60 Minutes 9/11 Archive: An American Town

[@SuzukiYNathie]

Todd Rancke did not survive the attack. His family believes he had time to escape but remained to help others.

[@hint0122]

Did they ever find his remains?

[@SuzukiYNathie]

@@hint0122 Yes, they found them in April, 2002

[@edyann]

I'm not American but I think everyone in this world remembers exactly what they were doing the moment this tragedy happened.

[@TheMrNicke]

Agree. 
 I myself was 12 years old, just started 6th grade at a new school. At home economics I burnt my hand on the oven making cinnamon buns. After feeling a bit dizzy I went to my grandmas house, waiting for my mother to come pick me up after work. Laying on the couch I suddenly heard on the radio, ’An airplane has crashed in to the WTC on Manhattan’. 
Not knowing much about WTC I became interested and turned on the TV watching it all dramatically and tragically unfolding.

[@MH-nq2mh]

True i remember that day

[@genxer6928]

No I forgot

[@edyann]

@@TheMrNicke Oh, sorry- I hadn't received notifications for this thread until the last one with their selfish reply that they forgot. You were so young! I was about to turn 24 so I have very vivid memories. The day stood still, it seems. Never forget.

[@islandbirdw]

I was on a ferry boat mid Puget Sound and I commuted by vanpool, we all couldn’t believe it at first then captain stopped the vessel and on the PA said that both twin towers, and the pentagon had been hit with commercial airplanes. He said all aircraft had been grounded until further notice. It was just surreal but when it sunk in I was in semi-shock I guess. I looked at Seattle skyline really expecting to see another plane crash.

[@trevormwabulabrookings]

Its 20 years ago and I still remember this unforgotten event. I am watching this from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬

[@thethrowawaythatstayed7055]

Watching from Australia. Can’t believe it’s 20 years..

[@TGEGaming224]

Real journalism right here...

[@Lolaandcassidyadventures]

Lol. CIA mocking bird media isn’t journalism. It’s all propaganda.

[@studiotodd]

Out of all the hundreds of news reports I saw immediately after 9/11, this is the one that stuck with me for the past 20 years. I always think of it when I look back to that time. She keeps such a strong and determined front until finally, at the end, the desperation and heartbreak comes pouring out when she begs them to "Please if you can help us in any other way...just whatever you can do," and then whispers "He's my whole life." Just devastating...brings me to tears every time.

[@tamtamj8787]

The picture of the falling man says everything about the horror of 9/11. An image i will never get out of my head. That poor man. Those poor people. All those lives cut short. So much pain caused by such a horrible day in our history. That poor women searching for her husband was heart wrenching. So many others doing the same thing she was doing. He should got out that sec like she said if he could.

RIP to all of the victims who died in the World Trade Center attacks on February, 26, 1993 and September, 11, 2001

I was on the 63rd floor of One WTC when the bomb went off in 93. I remember not really being that scared until we got into the stairwell. It got smokier & smokier the lower we went. More crowded too.

[@roz805]

No matter how many years go by, 9/11 and the horrible weeks & months of devastating grief that gripped our nation, is still so very raw in our memories. I suspect for those of us that lived through it, all the memories - the horrors and the many selfless acts of kindness & good will of the citizens of NYC & the unification of the right & left- all of it - will never fade. Loving thoughts go out to the families. God bless America ✌🏼🇺🇸

[@dvchel]

@roz805 Yes. The *power* of strength and love.

[@pimpc599cc]

😭 we will never forget

[@genxer6928]

[@donnybrascocoliogne819]

I woke up and heard my Wife gasping pointing at our television and plane already hit south tower...My first reaction was "WOW, THIS A BADASS MOVIE"...My Wife assured me that it was REAL, and LIVE. I will never forget the horror of it...

[@saralacotti7014]

When I first met my boyfriend, one of the first stories he and his parents told me was how he drew something about 9/11 and it was featured on 60 minutes. Minute 2:19 you can see my now 29 year old boyfriend Will, with is sister and mom Ann. They have searched everywhere for that drawing.

[@shanemurphy3186]

The final 30 seconds are so hard to watch… I hope they found some peace eventually.

[@LindaCasey]

I suppose DNA was the next obvious step ... I wonder if she ever found him or his remains.

[@miltonclark1526]

Never forget! R.I.P to my cousin Sgt. Clark Afghanistan after this tragedy 😢 just sad for all of us 9/11 Never Forget!

[@jws1948ja]

To this day this is so painful.

[@armandoenriquez1104]

1 week ago, before 53rd Emmy Awards were started in Southern California.

[@kaeso101]

That was so painful to watch... i almost cried

[@broncodeviltexas]

I've gone to work , got my coffee, then I have to decide to burn or jump.

[@nicoleholley7049]

What is the man's name that took pictures of the towers that he said he didn't see planes?

[@swankybutters8371]

I don't know but my guess would be he was someplace were he couldn't see the actual plane hit cause planes hit those buildings, there is no doubt about that.

[@Eli-ss9gj]

For every one person that said they didn’t see a plane, there’s a thousand that said they did. Millions of people were in the vicinity and saw it transpire live

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

The worse attack on America in our history. A great report from Ed. Rip.

[@MaryjaneLove]
