[@2345allthebest]

Marvin passed in 2022 after a long battle with 9/11-related sickness... He was quoted as saying, “We weren’t thinking of ourselves. We were thinking of the public.” He exchanged letters with a local Girl Scouts troop after his medically necessary retirement and during his lengthy illness. Though recognized as a gentle warrior, he was a fierce advocate for federal first responder benefits, providing countless interviews with political correspondents who covered World Trade Center illnesses as they emerged and evolved.

[@shenton18]

A ruthless attack fr within. The fact that Americans still genuinely believes this was all a plan orchestrated solely by men living in huts 8K miles across the planet using a Boeing to cause such buildings to collapse the way they did is ludicrous. It's because of that very stupidity our leader may pull another card like this one. There's no way at the 3:35 minute mark after the building began to collapse the way it did, you guys really believe it was because of a plane. They even let yall know building two was gonna collapse before it did, and did you actually saw THE plane that hit the pentagon? Don't get mad and come at me with the name calling either, just show me that clear footage of that plane, and let me know what type of plane it was please and thank you 🫡

[@sensenmeier-d5h]

@@karatalley1987 Going back in time to warn them of the attacks on 9-11 (and too watch out for Icebergs on the Titanic)? Well, i would do it too, but that would not be easy. How to make them believe your warnings? If you call the Police or any Agency and tell them there will be 2 planes crashing into WTC & Pentagon in this and that time and later collapse, they bring you to a mental institution or worse, maybe to secret interigation, because how could you know this if you weren't a terrorist yourself? if you tell them of time travel, you can also end up some secret place and never be heard of again.

It's like reliving the same events and that very well may be the case, considering how many angles we have and still find.

I was a college freshman in 2002, a year after 9/11. I took a communication 101 class and one assignment was delivering a persuasive speech. One girl's speech was "why fireman is the greatest career". Her father was stationed on Canal street. His entire team went up to rescue survivors on the WTC North Tower and they never came back. After hearing this story, the entire class was dead silent for a minute.

This was the darkest day in my memory to date... and although I was about 20 blocks away and did not personally lose a loved one on 9/11...the events witnessed and experienced will remain with me for the rest of my life. I don't think the magnitude of what unfolded hit me at the time (being 19 and just having moved to the city to start freshman year)..It took me years to even look at the videos.Turns out I had blocked out a lot of what transpired. 23 years later...(a length of time now exceeding the number of years I had been alive at that time) I never stop watching the videos and listening to the stories....as painful as it is each year It has helped me to stay connected to each and every New Yorker who was there that day - ESPECIALLY those who were not as fortunate as I happen to be.

Two French film makers were doing a documentary about the New York firefighters, and on that morning one of them was with Chief Pfiefer. He filmed one of the only footage of the first plane hitting the North Tower, and then followed Chief Pfiefer and his men into the tower. He filmed their entire day.

I was living in Australia on 9/11 and this may sound strange but besides all the emotions from the tragedy I became overwhelmingly homesick. I didn’t see the coverage live and I only started watching it about five years ago. The scale of it is hard to comprehend. I appreciate these survivors sharing their stories and hope that it helps them heal. For them the pain of that day never ends.

[@queenandcorgis]

I was in elementary school on the opposite side of the country. My teacher turned on the news and a class of 9-10 year olds watched as the planes hit and the towers collapsed. The news continued to play the clips over and over for almost 2 weeks. My elementary school is a couple of miles from an air force base and they thought it was going to be next. Even 23 years later, I've still got anxiety about it and my memories are vivid. The sesame street special that was made after the attack helped me.

[@lefish5277]

Everything changed on that day. At least 3-4 planes had crashed near Zamperini Airfield/Airport before 9/11, so when my mom tried to wake me up to tell me what had happened I thought “so? Planes crash all the time here and everyone is always fine.” But then she showed me the TV. Between the time she woke me up and drove me to school, everyone had an American flag on their porch. I remember that drive to school like it’s seared into my brain. I had never seen so many flags, not even on the 4th of July. I knew something very wrong was happening, and something deep inside my child brain knew that nothing would be the same from that day forward. A seed of a mixture of hope and patriotism was planted. The fear was fleeting.

Then the second plane hit and I will never forget the scream that came out of her mouth, that is when I realized this is not a movie, it was real. She said we have been attacked and I'm not sure if you are going to school today. I ended up going but my school was the most silent it had ever been. We were all trying to figure out what was going on, why were the adults so scared? May God bless all those that died and survived. Rest Easy.

Life and the well-being of loved ones are universally precious, regardless of nationality or background. Power should always come with responsibility, and it's essential for nations, especially powerful ones, to use their influence in ways that promote peace, justice, and the common good, rather than furthering division or conflict. Compassion and understanding are key in bridging gaps across cultures and regions and nations ....

Unbelievable bravery...MAY they all be at peace absolutely horrific to no end

[@hawaiianpizza7]

Heartening to always see how people honors and respect the heros during 911 cause people felt the devastating impact and loss of this tragedy that binds us all human hearts together. I love the moment when Jeff was giving that "standing ovation"

It’s somehow sad that it takes tragedies like this to see the good in people, the great lengths they go to help others get through their misery. Way too often under normal circumstances we behave rather selfishly being too wrapped up in our everyday life and career that we don’t even notice our neighbors walking past us. I see too much cynicism and indifference in our society on a daily basis. I do wonder why only under tragic circumstances like the 9/11 attacks do we get to see the great potential for good that most of us have

Those firefighters were the true heroes. I shed a tear for them all! 😖

[@alemswazzu]

Like a nuclear winter. Absolutely Horrifying.

I was pulling into the parking lot at my office when the first plane hit. I went straight to the conference room, turned on the TV and called the other employees to come to conference room. Those that could watched all morning and cried with the people of New York. I watch the documentaries every year out of remembrance and respect. It’s almost 2025 and I hope to never see this happen in our country again.

Him describing the debris falling like a curtain coming down in a theatre is incredible symbolism. I will never forget seeing this happen. It was horrific, appalling, devastating and life changing. I hope all the souls lost and those who lost those souls are at peace. I also wish the first responders solitude for what they went through and the consequential health complications that followed. I pray there will never be something like this in our country again.

[@MoogieB]

You can tell the people who experienced 9/11 are still incredibly traumatized. They will never get over living through this tragedy. God bless them with peace.

[@tackleberry8604]

I truly believe the world ended that day, everything changed.....

[@The.Doctor2]

The world did end for the people who died that day. It was the end of their world. And first step into the world beyond.

[@jpmnky]

@@The.Doctor2What they’re saying is ain’t nothing been right since that morning. And that’s true. It almost makes you envy those that are too young to have known the pre 9/11 world.

[@amethyst413]

It ended for all the victims, and as for the rest of us, yes, life as we knew it was over, never to return.

[@jarrodmagnusson4101]

That's right the invasion of Afganistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Egypt, ETC... Over WMD which there was no concrete evidence in. Killing millions of lives for nothing. Building 7 collapsed magically for no reason and 2 trillion dollars missing from the pentagon. USA changed the world by their stupid decisions.

[@mariekatherine5238]

Same thing here. I was 50 years old. I fled from Houston St. with my cat in a carrier strapped onto my bikers my friend’s place on E. 82 St. She was in London on business. I was taking care of her cats. I stayed inside with nine cats for a week.
