World Trade Center: Rescuing 9/11 survivors 

If you count those who later died of residual effects the number is way over 3000.

But even those 20 was a victory in the face of so much death.

The dark silver lining is that there were tens of thousands of people working in both buildings and they were able to get The vast majority of evacuated

​@@flightofthebumblebee9529its estimated that 6,000 people perished or died as a result of the attacks. The numbers go way beyond when only 3,000 bodies were confirmed. If anything, the number probably went up to 9,000 deaths because of 9/11. Hopefully those Al Qaeda bastards are suffering in hell for all eternity

Now imagine all the survivors who were trapped down there and were never found.

Seeing how difficult it was to get these two out I cannot imagine how many were found but unable to be removed.

​@@chardaskiedefinitely, poor people must've suffered, helpless, tens of meters under ground and rubble

Yep and Will and John were the 18th and 19th survivors, Will was trapped for 13 hours and John was stuck for 22 hours. Rescuers pulled John out the following morning, they had over 200 stories of building collapse on top of them and they still survived, it’s a miracle they both lived.

i thin it was around 16 people pull out rubble or 18 i dont think it was 20

I remember that story they were firefighters who got stuck trying to carry a woman down I think

Sargent Maglochlin passed unfortunately.

@@stevengable6887Sargent Mcloughlin is still alive, at least according to the internet

@@stevengable6887 he's still alive. i was confused when i read this because i thought you was referring to the third person who survived and died after the second tower fell.

Gets me every time

It's heartbreaking that they went through all that and never realized just how bad it affected the towers until after they were gone.

The real life Will Jimeno said, "That was the first time I actually sobbed all day. Because I realized how many had died along with my friends. I was almost in too much shock to cry when my friends died. When the ambulance pulled me up to the hospital, I expected to see hundreds of others who had been dug out also from the buildings, being unloaded from different ambulances. But mine was the only one who pulled up. I asked the Paramedic, "Hey, isn't there anyone else?" The paramedic knew what I was talking about and said sadly, "No. You're the last one." That hit me like a ton of bricks." Will Jimeno was the third to last person to be rescued from the rubble of the WTC. John McLoughlin was the second to last. Only 20 people were pulled from the World Trade Center, alive.

@@tl7091dty *that hits so deep, i remember seeing the film in cinema and always felt there must been more than 20 that survived the collapse*

They say about 100 people survived the towers collapsing but all but 20 died waiting for rescue. Most of them were too deep to be helped. I know of one case where the rescue workers found a survivor, but since the pile was so unstable and everyone feared a landslide for lack of a better word, they had to leave him and never found him again

@@jonathanrichwine1996 I heard that story. That poor guy. Being so close to being saved.

@@jonathanrichwine1996wait they never even found his body?

@@Warhead_235 First time I'm hearing this, but it's totally possible. Those piles of rubble kept burning for weeks. Just another gruesome story to add to the list.

Michael Peña, and I agree

@@m.lhenderson5885💀💀

Great actor.

Including people on RU-vid getting his name wrong lol

💀💀💀👌❤️❤️👏👏✌️✌️✌️ litty litty bruh

Amen! (Jon and will, the men in this movie, we’re actually police officers who went in to help the evacuation efforts before the building collapsed)

Scott Strauss NYPD ESU actually had severe problems with his lungs and has had several major surgeries, he says he’s just waiting for the day he gets sick. He has an obvious cough in all his interviews. But he’s happy for all the time he’s had, none of the rescue workers thought they were coming out of that hole. The actual hole was 30 feet+ deep and so small and horrific, you couldn’t actually film in the actual size, so it was made bigger for the movie. The movie is pretty much word for word what happened in real life. Will asking them to cut his leg off. Encroaching fired couldn’t be controlled at one point and the team was told to get out now, it was in danger of collapse or death by fire. Patty McGee actually told them to “go fuck themselves” when given the order to pull back and leave them. The rescuers knew the Sgt personally. They said if the hole collapses and will and John were killed, they were dying with them. Will was trapped for 13 hours and John 23 ish. The real guys actually make a cameo in the end of the movie. Oliver stone and Scott actually fought about the filming because Oliver stone kept asking “does this look right”, and Scott Strauss would say “it was much more horrific than that”. Oliver stone was pissed because if they made the hole any smaller, they wouldn’t be able to film it. So however horrific this movie is, it was ten times worse in real life. But the dialogue, wills vision of Jesus, all of that was word for word accurate according to Jimeno. Including Dominick’s last words. He said “don’t ever let anyone forget I died trying to save you guys”. And then asked the Sgt for a break, and he died like two feet from will, it looks much farther away in the movie

they. were. buried. under. rubble

Seems like the Pope is a catholic, too.

Ya and all there kids and family too

Yeah a reason I could barely watch whole one time after that my claustrophobia and nightmares left me traumatized

Actually the last person rescued was Genelle Guzman-McMillan.

The two PAPD officers were numbers 18 and 19 of 20 found

18th actually

There were others stuck in a part of the WTC didn't collapse fully.

18th

Sadly ..most have sir..most have..😢

I was there that day

​@@marieboyle6183I agree . I won't 4get. Cuz I was there that day

What You Were There On 9/11 @DannyRichards-Nb9sh

Sleepy Joe Biden wants to forget he's already proved that when he went to Alaska instead of NY

probably felt great when compared to being trapped under tons of rubble with your life being squeezed out of your body.

​@@jamesdick2580yeah but the OP's comment was a lot funnier.

@@jamesdick2580 Kind of the point, though- the mess that was the surface was still better than being trapped.

Yep, that's with any building along with interior stairwells.. Most people who made it to a stairwell on 9/11 but thought they'd be fine if they stayed there weren't exactly wrong in thinking that, I believe there was part of a stairwell left standing and a entire fire department crew was standing there safe and sound when the tower came down, I believe it was Ladder Company 6, they were on their way up and a woman needed help coming down and they were on the 8th floor when the buildings came down and the stairwell they were in (Stairwell B) was left standing.. The 6 firefighters and the woman lived and were considered survivors even though the woman they rescued later died in 2011.. :(

@@Eyrothath thanks for the info.

The crazier thing was Jimeno didn’t say that to try to get himself out and save himself. He wanted to get out faster because John was fading in and out and dying. Will wanted them to amputate his leg (in real life, they had a team of doctors ready to talk Scott Strass (NY ESU) through the amputation. But Strauss said “we’re getting you out in one piece”. Will wanted his leg cut off so his sgt John could get out faster because he was in much worse shape than will. Even 20 years later John has open wounds and excruciating pain. If it wasn’t for John knowing those buildings so well (he assisted in security after the 93 bombing), and yelling at them to get in the elevator shaft, they would’ve all been pulverized instantly. The real Jimeno and McLoughlin make a short cameo clapping for the actors that played them at the end of the movie.

Yeah

Yeah. He did

I have

I have...almost put me in tears 😢

Is that Pasquale Buzzelli's book?

I haven't but I'm sure that plenty of people did. What's the meaning behind your question.

Still alive

Will Jimeno and John McLaughlin are still very much alive.

@@sassyt1545 So are Scott Strauss and Paddy McGee.

They didn't. But you might, some day.

To spread awareness and show how truly horrible the attacks were

To describe in advance how it felt to be trapped under rubble for days, with no food, no water, not even the ability to move.

Usually using actors and video cameras and a script written by writers, also having a director to make sure things run smoothly is key.

Easy. There are countless movies about countless tragedies. This one is no different to movies about the multiple wars of the last century.

I mean there's ...Titanic, Saving private Ryan, Pearl Harbor, Patriots Day, Schindler's List... the list goes on and on ..ppl make movies of all tragedies

You need to see the movie

Found the middle easterners lol

Well, it might just be because they were discovered by two marines? 🤷‍♂🤦‍♂

Because, in fact, two U.S. Marines found Jimeno and McLaughlin. Brave men, something you would know nothing about, Douglas Taggart.

No it didn’t. Just says you’re jealous of the Marines lol

Ruined the film... The Marines went in when they said no one was allowed to keep searching in real life after the towers fell. I may be wrong with their phrase but SEMPER FI, Marines will always come through. Plus the military brothers too ya know. There are many events where a former military person came in clutch. One time I thought I was lost, and a former miliatry person knew that look of fear and panic on my face. I was having flashbacks to when I lost my little brother too. They calmed me down, and I told them I am not lost just the thoughts flooded in. They were a Marine and said that regret attacks them too. I regretted losing my little bro. and it haunts me no matter what I do. He is finenit ways years ago but 😅 it gets to me.

​@@whimsicalgoldeyour an idiot if those Marines hadn't gone in THOSE TWO WOULD HAVE DIED
