The amount of work that must have gone into making this boggles the mind. What an incredible piece of journalism this is. As a journalist I salute you.
This deserves some type of award. Aside from the accuracy and amount of details, logistics- simply playing a live televised broadcast with commercials next to realtime data is extraordinarily profound and eerie.
4K isn't even enough! You could use a separate window for each major news station to just stay permanently "on", and perhaps as many spaces for the various audio feeds to have descriptions of what they are, plus cues of when they are actually the source of audio playing on the overall video at the moment. This is a really well‑engineered video! Thank you!
It gives me chills when American 11 takes off, I know those people aren’t going to be alive on the ground again, and that there are many more lives to be lost because of it.
This dashboard is extremely impressive. Showing the exact moments when each of these famous photos and videos were taken is insane. Rest in peace to all the victims.
I live in Boston, my dad had a Business trip To Los Angeles. And I think you know where this is going. I was 4 years old and on 9/11 I got pulled from pre school my mom didn’t know that that was the plane. Later they found out that it was that plane and my dad never came home. Thank you for taking the time to make this so people who thankfully didn’t have to live in this horrific period of time can hear the terror the people of America had to go through. Thank you from the bottom of my heart thank yoi
Man, hearing the air traffic controller around 28:00 is chilling. Imagine being in his shoes. It’s just a normal day at work and you clear a plane to climb, but they don’t respond. You call to another plane thinking something is wrong with comms, but they respond just fine. Must have been extremely eerie for him.
1:16:19 I can't imagine anything worse than realizing in real-time that the first plane wasn't an accident. For news reporters and the live audience, this was the moment it went from a tragic mistake to an act of terror.
That was me. I was a young girl living in Hong Kong. It was nighttime in our timezone, our family was watching television together after dinner. Then it cut to WTC on fire. No one knew exactly what was going on and we all assumed that was an accident. The moment the 2nd plane hit, we all screamed in disbelief and we heard our neighbours' screams as well. That moment of sitting in front of TV and watching that plane crashing into the building have forever etched into my mind, and I cried so much in the following week with all the news about the people that perished on that day, and I am not even American. I can't imagine how an American child would feel like watching that and how much would that impact their mental health.
@@ChristineSK as an american child, it's terrifying. every year on 9/11 we talk about this day. from primary school to highschool we watch videos of people dying. I just can't even begin to imagine actually watching it in real life.
I was heading to one of my grad school classes; it was such a beautiful fall morning. I was watching live when the second plane hit. We were trying to find our sibling who worked in the financial center. It took hours to find our sibling and everything for us was fine. But I grieved for this and for everyone lost and their relatives just endlessly. But the sickening feeling was horrible - easily the worst I’ve ever felt in a way I can’t describe. I have lost multiple beloved family members etc but this hit in a place that still hasn’t healed and never will…
@FukpigTheshitterdestroye-co2wh I’m not disagreeing. I could see the government doing it, too. Either way it’s tragic, and the general public doesn’t have that intel. So it’s terrifying for them.
I was watching it all live from England, United Kingdom… when the 2nd plane hit, it felt like WW3 was starting over in the USA. It really felt like NY was under attack.
As a person who was born in 2005 (post-9/11) this makes me feel like I was alive during these attacks. This video is one of the best videos I have ever seen. Thank you very much for making this!
@@littlemizredhead Wow, how was it? Maybe you can post those VHS tapes online kind of like this person did. I have always been interested in these types of incidents even though they give me a lot of trauma just watching them.
I was 18 years old, I remember coming into school and hearing everyone talking about it in the halls. Not many people went to class that day, we went to a multi purpose room and watched the live news the whole school day.
I would agree 100%! If anyone too young or not born yet wants to experience this day, this is a great way to see it. I was 24, working as an electrician. I was about 30 minutes late that day and got in about 8:30am. A bit later, I started getting my van ready, one of the warehouse guys told me a helicopter hit one of the towers. He knew that I went to NYC to see the skyline and the towers a couple years earlier so he wanted me to know. I didn’t think much of it other than thinking how some idiot helicopter pilot didn’t see the towers. As I was getting ready to leave, he told me it was a plane and another one hit the other tower. That was when all of us gathered in a small office and watched the tv in amazement until they both fell down. My first words after the first tower fell were “we’re going to war”. I honestly thought there was probably 30k deaths and we just witnessed it. Even though it wasn’t that much, there was still too many. I was listening to the radio and heard about the Pentagon. I was trying to work the rest of the day not knowing how many planes they had. We were expecting a lot more planes to crash in LA or Chicago or other important places. It was difficult to concentrate on work for sure. My work day finally ended and I was glued to the tv that night and every night for the next 2 months. After this day, America changed, society changed. We were all very united but fear, stress, paranoia and not knowing what’s next pretty much took over our lives. I’ll never ever forget that day and I go back and watch videos and watch documentaries and still try to figure that day out probably every 5-6 months and I’ll do that for about a week. I cannot help it whatsoever and will probably do this for the rest of my life.
Ngl since 9/11 ive been scared to get on any plane going to new york. Early august this year(during hurricane whatever that hurricane was) i had to do a layover flight to LGA (which is in/near NYC). The turbulance feom the storms plus so many redirects that we had to land in detroit for gas (the poilet actually told us we were running out). I was terrified beyond mesure, and not gonna go on a plane anytime soon
I just noticed, at 28:01 just as the first plane was hijacked the advertisement on the left shows a paper plane flying across and almost slices through the buildings. Very eerie.
TH-cam has been adding adds on videos even if an uploader doesnt want to monetize the video lately, so if you come back to this and see ads, this might be why
One thing that has always blown my mind happened at 50:49 the two planes that hit the trade center came within 5 miles of each other before UA175 was hijacked. Those poor pilots had no idea seeing the already hijacked plane that they'd share the exact same fate minutes later.
On the map it looks like they crossed flight paths at different altitudes. The two plane icons are right on top of each other, anyway. And then later that Delta flight that nearly collided with UA175
@Mew2Winbecause a terrorist attack of this scale was never thought of. You are asking as if intel like we have today is ready and available at the snap of a finger. Dial up is still a thing. Facebook wasn't even off the ground yet. Don't look at this with 2024 eyes. Look at this with "we're 2 years into the 21st century" eyes. So many things were allowed back then. You could easily get a tour of the cockpit while in flight. Thought this would answer your question.
Back then I was pregnant and was watching this in horror like everyone else, then I felt my baby kick for the first time. My son is now training to become a firefighter. Thank you for making this detailed video.
hearing the reporter say “and it’s tuesday september 11th 2001” in a normal jovial newscaster voice is so eerie given what happened not long after. makes you realize most people had no idea what was coming.
Had Facebook existed in 2001, those people in the Towers would've probably been doing lives to show what was actually going on inside the Towers, so heartbreaking! I can't even imagine being there and seeing and feeling what they did 😢😢😢😢
i watch a LOT of youtube and i don’t say this lightly: this is the most impressive video i’ve ever seen. this should be shown in schools. its very hard to explain how our country completely changed in such a short period of time and this does such an incredible job at conveying that. thank you for putting this together.
No? Brainwashing kids in school is not cool dude... No plane footage at all, not a single frame. No aircraft derbies ever actually found, only from the buildings. Eye witnesses were all FEDS. I mean come on isn't it obvius to you? The problem with people is that they don't think for themselves anymore, think for a minute, when was the last time you formed your OWN ideas and conclusions, and not just accepted whatever you've been told?
Something about the early morning commercials before anything went wrong frames the loss of innocence perfectly. I was about to turn 6 at the time, just at the right age to not understand the context, but to very well understand the fear in the air and the sense that something exceptionally bad had happened, something that the adults around me never thought was possible. The atmosphere living in the US forever changed in the space of the exact hours you've compiled here, and it's quite the feeling to "relive" it as an adult. This is an extremely important piece of media, thank you.
i was born in france a few years after 2001 but this video really lets me grasp at least a tiny bit of how the people watching the TV in 2001 could have felt; fear, terror, shock. an amazing video by all means
I was 7. I remember my dad coming to get me from school early and coming back to his house to watch the news. I don’t think I even know what the world trade center was until that day and I definitely didn’t know what a terrorist attack was.
@germanpotatospy1466 it was horrifying, i was 23 cleaning swimming pools in orlando. I heard it on the Howard stern show, i immediately drove home and watch for at least a whole day in shock. I will never forget that day.
This is similar to how Chernobyl was for me. I was not quite 5 and didn't understand why it was so serious but I could see from how everyone was reacting that it was exceptionally bad.
The "I think we might have lost her" about Betty as soon as the first plane crashed broke my heart. They already knew it was bad, they had no idea how bad it was about to become.
Yes. She was one of the first heroes. Who was able to provide information that could help. I cannot imagine the terror she was experiencing, but she set that all aside and made sure to do everything possible to help.
And the whole world with it. I was too young to remember but my Spanish parents told me it was shocking and that it was talked about for months afterwards
Modern history began at 8:46am on September 11, 2001. 911 is the only historical event I’ve known where everyone who was old enough to remember it remembered exactly where they were when it happened, even the people I’ve known who were from other countries remembered when they were when they heard about it.
My mom pulled me and my brothers out of school for the day, and took us to the swimming pool. She was worried they would target schools next. 9/11 is burned in my mind as a day that the water was cool, and fun. I love my little brothers. The sky was so blue, the trees were so green. Every single adult around me was talking about the news.
I was at the base of the south tower when it fell. Somehow by the Grace of God myself and co workers survived. The loss of life we saw that day never leaves you. There was decapitation of body parts crushed bodies limbs and more. Seeing such horror but also experiencing the undeniable human love for one another helping those who were hurt, lost and confused. A well done production. Thank you.
Sorry, Michael. I'm so thankful that you survived. I was only there in spirit, as most Americans were, but I totally agree. That feeling has never left me. All these years later, I feel it all just like it felt that day. Only perhaps worse because we know how it goes now, but then we were gradually made aware of how bad it was over a period of weeks! To all the people here commenting that weren't born yet when it happened, please know this: we were scared that day, all of us...and angry...and hurting...not just for ourselves but for YOU! For you exact ones that had not come into the world yet. We were scared for the America that would exist (or not exist!) in the future when you would all get here. It was more death, pain, loss, devastation, insanity, chaos than I've seen before or since. But as stated elsewhere, I also saw more love, compassion, dedication, unity and strength than I had ever seen. It just shouldn't have cost us so much to find it as a Nation, and it is tragic that we have already lost it.
@@TraditionalSupremacy I was just watching on TV but that day I saw the first plane in replay and I saw the 2nd LIVE as it happened. My Granny spotted the plane and shouted "Look! It's another one!" Just as the plane entered the south tower. That was the moment we all realized it was intentional.
Christian, I say this with all seriousness: This video needs to be stored in the *September 11 Digital Archive in the Library of Congress* . Every 9/11 anniversary, I watch a realtime video here on YT (I was 30 when it happened), and this obvious passion project you so painstakingly put together with such accuracy and detail is truly *amazing* ...and so appreciated. Thank you so very much for your efforts. I will
I’m not sure why but flight 93 always bothered me the most. These people knew what was happening in real time finding out about the other planes going into the towers and realizing their flight is hijacked and then fighting for their lives to take back control of the plane. Think about how helpless you are in a tin can in the sky and not having any way of escape and pretty much knowing what the outcome is going to be and still fighting to protect other people by forcing them to crash in a field nowhere near their target saving countless others. Brave people.
No, they already knew they were hijacked before. The hijackers threatened them with boxcutters and a fake bomb to make their way to the cockpit. They only received Intel about what happened to the other planes when they started to fight back
I always think of Flight 93 passenger Jeremy Glick - his wife Lyz saying in a documentary "Jeremy just wanted to get home for dinner, to see me and his baby daughter again." It's the knowledge that they were just normal people like the rest of us, going about their day and suddenly being held hostage up thousands of miles in the sky, having to make decisions nobody should have to make.
@@metallicock No the operator heard "is everyone ready? okay, let's roll." The plane was erratic, people were screaming and the 2 of them had just said the Lord's Prayer together. Honestly I find it uncomfortable how people focus on the "let's roll" quote as they try to turn it into some sort of entertaining superhero statement - when actually, the people on that flight will have been terrified as they fought for their lives.
The tragedy is that the passengers were aiming to overpower the terrorists and take back the plane. One passenger was a trained pilot and a flight attendant was on the phone to her husband at the time, who swore he could have helped them via instructions to land safely had they reached the controls. It was in the terrorists' disgusting mission statement that they were going to die that day either by crashing into buildings or into the ground (anything to avoid capture, like the cowards they were).
I'll never forget that morning. I had partied very hard the night before. Woke up to the cable guy showing up at 8am EST. By the time he installed it and we turned on the TV the news of that tragic day was already on. I remember seeing the 2nd plane hit and thinking, this isn't an accident, we're under attack. That crash brought me right out of any hangover I had. For every person who died and their families that are still suffering, my heart goes out to them.
I have never seen a presentation like this done so well. I remember 9/11, I was in third grade, I remember kids kept getting picked up early from school, one by one, until I also got picked up early. My dad told me what happened. I didn't really understand the gravity of it at the time, I remember being more concerned about whether or not the cartoon channels would be affected by the news coverage. It shaped the world I grew up in though, and I do find it fascinating today. This is really so well put together, I feel like I understand the process of events better than ever before.
I was in the 5th grade and our teacher told us what was happening. She turned on the tv but it was after the towers fell. I was one of only 2 kids left at the end of the day.
4th grader here, I still live in Costa Rica so no pick up but I remember watching a recap after the second attack, holy smokes my parents started to scream… I saw them coming down as well, that sealed the deal for me and it’s something that is still etched in my brain today. Dad needed urgent open heart surgery in the US at this time, it was until October that they could travel, all planes grounded until then.
1:13:25 literally brung tears to my eyes … reading that , with all my heart rest in peace to those loss during this tragedy! Hearing him say “I think they intend to fly into a building, dont worry dad if it happens it will be very fast” HEART BREAKING 💔 😢
That one shatters my heart. His parents lived a few towns over from where I live. He and his wife were taking their three year old daughter, Christine, to Disneyland. Knowing that sweet angel was excited to go see Mickey…and this happened instead…it haunts me. Every time I see the second plane hit, all I can think about is that phone call and his father hearing, “oh my god..” and the line going silent.
@@BookishDarkI can’t even imagine his pain and grief . I saw an interview with him years ago and he still got choked up repeating his son’s words ‘don’t worry, it’ll be quick.’ 😢
This is so well put together it should be used in history classes. I was 13 at the time and watched it all unfold on TV with my family. Such a horrible day.
I totally agree on this. I think everyone not alive when 9/11 happened should watch this when they are old enough to handle it. History like this should never be forgotten.
Obviously it's impossible now to recreate the experience of watching this live, not knowing the second plane, the Pentagon, and the collapse of the WTC was all coming. But combining the live TV with the ATC and timeline etc is very, very effective, this really is one of the best attempts I've seen to give a sense of what that day was like to live through at the time.
This dashboard video shows us, that America is not prepared for attacks. Where was the Emergency Broadcast System? I never seen one broadcast. Also at this time, the United States military was also not prepared. Even today, we still are not prepared from attacks or pandemics. 9/11 would have been much worse if flight 93 was not delayed for 40 minutes.
@@lebronjamesharden3958 You can't watch something happen live when it's already happened. You can't unknow that it happened. You may be able to create something similar artificially but you can't recreate the exact experience.
2:53:00 This embrace between two firefighters is incredibly touching. Even more so when you learn the two men are actually brothers, both of whom thought the other had died during the towers’ collapse. I can’t imagine the fear of not knowing, followed by the eventual relief of reuniting. Such an incredible human moment ❤
I mean, everytime i see those firefighters nowadays being eaten up by cancers they got breathing in the towers' asbestos and all, asking for justice and being ignored by everyone (ignored by those that proudly cried saying "never forget" back then), everytime that comes to mind I feel a bit of my humanity fade away....
How should we, the consequences of 9/11 still affect us today. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Islamic State terror, the refugee crisis...Atta and the other terrorists f***ed up the world really bad...
Words cannot fully convey the immaculate professionalism and usefulness of this resource you’ve created. As someone who was just a toddler on 9/11, I grew up hearing all about it ad nauseam without really UNDERSTANDING it all. But seeing it in this format is what finally helped me to have a complete understanding of and encapsulates just how impactful, horrific, and tragic this day was. My heart aches for those who were lost. Thank you for all of your hard work! This is incredible.
Couldn't have said it better, as someone who was too young to have been there, i've made numerous 9/11 jokes bombs on planes etc, and never really understood because all of the other documentaries/vidoes are just so poorly done compared to this, THIS is damn near a time machine i feel like im working at a office with the news open on the other monitor experiencing this as if its happening right now, the nostalgic commercials, live events real time you never know whats going to happen next to the point so much is going on you dont have time to scroll down to the time stamps, is EXTREMELY eye opening and because of this youtuber ALONE, i will NEVER make any form of plane joke again
if you liked this check out "9/11 in Real Time (2022 Documentary) by the channel 'Nevermind'. It's exactly like this but a different person so it's all different too check it out
Yes it is hard to explain to younger people how if you were an adult this day, i was 26, how life now is like defined as “before 9/11” and “after 9/11”. It still feels like that event just happened for someone my age. And things started changing with the government starting to be so much in our lives after 9/11 because of laws they passed, tsa, and department of homeland security created. It’s like having lived 2 totally different lives before and after that day and this is hard to explain to young people. I imagine this is kind of the same phenomena that may have happened to those living before, during, and after ww2 pearl harbor or even the day before and after jfk assasination too. One day changed everything for us who were at least in our 20’s by 2001. Like literally, the 90’s were such a free time to live in america as the matrix movie predicted exactly that the late 90’s would be the ideal time to place the matrix in.
As someone who was not alive during the attacks of 9/11, I thank you greatly for this video. It has allowed me to understand how the events unfolded on that terrible day. A brilliantly created video!
I am in awe of how this makes me feel like I’m experiencing it as if it was the first time all over again. Did anyone else feel that carefree, happy go lucky feeling before the first tower was struck, and ever since then, we’ve not had the feeling anymore since this tragedy? It’s so strange, sad, and tragic. Thank you for posting this. I may play it on 9/11 now to remind myself to pray for all the families who lost loved ones that day.
That's exactly why i'm watching this rn. To witness the very precise moment we entered a new era, in real time. It's easy to understand how many of you were traumatized, and how it's easy to target a whole foreign civilization as an enemy to destroy. Super frightening to say the least.
The 21st century was a chance for humanity to redeem itself after the mass holocausts of the 20th century. This was our introductory to the 21st century lol Shits never been the same. This was just the start.
Yes. We lost our country that day. It started when JFK was assassinated, then MLK, then RFK, and the final blow was dealt on 9/11. The aftermath that’s been going on for 22 years since can be seen and felt all around us. Our freedoms and rights have been eroding, our economy is in a spiral, our institutions have been compromised and as citizens (even amongst family members) are divided. You’re not alone, I felt the loss of innocence that day.
Even as a non-american it's one of the things I will remember for life. I was 9 years old back then, living in Thailand, getting ready to go to bed when I heard my mom scream while on the phone with my dad in France. I ran to see what was happening, and saw what happened happening live on emergency news. We aren't americans, never been there, but we were crying our hearts out. No one should have had gone through that.
I was 9 too. Except I went to PS 89 which was a few blocks from the tower. We were late for school and saw the first plane hit and decided we should go back home. By the time we got to the train station, the second plane hit and we realized it was a terrorist attack. Were there more coming? Were there gunmen on the trains? We ended up walking home that day.
I was 12 years old, I remember that i`m going to my friend's house (I live in Russia, it was about 5 p.m.) and I saw her mom watching a TV, she was shoked. I asked what happened and she told that terrorists had attacked America. I remember the footage of the towers and the replay of the explosion, it was a great shock.
@@Justy5 I was a bit older, not that it matters much. But also very far away and yet feeling we're all in this together. When I went to school the next day, some classes were cancelled so that instead we could talk to the teachers about the meaning of this. The following year hundreds died in Bali bomb explosion, then next year we've heard about Moscow theatre and later still the Beslan massacre.
2:36:20 brought tears to my eyes. Like the guy was realizing in real time, that he almost died, and that many of his coworkers died, and that he was blessed to be leaving, walking on the street, to his family.
@@slamdunk2270interviewer: what’s going through your mind when you see all of this happening ?. Witness: you see bodies flying out of the sky and you can’t do anything about it… you tell me you tell me what you think . Danmm that hit me
@27:37 imagine this is your job, and you're just working another normal day, and for some reason one of the planes doesn't respond right away. Imagine being that person, radioing in again to see what's going on, having no idea what's about to happen, or that you're going to be the person who was last in contact with the plane that hit the towers...Truly haunting and surreal. I can't even imagine what it must have been like to be in his place that day.
I appreciate how he was right on it from the beginning. He stopped calling the plane as soon as the hijacker confirmed his presence by accident, so I bet he was sitting there listening for any more accidental transmissions, waiting for some intel which could possibly help. Along with everyone else in the airspace, like 175.
1:00:01 First impact 1:16:10 second impact 1:51:03 pentagon hit 2:12:20 first tower collapse 2:16:20 fourth crash (over ground) 2:41:40 second tower collapse
I was in the third grade when this happened. My school had an announcement instructing all teachers to turn the TVs on and show whats happening. I will always remember watching this and remembering my teacher crying
I was in 2nd grade in central Jersey - about 45 minutes southwest of the lower tip of Manhattan One by one, kids were being called to the office to get picked up by their parents who made it home safely from the city Our teacher sat us down on the "reading rug" and we asked what was going on and she said "oh there was just a little plane crash in the city" I don't fault her for her explanation. I can't imagine trying to explain the gravity of the situation to a room of 30 2nd graders. Especially when some of the students had parents who were still in the city
I was in the 5th grade in Brooklyn we could see from our school windows. I remember the chaos and pandemonium. My home in the days following was covered in dust and soot. We couldn’t reach family members for several days. And we lost my uncle but everyone else I knew personally survived. 😢
This real-time edit is an exceptional and poignant account of that fateful day. Kudos to the creator for meticulously synchronizing all the significant events. Undoubtedly, this endeavor must have demanded a substantial amount of effort. I genuinely appreciate how the events of that day are presented in a clear and easily comprehensible manner. For anyone with a sincere interest in the events of that day, this 4+ hour video is a must-watch. It offers a straightforward, real-time depiction of the day as it unfolded. It has greatly aided my understanding of what transpired, as I had never taken the time to grasp the sequence of events and the timeline. I was 22 when this occurred, and I distinctly remember where I was and what I was doing when the news broke. It was an extraordinarily devastating moment, yet also somewhat of a blur because no one truly comprehended the unfolding chaos, and the news coverage was frantic. Finally, after another 22 years, I can now clearly discern how it all unfolded.
I was 21 and at work in England. Someone at work who had family in America had got on in touch with them and told them it happened. When news spread across the office I had imagined everyone had got out in time and that it was just the building that was damaged. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the video footage on the news that night! So so sad. 😞 💔
The whole crash video followed by "What's going on Betty?" and "I think we lost her" are particularly poignant and eerie If I remember right the video of the first crash wasn't found until many years later. Crazy how stuff unearths
I watched this video in its entirty at 2 am a couple of months ago and have not stopped thinking about it since. The level of detail convinced my brain this was happening in real time and had me itching to check for updates - despite realistically knowing it was 23 years ago! Genuinley brilliant work, I unserstand that you appear to be specifically interested in planes but if you ever make a video like this for another event i will be seated!
Fun fact about the hurricane shown in the very beginning of the video, because of the hurricane, the smoke in the air was pulled out to sea, making the area cleaner much faster than it usually would have been, possibly saving countless lives for the people breathing the air in Lower Manhattan.
@@napalm_lipbalm86 Your god chose to manipulate the weather, but didn't choose to save the countless lives lost in the actual tragedy? How very all-powerful of him.
@@Mr-E Because God got angry that his Adam and Eve expressed free will, and so now everyone should feel pain and be punished. I'd sooner believe that the boogyman is under my bed.
@new_gal3399 like everyone else said it was evil who at play here. These terrorists chose to sin and as a result ended up killing many lives. That's why we are supposed to.learn as a human race how to live in harmony. It's in the Bible, why you think there is killings and mass genocides in the Bible.🤔
It's amazing how detailed this is. This must've taken a very long time to produce. Absolutely outstanding work. I was born in 2003, but my mom always told me how bad that day was. She had a friend who was working at the Pentagon who died when AA77 crashed into the building. This video made me feel like I was on the couch experiencing it in real time while also having an inside look at what was going on firsthand with the air traffic and NYFD radios. One of the best videos I've ever seen on this website.
Yeah, watching this is the closest I've ever felt to being back on that day, it's a pretty good glimpse of what it was like. Only thing missing is everyone else standing around the TVs in shock.
I think the part that hurts me the most is after the first tower is hit and before the second tower gets hit, after 1:11:50 you can see people jumping from the towers. It’s devastating to see these people without any options left.
This is really well put together and laid out. Weaving so many insane experiences and stories from that day with all the atc recordings, phone calls, and media coverage into a perfect timeline while also keeping the unrelated anecdotal daytime tv fluff is actually brilliant editing. I've been watching this for two days and I'm only an hour and a half in beacause it's so meaty I gotta digest it little by little. There should be awards for this.
As someone born in 2000 who's never had memories of life before 9/11 I feel this video is the closest I can get to experiencing how everyone must of felt that day. Especially the first hour of the video, everything was just normal, they had segments on the weather and local community events then bang! Random plane hits the tower, no one knows what's happening, everyone assumes it's an accident(outside of air traffic control) then you can feel the vibe change when the second plane hits. Appreciate this video.
I was 17 working my first job in Canada amd it was just like that, we heard it on the radio amd I thought “that’s nuts” then after work after everything unfolded amd I couldn’t believe they collapsed. Then building 7, despite conspiracy theories it really felt like they dropped the ball on all fronts. Also afterwards the government did nothing for all of those who got sick from the debris.
Pretty much. People weren’t sure if it was an accident, if something happened to the pilot to cause them to lose control etc, then when the second one hit it was OMG something REALLY bad is going down! It was very scary.
I was just 2 weeks old and my mom remembers everything that happened that day. She said she was breastfeeding me at the time when the first plane hit and my older brother was on his way too school. I have no memory of that day obviously but RIP to everyone who lost their lives. Who knows how many more would have died if it weren’t for the bravery of those on Flight 93.
I saw the second plane hit live on CNN (it was not a fake news channel back then). I live in Indonesia and when i turned on TV i saw one of the towers already on fire. My mother asked whether it was a movie, i said no this is real. And then suddenly another 767 hit. No confusion anymore whether these were accidents or deliberate attacks.
I cant even begin to think how difficult, time-consuming and mentally draining it was to create this 4 hour long video. This has to be the best compiling of TV broadcasting, events, radio frequencies, and footage I've ever seen before. This challenges professional journalism companies. I have never seen anyone do this and pull it off so well, it honestly gives me chills watching the Timeline tick closer and closer as the broadcasting part of the video is playing some irrelevant ad. You can listen to a raw clip of radio blip after another, but for some reason when its set this way its way more impacting every time you hear a firefighter talk into it. And I don't even know who you are, no where to donate, no where to actually realistically say thank you, but you still did this. Thank you
The amount of work that goes into synchronizing all this info in one video is outstanding. This documents the facts and the feelings of that tragic day.
Commercial @ 27:57 The art behind the woman is 2 large rectangles (WTC) the lamp shows the planes trajectory going into tower 1. The Commercial itself shows her then throw a paper airplane with a note saying "im on my way" at the same time AA11 is hijacked.
I was 33 when this happened. Living in Houston, my then boyfriend (now husband) was on the commuter bus heading to work. I called him after the first plane hit, and I was on the phone with him when the second plane hit. Downtown Houston was then evacuated because at that point the fear was that every major city was under attack. He got home just as the first tower collapsed. My 18 year old daughter just watched this video and shared it with me. It is probably the most important piece of media she will ever see about this and what it was really like living through it in real time. Thank you.
Im about 26 mins in and am genuinely shocked at how well made this is. It has all the energy of a found footage horror film. Massive props and thank you for the hard work in making this. Also a huge shot of nostalgia before 8:30 rolls around
The attention to detail on this video is incredible. A masterclass in editing and research, as well as delicate handling of a tragedy that is both informative and respectful. Well done!
I remember watching this live, it’s important to recognize that even after flight 93 crashed we had no way to know that was the last hijacked plane. This all developed in quick succession through media coverage, and that level of fear and panic remained at a peak for hours if not days later. It was hard to even close your eyes lest something else happen to start it all over again
Yeah, even though I feel like they grounded all airplanes way too late it helped weed out any remaining in the sky slowly. Those hours are pretty intense.
I was 20 watching it live on TV and chatting about it on an old school message board. I'll never forget one poster making the quote "Bush is going to go apeshit and start bombing the hell out of someone". What an understatement.
Exactly sunny. I remember all the false reports of attacks....remember guys on a bridge being stopped/arrested because they thought they had car bombs?? What a crazy ass day/week to live thru as a 12 year old
As somebody born after 9/11, I’ve always had a bit of a fascination with it, but neither of my parents like to talk about it, which I understand an respect. My father was in Crystal City when all of this happened, and when I heard about the third plane flying over Crystal City, my heart dropped. I haven’t told either of my parents that I’ve been researching it, in case it upsets them, but this has been such an eye-opener about what happened. It’s heartbreaking, knowing that those aren’t just buildings being hit, it’s also people, burning, crushed, and dying. To anybody who witnessed this in real time, thank you for keeping the memory of the lives that were lost alive for my generation and the generations after mine
i was born way after this. My grandma told me that before this happened, my dad was scheduled to be on one of the planes the day it hit the tower. but it got changed to the day before. if my dad's flight wasn't early, he'd be dead, and I wouldn't exist.
I was only 9 months old when it happened and my parents don't talk about it either. All I know is my mom was feeding me cereal when she heard the news. My father was a Marine at the time and was immediately deployed out.
I witnessed it in class on the TV. I swear to you - like all the teachers united in one room to watch it on the tv. Us kids had no idea what was going on but you could cut the silence with a knife, man.
It's important for your generation to know about what happened. We said we will never forget. Well that only works if someone's here to remember after everyone who was alive at the time is gone.
That part hit me the hardest on my watch this morning… I just imagine the terror of trying to hit your radio but realizing you’re about to die. May all of those brave firefighters rest in peace… they were going into an absolutely unimaginable situation
I remember being in my 6th grade class, second period, and my principal (who’s since passed) coming in trying to explain this to us. I didn’t even know what the wtc really even was at the time. Great video. Puts a lot in clarity in retrospect.
@Donny Feasco I was in 6th grade as well! I was in art class at the time and I remember the principal announcing the Pentagon attack on the loudspeaker.
As someone who works in the TV business (and was working local news in Edmonton, Canada on that day), I can’t fathom the amount of research and logistics involved with putting this dashboard together. Kudos to you Christian. Excellent work by you!
The transmissions between people on the planes to ATC and other people working amongst them always sends chills down my spine. You can hear in their voices when they realize something is wrong, when they lose contact and fear the worst, when they lose contact and they sound defeated... wonder what was going through their heads at that time. You've essentially just listened to someone pass away without knowing it until later...
It's harrowing and I'm very impressed by how well most ATC reacted. However, Cleveland seemed to be asleep at the wheel. In the context of three active hijackings he really didn't piece it together too well.
@@1nemann The days after of all the people with missing persons flyers posted everywhere and the hospitals with no patients, was so heartbreaking 💔 #NeverForget
@bottomfragger it's not that they were asleep. Cleveland ATC is in control of one of the busiest air spaces if not THE busiest in the country. So the problem was force landing and tracking every aircraft while meanwhile trying to figure out what flight 93 was doing. Mind you ever large city west of NYC was evacuating people. I remember seeing video of downtown Cleveland and multiple roads being changed opposite to their normal traffic pattern to get as many people out of down town due to them thinking flight 93 could be going there. Chicago was the same way.
UA175 actually sighting AA11 is absolutely haunting. I’ve watched so many 9/11 videos over the years and I didn’t remember that part happening. So sad.
@@toffeei They visually spotted the first plane that had been hijacked and communicated it to ATC. At that point, they were unaware that they would be the second plane to be hijacked and flown into the South tower.
Watching this on September 11th, pro tip lock your screen to watch this video so you don't ruin the time sync, great work on this, it makes explaining this event alot easier to someone who doesn't know about 9/11.
@@readmelancholystrumpetmaster And now it's 2023 and americans are defending palestine after they committed another mass terror attack on israel. Americans supporting the same country that did 9/11 amazing isn't it?
@@wheaytdont get a bad reputation of us bro, im a muslim and i fully condemn it. Allah most likely punished them now, because a martyr is the one who sacrifices himself for his country, BUT WHEN HE DEFENDS IT! not do things like this. I hope you dont hate muslims
My mom and I watched this today. I am in awe at the amount of work and care put into this. I've watched many documentaries about 9/11, seen interviews and videos, and I still learned so much from this. It really helps put things into perspective to see it play out in real time, but with all the info available instead of watching blind like we all did back when this stuff happened. Thank you for doing this.
Very well said! I felt so “in the dark” when it first happened. It was my first year of college on the east coast, near Philadelphia. I remember class being canceled and watching the news. It felt so eeirie and calm without the first hand POVs and calls that’s are available now. It was so surreal when it happened.
@@00st307-m Definitely. I think listening to the dialogue between the pilots and control was the most eye opening for me. I felt a twinge of anxiety whenever the caption said "this is the last time they communicated with the tower" or something like that. And I had no idea that one of the planes that had yet to be hijacked crossed paths with the first hijacked plane and reported its position to the tower--just minutes before they, themselves, got hijacked! What a crazy coincidence.
No matter how many videos I've seen of this event, no matter how many years later, it still feels just so tense and haunting. The feeling at the first plane is hijacked and knowing in advance what was going to happen, seeing those falling from the building, the impact of the second plane, the collapse... it's just as horrific today to watch as it ever was.
@@z3v.. it's possible but very very unlikely. After this attack many things changed in aviation rules and security, as well as from what I've seen fighters are scrambled relatively fast when a plane becomes unresponsive now. In the USA at least
@@TurtleChad1 its hard to watch for sure, doesnt make sense how 5 scrawny 5'9 5'10 guys can just stab multiple women and pilots to death and there are 70 + passengers on the plane can easily stomp them out, i dont see how you can just stab 10-15 people to death in a row and not get overwhelmed by numbers, they had knives, not machetes, not guns
Just wanted to say thank you for putting this all together. I was in third grade when this happened and I am sure, like many other that age, had no idea how everything really went down. Thank you for all your hard work on this. Never forget.
My husband was working on a low floor of the North tower when the first plane hit.He's British,just in New York for three days work and had no idea-he though perhaps an earthquake.A Tannoy message came over telling everyone to stay put but another worker in the office had been there during the 1998 bombing and told everyone to get out fast.They all did and left very quickly,even before the second plane hit.My husband was hit by something which fell and was stunned.Apparently he wandered around until someone took care of him.When the first tower fell,they both ran,following the crowds.He'd recovered a little by then but his carer had disappeared so when he reached the river,he had no idea what to do.A tugboat captain asked where he was heading.My husband hadn't a clue what to do but was hauled onboard.A crew member looked after him as they crossed-on the other side the crewman saw a friend and told him to take my husband to the crewman's house.He stayed there for three days until flights resumed.The family were incredible,looking after him-he was still slightly concussed-letting him phone home to the UK.They have remained great friends ever since.visiting us here in Britain several times and we've gone to New York.The crewman was typical of the amazing kindness of New Yorkers that day-we'll never forget them all.
Reminds me of that Korean cruise ship that capsized. The passengers were told that everything was fine and to stay put in their rooms. The ones who listened got trapped and drowned as the ship slowly went under.
For those of you who didn’t live through this or aren’t old enough to clearly remember. This was a moment that really can’t be put into words the magnitude of this day. I can’t imagine anyone doesn’t remember that day vividly. Especially if you lived in the northeast.
For real. I was only 11 years old at the time but I remember the whole day vividly. It's probably the earliest day of my life that I can remember in its entirety. I have early memories that are a moment in time but it's strange how everyone alive at the time can recall their entire day as if it were yesterday and not 23 years ago. Edit:I do live in the northeast as well. Just south of Boston. That morning a fighter jet flew over our house, probably on its way to Boston in the event of further potential attacks. I can still remember the roar of the jet and the ground shaking beneath our feet. I'm sure it was an optical illusion but it seemed like the jet was flying so low that it was nearly scraping the tree tops.
Spot on. I was 17 and on the southwest coast of Connecticut. It felt like the sky was falling - literally - all around me. It was so surreal. This day shaped the rest of my life. It shaped my entire adulthood. I’d graduated high school in June. Just absolutely surreal.
As a kid of a first responder and member of the military who grew up far from other first responder and military families..... yeah this day seems to get harder as I get older. Like the more I find out, the more it dawns on me just what my first years of life were like.
Did you hear the phone call from the guy who was trapped with some of his coworkers in the first tower? 😭 he was saying he didn’t want to die and was begging them to rescue them when he can be heard screaming OH MY GOD when then tower start to collapse. There’s a video they put it in realtime to the phone call 😭😭😭
This is actually saddening. I wasn't even born then, and I'm glad I didn't have to sit and watch that tragic broadcasting. Thinking at first, "what a tragic accident," then the second plane hits, and you think, "this is not just an accident." I also heard people who could understand what was happening, genuinely fear for themselves. This is just unreal, but I'm glad people create videos like this to educate others of horrors/tragedies like this.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such information put into a TH-cam video before. This feels like an abacaba video, but extremely longer and I love it. Thank you so much for making this, it fills in a gap that was missing, how news outlets and the USA reacted.
There's a space shuttle breakdown here on yt somewhere that is really well done and reminds me of this but thats the only thing comparable....this is also much longer than that
Being someone who was born in 2000, this showed everything really well to the point of feeling like I was there watching this live. The 9/11 moments of silence in school afterwards always brought my heart to my throat. This was one of the turning points in Americas history that really changed the world.
Think how crazy it was to watch this live. I heard the first crash in work on the radio as I was finishing, got home to see the second one live on the news in uk. Weird day that was.
My son was born in 2000 also. I recorded everything as it was shown on the news that day and showed it to him when he was old enough to understand. I think when he was about 10-11 yrs old.
@@harshvithlani9399 the rest of the world has to heat about it while worse terrorist attacks get ignored because they arent American, 911 was horrible but it's sad that worse tragedies get ignored
@@harshvithlani9399 It probably didn't have an effect on the whole world. Mostly had an effect on the US for the most part. I assume some citizens in other countries may have also felt upset or emotional about it if they lived in a country that has been hit with terrorist acts as well though.
There's so much to praise about this, but those little details (like showing a map whenever a witness tells their location) were very much appreciated. The timeline scrolling by relentlessly at the bottom of the screen also added to the clarity. And the dread.
I've always had a fascination for how the news reacted to certain events and what time it took place and so on, thank you For making this video it is a fantastic piece of work
This needs to be shown in history classes. You did an amazing job editing all this. I was in high school when this happened and everything just stopped for the entire week and we all sat in class watching the news.
I have rarely seen my mother cry but on this day I remember my mother dragging me out of school with tears and fear in her eyes. I was only 7 years old at the time but the fear and weight of the situation was palpable. Seeing the whole event recorded like this as a now 29 year old really reshapes and further engraves how truly devastating this day was and how it shaped our current world. Thank you for the effort put into editing and posting this.
@39:30 amidst everything on this day, all the horror and tragedy, there's something about these two missing children being reported earlier in the day that really haunts me, knowing that there are probably many other horrific tragedies and emergencies just like it that probably disappeared forever amidst the horror of that day, and it's just another aspect that adds to the horrific tragedy.
Yeah this is definitely an aspect not many people bring up. Not just on that day but many days after people were understandably too caught up in this event to bat an eye at any others.
I remember thinking that some opportunistic criminals would take advantage of all the attention this was getting from the first-responders and basically get away with crime for a short time.
Honestly, you deserve an award for putting this together. No videos I've ever seen, and that's virtually all of them, shows so much detail and info tied in together to view as one. And at the beginning where the three way phone call with the Nydia woman and she says "I think we lost her" as you watch the plane hit WTC1 is haunting knowing she and all the others died at that instant.
That call from flight 175passenger Brian Sweeney to his wife saying that he loves her and to have a great life was chilling and heart breaking. I can't imagine how he felt or how his wife felt.

When UA93 was getting hijacked the calls for help and you can hear them say “we’re being hijacked” it’s so sad and sounds like they are fighting for their lives
It's amazing how in those first minutes how naive and hopeful we were. In an hour from the start of the broadcast our world darkened and changed irrevocably. This absolutely deserves an award, I have watched so many broadcasts and none have sync'd with events this well.
I mean you really assume peoples reaction from the personalities on TV. You do know they're like that for a reason right? The callers and air traffic are better jists of how ppl were when it happened. Source: I lived through it.
@@DONKEYKONG260I lived through it as well - and OP’s reaction is also valid. I was in Philadelphia so it was a different experience. There was a lot of hopeful / confusion at the beginning. There wasn’t immediate info like there is now. So my college classes were canceled and I was just hearing “buzz” that there were some fires and / or a terrorist attack. It wasn’t until I was able to get To the commons where there was a TV - that we got some info. And yes the tone was very restrained. We didn’t have access to the first person POV - even relatively close by in Philly. So yes it was surreal. And I am glad documents like this exist to show the full event. It did not feel the same way as it happened - bc of all the confusion and secrecy. Like I didn’t see videos of the falling people until years later - I remember it being banned and people had to put effort into finding them.
You gotta consider that these were advertisements that probably ran like dozens of times per day across several television stations in the United States, the person who made this video picked out some unintentionally weird commercials that aired that morning which only seem eerie or predictive because we have retrospect. If the attacks happened on the 12th these ads probably still would have preceded them.
I’m 24, so I was a bit too young to remember this, but growing up in NYC it’s clear that this was genuinely a deeply traumatic event for so many people I knew. I remember my dad telling me about how it felt like the smoke stayed in the area for forever, how people for hours didn’t know if people they loved were even alive.
I can’t thank you enough for posting this. I was born on this day, and had family members that made it out the South tower. Hearing news broadcasts and seeing it all in real time just hours before I was born is insane.
i was just visiting in family St. Louis over the summer. i still wonder why it was raining like hell everyother week during july. im from cali btw so ive never felt the humidity and weather changes before.@@brandonmcgrew4367
This is incredibly well done, including so much, even the map of where that one lady was talking about at 1:08:00, and where cameras are filming from! This is an amazing historical resource, you should have it backed up somewhere in case since so much work has obviously gone into it. You really went the whole way with this, not leaving anything important out. Despite seeing so much about survivor accounts, this is the first time I’ve really felt the dread of it as someone who wasn’t around then. Seeing the planes taking off for their last time and seeing the timeline on the bottom left move to their hijack is chilling as well as reading passengers’ final messages to relatives. Especially learning about events like the flight 175 pilots seeing 11 about 5 minutes before they were killed and hijacked, then talking about that suspicious communication a minute before. Also frustrating hearing how slow the bureaucracy was, though also understandable for those involved who tried to understand the unprecedented situation as quick as possible - the 47 mins between takeoff and collision for 11 felt excruciatingly longer here.
Couldn't have said it better, as someone who was too young to have been there, i've made numerous 9/11 jokes bombs on planes etc, and never really understood because all of the other documentaries/vidoes are just so poorly done compared to this, THIS is damn near a time machine i feel like im working at a office with the news open on the other monitor experiencing this as if its happening right now, the nostalgic commercials, live events real time you never know whats going to happen next to the point so much is going on you dont have time to scroll down to the time stamps, is EXTREMELY eye opening and because of this youtuber ALONE, i will NEVER make any form of plane joke again
NYC native, though I was just barely old enough to understand what was happening. I was at school in Queens, my dad was stranded in Manhattan overnight, but fortunately far enough from the wtc to be reliably safe. My mom previously had worked in the empire state building, but she had quit to take care of my newbown sister. Not sure how I might have handled both my parents being in Manhattan if that was the case. Probably sounds a little funny to say, but I do remember being incredibly fond of the WTC, it was my favorite part of the skyline, iconic and always a symbol of home. I was barely 8 years old at the time, so it was pretty hard for me to understand the magnitude of what had happened. Even when my dad sat me down to try and explain that a lot of people died. I think it took me years to really grasp it. My childhood is very fuzzy but that is absolutely a day I've never forgotten.
So good to see this video go viral every year during September 11th. A traumatic event that should never be forgotten and may all the victims rest in piece
As a person born in 2008, I have lived my life completely in a Post-9/11 World. This video is insane, it feels like I was actually there. Thank you for sharing this with me and others like me who never experienced 9/11.
I think the one thing that can never be conveyed through any videos is the confusion that we all felt as the events unfolded. Watching this, we all know the intent of the hijackers, who they were, where the planes are headed. Experiencing it in real time there was such confusion, and uncertainty what would happen next. I was young and my step mother convinced me WW3 was about to begin, it was a surreal time to be an American.

Thank you very much!
4K isn't even enough! You could use a separate window for each major news station to just stay permanently "on", and perhaps as many spaces for the various audio feeds to have descriptions of what they are, plus cues of when they are actually the source of audio playing on the overall video at the moment.
This is a really well‑engineered video! Thank you!

You call to another plane thinking something is wrong with comms, but they respond just fine. Must have been extremely eerie for him.
That, and not too long after when United 175 reported passing AA11 and hearing the weird transmission… damn :’(
Literally like wtf I'd be appalled
dude look at the ad that played there too
@@Cocophont Lmfao I noticed the same thing
@@Cocophontyeah, that ad has got to be the creepiest coincidence of the whole day.
1:16:19 I can't imagine anything worse than realizing in real-time that the first plane wasn't an accident. For news reporters and the live audience, this was the moment it went from a tragic mistake to an act of terror.
That was me. I was a young girl living in Hong Kong. It was nighttime in our timezone, our family was watching television together after dinner. Then it cut to WTC on fire. No one knew exactly what was going on and we all assumed that was an accident. The moment the 2nd plane hit, we all screamed in disbelief and we heard our neighbours' screams as well.
That moment of sitting in front of TV and watching that plane crashing into the building have forever etched into my mind, and I cried so much in the following week with all the news about the people that perished on that day, and I am not even American. I can't imagine how an American child would feel like watching that and how much would that impact their mental health.
@@ChristineSK as an american child, it's terrifying. every year on 9/11 we talk about this day. from primary school to highschool we watch videos of people dying. I just can't even begin to imagine actually watching it in real life.
I was heading to one of my grad school classes; it was such a beautiful fall morning. I was watching live when the second plane hit. We were trying to find our sibling who worked in the financial center. It took hours to find our sibling and everything for us was fine. But I grieved for this and for everyone lost and their relatives just endlessly. But the sickening feeling was horrible - easily the worst I’ve ever felt in a way I can’t describe. I have lost multiple beloved family members etc but this hit in a place that still hasn’t healed and never will…
@FukpigTheshitterdestroye-co2wh I’m not disagreeing. I could see the government doing it, too. Either way it’s tragic, and the general public doesn’t have that intel. So it’s terrifying for them.
I was watching it all live from England, United Kingdom… when the 2nd plane hit, it felt like WW3 was starting over in the USA. It really felt like NY was under attack.
As a person who was born in 2005 (post-9/11) this makes me feel like I was alive during these attacks. This video is one of the best videos I have ever seen. Thank you very much for making this!
Thank you very much for the compliment!
I was 8 when it happened. I have the two VHS tapes my parents have of the news that was recorded.
@@littlemizredhead Wow, how was it? Maybe you can post those VHS tapes online kind of like this person did. I have always been interested in these types of incidents even though they give me a lot of trauma just watching them.
I was 18 years old, I remember coming into school and hearing everyone talking about it in the halls. Not many people went to class that day, we went to a multi purpose room and watched the live news the whole school day.
I would agree 100%! If anyone too young or not born yet wants to experience this day, this is a great way to see it. I was 24, working as an electrician. I was about 30 minutes late that day and got in about 8:30am. A bit later, I started getting my van ready, one of the warehouse guys told me a helicopter hit one of the towers. He knew that I went to NYC to see the skyline and the towers a couple years earlier so he wanted me to know. I didn’t think much of it other than thinking how some idiot helicopter pilot didn’t see the towers. As I was getting ready to leave, he told me it was a plane and another one hit the other tower. That was when all of us gathered in a small office and watched the tv in amazement until they both fell down. My first words after the first tower fell were “we’re going to war”. I honestly thought there was probably 30k deaths and we just witnessed it. Even though it wasn’t that much, there was still too many. I was listening to the radio and heard about the Pentagon. I was trying to work the rest of the day not knowing how many planes they had. We were expecting a lot more planes to crash in LA or Chicago or other important places. It was difficult to concentrate on work for sure. My work day finally ended and I was glued to the tv that night and every night for the next 2 months. After this day, America changed, society changed. We were all very united but fear, stress, paranoia and not knowing what’s next pretty much took over our lives. I’ll never ever forget that day and I go back and watch videos and watch documentaries and still try to figure that day out probably every 5-6 months and I’ll do that for about a week. I cannot help it whatsoever and will probably do this for the rest of my life.
Thank you TH-cam for recommending me this an hour before my flight
dang youtube is relentless..
😅😅
Ngl since 9/11 ive been scared to get on any plane going to new york. Early august this year(during hurricane whatever that hurricane was) i had to do a layover flight to LGA (which is in/near NYC). The turbulance feom the storms plus so many redirects that we had to land in detroit for gas (the poilet actually told us we were running out). I was terrified beyond mesure, and not gonna go on a plane anytime soon

One thing that has always blown my mind happened at 50:49 the two planes that hit the trade center came within 5 miles of each other before UA175 was hijacked. Those poor pilots had no idea seeing the already hijacked plane that they'd share the exact same fate minutes later.
I also thought of that 😢
I had never known that detail until this video. This video is remarkable and tragic.
On the map it looks like they crossed flight paths at different altitudes. The two plane icons are right on top of each other, anyway. And then later that Delta flight that nearly collided with UA175
@Mew2Winbecause a terrorist attack of this scale was never thought of. You are asking as if intel like we have today is ready and available at the snap of a finger. Dial up is still a thing. Facebook wasn't even off the ground yet. Don't look at this with 2024 eyes. Look at this with "we're 2 years into the 21st century" eyes. So many things were allowed back then. You could easily get a tour of the cockpit while in flight. Thought this would answer your question.
@Mew2WinThe fires were INSIDE the towers, not on the roof. No help at all to spray the roof
Back then I was pregnant and was watching this in horror like everyone else, then I felt my baby kick for the first time. My son is now training to become a firefighter. Thank you for making this detailed video.
Awh 🥹
This gave me chills. God bless you and your son!
Mkay...
hearing the reporter say “and it’s tuesday september 11th 2001” in a normal jovial newscaster voice is so eerie given what happened not long after. makes you realize most people had no idea what was coming.
Had Facebook existed in 2001, those people in the Towers would've probably been doing lives to show what was actually going on inside the Towers, so heartbreaking! I can't even imagine being there and seeing and feeling what they did 😢😢😢😢
Yes, and would things look quite different than expected. My guess is yes @@QueenAlexis556
Right?? 😢
Skill issue lol get over it losers 😂😂😂😂

i watch a LOT of youtube and i don’t say this lightly: this is the most impressive video i’ve ever seen. this should be shown in schools. its very hard to explain how our country completely changed in such a short period of time and this does such an incredible job at conveying that. thank you for putting this together.
Changed in 1hr 42mins
No? Brainwashing kids in school is not cool dude...
No plane footage at all, not a single frame.
No aircraft derbies ever actually found, only from the buildings.
Eye witnesses were all FEDS.
I mean come on isn't it obvius to you?
The problem with people is that they don't think for themselves anymore, think for a minute, when was the last time you formed your OWN ideas and conclusions, and not just accepted whatever you've been told?
If I could like this comment 10,000 times I would, couldn’t have said it better
Ver la cronología de como sucedió toda esto te deja en claro que nadie tenía idea de nada y no fue planeado
how did it change tho?
Something about the early morning commercials before anything went wrong frames the loss of innocence perfectly. I was about to turn 6 at the time, just at the right age to not understand the context, but to very well understand the fear in the air and the sense that something exceptionally bad had happened, something that the adults around me never thought was possible. The atmosphere living in the US forever changed in the space of the exact hours you've compiled here, and it's quite the feeling to "relive" it as an adult. This is an extremely important piece of media, thank you.
Thank you very much!
i was born in france a few years after 2001 but this video really lets me grasp at least a tiny bit of how the people watching the TV in 2001 could have felt; fear, terror, shock. an amazing video by all means
I was 7. I remember my dad coming to get me from school early and coming back to his house to watch the news. I don’t think I even know what the world trade center was until that day and I definitely didn’t know what a terrorist attack was.
@germanpotatospy1466 it was horrifying, i was 23 cleaning swimming pools in orlando. I heard it on the Howard stern show, i immediately drove home and watch for at least a whole day in shock. I will never forget that day.
This is similar to how Chernobyl was for me. I was not quite 5 and didn't understand why it was so serious but I could see from how everyone was reacting that it was exceptionally bad.
The "I think we might have lost her" about Betty as soon as the first plane crashed broke my heart. They already knew it was bad, they had no idea how bad it was about to become.
Yes. She was one of the first heroes. Who was able to provide information that could help. I cannot imagine the terror she was experiencing, but she set that all aside and made sure to do everything possible to help.
She was actually really hawt. Mmm

The 90s died at 8:46:40AM on September 11, 2001. Crazy how a single day in history can so monumentally change American history for the worse...
And the whole world with it. I was too young to remember but my Spanish parents told me it was shocking and that it was talked about for months afterwards
Modern history began at 8:46am on September 11, 2001. 911 is the only historical event I’ve known where everyone who was old enough to remember it remembered exactly where they were when it happened, even the people I’ve known who were from other countries remembered when they were when they heard about it.
The day america destroyed democracy all over the planet.
My mom pulled me and my brothers out of school for the day, and took us to the swimming pool. She was worried they would target schools next. 9/11 is burned in my mind as a day that the water was cool, and fun. I love my little brothers. The sky was so blue, the trees were so green. Every single adult around me was talking about the news.
@@JeanKhulGoogle I do care, stfu
I was at the base of the south tower when it fell. Somehow by the Grace of God myself and co workers survived. The loss of life we saw that day never leaves you. There was decapitation of body parts crushed bodies limbs and more. Seeing such horror but also experiencing the undeniable human love for one another helping those who were hurt, lost and confused. A well done production. Thank you.
Thank you!
Sorry, Michael. I'm so thankful that you survived. I was only there in spirit, as most Americans were, but I totally agree. That feeling has never left me. All these years later, I feel it all just like it felt that day. Only perhaps worse because we know how it goes now, but then we were gradually made aware of how bad it was over a period of weeks! To all the people here commenting that weren't born yet when it happened, please know this: we were scared that day, all of us...and angry...and hurting...not just for ourselves but for YOU! For you exact ones that had not come into the world yet. We were scared for the America that would exist (or not exist!) in the future when you would all get here. It was more death, pain, loss, devastation, insanity, chaos than I've seen before or since. But as stated elsewhere, I also saw more love, compassion, dedication, unity and strength than I had ever seen. It just shouldn't have cost us so much to find it as a Nation, and it is tragic that we have already lost it.
The South Tower did not fall. It was pulverized. RIP all victims.
Did you see a plane?
@@TraditionalSupremacy I was just watching on TV but that day I saw the first plane in replay and I saw the 2nd LIVE as it happened. My Granny spotted the plane and shouted "Look! It's another one!" Just as the plane entered the south tower. That was the moment we all realized it was intentional.
Christian, I say this with all seriousness: This video needs to be stored in the *September 11 Digital Archive in the Library of Congress* . Every 9/11 anniversary, I watch a realtime video here on YT (I was 30 when it happened), and this obvious passion project you so painstakingly put together with such accuracy and detail is truly *amazing* ...and so appreciated. Thank you so very much for your efforts. I will
I’m not sure why but flight 93 always bothered me the most. These people knew what was happening in real time finding out about the other planes going into the towers and realizing their flight is hijacked and then fighting for their lives to take back control of the plane. Think about how helpless you are in a tin can in the sky and not having any way of escape and pretty much knowing what the outcome is going to be and still fighting to protect other people by forcing them to crash in a field nowhere near their target saving countless others. Brave people.
No, they already knew they were hijacked before. The hijackers threatened them with boxcutters and a fake bomb to make their way to the cockpit. They only received Intel about what happened to the other planes when they started to fight back
I always think of Flight 93 passenger Jeremy Glick - his wife Lyz saying in a documentary "Jeremy just wanted to get home for dinner, to see me and his baby daughter again." It's the knowledge that they were just normal people like the rest of us, going about their day and suddenly being held hostage up thousands of miles in the sky, having to make decisions nobody should have to make.
one of the victims said "ladies and gentlemen, let's roll." his last words.
@@metallicock No the operator heard "is everyone ready? okay, let's roll." The plane was erratic, people were screaming and the 2 of them had just said the Lord's Prayer together. Honestly I find it uncomfortable how people focus on the "let's roll" quote as they try to turn it into some sort of entertaining superhero statement - when actually, the people on that flight will have been terrified as they fought for their lives.
The tragedy is that the passengers were aiming to overpower the terrorists and take back the plane. One passenger was a trained pilot and a flight attendant was on the phone to her husband at the time, who swore he could have helped them via instructions to land safely had they reached the controls. It was in the terrorists' disgusting mission statement that they were going to die that day either by crashing into buildings or into the ground (anything to avoid capture, like the cowards they were).
I'll never forget that morning. I had partied very hard the night before. Woke up to the cable guy showing up at 8am EST. By the time he installed it and we turned on the TV the news of that tragic day was already on. I remember seeing the 2nd plane hit and thinking, this isn't an accident, we're under attack. That crash brought me right out of any hangover I had. For every person who died and their families that are still suffering, my heart goes out to them.
Why were your partying hard on a Monday night lol
Might have been me, I was an installer back then.
Same I had partied hard the night before then my wife woke me up and I was in disbelief. The whole day seemed surreal.
@@the_boss2194 why not?
@@the_boss2194 I had just broken up with my then wife. Who doesn't get loaded after a break up like that?
I have never seen a presentation like this done so well. I remember 9/11, I was in third grade, I remember kids kept getting picked up early from school, one by one, until I also got picked up early. My dad told me what happened. I didn't really understand the gravity of it at the time, I remember being more concerned about whether or not the cartoon channels would be affected by the news coverage.
It shaped the world I grew up in though, and I do find it fascinating today. This is really so well put together, I feel like I understand the process of events better than ever before.
I was in the 5th grade and our teacher told us what was happening. She turned on the tv but it was after the towers fell. I was one of only 2 kids left at the end of the day.
I got picked up from school as well. I really thought it was the end of the world.
I was in the fifth grade and definitely remember getting home wondering why news was being played instead of the Simpsons reruns (yeah I was mad lol).
@@fzak47 Absolutely, I remember they used to play around 5 est on Fox, I watched them most days after school as well. Not that day though.
4th grader here, I still live in Costa Rica so no pick up but I remember watching a recap after the second attack, holy smokes my parents started to scream…
I saw them coming down as well, that sealed the deal for me and it’s something that is still etched in my brain today.
Dad needed urgent open heart surgery in the US at this time, it was until October that they could travel, all planes grounded until then.
1:13:25 literally brung tears to my eyes … reading that , with all my heart rest in peace to those loss during this tragedy! Hearing him say “I think they intend to fly into a building, dont worry dad if it happens it will be very fast” HEART BREAKING 💔 😢
That one shatters my heart. His parents lived a few towns over from where I live. He and his wife were taking their three year old daughter, Christine, to Disneyland. Knowing that sweet angel was excited to go see Mickey…and this happened instead…it haunts me. Every time I see the second plane hit, all I can think about is that phone call and his father hearing, “oh my god..” and the line going silent.
@@BookishDarkI can’t even imagine his pain and grief . I saw an interview with him years ago and he still got choked up repeating his son’s words ‘don’t worry, it’ll be quick.’ 😢
Good thing its a hoax, never happened.
This is so well put together it should be used in history classes. I was 13 at the time and watched it all unfold on TV with my family. Such a horrible day.
I totally agree on this. I think everyone not alive when 9/11 happened should watch this when they are old enough to handle it. History like this should never be forgotten.
Totally agree! I was in my 20's sleeping on my best freinds couch the morning this happened, when my buddy woke me up, I saw the 2nd plane hit.
Same here chuck
I was 12 living in Greece at the time and watched the 2nd impact live on TV.. I didn't even understand the definition of word "terrorism"
America never really recovered from that day... a sharp decline occured and its been downhill since then... they achieved their goal.
Obviously it's impossible now to recreate the experience of watching this live, not knowing the second plane, the Pentagon, and the collapse of the WTC was all coming. But combining the live TV with the ATC and timeline etc is very, very effective, this really is one of the best attempts I've seen to give a sense of what that day was like to live through at the time.
This dashboard video shows us, that America is not prepared for attacks. Where was the Emergency Broadcast System? I never seen one broadcast. Also at this time, the United States military was also not prepared. Even today, we still are not prepared from attacks or pandemics.
9/11 would have been much worse if flight 93 was not delayed for 40 minutes.
its not impossible
@@lebronjamesharden3958 You can't watch something happen live when it's already happened. You can't unknow that it happened. You may be able to create something similar artificially but you can't recreate the exact experience.

2:53:00 This embrace between two firefighters is incredibly touching. Even more so when you learn the two men are actually brothers, both of whom thought the other had died during the towers’ collapse. I can’t imagine the fear of not knowing, followed by the eventual relief of reuniting. Such an incredible human moment ❤
One was stuck in one of the buildings, and only found his way out a minute or two before it collapsed actually
If only we could care enough to investigate the event they gave their lives to protect others from, right?
I mean, everytime i see those firefighters nowadays being eaten up by cancers they got breathing in the towers' asbestos and all, asking for justice and being ignored by everyone (ignored by those that proudly cried saying "never forget" back then), everytime that comes to mind I feel a bit of my humanity fade away....

My heart aches for those who were lost. Thank you for all of your hard work! This is incredible.
It’s crazy how long it took for the news to report on the plane hijacking of AA11
Couldn't have said it better, as someone who was too young to have been there, i've made numerous 9/11 jokes bombs on planes etc, and never really understood because all of the other documentaries/vidoes are just so poorly done compared to this, THIS is damn near a time machine i feel like im working at a office with the news open on the other monitor experiencing this as if its happening right now, the nostalgic commercials, live events real time you never know whats going to happen next to the point so much is going on you dont have time to scroll down to the time stamps, is EXTREMELY eye opening and because of this youtuber ALONE, i will NEVER make any form of plane joke again
Truly a sad day for America

Yes it is hard to explain to younger people how if you were an adult this day, i was 26, how life now is like defined as “before 9/11” and “after 9/11”. It still feels like that event just happened for someone my age. And things started changing with the government starting to be so much in our lives after 9/11 because of laws they passed, tsa, and department of homeland security created. It’s like having lived 2 totally different lives before and after that day and this is hard to explain to young people. I imagine this is kind of the same phenomena that may have happened to those living before, during, and after ww2 pearl harbor or even the day before and after jfk assasination too. One day changed everything for us who were at least in our 20’s by 2001. Like literally, the 90’s were such a free time to live in america as the matrix movie predicted exactly that the late 90’s would be the ideal time to place the matrix in.

That's exactly why i'm watching this rn. To witness the very precise moment we entered a new era, in real time. It's easy to understand how many of you were traumatized, and how it's easy to target a whole foreign civilization as an enemy to destroy. Super frightening to say the least.
The 21st century was a chance for humanity to redeem itself after the mass holocausts of the 20th century. This was our introductory to the 21st century lol Shits never been the same. This was just the start.
Yes.
We lost our country that day. It started when JFK was assassinated, then MLK, then RFK, and the final blow was dealt on 9/11.
The aftermath that’s been going on for 22 years since can be seen and felt all around us. Our freedoms and rights have been eroding, our economy is in a spiral, our institutions have been compromised and as citizens (even amongst family members) are divided.
You’re not alone, I felt the loss of innocence that day.
Even as a non-american it's one of the things I will remember for life. I was 9 years old back then, living in Thailand, getting ready to go to bed when I heard my mom scream while on the phone with my dad in France. I ran to see what was happening, and saw what happened happening live on emergency news. We aren't americans, never been there, but we were crying our hearts out. No one should have had gone through that.
I was 9 too.
Except I went to PS 89 which was a few blocks from the tower. We were late for school and saw the first plane hit and decided we should go back home.
By the time we got to the train station, the second plane hit and we realized it was a terrorist attack.
Were there more coming? Were there gunmen on the trains? We ended up walking home that day.
I was 12 years old, I remember that i`m going to my friend's house (I live in Russia, it was about 5 p.m.) and I saw her mom watching a TV, she was shoked. I asked what happened and she told that terrorists had attacked America. I remember the footage of the towers and the replay of the explosion, it was a great shock.
@@Justy5 I was a bit older, not that it matters much. But also very far away and yet feeling we're all in this together. When I went to school the next day, some classes were cancelled so that instead we could talk to the teachers about the meaning of this.

I appreciate how he was right on it from the beginning. He stopped calling the plane as soon as the hijacker confirmed his presence by accident, so I bet he was sitting there listening for any more accidental transmissions, waiting for some intel which could possibly help. Along with everyone else in the airspace, like 175.

I don't fault her for her explanation. I can't imagine trying to explain the gravity of the situation to a room of 30 2nd graders. Especially when some of the students had parents who were still in the city
I was in my mom's womb when this happened
I was in the 5th grade in Brooklyn we could see from our school windows. I remember the chaos and pandemonium. My home in the days following was covered in dust and soot. We couldn’t reach family members for several days. And we lost my uncle but everyone else I knew personally survived. 😢
This real-time edit is an exceptional and poignant account of that fateful day. Kudos to the creator for meticulously synchronizing all the significant events. Undoubtedly, this endeavor must have demanded a substantial amount of effort. I genuinely appreciate how the events of that day are presented in a clear and easily comprehensible manner. For anyone with a sincere interest in the events of that day, this 4+ hour video is a must-watch. It offers a straightforward, real-time depiction of the day as it unfolded. It has greatly aided my understanding of what transpired, as I had never taken the time to grasp the sequence of events and the timeline. I was 22 when this occurred, and I distinctly remember where I was and what I was doing when the news broke. It was an extraordinarily devastating moment, yet also somewhat of a blur because no one truly comprehended the unfolding chaos, and the news coverage was frantic. Finally, after another 22 years, I can now clearly discern how it all unfolded.
I was 22 also. Almost 23 and think about this drama almost every day 😢
Everyone I know, knows exacly the moment they heard about the attacks. And I'm from Uruguay.
I was 21 and at work in England. Someone at work who had family in America had got on in touch with them and told them it happened. When news spread across the office I had imagined everyone had got out in time and that it was just the building that was damaged. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the video footage on the news that night! So so sad. 😞 💔
@@BascouMini same and im from germany this attack injured people over the whole planet.
The whole crash video followed by "What's going on Betty?" and "I think we lost her" are particularly poignant and eerie
If I remember right the video of the first crash wasn't found until many years later. Crazy how stuff unearths
I watched this video in its entirty at 2 am a couple of months ago and have not stopped thinking about it since. The level of detail convinced my brain this was happening in real time and had me itching to check for updates - despite realistically knowing it was 23 years ago! Genuinley brilliant work, I unserstand that you appear to be specifically interested in planes but if you ever make a video like this for another event i will be seated!
Fun fact about the hurricane shown in the very beginning of the video, because of the hurricane, the smoke in the air was pulled out to sea, making the area cleaner much faster than it usually would have been, possibly saving countless lives for the people breathing the air in Lower Manhattan.
God always has a plan.
@@napalm_lipbalm86 Your god chose to manipulate the weather, but didn't choose to save the countless lives lost in the actual tragedy? How very all-powerful of him.

1:00:02 “what’s going on betty” up until “i think we lost her” broke my fucking heart. The way nydia stayed so calm for her is so respectful. fuck
Must've been horrible for poor nydia
It's amazing how detailed this is. This must've taken a very long time to produce. Absolutely outstanding work. I was born in 2003, but my mom always told me how bad that day was. She had a friend who was working at the Pentagon who died when AA77 crashed into the building. This video made me feel like I was on the couch experiencing it in real time while also having an inside look at what was going on firsthand with the air traffic and NYFD radios. One of the best videos I've ever seen on this website.
I was born in 2003 too, though both my brother and mother witnessed such tragic event on the TV
I was in my moms stomach when this happened she says she was shocked watching it live on the news even being in Canada.
Yeah, watching this is the closest I've ever felt to being back on that day, it's a pretty good glimpse of what it was like. Only thing missing is everyone else standing around the TVs in shock.
I was born in 2001, 2 months after the tragedy
You mean the cruise missile
I think the part that hurts me the most is after the first tower is hit and before the second tower gets hit, after 1:11:50 you can see people jumping from the towers. It’s devastating to see these people without any options left.
Yeah it's so rough..
This is really well put together and laid out. Weaving so many insane experiences and stories from that day with all the atc recordings, phone calls, and media coverage into a perfect timeline while also keeping the unrelated anecdotal daytime tv fluff is actually brilliant editing. I've been watching this for two days and I'm only an hour and a half in beacause it's so meaty I gotta digest it little by little. There should be awards for this.
It took me a week to get through.
The government allowed it to happen
Thank you very much for your kind words. Highly appreciated.
I hear there was a job inside
As someone born in 2000 who's never had memories of life before 9/11 I feel this video is the closest I can get to experiencing how everyone must of felt that day. Especially the first hour of the video, everything was just normal, they had segments on the weather and local community events then bang! Random plane hits the tower, no one knows what's happening, everyone assumes it's an accident(outside of air traffic control) then you can feel the vibe change when the second plane hits. Appreciate this video.
Thank you very much for your words!
I was 17 working my first job in Canada amd it was just like that, we heard it on the radio amd I thought “that’s nuts” then after work after everything unfolded amd I couldn’t believe they collapsed. Then building 7, despite conspiracy theories it really felt like they dropped the ball on all fronts. Also afterwards the government did nothing for all of those who got sick from the debris.
Pretty much. People weren’t sure if it was an accident, if something happened to the pilot to cause them to lose control etc, then when the second one hit it was OMG something REALLY bad is going down! It was very scary.
I was just 2 weeks old and my mom remembers everything that happened that day. She said she was breastfeeding me at the time when the first plane hit and my older brother was on his way too school. I have no memory of that day obviously but RIP to everyone who lost their lives. Who knows how many more would have died if it weren’t for the bravery of those on Flight 93.
I saw the second plane hit live on CNN (it was not a fake news channel back then). I live in Indonesia and when i turned on TV i saw one of the towers already on fire. My mother asked whether it was a movie, i said no this is real. And then suddenly another 767 hit. No confusion anymore whether these were accidents or deliberate attacks.
those messages from family members on the planes are gut wrenching
This is the MOST educational video of the 911 I've ever seen and I have seen a big share. Brilliant video explaining everything
I cant even begin to think how difficult, time-consuming and mentally draining it was to create this 4 hour long video. This has to be the best compiling of TV broadcasting, events, radio frequencies, and footage I've ever seen before. This challenges professional journalism companies. I have never seen anyone do this and pull it off so well, it honestly gives me chills watching the Timeline tick closer and closer as the broadcasting part of the video is playing some irrelevant ad. You can listen to a raw clip of radio blip after another, but for some reason when its set this way its way more impacting every time you hear a firefighter talk into it. And I don't even know who you are, no where to donate, no where to actually realistically say thank you, but you still did this. Thank you
Thank you a lot for your kind words.

Commercial @ 27:57 The art behind the woman is 2 large rectangles (WTC) the lamp shows the planes trajectory going into tower 1. The Commercial itself shows her then throw a paper airplane with a note saying "im on my way" at the same time AA11 is hijacked.
F*cking insane...
That was not the way they had to go...
@@immigueljoie08Forsure. Had to rewatch it over and over. Couldn't believe my eyes
Now you're giving conspiracies more fuel.
I have little knowledge about politics but that is horrifying foreshadowing.
I was 33 when this happened. Living in Houston, my then boyfriend (now husband) was on the commuter bus heading to work. I called him after the first plane hit, and I was on the phone with him when the second plane hit. Downtown Houston was then evacuated because at that point the fear was that every major city was under attack. He got home just as the first tower collapsed.
My 18 year old daughter just watched this video and shared it with me. It is probably the most important piece of media she will ever see about this and what it was really like living through it in real time. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words!
This dashboard is incredible. Thank you for the effort you put into this. It really captures the totality of this horrible day.
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Im about 26 mins in and am genuinely shocked at how well made this is. It has all the energy of a found footage horror film. Massive props and thank you for the hard work in making this. Also a huge shot of nostalgia before 8:30 rolls around
The attention to detail on this video is incredible. A masterclass in editing and research, as well as delicate handling of a tragedy that is both informative and respectful. Well done!
Shut up
I remember watching this live, it’s important to recognize that even after flight 93 crashed we had no way to know that was the last hijacked plane. This all developed in quick succession through media coverage, and that level of fear and panic remained at a peak for hours if not days later. It was hard to even close your eyes lest something else happen to start it all over again
Yeah, even though I feel like they grounded all airplanes way too late it helped weed out any remaining in the sky slowly. Those hours are pretty intense.
I was 20 watching it live on TV and chatting about it on an old school message board. I'll never forget one poster making the quote "Bush is going to go apeshit and start bombing the hell out of someone". What an understatement.
@@Kraken9911 NO planescgi
@Jeff Boretti you're still believing "loose change" 15 years later ?
Exactly sunny. I remember all the false reports of attacks....remember guys on a bridge being stopped/arrested because they thought they had car bombs?? What a crazy ass day/week to live thru as a 12 year old
As somebody born after 9/11, I’ve always had a bit of a fascination with it, but neither of my parents like to talk about it, which I understand an respect. My father was in Crystal City when all of this happened, and when I heard about the third plane flying over Crystal City, my heart dropped. I haven’t told either of my parents that I’ve been researching it, in case it upsets them, but this has been such an eye-opener about what happened. It’s heartbreaking, knowing that those aren’t just buildings being hit, it’s also people, burning, crushed, and dying. To anybody who witnessed this in real time, thank you for keeping the memory of the lives that were lost alive for my generation and the generations after mine
i was born way after this. My grandma told me that before this happened, my dad was scheduled to be on one of the planes the day it hit the tower. but it got changed to the day before.
if my dad's flight wasn't early, he'd be dead, and I wouldn't exist.
I was only 9 months old when it happened and my parents don't talk about it either. All I know is my mom was feeding me cereal when she heard the news. My father was a Marine at the time and was immediately deployed out.
I witnessed it in class on the TV. I swear to you - like all the teachers united in one room to watch it on the tv. Us kids had no idea what was going on but you could cut the silence with a knife, man.
I was 7 when it happened, not even from the US. But the news was everywhere, we were scared for years thinking new world war was going to break out.
It's important for your generation to know about what happened. We said we will never forget. Well that only works if someone's here to remember after everyone who was alive at the time is gone.
"I think we lost Betty." Absolutely crushed me.
Thank you for adding in FDNY dispatch. The keying of all the radios when the towers collapsed is so eerie.
That part hit me the hardest on my watch this morning… I just imagine the terror of trying to hit your radio but realizing you’re about to die.
May all of those brave firefighters rest in peace… they were going into an absolutely unimaginable situation
I remember being in my 6th grade class, second period, and my principal (who’s since passed) coming in trying to explain this to us. I didn’t even know what the wtc really even was at the time. Great video. Puts a lot in clarity in retrospect.

As someone who works in the TV business (and was working local news in Edmonton, Canada on that day), I can’t fathom the amount of research and logistics involved with putting this dashboard together.
Kudos to you Christian. Excellent work by you!
The transmissions between people on the planes to ATC and other people working amongst them always sends chills down my spine. You can hear in their voices when they realize something is wrong, when they lose contact and fear the worst, when they lose contact and they sound defeated... wonder what was going through their heads at that time. You've essentially just listened to someone pass away without knowing it until later...
The guy requesting someone with authority to send military in the air asap 1:14:30. Christ that gave me shivers
It's harrowing and I'm very impressed by how well most ATC reacted. However, Cleveland seemed to be asleep at the wheel. In the context of three active hijackings he really didn't piece it together too well.
The audio that's the most intense to me is all the mics clicking as the towers fall. Just knowing it's all the firemen being crushed is stunning.
@@1nemann
The days after of all the people with missing persons flyers posted everywhere and the hospitals with no patients, was so heartbreaking 💔 #NeverForget
@bottomfragger it's not that they were asleep. Cleveland ATC is in control of one of the busiest air spaces if not THE busiest in the country. So the problem was force landing and tracking every aircraft while meanwhile trying to figure out what flight 93 was doing. Mind you ever large city west of NYC was evacuating people. I remember seeing video of downtown Cleveland and multiple roads being changed opposite to their normal traffic pattern to get as many people out of down town due to them thinking flight 93 could be going there. Chicago was the same way.
As difficult as it is to watch such horrible events, it's a very well-detailed and very informative video.
Thank you very much!
@@christiankoller80 thank you as well!

Very well said! I felt so “in the dark” when it first happened. It was my first year of college on the east coast, near Philadelphia. I remember class being canceled and watching the news. It felt so eeirie and calm without the first hand POVs and calls that’s are available now. It was so
surreal when it happened.
@@00st307-m Definitely. I think listening to the dialogue between the pilots and control was the most eye opening for me. I felt a twinge of anxiety whenever the caption said "this is the last time they communicated with the tower" or something like that. And I had no idea that one of the planes that had yet to be hijacked crossed paths with the first hijacked plane and reported its position to the tower--just minutes before they, themselves, got hijacked! What a crazy coincidence.
@@christiankoller80
I didn’t see anything about the other planes ???
No matter how many videos I've seen of this event, no matter how many years later, it still feels just so tense and haunting. The feeling at the first plane is hijacked and knowing in advance what was going to happen, seeing those falling from the building, the impact of the second plane, the collapse... it's just as horrific today to watch as it ever was.

@@z3v.. it's possible but very very unlikely. After this attack many things changed in aviation rules and security, as well as from what I've seen fighters are scrambled relatively fast when a plane becomes unresponsive now. In the USA at least

We have stuff like this every day here in Ukraine.
Just wanted to say thank you for putting this all together. I was in third grade when this happened and I am sure, like many other that age, had no idea how everything really went down. Thank you for all your hard work on this. Never forget.
1:08:58 the fact that the PA told employees to return to their desks is fucking insane!
My husband was working on a low floor of the North tower when the first plane hit.He's British,just in New York for three days work and had no idea-he though perhaps an earthquake.A Tannoy message came over telling everyone to stay put but another worker in the office had been there during the 1998 bombing and told everyone to get out fast.They all did and left very quickly,even before the second plane hit.My husband was hit by something which fell and was stunned.Apparently he wandered around until someone took care of him.When the first tower fell,they both ran,following the crowds.He'd recovered a little by then but his carer had disappeared so when he reached the river,he had no idea what to do.A tugboat captain asked where he was heading.My husband hadn't a clue what to do but was hauled onboard.A crew member looked after him as they crossed-on the other side the crewman saw a friend and told him to take my husband to the crewman's house.He stayed there for three days until flights resumed.The family were incredible,looking after him-he was still slightly concussed-letting him phone home to the UK.They have remained great friends ever since.visiting us here in Britain several times and we've gone to New York.The crewman was typical of the amazing kindness of New Yorkers that day-we'll never forget them all.
Reminds me of that Korean cruise ship that capsized. The passengers were told that everything was fine and to stay put in their rooms. The ones who listened got trapped and drowned as the ship slowly went under.

For those of you who didn’t live through this or aren’t old enough to clearly remember. This was a moment that really can’t be put into words the magnitude of this day. I can’t imagine anyone doesn’t remember that day vividly. Especially if you lived in the northeast.
For real. I was only 11 years old at the time but I remember the whole day vividly. It's probably the earliest day of my life that I can remember in its entirety. I have early memories that are a moment in time but it's strange how everyone alive at the time can recall their entire day as if it were yesterday and not 23 years ago.
Edit:I do live in the northeast as well. Just south of Boston. That morning a fighter jet flew over our house, probably on its way to Boston in the event of further potential attacks. I can still remember the roar of the jet and the ground shaking beneath our feet. I'm sure it was an optical illusion but it seemed like the jet was flying so low that it was nearly scraping the tree tops.
Spot on. I was 17 and on the southwest coast of Connecticut. It felt like the sky was falling - literally - all around me. It was so surreal. This day shaped the rest of my life. It shaped my entire adulthood. I’d graduated high school in June. Just absolutely surreal.
As a kid of a first responder and member of the military who grew up far from other first responder and military families..... yeah this day seems to get harder as I get older. Like the more I find out, the more it dawns on me just what my first years of life were like.
The moment of 2:12:20 of all the peoples radios going off, probably because they are trapped inside of the collapsing building is terrifying
Thats what i was about to find out
Did you hear the phone call from the guy who was trapped with some of his coworkers in the first tower? 😭 he was saying he didn’t want to die and was begging them to rescue them when he can be heard screaming OH MY GOD when then tower start to collapse. There’s a video they put it in realtime to the phone call 😭😭😭

This is actually saddening. I wasn't even born then, and I'm glad I didn't have to sit and watch that tragic broadcasting. Thinking at first, "what a tragic accident," then the second plane hits, and you think, "this is not just an accident." I also heard people who could understand what was happening, genuinely fear for themselves. This is just unreal, but I'm glad people create videos like this to educate others of horrors/tragedies like this.

Being someone who was born in 2000, this showed everything really well to the point of feeling like I was there watching this live. The 9/11 moments of silence in school afterwards always brought my heart to my throat. This was one of the turning points in Americas history that really changed the world.
Think how crazy it was to watch this live. I heard the first crash in work on the radio as I was finishing, got home to see the second one live on the news in uk. Weird day that was.
My son was born in 2000 also. I recorded everything as it was shown on the news that day and showed it to him when he was old enough to understand. I think when he was about 10-11 yrs old.

@39:30 amidst everything on this day, all the horror and tragedy, there's something about these two missing children being reported earlier in the day that really haunts me, knowing that there are probably many other horrific tragedies and emergencies just like it that probably disappeared forever amidst the horror of that day, and it's just another aspect that adds to the horrific tragedy.
Yeah this is definitely an aspect not many people bring up. Not just on that day but many days after people were understandably too caught up in this event to bat an eye at any others.

It's amazing how in those first minutes how naive and hopeful we were. In an hour from the start of the broadcast our world darkened and changed irrevocably. This absolutely deserves an award, I have watched so many broadcasts and none have sync'd with events this well.
Thank you very much!
I mean you really assume peoples reaction from the personalities on TV. You do know they're like that for a reason right? The callers and air traffic are better jists of how ppl were when it happened. Source: I lived through it.
@@DONKEYKONG260I lived through it as well - and OP’s reaction is also valid. I was in Philadelphia so it was a different experience. There was a lot of hopeful / confusion at the beginning. There wasn’t immediate info like there is now. So my college classes were canceled and I was just hearing “buzz” that there were some fires and / or a terrorist attack. It wasn’t until I was able to get
To the commons where there was a TV - that we got some info. And yes the tone was very restrained. We didn’t have access to the first person POV - even relatively close by in Philly. So yes it was surreal. And I am glad documents like this exist to show the full event. It did not feel the same way as it happened - bc of all the confusion and secrecy. Like I didn’t see videos of the falling people until years later - I remember it being banned and people had to put effort into finding them.
We all loss our innocence that day for sure
The foreshadowing throughout the whole video is insane.
The commercials before and during the attack got me ☠️
Yup
14:58
You gotta consider that these were advertisements that probably ran like dozens of times per day across several television stations in the United States, the person who made this video picked out some unintentionally weird commercials that aired that morning which only seem eerie or predictive because we have retrospect.
If the attacks happened on the 12th these ads probably still would have preceded them.
28:00. The first plane had just been hijacked
I’m 24, so I was a bit too young to remember this, but growing up in NYC it’s clear that this was genuinely a deeply traumatic event for so many people I knew. I remember my dad telling me about how it felt like the smoke stayed in the area for forever, how people for hours didn’t know if people they loved were even alive.
I can’t thank you enough for posting this. I was born on this day, and had family members that made it out the South tower. Hearing news broadcasts and seeing it all in real time just hours before I was born is insane.
You were born on 9/11/2001?
@@Mai.Calico yes I was. Born in St. Louis Missouri at St. Luke’s hospital:)
i was just visiting in family St. Louis over the summer. i still wonder why it was raining like hell everyother week during july. im from cali btw so ive never felt the humidity and weather changes before.@@brandonmcgrew4367
@@Mai.Calico I had to look it up because of curiosity. There were 13,238 babies born on 9/11. Somebody had to be.
@@Brad-cs9jy Interesting…Crazy to think how people were born on such a tragic day
This is incredibly well done, including so much, even the map of where that one lady was talking about at 1:08:00, and where cameras are filming from! This is an amazing historical resource, you should have it backed up somewhere in case since so much work has obviously gone into it. You really went the whole way with this, not leaving anything important out.
Despite seeing so much about survivor accounts, this is the first time I’ve really felt the dread of it as someone who wasn’t around then. Seeing the planes taking off for their last time and seeing the timeline on the bottom left move to their hijack is chilling as well as reading passengers’ final messages to relatives. Especially learning about events like the flight 175 pilots seeing 11 about 5 minutes before they were killed and hijacked, then talking about that suspicious communication a minute before. Also frustrating hearing how slow the bureaucracy was, though also understandable for those involved who tried to understand the unprecedented situation as quick as possible - the 47 mins between takeoff and collision for 11 felt excruciatingly longer here.

Dude, at 1:00:00 when the plane hits and the lady on the phone says "I think we may have lost her" wow...
@@pumalfonsoyeah, that was… I don’t know what to say. It’s just… unreal
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Couldn't have said it better, as someone who was too young to have been there, i've made numerous 9/11 jokes bombs on planes etc, and never really understood because all of the other documentaries/vidoes are just so poorly done compared to this, THIS is damn near a time machine i feel like im working at a office with the news open on the other monitor experiencing this as if its happening right now, the nostalgic commercials, live events real time you never know whats going to happen next to the point so much is going on you dont have time to scroll down to the time stamps, is EXTREMELY eye opening and because of this youtuber ALONE, i will NEVER make any form of plane joke again
NYC native, though I was just barely old enough to understand what was happening. I was at school in Queens, my dad was stranded in Manhattan overnight, but fortunately far enough from the wtc to be reliably safe. My mom previously had worked in the empire state building, but she had quit to take care of my newbown sister. Not sure how I might have handled both my parents being in Manhattan if that was the case.
Probably sounds a little funny to say, but I do remember being incredibly fond of the WTC, it was my favorite part of the skyline, iconic and always a symbol of home. I was barely 8 years old at the time, so it was pretty hard for me to understand the magnitude of what had happened. Even when my dad sat me down to try and explain that a lot of people died. I think it took me years to really grasp it. My childhood is very fuzzy but that is absolutely a day I've never forgotten.
So good to see this video go viral every year during September 11th. A traumatic event that should never be forgotten and may all the victims rest in piece
As a person born in 2008, I have lived my life completely in a Post-9/11 World. This video is insane, it feels like I was actually there. Thank you for sharing this with me and others like me who never experienced 9/11.
I was also born in 2008 as well!
Same here
i was born in 2008 too!
I think the one thing that can never be conveyed through any videos is the confusion that we all felt as the events unfolded. Watching this, we all know the intent of the hijackers, who they were, where the planes are headed.
Experiencing it in real time there was such confusion, and uncertainty what would happen next. I was young and my step mother convinced me WW3 was about to begin, it was a surreal time to be an American.
i was there
