You also have to realize that a lot of people there at the game and around the US were at school when 9/11 took place, and the teachers and school staff put it on the TV and immediately you see something so catastrophic, with people crying, and seeing what we thought were just objects being thrown out of the towers and later realizing it was people, it instilled a DEEP hatred. I was in the 1st grade and still remember it.
I was born shortly after 9/11 and whenever I talked to friends family and teachers even though they held no anger or contempt’s whatsoever towards Arabic and Muslim students they still held large distaste and hatred towards the Middle East
I was a senior in high school in study hall during second period. My entire high school was called to the auditorium and we watched it on the jumbo screen. Also, had a good amount of guys sign up for the military after that and go off to war after high school.
Pretty much the point I was going to make. The emotional scar was deep, especially with young people and those from New York. I'm a relatively well-educated and extremely liberal person -- a suit-wearing accountant with a master's degree -- but the image of those people jumping made me nearly blind with fury -- and, to this very day, it still does. -- a former US Army parachute infantryman
You’re weird. Where in the world do you think that definitely real commercial flights went? All those people hanging out in Guatemala or something?

Glad that human waste pile is dead.
American here. At 9 years old I watched the second plane hit live that morning while in the library at school. None of my other classmates saw it or knew what was going on because I went up to the counter to try and exchange a book I didn't like after our teacher had specifically told us to stay at the tables and read. I remember it like it was yesterday. The teacher, librarian, or librarian assistant never knew I was there until after we all watched the second plane impact and they started crying and turned around to see me standing there, book in hand, watching it with them. It's not something you can ever forget. Just like the amount of relief and pure happiness I felt nearly a decade later in college that night when the news broke that we got him.
I can totally relate, when I was 10 years old they announced over the speaker in the classroom that President Kennedy had been shot. I went home and was glued to the TV watching all that transpired. The next time I experienced those kind of traumatic feelings was watching the events unfold on 9/11. My whole body shaking as I watched the second tower crumble to the ground. I don't think I ever before in my life felt joy at the death of another human being, but I cried and was so relieved that he was gone.
5th grade homeroom, Ms Stevens. Hated her but she was obviously different that day. we didn't even eat lunch, everyone in the school watched the news coverage all day. I don't remember much from my child hood but that day sticks out

Seeing this video took me back to that night, bartending at a sports bar, seeing President Obama's news conference and not only crying myself but witnessing grown ass men and women with tears of joy and tears of remembrance streaming down their faces. It truly was an amazing event. 🇺🇸💜
I remember this so clearly!! My son was in the military somewhere he couldn't tell me, I cried so hard and I dropped to my knees and prayed for every member of our military!! It's something I'll never forget!! Thank you to all our fantastic military men and women and thank you to all our veterans, you make us so proud and grateful!!
I bought my local newspaper the next day and saved it, the headline read,"WE GOT HIM!" As a Marine Corps Veteran nobody from Oklahoma, thank you, Salute!
No Marine Corps Veteran is a nobody. Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🏴🏴….from the wife of a veteran Navy Corpsman who served with the Marine Corps in Vietnam and in this country. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🏴🏴
Exactly. My dad who served literally has this small US flag sticker on the back of his truck from years ago. It was recently ripped off and replaced with a sticker that said retard, people are fricking ridiculous
If you think we were united for this you probably also think one of the two primary parties has your best interests. Two party system has been a garbage propaganda war for over 100 years and neither side cares about the people while all of us lose.
I remember being in like 6th grade and my dad who’s also a diehard Mets fan, went running down the street cheering and telling everyone. I’ll never forget it
I was in a semi-coma on a ventilator that day. By the time I came back to awareness, nearly a month later, it was old news. I didn’t find out about it for nearly a month after that, when one of the nurses casually referred to it and I nearly fell out of bed in shock.
Its probably not worth a video reaction but watching the Boston Bruins National Anthem after the Boston Bombing still resonates with me to this day as much as this video.
@@maxg8651 that speech made Papi a icon here and I'll never forget it. Obviously a legendary talent on the field with the clutch hits but that speech hits me every time I hear it
Have you ever seen Lilian Garcia, of the WWE sing the National Anthem on the Thursday after 9-11? Talk about stirring....... here is the clip th-cam.com/video/XzGDWaKBtIc/w-d-xo.html
I remember this day exactly, was surfing the web and the news started blowing up. My dad and step mom were down stairs watching tv. I said did you hear? they're like what? Osama Bin Laden is dead. I then drove to my friends house 30 miles away. I got a subway sandwich so I asked the girl did you hear the news? She's like no what. We killed Osama. Was such a good day, never felt more happy about another person's death in all my life, and hope I never will again.
I just wish the world was like this in general. It’s a beautiful site to see this and it makes me emotional every time because you’re never used to seeing so many people unite as one without any problems.
I just watched the Boat story about 9/11. I was reminded that this year will be 20 years. I think most of us who were kids in the US remember exactly where we were and what we did when hearing about the first tower being hit. And thanks to Channel 1 news I think we all watched the second tower actually get hit.
Y’all gotta react to the zero dark thirty raid scene next. It’s a relatively accurate depiction of the raid and one of the most intense climaxes of a movie I’ve seen due to its real-life equivalent’s significance.
Been a life long Phillies fan and I still remember this night so vividly. Watching this video always gets me. I was 21 when 9/11 happened and living in south jersey it was very close to home. We were caught eight in the middle of all the terror and living outside Philly and the nations original capital, we thought we may be next. I watched the second plane hit, I could smell smoke in the air hours after the towers collapsed, just a crazy day, so when we finally got this bastard and it unfolded the way it did, well it’s a night I’ll certainly never forget
Valentine WAS the Mets coach. Good call. He will always be remembered as the guy that got ejected and tried to sneak back into the dugout with a fake nose and mustache. 🤣
I remember when Bin Laden died. My sister called me and told me she heard Osama Bin Laden was dead and when I turned on the news, people were celebrating in front of the White House.
Great reaction. I remember this night well. It would be great if you guys reacted to the “BOATLIFT, an untold tale of 9/11”. It’s such an inspiring story of people coming together during a crisis.
I remember the people in my neighborhood coming out into the streets in the middle of the night to chant and cheer and hug our neighbors. What amazing sense of unity we had that day.
It's particularly special since Mets fans and Phillies fans are such bitter rivals. And since the cities are so close, you regularly have fans of both teams at the game.
There are only two days of the year when there are NO events from the “big four” sports scheduled. The day before and the day after the MLB All-Star game.
You were absolutely right. Bobby Valentine was the manager of the New York Mets, as well as the Texas Rangers & my Boston Red Sox. Great review guys! Thank You...
@@sherryarflin726 fair enough. I’ve known for the longest time that a movie about it existed and I always meant to watch it just never found a way. But I’m sure I’ll find some way. Thank you though for the title.
I wish I was old enough to remember when all that happened. I was 9 and I don’t remember a single thing, no one talked about it at school, didn’t watch the news, and my family didn’t talk about it. But it’s nice to watch videos like these
Idk what Brits or Europeans think about this. I was born after 9/11 and I had friends about about 20 years later join the army and die in a war that was started before they were born. One of the last things I said to one of them was “ur an idiot for signing up for a war to die in that is older than you”. His funeral was a very sad day.
This is the first time I heard about the sports game, I'm not a sports person, but to see everyone coming together, and wishing we could do the same now with how divided things seem to be, just really makes you think.
@@jeffwebster402 it's not really just a feeling, it's just reality. The line between good and evil isn't always that clear and the one man's terrorist is indeed another man's hero. Washington was a traitor and an oath breaker. That's a fact in the British perspective. Also good doesn't always win. Lots of terrorists and tyrants live to a ripe old age. Lots of injustice goes unpunished and unknown. That isn't a feeling or opinion, it's's reality.
@@projectc.j.j3310 the United States supported Bin Laden and his kind when they were fighting other. I guess that means the US supported evil for it's own gain.
Yes, Bobby Valentine was the Texas Rangers coach and then went on to coach the NY Mets. He had a restaraunt in Arlington, TX for many years called Bobby V's.
Lol im sorry if you were confused by my wording. Of course you are also wrong if you want to be technical. (Clearly you do) He was the “field manager” of the Mets. Lol all that free time and this is how you spend it. Lol
@@ayerox - You aren't American, I guess. No problem. Or you don't follow baseball. In the pros, in college, in high school, the leader of the team is ALWAYS "the manager." Just "the manager." Never the "field manager." I don't know where you got, maybe from some faulty translation from English?
11:40 yeah, Bobby Valentine was the NY Mets manager for a while. Late 90s, early 2000s. The moment a lot of people remember him for was when he got ejected from a game, but came back into the dugout with fake mustache and sunglasses on as a disguise... lol
I was in college and when I found out I ran into my roommates room and threw him a beer and yelled they finally got him and he instantly knew who him was. Watching this makes me tear up. It will be weird explaining all this to my 2 year old when the time comes.
I remember that particular night as something that started out as a normal time as a soldier returning from Afghanistan after a year long deployment. I didn’t realize what just happened as far as the news until we had landed in Canada for a layover to get fuel and then back home. When we were on the ground and heard the news we all had made calls home to see if our families had heard the news about Osama Bin Laden. We were really excited about the news and then felt a huge sigh of relief about no longer feeling such a sense of urgency to get the person responsible for so many of us either joining the military and then being able to accomplish our main goal of getting rid of the biggest threat that we faced.
Americans are still one of the most patriotic group of people in the world tbh. Is just that they are no longer viewing their country with rose colored glasses... but there is a quote in tough love for that.
11:25 Bobby Valentine was the Mets manager from '96-'02, so he wasn't the manager during this game, but he was on 9/11. He also played for them in the '70s
You guys need to react to the american national Anthem story. It called American national anthem like you never heard it. It will bring tears to your eyes
I remember I woke up my kids so they could see that. I felt it was important for them to understand what happened live and not just from books. Almost an hour of questioning followed, which I was happy to answer.
I'll never forget watching the Philadelphia Phillies-New York Mets game as news started to get out, had gotten a text from a friend saying what happened
I was 7 years old when 9/11 happened and watched it all happen live on tv. I always remember those two moments as an American because of how they brought us all together as Americans. I wish we lived eachother now as much as we did post 9/11 and during this moment.
As a Pennsylvanian, we were right in the middle of the bombings on that day. One of those planes went down here and one in New York, not to leave out the loss in D.C.. Watching this is giving me chills all over again.
I remember this! I was at home and people were setting fireworks off in our neighborhood! I was younger but, I still remember vividly the atmosphere of the nation weeks after that. We weren’t divided by our race or political party we were UNIFIED by our grief and pride. Really wish we could get back to that! 🇺🇸+🇬🇧=❤️
What really amazes me is this was the night of the White House Correspodent's dinner, where the President usually goes up and cracks some jokes. Obama went to that, did it, went to the Situation Room, oversaw the operation, then went out and announced it.
President Obama said he would get Bin Laden and he did. I don't care what one thinks of him politically but that was a promise to the American people he kept.
@@xoxxobob61 Yep. I remember there was a 3-way debate between Obama, Hillary and John McCain in 2008. One of the questions put to them was "if Bin Laden were found in an allied country, would you send a unit in to get him?" Obama was the only one who said "yes." The story in the media for the next week was about him being politically naive for saying that...
Actually, the dinner was the night before, but yes, same achievement just in a few more hours. What is so wild about that weekend is that was the WHC dinner where Obama roasted trump after trump started the whole birther thing. Trump just sat there and sulked and then the next night the breaking news of Obama's upcoming speech kept interrupting the Celebrity Apprentice. You just KNOW trump boiled when he saw the announcement. Poetic justice. If only it had lasted.
This actually happened when I was in basic training. I can still here the reaction of my Drill Sargeants when the news reached us. We where in the middle of a 7 day field op and it was a celebration in the woods of Georgia.
I remember the news broke in the middle of the night in the states and it was like a nationwide party no joke. Probably the last time collectively we were United and it was special man.. hard to explain 🇺🇸
We weren't watching baseball, but literally the moment we heard, our neighborhood all came out and were erupting in chants of u.s.a. u.s.a.. It was maybe one of the most happy emotional nights of my life, that didn't directly effect my family or friends specifically, except those who were overseas.
There was one more event going on, WWE had a show going. Mind you, it isn't as big as a baseball game. But I was watching it and at the end of it John Cena announced to the crowd that US killed Bin Laden. It was pretty awesome to see.
When you guys were discussing the viral speed of news it reminded me of the 1980 Dolphins vs Patriots game in which the control booth was notified of John Lennon's death. Howard Cosell and the guys in the booth were debating whether they should or even could announce the news to the stadium crowd.
"Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list, and the Statue of Liberty started shakin her fist, and an eagle will fly, and it's gonna be hell. When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell, and it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down in you... brought to you courtesy, of the red white and blue!"
I remember being confused, being Muslim and hating the guy for bringing negative slander against our religion, but then at the same time being in school and getting side eyes and kids joking if I was upset about it 😒 shit was weird and kind of wanted the news to get old fast. any good person is happy when a bad person goes down.
Best birthday present I’ve ever received from a person I don’t necessarily like. “Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.” I’ll never forget how proud I was that day.
I was on a cross country road trip vacation from DC to San Francisco when the news came in. I saw the newspaper when I was in Yosemite national park in California. The trip was 8,400 miles. Southern route there and the northern route back...unforgettable experience
I love baseball but only watch a few games a year, and this happens to be a game I was watching. This was memorable and amazing to be watching and realizing what was happening with all there people.
As an American and someone mixed with Middle Eastern and Muslim blood this moment was emotional. I remember watching it on TV with some friends and we all just started crying. It was just a big moment for us to move on from 911.
I found it serendipitous that the two teams playing that night were from New York and Pennsylvania, two of the three states where the events of 9/11 took place. So the reaction from the crowd was even more understandable! In a way, it was able to give much needed closure.
Let me just say that, I live in South Philly where the stadium is at, I am about 3 miles away from it, and I very vividly remembering that sunday night the USA chants echoing from the stadium, it was that loud. I was outside working on my car and from hearing the echos of the USA chant to people honking their horn and shouting USA in the neighborhood, it was a fucking uniting celebration. I was in english class in highschool when the attack happened, my teacher turned the TV on and my fellow students watched the tower falling. It made some of us cry and many of us were speechless.
This video gets me emotional, one of the last times we were truly all united as Americans
There were no political parties, no race, no division, everyone celebrated in unison that the individual who killed so many of our people was finally put down. Truly hope we can reach that level of unity again

Seeing this video took me back to that night, bartending at a sports bar, seeing President Obama's news conference and not only crying myself but witnessing grown ass men and women with tears of joy and tears of remembrance streaming down their faces. It truly was an amazing event. 🇺🇸💜
I remember this so clearly!! My son was in the military somewhere he couldn't tell me, I cried so hard and I dropped to my knees and prayed for every member of our military!! It's something I'll never forget!!
Thank you to all our fantastic military men and women and thank you to all our veterans, you make us so proud and grateful!!
I bought my local newspaper the next day and saved it, the headline read,"WE GOT HIM!" As a Marine Corps Veteran nobody from Oklahoma, thank you, Salute!
No Marine Corps Veteran is a nobody. Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🏴🏴….from the wife of a veteran Navy Corpsman who served with the Marine Corps in Vietnam and in this country. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🏴🏴
If only we could re capture that moment as Americans instead of being shitty to each other based on flags and stickers.
Exactly. My dad who served literally has this small US flag sticker on the back of his truck from years ago. It was recently ripped off and replaced with a sticker that said retard, people are fricking ridiculous
If we were united at all times nothing could stop us.
God had to nerf us to make things fair for everyone else.
If you think we were united for this you probably also think one of the two primary parties has your best interests. Two party system has been a garbage propaganda war for over 100 years and neither side cares about the people while all of us lose.
@@derpderpin1568 Bingo. The elites want us to be at each other's throats, and here we are. #ClassSolidarity
@@derpderpin1568 third parties still coping and seething I see
I remember being in like 6th grade and my dad who’s also a diehard Mets fan, went running down the street cheering and telling everyone. I’ll never forget it
I was in a semi-coma on a ventilator that day. By the time I came back to awareness, nearly a month later, it was old news. I didn’t find out about it for nearly a month after that, when one of the nurses casually referred to it and I nearly fell out of bed in shock.
I was in the middle of an argument with my dad when both of our phones pinged with the info, we immediately hugged and cheered!
Its probably not worth a video reaction but watching the Boston Bruins National Anthem after the Boston Bombing still resonates with me to this day as much as this video.
I always loved David Ortiz’s speech to the city.
“This is our fucking City!”
@@maxg8651 that speech made Papi a icon here and I'll never forget it. Obviously a legendary talent on the field with the clutch hits but that speech hits me every time I hear it
Have you ever seen Lilian Garcia, of the WWE sing the National Anthem on the Thursday after 9-11? Talk about stirring....... here is the clip th-cam.com/video/XzGDWaKBtIc/w-d-xo.html
I remember this day exactly, was surfing the web and the news started blowing up. My dad and step mom were down stairs watching tv. I said did you hear? they're like what? Osama Bin Laden is dead. I then drove to my friends house 30 miles away. I got a subway sandwich so I asked the girl did you hear the news? She's like no what. We killed Osama. Was such a good day, never felt more happy about another person's death in all my life, and hope I never will again.
I was at that game, the parking lot was a party afterwards.
After 10 years it still brings tears to my eyes
I just wish the world was like this in general. It’s a beautiful site to see this and it makes me emotional every time because you’re never used to seeing so many people unite as one without any problems.
I just watched the Boat story about 9/11. I was reminded that this year will be 20 years. I think most of us who were kids in the US remember exactly where we were and what we did when hearing about the first tower being hit. And thanks to Channel 1 news I think we all watched the second tower actually get hit.
Y’all gotta react to the zero dark thirty raid scene next. It’s a relatively accurate depiction of the raid and one of the most intense climaxes of a movie I’ve seen due to its real-life equivalent’s significance.
Saw it in theaters it was awesome
Probably can't. It'll get copyrighted immediately.
Patriotism always gets me emotional.
Thanks for the cool reaction my UK bloke neighbors. 👍 USA, USA, USA. 🇺🇸
Been a life long Phillies fan and I still remember this night so vividly. Watching this video always gets me. I was 21 when 9/11 happened and living in south jersey it was very close to home. We were caught eight in the middle of all the terror and living outside Philly and the nations original capital, we thought we may be next. I watched the second plane hit, I could smell smoke in the air hours after the towers collapsed, just a crazy day, so when we finally got this bastard and it unfolded the way it did, well it’s a night I’ll certainly never forget
The men on the field we're clueless... At my house we went outside and celebrated with our neighbors fireworks pots pans clanging in the night...
Valentine WAS the Mets coach. Good call. He will always be remembered as the guy that got ejected and tried to sneak back into the dugout with a fake nose and mustache. 🤣
I remember when Bin Laden died. My sister called me and told me she heard Osama Bin Laden was dead and when I turned on the news, people were celebrating in front of the White House.
Great reaction. I remember this night well. It would be great if you guys reacted to the “BOATLIFT, an untold tale of 9/11”. It’s such an inspiring story of people coming together during a crisis.
I remember the people in my neighborhood coming out into the streets in the middle of the night to chant and cheer and hug our neighbors. What amazing sense of unity we had that day.
It's particularly special since Mets fans and Phillies fans are such bitter rivals. And since the cities are so close, you regularly have fans of both teams at the game.
I was home watching my Phillies play the hated Mets when this happened. I'll never forget it.
This gave me chills
I love my country
And I love when we’re United.
My dad was at the game. He said it was one of the most electric moments he's ever witnessed.
There are only two days of the year when there are NO events from the “big four” sports scheduled. The day before and the day after the MLB All-Star game.
I was two days out of navy basic training. We celebrated in the barracks.
I was working security at the local hospital and they announced it over the p.a. and everyone started cheering on every floor.
You were absolutely right. Bobby Valentine was the manager of the New York Mets, as well as the Texas Rangers & my Boston Red Sox. Great review guys! Thank You...
The movie about the hunt and killing of Bin Laden is called “Zero Dark Thirty” it is well worth the watch.
Do you know if this is on any streaming services by chance?
I don’t Ethan. It comes on tv a lot so I would think you wouldn’t have a hard time finding it. It’s certainly worth watching.
@@sherryarflin726 fair enough. I’ve known for the longest time that a movie about it existed and I always meant to watch it just never found a way. But I’m sure I’ll find some way. Thank you though for the title.
One of my favorite movies
I was at work when this went down and we stopped production chanting/cheering was a wonderful feeling
I was watching WWE Extreme Rules, and my cousin called me and said, "We got that bitch," right before Cena came out and announced it on the show.
I wish I was old enough to remember when all that happened. I was 9 and I don’t remember a single thing, no one talked about it at school, didn’t watch the news, and my family didn’t talk about it. But it’s nice to watch videos like these
We hate eachother until someone else pisses us off. Then we really United😂
Idk what Brits or Europeans think about this. I was born after 9/11 and I had friends about about 20 years later join the army and die in a war that was started before they were born. One of the last things I said to one of them was “ur an idiot for signing up for a war to die in that is older than you”. His funeral was a very sad day.
I was 12 on 9/11 - I watched the towers fall. I was ecstatic when I learned that Bin Laden Was dead. I'm not sorry about that, either.
This is the first time I heard about the sports game, I'm not a sports person, but to see everyone coming together, and wishing we could do the same now with how divided things seem to be, just really makes you think.
In the end, Light will conquer Darkness. On that night Evil received Justice.
Stop living in a fairy tale. Good doesn't always win. "Good" and "evil" are also pretty subjective.
@@rijlqanturis625 I am sorry you feel that way.
@@rijlqanturis625 lol no in this case it’s pretty clear bin laden was evil. And no ones living in a fairy tale, your just mad
@@jeffwebster402 it's not really just a feeling, it's just reality. The line between good and evil isn't always that clear and the one man's terrorist is indeed another man's hero. Washington was a traitor and an oath breaker. That's a fact in the British perspective. Also good doesn't always win. Lots of terrorists and tyrants live to a ripe old age. Lots of injustice goes unpunished and unknown. That isn't a feeling or opinion, it's's reality.
@@projectc.j.j3310 the United States supported Bin Laden and his kind when they were fighting other. I guess that means the US supported evil for it's own gain.
Yes, Bobby Valentine was the Texas Rangers coach and then went on to coach the NY Mets. He had a restaraunt in Arlington, TX for many years called Bobby V's.
He used to be the Mets coach, then he was fired and became an announcer. Then he became Boston’s manager. Bobby valentine that is.
Mets "MANAGER." A baseball manager has five or six coaches working for him.
Lol im sorry if you were confused by my wording. Of course you are also wrong if you want to be technical. (Clearly you do) He was the “field manager” of the Mets. Lol all that free time and this is how you spend it. Lol
@@ayerox - You aren't American, I guess. No problem. Or you don't follow baseball. In the pros, in college, in high school, the leader of the team is ALWAYS "the manager." Just "the manager." Never the "field manager." I don't know where you got, maybe from some faulty translation from English?
11:40 yeah, Bobby Valentine was the NY Mets manager for a while. Late 90s, early 2000s. The moment a lot of people remember him for was when he got ejected from a game, but came back into the dugout with fake mustache and sunglasses on as a disguise... lol
I was in college and when I found out I ran into my roommates room and threw him a beer and yelled they finally got him and he instantly knew who him was. Watching this makes me tear up. It will be weird explaining all this to my 2 year old when the time comes.
I remember that particular night as something that started out as a normal time as a soldier returning from Afghanistan after a year long deployment. I didn’t realize what just happened as far as the news until we had landed in Canada for a layover to get fuel and then back home. When we were on the ground and heard the news we all had made calls home to see if our families had heard the news about Osama Bin Laden. We were really excited about the news and then felt a huge sigh of relief about no longer feeling such a sense of urgency to get the person responsible for so many of us either joining the military and then being able to accomplish our main goal of getting rid of the biggest threat that we faced.
I miss when Americans loved America.
Millions of us love America🤠🤠🤠
Most still do, we just have opposing visions for America
Um we still do. We just have opposing views and opinions.
Americans are still one of the most patriotic group of people in the world tbh. Is just that they are no longer viewing their country with rose colored glasses... but there is a quote in tough love for that.
@@sirboomsalot4902 not Democrats
11:25 Bobby Valentine was the Mets manager from '96-'02, so he wasn't the manager during this game, but he was on 9/11. He also played for them in the '70s
You guys need to react to the american national Anthem story. It called American national anthem like you never heard it. It will bring tears to your eyes
I remember I woke up my kids so they could see that. I felt it was important for them to understand what happened live and not just from books. Almost an hour of questioning followed, which I was happy to answer.
Watch the "boatlift of 911 an untold story" especially after this itll be a good reaction
I'll never forget watching the Philadelphia Phillies-New York Mets game as news started to get out, had gotten a text from a friend saying what happened
You guys should react to the seal talking about how they went in and got him, 100% worth it. The body cam footage is unreal as well
I was 7 years old when 9/11 happened and watched it all happen live on tv. I always remember those two moments as an American because of how they brought us all together as Americans. I wish we lived eachother now as much as we did post 9/11 and during this moment.
14th innings 😭😭😭. Never ending game. I don’t know if the Office Blokes realize a normal game is 9 innings
As a Pennsylvanian, we were right in the middle of the bombings on that day. One of those planes went down here and one in New York, not to leave out the loss in D.C.. Watching this is giving me chills all over again.
I remember this! I was at home and people were setting fireworks off in our neighborhood! I was younger but, I still remember vividly the atmosphere of the nation weeks after that. We weren’t divided by our race or political party we were UNIFIED by our grief and pride. Really wish we could get back to that! 🇺🇸+🇬🇧=❤️
I've seen this video maybe half a dozen times and I have teared up every single time
I remember the night this happened. I literally took out my phone and said "huh, they killed ben laden" and then went to bed.
How uninspiring!
Man I got goosebumps on every chant. I wish I could recall where I was.. Unity can be such a beautiful thing
What really amazes me is this was the night of the White House Correspodent's dinner, where the President usually goes up and cracks some jokes. Obama went to that, did it, went to the Situation Room, oversaw the operation, then went out and announced it.
President Obama said he would get Bin Laden and he did. I don't care what one thinks of him politically but that was a promise to the American people he kept.
@@xoxxobob61
Yep. I remember there was a 3-way debate between Obama, Hillary and John McCain in 2008. One of the questions put to them was "if Bin Laden were found in an allied country, would you send a unit in to get him?" Obama was the only one who said "yes." The story in the media for the next week was about him being politically naive for saying that...
Actually, the dinner was the night before, but yes, same achievement just in a few more hours. What is so wild about that weekend is that was the WHC dinner where Obama roasted trump after trump started the whole birther thing. Trump just sat there and sulked and then the next night the breaking news of Obama's upcoming speech kept interrupting the Celebrity Apprentice. You just KNOW trump boiled when he saw the announcement. Poetic justice. If only it had lasted.
I just remember crying and being very thankful ~ Got texts from everyone - lots of emoticons celebrating the news.
you should react to Roy benavidez true hero
That guy was amazing no matter how many times I watch it it’s still good
Yes, thats a true legend
They already have.
This actually happened when I was in basic training. I can still here the reaction of my Drill Sargeants when the news reached us. We where in the middle of a 7 day field op and it was a celebration in the woods of Georgia.
I don't want to sound all cringe-y about my American pride, so I'll just say that this video made my heart all fuzzy.
I remember the news broke in the middle of the night in the states and it was like a nationwide party no joke. Probably the last time collectively we were United and it was special man.. hard to explain 🇺🇸
He was the Mets manager when the World Trade Center attacks happened.
We weren't watching baseball, but literally the moment we heard, our neighborhood all came out and were erupting in chants of u.s.a. u.s.a.. It was maybe one of the most happy emotional nights of my life, that didn't directly effect my family or friends specifically, except those who were overseas.
Y’all should react to MLB Unsportsmanlike Moments
Yo Bloke! Bobby Valentine was a player, coach, then TV analyst....FYI and you probably already know, but anyway, cheers, terrific video BLOKES!
There was one more event going on, WWE had a show going. Mind you, it isn't as big as a baseball game. But I was watching it and at the end of it John Cena announced to the crowd that US killed Bin Laden. It was pretty awesome to see.
Have to go youtube that video after this then, never head that
I was just about to post this. The whole arena erupted in cheers.
When you guys were discussing the viral speed of news it reminded me of the 1980 Dolphins vs Patriots game in which the control booth was notified of John Lennon's death. Howard Cosell and the guys in the booth were debating whether they should or even could announce the news to the stadium crowd.
Getting bin Laden was great. But it was nice to eventually go back to hating Mets fans.
Mike is so awesome, he really knows how to make you feel good when he talks
Cue Toby Keith...
😂
"Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list, and the Statue of Liberty started shakin her fist, and an eagle will fly, and it's gonna be hell. When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell, and it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down in you... brought to you courtesy, of the red white and blue!"
To think about that plane going down in Pennsylvania and the WTC in NY, and then only these two teams were playing that night, amazing!
I remember being confused, being Muslim and hating the guy for bringing negative slander against our religion, but then at the same time being in school and getting side eyes and kids joking if I was upset about it 😒 shit was weird and kind of wanted the news to get old fast. any good person is happy when a bad person goes down.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Luckily, we're back to hating the Russians- which I have no problem with.
I really appreciate seeing this group of guys acknowledge the significance and what it meant to us in the USA.
In America it Was told President Obama was having an announcement to address the Nation and I was thinking it was an Asteroid or something.
Yay! I requested this video a couple months ago and Daz responded to me so I thought it would come sooner but at least it’s here now
Best birthday present I’ve ever received from a person I don’t necessarily like. “Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.” I’ll never forget how proud I was that day.
I was on a cross country road trip vacation from DC to San Francisco when the news came in. I saw the newspaper when I was in Yosemite national park in California. The trip was 8,400 miles. Southern route there and the northern route back...unforgettable experience
I love baseball but only watch a few games a year, and this happens to be a game I was watching. This was memorable and amazing to be watching and realizing what was happening with all there people.
I was there at that game for my 9th birthday. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life, something I'll always remember.
i had retired from the Navy and was in college. My entire adult life had been dealing with in some place dealing with terrorism.
As an American and someone mixed with Middle Eastern and Muslim blood this moment was emotional. I remember watching it on TV with some friends and we all just started crying. It was just a big moment for us to move on from 911.
I found it serendipitous that the two teams playing that night were from New York and Pennsylvania, two of the three states where the events of 9/11 took place. So the reaction from the crowd was even more understandable! In a way, it was able to give much needed closure.
Let me just say that, I live in South Philly where the stadium is at, I am about 3 miles away from it, and I very vividly remembering that sunday night the USA chants echoing from the stadium, it was that loud. I was outside working on my car and from hearing the echos of the USA chant to people honking their horn and shouting USA in the neighborhood, it was a fucking uniting celebration.
I was in english class in highschool when the attack happened, my teacher turned the TV on and my fellow students watched the tower falling. It made some of us cry and many of us were speechless.
This might be the first Blokes video I tested up in. Thank you boys!
When I got that notification I went into party mode I was the only one in the room and I was still hooting and hollering.
