To anyone that survived 9/11 (incl. EMS workers who risked their lives to save others), if no one has ever told you, I am so thankful that you are still here with us and that you managed to find the strength to make it one more day. You are loved, appreciated, and are very important to us!

@@bigratmonster If you got nothing nice to say, why not keep it to yourself? Theres thousands of people that lost loved ones that day. And you seemingly have a problem with someone expressing their graditude towards survivors, that are most likely still struggling every single day and will continue doing so until the end of their life.

If so many people died, why did you not see even 1 family heartbroken the next few days. No Tv coverage when they "live to flash sad faces" on TV. There is one person who does know who blew up the towers. Every 9-11 how come they don't have families there? Or on TV? Don't believe everything media say's. They STILL are making fake news.

Sorry for the victimes and their family but please tell me how many hundreds of thousands the US Army have killed after this incident?

You believe that you’re human beings but other are not that’s the sad story.

Just the thought of being on the phone on the second tower being told to 'Get out' and then suddenly you see a small silhouette of another plane tilting right towards you, feels like a scene straight out of a movie. I can't imagine anything more terrifying than being quite literally face to face with the risk of death. And our bodies react differently, some would just run for cover, run for an exit or just stand in fear and shock. We can't control what shock and adrenaline will do. I can't believe that some people inside the towers even survived. My thought of the total death toll that day was doubled than what was originally revealed. All those lives lost that day, no matter what they did, were still great people. Someone lost a friend, a brother and sister, a mother a father, a partner, a child. And not only should we remember those who were lost too soon, we must never forget those who willingly sacrificed themselves to save others. There were so many heroes that day, and they never wore capes, they were just people. Just normal people doing what was right.

This is hands down my favorite documentary on 9/11. I had to purchase this on Amazon last year. I loved that they take you through the entire day by the survivors and people who were unfortunate to see that day live. No narrator. Hearing their stories made me cry. Made me feel as if I was there that day. I watch these often as my small way of paying a tribute to the victims and their families. I was 6 when this happened, but it was my first core memory as a child and has stuck with me since. God bless the victims and their loved ones left behind to deal with the aftermath 🌹 Edit: I want to add that this day had a tremendous impact on me as a child. It’s the reason why I became an air traffic controller and why I’m currently getting my masters in Aviation Safety. God bless their souls

I can’t bear to watch these anymore. I watch the videos of the towers going up in the late 60’s instead of them coming down. This has traumatized me for over 22 years !! There’s American before 9/11 and America after 9/11. It still feels unreal

I was an Air Force reservist at the time… my superiors called me a few hours after this happened and said to get my uniforms packed and be ready to go at a moments notice. I was so ready to do anything to help…. I remember how our country came together and just wanted to help each other.❤

It was a horrible moment in time but it really brought out the best in all of us. I’ll never forget how people were together during that time.

Everyone came together then, people wanted to do anything, and then they attacked a totally different country ….people were confused. That’s how they got away with it . Trauma based acceptance of that war .

I find it insane that there were people actually debating if they should leave or not. There were also some who even decided not to leave. A plane just crashed into the tower next to you and your not worried, you don’t want to leave? I’m truly sorry for all the lives lost during this and I still can’t believe something like this happened. It’s really insane.

I get what you’re saying, because it seems completely counterintuitive to me, too. But I think because they didn’t want 10,000 evacuating with all of the debris falling down.

@lilialvarado9106 7 ай бұрын

They didn't want thousands evacuating at the same time yet what was the alternative? Everyone should have been ordered to evacuate immediately. All the ones that survived have one thing in common: they chose to leave and not stay put.

very few knew that it was a big plane that it. some thought it was a bomb, most thought it was a small plane. a lot of people were scared, and were leaving (a lot of people were in the 78th floor)

@lilialvarado9106 7 ай бұрын

@Chris-ot9bk I get it. But usually, with any fire, you want to evacuate as quickly as possible, not stay put and take chances. And they were actually told to go back to their offices. It makes no sense to have told people that they were safe when it couldn't have been known right then if it was or not. As someone said, it is counterintuitive. I personally believe had they been told to evacuate, many lives would have been spared.

@@lilialvarado9106 oh definitely, but that recording was an automated one that they set off if another tower was hurt in some way to avoid everybody on the street at once if not needed especially with falling debris some of which was on fire and people. Another documentary that shows what happened inside in some cases from testimonials of people that they called or etc. Apparently they didn’t know how to switch that message off so while they were on the phone to those that got through to the security office or whatever that Office was were told to leave and they were trying to figure out how to shut off the message when it was played for them by somebody who called and when they gave them, the opposite advice, put that phone up so they could hear themselves… they were trying to help people while also trying to get out of their own office. Radios we’re not working slashed turned to the wrong frequency which I’ve never understood Why. I think some had already gone up before they found out they had to change frequencies because of the spire being hit on top of WTC.

Thank you so much National Geographic for posting and providing this detailed account of the events of 9/11. The tortured souls that survived and the victims who died will live on and ensure that we can never forget. I have shown this to my two sons to show them how it was and why the world is the way it is.

One of my teachers was in college in NY at the time and said nothing ever was the same after that. Everyone was scared for months. Big ups to the people who refused to give up and help people heal from something so traumatic.

I went to New York City last year in the summer and visited the 9/11 memorial and I'll tell you right now that when I saw all the names of the people who had died in both towers I was trying to hold back tears, but that was difficult because I had already known about the story of 9/11, how it affected the world and I had read so many stories from the survivors, and I've watched actual footage from the day that the attack happened on, but when I was there at the memorial for the first time ever it was such a surreal experience for me because I was standing at a place where over 2000 people lost their lives and that was really depressing to me.

I went there back in 2017. I stood at the very corner of where one of those massive towers once stood. I looked at the names and it just struck me hard. As if all the emotions of those that fallen that day rushed through me though I hid that emotion. One moment that struck me the hardest was to see someone with the same name as me. Engraved on the stone. Such memory still stays with me to this day.

I was 18 years old and was in high school. I was on my way back to my school from Vo-tect in McConnellsburg. When I got back to Forbes Road in Waterfall, Pennsylvania, they had the school shutdown, and we had to show our badges before we got in. As soon as I got to my next class, we were watching it on TV. I told some of my classmates that I would never fly again because the last time I flew in a plane was when I was only 5 years old and was heading back to the States from Germany with my parents and brothers which on of my brother's was born in Germany on military base. But God bless those who have gone in as heroes and never made it out. And God bless those who survived and is able to tell their story on that day.
