Call to Service: The Final Rescue of 9/11 

It never ceases to amaze me that hard working ordinary people will turn into World Class Hero's to rescue others in trouble. Condolences to families of those Hero's.

22 years feels like yesterday To all of those that run towards danger when we’re running away, thank you ❤

Imagine the guts it takes to run into something like that, brave brave people💚🙏

My young teen son was home sick that day and the events of that heinous day set his life’s path. He is quickly climbing the ranks of 1 of the national police services with the aim of focusing on national security and he lives the mantra: “Not on my watch.” This response from him is not uncommon among his age peers and many others. May nothing remotely similar ever happen on their or anyone else’s watch.

It is 2023. The first-hand stories of these courageous, caring individuals demonstrates the highest level of humanity - that they were willing to sacrifice their lives that others would be saved. May God bless them with peace in their hearts and minds as 9/11 approaches yet again.

Maybe they were “just doing their job,” but it takes uncommon courage to willingly put yourself in danger to try and save another person. To me, they are all heroes- any person who did what they could in the chaos and fear- those who made the ultimate sacrifice and those that made it out alive. Never forget 🇺🇸

My deepest condolences to all the families of the victims of this unfortunate attack, a big hug to the American people, know that I am with you, greetings from Argentina.

I think everyone needs to see this.. Like he said ""we were ONE NATION"" this is when we were all at our saddest, confused, hurt, lost and angry but WE ALL stood together red, blue, purple, yellow it didn't matter. People need to see this. We need to come back together TOGETHER

i keep coming back to these lately as a reminder of what we all went through then. It was my generations pearl harbor. the death that occurred and the horrors that followed were awful but it brought us together as a nation for once. it's so frustrating to see where we are right now as a country.the hate we have for each other right now. the sacrifices ppl made that day and after for what? more violent and more divided then ever, detached and no longer a community.

It still hurts 22 years later to see these images 😢 To many people have forgotten the horrors of that day, to many people haven't been educated about these events 😢

I remember going to the towers 4 days before this happened. RIP to all the victims 😢❤

Never Forget this terrible day and respect those who serve in USA. Men and Women as Firefighters, Policemens (i’m à French Cop), paramedics and military corps they give their live to allow civilians to live in peace and security. God bless the USA. Thx 5.11 for this moment deepest sad.

Wonderful people. I watched this horror with my civil engineer husband from Wales UK. He said without doubt those buildings will fall. He has since passed but I will never ever forget. Will never get my head around such awfulness. NYC folk you are amazing. Xxxxx

Thank you all for your service to the city.

The 90s. Was the last great decade. After 911. The last 20 plus years have been dreadful 👋

My heart aches for those who were lost and the survivors who feel guilty for the stroke of fate that saved them....

I was in 8th grade when this whole deal went down and I remember standing up from my table and put my hand on my heart as I would for the national anthem, still today I feel sorry for the families who lost their loved ones, but I will forever be grateful to be an American, The people that put their lives on the line for our country just makes me want to honor them so much more and its not only just 9/11 also the people who lost their lives in the war that went on for so many years.

We lost a lot of heroes that day,when people ran away the responders ran into it true courage,🌼🥀🌼🥀❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

To me, today is the darkest September 11th day since the 20 years ago. May god bless all the first responders on that day, and rest in peace for those souls we've lost that day. I was just a young teenage boy on that day. And I will never forget. Never, ever forget.

THIS is what a hero looks like! Sexual identity, race, religion... NOTHING mattered that day except human decency and herosim.

This is too heart 💔 to watch thos after 22 years. My sincere condolences to the families that lost lived ones. Not only at the WTC, but all planes and Pentagon as well. All those that did not get to come home. All the Emergency Employees that did not make it. All that did. All my love to them. I ask God to still heal and comfort your 💔's. This is all too hard to watch without 😭.

We are so proud to work with a company that honors are 1st Responders and military. Thank You.

God bless all the victims, heartbreaking💔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏

They say most people remember where they were on this day and time. I'm from Birkenhead Wirral UK 🇬🇧, 36 at the time and finished early shift so straight to my identical twin sister's home to visit as usual and see the little ones. Tv on and incomprehensible what we were seeing, guessing the children didn't know why we were so upset and crying. Hard to explain how in awe i am for all of you amazing people, and to the the real people and children who died that day. I still watch historical events as they should never be forgotten. Thank you for sharing, sending best wishes to all.

There is no Thank you big enough for hero's like this. You guys are truly amazing, and the world owes you a true debt of gratitude. God Bless you all

We were "one nation." Look how far we have fallen. What happened, America 🇺🇸 .

Thank you 5.11 for not forgetting! We will NEVER forget.

Never let the memory of 9/11 be diluted, denigrated, twisted, manipulated, dismissed or destroyed. Never.

God Bless you all! Thank you for your courage. 22 years later and all my senses still remember. The smells, the taste, things seen with the naked eye that can never be unseen. I had the pleasure of knowing one of the officers on your team, Rodney G. He was a stand-up human being. Never forget.

My deepest condolences to all those who have been affected by this senseless act of evil. This day changed my life and I wasn't even directly involved. I was a 13 year old Canadian kid in school. Alot of people lost their innocence that day. I cannot begin to understand the depths of sorrow these families feel. My profound and heartfelt thanks to the first responders and everyday human beings who dropped everything to help. You are truly heroes. May those we lost rest in peace and may those who loved them find comfort in their memories together ❤

There was the strongest feeling of unity I've ever experienced before 9/11. Now it's long gone. My deepest condolences to all the victims and their families.

A big hug to American people.

Yes Thank You 5.11, I couldn’t help but to get emotional watching this video.

such a terrible day, so many lives lost to evil. 9/11 a day that will never be forgotten ever, respect and love for all that lost their lives and my sincere condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. greetings from England.

I thought that the final survivor to be rescued was Port Authority secretary Genelle Guzman-McMillan. She was rescued 27 hours after the collapse of the North Tower.

Thank you 5.11. I couldn't help but the tears rolled down.

Salute to the great modern heroes.Deepest condolences for the bereaved families .To all the victims may their souls rest in peace.Sending prayers and hugs to all the people in USA.Love from the Philippines ♥️🙏🇵🇭

My heart is still hurting from this day; like it just happened yesterday.

Defintion of HEROS = the victims, responders and people who helped on 9/11. Forever RIP. 20 years on never forget!!!

The saddest day of my life although i was thousands of miles away at home in Wales i will never forget the news broadcast breaking in to tv programs showing the plain crashing into the towers all those innocent men women and children murdered by cowerds. Then the hero'es who gave their lives to save others. Thanks to all emergency and civilians who sevived and still suffering today

I remember getting ready for school, brushing my teeth and hearing my mom screaming in the living room! I ran out and saw the tower falling down and the second plane hitting the second tower. My mom had to fly to Chicago a few days after and I just remember CRYING bc she had to fly and I was sooo scared. This was such a devastating time :(

God bless all the first responders and all those who died that shocking day😢

After this soul destroying tragedy, I remember thinking, they will never be able to clear everything up, it was just total carnage everywhere, but they did rebuild and done such a beautiful memorial for all the victims and their families, they done there people and Americans proud, take care x

22 years this Monday 9/11.

I hope it has helped these people to talk about their accounts of 9/11. That day was felt all around the world and nobody will ever forget those lost, and the magnitude of the attack.

Every time I see these videos it feels like just yesterday. And left with so many questions that will never have answers. Not ever. 😞 My deepest sympathy to the families, friends and all of America that still hurt from that awful day !

This was beautiful to see a new perspective. 20 years of watching everything that has came out about that day. And living here my whole life , and this is a truly a beautiful piece.

My Heart goes out To you,May Almighty God, Father of Our LordJesus give Strength, i remember the day as our middle son called us and said,dad mom come see this,Our Hearts go out to you all, so sorry thats not even good enough.

5.11 Tactical you are to be commended for the great job you have done on the 20th Anniversary tribute video. Beautiful job. Your host Will Ayres did a fantastic job interviewing these courageous gentlemen. He showed compassion, respect and allowed these Hero's the space to open up and share their stories in their own way. May we as a nation NEVER FORGET the sacrifices they have made. Love 5.11

Thank you to the nurses. The medical personnel ❤️🙏🏾

Comprehension of the courage, the dedication to humanity, not just duty, is difficult. Words are also difficult. I watched TV, in horror, as I was getting ready for work that morning, 8:30, I won't ever forget. I had a little flag I grabbed as I walked out the door. I worked in a large hospital in Houston's medical center. As I was walking down the halls, people were stopping and saluting the little flag. I commend the brave souls climbing those stairs to their deaths and all those responders who were willing to risk their wn life to rescue their brothers.

2023: To watch these videos, over and over, one after another, each time the reality hits harder, as you realize what these human beings went thru. The employess, the First responders, the people on the streets. The people that fell or jumped. The buildings themelves. This whole entire disaster is beyond comprehension to this very day. I dont know how anyone or any group could ever get over and thru this, but Amerca still stands tall.

2023 & it still hurts! 🥺

We are blessed to have people like these in our societies.

Thank you so much for this video. Thank you to the heroes shown, and those they represent. And ultimate gratitude to the many, many heroes who did not make it out. Never, never forget ❤🇺🇲💙

I remember a story of 2 guys pulling up an elderly woman in a wheel chair and carrying her out unharmed. Phyically at least.

5.11, thanks for such a touching video of these examples of courage when such disaster hit us that day by terrorists. If I could sit down with those men, I would not just tell them thanks but tell them that so many of us Americans from all over love them. I will never forget what happened today 20 years ago and the horror is witnessed seeing the 2nd plane strike the tower. For what seemed like eternity, no air traffic, almost no cars on the road and disbelief, sadness, and pain felt by so many and to those of us that lost friends and family that day! Always remember!

I'm from the UK and on 9/11 I was visiting my sister who lives about ten miles from the WTC.There are about twenty houses in her street-by 11/11 almost every one had taken in a fire fighter who had travelled from all over the United States to help.Some of their colleagues had been accommodated in school gymnasiums and sports centres but those who stayed with my sister and her neighbours were treated like royalty and deservedly so.People would drive them to the pile where they'd work until their bosses forced them to stop-a phone call day or night and they'd be collected and brought back where they'd sleep until they were taken back again.When they were forced to take a little more time off,after the first week,they'd congregate together in one house,just talking.There was now a whole community of firefighters in one street.They could keep in touch with their families,have decent food and a comfortable place to sleep,not that they would have noticed where they slept.they were so tired.Some stayed for two months and their families came to visit,their fares paid for by the neighbours who had bought them clothes and everything they needed for a prolonged stay-most of the men hadn't really packed,just set off for New York as fast as possible.When they eventually did start to reluctantly go home,they were driven thereThe neighbours weren't heros,not like everyone more closely involved,but they did their bit in a small way to help out.

Damn you 5.11!!! What a video!! ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you for trying the best you can ❤❤❤

I miss 9/12. I miss everyone not caring if you were blue or red. We were Americans. We watched out for each other.

THANKS GUYS ,..... FOR ALWAYS!!!!!...👏👏👐👐👏👍✌️🙏💯🎀.

so much death and destruction. As i get older the grasp of how much was lost becomes clearer.

im gonna need ALL documentaries like this to come out before all the people at WTC that day pass away. every detail and every story from all perspectives.

they are literal heroes, beyond the line of duty even though they are retired

Never forget!

Well done thank you for producing this.

God bless you all for your huge heart and dedication, you are certainly one of a kind❤❤❤❤❤❤

Heartbreaking day for the whole world. Im from Russia and i was 26 that time and remember as today. We prayed with NYC ....

Amazing video thank you. Relive this every night in my nightmares, can’t forget the sight/smells I experienced…. God bless all those lost and all those we continue to lose and all the families effected

That was powerful. Never Forget!

And really 23 years later we never forget those who sacrificed their lives. The moment or time of South Tower collapsed after 29 minutes North Tower was collapsed.

Thanks for everything you did and will do in the future.

God bless the rescuers who went in under great risk to help those in need. Give them peace in their hearts and minds that they did their best.

*GREAT STORIES + PICTURES (STILL many unknown stories - -22 YEARS LATER!)*

Forever grateful, never forget.

Beautifully done! Thank you!

I don’t know how you Yanks got through this without being bitter. Even after 22 years I still get upset, how have you coped? My heart goes out to our cousins and to this day it still affects me but your bravery and determination to carry on, I am in awe of each and everyone of you…..R.I.P to all the people who was affected by this, to the victims you are all with your God now and each of you were brave to do what you had to do. Blessings. 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸🫶

This breaks my heart I can only imagine what these guys went thru & there families 😢it’s not heartbreak it’s heart wrenching, these beautiful souls❤❤❤

Now you think back when we were children that this didn't affect us as well

I feel very emoshional watching this after all these year empathy and condolences to all the family's who lost there love ones this tragedy I inhumane those terrorist had no rights to take these innocent people who were working this day

My deepest condolences to victims families to an unfortunate attack America faced first time.

This is beautifully done 5.11 Tactical. Thank you.

God Blesses all of you, we are forever grateful 🙏

Thank you all for your service

There's jobs, careers and callings. Working in the emergency services is a calling. It takes a special someone to do it. I couldn't because I'm a coward. And hopeless under pressure. What these men and women did to help in the face of danger, is beyond me. By that I mean I'm in awe of them and can't fathome doing what they did. I don't think people see them as the emergency services anymore but superheroes instead. I want to say a massive thank you from the world. But that doesn't seem like enough. Instead I'll say we'll NEVER forget what you did to keep us safe and to save us. Rest in Peace ladies and gentlemen of the New York emergency services who didn't make it out of this. And to those who did, we're blessed to have you here with us.

This day,Princess Diana's death and the boxing day tsunamis are truly ingrained in me just like the birth of your first born you remember everything we must learn from such events history is the best resources for our forthcoming future ❤️

Sad but beautiful story, thank you 🙏🏻 ❤ God bless them all

❤ from Canada to my 🇺🇸 friends....

Thank you!

Thank you for your service

All the services, were the face of humanity that day and for years to come, at the cost of their own lives and their families, it certainly was in their blood to put the public, over their own lives, if only all people had that inside them, the world would truly be a beautiful place ❤x

Powerful! Thank you!

I love watching videos about the NYPD during 9/11. I've watched so many of the FDNY ones and really wanted to hear more of some officers perspectives.

Since the day, I have never understood why the towers collapsed. The structure seemed like it was standing strong enough after they were struck. Yet it crumbled so fast. So many lives lost that day. It was such a heartbreaking day.

Dear God bless them all 😢❤

Condolencias y amor a todos aquellos que en un dia once como hoy pero del 2001 vivieron una pesadilla aterradora Sonia G Nielsen desde Argentina💝

As a "9/11 family member" I have to say there is nothing more impressive than September 12. Like the gentleman said, we were one nation… United, shoulder to shoulder. No one cared if you were from a red state or blue state I don't know what it's going to take for us to get back there, but for the sake of our country we need to.

RIP. GOD BLESS AMERICA

Just Legends! Show’s the best that us humans can be! Everyone is precious and amidst all the confusion,horrors and heartbreaking loss every body was standing as one! Never give up…..condolences for all of the victims and families who perished on that fateful day. X
