It's REALLY obvious how much she cared about David & Lynn and her emotional recall REALLY got me. 😔🤧

[@miltonwaltercompanyllc9605]

22 years! It STILL feels like it happened 22 minutes ago.

[@dominysynclair]

It really does, and now Lahaina.

[@robindew9072]

She's such a beautiful woman. She sounds so caring and thoughtful. After all these years it's still so emotional

[@stonefree1911]

She has the most soothing voice. What a lovely woman.

[@A-hurt-one]

I hope you loved her in a Disney film called "James and the Giant Peach"!

[@martinconnors6200]

She's from my part of the World. From Essex (Ilford) in the UK. I'm also from Essex (Basildon)

[@Joekond89]

I love Jane Leeves. British national treasure 🇬🇧

[@rodneycampbell2964]

I was never a early morning TV watcher, but every day now I watch the early morning news. My daughter rang me that morning and she said Dad put your TV on, I said what channel she said it doesn’t matter

[@baggergurl16]

I love Jane Leeves ever since Fraiser and Hot in Cleveland

[@truelily7]

I truly do believe laughter is the best medicine. Frasier is one of the great sitcoms I watch to help me through widowhood experience. My husband died on 9/11/2021. The morning of the disasterous 9/11 we were here at home together. Little did we know that that would be the date he would pass from this earth years later.

[@muddydog6605]

Such a down to earth beautiful woman. Comedy is so important, it has seen me through the darkest times in my life. Frasier being one of them.

[@tomgcooktown5019]

Everything in my life was before 9/11 & after 9/11 .. My Father had died fprty days before & I told him at the cemetery that the whole world had just changed .. Jane Leeves reminded me of the profound quiet of that day .. My wife & I were up preparing to go out to eat at a place we often frequented .. After we watched the news a while we went on to eat .. The restaurant was so very subdued & quiet .. It was eerie & people were not talking yet of what we'd all seen .. But everybody seemed nicer than usual .. So very quiet .. For a few moments .. Days .. The United States seemed united .. It did not last at all .. But we experienced it together for a short while .. TgT

[@Justicia007]

That comment about how quiet the grocery store was also struck me. I went to church with my family that night and the church was full. It was so quiet in there. There was definitely a feeling of us all coming together, but people were in shock and grieving.

[@tootoo3172]

I remember traffic just disappeared. Everyone went home from work if they could and it was just really eerie for a few days following the 11th.

[@jasonmacneil2256]

Class act woman this one! God bless her and her family.

[@ahendrikse7053]

Such a beautiful soul… so heartbreaking to hear your executive producer and his wife were in plane that hit one of the towers. 😢😢

[@blinderII]

She's so eloquent.

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

So quintessentially English. Love it.

[@wirelesscustomer9973]

I really can't decide who my favorite Frasier character was. Such a great team. 😊

[@jaddison1112]

I had never heard this story before. Just another tragedy connected with September, 11, 2001. But life does have to carry on. Jane Leeves' words were comforting.

[@giselestrauch5146]

RIP to those lost that day and for staff lost from this show

[@Crazycoyote-we7ey]

What made it real for me was the two weeks after when the planes were all grounded The AmTrak trains were all full of people The Bus's were all packed There were Police Patrols along the railways just in case

[@susanyoung6632]

I remember making eye contact with complete strangers - something I would never do. I was searching for an explanation I think.

[@Chris2745100]

"Everybody was quite and being polite to one another at the grocery store." 19 years later the complete opposite when Covid hit. 9/11 was truly the last time this country came together.

[@indigowolf556]

Exactly! People got mean, cruel and heartless. Sad 🥺

Yup

[@Harpoquondrax]

I was in high school at the time, afterwards I worked at a grocery store. I had that same experience of just absolute silence. You could hear a pin drop.

[@marysketch4772]

Very moving. Wow also the extra fact of hearing of someone you knew well being involved.

[@ZuGineeris]

I didn't know one the creators of Frasier was on that plane. Tragic and heartbreaking

[@2004cyrus]

One of the episodes had a title card saying that the episode was dedicated to them

[@robertwalegir8677]

I happen to be in the air that day from Florida back to California. We got forced down at Stapleton international Airport in Denver somewhat still in disbelief to this day.

[@isabel911craig]

It was my 1st birthday that day so I didnt know what was happening, so I appreciate hearing others experiences and what It was like

[@aprilgosa5779]

I think I would need to go to work and be with my friends being home alone would just drive me nuts

[@williambaker2779]

You know about that day after my shift and the School District I worked at Custodian/Van Driver I first heard the first plane hit the first tower and then after I heard ithe 2nd one hit the second one my first reaction was I wanted to join the Navy to be a Navy Seal but I had to think that I at that time I was 39 and too old miliary service that night on the tonight show Jay Leno said in his Monologue that our job as entertainers is we like giving a Lemonade and Cookie after a bad day he said that with tears in his and a broken Heart it has stuck with Me to this day you all make us laugh and still do we watch Fraiser in re runs on Paramount Channel daily.

[@mikeerickson967]

i can relate to her trip to the supermarket. i remember going out to eat at a buffet later that day just to get away from the t.v. for a while. it was so quiet i couldnt believe it. usually in a restraunt people are talking dishes are clanging, you could here a pin drop. i think everyone was just in complete shock and didnt know how to act or what to say. it was sooo stange.

[@A-hurt-one]

My mother was in a Walmart to buy car parts, but she falsely accused the whole store for lazing about when in reality they were watching the news.

[@TJ-kk5zf]

[@tiffprendergast]

Yes he was the producer

[@kathleentyson6727]

I was 13 when JFK was assassinated,for three days there was nothing but news updates about his assasination ,just when we thought it was over ,Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered on live t.v;. I remember exactly what I was doing on 9/11 ,I wax getting ready to go to work at a private college ,my daughter called and said a second plane had crashed into the work trade towers ,i had to get to work ,when I got there no one was working ,they were all glued to the television,one of our counselors had a son who worked on Wall Street ,she hadn’t been able to reach him ,finally around 11:00 A.M Eastern Standard time she got a hold of him. I’m reminded of a speech FDR made after the attack on Pearl Harbor ,” This day will remain a day in infamy “ or words to that affect ,I think it’s applicable for 9/1! as well.

[@tiffprendergast]

Yup glad he was ok

Who will ever forget this horrid day in history. Still can't believe David Angell and his wife were killed that day. :(

[@johnlegend3218]

She's from here (UK) too. Theres an episode of Frazier where a woman leaves a voicemail saying " flight 11, 10:30", David Angell was onboarc the flight 11 which struck the North tower and it came down at 10:28, WEIRD!

I found out the horrible realization a few months later with undeniable proof that some conspiracies aren't just theories.

[@humblehombre9904]

I remember feeling so relieved to watch both Fraser and Friends. These shows seemed to help us heal for an hour. The connection to Friends, based in New York, was very special. Those days were so very dark, and yet we all felt closer to each other as people. It sad to see that squandered by the political games the left has done. The riots, BLM, feminism gone mad…terrorism hit our homeland and has taken up residence. I miss the closeness we shared after 9-11.

[@JennyJeong425]

Blaming the left or the right for all the nation's ills is exactly what has caused so much ugliness. Feminism? Really? How tacky to bring your political views onto this page, which should he about Americans supporting another Americans.

Why?

[@bwcarter921]

I think on top of this pandemic, remembering 9/11, which despite the phrase "never forget," people do because they want to, it's all to much for some people.

[@junior.von.claire]

Marty? WHY?

[@you_can_call_me_T]

May I ask how old you are? Only asking because typically it's people who were very young or not yet born at that time who don't still feel the gravity of 9/11. Nothing against the younger people at all. When my parents talked about where they were when JFK was shot, I didn't connect with it like they did.

[@jonimulligan9963]

Never forget.
