9/11: The Emotional Scars - A Conversation with Colin

[@justdefy005]

More serious topics like this please, Colin is so intelligent and thoughtful!

[@thesvc2006]

Colin's passion for this topic almost brought me to tears. not ashamed.

[@alfighter27]

That was seriously powerful. Thank you, for putting it out there, and just sharing what that day was to someone else for me, who was just young and ignorant to the real horrors that happened.

[@brandonirizarry7017]

Good for you Collin and Greg for taking on this topic and all other tough topics you've taken on, both of you have always done a great job of keeping things professional and sincere so thank you for that.

[@JimTasty]

Mustve been tough colin! Respect for y'all

[@hajkthnx]

I got denied when I was trying to freelance for IGN ,but I am not giving up! Seeing how many times you got denied and how you worked hard and made it and are now great really inspired me. Thank you are pushing me to follow my dream! +Greg Miller

[@adamhines6151]

Thank you for sharing your story Colin. Hearing you describe the day gave me a new relization and emotion that i had never felt before towards 9/11. Absolute best conversation yet.

[@amarjamoo3468]

R.I.P. to those who passed away on 9/11, and to the New York emergency servicemen and servicewomen who risked their lives to save others on that fateful day. Those people are the true heroes of this world.

[@wildarms1190]

That was a very powerful conversation. Thank you for sharing that.

[@y2static]

Your dad's a champion. This entire convo made me cry

[@afistfulofvideos]

[@joshlaidlaw646]

Thank you guys for a great conversation and thank you Colin and Greg for sharing your guys' experience with 9/11. These serious conversation with Colins are good

[@matthewmenegus6347]

Easily one of the best episodes. Thank you Colin for sharing

[@NalyoGaming]

Seriously you guys sure know how to make a guy tear up..I needed that and I wish more people would watch this video just as a reminder of whats what.. It put's things into perspective.

[@montgomery96]

As a fellow New Yorker I can understand Colin's feelings on this topic. I am from about 45 mins north of NYC. My wife is also from Long Island. I was a Firefighter for about 5 years in my home town as well. Good topic.

[@Colinsugar]

Thanks guys probably one of the if not the best Conversations with Colin

[@Kylek8511]

Very very compelling conversation. Colin much respect for getting that personal.

[@OmegaGreedAK47]

I'm from Buffalo NY, and my dad is a Lieutenant Firefighters. After 911 his unit went down to NY to help. A large group of Firefighters from around the country went to NY city after. I will say it did bring the country together.

[@ipathskater4]

I'm from New York and I was in 5th grade on 911, I remember the teacher turning on the TV and we watched the planes going into the towers. Hard to forget that day.

[@Camzy84]

I'm really enjoying the sheer variety of topics covered on this channel. Keep up the good work.

[@doublejumpa]

Respect to all the brave men and women who died that day but what about the innocent Muslims who died in Iraq, Afghanistan and The ones who were arrested, tortured and killed? I'm not American and I know how you guys feel. I'm not trying to say 9/11 wasn't a big deal or anything. It was, but Innocent women and children die every month in 3rd-world countries and no one seems to give a fuck. I'm against giving other peoples lives more value just because they are American and BEYOND!

[@samsaunders1183]

Very intelligently said. Whole heartedly agree.

[@MrWazzup987]

I live in walden new york at the time and you could see the smoke from my house. walden is 80 miles away from NYC

[@PTthereal]

I know you don't owe it to anyone to do this show but thank you Colin for an honest and fearless response.

[@etelamkis]

One of the best Conversations.

[@Sean10thPlanet]

Good morning Greg, I agree with Colin , my bedroom window overlooked the NYC skyline and I watched the towers fall live through my window that will forever be burned into my mind .

[@newtypehack]

very good talk, and very (understandably) passionate from Colin.

[@matty2889]

Great topic Greg. It's been a while since I have seen Colin so passionate about an issue.

[@anakinsol]

Possibly the best topic ever simply because Colin has such a great connection to the topic. He's an American, a New Yorker, a history and government super fan, and the son of a New York Fire Fighter. I could have listened to him talk about it for hrs.

[@Aeonofdoom360]

I just want to send my love out there to Colin and his family. I can't imagine what all of that must have been like.

[@BluGameNTechTV]

Yes! This was something I remember asking you guys to chat about a few months ago :) Thanks for sharing

[@JakeAPoe]

Damn. Watching this during my free period in school and now I'm trying to not look all sad and depressive. Great talk.

[@louisa1167]

Good conversation. I'm from long island as well, I live in Florida currently, but my dad was in the NYPD at the time; he is retired now. I will always remember that day very clearly. A horrible day for Americans. But on a lighter note, have a good one guys. BEYOND!

[@fffx2]

I wasn't there, but I remember being on the bus to a field trip that day. Dad was flying into NYC for work, luckily his plane had already landed when the hijackings occurred, but we didn't know that. Dad's fine, but he witnessed the crashes from his hotel room a few blocks away. Seeing that sort of thing changes people.

[@dnaroi]

I want to personally Thank Colin for sharing his experience of that fateful day. I like many Americans experienced the horror of 9/11 on television and am still racked with emotional pain just thinking about the events, but to have lived in New York and experienced it first hand is a pain I wouldn't wish on anyone.

[@GiorgioTsukalos99]

Incredible episode, Colin is the king

[@JoeMomma81]

Even being in the second grade, I still remember the day over in Staten Island. Totally see Colin's point. The emotional scars for New Yorkers run deep

[@ringworm1123]

Guaranteed my favorite conversation!

[@Sadius551]

Chills, chills. Agree with Greg, though. I wasn't there but I remember everything about that day.

[@NobleMetalsGamers]

Props to your father and everyone that sacrificed that day, Colin. Serious topic but I still love it, I agree that people not only need to remember the amazing people that we lost but also the amazing America!

[@brianh2527]

Damn seriously powerful. Best conversation with colin yet.

[@TheReese1308]

I was not in New York, nor did I know anyone in the towers or that died working to save people, but every single time I see pictures, video, or even hear people talking about it I lose composure and cry like a baby.

[@Ivotech]

Greg, I was also in my first few months of my freshman year of college. What a welcome to the real world for us, eh? Much respect to Colin for talking about his personal experience - and much respect to his father for all he has done and given.

[@Sklein17]

Wow. I cannot imagine what Colin experienced given his father was a firefighter and he knew so many firefighters through him. The "deafening silence" comment is truly chilling. It's important to remember that greater Washington, D.C. and rural Pennsylvania also dealt with this day on perhaps a more personal level than the rest of the country as well.

[@Sklein17]

Made this comment before getting to the 15:30 mark when Colin mentions the Pentagon.

[@tallset85]

I just gained so much respect for Colin

[@DanTheManIAmPSN]

Nice summary, analysis and interpretation Colin!

[@TheHawkMirage]

This was a great video. Good conversation to hear.

[@Kotsoros37]

I still remember the whole day of 9/11 and I'm from Canada, was like 7-8 years old.

[@baileyjohnson-cavanaugh4133]

I was only 8 years old on September 11th, 2001. I grew up in Bloomington, MN, a suburb known only for "The Mall." Thomas Burnett Jr., one of the heroes of Flight 93, grew up less than a mile from where I lived. His parents still get their porch covered in flowers every year. I remember having the "Thomas Burnett Day of Service" every year in school. We'd get the day off classes to go do community work- stuffing envelopes to raise money for a good cause, things like that. Every time someone brings up 9/11 I am incredibly proud just to be from the same town as a man who showed so much courage. R.I.P. Thomas Burnett Jr.

[@WingedSoda]

Great job on this conversation. Kudos to Colin, it must've been an emotional conversation on his side. Great job all around though.

[@ashton8540]

Thank you Colin for sharing your story, i'm sure it was a rough topic given the personal nature of the subject.

[@TheNorang]

Respect for Colin. I only caught the glimpse of the seriousness when I went to New York for college.

[@basicoptimalmouse]

Every conversation with Colin ever: "...and this is my roommate Colin!" ~Colin looks down until Greg finishes reading the topic~

[@LastMinuteStudiosXVI]

God bless Greg and Colin.

[@Deka4891]

Excellent topic and conversation.

[@mikezehring6778]

Thanks for the video guys. I really loved this one

[@SnowyTaco]

I do agree with Colin on being there, I wasn't, I'm from Colorado and when the shooting happened in the movie theater awhile ago, I lost it and it is because of who you might know and what if. It is most def attached with what your used to, whether that is patriotism, you relate to what you're effected by. I also loved the compelling factor, it means nothing of what you know if you cannot see what happened in front of you. Good conv, I was in my 7th grade geography class when I heard about the news. I don't know why there was a entire subject devoted to geography and not just part of history, another frightening aspect about my youth, but thank you Colin and Greg for everything you've shared so far. It doesn't matter if it's sentimental or silly, you guys are always part of my tues and thurs mornings. Thank you for not letting that change.

[@longbottomleaf6918]

thank you for sharing your story colin.

[@DeoGloria]

Man i remember my mom waking me up when the first plane hit building 1 I was only 7 and didn't know what really happened but it was a crazy day.

[@jonasbergstrom9064]

Best conversation so far!!!

[@siggynohud8444]

good CWC i was just talking about this yesterday

[@johnhorigan186]

Greg, you better have hugged it out with Colin after this was done :)

[@anthonyrodrigues3806]

As a current member of the us army. I want to start off by saying that colins dad is a true American hero. I agree with colin on pretty much everything and am glad that he was able to speak his mind. Many people may never know what it is like to hear those bagpipes play but there is nothing like it absolutely heart wrenching. I thank you guys for your show and watch it all the time. There are many of us who still fight for true freedom and I hope those who watched this and thought negatively about our countries militarily knows that we do not all have the same mind as our leaders.

[@phillembl]

Topic: If you could live anytime in past history when and why would that be. Great episode btw

[@SoultakersGhost]

I was in 5th grade and no one was really talking about it. I heard about a building collapsing in the middle of the day at some point while eavesdropping on a teacher (my aunt) and the librarian. I then got to hear the bigger story by my aunt and the librarian talking after school. I got home and my other aunt had it on TV. That is when I really saw and understood what happened. I couldn't help but watch it over and over. It was so sad but so unbelievable.

[@EvanTeich]

I remember going to a funeral in the Bronx about a week after the attack and still seeing smoke rising out of Manhattan. Powerful stuff. Thank you, Colin and Greg, for tackling the heavy topics as well. A topic for Colin in all seriousness: would you ever consider going into politics?

[@gta2145]

This episode was awesome,Beyond!

[@tysonparman5998]

I remember going back through old files on my computer and finding a crappy old Paint file that was a tribute to 9/11. I was about 12 years old at the time and was having a good chuckle at my 12 yr old self. After looking at it for awhile, however, I remember what I was feeling at the time of making it. Kind of an eerie feeling, but powerful. I remember forcing myself, back then, to realize that this was the most horrific attack that has ever happened on American soil. Still hard to frame it that way years later.

[@DecoyOctopus96]

I was in kindergarten, the teacher called us in from recess and turned on the news. My mom picked me up from school and took me home. Trust me, it affected people nation-wide. I'm almost eighteen now, and I remember it like it was yesterday. But you're right, I'll never know what it was like to be there, or to know people who were there.

[@Whitephoenix98]

You were in kindergarten and remember it like it was yesterday. Riiiiiight.

[@DecoyOctopus96]

What is so hard to believe about that?

[@DecoyOctopus96]

It was a substantial moment. I don't remember much else that took place at those ages, but you remember things like that.

[@KeyserSoze3602]

Pixelated88 you would remember something like that een if you were very young.

[@DecoyOctopus96]

Thank you, Keyser.

[@IronicSteven]

I remember watching live as the first tower and second tower dropped. Being so shocked at these events that I watched the live cnn coverage the whole day.

[@NalyoGaming]

what a good conversation..

[@ResidentBen4]

For someone who lived in the UK, the London bombings were terrifying and truly shocking. We lost many that day and ofcourse while it was not on the same sort of scale as 9/11 it was still a powerful enough event to cripple England. My thoughts go out to everyone who was affected by these traumatizing events, the victims families and those who lost their lives.

[@TheDeadreckoning666]

Colin got a lot more personal than he needed to. I appreciate how open he was in this video. Although I'd love to hear Colin's views on whether 9/11 was an inside job in a future conversation, this conversation was clearly about the emotional aspect of that day...not who is to blame for it.

[@R0bDC]

I agree with Colin, I had no emotional connection in New York. And I am truly sorry for the lives that were taken; fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts, grandparents, children. Etc. but no one will ever understand how Colin, or his father, a New Yorker or a firefighter felt that day. It is truly a tragic event that will haunt the memories of thousands who experience it first hand.

[@masenko25]

Awesome episode as always. Topic: If you could get rid of one Internet meme, what would it be?

[@michaelstapleton6464]

yea i like that as a topic

[@simcard7]

Good Morning Greg (Afternoon Here), Hope all is well with you.

[@coreym8145]

i live in the uk and i remember that day and i was a kid at primary school. I came home from school and literally 5 mins later one of them collapsed.

[@Kristionmeds]

that plane in shakesville got shot down I was living in cleveland at the time our whole school saw that plane fly over lake eire then about five minutes later two F- 16s were right behind it

[@DatFunnyStuff99]

It's a lot different for New Yorkers, you know people who died and your parents were trapped in the city and you thought they were dead. It was terrifying.

[@Cal13245]

As a Brit even I remember 911 and how awful it was. My entire school closed and we gathered in the IT centre with projectors to see what was happening, the religious went and prayed and all life came to a standstill whilst we hoped as many people as possible survived. It was an awful day and I am afraid that Colin is correct, the terrorists did win that day.

[@JoseAlvaradoCorpsman]

Where did Colin buy that shirt? i like it.

[@TJFtheGREAT]

I remember that day, somewhat well. I live in Pennsylvania, not far from were flight 93 crashed actually. I don't remember much, just that everyone older than me, as I was only 7, were more distraught and upset than I have ever seen.

[@iownalx23]

i was at the downtown area in my city. i was young and dumb so i thought it happened here in cali.

[@caigor]

I'm only 20 but I remember being a little brazilian and watching this shit on the news. It was so scary mother didn't even let me go to school that day, and although I couldn't really understand what was going on, the moments when the second airplane hit and when that beast of a fucking tower came down were just horrifying. On a more cheery note, I'd like to know about what Colin thinks the worst features in game are ? What makes him hate a video game ?

[@tj_the_leo]

Just wanted to say that it wasn't just American's who were New Yorkers that day, the rest of the world (including us here in Canada) had a lump in our throat for weeks and months after. Our highschool raised thousands of dollar's within days of the attack.

[@toxicink72]

A conversation with Colin: Pokemon!

[@yumitokushige8486]

Do you have new Colin shows?

[@StudiosInti]

iRemember iWas asleep & my grand father (R.i.P) woke me up & said come look at the tv, @ 1st iThought it was a movie then reality struck.

[@raulsauce12]

Never forget.

[@blackfrancis33]

Wow. Best one yet.

[@candyandarmageddon]

A conversation for Collin - Do you think that America and the UK still have a special relationship? I'm from the UK, studying modern history, and would like to have your insight. BEYOND!

[@alfredoalcantar2761]

Beyond! Have you ever ate your oreos like a cereao? Just grabbing a bunch and outting them in a bowl to eat.

[@teejmorrison]

Good conversation! I'm gonna agree with some other comments and say that it'd be interesting to elaborate on the conspiracies. Yes, it's ridiculous that no one would have spilled anything yet.. but maybe crazier things have happened?

[@kalvindaniel1177]

How do you deal with rejections from girls?

[@FONZEARELLANO]

"Historicity", seriously had to Google that. Thanks for forcing me to use my brain Colin!

[@variablegamecasts2488]

Camera Fail?.. I need closure on that anecdote...

[@HarryHeath_]

Hey Greg, Just say hi to Colin for me! He's a true lad but he never gets as much recognition as you. This Is just a bit of an appreciation moment for the great mind that is, Colin Moriarty :)

[@HarryHeath_]

Not that you aren't haha! You're also awesome greg haha :P

[@plusminusequals7734]

I'd like to hear Colin's thoughts on the Westboro Baptist Church.

[@michaelweir8497]

9/11 was devastating to the country, but the following expensive war of attrition has proven to be even more devastating.

[@cloudbloom]

is Greg older than Colin? I was a senior in high school during 9/11 so Colin must be around 32 or 33, and Greg said he was in college. just curious

[@Promethius8]

+cloudbloom Greg's just a year older than Colin.

[@poppie714]

This video got posted right at 9:11 am for me. That's creepy as hell...
