i was 11 years old in my bed hot summer day east side of OKC , i just got up out of the bed , getting ready for school (Polk elementary ) and my grand mother fell to her knees crying in front of the tv yelling LOOOK WHAT THEY DID TO US OMG LOOK WHAT THEY DID GOD! planes are running into building dear lord save us i really didnt know what was going on !!!!!!!!!! RIP 9/11
I cant believe this was 25 years ago, i remember leaving work and getting in my car. I never listened to the radio i always put my music on, but this day i had it on and as soon as i turned the car on it said a plane had gone into the Pentagon. I knew this wasn't good and got home to have my linch and turned the tv on. What i saw was unbelievable, i was literally in shock. I went back to work and just couldn't believe what i had seen. I went to bed that night and couldn't sleep, i actually thought did i really see that, it was so awful i wanted it to not be real but sadly it was. My thoughts are with all the lost and their poor families you will never be forgotten 🙏❤
That was super smart and creative to use the ice rink as a refrigerator to keep the food for everybody!❤
Mamdani! AOC!! BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY AND DO!!! We rerember!!
Never forget, but more so NEVER FORGIVE. Today we have a socialist Muslim mayor of NYC. We did forget, we never taught what actually happened and what ideology did it. Sad.
THANKS AUSTRALIA
See i wouldnt gaf if they said the building was secured i rather lose my job then my life
Chief Pfeiffer is an extremely intelligent man; in the car leaving the gas leak and going down immed to the site, he stated that 'it was a deliberate act". Later, when asked he knew, he said he saw the fraction of the moment when the plane slightly changed course and banked into the building. Had to have been one of the very first that knew (among the responders).
😢
We'll never forget what happened that day and the lives that were lost. Just a sad day for American. I hope people remember that among the thousands lost in three different places many were from other countries. Many U.S. leaders have become indifferent the last 25 years about what happened and who committed these attacks. That's changed now – and it will stay changed. There is no place in the U.S.A. for people who despise our U.S. Constitutional republic – American or otherwise.
I dont believe nothing and noone nowadays

So sad 😞
I am German; at the time, colleagues from Germany were in New York. My partner back then had family living in New York. We will never forget those days. I hate all the idiots who spread conspiracy theories—claims that it was an inside job or a controlled demolition. I hate Trump and his MAGA movement. Back then, the world was united against terror; today, it is united against the terror of America and Russia. That is the state of things… and America isn't waking up…
FYI, This documentary is from 2021 NOT 2026.
I will never forget this. With love from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
hits worse today as we learnt nothing and have been betrayed by leaders that have welcomed an army of them in now. so sad
I remember hearing pascal's story years ago, im so glad to see him again. His purpose for living is probably that woman clutching onto him, and of course those beautiful children/adults. Look at how she looks at you, it's beautiful
I cant feel bad for something in that when some today don't let me talk to others and I couldn't find a partner because of them how they are
Additionally, the fact that they were able to use Canadian airports, particularly Gander, was a tremendous moment where we were helping those in need. It was a touching moment that demonstrates our values.
