You mentioned not really being familiar with Flight 93. I recommend looking up the phone call between the passengers and Air Traffic Control. In it, they make the decision to take down the hijackers, and pray. You can hear the fighting after they say goodbye. It’s incredibly harrowing, but it does demonstrate how these were just normal people who became heroes when they needed to be.

8:45 The Flight 93 hijack was broadcast over radio as the pilots screamed for help, and the people on the plane by that time were all aware of the other attacks. There are several recorded phone calls from passengers on 93 leaving voicemails for their families before they attempted to stop the terrorists, knowing they were almost certainly dead.

It seems like yesterday I was at work and the phones stop ringing. I was working a call center . We started getting reports and everyone was surfing the news sites. I.T. turned off the firewall to let us look at the sites. We got an email that if anyone needed to leave, go ahead. School were being closed and people needed to get their kids. It was such a shocking event that haunted me for a while. The next day going home from work, I saw FBI , ATF and local PD raiding an apartment. It turned out that the hijackers lived 5 minutes away from my job and the authorizes were raiding the leaders apartment. Right next to the apartment builds was the Home Dept where they purchased the box cutters they used to hijack the plane with..

The passengers on Flight 93 were heroes--they gave their lives to stop another attack. I remember waking up and going to my computer as usual, to get to work (I write). I always checked the news first. NONE of the news sites came up--they all timed out. I realized something must have happened so went in the living room and turned on the TV just in time to see the second plane hit the second tower...I just stood there, staring, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. I didn't leave the TV for more than a few minutes through the rest of the day.

You should check out the story about the town of Gander in Canada if you want a little bright side to what was happening to all the commercial planes during that day.

Air Force One is the callsign or name of any plane used by the US president. Once the president steps on board a plane, that plane becomes Air Force One. The helicopter used by the president is called Marine One.

Twenty-two and a half years later, the footage from the fateful day never fails to make me cry and almost physically throw-up.

There is a movie about flight 93.

My mom’s childhood best friend was a flight attendant, and was in the air that day. She worked for American Airlines, and eventually her plane was grounded on the other side of the country and she was stuck there for like three weeks until she got clearance to go home. Obviously, the people in the planes, towers, the Pentagon, Shanksville, and their families were the most affected. But it’s important to not forget just how many other people were affected. Air traffic completely stopped for several days, and we still feel the affects to this day when we go through TSA.

I lost someone when the South Tower collapsed. It was a horrible day for my family and I couldn't get in touch with anyone in NY-- my hometown. I was living overseas and I couldn't return home for 9 days.

You need to watch the videos about Gander New Foundland, the tiny town of a few hundred took on the care of thousands of plane passengers who were of stranded for days due to the planes being grounded. They were the first airport with runways long enough for commercial planes coming across the Atlantic.

That morning was crazy. People talking carbombs in Chicago and a plans headed for the Sears tower. Didn't know what was true

I remember like yesterday...I was in college and shortly after seeing the attacks, we were made aware that Airforce One was at Barksdale Airforce Base here in Louisiana..literally a few miles from where I was located. It was a terrifying day.

You should react to the film "United 93" It's a reenactment of what happened on the plane.

I missed being in the South Tower by less than 12 hours. I was living in Indiana at the time, and had gone out to NY/NJ with a roommate and a friend to pick up one of our roommates that was in NJ, along with another friend in NJ who got stranded after a visit home. We did the whole touristy thing over the course of the weekend and tried to visit Windows On The World that Monday. We got turned away because it was jacket and tie and we were a bunch of grungy twenty somethings, so we made different plans that afternoon/evening with the intent to hit up the South Tower observation deck Tuesday morning before heading home. However, Monday night, I was hit with this wave of imminent danger. Like, I needed to run to the other side of the world or something. I have nearly lost my life before and had similar feelings, but nothing so intense. I told my friends/roommates we were leaving immediately and they started arguing with me. I was fortunate that I drove, and laid out the ultimatum that they were riding with me or finding their own way home. The ride home was very tense. When we all watched it unfold in our living room the next morning, the shocked silence was so deafening I couldn't help but notice them staring at me in silent bewilderment briefly before we all went back to processing everything. The second plane hit roughly where we would have been. I don't know if we would have made it out between the two planes striking TWC. Maybe is a very haunting word. I still have some survivor's guilt, and I wasn't even on site. My eyes water and my hands shake just from writing this. This was such a shared trauma, though, I feel that people more separated from this tragedy still have similar experiences to mine.

You should check out the story of Gander, Newfoundland, Canada on September 11th. There's a bunch of videos but a shorter one is titled "The tiny town that became a beacon of hope on 9/11" by 60 Minutes Australia. It's only like 15 minutes long but well done. There's also one called 9/11: Cleared for Chaos which is about Air Traffic Control in Gander. That one is longer but interesting as well. There is a movie called United 93 which is a based off what went down on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania (which is a nearby state to Washington D.C.). The one they mentioned where crew and passengers found out what was happening and fought back against those who had taken over the plane. Thanks for doing your reactions.

I was in senior year of high school in nyc at the time. I was in school early to use the internet in the library (before mobile data was useful). There was a window looking out over Jamaica Bay straight at downtown Manhattan and didn't see the first plane, but saw the second. I was telling the teachers what I saw but they wouldn't believe me, still trying to believe it was an accident and thinking I made it up.

I lived in Arlington, Texas, right underbthe take off/landing paths of the North/South runways. The endless line of aircraft landine one immediately after the next was crazy!!! They were so close together, and they made a line as far as I could see!!! Then, all of a sudden... no airplanes at all!!! That was very bizarre... there were always planes landing or taking off. It was like "white noise". When there was no air traffic noise, it was very unsettling!!

Great Reaction!! glad to see you!

Airforce One os literally the Whitehouse in the air. They can stay up there as long as they need to... it can be refueled while flying.

Here's what scares me: In 2015 the US government ordered 2 replacement Boeing 747 planes (747-8 models) for the 1990 models depicted in this video. Costing $5 billion, they were supposed to be ready in 2021. In 2024, they are "likely several years" from delivery. And we all know the tribulations of Boeing in the meantime. Does the company still even know how to build a plane? Just today the Wall Street Journal had a story with the headline, "Boeing’s Urgent Mission to Train Thousands of Rookies How to Build an Airplane". The thought of "rookies" building the Presidential planes is not comforting.

Hey man. If you can react to a video about flight 93 .... its insane. those brave men that sacrificed themseleves so no one else would get hurt is truly unbelievable. the phone calls they make to their loved ones is enough to bring a tough man to his knees

You should watch the movie "united 93" which is about flight 93 during 9/11.

Growing up, my mom always told us the story of being in school and the announcement coming over the intercom that JFK had been shot, how she would never forget that moment. I never really understood until the morning I was getting gas, on my way to work, and the dj broke into the broadcast to announce the first plane had it. I suddenly got it, never, ever will I forget a second of it

Watch "debris a 9/11 film" it worth the Watch. Probably can't react to it tho. At least not on KZfaq. It's just raw footage as it happened. Very striking but very sad. Still makes me tear up

So the question is where did I go on summer vacation that year, a month to the day before the events? If you gas that I was on top of the world trade center on August 11th you would have been correct

Never can tell what parts of the story are true and accurate. Lots of perspectives to look at about events we actually can confirm took place. Hope your allergy symptoms subside.

And after the attacks Queen Elizabeth had the band play the American national anthem I forgot what the ceremony is called that y'all do

9:22 "Bush was beared" Jesus Christ.

After 23 years we're still sticking with the story that flight 93 fought back?
