"They had about an hour and a half to save 17,000 lives"
And dammit, they tried. They rushed into those buildings trying save as many people as they could. Firefighters are another breed and I have so much respect for them.
"They run in when others run out." Amazing people and all heroes
@@vernieb2005 agreed
Yesagree
Brave men &women see these people is what young kids need to be taught as a hero NOT a sports person
@slabbusterrtr7690 Agreed. And definitely NOT a GD Politician either!😢
My husband is FDNY and survived that awful day. We lost so many friends. My son is in the academy now. I have 3 nephews and a cousin on the job. Both my sons grandfather and great grandfather were FDNY. It is handed down generation to generation. As I watched this 21 yrs later my heartache is still devastating. I can’t stop crying. For those of us who lived it everyday we will never forget. But unfortunately so many already have. 💔🇺🇸💔
The honor and sacrifice of these brave men and women will never be forgotten. I wish your family well. Good fortune, health, and safety be upon you all.
Kathleen: I am a nurse who was working in my hospital that day. Everyone was in shock, doctors were in tears ; we worked our hours and headed home. As I was leaving the building I met the head of nursing and she asked me how I was. I finally broke down and cried having kept myself together up to that point. Each year I watch videos like this 60 minute show. I want never to forget. I never will forget. I think of firefighters, policemen, people on the planes, all who worked in all the buildings and the people who crashed into the ground In Pennsylvania . One thing I am SURE of : I WILL NEVER FORGET.
Much love for you and them
My brother wanted to serve after 9/11 it increased his passion
These heroes are remembered and honored around the world. Sending my deepest respect to these brave men and women, and condolences to everyone who lost a loved one. from Finland ❤️
“Nobody refused to go in” heroes. That’s the only world to describe them. Heroes.
True, yet nobody thought the buildings would collapse, had the known, or if there was evidence to support that possibility, no one would have been allowed to entered
The 911 operator who stayed with Melissa is a saint. Still talking to her after she's gone. 17:54
Absolutely heartbreaking 💔
It broke my heart. Her little „Oh my god“. She knew and she kept talking to her.
She called her mother that night, delivering her a message feom her daughter. It was a great comfort to her
The PTSD from being a dispatcher must be magnanimous.
Hero
@@jamesfreeman2258 oh man .. this was so sad. Absolute hero. 💯
As a firefighter (Chilean firefighter) it’s imposible to me not feel the pain and the sadness of their sacrifice, Honor and Glory to the FDNY brave.
Gracias por tu servicio!
Chévere trabajo.
Avoid the police as CBS national amusements hates law & order in population dense areas.
(not good for ratings)
Thank you for your service Sir! You and your fellow workers are much appreciated ❤❤❤❤❤❤ 👨🚒 🚒
Heart bravery and sacrifice they all are
Unimaginable bravery and I will never forget
Orio Joseph Palmer . You brave dude beyond all comprehension
You almost got to floor 83 to save the girl
You knew you were gonna die
You kept transmissions per your duty
You are an American
Performing a heroic act
Just like your comrades
I will think about you rest of my life
would have been honor to meet you .
United We Stand
I love what you wrote. I'm an English major and it's not a lot of words, but you made them count. ❤️
@@mbc264 bless you my friend
His name is Orio Joseph Palmer, not Orlando.
@@CPR12345 thank you for correcting me . I will not forget .
I wonder how many New York fire fighters now believe it was an inside job ?
The lady that said "it is very very hot" I want to cry when I hear her vulnerability and sense of powerlessness . I hate suffering and my inability to be effective in any shape or form.
I saw a surviving firemen say in a different interview how they lost not just 343 firemen, but over 4000 years of FDNY experience 🤯
WOW thanks for sharing that
That doesn't even make sense 🙄if 20 of then have 20 years experience that doesn't mean they have 400 years experience 🤡
How could they lose 343 and keep their mouths shut about how they died ? Not much of a brotherhood
The footage of the first crash is just so unlikely and historic. The fact that it was taken by firefighters is even more incredible. We heard their very first reaction. This was absolutely a day of infamy. RIP to the heroes who saw danger and went straight towards it.
Out of all the videos I have seen, that one is the most impactful. It captured the exact moment the world was forever changed.
Technically the video was not by a firefighter. It was by a crew of documentary filmmakers (Jules and Gedeon Naudet) who just so happened to be filming the firemen that day.
@@CPR12345 Jules was with chief pfeiffer, Gedeon was back at the Engine 7, Ladder 1 firehouse with probationary firefighter Tony Benatados(sp?).
@@Quaker-tc8ue yes if you want to get technical. I just meant that both of them were involved.
@@CPR12345 you started it.
I was adding clarification.
My dad was a firefighter in Milwaukee, and I will never forget how devastated he was. Classes were dismissed early (I was 14), and he picked me up. Seeing my big bear of a dad physically weep behind the wheel of a car became a core memory for me. I was 14, and I don't think I had fully grasped what had happened. Until I saw him
😢 That is sad. Thank you for sharing.💕
I was in Chicago when it happened. I was 9 years old. We were let out of school early, I think about 11 a.m. local time. My mom was not home, she was working in downtown Chicago, so I had to go to my friend's house and stay there until my mom came home. I saw the 2nd plane hit the South Tower in a replay of the incident on my friend's TV. I couldn't believe it. It felt straight out of a movie. My mom came to pick me up and we went home. All we did was watch 9/11 news coverage the rest of the night.
@@musicman76enator I am so sorry you had to witness this by yourself at such a young age. You poor thing. You must have been terrified.😮☹️😘
Thank your dad for me, for his service!!
Milwaukee here. Please thank your dad for his service for me ❤
omg, the sound of the "jumpers" collapsing.. that will forever haunt me. I can't imagine the true horror it was for all these lost firefighters and survivors! may you all rest in peace
A coworker of mine was late to work, as she was walking up the first plane hit and she was blown out if her shoes. A guy grabbed her and they began to run, she walked home barefoot for 12 hours. That us all she would say.
Every anniversary, I take 2 hours out of my day and I watch documentaries like this on 9/11 and I shed tears for those lost. I know it's not much, but for the people who sacrificed their lives, it's the least I can do.
I do the same…….. 😢
Me as well, though I tend to spend the week before and several weeks afterward watching everything I can. I feel compelled.
@@corneliuscrewe677there’s a channel on YT called American September that has SFL 9/11 videos that you may find interesting
@@corneliuscrewe677I hear ya. It's November and I'm still watching! 😢
me too
Just an incredibly heart breaking story, and it was told so well.
All of them, including Cassano, Palombo and Pfeifer losing his brother.

(Did you vote for Bush or just support him?)
Today we ask ourselves: Were these planes remotely controlled drones?
@@markusmuller6173 Only an intellectually compromised individual would ask such a question. Please seek immediate psychiatric assistance.
RIP to all those firefighters that travelled up the stairs even though they reported explosions, they still marched upwards to save the unsavable. The definition of bravery, our heroes.
Awesome people. They had absolutely NO idea that others had KNOWINGLY sealed their fate by planning these buildings to collapse in the knowledge that they would be in there together with the unfortunate civilians.
Owner of the WTC complex didn't go there that morning, he went for a haircut when there are barbers shops all around and within the WTC. His Children who also worked in the WTC complex also somehow miraculously had something else to do out of town that day ... not to mention he re-insured the WTC complex just beforehand against just such an occurrence, specifying exactly that: Commercial Aircraft Liners Fly into the complex buildings when Commercial Airliners aren't allowed to fly anywhere near in any case into buildings that were designed to withstand a commercial air liner hit ...
And that is just 'scratching the surface'.
Like you say. RIP all these people. RIP.
@@team3383 show proof that they planted explosives in the World Trade Center.
I was trying to hold my tears but this comment made me cry for sure 😭
My father was FDNY and was off that day. He lost so many of his buddies and he has never talked about the horrors he saw in the following days. I cried watching this knowing I would not be here today if it wasn't for that circumstance. Watching this gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. I was born two years later the day before the second anniversary. My father has permanent lung damage from all that smoke he inhaled and to see the sacrifices of his brothers makes me proud to be his son. I praise the FDNY for their bravery and have the utmost respect for them. NEVER FORGET.
There were no firefighters off that day... all FDNY off duty firefighters were called in to report to their respective fire stations...
@@ReneChewbakayeah, I thought that seemed a bit sus. 😞
@@ReneChewbakaHe was off but still got lung damage?
@@hmq9052 I think probably he smoked 30 cartons of cigarettes while he watched 9/11 on TV.
NOBODY was off that day. Lol.
Orio palmer was a beast. Getting up that high that fast is impressive let alone carrying 75 lbs of equipment!
I cannot put into words how painful it is to watch this episode. I am a son of a firefighter who from my very start of my life holds my father in the highest possible respect and love. I also served in the fire service and have the highest respect for firefighters. The people who are called to this profession are unbelievably brave and caring. When the bell goes off, without pause, immediately their attention goes to "what and how can I help someone".

It’s beyond admirable, my dad has been a sheriff in tampa for over 17 years now and now he wants to protect the schools so he isn’t retiring , the love we have for our fire fighters and police is unreal, and as a daughter of a cop , you know when we say goodbye to our parents it’s a different type of goodbye . I was 10 when 9/11 happened and heard the screams of my family when we watched on live tv the 2 nd plane going in the towers and it has always stuck with me that scream and the terrifying moment I realized the world was evil , god bless you and your family . I’m glad you are one of us ❤ be safe
@@violetsun2343 Thank you so much for your kind words. It is beyond me how there are so many people in this country who are unable to appreciate the first responders as well as the supportive people in the background who continue to do their best efforts to help people in need. It is so refreshing to here from you, one who understands and appreciates the men and women who continually put their lives on the line for others. Thank you, again!!
@@kenc_sr.8857 they don’t understand !! Cause no one knows what it’s like to be selfless and being a first responder you are as selfless as they come. Thank you for your service as well. It boggles me to that ppl could not appreciate how truly remarkable of a person it takes to be a first responder, I will respect you and ur family always :) god bless you and your beautiful family , and most importantly in this crazy world stay safe. Love you ! 🫶🏼🔆🙏🏼🔆❤️xxooo
@@violetsun2343 Thank you, Violet. Blessing right back to you.
These people are completely and utterly, selfless. The things they did for people are just amazing and I’m in awe.
It gives me hope angels are real.
I haven't teared up in a while, but that operator call got me.
me too that was rough. especially at the end when the dispatcher kept trying to talk to her
It's because of these men & women that I devoted my early 20s becoming a Firefighter,EMT & Paramedic. It's because of them I spent my mid 30s studying Biology focusing on Healthcare. It's because of them,that now in my 40s,I was accepted into medical school training to become a Surgical Assistant in a Trauma Surgical Team.
It’s important that these stories are told, these men are true heroes and their sacrifice should always be remembered and honored.
Very true ❤️
This New Yorker so agrees. It’s hard for me to even watch this so many years later. I knew one of those firefighters who perished (Steven Bates), who came from his firehouse in Brooklyn to be one of the 343. But stories of heroism in the face of death also remind us of just what courage, service, commitment and character really look like.
My dad was a fireman, British. On 911 he was then 70 years old,long retired , I watched my dad cry tears for his fallen comrades . His fellow brothers and sisters. Fire fighters throughout the world are family.
I once knew a firefighter in the Australian bush... He was your father's cousin!
😢
My Father was a firefighter in a city in upstate NY he died at the age of 56 cause by fighting fires going in without a mask. The union unanimously voted to name an award after him The Carl H Hillman Award for heroism. God Bless all the fire fighters of NY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To me firefighters are the closest we have to real life superheroes. They're men and women risking it all giving their all to protect and save those that are scared feeling helpless. Extremely brave line of work. And not just them their families also, who may also be scared for them. Thank you for your emotional support in what they do. I understand it can't be the easiest.
The Naudet Brothers who recorded the 1st crash was documenting a new firefighter Tony Benintados(sic).
He said he didn't become a fire fighter to become rich...it was the closest he could be a superhero and get paid to do so. It was a very sweet poignant thing to say.
It would be nice if they could do a follow up 20+yrs later with Tony and where he is in the Fire Brigade.
@@BeingforthebenefitofMrPerkinsYes, that documentary on Tony, the "probie" was fascinating, especially since 9/11 obviously became a part of his rookie time as a firefighter. Hope he is doing well these days.
When Chief Pfeiffer talks about the last time he saw his brother (a Lt. in the FDNY) breaks me each time.
“They climbed to rise, to a place of selfless devotion” 🕊
I am from Morocco. I was 32 years old then and now 50 years old. I was watching the news at one o’clock in the afternoon here in my country and it was completely unreal. We are now in 2024, and I am still shocked whenever I see these events because they involve a lot of suffering for the victims. May God have mercy on them all. Amen.
I have to compliment you on this documentary, it was very tastefully and tactfully made. No stupid emotional music, the utmost respect for everyone who suffered on that day, and a generally respectful way of portraying it.
Its serves the USA. Instead of actually looking into HOW this happened, they report on the heroes who died.
Those heroes are true heroes and victims at the same time of their own country.
So sad.
Only one minor detail annoyed me alot and that's the pan towards the interviewer, especially when the interviewed person, the one that matters, speaks at the same time. Feels self indulgent and distracts from the person and story that matters.
@@team3383There's a time and a place for both. This is an hour long piece devoted specifically to the firemen who responded to the call of duty that day. It's not the time nor place to do a geopolitical history lecture. Get over yourself.
@@suzannee6673 Sorry woman. They were only there BECAUSE of geopolitical issues. Mainly greedy USA businessmen and politicians. (The 'corrupt' before businessmen and politicians goes without saying. Can't mention one without the the other nowadays).
Cheers.
@@suzannee6673 Sometimes the truth hurts. I guess your opinion is more important though. It seems as if you may need to get over yourself.
I can’t imagine waking up to go to work like any other day and not coming back. RIP to these true American heroes. 🇺🇸💔🦅
Amen. They showed there is human goodness that stays alive even in a truly horrific and evil context.
Jules and Gideon’s documentary is a moment caught in time! They did a great job showing this horrible day.
Oh, the courage, the selfless sacrifices, oh the sadness. I will never forget.💔
I got the privilege to do a closing for one of the surviving firefighters when he bought a house in Florida. He was one of the sweetest people I have had the pleasure working with. It was 10 years or so after 9/11. I felt honored to handle his transaction.
Bet you still got your commission out of the sell! 😡😡😡😡
@@ElverGalarga-tw4cc I didn’t get commission I worked for the title company and was not a realtor so good try.
What do you think she should have done with it? What a wierdo
@@kathleenlantry6112 He is probably just jealous that he is not as sweet as the guy I was speaking of in my comment.
Jealousy does not look good on anyone and will get you no where in life. Maybe he should start loving his self more and only want to be a better version of who he was yesterday. Be in competition with the yesterdays version of yourself. That’s the only person you should compare your self to. That’s how you win in life.
On another note, If I was a realtor I am sure as sweet as the guy was he would have wanted me to get paid as that is what sweet, kind and caring people do but here in Florida the seller pays for both realtors, the buyers realtor and the sellers realtor so regardless she he didn’t have to pay commission because the seller paid it so why would the realtor not charge him. His bottom line to buy the house would be the same either way. 🤦🏻♀️
He is probably trying to put me down in order to make himself feel better. 😏We are different. 😆
Orio palmer is the most heroic person I've heard it gets me choked up when I hear about he never stopped even when he knew he was going to die and didn't let that deter him to save lives
That hurt a lot..I cannot imagine what it was for everyone involved in some capacity to try and rescue people and anyone who lost someone in this attack. I just cannot. All my condolences to all.
Every time i watch something 9/11 and i hear that “bang” of a jumper, i pray that they are at rest and their family/friends have some sort of peace/healing.
I hear so many of you who have posted comments. So so tough.
this is one of the best tributes i’ve seen. never forget 😭
Amazing work by 60 minutes to pass on the stories of the firefighters. And great courage of the firefighters to relive their most horrific hours. I am thankful to be given a glimpse at what unfolded that day. And I am convinced that you are the antivenom to terror and violence: you represent the courage to stand up and help under any circumstances. You represent the companionship and love that connects us. In you, terror ends and humanity begins. May this be a message to people all over the world, who are pointing their guns - or even their fingers - at others. There is another way.
I feel the same way.
Beautiful beautiful words ❤️i agree
Pandering CBS "National Amusements" represents the corporatocracy who wants to abolish the Bill of Rights. They promote the UniParty, national toxicity and warmongering for profit. Perhaps you don't feel the same about *Project Veritas* because they expose leftist identitarian Idiocracy. May this be a message to Major Septic Media spews who believe in abolishing civil liberties for political expediency.
☝️ Pointing the finger at you for not being a critical thinker and refusing to use Liberal Western enlightenment evidence and reason when the media lies by structure and omission.

This episode brought me to tears of sadness and to tears of resilience. Human beings are amazing.
Not anymore!
@@terry4137 then you don’t understand
My years were of compassion and remembering! So many forms of tears!...
As always, 60 minutes sets the standard for journalism. An incredible account and tribute to these heroes.
Agreed. I’ve already felt they are the gold standard.
An incredible coverup of the demolitions of 9/11 is a tribute ? Not in my book . Lies are an inappropriate reward for heroism . The fallen were slaughtered on 9/11 , then slandered by 60 minutes.
Such a terrible day. Chief Pfieffer has such a calm voice despite all that he went through. My heart breaks for all who lost their lives that day as well as all who have to live with what happened.
He lost his brother on top of everything
@@Actually_Woke_6277he also was the one to send his brother up the tower 🥺
I am a Fire Fighter/Paramedic's widow, and I will never forget the sacrifices these Men/Women gave for all of us. They did us SO proud. they are the best of this Nation. And to those left behind, I know that burden, but you will live again. Blessings to you all
Just hearing the voices of the firemen relaying messages is heart wrenching
I don't know HOW anyone can watch this without getting emotional. It's REALLY hard for me because I personally lived through 9/11, and I STILL have problems processing it for myself.
I will NEVER, EVER forget. #nooneshould
7:25 “nobody refused to go in” that just shows you how committed they were to saving another life, god bless the fallen who sacrificed themselves to save others
Heroes, every one. But Orio Palmer absolutely grabs my heart. RIP and God bless them all 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🙏
I didnt want to see this 911 footage , having cried so much every time.
But we all have to bear witness to these Americans again and again and again
To say their names
I remember this day so vividly.
As soon as we all saw the plane hit we knew- those of us whose fathers and other family wore a uniform.
We knew what they would be rushing towards the danger...not recklessly...
but with the faded photos of their cherished family in their back wallets.
You Are The Best of America
The Very Best
The Very Best
beautiful ❤️
9/11 was inside job done by CIA Mossad to invade Afghanistan Iraq
my aunt was hanging out at a local bakery when the planes hit and after they fell there was a firefighter literally banging on the glass demanding they open the door cause he had a woman and 2 small kids that needed to get away from the that crap that was spewing from the debris. Before she could say a word the firefighter pushed the 3 inside and then shut the door before running back into the fog...she never knew who that man was but i wish the family he saved did so they could thank him
Heroes. My son is about to become a firefighter. Could not be more proud of him and all our firefighters. God bless the FDNY and all fire departments
Congratulations. God bless you and your son.
I'm the daughter of a Firefighter. I remember him standing me in one of his fire boots when I was about 2 years old. I was always fascinated by him. A real super hero. R.I.P. Dad 💞
I lost my father cousin and uncle on 9/11 heartbreaking day changed my life I'm so damn proud of them my heros what I wouldn't give to see or hear their voices one last time
you deserve the world . im incredibly sorry for your loss.
I’m seeing this program for the first time and it’s September 27 2022. It’s still so difficult to process this unspeakable atrocity. Belated deepest condolences to the surviving families of these valiant, selfless heroes. Rest In Peace.
Them finding Father Judge always hurts.
Tears came to my eyes hearing that woman trap on those top floor screaming oh God I'm gonna die may all those people who die on that tragic day rest in peace and never be forgotten .
@@blizzard1646 exactly May they be resting peacefully. And May their families be at peace too this is and was horrible. New York wasn’t a worn torn country these were hard working ppl. SMH they didn’t deserve this
Pretty sure I met Joe Pfifer in public after seeing the documentary made by the filmmakers who accompanied him. I asked him if I could hug him, and he said ok. So I hugged a 9/11 hero in the Best Buy. That documentary was intense, and highly recommend it. Bless these people who helped so many that day with their bravery.
I’m a retired California Firefighter and Vietnam veteran. Never forget FDNY, rest in peace my brothers.
9/11 was the month i started school. I still recall my dad, an English fireman normally so strong-willed, sounding so shaky trying to explain to me what happened. Nothing but respect for FDNY.
I’ve seen just about every documentary on 9/11, this one really hit deep. These are the real Iron Men of our world.
Have you seen turning point on Netflix?
Well I think the Ukrainian soldiers are.
@@Man-in-the-green Absolutely Agree with you there. Ukrainians are defending their motherland against an OUTSIDE attacker.
If anyone believes that airplanes could have brought down WTC 1 & 2 and that an office fire could bring down WTC 7 and that an aluminium tube (a plane ...) could make a whole in the Pentagon several corridors deep into the building is an idiot and yet this is what the American government wish their people and the ROW to believe ...
On top of that - What are the odds (there aren't any by the way) that both WTC 1 & 2 fall at freefall speed DIRECTLY into their own footprints...
When they said "we speak their names we honor them.." I felt that.... forever in history as heros.
I first visited New York City the week of 9-11-02, and I have been back another 5 times. I watched the rebirth of the world trade center, walked those grounds dozens of times, and tried to visualize what it must have been like, but it's always the stories from the people involved that give me those chills down my spine. God bless the FDNY!
My wife was born in Colombia came to the Bronx when she was 3 years old and got a chance to work in the world trade center and the '80s managing 50 plus people and she's 4 ft 11 in and 2020 she was murdered by a doctor she had the American dream and it was taken away from her God bless
@@kirkslayden834 I am very sorry about your wife. (Side note: I too am 4'11.)
These brave men will live in our hearts forever.
It's both sad & even infuriating that so many never bother or seem to forget to openly acknowledge the dozens of female fire fighters who also lost their lives on that day. I can honestly say that out of the many, many documentaries & interviews I've seen on the subject, none have bothered to focus for more than a few seconds at best on the women who courageously gave up their lives in an attempt to rescue the other victims of 9/11.
@@6ixConfessions I get what you’re saying but only 3 women first responders died on 9/11 and none of them were FDNY
@@Josh-hv2ze Fair point.
I just wanted to recognize the courage of the filmmaker, Jules Naudet, that was with the NYFD that day to record a documentary of them. He certainly had no idea this was going to happen. He stayed with them even though he could have ran. His bravery allowed people to see some of the last images of loved ones and also provided us with a permanent visual of remembrance.
Well said. I agree.
When he was entered the building with the Chief, he also filmed someone/s very badly burned, but has said, ‘no-one needed to see that,’ it wasn’t included when the film was released.
@@Quaker-tc8ue No, he saw people badly burned, he kept the camera away from them. There was never film of them.
@@EmilyTerranova he may not have filmed them, but others did, and the film wasn’t seen for the reason i gave.
@@Quaker-tc8ue Nobody else was filming in that building. I'm not saying you were wrong about the reasons. I'm saying he was too respectful to film them in the first place, and that's why they aren't in the film.
Here I am crying, true heroes. We will never forget. RIP to all those we lost.
u still crying ? dammn
@@mazen-98a geez 🙄 😒 watching the children talk about their parents and their choice to become firefighters following in their dad’s footsteps.
@@lm13981 than u might as well cry bout the crimes that ur country has committed in other countries 🤔
@@mazen-98aNo no, the tower was a extremely gallant towards the Yorkers. It would’ve made a lot more sense if you live in New York.
I'm 29 now and I will always remember watching 60 Minutes as a very young child almost every day with my mom and grandparents. I will always be grateful for them and those times because I believe they made me able to think more critically and also empathetically. I'm so, so glad that 60 Minutes continues to tirelessly deliver the same kind of hard-hitting yet sympathetic content for so many years. Thank you for all the work that every member of your team continues to do.
I’m 26 and I saw i just got home from elementary school and seeing it on tv I was so confused.
Im.41 saw it live in ireland 21 years ago
You had no concept at that young age and yet you try to sit here and relate to this tragedy like you understood what took place , unlike myself and others have to live with this burned in our memories for the rest of lives !!
Grow up
You watched a weekly program daily?
@@RS-cd9cf okay
I'm from Dublin Ireland and I can remember everything about that day I was in my friend's house playing the PlayStation and we paused the game to get some food because it was lunchtime here and I flicked tru the TV channels and the first plane had just hit and I seen the 2nd plane hit live and we stayed looking at the news for the rest of the day. I will never forget that day.
I’ve watched every 9/11 doc going and still the pain is palpable! Just shocking
What an amazing group of human beings?! Bless them all.
That horrible sound of people jumping and landing will remain with me all my life. The horror of it...
This was so raw and real.. I fought back my tears at so many points along the video. FDNY, your heroic acts will never be forgotten.
I think it’s also time we learnt about the stories of the unsung heroes of that day , such as the phone operators and the many cameramen who risked their lives filming even when the buildings collapsed . They helped us document these heart wrenching testimonies and the atrocity of that day so always remind us of the extremities of humanity .
These men have probably been met with the most extreme guilt over all these years. I hope they are doing well and dealing with that trauma.
RIP to all the brave FDNY and NYPD and other first responders who died in 9/11. Gone but never forgotten.
I never get tired of hearing these stories and it somehow restores your faith in mankind.
You are beautiful
Watching this in july 2023. I couldn't stop my tears... even to this day we the Greek people stand beside you guys.
My late husband was a retired Dade County, Fla firefighter. I will never forget him crying that day. He said to me they were his brothers. All firefighters everywhere are brothers and sisters.
Fact: Actor Steve Buscemi volunteered 2 days after 9/11 and rejoined his old fire brigade Fire Engine No.55 to work on "Ground Zero". "Ground Zero" was the giant pile of rubble left after the 9/11 attacks. Steve served as a firefighter in the 80's before becoming an actor.
The courage, conscience and compassion shown by the firefighters deserves every honor and every respect. They are an amazing example of devotion to principle amidst trying times and we can all learn from them. Thank you for sharing this important and sobering piece of history.
I'm watching this on the 22nd memorial
9/11 ❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What I remember while watching it on TV was after the collapse, the firefighter's alarms that were going off, these were the alarms that would go off if you became immobile or incapacitated and couldn't move while fighting a fire or performing other first responder duties. It was silent except for their alarms alerting the living to the firefighters who, just minutes ago were alive, it was so eerie.
Out of all the 9/11 documentaries I've seen, this one was particularly heartbreaking. All those men died as heroes and that's what they'll be known as until the end of time.
I've been a soldier. I've been an adult. I've been a professional. I'm a father... but I swear... part of me will be a terrified 16 year old kid watching those towers collapse for the rest of my life. Part of me never left that day, and I don't think it ever will. I will never live up to the heroism displayed that day. I wish we could have them all back.
As horribly sad and tragic as this is, we need to remember this horrible day. RIP to all the victims and tremendous sympathy to all the families of the victims.
I remember my mom telling me she was 9-10 years old when it happened, she was in school in LA California (don't know the exact school) but the teacher turned the TV on and the news was showing, absolutely insane, I'm only 14 years old and this happened 22-23 years ago, I'm very grateful for the first responders who saved people that day. God bless there heart, you got to have some very serious courage to go in a building that was just attacked by terrorists. Lots of love to the people's family's, friends, and kids who lost their loved ones that day.
They said about 350 firemen and women died of 750. Nearly half of them died that went to that call. That’s a heroic act, to put it lightly.
Hearing people hit the concrete was shocking. Firefighters don’t make make millions either so for them to run in there and save people they don’t know for the greater good knowing they’ll probably die is as real as it gets. Real hero’s 💯
its so heart breaking to see. cant imagine what people inside and first responders would have been going through
The fact people above the fire decided to jump off the building because they couldn’t bear the heat and the fear of burning to death so decided to jump instead just hurts. And the amount people and fire fighters that lost their lives to try and save others is truly heartbreaking. RIP to all the people who lost lives and family of friends that day even tho it’s 23 years later
Nobody jumped . They had no names and their bodies weren’t recovered
Thank You to the FDNY for giving your all to attempt to rescue my Uncle that went to Heaven that day. God bless Y’all, and God bless NY and America.
My father worked as a dispatcher at that time. All these brave men were lost but not forgotten. I nearly cried about 5 times.
Chief Ganchi’s last words were “I will not leave my men” that is true dedication true courage a man we should all look up too he died so others could live.
They faced an impossible situation without flinching. May the survivors and loved ones of those lost live in the peace and healing they deserve, despite all the horrors of that day
None of us that were unfortunate enough to witness this horrific day will ever forget the sacrifice made on this day by so many brave men and women. We will never forget. Never.
This really touched me 😢 what brave heroes those 343 firefighters were.
What every first responder did that day was beyond incredible and brave. Members of the FDNY, EMS, NYPD and PAPD, even those random members like “The Man In The Red Bandana,” Rick Rescorla and those two maintenance folks from the World Trade Center who freed trapped people near the impact zones; everyone of them did an incredible job. They all feared of “the big one” as was talked prior to 9/11. But every single one of them, those who survived and those who did not, performed their job to the utmost and the best of their abilities. Because of it, so many people that should have died would live. It still brings me in tears, but yet raises the question of “how would I respond or act if put in such a situation.”
The part with the kids got me! I was a month away from turning 7. My local firemen were my extra chosen family growing up. I went to EVERY single memorial and fundraiser my tiny Illinois town held, as a way to show up for my “boys”. Man it makes me emotional just remembering back.
I hope all of the hero’s and innocent civilians who lost their life on that terrible day are resting peacefully🙏🏻
Chief Joe Pfeiffer makes me cry when he talks about that last brief meeting with his brother. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
To say these men were brave is the understatement of the century. RIP to these brave souls!!!!!
I still can’t believe those firefighters went up there knowing the hazards. Incredible human bravery under threat of almost certain death.
R.I.P. to those we lost in the attacks.
I was at my opening my store when this happened. It felt unreal watching. At now 50 I still hold back tears even thinking about this.
i feel for you.
This is a very hard and emotional interview for the survivors. My heart aches every time I watch this.
As a volunteer firefighter in North Carolina. I can’t not imagine the emotions of those first responders and civilians that died and lived with that everyday. Every first responder had a job that day It was to save lives. They made the ultimate sacrifice and we will never forget
Matthew 5:9 🙏🙏🙏
1:10 Can you even IMAGINE witnessing this in real life? What do you even think of first? The damage? The death? The historical impact of what you just witnessed?
