Father Mychal Judge was the New York fire chaplain and the first victim of 9/11. His body was captured on film being carried from the ruins of the twin towers. This is the unique story of a man considered by many to be a Saint.

When it happened, we didn't have access to all the interviews and testimonies - I really didn't know that even to this day, victims still suffer and die from over 150 cancers and pulmonary diseases from the asbestos. They called it "ash," but that was not ash. And all the ways people were injured: going blind from asbestos caked in their eyes, inhaling chunks of concrete into lungs, electrocution from the sprinkler system, the passengers crashed in the plane,, the 1st or 2nd degree burns of those in the elevators, the sky raining down glass shards, the concrete wedged in people's body parts, crushed in the rubble, severed body parts, getting crushed in taxi cabs or cars, etc etc that we hadn't known about from only watching the news that day

Ironically, the night b4 the tragedy I saw a biography on Father Judge. I was so impressed with his courageous spirit and strength he gave to the people he helped. They spoke of the tragedy of another time that Father Judge visited annually to support the victims, just as he did the day it happened (it was on Long Island). When I saw the Firefighters bringing him up the street after the South Tower collapsed I just screamed!! I cried out to God and a voice rang in my head.. "I will cross the others over so they will not be alone"..I have heard the voices of others who have died, but they are usually ones who are close to me..I was happy to hear his and believe he indeed was there, helping all those terrified and confused people into the realm of peace, love and happiness. God Bless, Father Mike and all those who perished..Rest in Peace😇❤️

He is the first victim that could be confirmed as dead on that day . The jumpers could not be confirmed right away because of the chaos that was going on and the inability to identify the bodies who fell from so far and were so badly damaged that they weren’t confirmed till days and weeks after the buildings had fallen . So yes he was the first officially confirmed casualty of 9/11 because he was still in tact and all his fire crew identified him immediately and reported it out which confirmed him as the first death from the trade center disaster.

I believe Mychal has been already canonized as a saint about a year after 9/11. In order to become a posthumous saint, you need at least two required instances where you have performed miracles for others. Mychal was the chaplain of the NYFD and he rushed to people’s aid, praying over them and comforting them. It s debated over how exactly he died. Some say he was tending to someone and was struck by a piece of falling debris while another account said that Mychal died of a heart attack. I’ve been to St. Francis of Assisi church a couple times; this was Mychal’s church. Many years afte the attack, I saw a small 9/11 memorial in the corner: there was a large scrap of twisted metal that fell off one of the towers with a gold rise sticking out if it. The memorial was dedicated to Mychal for his heroic sacrifice. He seemed like a kind man who lived as he taught: serving God and others. I hope he is tending to his flock in heaven.

@@tamitornado1409 That is very true. Before he died, he Giuliani and others were inside the lobby of one of the towers... they've never replayed any of that footage... but every so often, you could hear a crash, and they explained it was the sound of another body falling, and landing on the roof of something outdoors. The sound was horrifying and I imagine it was never released again because of the sensitive nature due to the families that could be involved. I don't think they ever knew exactly how many jumped, or fell to their deaths, but I remember from watching the news that day, there were so many, and I imagine the choice between burning to death and jumping seemed easier. Smoke inhalation would be kinder if you could be certain it killed you before you burned to death, but I don't think they were going to be that lucky. If it had been me, I think I would have jumped too... at least most of my body would have been in one place, and not vsporized...

to see the photo of them carrying his body, the look on their faces, and the sheer magnitude of it all can be absolutely overwhelming. I am very glad that this has so far shown that he was a HUMAN BEING, flawed, imperfect, and with what looks like a great sense of humor. He was very obviously loved and respected, and didn't seem to be full of ego. It's a shame that there aren't more like him. I am not a Christian, but I know that this represents what a good Christian is SUPPOSED to be. I hope all who loved and cherished him keep his teachings, guidance, love, and friendship in a cherished place within themselves, and pass on a legacy of a man who seemed to put his personal needs extremely low on his list of priorities. He better make saint-hood, he is the prime example of what it means to be a saint...and my last comment is to say to those that are nitpicking what technical number he died in. SHAME ON YOU, IT DOESN'T MATTER REALLY IF HE WAS FIRST OR LAST, HE WAS DOING SOMETHING VERY FEW HAVE THE BALLS OR DECENCY TO DO, SO GET A GRIP. IT IS GOING BY THE "OFFICIAL" RECORD AND HOW THEY HANDLED IT, NOT ANYTHING ELSE. HOW ABOUT THE NEXT TIME THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF DEATHS IN A FEW HOURS YOU DO THE TALLY, EH????

Would have so loved to have met this amazing man, ive done so much research into him feels like i practically knew him, RIP hero, i may be a million miles away in UK but thats one name thats forever embedded in my heart. The look of utter hurt on his face less than 5 minutes before the other tower fell and took his soul i can never forget.

God Bless you Father Mychal. As well as your spiritual path, you were the epitome of a "man". I had the pleasure of reading Rudyard Kipling's famous poem "If". It's all about a father giving advice to his son and passing on what makes a man. I'm sure Father Mychal is reunited with his father and I'm sure his father would attest that he is in fact, a true man. True men run in when everyone else is running out.

I believe Father Mychal truly lived his love for others. And at the moment he left this earth, he was lifted into the arms of Jesus.

We have the pleasure in Australia of having a hand written letter from Dympna Judge Jessuch, Mychal's sister. he was thanking u for being the first to have flowers sent to the Armory and to 2 other florists after 9/11. It is a cherished piece as she thanks us and it also contained remeberances of Mychal

Father Mychal Judge was a beautiful person and an inspiration. I hope things are moving forward for his canonization. You know, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was made a Saint and it wasn't because of any miracles performed. It was because of the love she gave, her tireless devotion and her work with the lost members of society; the ill, the poor. Several people here have stated that they received miracles because of Father Mychal. The Vatican and our present Pope, need to be reminded of all the good that was Father Mychal Judge. This was a emotional story. I will always have his final picture in my mind. I can feel that he is still around helping. He truly was a Wonder-full man.

I was shocked to learn Mychal's autopsy, allegedly showed he died of a heart attack. I saw an interview of one of the firefighters say this.

Any person who would rub the feet of aids patients during a time most wouldn't breathe by them deserves a sainthood just for that. Rubbing a dying persons feet is selfless act of kindness. I did it for my grandmother and she said it just felt so good. I'm not religious at all either, but bless him.

Someone said of Father Michael that he died to see that the souls who would not survive made their way "home". I've often thought that, what are the odds!

People know who saintly people are to them. God knows the saints of the world really are. Ive known people like this man - and when you meet them or grow up with them you know the way that God works through. Some get recognition or canonised but i think there are so many saints living in this world, or have lived in our lifetimes that we all meet, and feel that. God Bless🙏 RIP Father

Never did a truer, Saint walk this earth. Father Judge, take your rightful seat next to God, walk hand in hand through Heaven with Mother Teresa. You are both shepherds of the people.❤

Before he went to NYC, Fr. Mychal Judge was a friar/priest at Siena College, my Alma Mater, in Upstate NY. So this hit close to home. May he and all victims continue to RIP. I cannot fathom that it has been almost 22 years since this happened.

Apparently, he was praying for FDNY Michael Weinberg incase anything life threatening happened to him and that was when the south tower fell on them. They were both killed. He was super close with Ladder 1 Engine 24 guys where Weinberg worked.

Better he is NOT canonized. Were he to be 'canonized', he would be the property of the Vatican who could and would use his memory whichever way it so chose as it has with so many other Catholic Saints. This way, he will always belong to New York .....and its Irish American Catholics and its FDNY. .......born and bred New Yorker

Ding ding ding! You’re the first person who understood what they said. Who could possibly know who died first. He was the first carried out, in whole. This comment section makes me wonder if anyone actually watched the video.
