A teenage student pilot flew a single-engine Cessna into a skyscraper in downtown Tampa, Fla., yesterday evening, killing himself but apparently no one else, government officials said.
The pilot was 15, a year below the minimum age for solo flights, took off alone and without permission in a Cessna 172 in which he had been scheduled to fly with an instructor, the authorities said.
The authorities identified the youth as Charles Bishop of Palm Harbor, Fla., a ninth-grade honors student at East Lake High School.
Sgt. Greg Tita of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Department said last night that Charles had been dropped off by his grandmother, Karen Johnson, for a two-hour flight lesson that was to begin at 5. Sergeant Tita said that Charles was conducting ''preflight procedures'' in the plane before his session, and took off at 4:50 p.m.
Sergeant Tita said the flight instructor was ''busy with other students'' when Charles began taxiing down the runway.
''He did not have permission to take off in a stolen aircraft from St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport,'' Sergeant Tita said. He added, ''The instructor was in no position to stop him.''
Charles's takeoff was observed by an air traffic controller at the St. Petersburg-Clearwater airport, just west across Tampa Bay from Tampa. A long-range Coast Guard helicopter was already airborne on a patrol of the type instituted since Sept. 11, and was sent to investigate, according to a Coast Guard spokesman, Cmdr. James McPherson.
A crew member made hand signals to the pilot to land, but with no effect.
The Cessna 172 struck the 40-story, glass-and-steel Bank of America building on the 28th floor, site of the law offices of Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, The Tampa Tribune reported. The building was mostly empty, and the plane, a six-seater, caused little damage and no fire. The Cessna 172 weighs about 2,400 pounds, about the same as a small sedan, and carries 56 gallons of fuel. Its wingspan is about 36 feet.
Although the crash seemed like a miniature replay of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, government officials said they did not believe it was an act of terrorism. Still, it seemed likely to revive questions about airport security, not only for passenger jetliners but also for small, general aviation aircraft.
It was not immediately clear if the youth intended to crash the plane; the bank tower is near another tower of similar size and one aviation expert said it was possible that the teenager intended to fly between them. The pilot never spoke to air traffic controllers during his flight.
The Federal Aviation Administration suspended air traffic in the area, barring takeoffs from the Tampa and the St. Petersburg-Clearwater airports from 5:10 to 5:50 p.m. and halting arrivals for a few minutes after 5:10 p.m.
A spokeswoman for the aviation agency, Laura J. Brown, said that the crash investigation would be handed over to the National Transportation Safety Board. The board is in charge of accident investigations, not crimes or acts of terrorism; the board's taking jurisdiction is a sign that for now, at least, the crash is being viewed as an accident.
The security of general aviation airplanes has been a major issue since four airliners were hijacked on Sept. 11. Even after the airlines were allowed to resume operations in mid-September, private planes were kept grounded for weeks. At the Airplane Owners and Pilots Association, Warren Morningstar, a spokesman, said, ''This unfortunately and tragically demonstrates what we argued before -- a general aviation aircraft just isn't capable of doing much damage.''
Aviation agency records showed that the plane was owned by the boy's flight school, National Aviation Holdings Inc.

Scott, my dad is a Vietnam vet who has cancer from agent orange poisoning, anyways I showed him your channel and he really enjoys all of your content. He really likes your 💇 hair as well. We think your a good guy. Thanks for all that you do. It's great to see my dad laugh and have a good time watching your content.

May I please say "Welcome Home Sirs! Thank you so much for your service, everything you had to sacrifice, both over there and since you've both returned home. I am so, so, SO TERRIBLY SORRY for the horrific treatment you all received when you returned home, and how everybody conveniently forgot that you were all forced to go via some sick, twisted "birthday lottery" on TV; how you had to see Hell on Earth while you all were there; all the heartache and traumatic pain of losing so many of your buddies and colleagues over there; everything horrible you were subjected to; for having to listen to Forrest and Bubba and Captain Dan talking sh!t (sorry - that bit's a joke, to bring a small amount of relief to a hard topic!?!), and for everything else both over there and since that both the Vietnam War and it's disgraceful aftermath amongst the public towards the veterans - who didn't have any choice but to go because of conscription, and who had already lost and suffered so much already (Shame on them!! - meaning the public; some of whom even spat at Vets and made appalling remarks to!?!) - and finally, Thank you so much for putting your lives on the line in the hope of enriching the existence of mankind in peace! God bless you all!!" to each of your father's...?? I am not even American; nor was I even born by the time Vietnam ended, but being a history buff, I've heard all about the kind of treatment you were subjected to upon returning home from Hell on Earth, already with so many scars that nobody can ever see or understand - and I've always thought that that was Abhorrent, Despicable, Beyond Cruel, Callous and Inhumane!!! ( I mean, ffs - the army who fought to KEEP SLAVERY and lost, received more respect and "honor" in defeat than you guys who weren't defeated, had no choice in whether or not to participate, and were doing so in the name of improving the lives of total strangers; as opposed to brutally oppressing an entire group of human beings because of the colour of their skin [?!?!] received after your selfless service!!!) I find that extremely unfathomable to my understanding or comprehension, AND SO UNBELIEVABLY OFFENSIVE TO MY VERY SOUL!! God bless you both in your lives, your recovery and the rest of your lives!! With much love, best wishes and Admiration, From Ireland 🇮🇪 XxX

My sister was a Flight Attendant on 9-11 she was in the air coming back from Germany for hours after the attacks we had no idea if she was safe or in danger. Late that night we found out her flight had landed safely in Canada because US air space was closed. I remember the fear my family went through. I can’t even begin to fathom what the families of the victims went through.

Did she fly for United? My best friend Dee Harnish flew for United from Gemany and the same happened to her. They were told to change into their street clothes like they were passengers.

I was watching The Today Show when the second plane hit. My daughter, who is now 26, came in the room just as the second plane hit. I’ll never forget her asking “Mommy, why did that plane fly into that building?” I can’t describe how I felt that day in words. I’ll just never forget.

i was at college, writing up a 'response to the event'. BUT no plane hit Building #7 of the WTC. and yet the B7 still fell to the ground. due to thermite charges, which caused the over 3000+ cancer deaths of NYC/WTC. FD: i watched 'escape from NY' on 9/10/01 with the movie ending around midnight // there was no one for me to call to warn to leave NYC. gwbush sold out the usa to the saudis and On 9/11/2015 GOD hit Mecca with high winds, knocking over an industrial crane, which landed on and killed 1700+ Muslims as they did their circle in the sands' routine, round and round. The owner of the WTC made out with $14 Billion, one per plane hitting this 3 Buildings. only 2 planes and 3 buildings fell = losers fell for the big lie

I was at work in a bar here in Greece and somebody came in and said there had been a plane crash, I put the news onto the TV thinking "oh that's sad" not realising the extent of what had actually happened. There were quite a few people in the bar at the time and I still remember when we all sort of realised at the same time that both towers had fallen-the shock and sadness was immense. Even now when you watch footage of it, it still brings a lump to your throat 🥺

[@eviedevet2172]

On 9/11 I was watching TV when suddenly an extra newscast came on. I was so shocked what I saw. I still get goosebumps.But the bizarre thing was that I later learned that 1 of the perpetrators a few months before he flew into the building that he had flying lessons not far from where I live. I will never forget the images. Thank you Scott for telling this story. 💞

[@aprillisa5950]

I told my story so many times word for word but I do remember it as if it was yesterday because I live relatively close to New York City. A lot of the other things you mentioned like Challenger Disaster, Princess Di and Michael Jackson's death, those incidents are in my mind and I remember every detail of each of them because it was a prominent part of my life. Very interesting story.

Thank you for sharing this, my friend. I hadn't heard anything about this. So tragic. I was sitting on the couch for 24 hours straight watching the 911 coverage from the moment it happened on TV with my 9 month old in my lap, suitcases packed, just waiting to hear that we had just entered a war, and where to go with my little one. I remember being outside and where I could usually see white plane trails, there was an empty blue sky per the order to shut down all flights across the country. A very terrifying time. Thank you for all the work you put into these videos Scott. You are appreciated. Have a good weekend. Blessings - Judith 🎵🎭

I had forgotten about this story until you mentioned the Accutane. I have to agree with you at least he didn't hurt or kill anyone else. I was working in the billing dept of a major downtown hospital in Dayton OH when I heard the towers were hit that horrible morning. It felt like something out of the War of the Worlds. Later we watched online as people jumped out of the windows to their deaths. Something I will never forget.

Hey Scott! Love your channel. I was a TD bank IT person working on the 19th floor of what is now the TD West tower in Toronto. I remember telling my boss I was not waiting for instructions on what to do. By 10:30am I left my office for Union Station to get out of the banking centre ASAP!! Cheers!

I remember it being late here in Australia and i was watching Rove McManus when the news hit on the 9/11 attacks, every TV channel in Australia was covering live and our Prime Minister was actually in Washington. It was terrifying absolutely terrifying and my family had friends in both towers that never made it out. I remember this because of the accutane, I feel terrible for that kids mother. Great video Scott.

9/11 I was in Egypt...stood on my hotel balcony looking at the Pyramids. CNN was on in the room and it was so surreal. Looking at these amazing pieces of history....as that horrible historic event was happening. I had to fly home on 9/13 and it was beyond tense.

On September 11th I was at home asleep in my bed because I had the day off work. My Mom came barging into my room and woke me up and said, "Get up. We're under attack." And I was glued to the news the rest of the day. I can remember sitting there watching a broadcast and it was a helicopter shot of the 1st tower burning with a wide shot of the background in the same shot, and my eyes weren't looking at the burning tower, my eyes were looking at the background and any speck of anything moving. Then all of a sudden I was like, "Wait, whats that?".....and within seconds you could tell it was a plane and we watched the 2nd plane hit. I will never forget that day.

9/11 The day the nation came together. There was no hatred. No rudeness. No protesting whose life matters. We were kinder, more helpful and more patient. We went to church. We hugged our children and loved ones. We gave blood. We did good things. There was no hate. Sure, we wanted to get even. But for that first year, kindness and love triumphed over all. Not a day goes by I don't think of that day. And I've continued to be that kind person. That person that chooses love over hate. I'll hold the door for a stranger. If someone needs help, I help. America needs to do a lot of reflecting. This was a great upload Scott. I had no idea about this other plane crash. 🕊️🙏❤️

[@apriltanguay6198]

I was 8 months pregnant at home when I turned on the TV and saw the second plane hit. It was a horrible feeling. We had a family friend on one of the planes that hit one of the towers. I prayed very hard that night for everyone involved. I can tell you where I was for Diana's death, Michael Jacksons death, Farah Faucets death, which passed the same day as Michaels but didn't get much coverage and The Challenger disaster. Thank you Scott for all you do. I love watching your channel to be able to visit the places you visit as I will most likely not be able to go to.

I'll never forget that day. I was in a patients room in the ICU, and the TV was on. It came across while I was in the room, and I just stood there frozen. I had to snap myself out of the shock, I had other patients to attend to. It was an emotionally hard day, and still trying to work my shift. I was just completely in disbelief 🥺 may they all rest in peace ❤

I will never forget waking up to my phone ringing non stop for over ten minutes on the morning of Sept 11th, 2001. My boss called to tell me where I work is locked down with nobody allowed in or out of the gated grounds. He asked if I saw what happened in New York? I turned my TV on and sat down not able to talk anymore. Where I work is a big what is called a Earth Station which is a large facility of huge satellite antennas used for some Government operations but mostly business television. Of course it is marked as a hot spot because of its size and what we do. The three employees locked in the facility luckily were able to eat what ever others had in our lockers for food. Forty eight hours later we could go in and out again but we had guards at the gates. Every 9-11 after this tragic date I take the whole day to reflect on what happened and watch lots of the programs on TV and You tube about that day. I really love your way of creating these videos and hope you know how much we all love you.

[@flocosta]

Scott, you are always so respectful no matter the story. I love that about you. This story is very sad, and I feel bad for his mom. She will be grieving for the rest of her life, no doubt. On to 9/11. That had to be the saddest day in American history and around the world. I was at work when my manager told me that a plane hit one of the towers and then came back to tell me another one hit the other tower. I told him I was running across the street to Kmart to buy a TV. I came back with it, and we watched the horror unfold. I cried, I was scared, and I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. Probably the most depressing day of my life. I was also worried because I had two sisters who lived in PA and four sisters living in New York. One of my sisters in PA and her husband had flying privileges because my brotherinlaw worked for American Airlines for 20 years after retiring as a Captain in the Air Force. I was so afraid that one or both of them were in the air somewhere. It turns out that my brotherinlaw was flying home to PA on a different flight when the planes hit the towers and the 3rd one hit the Pentagon. He knew nothing about it until his plane deboarded and they saw the TVs in the waiting area. Thank God he was on a different flight! My other Sister in PA lived only about two miles from the Pentagon, but thankfully she and her husband were fine. All of my New York family were also ok, but one of my brother-in-law's was a taxi driver in New York City. He dropped a passenger off that morning in front of the twin towers less than 15 minutes before the first plane hit. It really affected him, always wondering if his passenger made it out alive. It was just an awful day. 9/11 is what motivated my son-in-law to join the army. He was in the 101st airborne division out of Fort Campbell and deployed to Iraq three times, and also part of the unit that caught Saddam Hussein. He mailed me money with his face on it before they burned it all. That day will never be forgotten. May all of those poor souls who lost their lives rest eternally in heaven. We will never forget.

We all have a 9/11 story, but your comment on remembering the Challenger explosion is what always gets me. I grew up in Central Florida, so we could easily step outside to watch a launch in the sky above. We were, as a school, in the quad, watching because of the first teacher in space thing. Keep in mind, we'd seen dozens of launches before. I don't care how old you were, when you look into the sky and see two plumes, it's really really bad. Teachers were trying to get us back into class, but we all knew. Finally got the rest of the day called off of school, if I remember right, so we could express our feelings to our families.

I was in my room, studying (I was in Form 4 back then - equivalent to Grade/Year 10) when my Dad came in to get me (this was before handphone/cell phones and we didn’t do pagers) down to watch TV about something happening in America. We saw smoke coming from one tower, then as we watched, the second plane flew into frame from the back, tilted then ploughed through - and the news anchor - CNNs Paula Hahn back then and she just paused for a few moments then continued giving us all the facts, pausing again when first one tower collapsed and then another. It must’ve been very difficult for her and the crew, thinking that they’d just witnessed an event causing possibly several thousand deaths at that very moment but still had to do their jobs at such an extraordinary time.

I was 15 years old in Algebra 2 class. Hard to imagine it's been so long ago.

Sept 11, 2001 I was working as a cashier at Target and a customer came in the store and told us what happened, the store was quiet that day no customers

[@catherineferguson7388]

Hi Scott, On 9/11 I had a week off work, but I stayed at home in 🇬🇧where I live, that was a horrific day for America, it was so sad when the Twin Towers went down. That plane in Tampa Florida must have been really scary after 9/11, it must have brought all the memories back. I can’t believe it was caused by a 15 year old, I mean what was he thinking ??? I feel so sorry for his mum, I’m glad no-one in the building was hurt, RIP to the real pilot, RIP to all the victims of 9/11, never ever forgotton. 💐💐💐💐💐💐, thank you Scott for putting this out. ✌️🤟🏼

[@someonesprincess3]

I was teaching a 3rd grade art class. That day was horrible. The school principal sent everyone home and closed the school for the rest of the day. Thx for sharing . ❤🇺🇸 👍🏼👍🏼

[@johnbest1978]

One disaster I remember was the spaceshuttle launch explosion of the1980's on live TV. I was in second grade watching it live during science class. But 9/11 I was living in Seattle and I was getting ready to move back to New Jersey and I remember my heart breaking for the hundreds of innocent people in the tower's and on those planes and it just had me depressed for a little while after that and I remembered being scared to go into the city for anything. I remember alot of tragedies that happened that I could share with you Scott but way too much to write in a comment box. Have a great day my friend and take care.

[@esthergoulart3571]

I was getting ready for work when my mom called me! I turned the TV on and I couldn’t believe what was happening!! Those poor people stuck in the towers!! I can’t imagine what it was like for them!! 😢 May they all rest in peace!! Thank you for your video Scott!! Thank god no one was hurt!! Love you!! Be safe!! 💙💙♥️♥️💖💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙😢😢😢😢

[@BrendaR667]

I was working in Midtown Manhattan that day; my sister worked in the WTC, South Tower on the 52nd fl. When one of my supervisors said that a plane hit the Trade Center, I was like yeah right. Of course I was in denial. I immediately tried to call her cell phone but as we all now know, cell phones were jammed. Thank God I finally heard from her a few hours later, she walked down 52 flights of stairs and was able to get one of the last trains out to Queens with a friend. Our family was so blessed and thankful. I still watch the reading of the names in memory of all those who unnecessarily perished that day. We will never forget!

[@BeverlyDeRosier]

That was the longest walk of my life - we were in the stairwell on the 21st floor when the plane hit and I will never forget thinking this is it I'm going to die. I lost friends and colleagues that day and pray that they are R.I.P as well as all of the other people lost on that horrific day. - Scott love your videos!!

[@daniellebennis2126]

Thank you to all the first responders that literally risked their lives during this tragedy Im the daughter of a firefighter/emt and step daughter of a retired nurse so i always have huge respect for you all Also thank you to the passengers for trying to help save everyone on the plane (i believe it was flight 93) i know it was super scary for you all to go through that Wow i didnt know thier was a crash in 2002 My dad was also in the air national guard along with my uncle (his brother) so im always thanking anyone in the military One of my cousins is trying for his pilot's license right now he's 19 though so hopefully he will be safe going through it

[@debbieparker5377]

On 9/11 I was driving to work when the first plane hit but nothing about it was on the radio so u got to work someone said did you hear about a plane crashed into the wtc in NYC ? I dint see any news til that night but our radio was simulcasting the TV so we listened about what was happening that day. I had forgotten about this til this vlog, which means how insignificant it was just a troubled kid. Great vlog Scott, and by the way.....Go Bolts😁

[@rosemariejanssen7790]

I lived in San Diego. My son called me and asked if I was watching tv. I said no. He said turn on the news. I turned it on and saw the second plane hit. I said to my son are we being attacked. Is it war? He said it looks that way. We both were devastated when the towers fell. We knew hundreds if not thousands lost their lives. I cried the rest of the day for those lost souls. 😢😢😢. I never knew about the boy who flew a Cessna into the Bank of America in Tampa. As a mother who lost two sons my heart goes out to his mother. I’m glad no one else was hurt. Thank you Scot for this and all of your videos.

[@Ed-R]

Hi Scott. I was either heading to or just got to work when the first plane hit the tower. I live in central Alberta. A customer came in the place where I worked at that time and mentioned the plane flew in to the tower. My coworker and I listened to the CBC Radio for the rest of our shift that day. When I got home I turned the TV on and flipped between CBC and Global. I don't remember hearing about the Tampa crash. Keep up the good work.

[@Krayburn02]

Was in my senior year of high school… I remember my teachers had the news on and we just sat in shock we did nothing that day… it was so surreal. I remember leaving school at noon and every high way was backed up… I live in Michigan and just everything was quiet that day… never forget❤️

[@radiogirl85]

I was working for the Fire Department in a clerical position on 9/11. I remember going in to the office that day and the Emergency Operations Center had been activated leaving myself and one other secretary there. It was eerie since there were usually 11 other people in the office on any given day. We watched the news all day in the break room, cried and got very little administrative work done. The phones were eerily quiet that day.

[@Christine-il8nm]

Very sad storey never heard it befor .thx for sharing scott .

[@jennymess99]

I was driving to work in queens listening to Howard Stern. When he mentioned that a plane flew into the 1st tower. I thought he was kidding and as I looked up I saw the smoke. Every year I watch everything about 9/11. I still cry for all those poor people. We can’t ever forget about this.

[@syreetaabney6968]

Scott great video, on September 11th i was working i was teacher during that time, it was not until i got home turned the TV on i seen the planes hit the building.

[@DisAmy33]

Man, so fascinating! I’ve lived in the Tampa area since 2015 and I did not realize this happened here. I do recall when this happened in 2002 when I lived in NC but did not make the connection after moving here - sad story! it’s very cool to see you on our streets tho! Wish I could’ve ran into you!!!!

[@krystina.nelson217]

9/11…was at work then got a call from my parents to get home because my brother, who is a naval pilot, was leaving asap! My husband is a firefighter and we relive this every year. Never Forget!

[@mynameisvna]

I was getting ready for my college classes and watching the news when saw the second plane hit. It was such a confusing day. Living in San Antonio where we have so many military bases, there was so much precaution. Everything in the city shut down. I went to school and I got there and all classes were cancelled. I live so close to the airport and it was so eerie not hearing any airplanes. I will never forget.

[@joshd.godfroy4761]

I was 14. My mom was picking me up from advanced band practice. I played the drums. Eighth grader. The most horrific thing I seen as a teenager. It's very hard to get me to cry but I did. No lie. Great video Scott. You still are my favorite youtuber 👍

[@jacquestedcooper]

Great job on this story! Thank you

[@traci4750]

Living in Las Vegas, NV, I was on maternity leave. 9 months preggos, my husband woke me up in shock just saying "they're gone" My cousin was VP of a company in the wtc, he did not go to the office that day but he did lose over 30 employees. RIP.

[@dianewood15]

So so sad and very tastefully done Scott I live very far away but that day no one will forget and my thoughts were and always have been for everyone caught up in this awful day

[@mareekatz]

I was actually at work at Kmart Warehouse. We got to see the news footage of the 2nd plane hitting the tower I'll NEVER forget what an amazingly beautiful day it was & how clear & eerily empty the skies were.( all planes had been grounded at this point ) I was so terrified driving home that day !!!! RIP all the victims of 9/11.✌️❤️🙏

[@Tuinierenopstrobalen]

I'm from the Netherlands, I was a student in 2001. I arrived home and my mum called me to say I needed to turn on the TV. As soon as I did the second plane flew into the WTC. I remember thinking world war 3 might start. And I was stuck watching TV for 2 days (my birthday is 9-12, I obviously didn't celebrate it that year).

[@heathermanning5368]

I was home during September 11, my Mom had me put on the Tv awhile before the second plane hit the tower! I’ll never forget that day 😢🙏

[@cecelia1350]

The company I work for occupied several floors in the south tower. I worked in accounting handling the NYC office but worked in MD. A coworker who normally worked in the tower was visiting the MD office that day. Not only did he lose his mother, who survived the original bombing, but he lost 176 of his colleagues that day. Many of our coworkers who survived were so traumatized that it took years before they could be near a skyscraper. The 911 tape of one lost colleague (Kevin Cosgrove) was played at the sentencing of the siperson tried for 911. The tape is heart wrenching so be careful when deciding if you want to hear it. The scream he let out when the tower started collapsing is something you’ll never forget. I sympathize with people who have mental illness, but knowing at least some people in the tower realized what was happening when the towers fell, makes it hard to sympathize with this kid.

[@jezzp2]

I was a senior in college about to graduate. It was life changing for my industry. Hospitality was deeply effected by this. Nobody wanted to travel

[@Melanie-xw9xg]

Thank you so much Scott for this video. Didn't know about this plane crash. I love love and I miss Princess Diana and Michael Jackson. I was at work when I had about Princess Diana's death and Michael's death. I was at work when I heard about the 911 Terrorist attacks and we were told to leave early. I seen on the news everything on the news about the attacks. This is really really sad. I appreciate your videos and research Scott. Rest Easy to everyone who's passed away on 9/11/2001.

[@kimymarie596]

Never heard tell of this before. Thanks for the video

[@tikesiachristian8449]

I live in Tampa and never heard about this story 1st time I guess because I am not originally from here so Thank you for telling this story

[@aunttaiche9155]

Great video Scott! I didn’t really remember this happening so soon after 9/11. So strange for someone so young to end his life in that way. I visited Tampa back in the late 80s and I agree it’s a beautiful place! Thanks for taking us along and telling this story.

[@JessicaLopez-ll1ix]

You’re in my neck of the woods Scott!! 😊 My mom & sister we’re working on the 39th floor when this happened and I was freaking out!! So scary! P.S. If you’re still in the area you should check out the Edward Scissorhands house/neighborhood! The owner is super sweet & will let you film inside and show you around. Has some cool items inside. Thanks for all you do Scott!!

[@sabercrosby8128]

18:38 ironically this would have been similar to the sound the plane made when it crashed. Talk about strange timing. Good vid. I thought I was the only person that remembered this.

[@TaniaSpies]

I was watching TV late at night here in Australia, and I thought I was watching a movie. I changed the channel and it was on all the channels. I didn't know what I was watching, but the first tower was on fire, then the second plane hit and I watched everything live happen. So very sad. I was 21.

[@vintiago]

Thank you for sharing this story with us. I had not heard about this before. Thank goodness the people in the building were safe. I lost some friends on 9/11 and to this day I have not been on a plane since then. This was an amazing video.

[@1f5sda]

I am sorry for your loss!

[@whodatpat504]

On September 11th I was driving a hazmat truck listening to sports radio mike and mike. Let’s just say I was followed a lot that day by local authorities and I had to pass the Nola airport. I had 3 units behind me as I drove down the highway. I had to go that way because of my route. Scott at least nobody is cutting off your film 😂 Great vids Scott! 😎 if you ver visit Nola let me know.

[@AdventuresofmalibuandDad]

I remember this incident. I was a Tampa Police Officer working at the hockey stadium when this occurred. I saw the plane hanging out of the building. Crazy day. Cool video you made of it. ❤

[@mygrammieis]

Prayers for all those folks who we lost 🙏🏻🕊❤️🎶✌🏻

[@leannesmith4909]

My son was 6 months old and I was 17.at this time .rip to all those people.

[@alliekuma4234]

I was in my 6th grade science class and my teacher put the news up on the computer. We all stood around and watched the live news clips of people falling from the building and just showing the repeated clip of the planes hitting the buildings. I remember covering my mouth in horror. After my mom picked me up from school she just asked if I knew what had happened and I told her I did. I was just confused as to why. I remember after that I would be very scared for a couple years when a plane or helicopter flew over my house because I didn't know if they would bomb us or crash into our houses. I had no idea this event even happened so thank you for educating us.

[@VlogHype]

I lived in st Pete at the time, I heard there was some sleeper cells in Tampa. I didn't know if they would react or not. I was on alert of some sorts during that time. Thank the lord they didn't. I got off work at 6am and was relaxing watching the news then it came on the tv. Never knew or heard of the plane that hit in Tampa. Thank You Scott for another great vlog.
