The love that you and your wife have for your children is palpable. Very moving.
the media is the only thing in 'merica that divides us.
You really should show the kids 911 videos because I think they’re old enough and they should really see what horrible people like Osamba bin Laden could do to the United States and so many people died and countless more from dust and debris.
Quote from famous children's TV host, Fred Rogers: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
As tragic as this event was it shows the American people at their best. We can be divided at times but always available to save lives and help each other. Same thing through. Hurricanes, floods and tornadoes. God Bless America!❤️🤍💙. By the way you are wonderful parents by teaching them compassion and caring. They are beautiful kids.❣️
Its sad it takes a tragedy for us to come together.But Thank God We Did.
Narrated By Tom Hanks
Have you seen the 9/11 story of Gander
3 buildings in New York fell, WTC 1,2 and 7. 7 was several blocks away and not a direct target, with wording of them "pulling it" when talking about the building; a term used in demolition for razing a building, this is a rather odd and specific term to use. After the two planes collapsed three towers on two separate footprints, a third plane is said to have struck the Pentagon in the same suite series where the disappearance of 2.3 trillion dollars was being investigated, and had been for several months. However the damage left behind was substantially less than a 757 would have left behind, and a conspicuous lack of debris identifying it as such, with most of the cameras not facing the point of impact for whichever reason. The last plane was supposedly intentionally crashed in Pennsylvania by passengers, however corroborating evidence indicates it was shot down before it could have been crashed by the passengers, with NTSB transponder information agreeing with this assessment.
Please watch this music video of remembering 9/11: Darryl Worley – Have You Forgotten? Mr.& Mrs. Graham, watching both of your faces as you see this video and also watching your son and daughter’s eyes and facial expressions, there was shock and sadness. THEN, seeing their smiles when so many of our Americans with their many boats came to help their fellow Americans. To all four of you, Thank you.
I was in photography class; my second class of the morning, sophomore year of high school. Remember that whole day. Thanks for watching this!
I was in Japan when 9/11 happened, so watching it unfold from the other side of the world was even more surreal than it would have been if I had been watching at home in the U.S.
But I didn't know about the boatlift until years later, when I started seeing reaction videos of it on YouTube.
I haven't talked about this. My wife thinks I should. I carry around this hate because I was there. I'm sorry…. I'm 43 now with a rare cancer. I guess I will carry that hate to my grave. There is no forgiveness for what happened. None! I was 20 when it happened. I still suffer PTSD from it.
I woke up for college and my gf's mom had it on the tele. We went to class and it was all over, class was basically nothing that day. Fueling was skyrocketed was 5+ a gallon and back then it nutty.
I get so emotional every time I see videos about 9/11. My dad is a paramedic and was there that day. I wasn’t born until 01/2002 but I feel very blessed that I am able to have my dad in my life as I know there are many others who were never able to meet their fathers. My dad actually had a friend who was also a first responder pass away in the building. His wife worked in one of the towers and he went in to get her fearing she may have been in there but she had already made it out.
Hey man, any normal person will totally understand what you were saying
To answer your son’s question. There were 4 planes hijacked on 9/11. 2 planes crashed into the World Trade Center, 1 crashed into the Pentagon, and the 4th plane (if I understand correctly) was supposed to hit the White House where the president lives. The 4th plane had passengers aboard who called family members to say goodbye and their family members told them that America was under attack. There were men on the 4th plane who forced their way into the cockpit and forced the plane to crash in the middle of an empty field in Pennsylvania.
When the worst of humanity brings out the very best of humanity.
aw man this video right here always gets me
I had just dropped off my 7 year old son at school, went back home, turned on the news, and I couldn't understand what the special new report was about. The reporter was in NYC and behind her in the far background was the Twin Towers and one of them had a huge plume of smoke, i was instantly alarmed because it was a huge skyscraper and all the people were in their offices. When there's a fire in a multi-story building, the elevators dont work. So the thousands of people at the top of that building had to go down 100+ flights of stairs. My heart sank because how could they ever get all the people out. Then I saw the second explosion… I knew instantly people would be trapped with no way to get out of the building. 💔
I live in New Jersey, across the river from downtown NYC, about 4 miles across the river. That day will be with me for the rest of my life. I still to this day get chills when I see these types of videos. Thank you for the way you and your family showed respect.
They even have a video of the people making phone calls from the planes and the buildings saying good bye to there loved ones because they knew they were ..ya know…so sad!
I had two friends there one a policeman the other a fireman. Both made itbthrough but over 6k lost their lives. I cant watch this without getting weepy.
This family makes the best crackers I've ever eaten.
There's also a great video of the service dogs who were brought in. There are so many videos of individual heroes from that day. One I remember was a Boston College grad: the man in the red bandana.
It may be too mature of content for your kids, but I would highly recommend Mr. Ballen's retelling of 9/11 from a survivor's perspective. Really puts the events into a relateable first person experience.
I'm not cryin, you're cryin! 🥺 OMG, will never forget that day.
Thank you for teaching your children about this. 🇺🇸
I was just miles away working on an ambulance. Lost a co worker FF on the 42 floor of tower 1…friends have cancer from that day. Thank you for keeping their memory alive!!
I was 17 years old on 911 11th grade in high school after the attack the skies were completely quiet 🤫 for a week.
The picture of the black lady vovered in ash, ctying into hand at end of the video, died last year cause of 911 ash she inhaled
LOVE THAT YOUR WIFE IS WEARING A UTAH UTES HOODIE!!! I LIVE IN UTAH & THEY'RE MY FAVORITE COLLEGE TEAM!
Your children are beautiful. Y'all watched the video …i watched y'all. Made me cry to watch it through your eyes. I'm 65… That day is still SO BIG for us and we're in Texas but it was consuming for everyone. Traditionally competitors with New Yorkers for state pride. We wore NYFD and NYPD and I ❤️NY shirts a long time. 🥺
Love the Utes representation
i would recommend you guys to watch the video 9/11: As Events Unfold . it shows all the attacks involved
Americas own little Dunkirk evacuation. Like we saw in the second world war also in this situation, civilian boaters merchant, marine, or’s came to the rescue when the country asked
Please do the Oklahoma City incident thats why honestly in my opinion is why they dug through the rubble for survivers
Great reaction and share! Fantastic parenting to share this with your kids. I’ll never forget that day. #neverforget
They attacked New York, back then, we knew exactly what would happen next. We're a people that survives, those people in New York that died: in the middle of Texas after an all night shift I knew this means war.
There were actually 4 planes hijacked that day. The two in New Your, one that hit The Pentagon and one that was believed to be headed to The White House. Passengers aboard that plane found out about the attacks and knew their plane was going to be used. Instead of allowing that to happen, a group of passengers fought the hijackers. That plane crashed in an open field In Pennsylvania, everyone aboard that plane perished. But it failed to take out any other lives. Men left voicemails for loved ones explaining what was happening on their plane and that they planned to fight back. They knew they would not survive and didn’t want others on the ground to be taken out.
Even those of us in the US, most never knew until this mini documentary, myself included.
Actually besides the two tall towers there were five more buildings in the Trade Center complex. They were also destroyed and I think two of them also collapsed.
