyone was there watching TV. People were understandably freaking out. It affected everyone around the world.
If only you had warned America about your dream, many thousands of lives could have been saved!
Went today after working a convention in the area I just sensed early so much energy left my event and there was a beautiful service happening outside. Still very emotional to be around.
I'd like to visit this place to pay tribute and my respect for those lost that terrible day. I met a fire fighter who was there. And I told him I wish I was there to help you. And he said, " Just be glad you weren't" That still sticks with me. So yeah, after all this time, my heart still goes out. 😢 God bless him and all those souls lost that day. 🙏
When you memorialize something you don't just remember the victims. You also remember the perpetrators of these terrible things so that you don't allow these things to happen ever again. Yes there's controversy. But as the saying goes 'those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it'. That's why we remember the evil that caused things like 9/11. It makes us able to stop them.
The part that gave me chills was when They talked about the cross that stood in the rubble it’s like Jesus saying I am with you always ⛪️
The blue sky art is even more sad knowing that Virgil is no longer with us 😢
It's like walking through a cemetery like thats where all those people died. I could feel the sad energy already
I’ve been here. It’s very heartbreaking
21 years... 21 years of pain but unity has gone by so quickly even now the events had shook the world to it's core so many lives were lost, so many families torn apart RIP the innocent victims of 9/11😭💔🙏
I plan to go to NYC and I plan to witness this museum the entire memorial
NEVER FORGET 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I haven't even stepped inside the museum and this made me depressed. So many lives lost in an evil attack.
Rest in peace to those who died 😔
God of our Savior in heaven, please change the past so that My sister, Jennifer tang and her friend, Dylan Lewis will be reborn back in June 20th, 1993 and I will be born without autism, spectrums, disabilities and disorders as my new life in reality on earth on June 20th, 1997 to avoid IEP Meetings and Summer School by watching educational channels on tv, speak with my first words and playing toys, interventions and games, when I can be a 2 year old in 1999, spend more times with my sister, my aunt, my uncle, my mom, my dad, my mom and dad’s friends, my cousins and my grandparents in Sterling and new friends who are typically average ability kids in Sterling Elementary School when I can be a 5 year old in 2002 so they can learn to spell my name with words, draw and paint a picture, read and write on a book, make money, doing chores and jobs at my old house, 216 W Balsam RD, Sterling, VA, exercise inside and outside in the community, singing a song, counting numbers, go out to play and eat and go to Sterling Middle School and Parkview High School to study algebra, biology, English, chemistry and geometry with me when I was a 12 year old in 2009 and a 15 year old in 2012 and get IPhone 1 when I can be a 10 year old in 2007 as a second chance before we all died and Rest In Peace in heaven in the future and change and altered timeline history back in 2001 so the US Government can create a diversion by calling the Airport Security to defeat Osama Bin Laden and the 9/11 terrorists to hijack airplanes and destroyed the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, The Pentagon in Washington DC and Stonycreek Township in Somerset County at Pennsylvania.
"No day shall erase you from the memory of time" So poignant! i first heard, when my mother and i went to the dedication ceremony, that my uncle patrick saved upwards of 70+ people including everyone from his floor before the towers fell and, through stories, i even learned that his last sighting was practically carrying a heavyset man who was stubbornly refusing to move faster...firefighters never recovered his body and the only thing i have to remember him is a picture we took at my 10th birthday a month beforehand as well as his pocket bible that he left on his nightstand before leaving for work
I visited the museum in 2021 the day after the 20th anniversary and oh my god it was incredible. Very well done in my opinion. There was one exhibit that really stuck with me. It was a recording of an FDNY dispatcher from that day going through a list of every unit that was responding. The recording went on for something like 5-10 minutes. It really put into context the immense scale of the response to the events that were unfolding. If you haven’t yet visited the museum or memorial then it’s definitely a must the next time you’re in the city.
To hear the story about that wall and that it even could be much worse (while it already looked like it couldn't be any more devastating) is a true shock to me.
I was with my father in his downtown work office building. I was 7. Felt sick so my father brought me with him. After the first plane hit we started exiting the city. However seeing it first hand through a glass window is surreal and lives in my head vividly.
I remember being so confused why it was happening. I couldn’t comprehend it as a child, quite scary.
I'm not an American citizen but watching the tragedy 😭😭 listining to there last call 😭😭 my tears falls down 😭 and I say there soul are now in a good place with God ❤️❤️❤️rip to all victims
I remember being in elementary school not knowing what was happening but I remember my teacher crying. I grew up in a town called Whiting, Indiana and little did I know that because we have a huge BP refinery in our backyard that it was a possible target. I remember my mom coming to get me and her being so scared and I just didn’t understand in the moment.
what is a BP refinery?
@@maylyntran8842 BP gasoline makes gasoline for cars in my backyard
At first, it was unclear just how many attacks could be happening. Many bigger buildings in larger cities evacuated just in case. I was in middle school and we all went home to be with family
I heard the target list for that day was... WTC, Pentagon, & some random BP refinery in rural Indiana!!! It's a miracle you are alive today!!! 🙄🙄🙄
Heart breaking, tragic, moving, may those murdered on that day rest in eternal peace
I'm from outside the US and was only 10 years old when this happened. I don't think I really understood any of it at the time. I'm not sure if I was even told/otherwise learned about it. I sure have no recollection of it so it might be that my parents never brought it up. But I've been educating myself on the subject, especially very recently. And it's really heartbreaking. Some of the last phone calls and voice messages left me crying for a good while. All of it really affects me even though I didn't know any of the people personally affected by this. My heart's with everyone who either lost their lives or their loved ones.
I visited here back in April, I did not know that about the blue wall...was a very somber visit, but so glad I went
First off I just want to let everyone know that this comment is not about 9/11 but I will say rip to everyone who died but my real comment is asking Carl when he's going to be going back to 10 minute videos because I'm pretty sure he said that they go back to 10 minute videos in August and its September 11 so I hope you weren't lying Carl because I actually enjoy the 10 minute videos but besides that I hope that everyone who does possibly read this comment besides Carl azuz I hope you have a great rest of your day today and tomorrow.
thank you
@@chase9839 your welcome.
God Bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
i went this year and i loved it we need to pay respect to the loved ones who died in that tragic day
I was here, fir school trip, i dont know how to explain it, but has to be one of the few times ove teared up in public, someone can look at the stone and say, its just stone, but its so much more, this, this is a reminder, and a haunting one at that, every single artifact i looked at, i could feel the weigh and story behind every pebble, every truck, every artifact, i was in the maze going through the events, for any family who lost someone to this, im teribly sorry, im sorry that such an event occured that made things like this, but after leaving, i realized, this isnt the end, look around us, look at what we learned, look at how we hace grown stronger, this was one of the most emotional rides i have ever been on
21 years ago gone by so quick but never forget so horrible and sad day even is still shocking to watch today as when it happened 💔 rest in peace to all the victims
Horrific, an unimaginable nightmare for all those innocent people caught in this atrocity. I can still remember sitting at my desk in Stockport, England and a colleague leaning over a balcony and telling us all below what happened. The rest of my day was just a blur.
I wasn't even alive at the time. I have so much respect for those who died, those who fought, those who survived.
I was just a few months old at that time. My parents told me during the time on 9/11, they looked out their apartment window in Brooklyn and saw the smoke from the crash in the sky.
Just 2 days prior I was flew back to China to see my family and grow up there, which was crazy to me that I left so close towards 9/11.
we live in sad times and danger all around ,we need to keep eyes wide open and stay safe
take care all you are in my thoughts ❤️❤️❤️
Also very sad to the people dying in the Middle East
@@youfis12 And Ukraine
i am from Germany.
At that day and time, i was to little to witness/later remember what happend.
But my parents did. Everyone knew where they were. i talked about this many times with my parents.
After the memorial day, i came back and i am still shocked and can't describe the feelings.
one day i want to visit this museum to learn more about that day.
Thank you for the video. I´m from Germany and hopefully I can travel to New York in the future. My first visit would go to this museum. I still remember the day when the attacks happened and I won´t forget it.
Just to think about going to 9/11 memorial area and to think how big the wtc memorial pool looks, it made me realize how big 2 of the WTCs really is in person 😰
idk why i subject myself to newest first, it always ends in disappointment for humanity.
I just found this randomly in a short and holy cow did it blow my mind.. This is so out of the world... I think I was still a toddler/baby then....
You can take your age today, subtract the amount of time that has passed, and arrive at the actual age you were on that day!! Let me know if you want help with the math!
I wasn't alive when any of this happened, so I can't imagine something so harrowing occurring
RIP to all the victims and families affected. It's a truly heartbreaking event
i know you guys might think im making this up but im not, my dads uncle was in 9/11 and my dad told me "it was horrific, there was smoke everywhere you went and debris was falling down well also seeing poor people jump out of the towers" RIP all victims
That's nothing... my cousin's girlfriend's half brother's best friend said he took shelter in a coffee shop and watched the debris fly by the window!!!
This looks amazing! I'd love to visit someday!
i went there and it was so sad
I was born only months after the event and a few years later my mom told me about it and when she did I was outraged that anyone could do something like that but I was also saddened by the fact that so many families lost their loved ones
Whats with all of you morons and your need to tell everyone when you were born? It doesn't matter.
We miss you Carl Azuz!
What happened to him?
@@fuzeblitz6326 Idk!
@@aigriffin42604 I was just reading on it. It's saying he left CNN. I wonder why. I've always enjoyed watching him!
@@fuzeblitz6326theres a new world news channel that Carl Azuz is on.
@@fuzeblitz6326me too.
not being born yet, i can’t imagine witnessing/seeing this unfold.
i was in pottery/jewelry class in 8th grade when this happened. we did nothing but watch the news all day at school
You did nothing?? Didn't the clay dry out?? What a waste...
I was a high school student and lived in a small town in Hungary. I just came home from school and was watching tv when the news broke out. Something awful happened in New York. To be honest I was still naive and young to comprehend everything and from a small town in Hungary it looked distant. Then I saw the footage. I can still remember the presenter who said out loud what happened.
The older I get the more I care about this. I'll never understand why so many innocent people had to die. This, the London bombings, the 2015 Paris attacks and the Utoya shootings/Oslo bombings will forever haunt me.
I wanna go there someday .
Ok!
i wasnt alive at the time it happened, but I have heavy interest on learning about this tragic event, I'm very grateful to be able to go there and see history that had impacted me. i remember my history teacher showing the newspaper that the sun made about 9/11. Its crazy to think that this even even took place
It changed air travel forever. When you compare what it was like before and after it's crazy and of course it brought forth the Patriot Act and increased surveillance, which is why so many today get a bit paranoid. It's also shrouded in conspiracy theories, but anyone who was there that day or saw the news knows not to buy those tales. It was a dark day and no one knew what was happening. I was in school and the world really did go silent that day.
Nothing on film truly captures the horror as well as this museum. They hid nothing. Excellent showing and remembering every single life lost that day and the many years later of peoples lives lost because of the effects from that day
It looks so beautiful I wanna go there one day but 21 years is really crazy they didn’t deserve that😰💔🕊
It'll never make sense they chose to kill thousands and for what? What seemed like an endless war, their deaths? Being hunted until our SEAL teams finally found him? They wanted to make a point, but really all they did was prove again that the US military is one of the best funded in the world.
😭😭😭
Never forget..
Always love them all the victims..
❤️❤️❤️
God bless us..
🙏🙏🙏
🙌🙌🙌
I wasn't Even Born Yet When This Happened Now that I'm In High School I Still Never Forget That Day #NeverForget911
