A clip from the third episode of a recent television miniseries. Christopher Cassel of Castle Pictures was supervising producer, writer and field director.
ART hits me also. My dad being a fire fighter I know the risk these men and women take everyday. I love each and everyone of them like family. I always pray for my dads safety but also every emergency services workers safety
@Mcnight Smith Fuck you asshole even if it's a joke that's sick and so disrespectful so many innocent people lost their lives how can you joke about this?
Rest Easy Big Red its been 17 years since this day. And it still doesn't make it any easier knowing that besides me losing my big brother and my aunt that day it hurts so much. But ik that there still with me. My brother was there helping people out of the building when a huge piece of falling debris landed on him killing him on impact. And my aunt was on the 45th or 47 floor and didn't make it. By the time she got to the 9th floor thats when her cell cut out on my mother. My mother drops her phone as tears form in her eyes. Now being only 14 almost 15 years old i knew something bad happened. I tugged on my mothers shirt. I remember my exact words to her. Don't worry mom aunt Sarah and Jacob will be fine they are strong people. But little did i know the worst had already happened. Then she gets a call 2 days later from my brothers fiance Tiffany with more disturbing news that would make our mothers heart tighten up and causing her to have a mini stroke. My mother had found out that my big brother was killed in the wake of all that pain and despair. And thats when she lost it. She broke down tears just falling and i knew i couldn't help her through it. So i rubbed her back and stayed quiet all while trying to hold my tears in as i was very close with my brother. And to find out that heart wrenching knews destroyed my emotions for i would say at least 5 years i was cold heartless to everyone i shut myself away i dropped outta school. I basically gave up because i felt like the world had abandoned me and took the only ones i knew i could rely on always from me. My big brother was my best friend he was the coolest most genuine guy ever. And my aunt well she was the best aunt ever. Always brought me something after work came to play games with me. And sometimes i still blame myself for there deaths though i shouldn't but its a force of habit. I still vist there graves I'll even talk to them both for hours id take a bottle of water and some chips and grapes and just kick it with them. One police officer saw me and walked over sat down next to me and smiled. Hes like this your brother. I looked at him and said yeah hes my hero and best friend. I went on about all the stuff we did and sometimes wed get in trouble. But i knew i could always count on my brother. Next thing i knew the officer is in tears. He looks at me and says your brother was an amazing guy. I asked him how he knew. Hes like because your brother saved my wife that day. Its thanks to him that shes still with me. He hugged me and walked off. I looked down at his grave gave him the thumbs up smiled and told them both how much i miss and love them and cant wait to be reunited with them.
Stephanie Kern Rest In Peace to every first responder on September 11th. Superheroes are all around us in the Fire Trucks and Police cars and Ambulances.
They didn't care for their own lives. All they cared about was how many lives they could save that day. They still kept going back inside those doomed buildings even after watching burning people leaving the elevators. Most selfless people on the face of this earth. There is a special place in heaven for these dead men.
Every day, every god damm day... I moved down south after other guys moved down there. When we get together it's all we talk about, most horrible thing that has ever impacted our lives.
Glenn Chabut Im sorry Glenn abou your friends i don't realy know what to say. This is so beautiful to see how proud you all are and that we all think of you lads over here a lot some day me and my family will call over to see it all and Ellis Island were our families pasted through years ago god bless you all. Love from Ireland see you all soon.
I remember this day I used to a volunteer firefighter and these men and women are heros they died doing what they love question firefighter get is why do people run out of a burning building fire fighter run in to the burning building well these men and women answered that question to the members of the NYFD of ladder truck 3 R.I.P and god bless you and thank you for your service and for what you have done for city of New York
@Scott Leoski I don't know how awesome it is Scott, but please know this, it will be a cross that we will have to carry for the rest of our lives. The memories of that day and the brothers that we lost.
Born and raised in Brooklyn. Boston police 26 years. New York city will always be in my heart . I however will always be a New Yorker I will never forget. God bless my brothers and sisters who gave their lives 0n 9-11
Firefighters Prayer When I am called to duty, God wherever flames may rage, give me strength to save a life, whatever be its age. Help me to embrace a little child before it's too late, or save an older person from the horror of that fate. Enable me to be alert to hear the weakest shout, and quickly and efficiently to put the fire out. I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me, to guard my neighbor and protect his property. And if according to your will I have to lose my life, bless with your protecting hand my loving family from strife.
Ladder 3 made the ultimate sacrifice so those at the World Trade Center can survive. They gave their lives so the workers and their families could get out but so many others never got out and when the towers fell many were burned in the rubble. Ladder 3 was able to rescue half of those in the World Trade Center and stayed until the towers fell. Now this truck is entombed with its crew in the foundation of the World Trade Center a lasting memorial to those lost on September 11th.
America I salute you..... I'm a Canadian and I'll never forget 911. I remember everything about the day/moment of the attack. I remember where I was, what I was doing, what I was working on... all of us at the dealership I was a tech at stopped... we stopped... we bolted to the lunch room after the radio informed us of the Carnage. We turned on the TV and watched, it was a very sobering moment for all of us as we knew the world as we knew it was gone forever.... It never ceases to amaze me to hear of the superhuman feats of heroism that occured by all that day....
I was not born back then (12-12-01). But everyone who has consciously experienced this day still knows exactly what they were doing and where they were when they heard the news that a plane and minutes later a second plane had crashed into the twin towers. I think this applies to almost everyone anywhere in the world who had radio and / or TV at the time. I am from the Netherlands and my parents know it exactly where they where and what they where doing. On the one hand I think it is unfortunately that I did not experience it, because it nevertheless brought a kind of bond of solidarity among the people who have experienced it and a break between the generations that have experienced 9/11 and the people who were born after it. On the other hand, I am also happy that I did not experience it. That's how I feel it.
Any video related to 9/11 Tributes always make me cry. Not only as an American but as a Muslim. Those 4 planes were not the only thing hijacked on that sunny Tuesday morning, but my religion was as well. I took it back by enlisting into the WI Army National Guard just a month after 9/11 at the age of 17. The best thing I ever did in my life! May God Bless all those heroes who died at Ground Zero especially the first responders. 🇺🇸🚓🚑🚒🇺🇸
RIP Not only to ladder 3 but to all the men and women that lost their lives on a date that be forever remembered along with dec 7 1941. The dates that so many gave so much. 😢😢😢
The ones who disliked this are probably the same people who think the US government knocked those towers down, they think the US sent their fire fighters out to die, the US government didn’t and who ever disliked this is evil, you’re disliking the family’s who’s sons or fathers who lost their lives on that tragic day, my dads friend was a firefighter who died on 9/11, those brave fire fighters are true hero’s, saving people they don’t even know and will never see again.
I spent nearly a full day in the museum last year, truly a powerful reminder and worth a visit. Make me proud to serve this country and keep our nation free.
Three uncles of mine served and died in 9/11, they were firefighters. I am following there footsteps with fire fighting. This video, means so much more to firefighters than youd actually know. Rest in piece brothers
Thank you Ladder 3! Your sacrifice will NEVER be in vain! You gave all so that other could give today! May Heaven shine with the wings of these hero's!!!
Who's cutting onions :'( All respect to the first responders that didn't hesitate giving their souls away to help others!! Such an example for love and passion and selfless :'( may all of them rest in eternal peace RIP
As a person that has always respected police and fire departments across America, all I can say is, God bless you, God bless those that lost their lives on that fateful day, God bless NYC and God Bless America
I will never forget where i was and what i was i was wearing when 9/11 happened like it was yesterday and its hard to believe that it was almost 20 years ago.These men were/are the definition of selfless real life heros. Im from louisiana and i feel a sense of pride by just being from the same country as these brave men. R.I.P and god bless them and their families.. And by the way what they are doing with that ladder truck is AMAZING and RESPECTFUL first class
How soon this country forgets that horrible day. I remember it like yesterday minute to minute,. RIP all those really great New York people on that awful day.
I was there a week before the memorial, i was there with my dad as a present for my graduation. as a Dutchy i was seriously impressed by ground zero, the workers putting so much dedication in the 1WTC. I still remember the event like yesterday, watching this as 7 year old kid on the news broadcast... couldnt really believe what had happened, so many innocent lives, so many families thorn apart... As a cop myself and brother of a firefighter i must say these guys are true hero’s, they made the ultimate sacrifice... no one forced them, they felt like it was their duty to do so.
18 years ago today... Clear across the country... I never knew any of them, yet they were all My Brothers!!! All the things I saw in 20 years serving my community.... This day, 9-11.. every year, brings me to tears😪 The most somber day! Some day, maybe I will see truck 3... I'm sure if I ever do get to see her, I will drop to my knees 😪 So many of us never see or hear of the rest, yet we are all brothers. We do what we do because we want to. We take the risks to help others. We all know most of the dangers before we get there. We go anyway!! A few years after 9-11-01, I got 80% of my arm burned, all 2nd and 3rd degree... It all healed very well!! I'm very lucky!! Most of the nerves grew back, only a couple very small scars left.. the sun still caused severe pain if I forget sun screen. Right in the middle of it, on the inside of my forearm is a tattoo.. the crest with the flag in it and 343 across it. That is for my brothers!!! There are ghost flames around the crest for me. Those who have answered their last call, thank you and RIP! Those still answering, Thank You!
Its not just powerful, its soul crushing to see. So many lives lost in the worst way possible. God bless those brave souls that charged into the towers on the worst possible day.
A person cannot thank someone like that enough for their service or their family service or their children service. All we can do is just say thank you thank you thank you.
Although it's almost 18 years ago, tears are still coming to my mind when I see something like this, the victims of September 11th will never be forgotten.😢
Everytime I see this video , I feel the tears welling up. I can't believe it has been almost 20 years since that horribly unimaginable day. I was just a kid in high school but I remember that day perfectly and will never forget it.
Awesome. God bless them all. Storming the towers on 9/11 is at the very top echelons of human bravery, selflessness and ultimate sacrifice. These men are cut from the same cloth as the ones that stormed the beaches of Normandy. Americans to the core.
We will never forget all those brave heroes that gave their lives for others that day. maybe in remembering them and hearing their stories, in some small way, they live on.
Sad but appreciative of the people that you represent, Thank you for treating such respect. Thank you for all of your services to our nation even though most of it don’t know anything about what you did but this is so important end it teaches my children moon even my
Damn this is a brutal video. My husband is from NY & begged the Army to let him go up for the recovery process. He has a WTC tattoo now. RIP to everyone we lost on a day I'll never forget.
This are the most beautiful people in our hearts and they will always be part of our hearts.. Americans are proud of their hearts and their souls. They will never give up.. This is very emotional and very hard to watch. They are all fantastic people and their family will always be part of their lives. Thanks for your service.
I’m English but to this day and forever I feel empathy and deep grief for all the families and servicemen who died in this atrocity .respect and live sent from the uk
This is one incident that is not forgotten in my 40 yrs of living me being a firefighter now retired it chockes me up I've had coworkers die on duty next to me RIP FDNY 343 and all others who were in the tower and helped out
It's so amazing. The revitalization of the WTC is one of the great modern American stories. It captures the entire spirit of what America is about. If you haven't seen this rig in the memorial museum, please go and see it as soon as you can.
It really broke my heart, the men who sacrifice themselves only to save the men, women, and children in the 9/11 is irreplacable, even I was borned in 2002, it really broke my heart. To see the ladder 3 putting to rest is the one of the videos that maked me cry. To all the heroes of the 9/11, thank you for your sacrifices that you have done. Im not even from new york, I lived in the philippines. Im speechless when I watched the videos of the 9/11. To all of the survivors of the ladder 3, thank you for your sacrifices also to the fallen firefighters. One big salute to all of the first responders of the 9/11 attacks, also to the fallens..
This still makes very angry and very sad. Firefighters are true heroes. Their running in as we're running out. Thank you, thank you all. My prayers are with you daily. GOD BLESS.
VERY VERY RESPECTFUL, SO MOVING. MEMORABLE. MANY THANKS FROM A SOUTHERN GAL THAT FEELS THE HEART AND SOUL OF THOSE THAT GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. GODSPEED
This is very moving. Those poor men simply doing their jobs hoping to save people but instead losing all their lives. Sadly, they were the ones who were the first responders & it cost them dearly. In deep respect to these guys they were silly ascending those towers when they were on fire, burning badly. Of course no-one had any idea the towers would fall, either did these brave firefighters, god bless them. Being a firefighter under normal circumstances is heroic enough but September 11 was entirely different. If only the outcome had been better with the fireman saving people, getting out & the towers hadn't collapsed. RIP.
This brought me to tears... I mean...burrying a fire truck sounds silly first but how it has been done was just gracefully. It's the right symbol for real heros
I remember exactly where I was on 9-11-01; I was sitting in my sophomore geometry class in high school when the announcement came. The shock all around was easily felt. I remember everyone just started crying from football players to the teachers and everyone else in between. We just started hugging each other and for the rest of the day and weeks to come there were no cliques, nerds, no hate or trivial high school crap. I remember, everyone being on high alert and not seeing my brother for a while because as Texas State Employee ( prison guard, they were on alert as well). This year will be the 18th anniversary and yet it doesn't get any easier.
Thanks for posting this, I remember I was at work I saw planes flying into twin towers and I thought it was a movie, a few seconds Later I realized it was real ladder 3 truck is piece of history we can never forget. There was so many hero’s that day to count. Thank you to ladder 3 crew for their bravery and courage. And everyone who helped during the dark times.
I was just in New York and truly truly regret that I wasn’t able to get into the museum - i was able to pay my respects band for That I was glad but this video was chilling and i will make sure I get there soon
There's never a day that goes by I don't think about this day. My family says I've become obsessed about 9/11. Scary thing is I was supposed to be on flight that hit the first tower, but missed it. I'm thankful everyday that I get to spend more time with my kids n family.
😭😭😭 I WISH THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT ON 9/11....THAT DAY.....🇺🇲.❤🤍💙🇺🇲 GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS 🙏 WE MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND WHY, BUT, WE WILL COME TOGETHER AS ONE, LIKE THAY DID THAT DAY ON 9/11....MAY THAY ALL REST IN PEACE... WE'LL NEVER FORGET....GOD-BLESS ALL AMERICANS....💯🇺🇲❤🤍💙🇺🇲💯
I'm in tears right now watching this I was only 6 when this happened RIP to all the hero's that lost there lives saving others you will never be forgotten 9/11
