British Couple Reacts to BOATLIFT - An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience 

My Dad was rescued by boat that day. On one of the Ferrys. Until the day he died, 6 years ago, he said it was the most proud he has ever felt to be an American. He said he knew the country would recover when he saw civilians coming to help them in their own boats right into the danger of the unknown. Thanks for telling me that story Dad❤

Vincent Ardolino (Amberjack Captain) is what all humans should be. I recently learned that he passed away in 2018. Such a loss for humanity. That man was a legend and had a huge heart. Such a hero. All of the people on those rescue boats are heroes.

As an American, I can only say, "We are not unique. Sometimes we do good, and sometimes we do bad. This time we did good."

I was 30 years old. My kids were at school. My husband had just got off work. We were watching the morning news when it happened. We could see the towers behind the news person. As we were watching a plane hit the tower and they didn't react at first. We both said"What the Fudge( only it wasn't fudge)!" We were stunned. I watched until I had to leave for nursing school. When I got to school they had closed for the rest of the day. We live in Arkansas but no one knew what was happening. By the time I got home my kids got home. They had told them at school. We watched it on tv. My husband and I have been volunteer firefighters for 23 years. It made our hearts hurt. We remember and do our best.

Our country is not divided as much as certain people and the media want you to believe. I see people loving and helping each other everyday. All day. My husband travels the country for work. He constantly sees people serving, helping and loving their neighbors in every state.

I was 18 when this happened. I watched it all happen live. I watched the second plane hit. I watched people jump hundreds of feet to their death to escape the fire. I watched both towers come down. As an American, even though I am not from New York, I can't see pictures or watch videos of this day without anger, anxiety, sadness, and every other emotion come flooding over me. I can never forget this.

I was 44 years old when this happened. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know about the boatlift. I'm grateful for your video. I'll never forget that day and watching this makes me cry. Thank you.

The son of a friend of mine worked in the second tower. When the first tower got hit, he started down. His boss told him to get back to work, because they hadn't given permission to evacuate. His reply was basically screw you. He then took off, and survived.

I'm Australian and was 24 when this happened, just watching the boats going to help it gives me chills, as everyday people came together to help. Whenever a country or your own does that it really shows the good in humanity

I blubbered like a beach watching this. I remember the exact moment this happened. First on a radio station, then a call from my cousin. His dad was on one of the planes. Tough night. We went to a local bar and closed it. The owners picked up everything! I'll never forget, but I've never heard this part of the story. Feed Love! Starve hate. 🤘

A few days after 9/11, when all air traffic except military planes was still halted, I remember noting how quiet it was outside. There were no airplanes coming and going from the nearby regional airport. There were no contrails in the sky. However, there was ONE plane flying overhead - a B-2 Stealth Bomber from a nearby US Air Force Base! My kids, some neighbors, and I were all outside when they flew over, and we waved and cheered and cried. Never had I felt such a profound sense of patriotism as when that beautiful aircraft was flying overhead. The pilot must have noticed us, because as the plane came back around, it dropped -very- low, and the bomb bay doors swung open to give us an incredible view into the penultimate symbol of freedom flying overhead. In that moment, I knew I was safe so long as we had Airmen willing to fly into the face of danger. 20 years later, I’m crying tears of pride as I type this. The emotions come right to the surface every time I recall the events of those days. Also, 20 years later, my baby boy is proudly serving as a US Airman! 🇺🇸

Still to this day, 911 stirs a lot of emotions in me, and one gesture has stayed with me forever, and that is when I saw Buckingham Palace playing our National Anthem. That simple and yet powerful gesture of support and compassion meant the world to us. I will forever have the outmost respect and gratitude to the British people because of it. Thank you.

Another wonderful story is the people of Gander, Newfoundland, Canada & the citizens of central Newfoundland. 38 widebody aircraft landed at the airport (a former large WWII airbase). A town of less than 10,000 in a very isolated place came running from every direct to feed and house 6600 people from those planes. As an American I will always be profoundly grateful for these people and hope they helped complete strangers. There is a wonderful play titled "Come From Away" about this.

I think every American can remember what they were doing at that time. I still cry a little but know if it was not for the courage of Americans many more lives would have been lost. We are a resilient people. I am very proud of our love and commitment to one another. You two are a very cute couple. Keep the love!

Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. I'm American and I remember every single second of that day. It was absolutely terrifying, but I'm so proud of how Americans came together to support each other. It was both our worst nightmare and our shining moment.

It’s so crazy how you watch the original and you cry and you feel like your hearts being squeezed, and then you watch other humans react to it and it’s even more heart wrenching but also comforting. Someone should write a thesis on reaction videos.

Just the overwhelming response from boat owners and captains really is amazing to see. I hadn’t seen this story until this year. It’s amazing and great to have a positive story to counteract the negative

I had recently turned 7. We watched the news in my 1st grade class and no one knew what was going on but we knew it was really bad based on the teachers reactions and one by one kids parents started picking them up. My parents worked so I went to my babysitters after school like normal. My most vivid memory of all of it was my dad picking me up from there and saying “You will never forget this day. You’ll be hearing about this for a long long time” trying to make sense of it to me. He was right, of course.

I didn’t know about this. When it happened I was asleep on my friend’s couch in Oakland California and he woke me up yelling from his bedroom that his dad called and said we were under attack. I turned on the tv about 30 seconds before the second plane hit. We couldn’t imagine what was happening. Feeling sad and angry at what was happening in New York, we started wondering if there was about to be an attack where we were in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m glad that you brought this to light. It’s a good reminder that we will always come together in time of strife no matter our daily differences.

I will never forget that day.. I am an American and a native Pennsylvanian.. I still relive that day. I went and picked my daughter up from the school and had my 2 yr old son. I think we were in shock for the 1st few days. I am in the medical field and day heart said to load up and go to New York to help in anyway I could. We did gather truckloads of water,.medical supplies, food to be taken. To have it happen also less that 50 miles from home in Pennsylvania also.. so heartbreaking and also so proud of our people..

The Captain of the Amberjack V died a couple of years ago. I’m sure he serves on Heavens crew as a hero. The determination and courage seen on their faces is absolutely amazing and we’re proud of what we can do when push comes to shove. I remember grabbing my flag, running out of My house and planting it in my front yard, screaming for the bastards to come get me. I wasn’t afraid and I wasn’t going to be afraid of them. You should hear the story of a small Canadian town who can through for flights stalled there after 9/11

As a member of the Coast Guard for over 18 years, I didn't even know the extent as to what was involved in this... This event is what lead me to join - the need to help others. It's amazing what people will do, as you two said, no matter the background - no matter the differences - when lives are in danger, people just come together.

On Sept 10th i had just bought my first camaro and i was excited to go to work the next day to show off my camaro to my friends. I got up on Sept 11th, got ready to go to work and walked out the door. I got in my car and turned on the Bose stereo system to listen to my music on the way. It came over the radio that the towers had been attacked and was coming down. I sat there staring at my stereo and then just burst into tears cuz i knew people was dying and suffering. I sat there n cried for about a half an hour. I started to work and when i got there they sent us all home.

I was in the 5th or 6th Grade when this happened I was in Math class and my principal told the whole school to turn on the TV and we all watched and cried...I will never ever forget this all the way from Texas to New York to everyone who had family in 9/11 may your family Rest In Peace and Thank You for your Service ❤

One of the hero stories that wasn't mentioned in this was the John J Harvey. She was a retired harbor fire boat. When the evacuation started her owners took the Harvey down to boatlift people out. Midway through a trip she was radioed by the fire department to ask if her pumps still worked. She was then asked to drop off her passengers and return to the site, reactivated and given her old designation Marine 2, and tied up along side other fireboats to pump water for 80 hours to help fight the fires.

I remember my mom telling me stories, I was 1.5 years old, my brother was 3.5. My dad worked in the Avon skyscraper which was only a few blocks away from the World Trade Center. He was somehow able to catch a ride straight north with some other business people to Syracuse. We have family up there. My mom was scared for his life, she couldn't get in contact with him (no cell phones really at the time, at least he didn't have a great one), and prayed he was safe and that she wouldn't be a single mother overnight. I can't imagine the fear.

I was a senior in high school when 9/11 happened. I remember hearing about the ferries transporting people from Manhattan. But I never knew how massive the boat rescue was.

I was in college in Georgia when this happened. I grew up in NYC and felt so far away and useless. Just two weeks before it happened at the end of Aug I was there and took a picture with friends and WTC was behind us. Surreal. Phones were down and couldn't connect with family. But I was so proud of New Yorkers and their spirit that day.

I was in the 10th grade in my biology class when I got the news. Our school shut everything down after school that's how I knew how serious it was. Such a terrible day to remember.

This still makes me cry today. This was such a hard day to go through. I was at work when this happened and I was out of town, in another state so it was scary. I had a long drive home at the end of the day. It was eerie. People who were able went home and stayed there for the rest of the day. I just remember on my drive home there were no cars on the road, very few. This was for sure a scary time in the US but we all pulled together and it was a time I can remember we were one people and stood together. I just want to say that your love and appreciation for the people of the USA really touches me. I love the UK and the people there as well. We are all brothers and sisters.

This story shows the good that humans are capable of. In unimaginable tragedy and (probably) terror, these brave people took their vessels to pick up people, to help in any way they could. It truly was both the best and worst of humanity in one single, world changing event.

I've seen this many times. Maybe it was good that you two were too young to remember that horrible day in our nation's history. All of us who were grownups , hit us like we were hit with a sledge hammer. Never before or since were we as close as Americans will ever be. Nobody was a stranger that day. We loved one another like ever before

I was a little girl when it happened. In elementary school. We were checking last night’s math homework when the school principal came on over the loud speaker and told the teachers to turn on the news. My class watched as the second plane hit. I was so little that it’s hard to remember how I felt, but I remember my classmates screaming and crying. The teacher tried to calm us down by letting us play in the toy area, but I remember me and a little girl in my class discussing how the planes would kill us too. I’ll never forget that. I carried my fear of planes into adulthood.

I was a elementary school teacher on a US military base during 9/11. That morning I arrived at the gate of the base and all the soldiers were armed and wouldn't talk to us or let us on base. As more and more cars parked by the gate, teachers got out and wondered what was happening. A teacher ran to us and said "we've been attacked". We ran to our cars and turned on the radio to hear what had happened.We went home to wait to hear what to do, I remember watching the repeat of the attack over and over on the tv. I called loved ones and friends. Three days later the base and the school opened up. It was so surreal. There were armored vehicles everywhere. Dogs checked our cars as we came in. My students were terrified. They kept asking me... why?

Never forget! I was a police officer (not in NY), and husband a firefighter at the time. That one day no matter where you were in our country was felt deep. I do remember every police/fire being put on high alert for the unexpected. I resigned 2 years later, husband went on to serve 32 years! Much love and respect to all victims/ survivors of this most tragic day of at least my lifetime.

There are thousands of untold stories from that day, or stories that should be heard more. The one I'll briefly touch on: The rescue dogs. The dogs that searched in the aftermath found so many dead bodies that they were becoming unresponsive and depressed. A few wouldn't even go near the site. It got to the point where policemen and fire department guys would go up and lay on the ground for the dogs to find.. to give them a glimmer of hope.

21 years later and I am still pissed! I grew up with a dad who was a Volunteer Firefighter and EMT, and I spent 12 years as an unarmed security officer so I felt this deeply.

I was born after 9/11 but i have so much respect for those who gave their lives to try and save others. This video made me tear up but it shows people can come together and help each other

I live in Texas, I very much remember that day, and I never knew about the boat rescues. Thank you so much for doing this❤

Even today i still remember where i was and what i was doing when this happened. My High School Principal was fired because she wouldnt let the students watch the news while this was happening. My JROTC Colonel even disobeyed her orders to not watch. He said that this is my generations Pearl Harbor. i agree 100%. My father who is former US Navy lost friends in the Pentagon attack.

So powerful and a shame this rescue was never televised or talked about. I watched the TV for days and never heard about this. Truly an inspiration

This was one of few times that Americans were completely united

I still have trouble sharing what it was like to be in New York on that day and being desperate for my wife to get out of Manhattan. I’ll just say that these people saved lives. There are still people dying to this day from lung diseases from breathing that horrible air and debris in, especially first responders. Getting people out was absolutely necessary.

A friend of mine was on one of those ferry's after he watched the second plane hit from a building on the same level he was on..rate in front of him. Watching people kill themselves by jumping out the windows on purpose, because there was no other option, was beyond anything I can say.

I was 5 years old when 9/11 happened and while I don’t remember the details and the magnitude of the attack, I remember the mood of the situation. I remember my mom and dad being visibly troubled by something and it stuck with me forever. We’ll never forget

I was born a year after that horrible day and when I was old enough to truly understand what happened I broke down and just felt fear, anger, hate for the people responsible for the attack, and an overwhelming sadness that had me in tears. Just the number of people who didn’t care if they didn’t make it while they were saving lives and that were helping show just how people will come together in a critical moment to help as much as they possibly can. We remember the lives lost that day but we honor those who gave their own lives to save others. “A country divided can not stand alone we must lift each other up and rebuild towards a bright tomorrow”. God bless America 🇺🇸

Always brings back a lot of memories, just joined the NYPD just over two months previously. Absolutely surreal day.

If you guys haven't seen The Man in the Red Bandana or Operation Yellow Ribbon, you definitely should. They're both very inspiring.

Heroes all of them. Heroes. Like the first responders, while others were running for their lives, these people were running into the danger.

The Coast Guard has an unofficial motto: "You have to go out, you don't have to come back." That day hundreds of civilian sailors lived up to that motto.

Theres a kind of documentary called 9/11 Cleared for Chaos that goes into the air traffic controllers and pilots who were all working that day and how the total shutdown of American airspace forced Canadian air traffic to land all those planes coming from Europe. Most planes landed in Newfoundland and a notable aspect of it was the town of Gander, and their willingness to help the passengers actually spawned a musical called Come From Away which I honestly recommend at least listening to the soundtrack of it.

Toughest day of my life for sure. Still brings back tears and sad feelings. I had not heard of this until this video had originally came out. What a great way for people to come together.

THANK YOU for reacting to this. The love, respect and sentiment that you both share is so humbling. Much love from Toppenish, Washington State, USA. 🇺🇸❤🇬🇧

I am from Southern Ohio and I'm currently 46 years old and it might be an American Tragedy but still touches my heart that the whole world seem to freeze and in that one moment stand still and to have the queen and the other people singing our national anthem it's just something that will always touch my heart ♡ we loved your queen like she was our Queen too she will be greatly loved and is one of the greatest Queens England ever had or probably ever will have and all the Wisdom that she had is just gone with her too ♡ 🥰😍❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🎺💖🕊️🎉🎊🪅🪅 long live the Queen's Legacy may she be forever remembered ♡

I had plans to go to a Yankee game in the Bronx that day....my friend had never been to the world trade center.. I planned for us to be at the WTC for the first elevator to the observation deck, which would have found us trapped in the tower...but before we caught the train into the city my friend had to stop by her job and that caused us to be late... And saved our lives.

I'm from America and saw it happen in real time on TV. It was horrifying. I had not heard about the boats. Thank you so much for showing this to us.

I was 23 years old and living on the west coast. I remember that day clearly. I don't remember hearing about this boat lift though. I guess I never really thought about how people got off of the island. Props to the Coast Guard for making that call and to ALL of those who helped.

Im American and had turned 18 in July of 2001. Your reaction was so sweet and considerate! Two videos in and I've subscribed!

They jumped on the boats. They knew they had to get off that island. They knew they had to get out. The people doing this were doing it without being told. It was amazing. Our version of the little boats.

I love this story. I don’t think a lot of Americans know about it. I just learned recently about it. Always makes me cry. I will never forget where I was that day and hearing the news.

Having been there that day …. I can honestly say NY saw the very best of ourselves and the nation that day and for months after . There was so much kindness

I was there. Father of two new babies....Not until 2 years ago did I ever go back, and when I did, I was almost literally dragged there by my partner. But on my children's life...I will never go back again...nor visit that museum. I saw enough with my own eyes. The boatlift you just watched saved my life that day.

Love you guys. We all remember where we were this terror attack happened. I was in freshman year high school. My teacher who is actually now a friend of mine, got word and we turned on the TV. We were thinking a small Cessna type plane hit, until we saw the second airliner hit live. I was calling my mother who worked in the city. The phones were so overwhelmed they didn’t work. I’ve lost people in 9/11. I’ve had friends who lost parents. My grandfather was sitting on his deck in edgewater NJ…he saw the second plane hit. Terrible day.

I lost my cousin in this attack and my mom lost a good friend. This day will forever be engraved in my brain and ill never forget it. Thank you for doing this reaction

Not many people know this story here in the U.S. This is why I share it on Facebook and Twitter every year on 9/11. Thank you for sharing your reaction.

I live in New Jersey, about 40-50 miles southwest of New York city. In that area there are 3 major airports, including one here in Jersey that one of the planes left out of, and at any given time the skies are full of aircraft going into or coming out of them. That morning while at work I noticed the skies grow awfully quiet. Suddenly on the radio I heard that a plane hit one of the towers and all flights across the country were grounded. From where I was I could see the plume of smoke rising after they fell. This boatlift was something I wasn't aware of at the time,

A former teacher of mine, now a good friend was on the water that day. After the initial boatlift, he refueled and spent the next 15 hours shuttling people from one port to another so they could get back home. A professor I had years back was going hunting when he was called in. He was SWAT in a town 2 hours from NYC and the team was going there to help with search and rescue. He watched the second tower fall from a boat as they headed into the city. A good friend of mine lost his father in tower one and his brother at the Pentagon, both police officers. I was too young to understand what happened on 9/11, but growing up in NJ, outside of a military base at that, I've heard the stories of hundreds who would never be the same. And I retell their stories as to make sure we never forget.

I remember This day as if it just happened yesterday It was a very emotional day that to this day I have not fully have gotten over. Just watching your VBlog made my heart ache again. I am very proud of the boat captains, how strangers were helping strangers with out a thought in their mind that something may happen to them everyone just grabbed someone and pulled or lead them to safety didn't care about their nationality or race American were a whole that day no matter if you were at ground zero or a thousand miles away. This was a day we all cried as a whole and rose up strong and flew high like an eagle.

I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. This is an amazing video and not widely reported. I've seen it a few times and cry every time.

I'm old enough to remember this. I was off work that day and was watching it on TV and was stunned/shocked when the 2nd plane hit and the towers collapsed. I just stood there in front of my TV crying. Up until then the major thing that had happened in my lifetime was the American hostages in Iran, President Reagan being shot, and space shuttle Challenger exploding...but this directly affected so many thousands of people. It was just unfathomable. You younger people need to be sure to tell the true history to future generations.

As an American 22 years later, I can honesty say the anger in me is still fresh every time I see the video of the planes hitting or the buildings collapsing. God bless these boatmen for their bravery and good deeds!

Every time I see this, it brings tears. Not only tears of sadness, but also tears of pride for humanity. 💔 ❤️

Dear Beasleys - I'm watching you two years (roughly) after you posted this, and I'm delighted with your commentary. I'm a native "Noo-Yawkuh" and I was working for the US Government in DC at the time this happened. I clearly remember seeing the damage done at the Pentagon building, and that was much easier to deal with than what happened in NYC. Thanks very much for your thoughts on Boatl;ift. All the best.

thanks for putting this out there. its a story that needs to be told more in the US as well. i share it every year on 9/11. every year many people comment they havent heard of it. I was a young 23 year old professional working in lower manhattan at the time (luckily i flew to chicago for work on 9/10/2001). This story and many more still bring tears to my eyes every single time. I hope the youth of today never experience it, but take the time to try to understand and put themselves in the shoes of people that day, not what we know now, but that day as it happened when none of us knew what was coming next, and what people we knew in NYC, Boston, DC, and others that were flying might be dead or alive. I love that you two took the time to understand what it might have been like that day, and the next few days when images of people literally jumping from the 110th floor of a building were on the cover of every major magazine.

9/11 is something that still puts an anxious chill in my chest whenever I watch or read about it for too long. I was actually about 7 when this happened; I was at school and I just remember all of a sudden everyone was turning the TVs on in their classrooms, and other teachers were running to tell other people to turn their TVs on. I, obviously, didn’t understand the severity of it at the time, but knowing that I saw it as it was happening is disturbing. I have never actually sat down and watched the news footage from that day. I don’t know if I will ever be able to. It is definitely the worst tragedy to have happened in my lifetime and yeah, it’s very hard to believe that it was real.

I lived 20 minutes from where flight 93 went down, had a friends relative watch it happen. A day I can never forget.

I remember it like it was yesterday. That day will be with me forever. Like it will be for all Americans I'm sure. I have many friends around the world who have said how that day affected them in their countries. They aren't Americans but they are human beings and 9/11 affected many many people on the human level. None of them ever tried to say they understood what we Americans were going through just that they hurt for us and that the horrors of that day would never be forgotten. I have always appreciated that. Thank you for reacting. I realize you were only two years old when 9/11 happened but you have both shown real compassion in this reaction. I was 8 months pregnant, home alone with my four year old son when my husband called from work and said he was on his way home and that I should turn on the TV. No singular day before that had ever made me feel so many different emotions simultaneously. I'll never ever forget that day.

Great video, thank you for watching, reacting. I'm from N.J.USA, Even though I watched this horrendous event happen live on television, 9/11 videos still brings tears to my eyes.🇺🇲

This event is one of those things permanently seared into my memory, I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing, same with the Challenger space shuttle disaster…

Thank you for sharing this video. I am originally from NJ. I remember this day as if it happened yesterday. Two of my cousins were rescued in the boat lift.

There is an actor here in the US that is popular named Steve Buscemi (Tv series Boardwalk Empire,also was in the movie Armageddon) who was at one time a New York city fireman.On 911, without announcing it to the world,he went back to New York and rejoined his old squad.He spent weeks there, working 12 hour days rescuing survivors and digging through the rubble recovering remains.He never mentioned it to anyone and nobody knew he did it until someone from the fire station released 3 or 4 photos of him and some of the other men from the fire station.Most people would have gone to make speeches and say"look what I did,I am so special"but not him.He didn't want anyone to know about it because he felt it wasn't about him,it was about the people who were injured,killed and survived.

living in nyc, just a few miles from downtown manhattan, I can tell you that everyone, and I mean everyone I know, remembers exactly where they were on this day, what they were doing and every detail of this day. no matter where you were in nyc, people could be found standing in the street, just staring towards Manhattan in disbelief. Being only in elementary school at the time, I can even remember the weather & it was a gorgeous day.

That day was horrible ! So many of my fellow Americans lost and gave their lives that day . Even when I see 9/11 it's more than just never forget . It was heart breaking !

It was horrendous, I was almost 19 living in the middle of the US, to be there is unimaginable, these images bring tears even 21 years later, just 3 nights ago our fire chief referenced the 343 who died trying to help others

That "report together valiantly" gets me every time. I was in school when we saw it. All of us young kids seeing people jumping/falling out of the destroyed buildings, wondering why this was happening.

There is something about people on boats. Rescuing anyone in danger seems to be something in their blood. It doesn't matter if it is a small rowboat or a large ship, if they see someone who needs help they go to it. The Dunkirk evacuation, the plane that went down in the Hudson, 9-11, many accounts of boats in distress in yacht races where the nearest boat immediately stopped racing to go help, and so many others.

Every time I see a video of 9/11 or whenever 9/11 comes around I break down in tears. Although it has been 20 years it’s still very fresh in my mind. It’s like it happened yesterday . I was 11 years old when it happened and from that moment on I wanted to join the military but later on in life I got medical issues that stopped me from joining all my friends joined and I’m so happy or them and I will always support our troops no matter what. God bless the USA 🇺🇸

40yo man from the US, husband and father of 2, cried today during most of this having never seen these heroic acts. Thank you

I remember the day this happened!! I was 20 yo at the time.. I woke up early..turned on the early morning news... and the first plane had just hit minutes before I turned the tv on... so I seen the second plane hit on live tv... and knew right then.. America was under attack!! I Will NEVER forget that moment!!Feels like it was yesterday!!

I'll never forget it, I was sitting in dental and Camp Pendleton. I knew right away my enlistment was about to change. One great thing about this country is that when things go crazy we all come together no matter what our political stance is etc.

I was 9 years old when this happened. I remember all the kids getting pulled out of school. And I live in New Jersey, directly across the bay from Manhattan, I remember my mom driving past the beach front after she had taken me out of school and just looking across the bay and seeing the black sky of smoke .

I am so proud of my country. I served in the U.S.Navy which honored to help defend this land.

And on 9/13 2001, Queen Elizabeth II broke a 200+ yr tradition, of playing our national anthem in front of Buckingham Palace, I will never forget the love and support the Queen and other countries did to show their support, R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II and R.I.P to those who perished during 9/11 attacks, may neither be forgotten ❤️🙌🏻

I was in second grade and at home on bed rest for a lacerated kidney. My aunt brought me McDonald’s breakfast and we watched the whole thing together. I remember that entire day, it was surreal and scary

Thank you so much for sharing this video - a favorite of mine and such a testament to the human spirity. I'll never forget that day!

Please watch the video “9/11 as Event Unfold” I’m over here crying in my kitchen watching this with y’all! Much love from the U.S.

As a Midwesterner (near Chicago), I've not always been the biggest fan of those Damn Yankees from New York. But they sure made us proud during that terrible time; they gave food, clothing, shelter , money, even the blood from their veins, to help total strangers. May God bless New York!

Every single American suffered that day. I remember the second plane attacking the towers. My brother was a first responder to the Pentagon. I definitely remember that morning so well. I was 21 years old. My boyfriend was from Manhattan. My roommate was from Brooklyn. Was a very traumatic morning.

I grew up within a 2hr drive of New York City and I had never heard of this event until last year... a full 19 years afterwards. But I still remember that day very well.

I’d love to see you guys react to the story of the plane that crashed into the field in PA. 9/11 was an awful day but the stories absolutely shine with human resilience and heros.
