I'd like a mega projects on the clean up of 9/11 I'd imagine that went on for years
This would be awesome
It did im from New Nork im good friends with sanitation workers who did the clean up it was rough stuff apparently coming home covered in dirt dust and building materials some people got cancer from it
Absolutely! When they collapsed, the buildings ended up in the foundation bath tub. Neater than it could have been but still a pain to remove. Plus, if I recall correctly, the nose gear from one of the aircraft was found in 2011... 10 years after the event!
@@gannonfrank Yeah I don't doubt that a building that old guaranteed some asbestos around And just all the concrete dust in general can't be good for you
@@gannonfrank didn’t the lower floors of those buildings contain asbestos?

Jesus dude the plane going into the Tower still trips me out no matter how much I’ve seen it...
Yep, its like all aboard disintegrated into nothing
I’m from the UK and was on holiday in Ibiza on 9/11 , walking down the street I saw a group of people crowding around a Television shop , and went over to see what was happening, and then I saw the attacks on the twin towers, I was truly shocked and totally stunned.
I could swear at 14:57 you said "Fly in 25 Baby Seals" Now and forever more I will think of 25 barking baby seals storming a compound ;)
I was going to write the same thing!! I am pretty sure he did!
If we could get 25 baby Seals to take out Bin Laden, I would know for sure alien technology was involved!
I heard "baby seals" too!
Me too! Too funny! "aarrd aaard"
It cannot be unheard :D
He was harbored by Pakistan. No one should ever forget that fact.
he was funded by the USA....so?
Dude, there is not an iota of proof he was ever found or ever killed in Pakistan!
Probably not. It is more likely that sympathetic members of ISI (Pakistan’s Intelligence Service) assisted UBL. The understanding was that if he got caught by the Americans they couldn’t assist him and would also deny they helped him. The ISI was probably keeping UBL under wraps to be used as a bargaining chip at a later date
@@hectorbartlett567 Victor, you wouldn’t know proof if ‘proof’ was up your ass kicking field goals
@@hectorbartlett567 Oh yeah? Is that why they kept the entire area locked down for years, not just the house but the entire neighborhood.
And is that why they leveled the coumpound later?
Trust me, if I was paxtan, and I was getting paid millions of free dollars monthly(amounting to 33 billion eventually) for finding Bin Laden, then the last thing I want is Bin Laden to be found. And the ebst way to secure it, is hiding Bin Laden myself.
Hard to believe we mark the 20th anniversary of that horrific Tuesday this year.
I was in10th grade, headed to 2nd period.
I had just sat down for coffee break and flipped on the news . Never forget that moment.
I was in fifth grade, and my dad was stationed in Germany at the time, so we saw it all unfold when I got home from school and was working on homework.
I’ll never forget.
I was at work when the news started coming through.
At a software house that specialised in banking software.
It collapsed I believe as a direct result of the financial shock to banks, and I was out of work for some months.
I was stationed in Pearl Harbor on a ship but working for the barracks that the crew stayed in. Got up and just happen to turn the TV on and watched the replay. Base and ships were locked down for 3-4 days and I would drive around in a golf cart watching the base fence at night.
I was 4, eating sand or sthn idk.
Could do a megaproject on the ground zero clean up. Some of the steel was reused to build the USS New York. I heard the salvage and reforging process got delayed because the workers kept breaking down.
All the steel was packed onto trucks and shipped out to China to be recycled. Why the rush and need to get the evidence out of the country within days? The police or FBI would've went mental at a crime scene being pulled apart like that. If I'd lost someone there, I'd have been asking why they trucked it all up and the operating to ship it out to China in days began and the security for those trucks and at the docks was excessively overboard.

I was in Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan when this happened. I thought we should have left the country then.
We all thought that, but apparently the poppy harvesting was not finished by then
yep months later they lost the entire seal team trying the same play on some warlord. very quiet about that one.
to me it sounded like he said the flew in 25 baby seals
I heard that, too.
It sure did sound like that to me as well.
I guess they were trying to cute, bin laden to death.
I can't believe I didn't think of this Megaprojects! This was an absolutely amazing Megaprojects! I was at a bar that night and when it was announced everyone just started hugging each other even though we all didn't know each other!
Simon, your beard is getting a bit wild.
Two things, 1.) Simon drew "the line," on the conspiracy talk to stay on topic. Speculation seems like an impossibly easy thing to fall into on this issue. Great video. 2.) My air conditioner kicked on around the 14:50ish mark right when I SWORE I heard Simon say "The mission to fly in 25 BABY seals aboard helicopters who would then storm the compound and kill Bin Laden...." I had to back the video up to listen to it again...and again, and now I can't unhear it. Not to make light of a serious topic, but man, it really sounded like some badass baby seals were about to wreak havoc.
Baby seals have very sharp teeth. (And, I heard baby seals too.)
Lol...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mr whispering you’ll find it fake news. Mr Bin Laden is alive and well.
I heard the same!
Geronimo... For God and Country. History that can't be erased.
I'm not sure anyone is trying to erase this .....
I was living in Fairfield, CT on 9/11. I remember being able to see the smoke from the towers on the highway. I also remember going into school. I was in the 7th grade amd every classroom had the tv on to the news. I also remember kids crying in the hallway because they had a parent or even both parents who worked in the towers
That’s so sad for those poor kids.
Why didn't Osama didn't drink coke? Because it says bush when opened.
I was in Toronto. Just got home after an 15 hour day rigging a show at the Skydome, which then got cancelled when it was considered a potential target. I was called back TO THE POTENTIAL TARGET to take the show down. I refused, not because it was a target (it wasn't really) but because we were all so tired, it was unsafe. I had also already poured myself a drink before turning the TV on at the 'end' of my day. Drinking and heights don't mix... No one went back, and as I understand it, the venue didn't charge any extra for the days delay...
@Jordon Carlson Kinda, except the overtime thing. We would all have been in overtime (we already were when we left). It was just very unsafe (not the whole potential target thing). The company shouldn't have even entertained the thought of having us come back.
I lived in NYC, 1st time i ever seen NYC residents ban together don't matter who you are we helping you, it hurt ALOT of people seeing them towers go down same with NJ and CT people.
Thanks for the informative videos. You do an amazing job presenting and creating them.

"It's like America going into Iraq. Because a bunch of Saudis destroyed The World Trade Centre." Jeremy Clarkson. And could you cover the operation to capture Berlin by the Red Army?
Wow
@stacey abarham Why dus his virgins need to shaven
Israel and Saudi Arabia are tight. Don't forget those dancing Israeli's and other strange coincidences.
The war in Iraq had never anything to do with 9/11 or Bin Laden. It was about supposed WMDs which were never found.
Where did he say that?
Operation Desert Storm should be a mega projects video. Super interesting and a massive logistical achievement.
Before I start this video, I'd like to thank the MegaProjects team for coming up with really interesting topics to breakdown! Love what you all do!
With its recent collapse the Arecibo telescope (The one used for filming Goldeneye) might make for a good video, either here or sideprojects if its a shorter story
He did that already in Mega Projects.
Check out the channel Practical Engineering
@Diago767
Its a pretty good one, you're right!
czcams.com/video/yf3fD-CC2QQ/video.html
Areciebo telescope, is that the one they thought collapsed due to fire damage, but then found explosive residue on site?
Oh never mind, I was thinking of some other place:-)
Thanks guys, didn't realize he'd covered it already :)
love this channel its like turning on BBC1 and watching somthing interesting ER.. no Channel 5 in the UK Do that now well done Lads !
He was tossed overboard like trash. Way too good for him.
Should have left him for the sharks tbh
To be fair, this was a traditional Muslim funeral at sea.
I damm well agree but there is always his mind less minions that are brain washed by him ive met a few
That was way too dumb tbh, after all that poor sound did to many, his remains deserved worse.
@@chrisyanover1777 Simon mentioned that, which makes me wonder if any of their killers ever did as much for Christians or Jews, don't you?
Nobody ever shows the Pentagon anymore.
Where is the luguage, big structural elements like engine tail and such. And the entry speed of the plane exceeding the structural limits on that leveL?
@@josvercaemer264 *puts tinfoil hat on*
Pentagon is the biggest red flag for me. People can debate the towers falling from an explosion or jet fuel heat but there was nothing at the site of the pentagon, just a partially collapsed building. Also is it even possible for a plane to get so low to the ground without stalling/ striking anything else in the area?
@@fn9six and they did a controlled decent from 80,000 feet in a circle only to come ground level to hit the pentagon
The whole of 9/11 was and is and always remains inside job.
@@fn9six Stalling depends on the speed, not the altitude. As for striking other buildings, plenty of space around the pentagon.
No need to be polite. There was joy at the mass murders' death.
Why didn't Osama didn't drink coke? Because it says bush when opened.
You'd be surprised .....
I’ll never forget I was in 8th grade woke up to get ready for school the news was on from the night before I see hundreds of people outside of the White House and Times Square and the caption said “we got em UBL is dead.” At first I was like who is UBL? Then after a second I realized they meant Osama Bin Laden. I knew it was a moment I’d never forget as it was happening I remember waking my mom up who got my dad and we all stood in the living room at watched
bush is still alive bruh
"cia asset" death
subscribed thank you. your content on all vids is brilliant keep it up, humour is good
I was working in Washington Dc the night they killed/announced the killing. I was in an embassy removing old office furniture and loading semi trucks. When I noticed everyone hooting and hollering everywhere. People were coming out in droves and I didnt understand why. It was extremely late and I couldnt understand why people were celebrating at 1am on a random night. Finished my cig and went back to work. When I was picked up @ 6am when the job was done I was informed of the killing. pretty freakin cool to be there for it.
@@keltonfoster False. That whole story was called reverse intelligence.
and you believed it?
dont care if they killed him or captured him to torture for information. I'm just glad he's fucking miserable or dead.
@@FloridaHockeyFan yep. Sounds like you buy just about anything.
@@EldoradoTexas When you live in west texas there aint much else to do other than talk sht on the old inter webs. I bet you're one of the Q followers lol Believe every single conspiracy someone can connect a few dots with. I bet you still believe camera's steal your soul =D
Great episode!
I love that sometimes these videos are more out of the box!
Your channel is absolutely great to respect the achievements of common humans towards the world
I remember that day very well. Fantastic episode.
Want to suggest the A10 and the development behind the Bradley IFV.
Also for Geographics if it hasn’t been done yet, Afghanistan would be a fun one. Graveyard of Empires. Like, all of them.
You should do a Top 10s on the Dumbest 911 Conspiracies.
Another great video.
Excellent job
I was really surprised when he talked about haripur since some of my relatives live there and my family comes a from a mountain village pretty close to it.
Your beard is on point Simon.
I think we could have titled this "The hunt for a rabid terrorist" and we would have known who it was as well.
I remember watching that on tv.
For whatever reason, CZcams apparently unsubscribed me from this channel between now and last night. Subscribed again, but I hate when that happens and wonder who gets lost in the fray.
It's amazing to think Simon used to not have a beard. Over the years I've watched Simon go from a boy to a man
I was listening to my wake up radio station in Seattle, KJR Sports Radio, Mitch in the Morning was talking about the first tower being hit.
I wasn't far away when I heard about it. I was in school and the teachers acted weird all day, all radios and TVs off all day. Then I walked into the house and my dad was still in bed watching the news with footage of planes flying into towers on repeat
Well presented 👌
Another fantastic video
I had thought he must have died.
When they announced that they got him, I was shocked.
But like Simon said, once you're wanted on that scale it's only a matter of time.
And apparently the CIA didn't give up...
awesome, thank you!
I love when you do a topic that there are big conspiracy theories about and you just move right over that fact. It’s very professional how you don’t discourage them (no matter how ridiculous they are) and just move right past it
he keeps conspiracy theories for different video :D
Got here so early i almost saw Danny try to leave the basement
I thought I heard someone yell "DANNY, NO!"
There is no escape from the Blazement!
I remember that sad as day 20 years ago I was only 10yrs old but I will say the feeling of our country our people coming together afterwards was the best feeling ever. Won't ever be that way again.
unless we get 9/11 2.0 and then another subsequent search and kill I guess. Knock on wood that never happens though
@@harrymu148 I'm tapping the side of my head with one fist while rapping on the computer desk's pullout with the other, thanks. Not superstitious, but as my old friend Lenny used to say, "It couldn't _hoit, Bubby!"
I was in school in 3rd grade on 9/11. The teachers weren't allowed to tell us what what was happening, but a lot of other kids we being picked up early and we didn't know why. I remember when I was picked up, first thing I asked my parents why they packed me lunch if I was being picked up early.
I happened to be in detention too during lunch when 9/11 happened. Odd shared detention experience lol Except the teacher let us watch it on the news as it was happening, and that's when the second plane hit. She then quickly shut it off as a few other teacher gathered out in the hall where they rolled the tv out to, and continued watching without us.. Wild realization at the younger age to think that an actual terrorist attack was happening! To see the fear in the eyes of those who have family in NY is something that stuck with me throughout the years growing up.
Do a video on those amphibious assault ships. They’re huge and power projectors but different than aircraft carriers. Everyone does aircraft carrier videos and don’t see many on those. That one pic looks pretty old. No issue there. Just wondering are those Tomcats on deck? (Aft Starboard on upper left carrier) Would make this picture 20 + years old probably. 8:22
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Connecting Virginia's Eastern Shore to the main land, it is a bridge/tunnel system spanning the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay where it meets the Atlantic Ocean!
I literally just drove through it this morning. That’d be awesome!
Abba-bot-abad 😆. Think you added an extra syllable there, buddy!
i recall walking into the office on sept 11, i was working on special fx for the movie resident evil, so watching the planes crash into the WTC on the tv was a bit surreal.
Can you please make an "all videos" playlist? This channel is starting to get big to keep track of.
This sponsorship would've been better in 1440p ...
BA DA BUM BUM TSHSHSHSHHSHS
What got me was the special episode of Sherlock set in Victorian London (during the period of the original books) where Dr. Watson was still just returned from the Afghan war, I was like wow it really is all just a little bit of history repeating.
Do the Northrop YF-23
Please
Hasn't Simon alledgedly did this one?
@@josvercaemer264 i don’t think so. Or at least I haven’t seen it
Good video 👍
After this video I wanna do one simple thing - go and watch Zero dark thirty for the fifth time.
Same
An excellent film.
“Usama…. Usama”
Jessica Chastain. Yes please.
a cool way to become a racist- watch hollywood
There’s a fantastic tv show called The Newsroom and they did an episode about the killing of OBL.
The episode was titled “5/2” and highlighted the steps that the fictional media company ACN had to take in order to ascertain if the information and rumours were correct.
If you’ve never seen the show then I highly recommend it as it’s very funny but also serious as to how the news is portrayed.
Neptune's spear? Didn't he have a trident or something
Yeah, I legitimately want to know how they name these operations. 90% of them I’m like, how tf did you come up with that nonsense????
@@phoenixfox2697 I am convinced they have a focus group that just thinks of cool sounding names for projects and operations and then try to make the acronym work later
“Front Towards the Enemy” incredible detailed video about the events leading up to NS. Everyone can believe what they want, but no one from Butte would lie about something like this. “Everyone speaks gun”
" front towards the enemy" should appear on the screen before every mainstream news broadcast
Would be an interesting case to cover the 2 modified Blackhawk helicopter into stealth helicopter if Simon can gather any classified information about the helicopter and it's technology into the Megaprojects new video.
I think you should do the f22 raptor, I would like to know more about it. Definitely one of the coolest planes ever.
I think he has, maybe on a different one of his channels 🤔 if not, I stand corrected lol
If I were to make a request, why not one of the ‘broken arrow’ incidences? I think we need to know more about those
I will never forget where I was on 9/11. I was walking by the TV just as the second plane hit, I could not believe what I was seeing. I was on a flight back home within the week.
Do a video on the US Afghanistan war as a whole, since it's such a massive topic (and long war).
Ok me mis hearing Simon at 14:59. Hearing Flying in Baby seals not Navy seals. Made my night.
Hell yeah, all over this one. Any chance you could do a video on the rise and fall of Bucks Fizz? 😁
You're in a land of make belief if you think Simon will make his mind up to do that video.
@@Chalky. he'd have to be sure before making his mind up though. 😎
Say Simon, could you do a megaprojects video on the Exxon Valdiz disaster?
Please do a mega project on the Airbus A-380 jumbo jet
I appreciate sticking to the topic 🙂
I was born in the late 80’s. 9/11 was a defining moment in history for my generation. It was relieving when justice was finally served. I hope the victims families can move on.
This was a good one, dude.
The black hawk down incident might be an interesting subject for megaprojects....or at least one of his channels.
Hey Simon. Have you done a video on grand central station yet?
I was in my 7th grade math class, and the science teacher came running in saying turn on the TV. I remember every detail of that day. Kinda wild.
I was a 10month old baby when 9/11 happened
Im now a 20 year old man
I feel so sorry for people my age who had their entire childhood ruin by the war on terror
The US did kill many children in this war.
Would just like everyone to know that 1440 is US news and US views primarily. Signed up and was pretty disappointed by the lack of localisation options.
Beards going hard dawg
A-10 Warthog/Thunderbolt II video please?
You can go straight to 12:50 to watch the topic announced in the headline.
Please do something on the X-15 rocket plane. It is such an insane plane and perfect for this plane.
September 11th, 2001: I was in school, I had been excused to go use the restroom. While indisposed I heard someone running down the hallway screaming at the top of his lungs: “WE HAVE BEEN ATTACKED!” On my way back to class every classroom door was open with the news blaring on every television. Once I made it back to class an announcement was made over the school PA system stating that school was mandatorily being let out early as a result of what was going on. Watching the Twin Towers fall, and the rest of that hell at such a young age is something that will stick with me for the remainder of my life. So sad!
Yea it hurt, I lived in NYC, Bronx at the time in school. They told everybody GO STRAIGHT HOME. It was the 1st time I ever seen everybody in NYC band together don't make what race you are people was helping each other, the towers going down hurt me ALOT since I been there on a school trip.
Alfreda Frances Bidowsky is one of the few people that actually knows most or all of the details as she tracked UBL for years.
Detention? What did you do? Lol
You should do an Angkor Wat video next
"Zero Dark Thirty", that depicts the operation, became my second favorite movie of all time, after "Saving Private Ryan."
Thank you for your beardedness.
I'm guessing Simon is in Lockdown based on that Awesome Wild Ass Beard he's sporting ;))
Excellent👍👍👍
i totally thought he said they flew in 25 baby seals, haha. I was like "awwww...wait...what...?" 😆
9/11/2001. I was on family medical leave following the birth of my daughter. We had a long night, seeing my daughter didn't want to sleep. My sister burst into the house yelling "They're dive bombing New York!"
'...With most on the ground saying it was the most ferocious bombing campaign they'd ever experienced.'
The fact that these people have so enough experience with being bombed to be able to compare bombings against each other is actually the saddest part about this video.
I was in school I remember it being a really nice day put but all of a sudden things got very strange at school they sent us home early none of us knew why and when I got home I saw my grandma crying in front of the TV and saw the footage of the towers coming down
Just an observation, Love your channels Simon!, regarding your last video, you mention Hitler in your last video and cannot get monitized from youtube? yet they are ok with osama binladen? Whats wrong with that picture. It's history anyhow, they should monitze you regardless. Thanks for all the great documentaries!
I to also remember exactly where i was on September 11th. in collage thinking why is everyone getting upset for? definitely a day everyone will remember.
Thanks to 1440 for supporting me on this video, head on over to join1440.com/megaprojects to support them!
Wow
F-15 and it’s awesome best overall aircraft and the cost is perfect for mega projects
"the war would only go one way?" lol the USA left. 20+ years later, the taliban still control the country and usa has given up and left
Nope....just do your wikipage read....Nobody cares about your commercials nor their cheap and quite useless products ...
If I want or need something...I will search for it myself...
Also...just do a vid on the Dutch meaning of...Wij van wc-eend adviseren wc-eend...
Maybe you can scrape some more bucks there aye, mate?
The ad is so long, that I unsubscribed.
Simon are you growing your beard as long as ZZ TOP as it seems too be getting longer ?? and whats with these sponsers changing every two mins ??
