Probably the most terrifying thing I have ever seen.

It doesn’t miss a second f time in those 102 minutes and when you’re watching it you’re just in total disbelief that this actually happened.

It’s like the most terrifying horror movie you’ve ever seen.
This documentary always tears me up yet I always watch it, I was too young to remember what happened on that day so watching it makes me feel that an event like this really happened.

A sad day in history and the people who LOST and GAVE their lives should be remembered. (except for the terrorists of course.)

Spoiler:

Also Happy 18th Anniversary to Mariah Carey's Glitter Soundtrack which was unfortunately released on this horrible day.

so yeah yesterday i had my few moments of silence to remember the victims of this awful tragedy
i remember bit more now, my mom drove me to school, heard about one plane's impact into world trade center, but saw the second plane's impact live on tv

i of course at that time didn't know what was going on, or what those buildings were for the USA bc of my young age

but now when i watch documentaries about 9/11 it is very awful, and to see it could've been easily prevented makes it even more sad

Yes I was just getting dressed and my now ex rung me from work which he never did. We had been falling out so was surprised he rang, He said in a very serious voice have you got the tv on? I replied no, why? And from then was glued to the TV, trying to make sense of any of it... horrible day I will never forget.

At school and then I came home and my mum came home from work and she was trying to contact my grandma uncle auntie and cousins who were flying to Florida eventually we got in contact they were diverted to Canada but because it was before the days of good mobile phones it took us 24 hours before we knew they were ok. It doesn't compare to the horrible events of that day but I always remember that because it haooened on the same day

Bumping this as it’ll be 20 years since in a few days.

Can’t believe it.

In bed. I was on the old rock n roll at the time.

It was the strangest thing, I woke up and thought to myself that somethings not right, like something had happened, I went down stairs and on the TV there was coverage and reports of the first plane crash, as I was watching that the second plane came into view and smashed into the other building. It was jaw dropping.

I was still in Maths, just like in 2018. Weird coincidence.

I was at work, everyone was just stunned, we all went home as soon as it happened.


20 years on, and the environment is totally different. For months over this winter, the USA had more covid deaths every day than died in total in 9/11 .

20 years on and 10's of thousands have died in Afghanistan as a direct result of that event. It blows my mind

It's different really, I think people would still be just as stunned if similar happened tomorrow... it's just a more visceral scene than the "faceless stats" of daily covid deaths.
