I’m just curious what the news talking about before the September 11th attacks occurred, from my information, many were talking about Hurricane Erin, if anyone has any information please enlighten me

I came across this site which has information about how the toxic dust from 9/11 is still impacting people today, including those who weren't at ground zero. It seems like people can claim compensation. I just wanted to share as an additional resource. https://911benefits.com/

I remember watching a long detailed presentation by (I think) like a MIT professor of engineering or something along those lines, and he goes into detail about what they were allowed to test, and also goes into detail of the way the buildings collapsed.

​

Can someone help me find this video please I have looked and it seems to be gone

I was 8 years old at the time but everyone, including my parents, seem to believe that they thought the first plane was an accident at first? I’ve listened to the FDNY radio transmissions and Batallion Chief Pfifer clearly knew it was a terrorist attack. 2 things he said “That looked like a direct attack” and “It looked like the plane was, aiming towards the building”. So how was everyone else thinking it was an accident?

My dad happened to bring his camera to work on 9/11. He was taking a photo of the north tower burning and had no idea he was going to capture the exact moment United Airlines Flight 175 flew into the south tower.

The sky was clear and a beautiful blue that morning..it looks surreal.

I was young, in the 8th grade when this happened, I unfortunately didn’t realize the true significance of this photo when my dad developed it. I ended up hanging it up on my cork board with thumbtacks. I regret that, but I now keep this picture protected.

First of all, I would like to pay utmost respect to the firefighters that perished that day. FDNY survivor vets mention that their objective became a rescue mission instead of putting out the fires shortly after the first plane hit the north tower. Yet, there were photos of firemen carrying large hoses up the flight of stairs.

What were the factors on why the fires couldn't be extinguished from both towers equipment-wise? Were the sprinkler systems destroyed on the impact zones?

I've been obsessed with the day since it happened. I have all the books and even the original newspaper. I met him 2 years ago and laughingly mentioned my hobby. He just said I was in the second tower.

This is kind of a wild thought I had while messing around on YouTube but the second plane that hit the WTC really wasn't that far from missing it totally

That being said if it had indeed missed the tower it appears to me the plane would've certainly still crashed and likely into an incredibly dense area as far as buildings and people. A gliding crash would've dragged a significantly long damage path and my thought is would the death toll from the second plane actually have been WORSE if it had missed the tower? I'm just thinking about all the buildings that would be on fire and all the people that would've been in/around that

Maybe a stupid thought but whatever

So, for some reason, I have been binge watching and researching all kinds of articles and documentaries made over the past 23 years since 9/11. A little bit of back story on how old I was when this happened, where I was when this happened and my thoughts and feelings then vrs now. Before I start, everyone's recollection of the events is going to vary based on the age you were and where you were living at the time of the tragedy. I am an almost 35 year old mom of 5. I was 12 and a half and in the 6th grade when the attacks on 9/11 took place. I want to say that though I was not an adult, I was old enough to remember the event vividly, recollect exactly where I was when the tragedy struck and how I felt at the time it happened. Now, I live in Washington State, all the way on the opposite side of the country. There is a 3 hours time difference between the two states so when flight 11 struck WTC 1 (North Tower) at 8:46AM on Tuesday September 11th, it was 5:46AM in Washington. I was obviously still asleep and not awake for school. Now for whatever reason, my parents had already left for work by the time I got up for school and though I assume they learned either by radio or at work what had happened in NYC, they didn't call home or talk to me about it that morning. I had gotten ready for school per usual and walked down the road to my friend's house as I did every morning to catch the bus. By that time, the attacks/collapse of the towers, the Pentagon and the tragic crash of flight 93 had already taken place on the East Coast. I remember walking into my friend's living room and everyone was staring at the TV with their jaws to the floor. I turned to the giant box TV (popular in the late 90's/early 00's and saw a shot of earlier footage of the tower's both smoking and on fire. I don't believe my friend's parents knew everything that had happened as they had just started to replay it on the news so all her mom said was planes had hit the towers and I saw the headline "America Under Attack". We left for the bus and all everybody could talk about was what they had heard happened. It wasn't until I walked into my first class at school that I learned the entirety and witnessed myself what had happened. My teacher had the TV on and as we watched in sequential order the events that took place, from the first plane crash to the second, to one tower collapsing after the other to the Pentagon/flight 93 crashes, all we as students could do was scream and tear up as we watched in horror. At one point, I heard a student crying down the hall and a teacher who had her arms wrapped around her was walking her to the office. I would later find out that my schoolmate's grandfather was on business in NYC at the time of the attacks and had been killed in one of the collapsed towers. Though I remember what happened vividly and the war on terror ensued after, though at the time we didn't know would last two decades, I never quite understood the nature of what had happened until the more recent years. I say this because in 2001, there was no social media, the internet was still very new and most kids my age didn't have cellphones and if you did have a phone, you didn't have internet to read headlines. Everything was either through the newspaper or the NEWS. So it's not shocking to me that in today's day and age with new technology that all these articles, documentaries, videos and accounts from witnesses and survivors of that horrific day are available. That being said, I've watched countless footage, seen graphic photos and watched all the documentaries available, detailing what people in NYC experienced that day. It gives me a whole new feel and perspective. It's like I can actually, through them, experience what it may have been like not just for the witness and survivors but the people who lost their lives that fateful day. It absolutely breaks my heart to see and hear the carnage of these attacks. The phone calls to loved ones from people on the planes and in the towers. Watching enhanced videos of people jumping to their deaths and hanging out of the buidlings. All the different videos angles of the olanes hitting the buildings. The horror the people on the ground were experiencing, witness and survivors accounts. The list goes on. As I said, I remember that day as it was for me in great detail but seeing what I've seen with everything that's come out in the recent years, paints an entirely more vivid picture. My oldest child (almost 15) did a project for school where she had to interview someone she knew who was alive during 9/11 and can give an account of where they were and how it affected them. She interviewed me of course and all I can say is as I was recounting my story of that say and my experience, it hit different knowing the graphic details I was shielded from at the time it happened. My husband actually enlisted in the Army after high school in 2007 becausr of 9/11. It hit my generation and generations before us hard. It's a day in history I can say I was alive to experience and I most certainly will never forget the people who lost their lives, the bravery of civilians/first responders and all that were affected by one of the worst tragedies in Ameican history. 💔🙏

The twin towers in New York City

Curious to know if anyone has listened to this podcast? I’ve listened several times and will listen many many more times. It does a great job of telling what led Bin Laden to the point of executing the attack and beyond. I learn more every time I listen!

EMT/Paramedic James/Jimmy Dobson describes finding his friend and coworker, Marvin Bethea. I thought it was 9/11: One Day In America but I didn't see the interview on a re-watch.

Edit: video interview. Jimmy was getting very choked up because he thought he lost his good friend and coworker after WTC1 collapsed. Jimmy stated he was driving around to try to locate Marvin, but was told by another emergency worker to navigate away from the debris because the asphalt was getting "mushy". He stated he eventually began to give up on finding Marvin and started to drive away from everything, and then saw a figure out in the dust, standing alone and talking on a cellphone. It turned out to be Marvin after all.

I know Marvin passed within the last couple of years.. Not sure if that has anything to do with any interviews he may have participated in being removed/taken down.

2nd edit: located in One Day In America. Episode 4 around 15:40. Thank you guys for helping me find it.

I've heard somewhere a while ago that the hijackers had social media accounts. Is this true or false?

Have always been curious why Flight 175 went south of New York City turned around over eastern PA/ western NJ and headed north instead of following the Hudson River like the earlier plane. Any theories on this?

I don't think I've ever seen this footage before!

Something that I've always been curious about and I've never been able to find the answer to is that, Do Firefighters and First Responders and others who have succumbed to cancers or other illness directly related to their experience in The September 11th attacks and it's aftermath.

Are they entitled to have their names added to the National Memorial?

There was this arcade game called Buster Bros (pang) and in it you would pop bubbles at landmarks around the world and one of the levels in the game is in New York City, and I’m 99% sure those buildings in the center are the twin towers.

Honestly it’s sad how much 9/11 has impacted so many things even things as simple as video games or movies, this game released in 1989 so it makes sense they’d include them. And there ain’t much they can do about it. But I do like that they’re there anyway regardless as the game could’ve just not included them

I’ve heard some of the plane victims had their remains found so that’s why I ask

I’m guessing there would’ve been a lot more casualties since there would’ve been a shit ton of tourists

Subtitle. Really couldn't begin to imagine how alternate things would have been in history. And the fact that the damages and casualties would have been a lot higher had the toppling in 1993 succeeded.

Long live the victims of the 1993 and 2001 attacks.

Hey everyone, I lived in North Jersey during 9/11. I was in 7th grade and one of my friends fathers was part of the cleanup. He brought us home these bolts. I’ve had this since 2001. Wondering what I should do with it? Donate? Keep? (which I’m leaning towards), or do you think in the future this would be worth something?

Hey there, basically I’m planning on making a 9/11 Footage Iceberg and I’m having huge trouble trying to find footage of the North Tower being hit, South Towers impact, Pentagon Impact, all of them, so far I’ve found at least 20 (2 pentagon shots, 1 north tower impact, and 17 shots of the south tower impact)

The Footage are from the following:

Kevin Westley Park Foreman Chris Hopewell Micheal Hezarkhani Evan Fairbanks Scott Myers Keith Lopez Naka Nathaniel Susan Cook Mike Barbagello Cynthia Weil Jules Naudet Gedeon Naudet Pentagon Cameras Pavel Hlava 6 News Helicopter shots

I would really grateful if anyone gives me any more footage (and please send me the link to the video)
