Scott Strauss Full Interview | 9/11 20th Anniversary

[@susanstrauss5426]

My Brother My Hero!!!!

[@Dethri]

Your momma better get after that cough of his.

[@christinamanninosoccoa7986]

May God bless him and continue to watch over him as the horror of that day is still effecting him. Not just mentally, which is a nightmare all on it’s own, but his health. I’ve seen a few of your brother’s interviews, as well as the movie, and he is an absolute hero. I can’t even imagine how scared he must have been and he didn’t give up on these men. When he talks about his kids and just wanting to go home and hug them and tell his wife that he loves her, it breaks my heart. The world needs more people in it who are like your amazing brother. Sending love and prayers ❤️🤍💙

[@amy109]

Please get him to a doctor if he hasn’t been already! That cough 🥺😔

[@jochapman7200]

He absolutely is. People throw around the term 'hero' when someone does what their job requires. Scott went above and beyond, at imminent threat to himself, so the word hero absolutely applies. God bless him and all who sacrificed themselves on that day.

[@lorivanderhaden2851]

What a stupid thing to say.@@Dethri

[@redraptor9688]

This "Will" guy....the fact that he kept being selfless even as he is buried in all that rubble and thinks he's probably going to die, it just leaves me speechless. That level of honor and selflessness is so rare and admirable

[@bobporch]

I could not agree more.

[@SeattleMarinerMan]

Bro watch World Trade Center. It’s literally about these hero’s

[@victorpeirce4753]

​@@SeattleMarinerMan World Trade Centre movie is terrible. How dare they make money off this terrible tragedy by making a D grade movie off it. It's not even worth watching it's so badly made.💯%

[@missJolie85]

@@victorpeirce4753 This guy is left with such admiration and respect for these people after watching the movie, So I don't really see the reason for you to knock him for that statement, let him enjoy the movie if he wants.

Why does the interviewer sound like he’s talking into a fan lol 😅

[@rca6576]

Scott really earned that medal of honor. What an incredible human being. Thank you for your service, sir.

[@linrogers4326]

I’ve watched a lot of these stories and the absolute bravery of the firemen and police is amazing. This man is a hero.

[@francopasta3704]

What this man did moving into that nightmare to save others takes more than courage. Humanity at its finest.

[@bonnierobl6747]

Pardon me.. but this guy is a God damn hero and he always will be to me... what he did with them other policeman that day no one will ever be able to do again

[@tommysimmons3258]

You can Thank the marines that found the 2 cop's.

[@tkaeu]

Officer Strauss, thank you for your enduring courage and fortitude, along with the compassion you brought to your job, the rescue efforts! It is apparent the work you have done over the years has made a lasting impact on you! May you be blessed with many years ahead surrounded by loved ones! All honor and respect to the First Responders who gave their lives on 9-11 with the determination to save lives!

[@rachelmartin3631]

You can tell by Scott's cough that he suffered some serious lung damage. I hope he's getting treatment. Scott's a hero who gave his all and shouldn't have to suffer.

[@umavidalongedecasa]

The internet detectives have arrived everybody! We're safe! I absolutely love when people assume things without having a single clue of it. Yes, yes, "severe lung damage", not a cold, or just a dry mouth, no no, it was a severe lung damage said the internet detective doctor. Made the mistake of checking the first comment...

[@KarmasAbutch]

😂

[@ganymededarling]

​@@umavidalongedecasawell this was a cringe comment

[@liamweaver2944]

@@umavidalongedecasa Don't be an ass. It doesn't take a doctor to know that Scott inhaled some nasty shit at ground zero that has caused respiratory problems for him and his fellow first responders that were at the site. We can argue semantics for days, but the bottom line is that he's clearly not physically well, and he should get treatment ASAFP. His cough is noticeably unusual and concerning.

[@Lisboooa]

He has the cough through several videos over the years. Of course he has damage to his lungs. Patty who was there with him said he coughed blood and dark stuff.

[@stephaniels5421]

Thank goodness for people like this man. The 'helpers' are certainly the finest of us all.

[@wandarask8444]

I live in Melbourne Australia, I watched so may episodes of and about 9-11, How beautiful knowing there are people out there who give all for the community, and the people it makes the world feel a little softer. Thankyou x

[@bretthumphrey6821]

Just wanted to say you are awesome I wish there was more people like you in the world I love that you stayed to help that port authority officer both of them that took care gouge and heart and love balls am sorry you guys all had to go through this it was such a trable day horrible I really appreciate you all glad you are ok

[@jennconducts]

Bless this man and his colleagues. I worry about his cough and if it's the result of the air that he experienced.

[@bobporch]

It's called the World Trade Center Cough. Virtually anyone who spent any amount of time down there, especially the first week, has it. Ground Zero was the worst toxic waste site in the history of New York. More rescue and recovery workers have now died of 9/11 related illnesses than the number of of people murdered outright on 9/11. SeaMac Team1 to other members of Teams 1,2 &3.

[@jennconducts]

@@bobporch yeah. So very sad.

[@bobporch]

@@jennconducts They created a new special section at the Southwest corner of of the 9/11 Memorial called the Glade. It is dedicated to all those who have died and were sickened by the toxins down there. 9/11 continues on.

[@jennconducts]

@@bobporch I'll look forward to seeing that. My visit to the memorial and the museum was life changing. I lost a friend in the Pentagon attack. He was on the plane.

[@bobporch]

All of these Officers are so humble and downplay their heroics. At the end, Officer Strauss says the movie WTC isn't about the rescue; it was about the 2 injured PAPD Officers keeping each other alive. I beg to disagree: it was about both. I arrived two days later from out of state and was with some construction workers helping the ESUs. The way I heard it, they tied a rope around Scott's waist in case of a collapse: not to pull him out, but to lead them to his body. I have no doubt that he meant it when he said he thought he would die down there. Just being around those guys, I learned something about Real Heroes. Death isn't the worst thing. Bailing out and letting a fellow Officer die: just not in his genes. Everyday these Officers put themselves in harm's way. He made me laugh when he said he heard all the cheering and thought he must be riding in a fire truck. Thank you for creating this video. After 21 years I just found this channel. SeaMac Team1 to other members of Teams 1,2 &3.

[@sharktoothgamingandfishing3524]

Incredible story

[@christinamitchell6796]

This is amazing I saw this particular story it was on the movie WTC with Nicholas cage. It's amazing this the guy who helped to free them😳❤️ The bravery and selflessness even of Dominique who was free and could have left his team and died trying breaks my heart sooooo badly. I was so sad like I had been there. But nothing but love and respect for the bravery of those who didn't survive and those who did.

[@PutDownTheBunny]

Thank you Scott Strauss! Your account is worth beyond anything.

[@maureent8653]

Wow thanks Scott, amazing interview, thank you. I was home sick that day from high school. It made me a stronger American🇺🇸 We will never forget ❤️🤍💙

[@bartholomewhunt1874]

All that time around ground zero must have damaged his lungs it was hard to watch with all that coughing

[@CO2Giger]

Great interview!!!!

[@yvonnnelalor6162]

I have no words to express my feelings here. But my heart is full of love and gratitude for the fact people like this man and his comrades exist. The word Hero, or any other word for that matter, is inadequate to describe them. May God bless all of them. And Oliver Stone was right. This is without doubt the scariest thing I've ever heard.

[@victorpeirce4753]

*Scott is still suffering to this day physically with that "Groundzero Cough" I'm sure he's had it checked,but definitely needs to stay on top of it,but with American Healthcare being so siht, I won't hold my breath. Scott would have ingested so much of that toxic smoke and dust, that it's not a matter of if, its when.😥😥*

[@amandac7270]

I’ve heard this story a hundred times and I still can’t believe they got those officers out with their bare hands. I also can’t believe the rescuers didn’t get killed either. Amazing story.

[@deltaboy767]

To this very day I can't go downtown without having serious flashbacks of that fateful day. I just can't do it.

[@tracyhudson4736]

I watched wills story first now this. Gives me goosebumps and tearful eyes but a hopeful heart in humanity! ❤ thank you heroes and angels

[@uscitizen4172]

Scott is our Superman!

[@v.p.6593]

13:42 Certainly the buildings withstood the impact of the planes as predicted. The problem that caused them to collapse was the high temperatures of the fire, which lasted too long, and which caused the metal structure to weaken and become deformable. This caused the collapse. At that time I had already studied construction and building structures and seeing the images of the tremendous fire I realised the situation. I said to my brother, who was with me watching the TV: "That building is going to break". I did not think of a total collapse, but rather a tilting of the part above the fire and the falling of that part to one side. But in the end things went in the worst possible way...

[@francopasta3704]

It wasn’t the structure that was compromised…

[@joellenjohnson4038]

THANK GOD FOR MEN AND THIER STRENGTH SO BRAVE

[@moceri55]

Thes are the unsung heroes of the day.

[@Great-Documentaries]

Correction: Their "faith" didn't do a damned thing for them anymore than it did for the 1000s who died horrible deaths that day begging their nonexistent deity to save them. *Humans created the gods, not the other way around.* NEVER forget that.

[@heatherhansen3664]

In times a immense tragedy the endurance of the human spirit prevails. Im thankful and so proud of all the brave firemen and policemen for doing the jobs many would quake in fear if facing it. They dont think theyre are heros but they truly are. They were the last comforting voice of those needing help, the last reassurance that the victims were not alone or forgotten, the last face and hand to see and touch before rescue or leaving this earth. They are all worthy of celebration and unending praise. Thank you for everything!❤💙
