The fact that you were not yet a sparkle in your parent's eyes and had this genuine reaction to these events speaks volumes to your character. I knew one of the NYPD officers who ran into the building. Never forget. I won't. 🇺🇸👮
By noon on September 11, 2001, I was in an army recruiting office. I believed I was doing the right thing for the country. I spent the next four years as a combat medic with two deployments. I don't know that I did the right thing, but I didn't know any other way to respond. I'm still haunted from over there, and disgusted by the lies we were fed by politicians. I desperately hope that something we did over there mattered. Thank you if you've taken the time to read my words. Take care of yourselves and each other, especially now.
There is an actor who has been in some really big movies, including The Bruce Willis movie Armageddon,named Steve Buscemi,who at one time was a NYC fire fighter,and during 911 went back quietly without the "look at me"crap and temporarily rejoined his unit and worked 12 and 15 hour days searching the rubble for survivors and recovering remains
I had a very good friend who was in the north tower. He made it out safe, lost 6 of his coworkers, but spent years struggling with depression, guilt, and ptsd. A year ago he committed suicide. My heart goes out to all those who lost their lives that day, but also to all those whose lives it has claimed since.
Thank you for honoring those lost by scrolling their names. When 9-11 happened, I was home taking care of my young daughter. Her dad called me and told me to turn on the news. It took me a while to comprehend what was happening. It left me feeling quite unsettled for weeks. I would like to encourage you to listen to a beautiful song written by Mary Chapin Carpenter after she heard the experience of a man who worked in the hours after 9-11 looking for survivors amidst the rubble. He talked about bearing the weight of those lives lost, which I think you will connect with. It was such a powerful experience and is such a beautiful, powerful song. It's called "Grand Central Station". Please give it a listen, and find out the story behind it.
I was repairing a flat tractor tire that morning at work. I had just turned 21 a couple months earlier. I know I grew up alot between waking up that morning, and going to bed that night. Alot of us young guys were seriously thinking it was a chance the military draft would be reinstated, and that we might have to go fight these evil murderers. We were scared, but we would have done it in a heartbeat! This country was a different place than it is now. We were all united by this. We became a team, in a way I cant imagine ever happening again. The world completely changed that day. We lost ALOT of our freedoms that day.
Daniel, I was 17 when 9/11 happened. I watched the towers fall in real-time via a newscast on a classroom television. I was also in high school two years earlier when the Columbine massacre occurred. When you say, "Let's just stop the taking of human life, please," it cuts deep. Even in my own lifetime--even in yours--there's been so much needless death. We so carelessly devalue each other, so often fail to see the Image of God in the face of our neighbors, so quickly let hurt turn to anger and violence instead of grace and forgiveness. It robs us of each other, it robs us of ourselves, and it is heartbreaking. Keep listening to the music, Daniel. Keep digging deep into the meaning of each incredible piece of art. Keep seeking out the goodness, truth, and beauty that, by providence, still exists in the world, even amidst the brokenness.
I was sitting at my local VA waiting on an Appointment watching it on TV with a room full of other veterans, all our jaws on the floor, we all knew we were under attack, and none of us were in a position to help, and man that is the most helpless feeling in the World!
You seem to interpret "pray for the ones who don't know" as referring to people who hadn't heard of the attacks yet. Maybe it isn't something younger people are told, but they spent days, maybe even weeks pulling people out of the collapsed towers, so my mind has always gone to those who didn't know if their loved one was buried alive, awaiting rescue or already dead.
Daniel, thank you for doing this... and for keeping politics off your channel. ♡
Alan Jackson is a valuable comity for any genre of music. A wonderful writer and great singer. He’s one that always unites us in times of trouble. This song meant so much to so many during this time. He was able to say what we were all feeling in this horrific situation.
My late husband and I were in our home office in Rock Hill, SC when the news came over the radio and then we turned on the TV. We held each other while we watched in horror. To this day it is hard to believe that what we saw really happened. After those first few days of seeing the devastation over and over, I haven't been able to watch it. Felt so helpless....😥 We had a flagpole in our yard and my husband walked straight outside to lower the flag to half-staff. 🇺🇸
Yes, I stayed to the end. And it was a very fitting and heartfelt tribute."It is not up to us to change everybody else. It is up to us to change ourselves".- Daniel.
I was a stay-at-home mom at that time. I was home that morning taking care of our 2 year old son and doing things around the house. My husband was at work, which was only a couple of miles away. Our daughter was either in Kindergarten or 1st grade and was at school. My husband called me from work and asked if I had the TV on. I didn't, but when he told me a plane hit one of the World Trade Towers, I turned it on. Right after that, the second plane hit. We knew at that moment that it wasn't just some sort of freak accident. We knew we were under attack. My husband came home from work, and picked up our daughter on his way home. Lots of people went home from work that day, and lots of parents were picking up their kids from school. Nobody knew exactly what was going on, how many planes were going to be flying into buildings, or how safe we were as Americans. While my husband and I watched TV for most of the rest of the day, our children played and went on about their childish lives. Or so we thought. About 6 or 7 years later, we were thinking about going to New York City, as my husband's parents lived not too far away in New Jersey, and thought we would take the kids to see New York while we were in the area. We learned just how much 9/11 had affected our daughter when she said that we should go, because acts of terrorism had ramped up around the world by then, and nobody knew how much longer the Statue of Liberty would still be around. Quite a statement from someone so young. As it turned out, she wound up majoring in international studies in college, wrote many papers on terrorists and terrorism, and today works in D.C. for our federal government, doing her part to protect our nation. That's a true story. I am sure she isn't alone in her age group (now in their mid-20's or so) in wanting to protect our nation after living through such an act of terrorism in our country.
I was in 10th grade history class- we had just started a chapter on world religion. Absolute panic hit. Parents came running to the school to sign kids out. I came home and found my WW2 Vet Grandfather crying and shaking with anger. That’s was my day.
The day this happened, my team at work had a meeting in the morning with a vendor that we were looking into buying their software product. They were from New York and their headquarters was in one of the upper floors of one of the towers. While they were meeting with us, their coworkers were dying. At the time they did not know their fate. I learned the word "surreal* that day. Never forget.
Dear child you have restored my faith in our younger generation. The fact that this song gave you cause to self reflect is one of the best things I've witnessed in a long time. And please remember it wasn't just two planes into the towers, one also hit the Pentagon, and one was taken back over by Brave selfless Americans that choose sacrifice their lives and literally forced the airplane to explode killing them rather than hit the target of the mad men sent from hell. Thank you sir!!!
I was doing eye exams and my husband was working in Florida. I was in a panic. The entire city of Atlanta was shut down. No cell phone available and we had no idea what would happen next. I prayed and thought that this might be the end. Thank you Jesus that my family was safe.
A friend and myself had been anticipating 9/11/2001 for weeks as we were going to see one of our favorite bands, Journey, at a local county fair. I was working as a security guard at the time, and had just worked the graveyard shift the night prior. So, I was asleep when the first plane hit. Said friend called me, woke me up, and asked if I had the TV on. I used to use news channels to lull (bore) me to sleep, so it was already on one of the cable news channels (don't remember which at this point). As I'm watching this, and trying to wake up, I just couldn't process it. I quickly ended the phone call, got dressed, and went to my Grandmother's house, whom I was always very close with.
A few years after 9-11, three of my children and I took a vacation to the eastern United States. Along the way, we visited Shanksville, PA, NYC, and Washington, D.C., to pay our respects for those who died in the horrible attacks. I cried when I saw where the towers once stood, I cried when we drove past the Pentagon, but I cried the hardest in Shanksville as we stood looking over the field at the flag which marked the place where the plane hit. At that place, there was quiet, no sound of traffic or people talking, just the birds chirping. Memorials now stand at the three sites, but seeing it still "raw" gave me memories I shall never forget. My heart still cries for all those lost in the attacks.
