9/11/01 Live Regis and Kelly (Entire 58 minutes of the show) 

I was about 9 years old. I remember being scared, thinking we were going to be attacked on the west coast too (I'm from California). I was in that state of fear for about 2 weeks

Can we get a round of an applause for the two of them just vamping for a hour while not having a good idea of what was going on??

@@rprimeauableful Vamping? WTH does that even mean?

Yup, it still hurts 😢

Wondering the same thing lol. Don't think he's using the right word. ​@@tonyarc9455

it makes me need to remember to breathe. devastating.

Yep. Gasping and crying... just like we all did so long ago. The anger and horror - just as fresh. 🙏🤬😭😭

I'm bored on overnight shift at work and this just popped up, I'm crying like a baby

A day I will never forget. I was 9 years old when it happened. I cry every single time I watch a 911 video.... I still can't believe it.

A friend of ours lost her daughter who was there on business FOR THE DAY! She was on the 82nd floor of the North Tower. She was a beautiful newlywed. So tragic for ALL the families involved. 💔💔💔💔💔💔

He was very unprofessional just randomly blurting things out, he had no compassion.

SO THERE WAS A THUNDERSTORM! THUNDER! LIGHTNING! talk about symbolism.

@@carter3369 it was live, he had to keep things ticking. I'm not sure what else he could have done, bar everyone just close up and end the show altogether. Don't be so judgemental.

he had class.

Even if you weren't a huge fan, he left a big entertainer hole, like Casey Kasim

Same

Oh I'm so sorry💔 I remember sitting on my sofa...coffee spilled on the carpet; cup still dangling in hand. Tears streaming as the towers fell

Must have been such a difficult thing to remember. I'm from The Netherlands and back then I worked at an animal shelter when we heard the first news. A friend of mine called and said she saw it on her computer and one of the collegues wondered why she was playing a computer game (weird game but ok). But it was very real. And scary. Even for us.

This. THAT smell. I always and keep talking about this. That smell is something I can't ever forget.

That's terrible. I'm so sorry.

I find weirder that regice was so nonchalant. I know he's supposed to remain calm, but that's not a Segway moment.

Regis is the consummate professional. Trying to keep people calm.

She looked sad when she sat down at the start. She was pretty devastated right away.

I was at work, in a classroom about to show a movie, back when you needled a VCR.

Kelly looked completely traumatized. Shame on the network producers for not cutting away from Regis and Kelly and putting professional reporters on air to report on this highly sensitive event in a manner that could actually benefit TV viewers.

RIP. 🙏🏼 🕊️

yeah, poor Kevin Cosgrove was on the phone when the tower collasped on him and his final words were "Oh God, OH (i assume when it cut off, he was gonna scream SHIT or FUCK)" in fact, there's audio recording of his final words online, it's pretty sad to hear.

Why would you write something like that? Nobody needs your sensational remarks which have no idea are true. It's disrespectful to someone who perished. @@WillHendersonTX

@@jerseypete6674nothing he said was sensationalized although assuming what his next word would be is a little silly. What he said is true, that recording is real and haunting.

@@jerseypete6674Why would you write something like that? Nobody needs you to police the comment section. It would have taken you less time to simply type Kevin Cosgrove into the search bar to verify Will’s story than it took you to reply to him.

Me too. I was 20. I really feel like Innocense was lost that day, Sure, we had Columbine right before that. National Tragedy and the Challenger explotion is the 80s, but this is right up there with the attack at Pearl Harbor.

Same. I was 13. And same dude. Same. That’s when I realized that there was actual real evil and not just pretend cartoon villains.

Me too but I was only 10

Hugs. We all lost something, or someone that day.

I was 16 and all I thought about safety, security in America was wiped and it was an age that young men had to think about heavier things. Everything was uncertain at the time.

my gasp came from regis saying "the fuselage jumped over to the other building" Jesus, what a dope.

​@@SocialAssasinat that time they did not know what had happened I thought the captin took a stroke or he took sick

Looking at the Israel Hamas thing reminds me so much of this day.

Obviously. No one knew what happened. However, what he said is not possible. This wasn't a cartoon. @@audreyperrin320

Also Kelly's reaction when they find out it was a 2nd plane

I was shocked at how he was calm he was considering the situation. I immediately went to a list of 9/11 victims and there was his name. 💔 RIP Sir. This never gets easier to imagine happening in my lifetime. I will never forget this day. 😢

This is such an excellent call out. He interrupted the newscasters where I would think would be so easy to just be led along with their questioning and in the moment realized he had access to this massive communication device (live television) to get specific critical info out and to try to comfort family on behalf of everyone trapped.

I fell bad for the men who lost their ladies in the destruction. One dude, his wife vanished pretty lady Indian. Man I want to save the women

As this was happening live that day; I was saying "so what, big deal, who cares." It meant nothing to me at the time. But decades later I do see what a tragedy it truly was and what a significant part of history it is. Rest in peace to all those who died that day.

It was at this time when Jim was talking I had to stop watching the video and read the comments. My heart just couldn't take anymore.

did your brother make it out?

@@Jeri-AnneSmith yes

​@@MM-yh2miI can't believe trump And his son in law Are talking money from people who did this

​@@TomManning-cs4elHe would take money from a homeless person on the street.

@@angelakensy8268 he already did that

Amen

The audience were dead silent too. 😢 And heartbreaking when Kelly talked to Jim her voice breaked.

Same here i'm in a shocked face as i'm watching this footage when I rember watching it live on the news calling My family in NJ....almost 23 Years ago😢💔💔💔💔💔

It was her older child's first day of school. She had a newborn there at work as well. There is an interview with her experience a few years ago here on RU-vid

You can even see a box of tissues on the table after the break, so you can tell she walked off set, broke down and started crying. It also looked like she was about to puke too

there's a video on yt where she recounts her experience that day. iirc it was her eldest kid's first day of school and she was a few months post partum as well. the shock on her face here is so raw.

​@@WinkDaMan07I think the first break ....she walked off and probably puked in a garbage can....br b 2 far🤢🤮🤬🤬🤬

She was upset that regis made her look like a fool when she suggested it was an accident, hence her storming off as they cut to first commercial break.

Can you elaborate for non Americans? What does this mean? Was this broadcast or it’s a behind the scenes?

@@Tityretupatulae​​⁠​​⁠​​⁠​⁠​⁠they mean the channel(s) in the US that would typically broadcast this show switched to showing special live news coverage, so the recording of this show would be difficult to get. From the video description, it looks like this episode was broadcast through satellite TV.

@@Tityretupatulae This is a little bit behind-the-scenes. This is not footage from a television channel. Instead, this is footage that was intercepted from a satellite feed. The studio sends the television signal to space for a satellite, and the satellite would return signal back to ABC's broadcasting station to distribute the show to the television channels. The only people who could see this were people who worked at the studio, the broadcast station, or whoever owned a satellite dish to intercept the signal. Getting into broadcast feeds was more common 20 years ago.

It's a syndicated show, so any local station could buy and broadcast it (i.e. in one city it might be on the ABC affiliate, another city it might be on the FOX affiliate, another city it might be on an independent station, etc). This was probably recorded from a local station that doesn't have its own news room or an affiliation with one of the national networks (ABC, NBC, FOX, etc), so they just kept showing this as their normal programming since they have nothing to switch to.

@@TityretupatulaeIt was live show. So when they came out to greet the audience, the first tower was hit and that’s why they were talking about it first hand. Then a few minute later, they saw an explosion via live footage of the towers. Now the camera was zoomed to the first tower and they saw part of a fireball. At that time Kelly was like “something exploded.” A few minutes after that one of the production crew as we saw said that was a second plane hitting the other tower. This was 2001 and as crazy as it sounds lol instant Internet and news was not a thing. Smartphones wasn’t in the market yet. Social media? What’s that? A phone notification, huh? So the people in the audience had no clue until Regis and Kelly spoke about it first thing. Now, I could be wrong. Before the show aired the audience could’ve been informed via the crew due to a lot of them living in NY probably and the first plane hit during the 8am hour. Makes sense that they would be informed but the second plane hitting was in real time. At that point, almost everyone was caught up. Scary stuff 😢

I so agree. I miss watching him every night back then.

He was better certainly than that other idiot who brought up "navigational equipment" but he constantly called Don Dahler "Dan" even though he was corrected multiple times and he was constantly bringing up "where is the President" when we don't need to be broadcasting the President's location while the country is under siege.

Agree. I cried when he passed. An era ended.

David Muir though. ❤

100%

Same. 😢

Same....the feel of emotions when the second plane hit still gets me

Wuss

​@@adambrunswick5420you wouldn't be saying that if you were above the floors where the planes hit with no way out

Horror. The average age of those murdered? 37. So young.

Everyone says " We" one speaks for all. I had no feeling. I don't feel shock and awe. I have no startle . Speak for yourself not all

​@Docthewrench you sound broken

It legit was hard to watch her. You could tell she was all of us: just want to go get home get my family!

must be a lonely life @@Docthewrench

​@@Docthewrenchsad for you then

I am so sorry I can not fathom your terror

You did a good job. God Bless

I work in the industry, I think of this all the time. The pilots of AA 11 were likely the first victims of that horrible morning, with everybody else on the plane to die when the plane crashed. What an unimaginable situation, I have no doubt that the flight attendants did everything they could based on what little understanding they had of what was happening. Keeping passengers calm was probably their main focus. Truly terrible.

I'll never forget that Betty Ong was the first hero to communicate the situation and intentions to the authorities via the reservations center that she called from an airphone. ❤

@@DoNotTredOnMe exactly right! An AA flight attendant that alerted the country of the impending doom!😢💔

🇨🇦 🇺🇸 ♥️

❤

❤️🫂

I'm forever affected. I lost a child that day thirty minutes after the towers fell my wife Miss carried

It collectively traumatized all of us. The world hasn't been the same since.

Always remember Islam did this

@@BrenMurphy1 religious extremists did this. Sadly there are people of every creed and colour who are extremists who have no care for human life !

I was 16 and I'm still affected by this. Now and again a vid will land in my recommends and I'm right back there. My blood runs cold. Luv from the UK.

Well, there were all the local and network news anchors who were on live TV at the time.

Well put 👏

​@denelson83 yeah but they weren't running a morning show, they were just covering what they were supposed to cover, Regis and Kelly kind of were forced into covering it

Continue talking about the thunderstorms last night

​@@nategeo91what's even more impressive is that Kelly said Regis knew immediately that America was under attack after the 1st plane hit. She said when they were backstage about to come out, he said "can you believe with those animals did to us?" So he then had to come out there and pretend everything was just fine, and that it was likely an accident, when in his heart he knew the truth 😢

In my 20s, I watched this unfold on TV. It was traumatizing and the war debates went on for months, then years. This occupied my 20s and 30s into my 40s because I joined the Army and went to war several times in GWOT. So it definitely impacted me and I still watch these old 9/11 videos with great sadness of how America and so much changed that day.

@timsimmons9995 I joined the Navy a year before this happened right out of high-school. We're about the same age. I remember how eager we all were to serve and get at those who attacked us. I served in Afghanistan and Iraq with the Seabees. Years later, I wonder what we even served for.. Coming back to this video, it's nostalgic to see the world just as it took a major turning point before the end of the era of prosperity. Young people today have been robbed of the country we both knew..

Now, look what Obama/Biden have continued to do to destroy our country. Just sickening that people who hate us are placed in positions of power to destroy from within.

​@@paulbier2182I joined the Navy in October of 2000. My ship went out to the Arabian Sea shortly after. I was just assuming my watch, on ship, when this happened. I'll never forget this day.

Crazy to think about how different the world would be if it never happened. But I guess that goes for every major tragedy. Just feels more personal since it was in our lifetime.

He was a consummate professional.

Regis was a true broadcaster. He knew how to handle an event like this.

She was so shook.🥹

Regis had been around a long time. He was on the air broadcasting when Lincoln was shot.

Regis was an absolute class act. The way he kept calm to help Kelly was nothing short of absolute professionalism.

I shudder to think what happened to Jim. 😢

I think I know what happened to Jim. After this video randomly showed up in my feed, I watched a few more 9/11 videos. The story of Gander and Come From Away, and now Phone Calls From People Trapped in the Towers. This video is following several people’s stories, and one is Jim Gartenberg who was stuck on the 86th floor who couldn’t get out because the exit was blocked by debris. He left behind a little girl and pregnant wife. 😢 The stories in this video and listening to the last messages is so profound, but watch only if you want your heart ripped out.

@@ellengrace4609I worked on that show Come From Away…

​@@ellengrace4609I was wondering too what happened to the man Jim on the phone. So sad!!😢

This horrific event will never be forgotten. The raw shock is still palpable 22 years later. Never forget. A true Act of War

Kelly had only been regularly co-hosting the show for 7 months at this point, so I'm sure she was not prepared for something like this (how can you be?). Between that and her young children, I'm sure she was a wreck inside.

That sounds so scary. I remember my parents gathering us telling us there might be a war starting. Our extended family was calling and we were all getting ready for a big war event. Nobody was sure when the attacks would stop, or where the next one would be. Sickening.

Hugs. You did what you could, followed orders, and I and others appreciate you.

@@user-ww3kl1dg1y Thank you

Thank you for your service and lending your comment to this tragic event

My mum was pregnant with me at the time, just about 2 months away from me being born. She told me a couple of years ago that she was anxious about what kind of world she'd bring me in to. "I was worried a lot about what kind of world I would put you in. Everyone thought a big war was about to happen. I didn't want that to happen. Nobody did." - her.

Be safe, fam. 😢🙏🏽🥀

What’s next

just think about what chaos america brought to countries overseas daily!! all the innocent women and children

@@shawnwalkernorth33 Indeed.😢🥀🙏🏽

@shawnwalkernorth33 huh? Please clarify.

This video is one of the best at showing the initial confusion and creeping sense of dread as people slowly got more information that morning. Everyone was so confused and unknowing, but as things progressed the truth finally clicked as we watched the TV in horror.

Totally agree, really brings it home more than other clips.

​@aphreyst4551 agree the way everything was happening real time and getting worse as it progressed was unreal and confusing to what we were witnessing.

It's haunting that this footage not only encapsulates the attacks but also shows America changing forever in real time.

I think Regis took it seriously, but as a veteran in TV broadcasting, was trying to follow “the show must go on” mantra until the details of the situation were confirmed. His tone changed significantly once the 2nd plane hit. When that happened, you could also tell that Kelly was almost physically ill on air.

You could tell she wanted to call her family and get her kids asap.

They were too in shock to remember the applause button.

As a young mother I'm sure Kelly was terrified for her kids.

It was actually appropriate that they'd forgone playing the shows theme music before going to commercial as it wouldn't have been a good idea to have the music playing as they'd went to commercial

I was just thinking I am feeling like I need to throw up. I'm sad to know I'm not the only one.

Yeah, and it will be that way forever, no matter how long or how many times we see it. 🥺

Same. Hand covering my mouth in disbelief 😢

​​i feel the exact same way, watching this took me right back to that morning...heartbreaking

Me too 🫂

Only difference is we can watch news on our phones not just limited to TVs anymore.

We r in Delaware.. they turned them on. The silence in that school was never that loud. 8th grade for me. They sent us home instantly almost. I believe i was home as the 2nd tower hit. The traffic seemed slower..less. watching this as an adult now is completely and utterly painful. The gravity of ya kno? Hearing a mans last words lnowing what u know..😟

I was in 4th grade and we still had school all day here in Texas they never canceled class or turned on the tv but teachers were talking about it a little for what I can remember but hearing stories that others canceled school or watched it then canceled school is mind blowing to me that we still had school acting like nothing happened it makes me sad and breaks my heart for everyone that died that day. It could’ve been worse they could’ve came after America even more than they did. So so sad.

I was the same age i think. I remember watching the second one hit live but didn't understand what I was seeing. We weren't allowed at watch TV and had school that day. I also went to the first baseball game after it happened it was supposed to be on 9/11 but got cancelled it was a beautiful tribute they had at the game

I was in 10th grade and eating a bowl of cereal about to walk to school when the second plane hit. We still had school but in every class they had this on the entire day.

I was in the 3rd grade we also stopped normal class and turned on tv to watched the news 😢 this was most sad day in USA since I’ve been alive, for real!

As a US citizen this was shocking. The second and third day of coverage was heartbreaking. The families and friends of missing people came out in droves with signs with “have you seen or know of ….”. And of course they all were lost forever. Still to this day they are sifting through rubble using DNA technology to bring some kind of closure to those still around. 😢

We love you too ❤

No one cares

@@nf4922clearly everyone cares, don’t be disrespectful

steve bartlestein is an idiot. said it was an accident

@@nf4922 what a sad, miserable life you must have

​@@nf4922- must really suck to be you - sad and miserable

It almost looked like she was about to puke when Regis sent them to a commercial break to regroup and get the story right

She didn’t even know how to sit! She looked so uncomfortable 😣

Yeah, then the fear feeling and the wonder what was going to get hit next Other well-known sites?. Las Vegas, LA schools hospitals 😢 I wanted to stay glued to the TV. Didn't know what was going to get hit next,for how long, and still had to go back to work that night not knowing if there were more attacks coming.very scary times.

My father's face was frozen. He was in combat mode, that was the first time I saw that and I was 5.

I'm sure her main thought was her kids since NO ONE knew what was going on

I remember that morning, something made me wake up early (I usually slept in). This was after the first plane but before the second. I got a notification on my computer to turn on the news. I immediately thought something was wrong, it was too clear, that building is too tall to NOT see. I get that planes are not exactly the most maneuverable, but for a plane to hit that directly was hard to think of as an accident. That was what I was thinking as an 18 year old watching this. Terrorism was a thing that happened elsewhere, you know, the Middle East, or more recently Eastern Europe (the Balkans, Sarajevo, that was still pretty fresh on my mind then). But I certainly thought something was wrong about a plane hitting the first tower, it just seemed so improbable. Pilots are trained to do as much as they can to reduce casualties if something is going to happen (think Sully in the river a few years later). Hitting a building in a plane that was still flyable was just not an accident. I wanted it to be an accident, everyone did, but it didn't make sense. Then a few minutes later the second plane hit, and it was obvious what was happening. As unrealistic as an accident was, it was the optimistic answer (alas, air traffic and the military already knew this was an attack).

When you listen closely, his nose sounds slightly plugged as if he had just been crying. And the fact that he had been thinking about what could have and what likely could not have caused this, he was ready to report, but not just report, but to keep the show going … however, he was an entertainer who really loved his audience. That was his charm for sure. I don’t envy his position. A lot of what he probably wanted to say he couldn’t say, just being a professional on the job in front of the camera. Listen carefully to what he says as he says it. His mind was very quick, and he is very controlled. You can see he has emotions over this, but that he is keeping them very collected. That is a gorgeous quality in a man, and then to focus on the person talking to him. You can see the look in his lower face tell his true emotions every now and then, while his eyes tell you what is happening in his mind that is focusing actively on his job and the people involved there.

My school principal told us it was probably a terrorist attack after the first plane hit. I went to small private school so there weren't that many of us in grades 6-12. They didn't tell the younger grades. We got to go sit in the cafeteria and watch the news for the rest of the day. I saw the second plane hit and both towers fall. I was 13.

​@@_mnejing I knew I guy, met him as an adult, who told me that when the first tower was hit, they were called to get ready to go out to sea ASAP. They also were told they were going to most likely go to war. Idk how true this is bc he was a bit crazy, but I do know the bases were locked down right after the first plane hit. My stepdad was a civilian worker on NAS Jax

It wasn't likely an accident as that whole airspace is a no fly zone. I can't say that Regis knew that of course.

It affected businesses too. My dad owned Tarpy Tailors just outside of LAX and the business never actually recovered fully.

Al-qaeda is the CIA

Honest reporting still exists.

​@@TheGreyFortresswhere ???

It was an inside job and everybody knows GWB knew it too… There’s so much evil that people are so unaware of. Guess who killed Kennedy JFK~ ask George W. Bush…. and then ask God why didn’t He do anything about it, where is justice.?

Was 86th above or below the impact for WTC1? Edit: I think about 5-10 floors below, it's a pity they couldn't tell him that

@@barnowl2832 He was blocked in, the floors above had collapsed and trapped them.

he was in floor 86 tower 1. plane hit floor 94-97. Poor guy was just there to move his stuff to a new office that very day. In retrospect if there were only him and another person there then there might have been another way out through another exit. Maybe not. I guess it's a lesson in a way that while generally the safest thing to do in a similar situation is to sit tight in a safe location and wait for help, in this case, you needed to self rescue and as fast as you could. I mean at this point he was about 45 minutes after the first hit. about 25 minutes before the tower collapsed. I ran UP the CN tower once for a charity thing and I'm a smoker and I did that in 22 minutes. In my opinion it was probably foolish to call in to a talk show rather than figuring out how to improve your situation in an emergency like that. I recall another video where a man on the street exclaims to camera that the 76th floor fire door was locked also. Somehow he got out to tell that to someone on the street....

They anticipated that the building wont collapse and the fire will consume itself but they were wrong. Many engineers also assumed that until the building collapsed, they investigated and knew why. It was the truss system and insufficient anti fire coating. But surely people from those floors where the plane hit directly are already dead. RIP to them.

@@penguinpie5056At that point, the North Tower still has about 55 minutes left.

World? We all knew US attacked itself.

and for you. I'm so sorry.

Heavy heart

Wow, glad you both had each other that day

I'm so glad you had each other.

Amen, evil forces at work!

My sister in law was supposed to be on U93. She changed it the night before but she has her ticket in a frame on the wall.

Kelly told the story many times that, before they even went on the air, Regis looked at her and said “Can you believe what those bastards just did to us?” He was certain that it was deliberate immediately.

Howard Stern really let it out on his show, he said “I feel like hurting someone” and then later said “we need to just start dropping A bombs on them” but he still had restraint and told people to stop when it came to reports of Muslim people were being attacked here in the US said “they have nothing to do with this, they’re just as scared as we are”. I miss old Stern

Oh my word! May I ask, why didn't he let you come in the end? Amazing story

@@daniellekrammel4211 - hi I did reply to u - I hope u saw it, but I didn’t do it through the app. I did it from my email? Pls let me know if u got it & also it’s from a gmail address

Where does it show that ?

I remember my science teacher turning on the TV at that moment. She just turned it back off and started crying while trying to teach

Which is probably for the best. They of course have sprinklers, and if you don't see them come on right away, obviously you're screwed. And nobody needs to know that if it can't be helped.

Sadly, the real account of Jim's story was that he was terrified. He spoke to a number of people that day, including his wife, best friends, parents, and an HR person for his company. He was juggling calls simultaneously between his cell phone and work phone. When his HR person told him that he had done well on TV explaining the situation and staying calm, he told her that he had lied about how bad things were because he didn't want to scare the families who had loved ones in the building, but he assured her that it was as bad as it could get and getting worse by the moment and that he and his secretary were terrified. He cried with his friends and wife on the phone and told them he didn't think they'd make it out. Honestly, his courage and presence of mind to calm the public, despite the reality they were experiencing, is truly inspiring. It's even more tragic that he was only in the office that morning because he came in early to clean out his office, as it was to be his final day with his company and he was moving to a different office Uptown. I hope his soul has found peace. ❤

It's heartbreaking

​@@sarawilliams1451It's such a tragic story. 😢

Oh my gosh. His last day? How awful and how brave he was to be so calm for all the other families.

It wasn't just America mate. The whole free world was with you. My house mate woke me up just after the first plane hit the tower, it was about 1am in Australia. The next day. No one was in public. I was working in retail at that time with probably 100 customers a day. Only 2 came in.

transitions? omg......transitions! the hairs on my arm & deafening pounding my heartrate elevated triggered by the imagery of 7:49 transition.... this is physiological building blocks (no pun/topical) of every groundbreaking panic/anxiety associative dis-"order"

The comments are cringe.

​@@On_the_DL_no kidding. I was 13 when this happened and i was home home with my brother all night watching this and our parents weren't home

@jesseann4700 That must had been one hell of an experience. I'm from Denmark, I was 15 at the time, and I remember walking past the multimedia room at the school around 2-3 PM our time. A teacher and some students was looking at the big screen, and I asked what movie they watched. They didn't answer, and in a couple of seconds, I knew what was going on. Primarily from the horror on their faces.

you could tell he so badly wanted to go off the air, and let the right people handle it at 10:23

I don’t know anyone who was murdered that day, but every year on the anniversary, i keep an eye on the time. When it’s the time of the attacks, collapses, i stop what I’m doing, close my eyes, and pray for healing for those affected. My deepest condolences to you.

A high school friend of mine was working on the south tower that day. He was one of only a handful of twins to die that day. A big loss for all that knew him. Cheers Sean…

From one bunny to another *hug* I was 22 when this happened and I didn't see the news until 20hrs afterwards. I'm in Western Australia. I still can't comprehend the callousness of humans nor the scar left on NYC, it's residents and the people who lost loved ones. On the flip side, the compassion shown to fellow humans during and after that event, ❤

@@velvetfaerie same mate. In Melbourne and THIS just affects me like NO other HORROR in history! It was early hours on wed morn 12th sep when this came on EVERY station! I was exhausted from working all night and turned tv off not realizing what a big deal this was! Woke up 8 hours later to find chaos EVERYWHERE on t.v.! Devastating wen I FINALLY found out what happened!!! Many mates watched all night and morning!

😞

I love your comment. It’s so true. Kelly was literally speechless in every sense of the word. I was 12 when it happened and actually went to school in lower Manhattan; but it was a good 30 min walk away from the WTC so although I knew what happened, the teachers and faculty scrambled to call our parents and keep our minds on other things. It’d been 2 decades and seeing this footage will FOREVER be chilling. I can only imagine the shockwave of emotion of seeing it live. Like you said, Kelly held it together better than most. Imagine doing a show you do every day live in front of a studio audience of 200-300 people and then having to see an image like this and STILL managing to keep composure on camera. Kudos to her for real

@@tmalone2530 Wow, even for you though too! You were very young when this all took place & to be in the same city! That must’ve made you feel sick to your stomach.. What resilience you must have and everyone else who’s had to witness that firsthand 😔 the ride home from school must’ve been hell with all the debris.. anytime I see footage like this it never fails to astonish me that it even happened in the first place 🙏🏽 I feel for everyone involved & lives lost that day 💔 so so unfortunate..

Yes she did. Considering her child was in school and not with her since it was his first day of school, she must have been frantic trying to reach her husband.

How about all the flag flying afterwards. Then the Saudi’s were let off the hook.

They complemented each other so well. Beautiful reporting duo. Kelly was relatable and validated our feelings during such a confusing time. You just don't get to see that kind of raw emotion in news reporting, but God did we need it. Regis knew he had to be the rock in that moment, while millions looked on, and he handled it with grace. A strong man and true professional.

they all loved it... she got wet too

How far was the studio from the world trade center

​@@dally8399 I don't know but I don't think she was worried about herself. After the second plane hit many of us were worried about our family and friends and the possibility of war.

Would not be surprised if she knew people who worked in those towers. She’s probably thinking of them too.

It was the eeriest feeling that day…I heard about it on a radio station while taking my kids to our local carousel. It was like time jus stood still…it was incomprehensible…your mind couldn’t wrap around it…

You know it was an inside job by now?

Bla bla bla

@@patrickw9706 Another internet tough guy patrick.

@@patrickw9706 Kind of pathetic don't you think? You look old enough to be a father. Try setting an example for your children if that's at all possible. I doubt it though.

​@@patrickw9706more like scumbag for life

We watched the coverage at lunchtime (when I got to work) at my first real office job, and after lunch my boss expected us all to get back to work. My ear was glued to NPR on my desk radio, all the while thinking “How in the world do you actually expect us to get any work done today?”

My birthday is September 10, 1979. I turned 22 the day before. Kinda ruins a man's birthday, but of course nothing like the many lives that were taken and their family members and friends, whose entire lives were ruined.

I knew that Regis Philbin had died, but I didn't know that Peter Jennings had also

The good 'ol days.

There was social media, it just wasn't as pervasive, as instant, as accessible and affordable, &, as sophisticated, as it is now.

@@thetruthisthelight0910In 2001? I think it was just MySpace at the time unless I forgot.

I mean there were forums and online chatrooms. I actually wonder if people have logs of those... would be interesting to see peoples live chatting of the event.

No social media on cell phones

@cak813 Same here. 😢😢 That was one day I don't think _any_ of us will ever forget where we were when that happened. There's a 9/11 tribute video (set to the song "New York Minute" by Don Henley). It brings tears to my eyes every time. It shows actual footage of how innocent/normal the day in NY began....and then the moment the planes hit, and then footage of the people of NY in disbelief of what just happened. Here is the link in case you've never seen it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4UdW7fRDyNo.html The title of the video is ""N.Y. Minute" a 10th Anniversary Video for 9/11" and it's on the 'TheRealTurk182' RU-vid channel.

I've heard that there are videos from high up in the WTC taken by a man that died that day as well as a bunch of other videos that show much more than we've ever seen but it's being held as evidence against the mastermind in the trial against him. May be another two decades before we even get to see it. And it PISSES me off that monster is still on trial! It shouldn't take this long! This is the one time I'd say bring back public execution in the US. We didn't get to see Bin laden die or even see him dead but we need closure with Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.

As the Hindenberg and The Station fire.

I was in 4th grade and we just got back into recess when I heard my classmates talking about something in NY while we were in line waiting for our teacher. Then when we got into our classroom she turned on the TV and saw about 5 mins of it right after the second plane hit. Right before lunch the principal announced on the intercom a moment of silence and then forbade all classrooms to keep all TV’s and radios off for the rest of the day. She must of known what was going on and didn’t want us kids panicking. I’ll never for get that horrible day.

There's only one word that struck me after the 2nd plane hit: TERROR. Not "terrorist", just abject TERROR. I had no frame of reference for this tragic situation. My elderly parents did though. As children, they lived in London, England during WW2. sleeping in bomb shelters, carrying gas masks to school, the terror they knew then returned. We all settle down a little when all planes were ordered to land at the nearest airport and the sky was quiet. I'll never forget how beautifully blue and clear the skies were that morning. As for the repeated showing of the 2nd plane caused young children to believe it was happening over and over again, not understanding what they saw on tv. I miss Regis. He was the best at ad libbing during crisis. 💔

He started smoking cigarettes again that day. 😟

@@Reclining_SpudsI was just thinking that. When he told us about his cancer he said 9/11 made him start smoking again. So heartbreaking.

@@cards0486 indeed. 😒

Peter J has started smoking again because of this day

​@carlaaxelson6338 no shit... they said thst 10 times..dont need ur 11th u doughnut

It's hard for me to fathom that young people don't know what life was like before 9/11. A plane as a murder weapon. The burning buildings. The sickening horror like you were being punched in the stomach. The screams, the buckling knees, staring at the screens for hours, days. Our world truly changed that day and has never been the same since.

The millennium ended on 9/11 2001 not December 31st 1999.

Why did the video get cut off just before the first collapse?

I think US is very dangerous to live in. I was born and raised in Europe/Germany. Lived for a while in the US. But Europe is changing as well now- we have lots of (illegal) refugees here and there is no border control whatsoever...everyone and I mean EVERYONE can enter Germany by only saying 'Asylm' and we have to keep these ppl and can't send them back. It's horrible, totally irresponsible from our Politicans. People say that lots of men (most likely from north African countries want to invate Germany/Europe. I'm scared as heck. Let's pray we won't experience terror attacks here in Germany or any other European country, cuz that would cause a 3rd world war. Lots of ppl are so ignorant and don't see the reality. 😢😮

@@HelloHello-xm1ekyeah the US is pretty dangerous. Don’t get me wrong, there are worse places but there are also better places. Hell we can’t even go a week without a mass shooting. It’s gotten to the point I rarely leave my home for fear of being shot

​@@QAlba1074Because the tape is of the hour the show aired. Tower 2 came down just at the end of the hour.

​@@HelloHello-xm1ekand if you voice concern about illegal immigration, people label you as racist or hateful.
