I have seen probably hundreds of hours of videos of this day and it's the first documentary that I've seen in a long time where a lot of these videos that people shot I've never seen before especially the video of the woman running into the restaurant and telling the owner thank you thank you thank you for saving my life!

@@karenwells5957 I always rewatch them to this day. I had a 6 month year old disabled baby on a heart monitor. My friends called me “3 way” that morning and said Look out your window, you won’t Believe what happened. This was before the second tower was hit. My friends heard me scream when the second tower was hit and when the tower went down. I had to hang up and ran out of my building with my disabled child. If you were close to the towers, you didn’t want to be in a building after the second plane hit. You knew it was intentional. A terrorist attack. I was in SHOCK for weeks after. You just went with the flow day by day, watching tv to see if you hear news of those you know. I couldn’t get in touch with my son’s dad the entire day. No ones cell phones worked. The cell tower was on the one tower and the lines were so overwhelmed that no one could use their cells for a period of time.

I'm a South African. The day this happened, I was on my way out to grab a few items to prepare dinner. I don't know why, but something made me turn on the TV to see the news just before I was leaving, and the news of the first tower being hit was being broadcast. I called my Mom, bawling, and thought that it was an airline pilot error. I recall watching the second plane hit, in absolute disbelief, and then sat and watched in horror when both towers collapsed. I recall with guilt that I had a feeling the building would collapse, and even though I had no knowledge of architecture, this collapse seemed strangely inevitable to be. I grieved for weeks after, became obsessed even, with this loss of life, and the horror of the jumpers and how they must have felt in their final moments. I am still deeply haunted by this day, and as a non-citizen, never had the opportunity to process loss, sadness, guilt, but only to carry the pain in my heart. The world truly changed this day.

[@yolandecolquhoun2070]

Yes indeed. I was there. I’m not from New York I’m from Washington state and I was 17 years old. I was alone there and was supposed to fly home three days after 9/11. I still have many papers. I was 13 blocks away watching the first tower burn as the second plane hit and that night I walked around until 4 in the morning. I picked up random papers for some reason. They ranged from things with numbers that made no sense to hand written notes with smiley faces drawn on them. Idk why I kept them. 6 years after 9/11 I saw a man on a National Geographic documentary and he was talking about being in the lobby of tower one. I looked through the papers I had brought home after and it was a man named Stanley and I had some of his office papers which happened to include a photo of his family and him at a baseball game. It was a Manila folder I picked up rubber banded together and all of it was his. I was able to meet him two years later and return his papers and he cried and thanked me.

[@Mia1R]

Declaration of love to New York I'm not American but I remember me and my fam watching the news from the first pictures of the smoking north tower in absolute shock and disbelief, it seemed like bad movie to us. Like most of the people we thought it must've been a terrible accident, at first. Then, we saw the second plane crashing into the south tower and everyone knew that we just witnessed an attack. So we were glued to the TV from around 3 pm local time to the early morning of 9/12. We knew no one personally in NY but we all sat there and were crying, for the losses of lives, for all the people in the city I always loved the most and who couldn't process what just had happened. I was very young back then so at that time I've never been to NY but in my room there was a large picture of Manhattan at night, focusing the Twin Towers. When I went to bed and looked at it all I could think of was that now I'm never gonna see them, never will be able to go up on the roof to look down on the city. Next morning I felt so ashamed of being that selfish. I took the picture down, I just couldn't stand to see it anymore because of my narcissistic moment. People died in there and all I could think of was my anger the towers were gone - how much does this suck?!? Many years later I finally traveled the first but not last time to NYC. Ground Zero still was Ground Zero, they were just beginning to build the One World tower behind wooden fences. But I only began to realize what's missing when I went up to the ESB, and later on the Top of the Rock. It left me in tears. A lady saw me crying and came to ask if she could be of any help and I could tell by her accent that she was from the area. When I told her I was alright but just had to remember that terrible day the towers went down and how Manhattan was looking so different without them and that I felt so sorry for everyone who had lost a beloved person back then she said nothing but took me in her arms. A complete stranger comforted me. And I'm not sure if I deserved it. I visited NY several times now and each time I only had the best experiences with the people who live there. They're kind, they're helpful. Despite what happened. Despite the terror. LOVE WINS. ALWAYS. And I ❤️ NY.

Please don't be so hard on yourself for your first thought being the loss of the buildings. That was mine too, it was too overwhelming and incomprehensible to think about all the lives involved. I was also young and I was in class when the first plane hit (same time zone as NY), my next teacher already had the TV news turned on when we came in and I had a wild thought that the buildings must have been evacuated early and were mercifully empty... no way were people up there, it didn't even cross my mind! Where were you watching from? I was (am) in Toronto, Canada. And I'm jealous you've travelled to New York 😊 it's a dream of mine to go to Ground Zero and I will.

I just went to NYC a few weeks ago and saw the golden sphere and the survivor tree that they saved. In Summer 2001 I saw that sphere when I went into the lobby of one of the towers. NYC trips in 1997 and 1998 made me love the city and I was on top of Empire State Building looking at the World Trade Center thinking "I want to go up there!" I never got to go up to the top, but for some reason I always loved the twin towers because I would see them in movies and they just stood out at the tip of Manhattan. I've been to NYC a few times since I was staying in SoHo for a night, after I checked-out I walked down there. Seeing all those names made me stop and think "What if I saw some of these people in the lobby the day I was there?" Then I started looking around and thinking some of the people standing by certain names might be relatives. While thinking how sad it was while also seeing a city continue and dedicate the entire area to them which was beautiful. I just felt a lot of emotions standing there and I know if I knew anyone personally from that day I would have broke down crying since I already had watery eyes just thinking about it. What I remember from 9/11 was being at school and hearing someone say "Did you hear the Twin Towers got hit? it's like something from Die Hard." Then saw some classrooms watching it on the TV while my English teacher refused to show us. At the time I was mad because I wanted to know what was happening. They didn't dismiss us early, and Otis Air Base my school was near responded to the attacks. No planes in the sky. The bus brought me home and I saw my Mom in the living room and as I was walking in I was asking about the World Trade Center and she said "They're gone" I said "What?" and I turned into the living room to see an empty skyline and smoke on the TV. I just walked into my room down the hall. I was just in shock like everything in the World just changed because there were no answers yet and it was obvious something bigger was going on since also hearing about the Pentagon and United 93 shortly after. I listened to music and smoked since I started getting into it around that time and while listening to Notorious B.I.G. I heard him say something about "blow up like the World Trade Center". I rewinded it because I already couldn't believe what was happening that day but to also hear B.I.G. talking about it while high made me feel like I was hearing things. I even asked my parents about other attacks and they reminded me about the early 90's bombing. They also said we were driving past NYC on our trip down to FL while listening to it on the radio. I do remember seeing NYC skyline in the distance but not going into the city until 1997.

[@Hanniballi_Anni]

I was 9 years old at the time, 5 days before my 10th birthday. I live in Germany and had never had anything to do with America before. But this event haunts me to this day. Even at the age of 9, I felt the terror and fear that the people in the towers must have felt. I keep watching documentaries or reports about that day, which will never completely leave me. May all souls rest in peace.

[@nillyk5671]

Please don't forget that America is a continent. It's not a country. For the rest of us who were also born in the American continent, it feels so disrespectful. Why would you call a single country a name that belongs to all of us Americans from the American continent with our ancestors having been in this continent for thousands of years? The country you mean is the United States. That's it. America is a continent.

I know the years have passed by so fast but seeing those apocalyptic scenes takes you right back like it just happened 💔

[@johncharles2524]

I worked In tower 2 86 th floor. Over 20 years later Watching this I’m starting to cry again . GOD please forgive us . Let me share this with the world , that you’ll never get the chance to experience . From the 86 th floor You couldn’t see people on the street . Cars looked like little tiny ants . Little prop planes that used to fly up the Hudson River looked like little flys . The Statue of Liberty looked 4 inches tall . To go up to the top floors you had to stop get off that elevator And go to another one to go higher . We used to have sway alerts on windy days , you couldn’t really tell , but you could only use the inside elevators on sway alert When ever I left tower 2 For lunch there was always A line of tourists waiting to go To the top . The Red Hot Chili Peppers played on the top floor one day . Once arriving by train in the mornings it was 2 elevators to get to ground level . There was a mall underneath, I do remember the store Warner brothers , with first editions signed by the original artist . There was a police station there also . I think the first attack 199? was at the Bar - restaurant called the scuttle butt , I could be wrong about that one , about 9 days after 9/11. I was on this so called party ship that we held ever year with a band and a-lot of my friends and people . When we came down the Hudson River and was in front of the site , the site of this Nightmare , that’s was it , The short party ended , the band stoped , and no one spoke a word , that’s one thing I remember until I die , not one noise not one word spoken again until we got off the boat . It was still burning and smoking 9 days after that horrible day The smell of burnt Everything Stoped us in our tracks and reality set in . Not one person spoke . The worst of it. , which still freaks me out is the people jumping , I’ll stop there , That’s enough . So our military went and hunted down these animals that Planed this , you talk about unity , I’ve never seen my county , the United States of United as one as brother and sisters of America as I have Since the 10 days after 9/ 11 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

To see the opposite of what humans are capable of is very heart warming and reassuring. There is more kindness in this world than cruelty and evil. Those who are responsible for cruelty killing and evil are not needed in this world.

This was a really touching documentary. The part that stood out to me was that ironworker guy and that lady who were arguing then were comforting each other. That was beautiful to see. And it’s also bittersweet because I feel like we are too far gone now to be able to unite like that again if something like 9/11 were to happen today. Everyone seems too divided now.

[@tinadaugherty9073]

Still watching this September 3, 2024. I've read about many wars in high school & colleges, now at my 60th birthday, but can't imagine this. I"ve studied many US criminals, I"ve seen 2 US Presidents in close near associations & 1 US President I did not know of November 22, 1963- John F. Kennedy, but never felt the pain, disgrace, maddness, anger & frustration of 9/ 11/ 2001 until I seen this on TV News channels. There are not enough words to express massive losses. Unforgettable!

[@espencarlsen]

Wow,. . .best documentary . I will never forget. I was having lunch while watching CNN when this happened. And I live in Norway but still. . . and I could not believe this was a real attack,..or "real" pictures for that matter ,...but then the reporter started talking - just speechless . Im reminded every time I watch something on TV related to NYC.

[@jamie-r2034]

I was a 19 year old kid who saw the world change after 9/11. It wasn't perfect but this day it didn't matter who you were, political beliefs, color, etc - people were just helping people and were there for each other. It was a beautiful thing with such a horrific event.

[@marthamartha3222]

I remember this day 😢like it was yesterday 😢 I really thought we we're having a war and thinking we're to hide if they attack L.A . After all the planes we're down and realizing it was a terrorist attack on our land 😭 I just couldn't stop crying for all those innocent people on the planes and on land that were killed it really hit me so hard 😢😭 it still does. Rest in peace innocent 🙏 people 🙏❤️.

Both of these folks so obviously have never dealt with real pain or any trauma up to this point; their immaturity in handling their emotions is obvious, at least to me. You get better at it over time but to me it was pretty cringe.

Our country was so united and one after 9/11… It’s amazing how a society can become so disjointed in only a generation, it’s heartbreaking 💔

[@missluna5]

Britain was like that during the Second World War. What a shame it takes such adversity to make us realise we all need to care for each other and work together.

[@emmam-rr8qe]

Trump and his MAGA crew have absolutely destroyed the USA by driving deep divisions and sewing seeds of hatred towards Democrats and progressives or those with more enlightened views. It is sad...people think he is making America great, in reality he is exposing it as weaker than its ever been viewed before. 😢

[@Wrestling316]

It shouldn’t take a devastating tragedy to unite a country, especially one such as the United States.

I was 6 years old the day that happened. i still remember watching it on the news and how much it impacted me. I still have a small book i drew pictures in with crayons of the buildings on fire and people jumping out. As a kid, you dont know how to process seeing things like that on the news constantly, so i drew.

[@bunnykinssmile]

We have all seen what happened that day. But I think it’s so interesting that the days following have been documented. Because it really shows the love in humanity and also how everyday people deal with such tragedy as a city and country. It’s beautiful to see how united New Yorkers where in sharing there pain, voicing there opinions but also showing so much love a compassion, in that we can have diff opinions but value each other in there arguments. I’m from uk was a teen when this happened so no direct connection yet hasn’t left my thoughts since that day I came home from school an found out what happened. Even remember going to school the next day seeing news papers covered in articles about it in the local shop. still so unbelievable this happened so hard to understand or make any sense of an has fascinated me ever since tbh in following documentries right into my late 30s now. So unbelievable that this could even happen. Doesn’t seem real

[@willfade7994]

This is one of the best documentaries I’ve seen on 9/11… I like how it focuses on the aftermath and the impact it had on so many people. It’s been nearly 23 years now and it seems to hit me harder every year. We have all seen the videos of the planes hitting the towers and the collapse of both towers. I think we get so caught up in the carnage that we often forget that we are literally watching thousands of people die… There were people in the towers still on the phone with emergency services operators when the tower they were in collapsed. As far as I’m concerned, we were all in those buildings because it was an attack on all of us Americans. Now, many people who were at “Ground Zero” during the rescue efforts are suffering from “9/11 cancer”. The impact 9/11 has had on our country and people is insurmountable. As cliche as it sounds, I truly will never forget that day and I’m in California. Strangely enough, our sky that day matched the sky over New York. It was a very clear, blue sky. There wasn’t a cloud in sight. It was so eerie. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏻

I find it so strange that we all looked at the sky and thought what a beautiful day and the shade of blue the sky was. It was an individual thought at the moment but later we found out it was a common comment about it. Did the universe know what was going to happen? How do you explain this?

[@crystalmackie7558]

Yes I was 10 years old in Chicago , IL the sky was absolutely beautiful that day my mom was driving me to school and I remember staring up at the sky it was sunny and the sky was so blue I remember sitting in class and the teachers rushed in with the tvs to show us what was going on and then a lot of kids started getting early dismissals from school it was really scary that day

[@animula6908]

I’ve wondered too because in all the images of the wtc while they stood, the ones from that day before the planes hit stick out like a sore thumb to me. I’m from Texas and never visited there. I feel like of course God knew. He was with us the whole time and never stopped it because he already knew we are fallen creatures living in a fallen world.

[@johncamp7679]

I live in Georgia, I went to see the memorial and an artist had people paint on a small piece of canvas (5x5) maybe.. the color blue they remembered from that day. It was a large display. It was such a common comment about the sky.
