I remember my mom worked 5 blocks away from the towers. She was going through divorce with my dad. My dad was already living outside my home. I was at my school and my dad went pass school officials and told me to get my shit we are leaving. My teacher looked at him in shock. Picked my bookbag and started running with my dad to his car. Then he was speeding towards my cousin's school. Mind you my pops didn't know English. We get to my cousins school. Luckily when we get there we see my cousins in a line ready to enter his school. Big cousin recognized us and we started running to my dad's car. My dad drives us both to my aunt's house. He drops us off at my auntie's house. When we get to my aunt's house. I'll never forget at the door what my dad told my aunt. Even though he was going through divorce. He told my aunt that he needed to get my mom even though he had to run through the Brooklyn bridge. 4 to 5 hours later. He pulls up and drops my mom off safely. Me and my dad don't have the best relationship. But that day I learned the importance of fathers protecting their families.

I was working on the 71st floor that day. Just like that man said, we were told to stay put so we wouldn’t get on the way of the firefighters. I remember I got up, and grabbed my stuff and said im leaving and my supervisor immediately yelled out at my name and said “you’re not going anywhere. You’re staying like the rest of us.” And then proceeded to tell everyone at the office anyone who walked out that door would face serious consequences. I looked at her and said “So fire me, I’m leaving regardless. Something is not right.” And left… I made it out just in time. My coworkers were messaging me to come back that the supervisor kept saying she would make sure I wouldn’t come back. I told my coworkers this is a terroristic attack and begged them to get out. 2 of my friends listened to me and were on their way to leave. But it was too late for them… no one from the office made it.. No one. This memories and to know I was the only one who made it still haunts me to this day..

But there were very legitimate reports of unusual amounts of money being moved around right before the attacks, especially in the flight industry. If that’s a crazy conspiracy then I guess the governments of Germany and other major nations are just crazy conspiracy nuts because that’s who led the investigations. This suggests that the secret plan wasn’t exclusive to only the thirteen or so high jackers. Also, there were plans to high jack more than just the three planes that were successfully high jacked that day so there are still people out here who went to airports that morning with the intention of high jacking a plane but were unsuccessful for whatever reason.

@@jesusgonzalez-acton8045 He's likely referring to Marsh McLennan, and it isn't true that "every last employee of Marsh McLennan died that day". Marsh McLennan suffered a horrible loss on 9/11 --- about 300 of their employees in the Manhattan office tragically perished that morning, as they were on high floors of the WTC and had no way to escape. But many of the employees hadn't arrived yet, and many others were out of the office at meetings and appointments; those weren't killed. Neither were the tens of thousands of Marsh McLennan employees who worked in other offices in other cities. Marsh McLennan is still a viable, functioning company, but it was difficult for them to adjust to losing 300 members of their 85,000-person workforce in a single morning.

In an interview the motorman that drove the train was an employee that never took sick or a day off for 19 years, and he also called sick that day. So being late saved them. It was very powerful to hear their testimony. One woman said she missed that train bc she had to stop and buy pantyhose, another missed that same train bc they stopped to get coffee, etc.

I live in the UK and can remember coming home from work, turning on the TV , oblivious to what was happening, and questioning what they were playing on TV, thinking it was some kind of film, then realizing it was happening at that moment to all those thousands of people. It is a shock you can never quite put into words or your brain fully process or understand...and intensely overwhelming feeling of sorrow for all those experiencing it and thinking they were about to die.

[@Tamesis66]

That's incredible. I've been hit by a car TWICE...and survived both times. But it happened SO fast I didn't even have time to think and my life didn't flash before my eyes. It's like one moment I'm walking trying to reach the other side of the street them boom, I'm on the pavement. The first time I tried to break the fall with my hands but instead my JAW hit the pavement so now I have permanent TMJ, the 2nd time I fractured my collarbone & got a giant gash in my head that took 6 staples to close. The 2nd time was actually more of the close call because the paramedics said the hat I was wearing actually saved my life. It was FREEZING that night, I just left work, crossing the street to catch the bus home, it was dark, a lady pulled out of the parking lot to the left of where I was and claimed she didn't see me (it's what the report said). I was wearing one of those thick full head hats, the kind with the built-in lower face protection. My friends used to make fun of it saying I looked like a burglar, calling it my "stalking" hat. They weren't laughing after the accident. Even with that little extra padding my head was bleeding so yes, it for sure saved my life! I don't even question WHY I lived through both of these life-threatening accidents, I am just grateful I survived without losing any limbs.

I've had multiple guns pointed at my head by insane meth dealers. Even more times by cops. I've drowned like 6 times and somehow pulled myself out at the last possible second. Jumped off a bridge, naked, into a raging river at midnight during a lightning storm. I've overdosed. I've had a literal 1800's rusty scythe fall right to my neck and it hit the edge of a car door at the last second. That's not even half the times I've almost died. Lost the love of my life at 26 and tried to actively die for 4 years, but told myself if I made it to 30, that was it. I had to get healthy. So I tried even harder. Destroyed my body and all my clothes from burning holes into them and my legs from friction on concrete, bombing hills in pitch black darkness. I have no idea how I still exist. Made it to 30. Now I'm healthy. Changed everything in my life to positivity and love. I'm in it for the long-haul. I have yet to experience what he's talking about, curling into a ball. I've always had a smile on my face. I don't get it. Maybe 300 hits of LSD, mushrooms, and DMT destroyed my flight response. God or the Devil or someone must be looking after me. It doesn't make sense. I don't knock on wood. I burn it and nothing ever happens. I break bones, but pain doesn't exist when you're in it 24/7, every single day. It's nothing. Glad you're still with us, dude. I'm truly jealous. I wish I could remember what fear feels like.

[@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight]

...this also applies to what happened the past 2 years. Many of those who listened to authorities and billionaires who profited from a certain "treatment" are today either dead or struggling with myocarditis, blood cloths, cancer, heart attacks etc. I am the only one in my family who didn't take it because I listened to my intuition, while the rest of my family all have health problems now that they didn't have before they took the so-called treatment that science now has shown to not be as affective as natural immunity, and other studies have shown that it increases the risk of all the conditions I mentioned earlier. Statistics backs this up too. I have always been the most intuitive, and at times even psychic (dreaming of things before they happen etc), in my family, and have been ridiculed for it many times. And now I am the healthiest in our family, while some of them have had to admit that it was a bit telling that their blood cloths happened 1-2 weeks after their 2nd jab... I am extremely grateful for my strong intuition!

[@V.E.R.O.]

Yeah, I remember a man's story, I don't recall his name. He was in the South Tower and when the North Tower was hit his first instinct was to get out of the building and made it to the lobby but his co-workers and the announcements convinced him to go back up to his office. He was in his office when he saw the second plane headed towards his building. Part of the plane impacted his floor and didn't kill him but he was trapped, he started screaming for help and another man who was going down the stairs heard him and got him out and they both got out of the building seconds before it collapsed.

They can't. It's highly likely that he had lost situational awareness and didn't realize he was lower than he thought he was. Almost no one survives a fall from even 80 feet (very few documented cases). 260 feet would not be survivable. That doesn't mean he's lying. It means he was on a lower floor than he thought he was and wasn't aware of it.

I’ve worked many security jobs at different hotels, areas, and industries. You don’t know how many times they tell us in the case of an evacuation: to let EVERYONE leave and never hold anyone back from their choice if they feel they have to leave because of this incident. So many people were listening to their gut instinct, and we’re reassured. So many lives could’ve been saved.

[@alisonjmiller5339]

Don't forget this was a 110 storey building with only narrow stairwells, and they never believed it would collapse, so giving firemen first priority especially if incident is on much higher floor would seem the prudent course of action, most workers in floors below impact sites did manage to evacuate in time, many when firemen reached their floors and told them to get out of building, but equally many chose to ignore the "the building is safe, go back to your desks"message that was played repeatedly over towers PA systems.

This gave me chills. I was working in Secaucus, NJ, in a big glass building right across the river when this happened. While driving to work, I saw the buildings on fire. A friend of mine worked in one of the towers. Thankfully, he got to work late that day and had just entered the lobby when the plane hit and immediately ran out. Unfortunately, he had to witness people jumping and had a hard time getting any transportation out of the city. I worked on the 10th floor in Secaucus and we had huge windows. I can remember looking out of our conference room window and witnessing the buildings collapse IRL and in real time and my heart sank. I've never felt so helpless and so sad. It will be forever ingrained in my memory.

Yeah, but its not like he had any idea what was going on. He thought it was a fire on one floor at first. He should have left after, but like he said they didn't want to block fire fighters, were told to stay by security, and everything seemed calm around them on their floor. A good lesson from this is that even if it seems okay for the moment get out at the earliest possibility because that calm may not last. But there is no rationality that he really lacked, instead he just didn't know how severe it was until they saw the problems start to show up, and then they tried to leave.

I look at this one hotel in downtown Nashville now, as I've moved here, and it used to seem so tall. The Renaissance Hotel. We stayed on the top floor in maybe like 01/02?...and dad was terrified and looking out the window the whole time. But what's crazy is that hotel looks tiny now compared to all the other high-rises, and even in NYC it's getting to be that way. I still like to stay in tall hotels sometimes because it just fascinates me, but I do always remember my dad and how protective he was, and I will always keep in mind what happened on 9/11, and why we must be able to evacuate as quick as possible.

I hear stories like this and I’m transported back to that day watching it all unfold on tv. It was my husband’s birthday and my only child was 6 days away from her 1st birthday. I remember holding her and thinking what kind of world did I bring you into. I chose not to have any more children. I believe when it’s our time to go it’s our time but none of those people deserved to die like that. It’s still heartbreaking almost 23 years later.

I remember that day vividly I was in Elementary School at the time. I remember a Teacher who had a free period at the time came in and told us what happened. Then our parents or guardians picked us up an hour or two later. To actually hear from someone who was at the World Trade when it happened and experienced it first hand is wild.

It's crazy the amount of bravery it needs to take for him to talk about this. After all the trauma he must have gone through, he still comes on and talks about it. I could never do what he did.

[@marciamartins1992]

Yes you could. My sister was having her wedding that weekend in NY. I lived in CA just the trauma of not being able to just get on a flight and fly home was enough for me to over come my fear of flying and seeing my family again. I'll be scared later, right now I got to do what I got to do.

I'm in Australia. I remember where I was because I had quit my job 2 days earlier so I was home. I woke up at 5.00am our time (1.00pm your time) and turned on TV to watch news like usual. I see in New York saying a plane has crashed into Twin Towers. I remember seeing footage and thinking "Why are they showing a movie on the news???" That was my first thought! Then after listening I learn no, it's a terrorist attack! Holy sh*t!! I stayed glued to the TV all day watching report after report. I could not stop watching. I was 31 years old at the time. My God! I watched the second plane hit! I saw people leaning out for air...people jumping out of windows!! I was so scared for America!! Today I am 52 and have a 14 year old son. He asked me where I was that day. I've told him like I said here. He knows it was a big event. He was born in 2008. I will NEVER forget 9/11.

[@badcornflakes6374]

Thank the Australians for helping us Americans fight against terrorism.

[@RockStar_Love]

I will never forget this day. I was a freshman in high school and my Biology teacher was crying. Mind you this was first period, she told us what was happening and she put the TV on and cried quietly to herself with her head down at her desk. We were watching when the towers collapsed. It was sooooo quiet except for the audible gasp when they went down. A little while later we were told to go home.

[@marciamartins1992]

I hope the school offered some sort of psychological or counseling support. I was in college and older but nope I didn't get that.

I remember when the cruise ship Costa Concordia sunk, there was a female crew member telling passengers to go back to their cabins because everything was fine. If those passengers had listened to her many would have drowned in their cabins. Sometimes you have to think for yourself.

Surreal morning.. I would never wake up and turn on the TV but that morning the moment the 1st plane hit I woke up and something told me to turn on the TV... and soon after.. sure enough.. breaking news.

I live in Vancouver Canada also; what was horrific to me was that later I got on a bus to go to a bar to watch live coverage on a large screen. At the time 7 women got on the bus laughing and shreiking; I just looked at them in shock; how could anyone find anything funny on this tragic day........

[@yellowroses8736]

I was in high school at the time in North Carolina. My teacher stopped mid class and put the T.V. on so that we could see what was happening. When we found out about the plane hitting the pentagon, I panicked a bit since my dad worked in D.C. not far from the Pentagon. I tried calling my dad, but the phones were not working. I was terrified that my dad was gone. The school councilor let me go home early from school that day, and I sat glued to the T. V. watching footage while trying to call my dad over and over again. Eventually my mom came home early too... She was also in a tizzy trying to reach my dad. Turns out his building was evacuated, but everything was ok. The kid that I was at the time was terrified, and we teenagers would often sit around at lunch and discuss wars and terreorists and things we didn't know much about. It scared all of us very much.

My uncle worked in WT #4....we kept calling him but never got an answer. We were worried sick that he was killed, even though his building was not hit, it was destroyed when the North Tower fell on it. I do mean it was almost unrecognizable. I have ssen the pictures of it. We finally got a call from his son and he had retired 1 month earlier. No one in the family knew this. We were so very happy to hear this!!! I actually visited the WTC in 1978. I still cannot believe these two buildings are gone. They were massive! RIP to all lives lost that day...
