I remember the day vividly. I was in high school on Long Island at the time. They locked down the school, every parent/guardian was contacted to pick up every student and all faculty was told to not discuss what happened until we went home (since we could have known people that were affected). I would see teachers sobbing and we all knew something bad happened. Near the end of the day, we then saw some students running and sobbing down the hallways with faculty members, at that point I went up to my teacher and asked "whatever happened, is it that bad?" She said "It's even worse than anyone could've imagined, I'm sorry I can't say any more." My mother picked me up and told me what had happened. We were very close to losing family members and friends in the city that day, they were luckily out of the areas by the time they came down. We knew too many people that lost close ones.

Now, I’m sure even you could use your mind to understand that, as a fifth grader, to witness a T.V. cut on by it’s self that year without any introduction or verbal prompt…was worrying and confusing.

[@JenelleD12]

This is local news. It wasn’t silly. It was the news that night. Before 9/11 changed life as we know it, the news was pretty boring. It was also before we had numerous 24/7 news channels. Local news used to air like 11pm, discuss random things around the city and Jersey, and it was like a half hour. You probably didn’t mean it to come across the way I’m reading it, but it seems like a dig on the anchors. Definitely the difference a day made in the news shows how quickly life can change forever. The night before almost 3,000 people were just going to bed, getting ready for their millionth Tuesday of work, or their early morning flight, just another Monday night, we never go to bed thinking this could be the last time. It’s horrifying.

So glad that these broadcasts are archived for the historical record.

I was only about 5 years old when this happened and vaguely remember it being reported on TV moment by moment. To this day, I still can't wrap my head around how things like this occurred. It's not only the ones in the planes, but the firefighters, the doctors and nurses, and anyone amongst those who put their life on the line in the name of humanity, in service to the vulnerable, to those who needed help. For those who were at the scene trying to comprehend the magnitude of the situation, looking in horror at those trapped in the buildings... That powerlessness, the guilt that slowly eats you up because you're right there and find yourself unable to do anything to help or save them. It breaks my heart seeing how those firefighters and emergency staff who were first responders to the site talk about their accounts on it. You can clearly see how they're never able to move on from it. Because it will haunt you for the rest of your life as you live, as you think about those people who did not have a chance at surviving. Even though I'm not American, and I was not even close to being near American soil, it's about your humanity. It's the sheer horror of it all. At first you're incredulous, you're in shock. It doesn't dawn on you in full, but then it all comes crashing at once and you realize the true magnitude of the situation unfolding before you. For those who were there, it's probably much worse. You already struggle to comprehend the direness and what is going on, but for those in the midst of it? Your mind initially refuses to consider the hypothesis of it being the worst possible situation, it scars you for life. As a human being, hearing the reports from a distance is already heartbreaking. I cannot imagine how those affected have tried to cope with the loss and confusion back then and today... Bless those who lost their lives in such an inhumane, cruel way and those who fought to their very last breath to either counter the culprits or save those in need of rescue in whatever means they could. This should never have happened. We should never forget them and their efforts. Humanity should always strive to be united in the common good. Bless everyone affected. Bless you, America and any country or people affected.

@@juliehayden5594 He's not wrong. Bodies that were recovered were taken to medical stations so they could be identified.

I gave birth many years later at a hospital in Manhattan. I was told to walk around the hospital until I was dilated enough to be admitted. I ended up in the basement, and the walls were covered with pictures from 9/11. They showed doctors and nurses lined up outside the ER, operating rooms fully set up to perform emergency surgeries, supplies piled up, etc. None of it was needed. 😪

Thank you for posting this....so sad. The FDNY Commissioner looked like he was about to break down.....poor baby....such a sad day!

[@dylanb.117]

He's not a baby he's a grown woman

The reporter mentions “It’s hard to imagine how it could have been worse” - with hindsight, it’s practically a miracle that only 2,750 people in New York City died incl first responders. After years they figured out that 17,400 people were physically in the buildings when the planes crashed into them, and of those 15,400 were able to get out.

Had they attacked 2 hours later, and flown steep trajectories into the 40-50 floor range, the casualties figure would have been 10-20x

[@trentc6069]

Wow I did not realize this

[@johnp139]

EXACTLY!!!

[@convictaussie3088]

I don't want to sound insensitive but I'm still shocked to this day that only 2753 died. It seems to me the first responders saved heaps of lives. God bless them.

[@kashoot4782]

I think there are a further 1000+ victims whose remains have been uncovered but have not been matched yet. Still I agree, very impressed with the response of the emergency services, I could have easily seen the death toll climb into the tens of thousands

[@convictaussie3088]

@@kashoot4782 I think they would have been pronounced dead by now.

[@Forestgray007]

Eh honestly it's a guess. They will never truly know the real number.

[@tomanhmanh1642]

When all doctors, rescuers... ready to help but no one survived 😭😭

[@starlenestilltouringyoutub2116]

There is actually a group of survivors known as the survivors in the Miracle of Stairway B. Edit: edited for better context.

[@ashleyunderwood4855]

Yeah a lot of the search dogs thought they were doing something wrong not even bodies left to find it just can’t get any worse then that. 💔😭

[@Pidgeonz]

I was only in 2nd grade at the time of the attacks..Being almost 30 now, i realize how crazy and fragile life is and can be. RIP EVERYONE.

[@Littlescienceguy]

Commissioner Von Essen got to me the most. Poor guy looks and sounds so sad. He barely could get the words out about who had perished. Bless him.

[@jamieeubanks539]

That got me too. He looks utterly dazed, and hearing him talk about the people he respected so much had me choking up. I can't imagine what he must've been feeling...devastated, of course, but I can't grasp the scale.
