- Watch as 9/11 First Responder Andy Trabanco shares his personal 9/11 story along with facts and figures about the World Trade Center, 1993 bombing and the events of September 11, 2001
I have watched countless 9/11 stories and this one was by far the best and the most moving one I have ever seen. I will never forget 9/11 nor this man's amazing tribute to it. Thank you so much for sharing your stories with everyone.
Thank you! This is my dad, I am so grateful for your kind words, I will pass them on to him. He is a hard worker and really wanted to put something out there what happened that day. Thank you again
Andy's a hell of a teacher. He gives the background and then goes step by step through the events.
Thank you! Will tell him! -Marisa (his daughter)
Please tell your father thank you so much for his service and his compassion and humanity ❤🙏@@marisaandmatthewlangdon2280
I can only admire the honor and kinship displayed by the firefighters of our great country. It really is inspiring
God bless you. Your courage, your strength, your commitment...this is what we are called to do. Px.
Fascinating man who knows a lot of history.
I learned new things about that tragic day that I never heard about. So interesting to listen to...thank you for sharing.
Thank you ! I will pass the kind words to him! Marisa (his daughter)
I'll never forget how majestic and grand those towers looked as my family and I would drive by them on our way to visit our relatives, you could not miss them. I'll also never forget how the last time I saw them, it happened to be on the fourth of July... they were gone not long after. Then when my family and I drove by... I could not even recognize anything, I even had a nightmare about what had happened not long after. I remember my sister bringing the newspaper home.... In 2008 I went near the site that was still being constructed into the memorial fountains that are there today, I remember looking over and seeing the massive construction site, rubble still present... I could not even comprehend it or wrap my head around it all or the huge empty spaces that stood in front of me. All of these people, the most unthinkable most unimaginable thing to ever happen, there are no words for it. Thank you for sharing this with all of us, and making sure no one ever forgets what happened, as we should never. May we never forget the bravery and selflessness of so many that day and all those lost.
Outstanding program! Well done in a simple and real setting. The retired gentlemen conveyed a thorough, well organized, historical presentation with clarity and heartfelt dialogue. God bless him and those who put forth time and skills to accurately remember September 11, 2001. San Antonio Tx
God Bless you Andy from London UK
I’ve been watching so many survivor stories since the anniversary on the 11th. This one is by far one of the most insightful recounts I’ve heard. This hero right here knows so many little details down to the names and how far along they were in their pregnancies. God bless him. I would love to buy him a coffee and have a conversation with him ❤️
You told your story of 9/11 so well. I have listened to quite a few stories, each heartbreaking, but the detail you give about the structure of the buildings and sequence if events is excellent. You are an inspiration, as well as all the hero's and people that lost their lives that day ❤
Thank you for your Service Sir...We will never forget 😇🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇🙏🏻
I learned so much. I never really knew the total impact just the numbers..which were horrible..however hearing the testimonies and the survivors make it more real and I would love to visit the memorial
.God bless all who were there and all who lost loved ones..God bless the USA..
Thank you so much! I could listen to you talk for hours!
Thank you! Marisa, his daughter
I could listen to him for hours. It was so interesting about the building of the towers. Thank you for sharing and God Bless.
You should hear him when he speaks Spanish ! Lol from Marisa (his daughter)
Thank you for sharing your story. My niece and I used to go every year to the 9/11 Tribute Museum to hear the stories of the Docents who volunteered their time there. We were so saddened to learn that the 9/11 Tribute Museum closed in 2022, but so appreciative of the stories that are being shared here to keep the memory of that day and all of the people that it affected in our hearts and minds. Never forget!
Andy, TY for sharing all the stories. Blessings to you and your loved ones, and all those who have been touched by 9/11.
Wow! What a sad but great explanation of the buildings and why they imploded and why so many lost their lives in this horrific tragedy. I live in New Zealand and would love to visit NY. My first stop would be The Tribute Museum to pay my respects to all those who perished on 9/11. Thankyou so much for your detailed account. God Bless. Pat. 💌
Thank you sir for this excellent account of the buildings and what happened. God Bless.
Well done! Your explanation of the constructions of the buildings in comparison with the Empire State building‘s really helped put things more clearly. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I cannot tell you what hearing these stories mean to me. So many of us remember where we were the exact moment the attacks happen, but our little stories from so far away pale compared to those of you who were in the thick of it. My prayers still go out to you.
Thank you very much! This is my dad, he worked very hard on this. I will pass on your kind words. Thank you again.
What a fascinating deep-dive into the buildings themselves, followed by the tales of heroism. It wasn’t only the first responders who reached out to those in need - it was EVERYONE who found themselves in the fires of Hell that day.
Thank you for your knowledge, thank you for telling the stories of those who are no longer here to speak - bless you for your courage and for your love.
Thank you for your service and all the tiny moments that would go unheard without you. Interesting facts about the buildings I hadn't heard too. It is so massively important to hear about the inspirational moments because you can see how this could have been a thousand times worse without the kindness of civilians and selfless job of the rescuers.
Thank you so much, I loved reading your reply. I am Andy's daughter. It means so much to him to be able to tell his story. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for this video, one of the very best made about 9/11.
Insightful, impactful, and inspiring. Thank you for sharing Andy.
Thank you, I will pass on your kind words to him. Marisa (his daughter)
WE STILL CARE BROTHER !!! WE LOVE YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU !! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY 😘❤🇺🇸
Thank you for your service and story, Andy. Much respect
Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you, this is my dad ! So proud of him.
Thank you sir! You are a hero🇺🇸
Brilliant. Thank you.
The flight attendant on AA flight 11 that he mentioned was named Madeline Amy Sweeney. My dad went to high school with her and they graduated the same year. She was a cheerleader and was really well-liked, and my grandma once described her as being "a really sweet girl." She called her manager after the hijacking and relayed information about the attackers and injuries onboard. She also reported seeing water and buildings shortly before the plane crashed.
The worst thing about her story is that she wasn't even supposed to be on shift that day. She was covering for a coworker that was sick.
She, like my dad, would have turned 60 this year if she were still alive. I hope, wherever she is now, that she's resting easy.
Thank you for your share God Bless you🙏🏽
God Bless New York 🙏🏽
God Bless The U S A🙏🏽
Thank you !!!
Marisa
Thank you Andy for the many details you provided! I learned some things I didn’t know. Thank you for your service throughout your life, and especially on and after 9/11. You’re a great teacher!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will never forget those murdered on 9/11. Every year I watch 9/11 accounts wherever I find them. This year there is a plethora of first hand accounts available. Watching these people, hearing their stories, seeing the emotions rise... this reminds us that people, humans, fellow citizens were brought down by evil. The footage of the attack is shocking, grabs our attention for sure. At times I had to remind myself that this was not a Hollywood action film. I still watch in disbelief. I feel these "My 9/11 Story" programs are necessary. Necessary to remind all of us that yes, yes this did happen and can happen again if we are not vigilant as a country.
❤💙 thank you.
Thank you, this is my dad ! So proud of him!
Thank you and God bless.
Very good video! You just let him talk and never interrupt. Love his knowledge of history and explaining the facts!
Thanks for sharing your story ..real news...# never forget
Enjoyed this immensely!
Thank you !
Thank you for sharing your story brother
1:15: Native New Yorkers HATED the Empire State Building when it was constructed. The beloved 1893 Waldorf-Astoria Hotel was destroyed to make way for the 102 story monstrosity. And in the 1890s, native New Yorkers hated all the 10 and 20 story buildings that were going up, ruining the view of the sky and putting neighborhoods in shade in daytime. It is all in what you are used to.
GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Brilliant sir
❤️
Why couldn’t people evacuate above the impact point in the north tower of WTC 1 and what prevented rescue? Also was it possible to rescue anyone above the impact point of WTC1? Thank you.
The NYPD aviation unit sent helicopters within minutes of the event but rooftop rappel/evacuation was impossible. Fire from below covered 90 percent of the rooftops so the pilots were unable to see the roof to stage an evacuation. Also,the doors to the rooftops were locked to prevent suicides and protect machinery, and they could not be electronically unlocked from below.
He mentions this around 18:07
The plane cut through the elevator cables&blocked allot of the staircases so people above the impact were trapped 1,300 just in one tower above the impact sight...so sad,tragic&totaly unnecessary....💜🙏🇬🇧
thanks
30:20: "In early reporting of the evacuation, large numbers of between 500,000 and 1 million people were evacuated by boat with a believed closer number of about 270,000 people actually evacuated. With about 130 to 150 boats being used in the response, ranging from Staten Island ferries that could hold about 6,000 people to rubber dinghies that could carry about two or three passengers at a time."
And they were NOT trapped in any way, shape or form. There are many ways off Manhattan -- not that it was uninhabitable after 9/11.
According to the Smithsonian more than 1/2 million people were rescued by boat on 9/11. (Which is what the gentleman reported). Get your facts straight before correcting people.
11: 45: Oh by the way, you know what other iconic NYC building could not meet either the CURRENT 1993 NYC building codes nor the CURRENT 1993 NYC fire codes? That's right: The Empire State Building. That's how it works. A city is a collection of building of different ages that were built to different standards and different codes. And again, even though the Port Authority was NOT obligated to follow the codes of NYC, they did follow the codes that were about to be adopted by NYC in 1968. You got it all wrong.
Wth wrong with you lol
9:22: WRONG! They DID comply with the 1968 code in spite of not being required to!
And the blast was beneath the Vista Hotel (WTC3, later known as the Marriott), NOT Tower #1! Get your facts straight. Part of THAT hotel was repaired and it was further fortified in case of another similar attack from below.
Go away
2:15: As an interstate agency, the Port Authority was not subject to the local laws and regulations of the City of New York, including building codes. Nonetheless, the World Trade Center's structural engineers ended up following draft versions of New York City's new 1968 building codes. That is, they EXCEEDED the EXISTING safety codes! Stop with your revisionist history lesson!
31:05: It was the biggest terrorist even in human history, not just the United States. The Irish/Catholic IRA terrorists killed more, but over nearly a century of murdering innocent people and not in one event like 9/11.
And it's funny that you say this is not a story about buildings, but about people. Your story was almost entirely about the buildings and you spent very little time talking about what you saw on 9/11.
Thank you for sharing your story.
