  9. I never like to pause the video, especially on a subject like this. But this was rough. The photos, the video, the faces of those angels among us, and knowing the inevitable about to unveil itself. I can't even comprehend how the FDNY family must feel.

  13. Why don't we tell the story how two planes could not cause three skyscrapers to collapse at free fall speed, only controlled explosives could have done this. Sad people died, even sadder it was a set up to start wars in the middle east. The US is the biggest world terrorist organization and kills civilians, even its own, for profit. This is just emotionally triggering propaganda to keep people defending a lie.

  18. 23:20 – "And it started out slow, 'boom.. boom.. boom.' Then it got quicker, where pretty soon it was just 'bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam,' coming down." 19:18 – Like the previous description in the North Tower, you can actually hear the bombs (i.e, successive "booms") going off one after the next when the South Tower goes. Gravity-induced building collapses do NOT make controlled demo sounds (i.e., booming sounds) when they fall, nor do pancaking floors. And despite first responders and the public still to this day incorrectly attributing the booming sounds to floors pancaking, the pancake collapse theory was thrown out almost two decades ago. The bombs/booms are why both towers came down at just a couple secs short of the time it would take for a ball to hit the ground if it were dropped from a WTC rooftop (e.g., 9.2 secs).

  21. 343 firefighters losing their lives in about 2 hours. What a high number. I still watch videos connected to 9/11 and still feel as shocked as i did the day it happened. I was 15 then and now im 36. I know for a fact that for as long as I'm alive and have access to videos about this tragic event that the shock and disgust will always be the same and will never fade.. Rip to everyone who died because of 9/11.

  23. so painful to watch. my dad was an EMT before becoming a volunteer firefighter where he lived in Washington State. i later served in the Army from 2005 – 2009, and i hold all First Responders in very high regard and give them my utmost respect. to those current First Responders as well as those who have fallen, i salute all of you. til we all regroup in the halls of Valhalla.

  26. 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. 💔🇺🇸💔

  32. Is it me or am I the only one to think . Of all the people with cameras or recording device . There only a handle full of videos or pictures of the planes hitting the towers . Also why didn’t they have any and all helicopters help out . Either by taking people of the roof or with ropes taking people from . windows. Yes I know all air traffic was grounded . Still it should have been tried .
