Native Jersey girl, my husband was there that morning and I was 7 months pregnant. I was lucky, he made it home. 22 years later I still cry my heart out, pain from my soul for all those lost, for the way life used to be. We lived 10 minutes from the GW Bridge. I dropped to my knees and cried that morning, I couldn't reach my husband, I truly thought I was going to have our baby alone. I finally heard from him at 3pm and I begged him to never go back to the city again. I think all of us can agree, life has never been the same for those of us that were here for that day... and it never will be. My son was born that November. Over the years, I've tried telling him about that day, but it doesn't seem to affect him (thank God). I suppose it's like learning about a past war in history class, you know it's terrible, but it doesn't have the emotional impact that it did on those who were there. 22 years tomorrow... and I still cry like the day it happened. God bless....

March 2023... Native New Yorker .. To this day.. almost 22 years later, this still hits me to the core of my very soul. To all the Departments involved in the Search Rescue/Recover Effort Thank You. To all the men, women and K-9 who put their lives on the line every day, in order to save others.. Thank You. *_NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN_* II

"We need to come together....." This gentleman is absolutely right. 22 years later, our country is so divided on so many fronts, most of which is rooted in pride & arrogance. I'm afraid it might take something far worse happening on our soil for this country to wake up. Lord have mercy.

And our heros are still passing from this devastating day....😢

22 years later and I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. No one who was alive that day will ever forget.

These firefighters will never be forgotten 😢

I force myself to watch videos and documentaries of the 9/11 events on a relatively frequent basis, so I don’t forget. I was 39 years old on that day, and even this many years afterwards, it isn’t uncommon to get emotional reliving the day. In 2001 I really had no appreciation for NYC culturally, but watching how the citizens responded changed all of my preconceived negative images. The bravery of the FDNY and NYPD is indescribable. They will forever be in my prayers.

I never knew about this contribution to the search effort from California. I am proud that our state could assist in the recovery efforts along side the NYFD. Very informative and moving. Thank you all for your heroism!

Still heartbreaking to this day to think about all the people who lost their lives that day. Families that lost their loved ones. Thank you to those who came to help. Your service showed not only bravery but compassion! God bless you all! 😢❤

When I saw the poor souls trapped above impact zone then some jumped I remember a couple held hands and jumped ,It struck terror into my heart and I was 3000 miles away living In Ireland. I Cannot even Imagine how those trapped felt, and Kevin Corrigan's voice mins before the tower fell. God Bless all the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks and God Bless America.

If anybody ever reads this, and you where part of any rescue or recovery or task to do with that entire tragedy, thank you. It scarred me for life, and i only saw it on the tv. To see it in person,and be there...i can only imagine

As an 8-year-old living in the Dominican Republic, I couldn't understand the magnitude of what had happened at the moment. Being so far away in another country, it felt as if the event was just a movie and not the reality of thousands, millions. As an adult, I've been reading, researching, and trying to understand what happened and why. This world is such a cruel place sometimes.

Never forgotten 🕊️ may all those lost rest in peace 💫 This is still as painful as the day it happened. The New York firefighters will always be legendary. Always 💞

Brings back a lot of emotion, hard for me to watch but very well done. Thank You RFD and CA TF-6 One of the proudest things I have done in my 35 years in the fire service was being a member of CA TF-6. Frank de Boer, Norco FD (Ret)

No one who worked "The Pile" was anything less than a hero sir... The only zeros were the two on the end of your one hundred per cent commitment... To the pilots who left their cockpit door open... Yes... A perfect gesture... 🇿🇦

This is one of the best documentaries I have seen on 9/11. Thank you for the upload. Thank you to all the heroes and all that assisted them be the best they can be. Peace and love to all the families.

I remember watching it on television in London England. My mother told me she lost 3 distance cousins on that day , 2 where first responders firemen and one a policeman. Since been told they were all of Irish ethic background like me I will never forget what happened and I always remember that day wherever I am . I am living in Korea now but I watched it on KZfaq the other day when they read the names of the people who died and I cried when they mentioned my cousins.

I broke my head and my heart trying to understand what would possibly motivate such evil and hatred of others. I've learnt not everything can be or should be understood. RIP all the brave souls who lost their lives on this day or as a result. It's still incomprehensible.

I will never forget that horrific day. As a 15 year old at the time it was hard to comprehend that something like this could happen on US soil. Still hard to comprehend the magnitude of that day and all the loss of life. May we never forget them 🪽❤️🙏🏻

The work that went into designing and constructing those towers is a wonder of the engineering and construction worlds. To think they each only took ten seconds to be completely destroyed is hard to get one’s mind around. And afterwards, many of the original iron workers came to help with the staggering job of cleanup. I cried and cried when it was announced in the following days that 343 firefighters, 23 NYPD officers , 37 Port Authority officers, and 8 paramedics had been lost, all while trying to save the lives of others. The thought of it still brings tears to my eyes 22 years later. May they all Rest in Eternal Peace. 🙏🙏🙏

The fact that they talk about mental health being really bad for the fire fighters bc of the stuff they saw makes me feel so bad. I’m sure if I ever died in a horrible way my soul would wait for someone to find me, these people are angels for getting these bodies and laying them to rest.

I watched the 2nd plane hit the South Tower -- I was in 9th grade Algebra 1A. 😔 I remember seeing all of those people in the North Tower hanging out the windows waving tablecloths, clothes, etc begging & pleading for help that would never come (that couldn't come).. & watching people jump was horrific & absolutely broke my heart. 💔 I've always noticed that the people in the North Tower that were hanging out of the windows were there for a while, but you don't see them anymore right before the building collapses, like at 5:36. When I was younger I didn't get it, but now I do... They weren't there because they'd either jumped (or fell) or succumbed to the smoke/fire before the building came down. That part has always bothered me the most for some reason..?? I still to this day feel so sorry for them, that they had no choice but to die.

My heart still breaks for my American neighbours at this time every year This is a great, heartfelt documentary...😢❤

The most missed are those loved ones especially those that were never found and don't have a form of closure my hearts with all those people today😢❤

The quote about dogs is something. Mans best friend. ❤

Real Heroes never be forgotten Rest in peace

A side of 9-11 that is the "Rest of the Story" that most of us never see, hear, or understand. Thankyou for including us in this story of deep and dedicated service and telling it so throughly, sensitively, and honestly.

For those that are too young to know or for those that may have forgot! They used to light up a huge red heart in the lights of the building when people got engaged! I was 20 and just kinda liked seeing it out of nowhere 😆 GOD BLESS EVERYBODY

I was visiting New York 5 years before this happened, on holiday with my father. We were on the roof of the building that was open to the public, so I know how high it was. I feel sick when I look at it or think about it to this day. Poor people, had no chance to escape. God bless 💖💖💖

I'm so moved by the kindness, skills & willingness to sacrifice the first responders show. NY, Ca & all over the world, they are deserving of love & respect. May they be protected.

Thank you to each and every one of you. I am a Londoner and I remember this day and the following days acutely. It was one of the most awful days in my living memory. My love and thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones. Today is September 13th 2023 and I am yet to go and visit the memorial. I prayer that we never forget this tragedy, but from observations it would appear that we have 💔🌹❤

“Where Were You When The World Stop Turning On That September Day?” I listen to this song every anniversary, and even in different parts of the year and I cry every time. R.I.P to the victims and to those who died on 9/11

What a fine tribute you put together Tim! Not leaving a single person out...paying homage to all. Excellent heartfelt work of art and history!

Well, that was beautiful. I've spent almost two hours in tears or choking back tears. Now I have a massive headache and I'm going to take some Tylenol. God Bless these precious men and their families. God Bless the survivors and those that still mourn. God Bless all who fell. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I was born about 2-3 weeks before 9/11. I genuinely don’t know the world without this, I couldn’t even begin to imagine the plight of the victims and their families. I hope all those lost have found their peace.

I was eleven years old then.. We dient have tv at home, only a radio. We heard of this news kn a radio.. Now when i watch this in my phone, so much of time has passed and i feel painfully sad to think of all those people who were on the plane and in the building, in panic. I sincerely pray for peace on this Earth.

NEVER FORGOTTEN, every precious person that lost their lives, gave their lives, and have had to live without their loved ones, those who gave their lives to avenge we will NEVER forget. ETERNALLY GRATEFUL to all those who put their lives on the line to help our fellow man. You are ALL the TRUE heroes . Real Heroes do NOT wear capes, they wear badges, they wear wedding bands, they carry their children, they serve others in the skies, they work in hospitals, drive EMS trucks, ambulances, they are those who pray and hold the hands of those hurting and lost, even to the furry feet that walk in debris to try to find that one precious person still missing. Those who enlisted to avenge the lives stolen in a act of cowardice by absolute demonic, evil 'people' You All are the heroes. The faces in this documentary. This is what a hero looks like.

❤❤I love Riverside 😊...my dad worked for the water department for the public utilities..."Frenchy"!! And ❤I am a very lucky girl to have such a wonderful country and love my city... proud to say that that I know Riverside Fire department is one of the best in the world...thank you for your service...and God bless you all...❤😊

When I was a kid, I saw the WTC and I couldn’t even see the top of the buildings that day. Unbelievable. RIP to the lives lost.

I’ll never, ever forget that day ! My children had gone to school, my youngest was 11 years oldest 26. It was like our world stopped for along time. My son till this day will not fly , and he is 34 now. So this really affected him.

So hard to work next to the memorial. It brings alot of hard emotions.

As a born and raised NY’er..I appreciated this video. I saw those towers a lot when I was growing up. I’ve never seen a documentary like this showing the view from the other side. Outsiders going to NY to help and the things they saw and went through. Thank you 🙏🏼

Every year I watched 9.11 videos. I was in military at the time and just an immigrant, and truly truly didnt understand the magnitude of that day.....till after and years later...and till I was deployed 1 month later. 😢 Thank you heroes and RIP to those innocent souls. May we never forget .😢❤

It's November, 2022, Even years later it's still painful. All the lives lost, the pain, this caused so many people, I really hope the people of tragedy, have gained strength to heal. All the people who stayed, and continued giving all they could, in the aftermath. What real Men and Women Love from Australia. Blessings to you all

This was a beautiful piece.❤ Thank you for making it. I have a whole new perspective of our first responders and search and rescue. God bless them all, and thank you for your sacrifices. 9/11, never forget.....❤

I will never forget that day. Thats the day the world changed forever.

She was obviously wealthy with an incredibly generous heart God Bless her.

The way this shook us all in tge USA. Things never been the same since this horrific tragedy.

Very beautiful may they rest in peace and never be forgotten

Excellent documentary, thank you for sharing!

THANK YOU TO ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND HELP

When those towers were being built I bet they NEVER imagined that less than 40 yrs later what awaited them ! Rip to All angels that are now in heaven !💞🙏🏼💞

😢Gone...but not forgotten.🙏🌹🇨🇦

Thank you to all those fire fighters that list there lives may they rest in peace 🙏

Thank you all for sharing your stories. That was a touching tribute to everyone. I learned some things that I never heard before about this terrible tragedy.

Thank you so much for sharing this historic film. I'm in AZ and was honored to meet an NYPD firefighter who had been there. God bless and I thank you ❤❤❤firefighters

Ive seen countless documentaries and photos from 9/11 bur not this one.. and i have to say as much as I tried not to cry I did. One to remember. Thank you to all.

On September 11, 2001 I was at the time working in a warehouse distribution center in Richmond Virginia, and I was heading to the break room to take my break when all of a sudden, I heard other employees in the break room yell, "Oh my god!!" , or "Oh no!!" and so as I walked in the door of the break room, I finally saw with my own eyes as it happened on TV morning news the second plane hit the second tower. I was like OMG!!!! And I sat down in one of the chairs that was available, because most of the employees were all in the break room watching this as it happens. We were all so devistated at what we saw! One employee spoke up and said, I bet it's Terrorists! He said America as we know it and as it happens is being attacked! All of us were so devistated! Our hearts went out to the loved ones loss that day! Some of us had tears in our eyes upon watching it as it happened on TV that day. After I went back to work, I couldn't get it out of my head of what I actually witnessed on TV news that morning! It took me a long time to finally get over it. Even to this day, my heart still goes out to those who lost their loved ones. 😥❤❤ 🙏🙏 But on that day of my workplace, we were all in shock! Why in the world that preacher would say that people were angry at God?? 😳 No, no, no, no, no!!! God had nothing to do with it! There's evil people who also live in the world and the enemy which is Satan influences people to do evil work! I know this because I really stury my bible twice a day, every day and I attend church often as I can and I have been a Christian since 2006! That's 18 years! God would NOT cause such things to happen! Since the very begining of time and creation, Satan has been creating chaos ever since he fell from heaven and 1/3 of the angels went with him and as a result they are considered demons! Satan influences people to do evil things!! Not God! God is a loving, merciful, kind God! And Jesus did say in his word; “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). As we remain in Him, we will have our peace no matter what troubles come our way. Believe that He is with us through trials and sorrows and evil in this world--->The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you (Psalm 9:9-10). He is there with us! But people may have already asked the question; "Where was God in all this?" On September 11, 2001, God was exactly where He always is - in Heaven in total control of everything that happens in the universe. Why, then, would a good and loving God allow such a tragedy to happen? This is a more difficult question to answer. First, we must remember, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:9). It is impossible for finite human beings to understand the ways of an infinite God (Romans 11:33-35). Second, we must realize that God is not responsible for the wicked acts of evil men. The Bible tells us that humanity is desperately wicked and sinful (Romans 3:10-18, 23). God allows human beings to commit sin for His own reasons and to fulfill His own purposes. Sometimes we think we understand why God is doing something, only to find out later that it was for a different purpose than we originally thought. God looks at things from an eternal perspective. We look at things from an earthly perspective. Why did God put man on earth, knowing that Adam and Eve would sin and therefore bring evil, death, and suffering on all mankind, because Satan as a serpent tempted Eve? As a result from the temptation of Satan, man went for it and that is how sin came into being! And like I said, the enemy (Satan) works by influencing others to attack others and harm them, maybe even death! Like the 9/11 attacks! Satan was in the midst of it all! Believe it or NOT! We cannot see him in action with our physical eyes, but only those who are "spiritually matured" is able to see him in action! At the time of September 11, 2001 attacks I wasn't a Christian then, so at the time I honestly was shocked about the attacks! Now I'm a christian and have been since 2006! I no longer get shocked anymore of what happens or goes on in the world! In other words, I am no longer surprised about what happens in the world because I know who is behind it all and who is causing it all! So, please don't blame God for the evil events that goes on in the world! He had nothing to do with it! Nothing at all, but he was there in the midst of it all and having mercy on people! When thinking of September 11, we tend to forget the thousands of miracles that occurred on that day. Hundreds of people were able to flee the buildings just in the nick of time. A small handful of firemen and one civilian survived in a tiny space in a stairwell as the one of the towers collapsed around them. The passengers on Flight 93 defeating the terrorists was a miracle in and of itself. Yes, September 11 was a terrible day. Sin reared its ugly head and caused great devastation. However, God is still in control. His sovereignty is never to be doubted. Could God have prevented what happened on September 11? Of course He could, but He chose to allow the events to unfold exactly as they did. He prevented that day from being as bad as it could have been. Since September 11, how many lives have been changed for the better? How many people have placed their faith in Christ for salvation as a result of what happened? The words of Romans 8:28 should always be in our minds when we think of 9-11, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, and are called according to His purpose.” ❤❤😟

It's still breaking my heart watching this over and over again 😢

God bless to those that responded to the call of duty to help and serve. I especially felt appreciated to see Dogs were very helpful with the recovery. Truly amazing. I did see these 9/11 images as a 20 year old and currently attending College at the time and it just brings so many sad memories. My deep condolences to those families that lost loved one and very proud of our local teams that helped with the recovery. God bless you all!! ❤❤❤🙏

The planes were going approximately 535 MILES AN HOUR when they struck?!?!! 😭😭 Lord Jesus that is terrifying!! Those poor helpless souls 😢

Those 2 buildings always blow my mind. So Iconic of New York now the saddest memory.

My heart goes out to the families that lost a love one. I was in Astoria New york, when this tragedy happened. My mind reached to my brother that worked at Met life. When I talked to him on the phone he was working that day in New Jersey. A tragedy that will never be forgotten. May all of them rest in peace 🙏♥️😪

The love and respect these guys have for their New York brothers and sisters is heart warming and heart breaking ❤

On my way home from vacation, my neighbour came out and said, turn on the news. I asked why but he went back inside. I turned on the news and saw the first tower on fire, the second plane hit the next tower, and the buildings fell. I was frozen. I couldn't stop watching and I kept repeating, this is the end of the world. It's happening today. I live in Paris France. I know a lot of things happen in the world that are horrible, but this event broke my heart.

At 51:45 So many orbs!!😮 I lived through it that morning. Every year I go through the emotions of that day 😢

Im viewing the history today 22 yrs on from it still feeling a shock and terrible sadness of watching these videos created for history purposes and for remembrance of the deceased loved ones lost there too

From Northern Ireland, UK. I will never forget. It still hurts to watch things like this and I cry from the depths of my soul for those lost and for those who helped with rescue. Thank you for your service🇬🇧🇺🇲

So heartbreaking ❤😢 thank you for your service ❤️👏🏻👏🏻 #HEROES 💯❤️

even today this makes me cry the dignity they showed the body can’t be put into words in todays world with so much hate and disrespect you pray an event like this won’t happen again i’m just so thankful for all those who worked endless hours searching and the amazing dogs and their handlers

This documentary was truly heartfelt The respect I give these firefighters is unmeasurable. Thank-You to the California federal crew for assisting our city, and our firefighters.Bravo guys, very good to see your operation, very organized, and impressive. We shall never forget! 😢

RIP to the fallen victims 😢❤️🙏

This team was from my hometown Riverside California one of the best search and Rescue team in the Us

Love from The Uk We saw this in horror on our TVs So many brave people that day ❤

What a great documentary. Thank you.

We must never forget...

Well done Riverside!!! Thank you. Thank you NYPD and the NYFD...God bless you and thank you too.

Going to that memorial is a whole different vibe. You're gonna feel everything. The pain, the sadness, the confusion, the terror..I was legit drained when I left. It was so very sad I can only imagine how the people felt who were actually there and experienced the whole tragedy.

They saw things that day the human eye is not supposed to see, unless you are trained in certain fields. The human eye is not meant to see scattered body parts. Or stand & watch ppl jumping off a 100 story building to their death & see human beings hit the ground and become nothing more than red liquid, chucks. I can't imagine the nightmares or flashbacks these ppl have.

Thank you all for what you do EVERYDAY! God Bless

This is a day I will never forget. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I mean everyone.

Salute too all who where involved in the search efforts and salute to all who were directly effected from th tragedy that transpired on this beautiful day that turned into absolute mayham none of yall will ever be forgotten. God bless and everyone try your best to love one another because tomorrow is not promised to Noone we love you New York

This video is so informative and gripping, thank you all involved

A friends son who lives in Colorado went to NY to help with recovery, I hope he’s ok and without any major health complications related to his efforts. My friend passed away and I’m unable to reach his son, so I just pray that he is ok. The 9/11 attacks were so devastating.

Why they used that music in the beginning I have no idea but the rest of it is absolutely superb, certainly one of the best 9/11 documentaries to date

That Was a very touchy documentary. A very different style and approach from most other 9/11 docs. It changed something in me. It Was much more Real to me what it Was like to work in the recovery of victims and removal of debri in the following nine months. Visualizing and going through all the different operations and taskforces Working on “the pile” after the colapse of the Twin Towers and the emotions and challenges and resolutions that faced those Comming from outside New York and why we must never forget that day and those who died and those who suffered and still do as a consequence of that days events. Well done

What an excellent outstanding documentary.

My son was born in 2006, since he was little he has said ‘I remember that day, I tried to get out’. He gets emotional, he really does remember. He says he was an older man who just arrived at work. I often wonder if I have seen ‘him’ in all the missing posters. I was in my English class when the teacher turned on the news, we all just sat and watched all day. That afternoon I left school and turned on my phone when I had a voicemail pop up, so naturally I listened. It was a frantic woman who said ‘just wanted to let you know I made it out’. I so wish I could have called her back and let her know she had the wrong number, but back then it wasn’t possible. I grew up in Minnesota, knew no one in New York or anyone affected. But that day I was touched, I have such empathy and compassion for everyone who had loved ones affected. Even the random voicemail still sends shivers down my spine.

The music during the attacks is very inappropriate

A sign of strength is admitting it was just too much to process. Forgive self for being human, to be able to then release it, and let it go. God isn't running interfeence - this human experience is what we are here for, for spiritual growth. The Divine operates only in forgiveness and unconditional love, it spurns all else. You do your best, that is all you are asked to do. You choose the burdens you wish to carry, take the best of moments with you, and let all the rest go. No one says you have to carry it - it is our call. So very proud of The Riverside Task 6 and all its affilates, including the S & R Dogs. I live 45 min. away from Riverside, in Palm Springs, CA. Thank you for all you gave in service to NYC, and their people in a dire time of need. 🙏❤💫💥🌱🌍

I can't believe it is nearly 22 years since it happened on sept 11 2001 how the time goes it feels like yesterday

God Bless Blanche. The angel of CATF6.

When I tried to call my Cousins in New York that Morning to see if my Cousin, who was a Port Authority Officer, was safe I could not get through on the phones. A message came on telling us that there was a Tornado in New York and all lines were down. Eventually, the lines just went dead. My Cousin went back into the City to try and help, He was killed in Tower 2 when it went down. They never found anything to bury.

Thank you Riverside! Never forget!

I'm Canadian and will never ever forget seeing this unfold live on tv-- can only say God -- or whatever you believe in-- Bless America.

I think about this day often. Wish it never happened!! All those people lost their lives for no reason!!!

I always feel really sorry for the families that lost loved ones on those planes. Not just flight 93 but the others, no one talks about them.

So good to hear the prospective of first responders outside of New York. I applaud the respect you all gave the New York Firefighters. Bravo!!!

I miss the view from my apt and the feel of old NYC I worked a overnight on a fashion shoot on the Lower east side took the train to south ferry at 7 am but the stop was closed for one reason or another and i got off in the underground mall at courtland if i had worked a couple of hours later i would be smack right in the middle of it random luck of the draw i watch these videos every year and it’s always a punch in the gut

Bring me back emotions sadness just to imagine ppl scary crying inside of the world center my god i do feel the pain rest in peace for all the people 😭thank you riverside team for everything you guys did not thinking twice to go having family you guys went over to help another ppl im so pround of my riverside city
