My uncle died during this as a firefighter and after the towers collapsed they were searching for survivors but didn’t find my uncle the only thing left of him was his firefighter helmet and I have it hanging up in my room

Thank you for this. I was one of the firefighters of Engine 79 on September11. I have seen this, but never had a copy. Almost 17 years later, still raw emotion. Rest easy, brothers, until we meet again...

RIP to my cousin Sammy Oitice...Ladder 4...Love the FDNY

We are still losing heroes because of the tragedy of 9/11/2001. Whether they died that day or years or decades later because of resulting illnesses, we remember and honor them always. America owes you, WE WILL NOT FORGET God Bless You All.

I cannot count how many documentarys I have watched for 9/11

I wave at every firetruck that passes, ever since 9/11. I am all the way from Québec, Canada. You run in when we run out. You are heroes, wherever you are. Thank you for your service❤

"The medical examiner told us that our son's body was intermingled with a female body. It looks either he was protecting her, or carrying her" That.. is the most interesting story, we never get to hear about, that we SHOULD be hearing about...

I remember this, was filmed by a good friend of mine, Paul Berriff, I was a former Lifeboat Crewman Paul had founded in the UK, at the time this was filmed I was serving in the British Forces, en-route to Cyprus, had no idea what events had taken place until we landed, shocked to the core was all I can say. Proud to have served along with the US 🇺🇲🇬🇧💪 Brothers in Arms

My father is a firefighter here in Canada, he’s seen a lot of shit that no one should ever have to see, I’m proud of him and all the other amazing first responders around the world. It’s funny, as I was watching this, he came into the room and told me he had to go because of a medical first responders call

Still haven't forgotten in 2020!

Who ever puts a thumb down for this video should be ashamed of yourself !!!

18 years later and I still tear up on 9/11. I will never forget. I watched as the 2nd plane hit, not believing what I was watching on tv. I kept telling myself it wasn't real, that I was dreaming. I watched as both towers collapsed, in total shock. I will never forget, my heart goes out to everyone who died that day. To the brave frist responders who never made it home. Never forget their sacrafice and bravery. To all who lost their lives that day, you will never be forgotten. God Bless America.

When that tower collapsed.... the sound.... the speed... everyone immediately started running.

I was stationed on the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy when this attack happened. We were on our way to do some sea quals for the airwing to get ready for our next cruise. I was cleaning the First class Petty Officer berthing and watching CNN. We were close enough to still get signal. I watched both towers fall. After the second tower fell, We had a ship wide muster at our respective shops. The CO came on the 1MC and told us what had happened. He told us that we were going to sit off the east coast for a while. We were there for about 40 days. We kept aircraft ready to launch. Our pilots were told to drop any aircraft that entered our airspace. While I cannot begin to understand the loss you witnessed being on scene. I am proud to have been serving with you from the ocean. I consider the first responder family my brothers and sisters. I tell officers as often as I can that we're on the same mission at different levels. Your fallen comrades memories will live on. I love you for your service brothers and sisters in uniform!!!

Firefighters are a special breed. HUGE RESPECT! My uncle was a commander in the fire department. He retired last year and for us he's a hero. Don't know how many lives he saved, but it must have been a lot. Thank you for your service you all!You are all heroes! We cannot thank you enough!

RIP Orio Palmer and all who we lost that day..

What a moving documentary. For almost 18 years, I’ve been in awe of these people, even though I’m from the opposite side of the world. The scale of what happened that day and the bravery which followed is still unfathomable to me.

21 years later, still heartbreaking. We will never forget

20 years later and this still breaks my heart 💔❤️ Thank you to all the men and women that helped that day and R.I.P to all who fell that day

“…but for many of them, this would be their last alarm…” those words hit hard

These frontline workers like Police, EMT, and Firefighters knew that they could loose there life at any moment but they still went into the building to help others. That is true heroism.

I'm from Dublin Ireland and I can still remember where I was on that day and what I was doing. I was 19 at the time and I will never forget that day.

I saw the list of Firefighters that they showed in the film near the beginning. The name was Patrick " Paddy " Brown one of the most decorated in the FDNY . As a Firefighter I looked at him as a Firefighters Firefighter. What a great loss, so many so fast

Rest in peace to all firefighters everywhere

RIP Michael Wholey PAPD, EoW: 9/11/01

Tommy dunn engine 240 im seeing this years laterl. I am one of the firefighters in the video. I was there with john winkler, Darren Jacobs, mike murry , pat Sullivan, myself and Lt. Auciello. if the buildings held up just a couple more seconds and none of us would be here. god bless all the brothers

The entire New York Fire Department were heroes that day, along with Police, and First Responders. I live in Phoenix Arizona and was standing in my living room watching live on television as the second aircraft hit the second tower. Thousands died, but our country came together, thousands became heroes that day and days after. September 11th 2001 will never be forgotten!

Every year around this time I watch documentaries because I genuinely never want to forget that day. I want my future children to know about this event even though they’ll never know what we experienced

I remember watching everything that day and after the collapse of both towers all you heard on the news was the chirping sounds from the device that the firefighters wear when one of them is down. Just knowing that the sound meant man down and that's all you could hear just hundreds of them going off over and over. Never forget

From Pittsburgh, PA in 2019 I still care, still appreciate and value the sacrifice of the people who laid it all on the line that day.

I’m from Australia I saw this on the news that day im was shocked I have respect for the nyfd they don’t stop with the calls all day See this All fire departments from New York I respect you

A few years ago, I was at a classic car museum in New South Wales, Australia. Among classic Ferraris, Porsches and Mercs, there was a single fire engine. I was confused as to why it was there. One of the people who worked there said it was one of the fire engines from 9/11. That was one of the only things I remembered from that experience. Absolutely incredible.

This is an incredibly moving tribute that I have never heard of or watched. On this 20th anniversary of our National Tragedy, I wonder if this is a wound that our country can never leave behind, perhaps never recover from. Thank you to all of the brave, selfless heroes that fought, and died that day, thinking only of others, not themselves

Incredible respect. These guys are the ultimate heroes. I have huge respect for every fire fighter

One of the best fdny 911 documentaries made I remember seeing this documentary as a child on vhs and lost it thanks for uploading so I can see it again

Much love & respect from all of us here in England 🇬🇧 x👍🇺🇸

My Grandpa as a Firefighter in Fort Worth Texas for 22 yrs. Firefighters will always have a special place in my heart. I remember this day like it was yesterday. Today is a day of remembrance. Here on 9-11-2020

With those 343 men of the FDNY, they lost hundreds of years of experience within the department there was probably guys that died on that day that had at least 40 years of experience

I knew I would ugly cry when I watched this. I needed some gratitude today. I got plenty from this! Thank you to our amazing firefighters and their families! ❤💔

So sorry for the loss of all these first responders; firefighters, police, port authority and others, including our military who went to war because of this senseless crime.

With every story and every fireman it was a war zone ! These men and women were on a battlefield . A spiritual and physical battlefield. Fighting to breathe . Fighting to save their brothers and sisters. I couldn't imagine wanting to bring family home, hoping to find them only to get a body months later... You're in my thoughts and prayers !!

Oh my god the 911 call from the firefighter stuck in the cab of the firetruck. The fear in his voice gave me chills. Man, that one hurt to hear 😞 I can't believe it's been almost 19 years ago

When I first watched 9/11 videos, I couldn't understand why all the firefighters were just standing around, watching the people jump to their death. I was angry. Today, I realize that there must have been so much confusion, fear, panic...Even though organization was urgent, how the heck do you get up there? Elevators not working, stairs blocked....you can only go up so far. The heat of it all must have been breath taking. The shock must have been parralizing. Trained to rescue people from fire yet not being able to get to them, must have been excruciatingly painful. The collaps of the towers, ending so many lives, is unbelievable. These men that did their best to save the victims, became victims themselves. And the ones who survived, were oblivious to the trauma that would haunt them from then on. So I would like to apoligize for the anger and I would like to thank them, though "thank you" doesn't feel like it's enough. You are always in my prayers.

2001 was so Innocent before 9/11 Rest In Peace everyone who died in those towers my dad who was running with the camera at 6:27 he survived that smoke kinda from getting inside a store.

Unbelievable how brave these first responders were that day. It's crazy how these guys went up those towers without question

19 years today! This still breaks my heart to this day. I was 7 when this devastating moment occurred. I still remember seeing this and thinking what was happening. Years on, my heart still goes out to our brothers and sisters in America. Thinking of you all ❤️

I am still dying from crying even though 20 years and months later.. I can’t imagine those people inside and those people jumping for hope, so sad 😭

15:08 He lost his father, but he has a thousand uncles. RIP the fallen. 🇬🇧♥️🇺🇸

As a Firefighter in Phila(Montco), My heart and prayers goes out to families of My fallen Brothers. In my house we shall honor ur lives by still responding.Rest easy bro!!

My heart aches everytime I watch a documentary about this terrible day in our history. I respect and admire all of these amazing heros of that day who gave their lives for the people trapped and alone in those buildings. Thank you to the wonderful love and caring ❤😢

This has been appearing in my KZfaq feed for awhile and I haven't been able to watch it until now. This was very powerful and incredibly moving. Almost 20 years later, please may we never forget!!

To Michael Lynch's broken hearted Dad: we all feel the loss but can't ever begin to come close to how you feel. I hope the commitment of the whole country to serving justice on the evil cowards who did this brings you some small measure of comfort.

the guy trying to attend as many funerals as possible is the nicest man ever. i hope he didn’t attend all 343 because that is so traumatising.

PTSD....don't let it win...talk of your experiences let yourself revisit your trauma until it no longer pains you..until you can live with it as an experience that enhances your life..PTSD nearly killed me. But I got better i was a firefighter...every year I light a candle to all I saw die...they are part of me but we live together and they made me a better person. Even after this tragedy the world will always move forward so should you.

Thank you for all our Service men and women do for our country in times of crisis. You are truly appreciated for your service. 😥🙏

My uncle was in tower two when the plane hit he was in the lobby, Before the plane hit everyone was trying to go down because they realized what happened to tower 1, But the port authority was telling everyone building 2 is secure and to go back to your office, If those people knew what had happened in tower 1, They would not have gone back up, But they did not know what was gonna happen, On 9:03, My uncle made it out of tower two, He was in the lobby when the plane hit, He speaks about walking out of tower 2 and looking outside to see the bodys of jumpers, He also talked about looking up and seeing people jump. It was a sad day. a lot of people were not a fortunate as my uncle, And we remember them,🥺

truly one of the most meaningful and intensely emotional documentaries I have seen about 9/11. Wonderfully done. Thank You.

It is 19 years today! We shall, never forget

I can’t believe that in a few Days, it will be a 18 years. It still affects us , sometimes like it was yesterday. God bless all the lives lost, injured, lost others, and firefighters. We will never forget

I was in elementary school when this happened and watched the 2nd plane hit the WTC on live tv. Many years later I'm now a Volunteer firefighter out of Maryland and on my Helmet I have a 343 Sticker on it and a Gone But Never forgotten Sticker. In memory of all the brothers and sister's who where lost on this tragic day. Thank you to all who put their life's on the line! they went in knowing they might not return to their families. You all maybe gone but your NEVER Forgotten!

In the UK, I remember this day so clear my mum shouting me to come & watch the news, we both sat & watched in horror at what was happening. Still so clear in my mind this & the day Princess Diana died stick out the most from my childhood. You fire fighters are true heroes thank you for your service & may everyone that lost their lives RIP you will never be forgotten for the heroes you are!

This looks so old but it feels as though it’s happened in really recent times

Its amazing he kept making this after September 11th, still a very sensitive subject in 2002

The worst part for me was the people falling heart wrenching they had no other option it’s so devastating even now almost 19 years later

5:38 that's just terrifying seeing remains of people on the street.

Respect and much love to you all from Ireland X

Still tears my heart out 18 years later. These men and women didn’t die that day trying to save thousands of innocent lives. They were all murdered. Thank you to the brave first responders that day. RIP to all of those who lost their lives

In floods of tears watching this. Rest in peace to those lives so cruelly taken. 💔

Thank you thank you Chief taking the opportunity to make this video you're in the brothers be safe and the 27th battalion be safe.

My father just retired from being a Paramedic/Fire-Firefighter after 29 1/2 years of service. It was a sigh of relief when he was done. You would never know if he would have to go one day to a structure fire and maybe never come home. One day, towards the end of his career he started crying out of fear of that very thing. That one day he would have to run into a burning building and have to save lives. He would do it but the thought scared him. He kept saying he was "to old" for this anymore. He would always talk about how when he was younger he would get the adrenaline highs of going on those calls, but when he got older and realized the danger and when he realized his body was getting older he was getting scared. I'm so proud of the so many lives he has saved in his many, many years of dedicated service. I know he has saved at least hundreds of lives.

Rest In Peace everyone I’m so glad I can learn about this through youtube.

Rip to my uncle William Henry ❤️ Rescue 1 stay safe FDNY rest well.

“Thank You” is not enough for those that risk everything daily, to serve and protect. Next month will be 20 years since this awful day. In some ways, it seems like yesterday. I will never forget the images of that day; planes crashing into buildings, people jumping from the towers, the towers collapsing. It’s still too much to take in.

Came for the firefighters stories, stayed for the nostalgic UK TV adverts

I remember that day when 9_11-01. I was a volunteer fireman and my thoughts go out to all the firefighters EMS and Police officers who lost their lives that day.

Manhattan dispatcher did a phenomenal job that day. He was clear and calm, while he must have been in intense mental agony

Thank you John for uploading this video! It is a testament to our country & all the hero's of New York! Be Safe!

God bless all the victims and heros that died on 9/11. My Grandfather was a firefighter so I definitely understand how much work they all put in from what I've heard from him and also seen🙏

I am deeply grateful to all of the firefighters and their families for everything you do.

My cousin Johnny was originally volunteering in Engine 96 with Ladder 54 but is now a fireman with Mamaroneck Fire Department Engine 37 and Ladder 19

This absolutely breaks my heart! God bless each and every fire company of the FDNY who suffered tremendous loss of their brothers. Who were there that day and witnessed the horror. Who miraculously survived being inside or in close proximity to the collapsed towers. God bless the families of all involved in these 9/11 tradedies. We will never forget!!

It’s only over 20 years ago feels like a lifetime

The New York accent is something I cherish as uniquely American. 🇺🇸

I have alot of respect to the American fire fighters. In 2020 Australia was burning and America sent a few men over unfortunately some never made it back. Thank you for your service

R.I.P to everybody in 9/11...

9-11-2001 was twenty years ago today. God bless all the victims and their families. God bless America and God bless our troops!

At 32:35, the firefighter is describing the documentary called "The miracle on stairway B." There's 2 different ones, the History channel has one and I think the other was done by BBC. Either one is very powerful and worth watching.

Never forget 9/11 343

So much love and respect, I can't imagine driving towards the towers looking up and thinking this is the end for me. Rest in peace to all that lost their lives ❤️✌🏻 from wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I was only in 1st grade 6 years old and even today I still get chills from seeing those news clips.

My father is a retired fire lieutenant from a department north of Boston Massachusetts. In my many many times of sitting around the firehouse kitchen with these men, I learned a great deal about how much these men care about people. I learned about life, if I ever needed advice they guided me in the right direction. Even though I had one dad I knew should something ever happened to him, I had many dads who would always take care of me and look out for me. Luckily I had the opportunity many times to ride on his engine company they had me in the gear like one of the guys. Many of these brave men who I have come to know and love have sadly passed away. Most kids at that age would not of gone to work with their dads and preferred playing video games or going to the mall. But it’s some of the best memories of my life and I do not regret any of it. If anything I miss it very very much.....

Rest In Peace to all fire fighters who died doing what they loved doing you will all be remembered for your bravery May you all rest in eternal peace Amen

This is very NY. Family. FDNY family...our earthly family. This NY. It gets done. Period.

Very moving, seems like it happened yesterday, but in reality it'll b 17 yrs in a couple of months. RIP to everyone lost that day, and 2 all the victims still dying today from the toxic smoke they breathed in while working on the pile! Never Forget 9-11😥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Thank you to the person who uploaded this!

Firefighters are heroes❤️ Thank you for all you guys do, and Rest In Peace to those who died saving lives on 9/11.🙏

Thanks for the upload John.

Thank you to Jon Stewart for battling with all his might to get the first responders, and the families of those who lost their lives from the towers and the effects of the dust from two towers coming down, what they deserved.

Thank you for all your hard work on Sept. 11, and all the months that followed. God bless you!

I will always love and respect firefighters . They are true heroes ! The fact that they went in that burning building omg ... so scary ! To help rescue those who were stuck 🥺❤️
