      If so many people died, why did you not see even 1 family heartbroken the next few days. No Tv coverage when they "live to flash sad faces" on TV. There is one person who does know who blew up the towers. Every 9-11 how come they don't have families there? Or on TV? Don't believe everything media say's. They STILL are making fake news.

"Why are you recording at a time like this?" This is why, we need to see this. We need to remember it happened. The people who think "we need to have this, we need to see this" are the people who preserve history. No matter what their reason is, they preserve history.

Made me feel as if I was there that day. I watch these often as my small way of paying a tribute to the victims and their families. I was 6 when this happened, but it was my first core memory as a child and has stuck with me since. God bless the victims and their loved ones left behind to deal with the aftermath 🌹

    I’m still deeply traumatized years later after watching this event on live tv. How do you explain to a child what happened that day and how it changed the trajectory of your life forever? My parents didn’t know it then, but this event lead to me joining the military after turning 18. They never gave me their blessing but I knew it was something I had to do or I’d never make peace with what I saw. And now as a veteran I’m still torn by what I now know of the events that took place before and were the direct cause of the tragedy on 9/11/01.

I watched many documentaries in school and while they made me realize the depth of the situation. It wasn’t until I visited NYC last year and visited the memorial site that I truly got it. Those names on the reflection pools and looking at how big they are caused me to look up at the sky. It was a beautiful day, just like the morning of 9/11. I just pictured the jumpers, the height of those buildings, the people rushing to get out and then the sound of the planes hitting made me extremely emotional. I just hope those who lost their lives went fast and painless. 🥺❤️

    Just the thought of being on the phone on the second tower being told to 'Get out'
    and then suddenly you see a small silhouette of another plane tilting right towards you,
    feels like a scene straight out of a movie.
    I can't imagine anything more terrifying than being quite literally face to face with the risk of death.
    And our bodies react differently, some would just run for cover, run for an exit or just stand in fear and shock.
    We can't control what shock and adrenaline will do.
    I can't believe that some people inside the towers even survived.
    My thought of the total death toll that day was doubled than what was originally revealed.
    All those lives lost that day, no matter what they did, were still great people.
    Someone lost a friend, a brother and sister, a mother a father, a partner, a child.
    And not only should we remember those who were lost too soon, we must never forget those who willingly sacrificed themselves to save others. There were so many heroes that day, and they never wore capes, they were just people.
    Just normal people doing what was right.

      I get what you’re saying, because it seems completely counterintuitive to me, too. But I think because they didn’t want 10,000 evacuating with all of the debris falling down.

      They didn't want thousands evacuating at the same time yet what was the alternative? Everyone should have been ordered to evacuate immediately. All the ones that survived have one thing in common: they chose to leave and not stay put.

      very few knew that it was a big plane that it. some thought it was a bomb, most thought it was a small plane. a lot of people were scared, and were leaving (a lot of people were in the 78th floor)

      @Chris-ot9bk I get it. But usually, with any fire, you want to evacuate as quickly as possible, not stay put and take chances. And they were actually told to go back to their offices. It makes no sense to have told people that they were safe when it couldn't have been known right then if it was or not. As someone said, it is counterintuitive. I personally believe had they been told to evacuate, many lives would have been spared.

      @@lilialvarado9106 oh definitely, but that recording was an automated one that they set off if another tower was hurt in some way to avoid everybody on the street at once if not needed especially with falling debris some of which was on fire and people.
      Another documentary that shows what happened inside in some cases from testimonials of people that they called or etc. Apparently they didn’t know how to switch that message off so while they were on the phone to those that got through to the security office or whatever that Office was were told to leave and they were trying to figure out how to shut off the message when it was played for them by somebody who called and when they gave them, the opposite advice, put that phone up so they could hear themselves… they were trying to help people while also trying to get out of their own office. Radios we’re not working slashed turned to the wrong frequency which I’ve never understood Why. I think some had already gone up before they found out they had to change frequencies because of the spire being hit on top of WTC.

    I can’t bear to watch these anymore. I watch the videos of the towers going up in the late 60’s instead of them coming down. This has traumatized me for over 22 years !! There’s American before 9/11 and America after 9/11. It still feels unreal

    I was in a family trip there at that day, we were supposed to visit the twins buildings at the morning, but thanks to my cousin we rejected the visit because they wanted to eat a pizza for breakfast. Until now I still can't believe that that pizza saved us. That was the craziest day I've ever experienced during a trip.

    I still, to this day, remember waking up on a warm September morning. I couldn’t hear my family, so I went into the living room and saw my mom sitting, holding her hand over her mouth and my dad with his arm around her. I perched on the arm of the sofa and saw the news footage. I saw the building was on fire and reading the news “ticks” I think they’re called. I sat in disbelief. Then the second plane hit the second tower and my mouth flew open and stayed open. It was like someone just kicked the air out of me. I had tears in my eyes and had to remind myself to breathe. Such a tragic day. It’s like the world paused or at least went into very slow motion. 22 years later and it’s clear as day.

    This event is so tragically immense that every time you watch a documentary about it, a little more of its magnitude sinks in. Even after all these years, one still can't fully grasp or comprehend the entirety of the horror of that day.

    Ernest Armstead didn't lie to the dead, he gave comfort to someone who was dying - something that many people do.
