They could of went home to be with their families but they didn't. They risked their lives to help others & are still risking their lives b/c of the toxic air they inhaled!

PTSD is something you learn to live with. I don’t know how long it takes to learn, because I’m only 8 years into my diagnosis. A smell, a person, a memory or a dream can make you panic and dissociate. Sometimes you don’t even know why, but your scared, you can’t breathe and all you can do is either freeze or get to a safe place so that you can collapse. It helps tremendously to talk about your trauma. The only problem is that few people care to hear it over and over and over and over. If you know someone like this, listen and just tell them you’re going to be there for them. 😕

I remember when this happened thinking that there is no way anyone should be breathing the air in lower Manhattan. All those fluorescent lights, computers, insulation, etc turned into dust along with 100s of floors of concrete. If you just drop 1 fluorescent bulb in your house you're supposed to wear a mask, open the windows, vacuum, use adhesive tale to try to remove all the microscopic residue. Multiply that by thousands. I would still be wary of any environment that might have residual dust or digging under the surface soil in that area.

Just to go to work, take care of my family and that’s about it. That was almost 18 yrs ago. I’ve seen all of the documentaries. Every year around 9/11 I watch all of the documentaries again. I know the names of some of the people who were there or on the planes. I know their families names. During that horrific time we said we’d never forget. I hate to say this, but people did forget. After the cleanup, after it had all died down people forgot. I never forgot. Neither did my husband, my sister...how could you forget that? God bless you all. You ARE heroes. Don’t ever forget that.

For the first 35 years of my life I didn’t really think about first responders much. Through some challenges I faced in my own life, I ended up starting a Telehealth therapy practice with a couple of partners. That led me to start working with more and more first responders dealing with job-related issues. I’ve even been privileged enough to get help to a handful of people that were there on that fateful day and for the traumatic days/weeks that followed. It’s been the most rewarding experience of my life. This population is so grossly misunderstood and criminally underserved. It’s quite humbling to have your worldview changed at this point in my life, but I’m grateful to these unbelievable people. I plan on spending the rest of my life trying to do what I can to give back to such strong, inspirational people. I hope we, as a society, do better by these people-they deserve it.

I felt so helpless that day. After the second tower fell we closed shop to go and donate blood. I went to three hospitals (by foot since the subways weren't running any longer) but at that point they had all run out of forms and could not take anymore volunteers. In the evening we went to the Westside Highway to cheer on and applaud the first responders driving down in busses at the end of their shift. Some of them waved at us and blew kisses, others slumped down in their seats and started crying at the sight of us. the next day we donated socks and T-shirts and i called business partners like Phillip Morris to ask for donations like cigarettes etc. We went to the Westside Highway for the next month every evening cheering on the first responders, it was all we could do. Volunteering was next to impossible cause so many people wanted to help, there was just no spot to get (like handing out coffee or cleaning the first responders quarters), you had to know someone to get something. I went to the site for the next 5 years on 9/11 and every year less people came. Hard to believe it's been 21 years, it feels like yesterday. Bless these men and women!

I still remember exactly what I was doing that day. I took my daughter to the dr. Office. Her dr. Came in and said do you know what just happened? A plane just hit the trade cener in New York. It was an attack. We were so scared. I bet allot of people remember what they were doing that day.

I was in the 3rd grade. They didnt tell us what was going on i guess to protect us.I remember walking home from school and getting home and my mom and older sister were glued to the tv set crying at what had happened. Then i saw the tv and found out what had happened.

[@Pillshere31]

i dont remember much before 2002/2003 since i was born i '97. but i remember 9/11. i was in my parents bedroom playing with toy cars on their bed, my mom laying on the other side reading a book. suddenly my dad who had just come home from work busted into the room and said something along the lines of "america is burning!", he heard the story on the radio in his car on his way home. im german, so i didnt really understand what had happened but that day stuck with me regardless

Taking out a barn of tobacco. Hadn't heard a thing until we got to the warehouse with it. The warehouse men told of a plane hitting the World Trade Center. This farm girl knew nothing about them but quickly learned. I remember that it rained in NYC that night; as if the people who passed so suddenly were in Heaven and were weeping because they saw loved ones in tears.

I understand how you feel. On that day, I had arrived home, My husband was not yet awake. I had been asleep-He gets up & goes to turn on the t.v & he comes & tells me what's going on & turns on our t.v set. in our bedroom- I sat there & still not really awake- I was in shock. I got really scared & he & I held each other. It's hard to know what happend to all the people who were up in the impact zone & the stories we don't know. All the rescuers, 1st responders, & the flight crew & passengers of Flight 93 are our heroes!! They sacrificed their lives to protect us all. That sent a clear message around the world that we will not give up or give in to terrorists!. We fought back. God bless the victims, families, 1st responders, every single person who was involved with this incredibly sad day & for Flight 93 & the Pentagon. We will never forget. 😢♥️

[@CameronEly]

Listening to the stories of those first responders is something that I can’t even imagine. So sad.

[@TammyGrosso]

I heard many stories of people who still are suffering after 9/11. It never really hit me hard till I got cancer in my lungs, and now know how it feels for many of these wonderful Americans. Early today I mentioned in my FB comment, how we need to pray for, and thank, the people, and their families who are still being effected from 9/11, both physically, and emotionally. Not many others mentioned them. After watching this, I am posting this, in explanation for my comments today. I pray others see how important it is to acknowledge these wonderful Americans. You are always in our hearts!

[@lucygirlsruletheworld]

i was there for the same thing in the north tower. I hope that we will never forget this day but not get so attached to the day and my cousin worked in the south tower and died so when it comes to that time i have a roller coaster of emotions rushing through my body.

[@Oakiebobwlfd]

This story will never be completely finished.

[@marciajones2993]

So many heroes that day. Always help each other, not just when tragedies happen. Bless all these people. 💙❤️

[@P.Johanna]

It’s 9/2019, I remember that day and where I was. In all these years I’ve never heard it put in this way: the heroes are the ones who didn’t make it... I will never forget.

[@th3rd3arplan3tradio]

This still breaks my heart. I live in OKC & I remember the day before which is my b-day, it rained real hard later that evening. So hard that after it had an light orange-ish covered skies. I was in spanish class in middle school when it happened & we stopped to watch it. From class period to the next that's all we did.

[@MOR44455]

Israel lo hizo hace 20 años! Remember the USS Liberty!

[@NM-vh5im]

Those who prays, let's pray daily for all the victims of 9/11, for all the first responders who died aftermath and those who are ill and struggle. They sacrificed their lives, health for those in trouble. We have to always remember that sacrifice and pray for them. They do need it.

[@LunaGuinevereStudio]

3 more days before the 20th Anniversary. But it's 2 days from where I am. I will never forget. Rip to those who lost their lives.

[@zaramarland8402]

Your all absolutely amazing!!! These people are heroes, they should have free health care for the rest of there lifes!!! Like if you agree.

[@mauricefricke6236]

Crazy to think about how I was only 14 months old at the time and sleeping like a baby during this event. While people went through one of the most awful and surreal experiences one can have, I slept comfortably and without any worries. Pretty horrific.

[@zaramarland8402]

Such brave service people, just thankyou so very much!!!

[@mouseheadstudios]

I truly hope these people are still alive. So brave.

[@hardmuscl4life]

I don’t remember seeing this when it first aired. That is one of the saddest things I’ve seen in a long time. I found myself sobbing a couple of times while watching that. We all carry some sort of baggage with as we move through life... these people have a very heavy load.

[@ladytee7311]

Lord I pray for all the families who lost love ones and for those who survived. They should all have free health coverage 🙏🏿

[@anneross1021]

I was living in NYC on that day...like many others I went to Union Square in the proceeding days and weeks after. We talked, hugged strangers , cried, put up posters of those who were still missing in hopes they might be found. I remember a cop stopping me as I crossed the street ro go to Union Square..he must have recognised me from going down there quite a lot ..he said nothing he just put his arms round me and hugged me..a lady down there gave me a yahrzeit candle, we both held it and stood at the Square with tears in our eyes..I still have the remains of that candle to this day. NYC will be forever in my heart..that day will never leave me. God bless New York City and everyone who lived through that terrible day 🙏 You will be in my heart forever ♥

[@MOR44455]

Israel did it 20 years ago! Remember the USS Liberty!

[@frankcicero4444]

God bless them

[@heathermetz3974]

8:22 “the World Trade Center is still claiming lives!”

[@anonanon8507]

Heather Metz those words gives me chills!

[@joycer732]

So sad what they had to go thru then and still go thru now. God bless them. They ARE heros. The heros who survived.

[@nosilee2964]

I had just turned 5 a few days before this happened and I have no memory of it because I was taking a nap. I am 22 now, and have no memory of the world before 9/11. All I knew is that this happened and that it was really bad. I’m digging into it now, feeling the gravity of it. Finally fully grasping as an adult what this was and the impact it had. I want to meet these people and tell them I love them. I have put visiting the 9/11 memorial on my bucket list

[@yespls4184]

I was also 5... I remember looking up at planes in fear for a long time after that, especially if they were "near" buildings. My childhood best friend's mom was killed in the Pentagon on 9/11.

[@mariemari1395]

I feel for these people so much! was born and raised in Lower Manhattan and I skated by the pier after 9/11. And my breathing has never been the same.

[@niara6]

i would like to hear those full interviews of those responders

[@brandimatthews395]

It should be free health care for those who survived and first responders who was in all that smoke

[@danielg9679]

God bless my fellow Americans, RIP ...

[@FFEMTB08]

Visiting the 9/11 memorial odds without a doubt the most emotional and moving experience I’ve ever experienced.

[@Zypher0880]

R.I.P. To all of those who lost lives in the towers.
