Sydney Clark I feel like a lot of the kids look like their fathers and that's what makes it so eerie and chilling.

[@angiecole09]

The resemblance of the kids to their father was really magical for me. Although of course that's because of DNA. I felt like their eyes look exactly the same.

I remember watching this on the 10th Anniversary in 2011 and crying to myself because the amount of sorrow you must feel for them not knowing your own dad and finding out that he died in the Cowardly Attacks on 9/11; but in the end, when they are told that they either saved others or did something for someone on that day makes them all proud Please do the picture again on the 20th Anniversary in 2021, it will be a monumental thing to have all these 20 year old’s remembering stuff like they did in 2011 which was Inspiring!! God Bless everyone who died on September 11th 2001 and the families of the fallen, also to the families of the troops who have died in the US Armed Forces in Afghanistan since 2001 protecting us from further more bloodshed ... God Bless you All!

[@BMarie774]

Something strikes me here. I remember one of the mothers who lost her husband in 911 saying “it was like a nightmare. I just wanted to wake up”. I don’t remember which mother, but I believe she had daughters already and then had her son after her husbands passing. That just strikes me because this little says how he dreams of his daddy, and how then he wakes up, and he sounded so utterly disappointed and sad about waking up. It’s sad how that works. When it happened, everyone wished they were dreaming and would wake up and it’s all have not been real. But now? These kids dream about their lost parents and don’t want that dream to end too quickly. That’s so sad...

Very sad. They should have something for people who lost their moms on 9/11. My aunt actually died, not on 9/11, but years later from cancer and we think it's bcuz she was near the buildings during the attacks. She died in 2010 but isn't counted alongside 9/11 fatalities. I feel really bad for my cousin cuz she basically grew up without a mom.

[@WickedlyMe328]

They are counting those who have documented cases of cancer/illness from the exposure.

This is haunting. Many of these kids, although they do not remember one or both of their parents as a result of the horrible events on that day, seem to be rather emotionally mature at that time, like they know they never knew anything that happened.
