What an awesome message to leave for his wife and family! He sounds like an amazing man. Rest in Peace, Brian and all the others that perished that horrific horrific day.
I really believe a higher power must have been keeping those people calm at that time..we imagine in hindsight that we would be hysterical and crying..but something about those passengers that day I hope God, or guardian angels were helping.
@@antoniafaheerty6980Not to lessen his fear, I'm sure he was scared and rightfully so, but I don't think he knew he was going to die. No hijacking until that point had ever been a suicide mission, so I doubt he was thinking they were going to crash it. The only passengers that knew they were going to die were the people on flight 93 and that is only because their flight was delayed taking off, and the people on the plane had relatives tell them about the WTC and the Pentagon when the passengers called to say they were hijacked.
Remember though he was also in the military which doesn’t mean any military member would be that calm but he flew jets it looks like so he probably has those jitters out his system. After the first 2 times I was shot at and mortared I became at peace with the fact that if it’s my time it’s my time and although every time after my adrenaline was rushing really high I would always think I wonder if the conversation I last had with my family would be enough. Not frantic but a talk with myself basically as I’m shooting and getting bullets returned at me. Maybe he was super religious and believed where he’s going was even better and he’d see her again. Or maybe he wanted to be strong since he knew she’d hear the message and frantic and rambling then dying is just too many blows to a person so he might have calmed himself before the call
Brian Sweeny was a great guy, a funny guy and I was lucky to spend a few years hanging out with him when we were both in our early 20s. I was down in NYC working for Gov. Pataki when the towers were struck. Later in the day I found out about Brian, and many year later I learned that this recording existed. I finally got the courage to track it down. Hearing his voice is haunting. Back when we hung out, he was in the process of getting back together with his girlfriend who later became Jules, his wife. I'll never forget driving Brian from Rochester to his family's home in Newton, Mass... It was during a very painful episode in his life and he didn't feel like talking about it. After about an hour, a Chicago song came on and, to break the silence, he began singing to it... "I'm so happy"... and then he just looked down and forced himself to laugh. I'll never forget that moment.
after over ten years from his death she still looks like she's about to break down crying every second now. That's true love. I'm so sorry you had to go through something like this and lose your husband, that's my biggest fear... Be strong.
Wouldn’t you also be sad I mean I want one just went down in one of the biggest buildings in the entire world to the point where all of New York City can hear their bodies hitting the ground
His calmness was incredible, this is a very powerful message he left for his wife, he is a very selfless man to make sure he contacted her to leave a beautiful and powerful message that she can hold onto and cherish. A true hero, what an incredible man.
A girl in the other airplane was trapped in one of the towers ( I think was Candida Doi) left a message very clear as well for her mother, the airplane was burning 2 floor below and she was in such a heat, even in that situation spell her mother last name and told the operator you are the best mother one can have, was very sad.
@@anamariagutierrez2019 So she survived being in an exploding plane after it slammed into a building? Just how freaking gullible and stupid are you morons! LMMFAO
It was Melissa Cándida "Missy" Doi and she works as a Financial manager at IQ Financial Systems on the 83rd floor of the South tower bldg. She is known for the recording of the 9-1-1 call she made during her final moments from inside the South Tower as it was engulfed in flames. The recording was used during the prosecution of Zacarias Moussaoui, the only criminal trial to result from the attacks. Her emotional conversation with emergency operator Barnes made several international headlines. It took three years for her remains to be found in the rubble. At the National 9/11 Memorial, Doi is memorialized at the South Pool, on Panel S-46.
He couldn’t have known it was going to be intentionally crashed into a building. Before that day, hijacked airlines were mainly for ransom and they usually flew the plane to another country
@@RYMAN1321 I'm not sure which plane this was from, but passengers on some planes received phone calls from loved ones informing them that a plane had hit the world trade centre. Some of the passengers were aware of their impending fate.
@@watchettv That sounds like it was from United 93, the fourth hijacked plane which ultimately crashed into the field in Shanksville PA after passengers on the plane fought back after hearing their loved ones on the phones tell them about the two planes that hit the WTC and Pentagon by that point. After hearing about the other three planes, they likely realized their plane was not going to be landed like prior hijackings.
Even in his voicemail you could tell he was a warrior. He didn’t let her hear how afraid he was. He wanted to remain calm so that she wouldn’t worry or have any indication of how bad his current situation was. You could tell he always put others before him and wanted to make others were good before he was. May you continue to rest, Brian. Sending love and light to all his loved ones and to all the families of victims of 9/11.
he would not be able to get line from the air back then for so long and even with the airplane phones this was not the priority while you try to save your life, especially not someone this strong looking, this was done in a hangar.
@@gabriellegermain1976If he was really a warrior why didn't he stop the plane from flying into the building? Apparently he was a pilot. He would have stopped the hijackers from taking over!
That was a beautiful thing he did for her, commendable of him. He wasn’t frazzled or manic, no selfishness, he calmly said goodbye and beautifully wished her well. The epitome of a man.
My husband was a fighter pilot in the Navy. I lost him 3 months ago today. I am not surprised by Brian, he was brave facing death, as was my husband. May they fly faster than ever, until we find them.
aif passenger did exist; they were, for sure, sent to god. But; what happens if god does not exist? Looking at this sham one can c that god did not punish anyone; guilty of this 'event'?
I don’t think he or the passengers knew it was going to be intentionally crashed. Before that day, hijacked planes were mainly held for ransom and flown to other countries. Crashing it into a building intentionally was completely unprecedented
@@RYMAN1321 Unfortunately, there were enough hints that something like that happening was only a matter of time. It shocked most of us that the US was so easy to attack in such a brazen way, but I can't say I was surprised that it happened. Some examples: the rumors that leaked out the Eiffel Tower was going to be hit in the 90s, I think it was. In the mid-90s there was a plot foiled involving many hijacked planes to be blown up. Then in the run-up to the Y2K celebrations there were leaks of the same sort of plot being planned. The 1993 attack on the WTC as well as the 1998 attack on the Cole meant that terrorism was a real threat to the US and wasn't kept hidden from citizens in security briefings reports. There were in fact contemporaneous news reports about all this, you just had to know where to look. Oh, and all of the thrillers that were written... if that man was in tune with pop culture or a voracious newspaper reader, he likely had an inkling.
The word you're looking for is bawling. Not balling. Balling either means "playing basketball" or "engaging in intercourse" neither of which is appropriate for the context.
My third cousin was on 175. He was travelling on vacation on a later flight but decided at the last minute that he wanted to be there for his sister’s birthday. So he made the life-ending decision to change to flight 175and crashed into the south tower. My mom saw him die on TV and our family tried calling his phone over and over again to no avail. Rest in peace, Herb.
I served together with LT Brian “Moose” Sweeney while we were stationed at NAS Miramar in the early 90s. He was a good dude. So effing calm, knowing that it wasn’t going to end well, and all he could think about was saying goodbye to Julie. RIP Moose…fair winds and following seas, shipmate.
@@peter58peter You're the idiot fool making fun of a person who is so obviously a good and strong person!!! What are you 10 years old? If it was you in that situation you would be pissing your pants in fear and don't deny the truth fool!!!
Jesus said - "I go to prepare a place for you". This gives me great comfort. We will all meet again when we go home. I'm so sorry for your loss. From Ireland ❤️
That was the BEST MESSAGE you could give someone dear when you know you're going to meet your end... he spoke those words so matter-of-fact and so calmly... what a MAN
His message is amazing he’s telling everyone to have move forward and have a good life and that he will see his wife in heaven one day. Boy I hope the afterlife is true.
Felt I needed to respond to your post. Jesus Christ told us all about the reality of both hell and heaven in great details. But most importantly, He told us that in order to get to heaven, we must become 'born again'. (see John 3:3) Other passages in the Bible explain what this means - it means that a person must first repent (turn away from the old sinful ways of living), and make a commitment to Jesus. Second, upon doing this, they need to have the Lord completely change their heart and way of thinking - this is what is referred to as 'born again.' Salvation is a free gift to anyone who asks for it - but they have to be willing to repent and acknowledge they can only get to heaven through Jesus (See John 14:6) Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about this.
It probably is not. There is no evidence for it. And I myself am very glad for it. Imagine dying and being conscious of your death and how everybody you ever loved is moving on without you and you have to experience that? In my opinion that is extremely cruel. People only think about being reunited with their loved ones but the excruciating torture of being ripped away to the next chapter is greatly underestimated I think. It’s what nightmares are made of. Please go and live life like it’s the only you know you’ll have. Knowing that it is temporary makes every moment count. It makes every little thing more special. And there is a certain comfort in knowing you don’t always have to exist. There comes a point when your work is done, and it’s time for others to take over. I don’t want to upset anyone by writing this. I just think the claims made by religion are potentially more harmful than helpful. Live nice lives everybody. And once in a while be amazed by people doing extraordinary things like Brian Sweeney.
@@Chirondebree I understand why you would be inclined to not believe in the afterlife based on what you have written. However, the Bible is clear that the things we see are temporary, while the things we cannot see are eternal (i.e. heaven and hell). When it comes to questions about the afterlife, we should pay attention to all that Jesus had to say about it. Given his track record of being 100% truthful, we should believe what he says about these matters. He has proven Himself to be credible in all things.
I always hated the idea of an afterlife ... imagine loosing your wife ... and you move on ... marry her sister, and then in the end ....you'll have to come with a good explanation in the afterlife when seeing your first wife back ... seems more like a nightmare to me.
On the flip side, the Bible does make reference to being both able to recognize people we know, as well as being able to recognize people we never met from different time periods. (i.e.) In Matthew 17, Peter was supernaturally able to recognize Moses and Elijah when they appeared while Jesus was transfigured before them. Moses and Elijah didn't live in the same time period as Peter, nor did they live in the same time period with one another. So to me, the thought of being able to worship the Lord with other Christians from other time periods, other locations, as well as with our former spouses / friends, is an exciting possibility that I look forward to.
My dad went to college with him played linebacker he played next to my dad at middle linebacker at BU he was a great linebacker they called him "Sweenes" strongest player on the team RIP to a great man

@@peter58peterIf you didn't know there was not just one hijacker there were 5 men who had knives and mace and a bomb supposedly. This made it impossible to win against them so don't act like you would have fought back and won because it was impossible as the whole thing happened so quickly. You need to go read up more on this subject because you obviously are ignorant of the real situation on these planes and are making a nuisance of yourself!!!
I haven't cried in a long time. 2020 has been too awful to cry. But that did it. Thank you Brian. Thank you to his wife for sharing it. How powerful. We'll see you when we get there.
My cousin Marianne Macfarlane died on flight 175 also, I highly admire this man, I never got to meet her since she was the 8th cousin in our generation family, she was 34 years old and lived with her beloved family (our relatives) She sat. In first class with those terrorists, it still bothers me no matter what. Brian Sweeney is a name that will not be forgotten. Marianne is an angel now✝️♥️
Still remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. So sad to hear what these good people had to go through. Glad to hear that the call helped her find some closure.
Stood in the 9/11 Memorial Museum this morning listening to Brian‘s message, too choked up to speak, tears down my cheeks. The sadness and bravery of that day still cuts deep all these years later.
Having heard the message he left in that situation, everything Julie said about him made sense. Brian was the kind of person we would all be lucky to meet even briefly.
“….And I’ll see you when you get there.” These words are everything! What a joyous reunion they will have one day in the future. May Brian David Sweeney continue to rest in love as he waits for his bride. ❤️🙏
Bro accepted his fate, most likely sent up a prayer to his Creator to welcome him and left a wholesome and calm message for his wife. Dude along with all the heroes on that day are LEGENDS. Holy crap this is tear jerker
It's that day again. And it's Day One again. Thank you Brian Sweeney and Julie Sweeney for sharing this a message of love and courage. I know he was talking to Julie. And, I believe he was talking to everyone else too. He's a model of how to act courageously. Who he was, how he thought, how he acted, what he said: inspirational.
20 years have passed and I still cry and feel deep emotional turmoil for all the victims. I will never forget where and what I was doing that day. It feels like yesterday..
It's very hard, knowing that the feeling of dying is immediate, you have the strength to call your loved ones to tell them you love them in a beautiful way to say goodbye.
Those words of Brians are the most wonderful, unselfish uplifting words i think i have ever heard. Thank you for sharing his message, i shall share them with people i care for, write them down and read them from time to time when i need inspiration or relief from sadness.
I can speak from experience that a recording of a loved one's voice who has passed away is even more powerful than a photograph. It really brings that person to life.
Jules, this was a moving testament to your husband. Thank you for sharing it. I am so sorry for your loss, but I am glad that you did as he asked. It was the best way to honor him, in living again after such a devastating loss. I know you will see him again and he will tell you how proud of you that he is.
17 years. No matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away. I know this much: that there is objective time, but also subjective time, the kind you wear on the inside of your wrist, next to where the pulse lies. And this personal time, which is the true time, is measured in your relationship to memory.
That was the first call I heard when I went to the 9/11 Museum. I was holding back a lot till I got to the phones part and then heard this message. I cried as if there was no one around.
If I were ever in a similar situation, this is the message I hope I would have the strength and clarity to give to my loved ones. Ultimately, regardless of religion, I love you. Be happy. I'll meet you again. Whether you will or won't see that person on the flip side, saying that is what matters. Allowing yourself to believe that while telling the people you love is all that matters. I am so struck by the calmness. You can tell he's a bit choked up, but he sounds so certain. I probably would be blubbering to the point no one could understand me. You never know who you truly are until you are in those positions. Thanks for sharing that very private piece of this good human being. I would never be able to share something like this. I hope sharing this has brought you some peace. I hope more so that people who have no sensitivity, have not attacked you or made a joke out it.
He couldn’t have known the plane was going to be intentionally crashed though. Before 9/11 hijacked planes were usually flown to another country and / or ransom was demanded
This is so beautiful. I mean even in the middle of this terrible situation he took the time to tell her that he loved her and he was in peace :( I admire the people, families and victims who faced this event :( my heart will always be with you and we won't ever forget
anniversary made me search this up , and wow , to be so stout in such a moment of panic and chaos and fear , is crazy I feel so bad for these people and the people it affected , if u haven’t u must go see the memorial in New York it’s very touching , man I love America I wish u all the best .
I think it was comforting that all those people on the plane were just in the situation together and it was easier to accept and they didn’t feel so alone in that situation. Lots of people left similar messages and calls. 😢
I would absolutely love to know why anyone would ever give this a thumbs down - you must truly be heartless - this had to be very hard for her to share with the world - a little reassurance and love from the worst day of the of her life - like so many others - compassion, faith, hope and LOVE - is what we all need more of! Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏🏻
There are so many accounts of people on their death bed seeing their deceased lover and stating, “(name) is here, he/she is here to take me home.” Then they pass... I believe they will be together again.
The way he wished her to go have good times when he was abt to pass... so selfless and loving, what a soul that was lost.

Bless her heart. I couldn’t imagine her pain and grief. She was the last person he thought of before he died and that’s to me true unconditional love.
I served together with LT Brian “Moose” Sweeney while we were stationed at NAS Miramar in the early 90s. He was a good dude. So effing calm, knowing that it wasn’t going to end well, and all he could think about was saying goodbye to Julie. RIP Moose…fair winds and following seas, shipmate.
U will see him again❤️
I was there that bad day from the scene when it crashed ✈ I was blocks from the scene. 😬😬
Many people from the 911 towers called their loved ones & tried to reassure them that they were OK ,& to tell them that they loved them .
@@lenanoro5427 📞 sad stuff too.
101%
@@dannyrichards6233 Wow!!! 🥺 Do you mind sharing your story?
Under enormous stress he thought of his wife and parents. What a gift to them and what a man - a hero really.
Yeah! Man! What a ero? Could not take care of one small arab?
@@peter58peter They had knives and said they had a bomb idiot!!! There was also more than 1 hijacker.
@@alinao1481 Thanks to idiots like yourself biggest idiots r doing whatever they want.
@@peter58peter You're the idiot fool making fun of a person who is so obviously a good and strong person!!! What are you 10 years old? If it was you in that situation you would be pissing your pants in fear and don't deny the truth fool!!!
“I’ll see you when you get there” absolutely broke my heart cuz I know he was talking about heaven… soul crushing..
I watch this every 9/11 to remind me what's important in life. Truly powerful. Rip to everyone lost that day
Jesus said - "I go to prepare a place for you". This gives me great comfort. We will all meet again when we go home. I'm so sorry for your loss. From Ireland ❤️
That was the BEST MESSAGE you could give someone dear when you know you're going to meet your end... he spoke those words so matter-of-fact and so calmly... what a MAN
ero is a ero is a ero.
“I’ll see you when you get there” omfg that broke my heart! He’s definitely waiting for her in a better place!
His message is amazing he’s telling everyone to have move forward and have a good life and that he will see his wife in heaven one day. Boy I hope the afterlife is true.
Felt I needed to respond to your post. Jesus Christ told us all about the reality of both hell and heaven in great details. But most importantly, He told us that in order to get to heaven, we must become 'born again'. (see John 3:3) Other passages in the Bible explain what this means - it means that a person must first repent (turn away from the old sinful ways of living), and make a commitment to Jesus. Second, upon doing this, they need to have the Lord completely change their heart and way of thinking - this is what is referred to as 'born again.' Salvation is a free gift to anyone who asks for it - but they have to be willing to repent and acknowledge they can only get to heaven through Jesus (See John 14:6) Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about this.
It probably is not. There is no evidence for it. And I myself am very glad for it. Imagine dying and being conscious of your death and how everybody you ever loved is moving on without you and you have to experience that? In my opinion that is extremely cruel. People only think about being reunited with their loved ones but the excruciating torture of being ripped away to the next chapter is greatly underestimated I think. It’s what nightmares are made of.
Please go and live life like it’s the only you know you’ll have. Knowing that it is temporary makes every moment count. It makes every little thing more special. And there is a certain comfort in knowing you don’t always have to exist. There comes a point when your work is done, and it’s time for others to take over.
I don’t want to upset anyone by writing this. I just think the claims made by religion are potentially more harmful than helpful.
Live nice lives everybody. And once in a while be amazed by people doing extraordinary things like Brian Sweeney.
@@Chirondebree I understand why you would be inclined to not believe in the afterlife based on what you have written. However, the Bible is clear that the things we see are temporary, while the things we cannot see are eternal (i.e. heaven and hell). When it comes to questions about the afterlife, we should pay attention to all that Jesus had to say about it. Given his track record of being 100% truthful, we should believe what he says about these matters. He has proven Himself to be credible in all things.
I always hated the idea of an afterlife ... imagine loosing your wife ... and you move on ... marry her sister, and then in the end ....you'll have to come with a good explanation in the afterlife when seeing your first wife back ... seems more like a nightmare to me.
On the flip side, the Bible does make reference to being both able to recognize people we know, as well as being able to recognize people we never met from different time periods. (i.e.) In Matthew 17, Peter was supernaturally able to recognize Moses and Elijah when they appeared while Jesus was transfigured before them. Moses and Elijah didn't live in the same time period as Peter, nor did they live in the same time period with one another. So to me, the thought of being able to worship the Lord with other Christians from other time periods, other locations, as well as with our former spouses / friends, is an exciting possibility that I look forward to.
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible message. It is very generous of you. I hope you are trying your best to "have good times" in his honor.
This is sweet. And ditto.
❤️❤️❤️
I think she is. She got married couple of years later and they Celebrate Bryan to this day.
@@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi that sucks. I’d be heartbroken if my wife remarried ever, personally. Idk, maybe that’s just me.
@@RedCandles_ how could u be heartbroken if ur dead. at least she’s happy which is exactly what he’d have wanted
My dad went to college with him played linebacker he played next to my dad at middle linebacker at BU he was a great linebacker they called him "Sweenes" strongest player on the team RIP to a great man
Chase Moylan did Sween go into the Navy?
Mick Funny Air Force
Chase MoY BU is for Baylor right?
Did he go by Zion back then also??
Chad TV great, my dad is bill gates.
“i’ll see you when you get here” sends me to tears everytime.
This message hit different listening to it in 2020 :'(
It’s hits harder in 2021 :(
It’s always difficult to listen to...
....and I’ve heard it many times in 20 years
@@evearcana2392 I newer knew that these messages exist? utube was loaded with computer refined films... And, I remember; when government said that they will release some of the recordings... Yet; U've listened to these from day #1?
This guy to bravery to another level..cool calm and collected.he knew what he wanted to say and delivered it perfectly..under the worst circumstances not an easy thing to do.Legend R.I.P
Yeah! Maan! ero after ero. Minus that latino that was called William Rodriguez, I think?
@@peter58peter Idiot!!! You would probably be pissing your pants in a situation like that!!!
@@alinao1481 Of course I would, Real hero, senor Williams, would do same thing... Minus u with your president and rest of mafia.
@@peter58peterIf you didn't know there was not just one hijacker there were 5 men who had knives and mace and a bomb supposedly. This made it impossible to win against them so don't act like you would have fought back and won because it was impossible as the whole thing happened so quickly. You need to go read up more on this subject because you obviously are ignorant of the real situation on these planes and are making a nuisance of yourself!!!
@@alinao1481 Just reread yourself. Actually; don't. Cause; u wont understand it.
I can't believe how calm he sounds.. like he was thinking more of her than himself at that moment. May he continue to rest in peace 🤍
It's a frame
@@roynorman3650 very good. The problem is you are talking to sheeple.
@@michelleper5065 That's what they could count on.
an example of a true stoic right here. A man that can remain calm in times of terror is a powerful human being.
"I'll see you when you get there". That hits hard.
Makes me want 2 cry. An a angel left a message he is still watching over his loved ones
I cried at "... I absolutely love you ..." and wanting her to have a good life.
I haven't cried in a long time. 2020 has been too awful to cry. But that did it.
Thank you Brian.
Thank you to his wife for sharing it.
How powerful.
We'll see you when we get there.
I listen to this every year. Thank you for sharing.
"And i'll see you when you get there."
Im sobbing.
My cousin Marianne Macfarlane died on flight 175 also, I highly admire this man, I never got to meet her since she was the 8th cousin in our generation family, she was 34 years old and lived with her beloved family (our relatives) She sat. In first class with those terrorists, it still bothers me no matter what. Brian Sweeney is a name that will not be forgotten. Marianne is an angel now✝️♥️
horrific but not for the reason you think, it is very sad this was pulled on you and yours.
I'm sorry to hear that.
It's awful what happened that day,.
Are you with the families suing Saudi Arabia for This?
Still remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. So sad to hear what these good people had to go through. Glad to hear that the call helped her find some closure.
Stood in the 9/11 Memorial Museum this morning listening to Brian‘s message, too choked up to speak, tears down my cheeks. The sadness and bravery of that day still cuts deep all these years later.
Having heard the message he left in that situation, everything Julie said about him made sense. Brian was the kind of person we would all be lucky to meet even briefly.
May God bless Julie Sweeney and RIP Brian Sweeney.🔩
“….And I’ll see you when you get there.”
These words are everything! What a joyous reunion they will have one day in the future. May Brian David Sweeney continue to rest in love as he waits for his bride. ❤️🙏
What if he found someone else up there, by now?
Bro accepted his fate, most likely sent up a prayer to his Creator to welcome him and left a wholesome and calm message for his wife. Dude along with all the heroes on that day are LEGENDS. Holy crap this is tear jerker
It's that day again. And it's Day One again. Thank you Brian Sweeney and Julie Sweeney for sharing this a message of love and courage. I know he was talking to Julie. And, I believe he was talking to everyone else too. He's a model of how to act courageously. Who he was, how he thought, how he acted, what he said: inspirational.
Very touching message. He is surely in Heaven for being a wonderful brave man.
I'M a 56 yo man and I still tear up when I see video of this.
A heartbreaking message from a truly unique and brave man. It still brings tears to my eyes each time I hear it.
He’s an Angel 🥺❤️
I watched this so many times
20 years have passed and I still cry and feel deep emotional turmoil for all the victims. I will never forget where and what I was doing that day. It feels like yesterday..
😅😂😅😂
Allah is God.
Such amazing bravery. Sad memories of that awful day today . Strength to all those still being affected
This is all so heartbreaking.
you ate blessed to have his voice with you. many survivor relatives were left with a gaping holes of grief no final words, no chances to say goodbye.
Wow... his calmness was incredible.... chilling!
american way; one might say.
Imagine what Brian had to go through during that flight.he surely loved his family more than anything else
What a beautiful soul he was. God Bless his Family and friends.
Yeah! god's checking messages and going around blessing...
It's very hard, knowing that the feeling of dying is immediate, you have the strength to call your loved ones to tell them you love them in a beautiful way to say goodbye.
This man was truly amazing.
Yeah! Maaan! Just wishing; ero, that he was, could not give good smack to that arab and put him in his place?
Those words of Brians are the most wonderful, unselfish uplifting words i think i have ever heard. Thank you for sharing his message, i shall share them with people i care for, write them down and read them from time to time when i need inspiration or relief from sadness.
I can speak from experience that a recording of a loved one's voice who has passed away is even more powerful than a photograph. It really brings that person to life.
All these years later it still makes my heart ache for those people and their families.
That is such a beautiful message. He just knew he needed to reassure you so that you would both be ok.
Jules, this was a moving testament to your husband. Thank you for sharing it. I am so sorry for your loss, but I am glad that you did as he asked. It was the best way to honor him, in living again after such a devastating loss. I know you will see him again and he will tell you how proud of you that he is.
Ufufufufufuffuff... I hope to that, so far; she had plenty of lovers?
Thank you for sharing his beautiful message with over 2 million people.
He was so calm in that voicemail, wow, admirable! I’m sure she cherishes this forever and ever!
17 years. No matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away. I know this much: that there is objective time, but also subjective time, the kind you wear on the inside of your wrist, next to where the pulse lies. And this personal time, which is the true time, is measured in your relationship to memory.
All this time later it still hurts to know this was my mother’s friend she grew up with that she lost that day.
Look at this! Guy was real? Guy did place calm phone call? Another person which knew him personally? After all these years?
heart breaking AND heart opening.
I will never be numb to the heartbreak of this day. I will never get used to hearing these stories and not feel deep sorrow 💔
"I'll see you when you get there" - tears in my eyes 💔😢
Wow. I've been married 36 years this December and I can't even imagine what this must have been like.
He was so calm, so surreal . She’s so lucky to have gotten that message 💘💘💘
Yeah! Maaan! Just about: unbelivable?
Done in the studio.
That was the first call I heard when I went to the 9/11 Museum. I was holding back a lot till I got to the phones part and then heard this message. I cried as if there was no one around.
I can't even imagine hearing a voice message like that or even talking to someone on those flights...RIP to all who died :-(
If I were ever in a similar situation, this is the message I hope I would have the strength and clarity to give to my loved ones. Ultimately, regardless of religion, I love you. Be happy. I'll meet you again.
Whether you will or won't see that person on the flip side, saying that is what matters. Allowing yourself to believe that while telling the people you love is all that matters. I am so struck by the calmness. You can tell he's a bit choked up, but he sounds so certain. I probably would be blubbering to the point no one could understand me. You never know who you truly are until you are in those positions. Thanks for sharing that very private piece of this good human being. I would never be able to share something like this. I hope sharing this has brought you some peace. I hope more so that people who have no sensitivity, have not attacked you or made a joke out it.
The world needs more people like him in this world
RIP Brian
Yeah! Maaan! To talk calmly while being killed?
@@peter58peter He had a chance to rehearse a few tines before they recorded him. The planning was epic to pull this off.
“I’ll see you when you get there” 💔💔💔
That just broke me.
He was calm in this situation during their last moments peoples phones blowing up to answering machines and loved ones.God Bless you all💐
He couldn’t have known the plane was going to be intentionally crashed though.
Before 9/11 hijacked planes were usually flown to another country and / or ransom was demanded
May they all Rest In Peace! Broke my heart
This is so beautiful. I mean even in the middle of this terrible situation he took the time to tell her that he loved her and he was in peace :( I admire the people, families and victims who faced this event :( my heart will always be with you and we won't ever forget
Notice the call were unusually calm.

anniversary made me search this up , and wow , to be so stout in such a moment of panic and chaos and fear , is crazy I feel so bad for these people and the people it affected , if u haven’t u must go see the memorial in New York it’s very touching , man I love America I wish u all the best .
I hope i call you...jesus. Thats so sad. Just imagine you are him....
"I absolutely love you" rips the heart out of my chest every time I hear.
I think it was comforting that all those people on the plane were just in the situation together and it was easier to accept and they didn’t feel so alone in that situation. Lots of people left similar messages and calls. 😢
They did? Can u post some; after all these years?
It was powerful enough to reduce this grown man of 52.... to tears.... unimaginable receiving that VM.... but....a blessing....
R.I.P to a brave man.
Thank you Lady for sharing your message with us.
I would absolutely love to know why anyone would ever give this a thumbs down - you must truly be heartless - this had to be very hard for her to share with the world - a little reassurance and love from the worst day of the of her life - like so many others - compassion, faith, hope and LOVE - is what we all need more of! Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏🏻
Brian, you’re an absolutely amazing man, so brave and selfless and unbelievably strong. The human spirit is amazing.
There are so many accounts of people on their death bed seeing their deceased lover and stating, “(name) is here, he/she is here to take me home.” Then they pass...
I believe they will be together again.
MORPHINE IS A HELL OF A DRUG ..🤡🤡😂😂😂😂😂
Just... heartbreaking 😢💔💫
