Let me be very clear with the ppl that have an issue with this reaction…. 1. I’m well aware of the issue at hand when this happened. 2. This reaction is not being disrespectful to anybody smh…. The fact I even have to address this with some ppl is wild!

I was there! Survivor and first responder. Tower 1 fell on top of my office. No need to have “Never Forget” printed cuz I never will. I remember finally making it to my mother full of dust, ash, soot and she dropped to her knees hysterically crying cuz there was no way to let her know I was alive until then. I must’ve hugged my son and mother for an hour str8. I don’t have PTSD or anything but I haven’t been to the site ever since recovering the last remains we were able. Absolutely beautiful song!!! All Americans should listen to Where Were U and Red, White & Blue every year.

I remember very well. I was getting ready for work as a R.N. in a Recovery Room. My husband called me to the t.v. I started crying. I call work. I was instructed to come in. We were not supposed to mention it to our patients. My first patient was a elderly black man. His first words were I'll go! I'll fight. I held his hand as tears ran down my face. One of our O.R. Nurses lost her sister in the Pentagon. Great pick and reaction!

He captured so much of what people were feeling ❤

I was a Paramedic at the time driving home from a very long and hard 24 hour shift. I heard it over the radio. Sadly, I think most Americans have forgotten how we felt that day.

He was so struck by recognizing Vince Gill that he talked all through the introduction which might have clued him in on what the song was about.

This song was almost immediately placed into the US Congressional Record as a national treasure...For capturing the very heartbeat of America at the time... Thank You Hatley Howard for pointing out my error on this post. Makes quite a bit of difference.

I was a junior in high school, and although I was scared, the way people even strangers supported each other was so unbelievably comforting and eased those nerves. I miss how our country united after that day. Somewhere in between, we lost our unity, we are more divided and the hate is spewing wherever you look. It breaks my heart 🥺 Hopefully, we will get back there!

This song makes me cry every time I hear it. It takes me back to that day ❤️

I remember that day like it was yesterday. Still makes me emotional

Best song ever! I cried like a baby...still so. Called everyone told them I love them.

I was on the way home from a brief stay in hospital (rough miscarriage). Had to drive myself, with husband at home with our kids. I remember pulling over, putting emergency lights on, and crying my heart out. Hubby had kept the kids from watching, but they found out at school. The double shock messed with us all - two uncles were called in to assist from several states away, one barely missed being crushed. Alan captured the hard-to-believe situation perfectly. This song was on *every* radio station for months!

I was 19 and my mom woke me. We began calling my dad immediately he was in NY thank God he was okay. Then we went to our church and just prayed for our brothers and sisters. I will never forget.....

Anything about 9-11 still brings me to tears!!😥😥😥😥

Alan Jackson is on my Mount Rushmore of favorite artists. He was my first favorite since about the age of 4, in the mid 90's.. Huge catalog of great songs.

911 this is the absolute best tribute song and Alan was spot on.

Just had to listen to this today. It doesn't matter that it's been 22 years i still remember where i was that day

Ill never forget that day , where I was and what was going on around us

This song makes me cry. Not only does it bring up the memory of 9/11 but it also reminds me of how American's used to love each other and it's just not like that anymore.

Thank you for the reaction! I've always loved AJ ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I had taken the kids to school and was heading to class when it came on the radio. I stopped and had to go watch the news. There was no class at college that day. I remember being shocked and crying. Alan is a living legend. A amazing country star

I was a high school teacher on 9/11, I did have classes of innocent children who I had to explain, as best I could, what was going on. I had no words to explain what they were hearing and seeing. It was all I could do to hold it together in front of the kids, and not to show my fear of what the possibilities could be. Even to this day, this song brings me to tears.

That was a mandolin. I remember like it was yesterday I was in the grocery store when the second plane hit we left the store and went and picked up our daughter who was in kindergarten at the time took her home and the whole family spent time together and prayed for everyone who was effected by sept 11th.

I couldn't cry when it happened. I held it in until I heard this song the first time, then I started bawling and couldn't stop. I still cry every time i hear it.

I remember my cousin had served and got called up and had to go help in New York. It still upsets me and causes tears. Such a moving song.

i remember watching this live. I was a sobbing mess by the end.

Just think of how all of us were pissed off and how Many of us joined the military as kid’s basically to go fight for our country and defend it

I knew before watching without seeing the thumbnail you were gonna like it when he mentioned I Love Lucy!

I was almost asleep,heard this sat up in bed and bawled like a baby.

I was asleep because I worked the night before. I woke up to hear the news.

I remember clearly. I was working in the pharmacy listening to the radio when the first plane hit, we tried understanding what had happened, when the second one hit, we knew we were under attack. My daughter was in high school, which was next to a federal building, they evacuated her school, I was insane until she called me from our house letting me know she was safe. I can feel the panic when I think about it.

Yeah i remember that day i was getting ready for work and a friend called and said turn on the TV I think a plane crashed into the World Trade Center, and I turned on Good Morning America and was just shocked, and then i saw the second plane hit the other tower and my heart dropped, at that point you know this isn't an accident, and then hearing about the plane crashing into the Pentagon and the the passengers who gave up their lives to help crash the fourth plane they were on to save countless others lives, God Bless

I was a junior in high school. Went into my humanities class and my teacher had the tv on and through fuzzy reception we watched the 2nd plane hit. Every class after that, we were all glued to the tv. I also remember that my grandparents made me stop and get gas on my way home, and the panic had already started.

You should listen/watch Alan Jackson's his video "Remember When". It's very touching with his wife and children in the video. Also, "Drive" about being a kid and your dad teaching you to drive.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I pray it never happens again.

I know every word to all those reruns and still watch that show! Best show ever was!❤️❤️🎈❤️

You should watch the video version too it makes it even more moving.Also his video for Chatahootchie.

I Remember I was working in a butcher shop/meat house (no cell phone) and one our coworkers went out for a smoke break and when he came back in he told us what he hear on his car radio. Our boss would not less us stop working for another hour or so. When we did I heard flight 11 was one of the planes. My father flew on that flight all the time. Took me another couple hours b4 I got a hold of my mom and he said he was NOT on the flight, thank god!!!

Couldn't sleep after.. wrote this song from the depths of his being. Many songwriters, whose foundation is GOD are blessed n their lyrics flow freely..the message is love. Blessings be with them all.

Alan is one of the best. Remember When, The Older I Get, Drive (for Daddy Gene), Don't Rock the Jukebox, Midnight in Montgomery

We need everyone to come together today and stand strong together for our country. We are all Americans.

9/11 is forever drilled in my brain. I remember that day, from too well. Not sure I have ever cried so much.

I was driving down one of those "Cold Interstates", I was in a small fuel stop watching CNN on the TV they had up in the deli seating by the time the 2nd plane hit. I drove the 700 mi to the house by bedtime.

I was in New York on George Washington Bridge when they hit the first tower. I have never been a praying person but that day I was.

I know exactly where I was on that day.

I remember that day as well

I was with my aunt taking her around to do errands. We were in the bookstore at the university campus when we heard the radio a worker was listening to. We were in the store as the first building collapsed. I took her home. I had the radio on the whole time. By the time I was almost home, I heard that all planes had been grounded. There shouldn’t have been any planes in the air. I saw a plane in the air. It was not a small plane. I freaked. I got home and shortly after the president delivered a press conference from Barksdale AFB. It was Air Force one I had seen.

I didn’t think your reaction was disrespectful 🤍 looking forward to you watching it again

You might want to rewatch this since you now B know it was for September 11. I’d like to see you react to it again after you realize it.

Our first trip to NY, we were scheduled to fly home morning 9/11, due to emergency, caught red eye on 9/10. Seeing the tv in the airport that morning, seeing people jump to their deaths, #WillNeverForget

My favorite songs by the icon Alan Jackson are Remember When, Livin’ on Love, Where Were You, Small Town Southern Man, I’ll Try, Here in the Real World, Drive, She’s Got the Rhythm, The Older I Get, Monday Morning Church, and I Can't Do That Anymore (recorded by Faith Hill).

I was in Vegas for a Baker's Convention, when I got back to Cali I learned my Great Aunt was in Tower 2 on the 82nd floor, she never got out

Your reaction to this song is in no way disrespectful. I, personally, love your energy. Keep doing you!

Great song and reaction 👌. Please do here in the rea world.

Garth Brooks has a song about the OKC Bombing that's about like this one (The Change), these gentlemen like to make us cry, I think. I remember watching this awards show and holding my breath as Alan sang, I remember where I was and a lot of what happened in hours and days to come.

I'll never forget that day!

I'll never forget that day. I went to an Aerosmith concert in Memphis Tennessee and came home. The next morning my newborn son woke me up and it was on every channel

Great reaction I was in 3rd grade at the time I remember the teachers glued to the TV and some crying

Mercury Blues is a good one to listen to. Also Chattahoochee, which I think was the first video of his I ever saw. As to 9/11, was working at a Burger King saving $ to do an RN refresher course to back after surgery. One of our customers told us thru the drive through window and we found a radio broadcast fast. We were all crying that day...

I was working in a nursing home in Dover, Tn across from the nursing station and at first thought it was a movie.

I was in 9th grade history with Mr Hopkins. We didn't do any work for a week aside from writing a paper on how watching that on the TV made us feel. The news came on with one tower burning and we sat and watched the second tower get hit and eventually they both fell.

i had just showed up at work when a woman stopped to answer her phone and kept saying oh my god then got off the phone and said a plane had just hit the twin tower

Thanks for doing this reaction! I so remember what I was doing, saying goodbye to my husband as he traveled off to work. Waking our son up to watch the horror on TV.

Him an toby keith songs after 9/11 never fails to make me cry then my blood starts to boil for all those Americans that were murdered that day...

Saw this live in 2001 and was blown away. Allan Jackson, what a song writer.

I believe that was the only time when the world stop turning. The closest we ever been united as a world.

I LOVE LUCY!!!!!!! Best ever ❤️🌻

You should react to Darryl Worley- Have you forgotten

He did not even say one disrespectful thing. He just didn’t start crying or get emotional about it like y’all wanted. He doesn’t have to prove his patriotism to any of you or give his political opinions…none of that. And he’s also not required to be 100% vulnerable to complete strangers on YT and share his every emotion. The fu@k? Get outta here with that mess. If y’all were really all about America like you pretend to be, then you’d be all about his freedom to express himself HIS way. 🙄 EDIT TO ADD: I’m a huge AJ fan and this is a great song. It makes me think about that day and the months and years after every time I hear it. I’m just not going to 💩 on someone for their perfectly respectful reaction to it because it differs from mine.

Still brings tears to my heart ❤️

I literally was driving from Atl to Southern IL for my grandpa's funeral

Great job!!!!! To a great song.

The video to this song is heartbreaking, beautiful song

Where were you when the world STOPPED turning

I was just walking into my homeroom junior year and me and a couple friends was praying it was a movie or a prank and then the 2nd plane hit and I hit my knees and just started crying and praying

I was ten, in 4th grade. My dad picked me and my little brother up from school with tears in his eyes. About 10 years later I was close to graduating USMC School Of Infantry sitting in the chow hall, for the first time out of the field in about a month, I saw on the TV Osama had been killed. Then two deployments.

I was on my way to my folks to mow their lawn and the lady at the filling station had her tv on. I watched it for a minute or two before the buildings collapsed or even the 2nd plane had hit, so I thought it was just a bad accident. I went on and mowed their lawn and came in to see them both glued to the tv and both buildings afire. I watched with them for a moment, but then had to get out again and go mow my brother's lawn for him in town. I remember one of his neighbors asking me why I wasn't watching everything going down on the tv and I said I'm sure it'll still be on when I get everything done that has to be done. It may seem cold or callous to some folks, but you gotta live man. I'm sorry for the folks it happened to but I didn't know any of them and I had work to do and sitting and stewing about it wasn't going to accomplish anything. To me, the best thing you can do when something bad happens is to acknowledge it, but keep living your life because in the end, it's all you've really got.

I remember sitting there on the bed watching TV when the Special Report came on. I was in shock and just hugged the kitten since my husband wasn't there to hold onto 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮

I was a teacher with a classroom full of students.

My husband was stationed in Germany so we lived there at the time. I had just pulled up in front of my house after picking my son up from school and my neighbors were all outside talking, and asked me if I heard about what happened.

If you have never heard the song written by Dolly Parton in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, you need to watch her performance of "Hello God" from the CMA awards in 2001. She is crying out to God, begging for time to make things right. "Do you love some more than others? We're so lost and confused. We fight and kill each other in your name, defending you." It ends with Dolly still calling out ""Hello God we really need you. Forgive us for we know not what we do."

I prefer the official video with photos of folks dealing with it.

I was at home having dropped my children at school. I then called the school and made sure they were ok (Dallas, TX). I just remember feeling horrified at the images and couldn't wait to have my family back together

AB, close my brother ;-) U asked what instrument that was, 'ukulele'? It's a mandolin...staple in 'real' country music ;-) ❤️‍🔥 with love from TN ❤️

I Karaoke this song every September 11th

I was in the Army stationed in Germany The events of that day and the months that followed will always be etched in my memories

I was getting breakfast at college after my early morning class the morning of 9/11

Another good artist is Darrel Worley very good he also wrote a song about 9/11 called “ Have You Forgotten” he’s actually updated his lyrics to it through the years. Very powerful. Him and Mark Wills are great guys you should react to as well.

I was in middle school getting ready to go to school (I live on the west coast)and remember the tv all of a sudden cutting to the world trade center and all of us were in shock wondering what happened when the first plane hit thinking it was some kind of accident then the second one hit.

The mandolin in the back gives a nice a haunting feel to it. A nice touch.

This song reminds of September 11th that day. I remember exactly where I was during that time. I was in senior English class in Texas when the teacher wheeled in the tv. All the seniors walked out and said they were all going to join the military to go to war. The next year half of my friends enrolled into the war. My parents wouldn’t allow me to, even though I wanted to go so bad. Many of my friends didn’t make it home.

I was a 9 years old 4th grader, and remember the exact spot on the dirt road on my school bus route when I heard the male and female radio hosts on my local 106.9fm radio station break the news about the first tower being hit. Paraphrasing: Male host, "There appears to have been an accident where a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Centers. It wasn't a little bush plane, it was like a full sized 747." I had no clue what tower they were talking about. But I briefly pictured a bush plane crashing into the side of a 40-ish story building, and not doing much damage to the building.. Then I continued to blankly stare out the bus window, forgetting about it. When I arrived at school, we had a substitute teacher that kept periodically returning to our class to tell our main teacher what was happening. Telling her the second tower was hit. Then returning with tears in her eyes and telling our teacher about the people jumping. Then again when the towers fell. I didn't get to see what actually happened until I got home later that day. I just remember seeing the live aerial shots at night of the smoldering rubble, and the rescuers' lights flashing as they were searching through the rubble. I'll never forget that day, even though I was young and didn't witness it happening live.

I know exactly where I was. I was in labor and delivery giving birth to my youngest. By afternoon I was in an emergency c-section because I was bleeding out internally and had a 40% chance of making it. I didn't see my son till the following day because I was in such bad shape. But we have a reason to celebrate on 9-11 with my baby.

Those who remember will never forget what we did, where we were. All day atvwork we were trying to get updates from our head office.

3:23 That's a mandolin. Used mostly in bluegrass, and some country music.

I was on AIT with about 4 days left until graduation. I left that evening to head to Ft. Campbell to join my unit. Deployed to Afghanistan about 2 weeks later.

Thank you for a great reaction!

Had just gotten up, had TV on, came from kitchen to sit down and watch a show, when the announcement cut in, was calling a friend when the second plane hit.

It was my senior year. I was in 1st period.

This song will get you no matter where you live in this world. I also watch Lucy.
