JC Chasez (NSync) remembers where he was on 9/11 and the days following. Help support Pop Goes The Culture TV by checking out my ebay store: www.ebay.com/usr/popgoesthecu...
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW No, but Karen Chasez is such a cute person. She adopted JC when he was 5 and had fostered his biological mother years before. Both Karen and Roy persued an artistic career only when JC wanted it, never forced anything on him. And JC is a guy with a good head on his shoulders even with all the worldwide fame he got while he was young. A true gentleman. Nowadays she is the Mayor of a town in Florida.
Jesus christ. A round of applause for JC. Not only is this guy a fantastic singer, but he went out of his way to make people feel safe in one the country's worst times.
Im watching this on Xmas day, I remember a video of Nsync wishing everyone Merry Christmas and JC was the only one saying "Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa" he was very aware of how diverse his group of fans were. I love this man and wish him everything that is good.
Of all these videos of celebrities doing interview about 9/11, JC’s interview is my favourite. He has such a beautiful human being. He willing to go to the ground zero and he saw dead body there.
That’s JC in a nutshell, he’s a private person so the fact that this story… even to this day is such an under the radar story. As a hard core NSYNC fan, this is reason number (whatever) that I love this man
I have a lot to say on this. I remember EVERY detail of this day. Every thought and feeling. I initially became a clinical mental health counselor to work with a population of patients who experienced crisis events like 9/11. What JC did in the aftermath of this horrific event is what I work with every day. He walked with individuals who experienced this first hand. He listened and empathized and used this strenthd to lead and adcicate for people there (and all of us) by helping create a concert for betterment of all involved. I wonder if he knows he was doing exactly what I do everyday. I hope he is recognized in some way for doing this! What frustrated me most in the situation was how so many people were unsympathetic and cruel where I worked making comments such as, "why would I be upset", "why was I crying I didn't personally know anyone there". I have never understood how any one could ever ask these things so cold heartedly! I watched the live footage of the second plane hit the towers. I watched the footage of the plane hit the pentagon. I saw the wreckage from flight 53 the same as JC did. I lived in Louisville, Kentucky at the time. I found out several weeks later my class valedictorian, whom I had known from first grade to our senior year, and her husband were in each of the buildings. They were the lucky ones and gone out. There's a documentary she was part of where she talks about her experience in this horrific event. She was on one of the floors in close proximity were one of the planes hit. She stated the emergency intercoms instructed individuals to go back to their floors! She trusted her instincts and got put. The majority of her office was killed. Her husband was in the second building and the same happened to him. Another friend of mine was having brain surgery at the time at one of the hospitals in NYC. Many of the individuals at the Pentagon who had worked in the same battalion as my father were there. He knew several people killed. One of the regulars who took my spinning class had a cousin was killed outside one of the towers. Anyone with a heart was effected. I have "loved JC forever" because of his amazing voice and talent. I have felt he always poured his heart out in every song and performance. I saw N'SYNC at birthday bash, in Louisville, before they were famous around 1998. His heart and talent was evident from the beginning. I am glad I was not wrong in learning on in life what a stand up guy he is, evenmoreso from this video. Actions speak louder than words. My appoligies for the length to anyone who has read this thus far. I normally do not comment on videos. JC's emotions and thoughts brought me back to where I was on this horrendous day. I felt compelled to speak on it.
NSYNC and the guys were in NY on 9/7 and 9/10 for the Michael Jackson 30th anniversary plus the VMAS. Turks and Caicos was before according to Lance which makes more sense. I had never heard this story from JC tho. Heart-wrenching. He’s an empathetic guy ❤😢
I was listening to a bunch of survivor stories and multiple people mentioned Michael Jackson the night before, so maybe there were two performances in close vicinity? I do believe there was something the night before.
@@francinesanchez5402 the MTV VMAs was on Sept 6th at Lincoln Center in Manhattan. Michael Jackson’s 30th Anniversary Special was filmed on Sept 7th and Sept 10th at Madison Square Garden. A lot of celebrities were in NYC at the time for both, including NSYNC, Britney Spears, Destiny’s Child and others. Such joy the preceding days and then just tragedy 😔
@@TheBsbfan558 no there were 2 concerts filmed, Sept 7th and Sept 10th. It aired November that year. My parents tried to get tickets to at least one of them but they were too expensive.
I was at my camp on 9/11 which is 30 minutes from where Flight 93 went down. You could see the smoke in the sky. You can feel the emotions JC had on that day in this interview.
I remember everything that happened before that day, especially in the music industry. The MTV music awards, MJ special, celebrating the life of aaliyah etc. Then everything after with MJ getting everyone together for "What more can I give" it's all still so fresh like it happened yesterday. But this raw emotion,bring the reality of that time to life
I remember that the iconic Pop/Michael Jackson VMA performance was in NYC just a few days earlier. Every time I see that performance, I immediately think about how that was the last of an innocent and naive time in the world. The world literally changed forever just a few days later.
History is a looooong time. Much worse things have happened in history....especially in other countries caused by the US. Maybe refine that to the worst year in YOUR personal history on Earth. Because this is absolutely not the worst thing in even US history.
Covid affected everybody in every town of every country in every continent, 11th September 2001 only affected america.. frankly 2020 has to be the worst year in our lifetime
I remember watching the MTV VMA's where NSYNC performed with Michael Jackson on September 7th. Limp Bizkit won Best Rock Video for Rollin, filmed atop the South Tower the year before. The Backstreet Boys presented an award and performed at the Meadowlands that night.
I was only ten when 9/11 happened... but I clearly remember everything I saw and where I was. I was in 5th grade and we were sent home immediately when the principal gave an emergency announcement. The teachers refused to tell us no matter how many times we asked. There was a TV in the library and some kids sneaked in and saw it and they all were screaming and crying and begging for their parents.That's when I knew something really bad was and for the first time in my life, I wasn't just scared for myself. I was scared for my parents, big brother and big sister who's autistic. Once my bus got to my house I ran in, and yelled for my mom. She was on the phone with my sister's school and my brother was in the den with the TV on and that's when I saw the WTC burning and I asked my brother how did they get on fire like that. He said it wasn't a fire. Someone took two planes and crashed them into each tower. I was in utter shock. As a kid, I had no idea what to think of that. I tried to think positive and say, ok, it may take time for the firemen to get up there and help put out those fires... then that was when the South Tower fell... I could not believe it. I knew at that moment, so many people died. I started crying and was very scared what was gonna happen. I live on Long Island, NY which is about three hours from the city, fighter jets were scrambled over our skies that night out of fear and they did not wanna take any chances of more surprise attacks. It was one of the scariest days of my life... 20 years later... I am still haunted by 9/11 but I cannot forget what I witnessed and I'm not afraid to share it. I'm proud of JC for sharing his story of where he was that day and he's still to this day my fave *NSYNC member. He's too pure for this world. RIP to the innocent souls who perished that day. Prayers.
Yes it’s so chilling to think about I was 8 when it happened and I live by a military base and my hometown was shut down pretty tightly, but I love on the west coast so I didn’t hear about it until I got to school I just remembered being so confused and shocked when I realized what happened it’s just sad to think that this was the beginning of our world becoming the distant l, overly cynical, and divided mess it is today a certain magic life had died that day
I remember where I was when 9/11 happened, in my room watching tv & then Breaking News came on. 1 of the towers had just hit & it took time to sink in that this is really happening & then the next tower was hit. I was OMG it’s for real.. Definitely hit close to home for JC & admire him for being an amazing person!!!! Luv u JC. ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹.
I was in LA and it was silence in the streets the entire day. When you greeted a stranger on the street, it was a look you gave each other like wtf man.
So many years later and you still get choked up listening to these types of stories. It's incredible learning the lengths he went through to try and connect with people in such a horrific time. I think I was in high school when the attacks happened and I remember coming home from school and it still being on the news and my mom was watching and telling me what happened. My first reaction was to say "Oh my god" because it really doesn't seem real. And it was kind of off-putting to me to have her correct my reaction to it so I just kind of brushed off the entire situation and walked out of the room. I followed up with everything on my own, and years after that I would watch the memorial videos about it and the documentaries and go through rabbit holes on here watching different videos about it. I feel like every year you know the anniversary is coming up and it just gets kind of heavy. People are still grieving over this massive loss but it was also a time where so many people came together to help one another and that in itself is a very beautiful thing.
I was thinking the same. They performed on 9/7 and 9/10. Lance said in his interview for this that they were in Turks and Caicos before, then NY and had flown in to Florida when it happened.
The Michael Jackson special was on 9/07/2001 not the night before. I remember watching it that night. Plus the VMA's were on the 6th of September that year.
@@TheBsbfan558 Ray Romano talks about where he was on 9/11 and he says himself and the cast of Everybody loves Raymond flew in the night before and attended the Michael Jackson special - so he wasn’t only performing on the 7th he was performing on the 10th also and Jackson himself spoke about the fact that only the night before he had performed and the next morning he watched as the attacks unfolded
Is that him in 2021?...if ya...he looks so much better...he is not aging,he is just getting mature but still look younger than his real age...ow my God...
Amen to JC...It was absolutely surreal & amazing to what you saw & experienced through the whole process that the Fire departments, & search & rescue , & police had to deal with....9/11 in itself will always be a part of us...American people lost lives, lost love ones, friends, & people they knew...Even lives of people they didn't know were lost...No one should have to face what we did on 9/11/2001... when this terrible act was occurred, it should have been the wake up call to love, care & respect each other...not to hate, fight, or cause war...God bless to those who lost someone in the twin towers or the pentagon.❤🙏
I was in the eighth grade at the time this horrific event happened. I walked in my science classroom and saw the twin towers in smoke and fire on the TV. I saw the looks of panic in the eyes and voices of my fellow classmates.
Yes Nsync did perform 4 songs but because of a lot of issues with equipment and sound ABC ended up showing a shorter concert days later after the original concert. there is a set list of all the songs and performers. Here is the Wiki page with the set list: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_We_Stand:_What_More_Can_I_Give
On 9/11 my mom waited for me too wake up and then she told me about the attack's in New York/then The Pentagon and of course the 4th plane and the hijackers flew into the ground Flight-93 at around 7:00 a.m. California Time? I believe. I was going too school that day I woke up at 8:30 a.m. too get ready. I went on ahead and went too school. Living in the Bay Area Mayor Willie Brown shut down S.Francisco, absolute no access too The Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge/& B.A.R.T shut down. Part of the Freeway's were closed and then some were open. I do remember offering up a Prayer that was because with all the shock and horror with the unfolding Crisis and people in New York/Pennyslvania/& D.C. and the Families shattered I just asked The Lord please don't let a Earthquake. NY/Pennyslvania/D.C. they all needed the emergency resources and supplies. yeah even that hour's of Fear/Grief/outrage/pain/& shock I myself needed to Pray.
I think it's kind of sweet that he thinks people were jumping out of the building hoping to survive. The truth of the matter is that they were hoping to die quickly and painlessly rather than be tortured in a slow and painfull death by burning alive. They had to pick their poison. They knew their fate that day was to die but they had a choice in the method. I couldn't even imagine their fear. Just awful
Tiana Marie Rodriguez Jc chasez I was at in Claremont home my mom got my up out of bed I was watch the new We are going to New York And fly to Boston Her daughter and the husband live In dc And I had lose my best friend dead in the two tilt Tiana Marie Rodriguez
What jc is saying isn’t true, because NSYNC performed at the Michael jackson 30th anniversary concert (at night) on September 9th and September 10th of 2001 at Madison square garden which is not far from the towers. So jc was actually in Times Square on 9/11, unless after the performance NSYNC went straight to the airport on 9/10/01 at 1 in the morning and went to florida and got there just in time to see the events on the tv screens at the airport.
