The 20th anniversary of the attacks on 9-11 presents a day to reflect, remember and pay tribute to those we lost. I am sure most of us remember exactly where we were at the moment we found out our nation was under attack by terrorists. Our nation was forever changed by those moments on September 11th, 2001.
Perhaps we can share our memories together as we think about the 20th anniversary of this date.
Where were you on that day? And what memories are most vivid for you?
I watched the whole thing in real time. I had just arrived at work (on the West Coast) and someone came running by an said one of the twin-towers was on fire from an airplane having hit it. I went to the breakroom where there was a TV mounted there. When I had been watching for a few minutes a second plane hit the other tower. That’s when we knew we were under attack and we all spent the rest of the day watching the attack on TV.
I was in New York 4 months after 9/11. There were armed soldiers in Humvees guarding the stock exchange. The site was an enormous hole. One of the still standing buildings had one of it’s sides sheared off and you could see the offices inside the floors. The whole side was covered with orange plastic construction fencing to keep things from falling out.
I visited the firehouse of Ladder 7 and took a few pictures of the posters that kids had sent them, including an elementary school in Texas. One of the firemen invited me into the office and we talked about a few things. Then he did something that seared that moment into my memory forever. He took down a picture of his wedding from the wall and showed it to me. At that moment, he casually mentioned that “almost all of the men in the photo had died in the collapse of tower 2”. Tears welled up in my eyes and started streaming down my face. I couldn’t speak. I grabbed my wallet, took out all the cash I had, and gave it to him as a donation to the station. Thanking him in a quiet voice, I left.
George W. Bush remembers 9/11 by hating on Americans.
George W. Bush a failed businessman propped up by rich backers who set up deals to make millions is not someone who has an opinion worth listening to. Comparing 9/11 to Jan. 6 exposes him for the idiot he is.
At the University of Texas Arlington the muslims were cheering, the maintenance crew and other staff were told not to do anything about it or they would be fired. Yes even then the PC people were in control.
I was on my regularly scheduled day off. I was in law enforcement in the Tampa Bay area. I watched the second plane impact the south tower. I knew right away things would be different from that point forward, as word came about the Pentagon being hit and Shanksville.
Things became very different. For the next 3 days our skies were completely quiet. Nothing in the sky but the occasional F-15 or F-16 from MacDill AFB. I don’t remember even seeing a single tanker from that base.
Our agency became almost immediately under staffed (within weeks) due to pulling 24/7 extensive security at Tampa International Airport. Then all the men and women that got called up for Reserve or National Guard duty over the coming months.
I remember all the silly calls to unfamiliar or “suspicious” packages, backpacks, you name it. People were scared. I don’t blame them.
I will never forget. I fear that our youth and young adults today have no idea just how evil these people are. Our own leadership are calling these savages “professional”.
God help us.
I will never forget. I fear that our youth and young adults today have no idea just how evil these people are. Our own leadership are calling these savages “professional”.
they are also “businesslike”
I was at work at the VOA building in DC. Cohen Bldg. 3rd and C St, SW.
Watched the planes hit both towers on live TV, then watched the smoke from the Pentagon from the roof of the Cohen Bldg.
Brother In Law was at the Pentagon, but fortunately away from the impact area. Cell services overloaded, so unable to contact him for 12 hrs.
It took 9 hours to get home in Fredericksburg because the Metro, Amtrak, etc, were all shut down.
Nightmare day for everyone. Everyone was in a semi state of shock. Surreal is the only word that fits.

A few years later I was in lower Manhattan and walked by St. Vincent’s Hospital, which was the closest hospital to the World Trade Center, and which received some of the injured on 9/11.
Relatives of the missing had been posting posters and flyers around the neighborhood with pictures and descriptions of their family members, so if the victim was unconscious and missing ID when recovered, he could be identified and the family notified.
St. Vincent’s had saved many of the posters from the weather, and put them inside in a display on a wall. All the hope in those posters…it was the saddest thing I’d ever seen.
what was especially heart-rending were these dear people looking for their loved ones, hoping they were in a hospital waiting room somewhere . . . when asked by reporters to describe their loved ones, they would say things like, “oh, he has such a good sense of humor” . . . things that were beyond the height, weight, color of hair and eyes . . . qualities that made their person stand out against all of humanity . . . heart-breaking
St Vincents hospital was closed by mayor bloomy ,spit ,. He had the $$$$ and instead put up the moma meat packing museum …for tourists … St V’s was preeminent in the world for aids …. and … gunshots … tourists need aid and here will now prolly care after being shot by the random street thugs providing local atmosphere,
I was working as a civilian engineer in a heavily protected government defense facility miles from anywhere in the high desert of the western US. First we heard that an aircraft had crashed into one of the WTC’s twin towers. We turned on a TV and saw a huge amount of smoke coming out of the first tower.
About ten minutes later, even before the second airliner struck the other tower, our facility’s threat assessment team decided that the incident in New York could be part of an attack on the United States. They immediately ordered that the entire facility be locked tightly down and be placed into a defensive posture.
Then a few minutes later, the second tower was struck thus confirming that an attack on America was in fact in progress. We remained locked down and in a defensive posture for the remainder of that day, and for several days afterward.
Fighter aircraft, presumably from the Air National Guard, were a constant presence over our facility for the next several days, and we remained in high alert status for the next several weeks. As I recall, no one was afraid of what might happen next if our facility was to be attacked. We were going to keep on doing our jobs regardless of what might happen.

And she thought she was a shoe-in. Too bad she left it on the pavement. I will never hear the word ‘bollard’ without envisioning HRC propped up like a discarded storefront mannequin against one. I hear that Cobalt glasses are all the rage now…
exactly! bollard – rhymes with “hollered” (which precedes, “then threw a lamp”)
I remember 911 was a beautiful blue sky day where we lived in central NJ. Hub & I worked from home so we were finishing up breakfast while listening to John Gambling’s radio program. Suddenly he broke the news if the first plane hitting the trade tower. Put the tv on & watched the towers falling. Even sadder the next day the winds had shifted west & parts of Jersey were getting the smoke from the still burning towers. I remember saying that’s not just smoke, we are breathing vaporized remains of the innocent victims.
I saw the post about the 1st one that morning when I went online and opened Free Republic…
Turned on the T.V. to see the second come in.
Went to work at my cigar store to hear of the collapses on the radio.
I knew things would never be the same and thought there would be more.
I also had a bad feeling about today when I woke up.
THAT… is terrorism.
I remember thinking we should nuke Mecca on 09/12/2001….not much has changed.
I was thinking along similar lines but instead I wanted a fuel filled airliner, remotely controlled of course, to plow into that Aloha Snackbar holy cube. Someone would have hopefully snapped a picture of the airliner as it hit so we could all see some large graffiti on the side … “Have a nice day” with a big yellow smiley face.
That was a passing thought I had when I was angry. In my heart of hearts, I wanted those responsible to pay with their lives.
I like your thinking.
Later came to find out the floor that was hit was the Bear Sterns bond traders floor. No coincidence. RIP
I had just dropped my youngest son off at school when I heard the news over the radio. I started my work shift and saw the rest on TV. I’d have dropped everything to go help out (more than 1000 miles away), had I not been on ER/EMA duty. Said son would later enlist in the Navy (multigenerational military family). He is out now (medical), then used his GI bill to go into cybersecurity.
that’s beautiful . . . thank you for posting this
Absolutely!!! I love that man!
Beautiful and comforting. The President of the people, for the people, by the people is with the people.
AMEN!!!!! I never worried day while he was in office. I knew he had America’s back!
Re “NY firefighters break out in applause as President Trump makes surprise visit today”
Despite not being allowed to serve in the office he was legally elected twice to hold, PRESIDENT Trump is acting exponentially more presidential than the current illegally installed occupant of the White House. On his long passed best day, Joe Biden could never hold a candle to Donald J. Trump, the best president in American history. One of my biggest regrets is that Creepy Uncle Joe no longer has the cognitive skills to recognize just how bad he is compared to President Trump…
As the above video attests to, New York’s finest and their colleagues nationwide love and support the one president who has shown love and support for them in ways no other president ever has.
Meanwhile, many first responders across America are leading the fight against the Chicago Mafia’s Unconstitutional, overreaching, and downright stupid mandates…
Click>>> Police unions across the country looking to stop mandatory vaccination among officers (yahoo.com)
100 percent!
I was watching the news with my little 9 month old baby boy sitting on my lap.
My heart ached for the world he was inheriting in that moment.
He’s twenty now…..and my heart is completely broken for all of these young people.
Me too. My son was 9 months and a week on 9/11.
I remember thinking that they would never know of a carefree life without the fear of terrorism.
I didn’t have any work that day and when I flipped on the TV, for company … I live alone … I’m thinking … that’s not FOX News … that’s “Die Hard” … isn’t it???
I had worked on the 101st floor of WTC 1 from 1984 to 1989. Corner office with beautiful view overlooking both Brooklyn and the Statue of Liberty.
My first thought was of the poor soul who must have been sitting in my chair when the first plane hit.
It’s hard to bear watching footage or looking at pictures of that terrible day.

I tend to agree but with the painful knowledge that it will likely affect some innocent patients who are in dire need of immediate care.
It’s a situation where the workers are going to be blamed no matter which way they decide.
I second your comment, GB. I would only add that I do believe there will be more damage done if people continue to accept the Chicago Mafia’s overreaching mandates. Call it tough love for lack of a better term; but, tough love does work.
As for first responders being blamed either way, that is also most likely a sad truth. However, it has long been my philosophy that when faced ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t’ situations, you might as well just do the right thing and let the chips fall where they may. You may still be damned here on earth; but, you’ll be rewarded in the end. Meanwhile, you can move on to the next problem with a clear conscience.
Oh yes. That’s why I still agree with the walkout. There’s just no compromising with the mafia. They’ve made that clear.
Exactly! Why more people cannot see that truth is astounding to me.
So for, right now, there is a coalition of the Democommunists and the Islamists. One is godless, the other is centered in their warped interpretation of god. They are aligned now because they are both totalitarian in nature. The Democommunists want it all now. The Islamists are playing a longer term game that calls for them increasing their population with the aid of the socialist welfare state, here and in other parts of the world. The Democommunists aid them in this cause because in general they prefer small families or no children at all. Add in the nature of the left to not be able to understand the concept of evil, which is associated with their godlessness, and the Islamists will be the “winners”.
Why was my post deleted?
Is discussion of the results of the Pentagon audit reported on 9/10/01 and the missing $3T forbidden?
Does my memory not deserve to be read?
On 9/10/01 US debt was $6T…half of that was unaccounted for in the Pentagon Audit
Ever wonder where the intelligence community got the money to find its shadow government?
Find the $3T reported on 9/10/01 to be missing in the Pentagon audit…and you will have your answer…and who was involved
Considering what we know now about the MIC…and the proclivity of those in power to create distractions to cover up their misdeeds…any questions on why the events of 9/11 followed the events of 9/10/01?
Ask the family Biden droned in Afghanistan on the way out.
I saw it on the presidential thread. Maybe you posted it there?
So a large group of Middle Eastern men, some who could speak little English, come to America and all take commercial aircraft flight training at the same time and the Intelligence Community isn’t aware?
In Florida – where Jeb Bush was governor.
That’s exactly what the I.C. hoped and still is is hoping we believe.

“….In the weeks preceeding 9/11, there were numerous unusual and unannounced “drills” in which sections of both towers as well as Building 7 were evacuated for “security reasons”. These drills could have provided perfect cover for persons planting explosives.”
Jim Marrs “The Terror Conspiracy” (2006) p. 50
Neil Bush’ company?
Twenty years ago today, I woke up to the phone ringing earlier than my normal waking time (around 7AM Arizona time). I was alone as my husband had already gone to work. It was my sister, who I carpooled with, who said immediately when I picked up, “Turn on CNN!” Back then we thought of CNN as our go-to network for breaking news. My how times have changed!
I turned on the news to witness the horror of seeing the twin towers collapsing and imploding. Still on the phone with my sister, the first thing out of my mouth was, “I saw this before!” She said, “What?!” I said, “That’s what happened in a dream I had right before the 2000 election!”
We decided to go ahead and venture out that morning to go to work. It was eerily quiet, since all flights had been grounded, and was strange not seeing any aircraft in the skies.
On the way to work, I related my dream of 10 months prior, to my sister. I had gone to sleep that night (late October 2000) with the upcoming election on my mind, feeling somewhat fearful that Al Gore was going to defeat George W. Bush. The dream was vivid, detailed, and left me shaken the next morning. It was such a strange dream that I did tell my husband, but no one else, and forgot about it until turning the news on the morning of September 11, 2001.
Time and space won’t permit a detailed recounting of the dream, but it involved detailed scenes of of me being warned by a young person of something momentous happening in the distance. I looked where she was pointing toward the horizon as I watched several skyscrapers imploding and disappearing into the ground. Next, I heard the sound of boots marching to my left, and saw up close the Jefferson memorial being surrounded by troops. I was overcome with a sense of foreboding. There were other details, enough that at the time, after waking up, I wondered if there was an intended meaning.
Looking back, I now believe it was a premonition and warning of what was to come. Jefferson memorial symbolized the founding principles of freedom about to be destroyed. Here I had been so fearful of GWB losing the election when, in fact, he turned out to be responsible for ushering in the weaponization of intelligence agencies against US citizens, to the point where we find ourselves today, having lost most of our founding rights (intended to be inalienable). Can’t say I wasn’t warned!
Unfortunately, in the intervening years, I have become quite cynical, and like others upthread have a sick feeling that 9/11/01 was a false flag NWO operation. My husband just mentioned that isn’t it strange that these horrific society-altering events are so often unleashed when a Republican is in office? Think plandemic. These seem more and more like pre-planned operations by TPTB.
That being said, I still mourn the loss of life that comes with any of these orchestrated acts. And I give tribute to those who died, and those who died trying to save their fellow man. I wept at the loss we suffered at the twin towers, the Pentagon, and Shanksville. I also wept at the loss of precious lives in nursing homes during the plandemic. It broke my heart that they were left to die alone without family by their side.
I haven’t, however, lost my faith in the almighty creator of the universe. At times he may seem to allow evil to thrive, in order to work out his purposes for his creation. It’s difficult for our minds and limited vision to understand it all. I don’t claim to. Even his own son asked during his brutal crucifixion, “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Yet we know the purpose, and God knew what he was doing, and it had a powerful effect. He gave up his own life (a part of himself, his only son) as a gift of life to his whole creation. It’s the greatest event in the history of the world.
Things may get worse before they get better, but I believe implicitly in God’s plan for us as individuals and as a nation. And it’s all good. God bless America!
Thank you.

NOW – Trump meeting with FDNY firefighters in New York City on 9/11
https://gab.com/disclosetv/posts/106914426290225655
Went to play tennis at club and watched what we thought was small plane on the news,then saw the next one. I said this is an attack, Im going to get my kids. Got home and there was sporadic gunfire in our normally quiet neighborhood. People showing their anger i guess. Next day i went hiking to a hill that has a view of nyc skyline. I passed what looked like a muslim guy coming down the hill. Ive never seen any muslims around that neck of the woods. He was GRINNING! Evil. 20 years ago, feels like yesterday. Reports of muslims celebrating in paterson nj. Sick. I pray for those still suffering from this, God please always keep your arms around them.
The second that second plane struck, we were heartbroken and knew we were at war with somebody, and that this was completely unprovoked. In the ensuing days, we joined hands with and cried with friends, family and strangers. We swore we would never forget. Today, our own ‘leaders’ are re-writing history. Never forget and write your memories here and elsewhere so that the truth will live on despite them.
One thing is for certain, PDJT knows how towers go up and how towers come down.
Thank you KMD. Just finished viewing this and, I too, am surprised the video is still available for viewing. IMO, this should be viewed by everyone, far/wide. It reinforces my belief our news media, government, MIC are inhuman, heartless beings.
Social media (especially Facebook, Twitter) has become the ONLY go-to for many and, it has had a disastrous effect on people and their ability to”critical thinking.” On the other hand, there are some positives if used in the right manner: research, don’t believe everything you read/told, lead, not follow.
I enjoyed the video and appreciate you posting it for all to view.
I remember everything about 9/11, but that’s not my story. In 1999, I was in DC for some counter terrorism training and personally heard FBI Supervisory Special Agent John O’Neill say that they’d be back to try to take down the World Trade Center using hijacked 747s. The model of plane was the only thing he got wrong. Made a note of it at the time because I thought he was full of bs. Still have my notes. John ONeill was run out of the FBI by internal politics and died in the attack on 9/11. His story is detailed in the PBS Frontline episode titled
“The Man Who Knew”. Still available online
I remember 9/11 for sure but I now shudder at thought that our country and world is under attack by the same Satanic forces as we saw on 9/11 yet most of US and the world seem oblivious to the horror of this attack. In some ways the current attack is more horrific and frightening than the first on 9/11. May God help us with the current horror of Satans attack.
I had called my Mom to wish her a Happy Birthday that morning. (I was clueless about the attacks since I didn’t have the TV on.) I’ll never forget the sound of my Mom’s shocked and horrified voice, “Oh, honey, you don’t know what just happened, do you?” I replied, “what are you talking about, Mom?” I had NEVER heard her use that tone of voice, so it really scared me. She could not find or speak words, which I’d never known my Mom to experience. THAT told me it had to be horrific….then I turned on the TV….
Strangely enough I was making a quilt using red, white, and blue fabrics. I was living in Sarasota, Fl about 2 miles from where Bush was reading to kids at Booker School. Earlier my daughter and I saw Bush’s motorcade pass by as I drove her to school. I assumed it was a small private plane when it crashed into the first tower, but when the second crashed I immediately knew it was terrorist attack.
I was driving and listening to radio when I heard about a “ plane crash”. Then I spent the whole day watching the unfolding tragedy on TV. It was heartbreaking.
I lived in NYC when these buildings were in planning and permitting. There was strong, sustained opposition to their construction from all over the city and especially from adjoining neighborhoods. The strongest argument, IMO, focused on the New York Ego of the project’s promoters. They used the biggest, best, tallest, most impressive, most world-class arguments right from their first announcement of intent to build. Calling it The World Trade Center expressed that New York Ego most clearly. Neighbors threw the monumental arrogance of that wording right back at them. The back and forth left a very nasty taste in seemingly everyone’s mouths. The usual back-door shenanigans occurred and the thing got green-lighted, but the tone around it from then on was bitter, reminiscent of the now-perpetual tone around the Obamas and Bidens. The construction phase was managed by a West Pointer.
When he graduated from West Point in 2001, our son took my wife and I to the Windows on the World restaurant. That name, too, reflected the reaching, grasping tone the project had from inception. Vivid in my mind is looking down at a chopper flying by many stories below and thinking, “I wonder what it takes to make something this tall withstand a hurricane such as NYC gets?” Then I wondered if a plane could not see it and ram it. That latter thought stuck with me over the next months. The building just seemed inordinately high, something about it just outlandishly arrogant, anti-human.
Then, on 10 September 2001, as I drove a bus-load of commuters across Lake Washington to Seattle, my eye caught the Columbia Tower and a jet liner appearing to fly right into it. The Flight path for SeaTac is over downtown Seattle, where Columba Tower rises. My line of sight and distance from the objects gave me the appearance of a collision. But then, right away, I had a premonition of dread, a very strong one, that something like that was about to happen. The thought was very clear: a huge plane is flying into a huge building.
Next day, my mother woke me with the news. She was upset but almost gloating. As I watched on TV, I yelled at her through the phone: “This is what you get for voting Democrat all your life!” I was angry at her for her habitual social-political stupidity, she a graduate of Barnard College no less, and a school teacher. We hung up. Then my very next thoughts were “They were told not to build those things,” and then “Yesterday I saw this happening. Now it’s here.”
A work buddy and I was working on a mountain top littered with ski lifts in Pennsylvania a short piece from Scranton PA when we heard the news of a plane hitting the WTC. I asked what kind of plane and someone said a 747. I immediately knew there was no way that could happen accidentally and almost immediately it was announced another 747 hit the other tower confirming it was a terror attack.
It was a clear morning and on the horizon to the east and after a while we could see smoke emanating from the towers in the distance. Most appalling, there were news reports and videos of groups of (ME enclaves and others) people cheering in the streets in NJ and elsewhere. These reports were eventually scrubbed from the digital airways by the Bush administration and the DS. Surprisingly for me, I didn’t realize just how close those historical cities of the old east were in proximity to each other until that time.
Flights were cancelled and the report of another plane being downed spread. Even though this plane crashing was also a terror attack, the MSM news reported (instructions from the DS) as one plane following too close and crashed. I knew this was a lie as pilots have great training for these situations and would never follow too close. We rented a car from the Newark Airport and had we drove back to Newark Airport to fly back we would have been stranded. Even if we could have gotten on a plane would have been terrified. Fortunately we had a rental car we didn’t turn in in NJ and we made the 19 hour drive back to our homes.
My heart hurts now for all those souls who perished and those newly minted souls that lost their lives earlier in the terror bombing in Afghanistan.
This is a wonderful, sad commentary on the West 20 years on from 9/11 by Neil Oliver:
That was fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing it.
Looking over the comments, it seems like many are blaming the muslims. Please don’t. You really don’t have to go that far afield to know who is responsible. To me it seems obvious that our ruling class had a pretty big hand in it – it served their purpose of creating the surveillance state among other things. Where do you think all those trillions of dollars went? If you haven’t seen this and you are still thinking a small band of Arabs wielding box cutters succeeded without any help please take the time to watch and realize it is much more complicated than just hating on Muslims:
Thanks for posting!!
I am on the section that deals with the twin towers (final third, I think) – I have followed this for 20 years, and I am still learning new things thanks to this video.
Yes, I’ve watched many 9/11 documentaries (that questioned the official narrative) over the years and I’d say this one is the most comprehensive-I thought it did an exceptional job on the 9/11 war games. I think the first one I watched was Sofia Smallstorm’s “9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions.” A couple of other interesting ones were 9/11 Missing Links, which looked at the Cui bono question, and September Clues, which looked at the video fakery/CGI issue. There are lots of interesting articles posted at unz.com. James Corbett has also done lots of important work on 9/11–he has a video called “9/11 The Missing Trillions” and another good one on the war games.
Also, I think a lot of evidence of financial crimes was conveniently destroyed on 9/11 (evidence stored in building 7). And financial expert, Max Keiser, said something about Cantor Fitzgerald being involved in massive treasury counterfeiting operation, and all of that evidence was also conveniently destroyed.
I’ll have to finish it tomorrow – it is pretty long, I still have an hour to go. I remember that Rumsfeld announced the Pentagon had misplaced 2 trillion dollars on 9/10 and there would need to be an investigation – the evidence for that I think was in WTC 7, which of course, the next day got destroyed and that was the end of talking about the missing 2 trillion. I’m pretty sure Cantor Fitzgerald was a market maker for US debt and we all can suspect how fishy that must be – There was a documentary questioning the official narrative that focused on ‘following the money’, but now I can’t find it. I watched it maybe around 2010 and now I can’t remember the name of it. Thanks for pointing out ‘The New Pearl Harbor’!
Yes, I saw that with Rumsfeld and the missing $2.3 trillion- I thought it was Naval intelligence that was working on an audit,but was hit in that section of the Pentagon (but I could be wrong on that). And yes, lots of the 9/11 documentaries (questioning the official narrative) have been taken down. I recall a book by Jeff Prager 9/11 Gold, which was online and very interesting on the financial angle. And there’s an interesting audio with financial expert, Andrew Gause, on Patrick Timone’s radio show, discussing the various financial anomalies- its called “911 World Trace Center Financial Anomalies 15 Years Later with Andrew Gause” posted on the My Spinning Head youtube channel. Anyway, glad you enjoyed “The New Pearl Harbor” documentary–that was a new one for me too. I’m glad Darren Beattie tweeted it out. Nice sharing info with you!
uh ? the Episcopalians did this ? or was it 7th Day adventists ? move on.org
If the Arabs did it, which is an open question because despite all the video cameras typically found in an airport, only one (maybe two) pictures have ever been released of two of them clearing security in Portland (with no time stamp on the video) – they definitely had a lot of help. Watch the video above – I have been following this very closely for 20 years and yet I learned several interesting things. Or, stay asleep if you want – because, you know, it was the muslims.
I was a detailed U.S. Customs Service Special Agent/Instructor at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco (FLETC), GA.
The below was all happening at once, so it seemed.
I was in my office preparing for my next lecture to a class of students when a fellow Agent/Instructor flew down the stairway & yelling that the WTC was attacked & on fire & that his sister is in there, my sister is there, my sister! at the top of his lungs to everyone.
Everyone in our bldg ran to the break room TV. We saw the 1st plane hit. Everyone of us said it was an intentional attack. No Way that was an accident ! Then we saw the 2nd attack live.
Most of us knew people in or near the WTC. The US Customs Service had an office in Six World Trade Center (which also went down.) I and other Agents knew fellow Agents in that bldg.
Federal Agencies were asking for volunteers to respond to the site. Most of us in my bldg were volunteering but were turned down. Our headquarters said that they needed us to stay in place so as to train an avalanche of new hires they were planning to hire due to the attack. And yep, we subsequently got swamped w/ new hires.
Then we heard that the Pentagon was also attacked.
My son works in DC fairly close to the Pentagon. I couldn’t get thru to him until about 6pm that nite. He said he was OK but could’nt get home due to blocked areas.
Also Then-
Some of the Agent/Instructors believed that FLETC might also be on the hit list. They were warning that we maybe we should avoid the cafeteria bldg as it’s near to the center of base & a lot of people would be there at one time
Why were we concerned? What better way to cripple law enforcement.
FLETC provides basic & advanced training to over 105 federal (includes military), state, local, tribal & foreign law enforcement agencies. It is the largest law enforcement training center in the U.S.
FLETC, Glynco has 1,068 employees, a lot of detailees & 100s of students on base at any given time. Detailed Instructors are from LEAs across the U.S. FLETC sits on 1,600 acres that was previously a military base.

I am not an early riser. All my friends knew to never call me before 10am unless it’s a serious emergency. At 6am Pacific Time my friend Roz called and said, “Turn on Fox News and call me later” and then she hung up.
I turned on Fox News. It was over 3 hours before I was able to get out of bed and make some coffee. My heart ached for the fate of those who died that morning. I knew that morning that life as we had known it was over forever.
My husband and I were living in Chatsworth (San Fernando Valley) California and he came upstairs to wake me after the first plane hit (I always sleep later than he does). I did get up immediately and came downstairs to watch…and then the second plane hit. We were totally freaked out. Later that day I went to my PCP and he was asking me a lot of questions since he couldn’t watch any coverage. The thing that really hit home was when he asked me if the Pentagon had been hit and I said yes.
A few weeks after this happened, we were supposed to get together with some people from my teenage years in Lakewood, CA that my husband had never met but it all just fell apart–nobody ever re-connected.
A month later I called Peggy Brill to ask a question about her book The Core Program (I was surprised that I got her, personally, on the phone because one of her offices had been at Morgan Stanley which had been completely destroyed on 9/11.

Where was I? And what memories do I have.
I was in floor 61 of WTC Tower 2. But my memories don’t’ start there. It all began in Miami when I said goodbye to my family on Sunday September 9th with an unusual heavy heart, none of us ever cried when I said goodbye for my trips. This time we all did. I could never sleep on airplanes but this time I slept so deeply that I didn’t even know where I was when we landed in N.Y. Went to my hotel. My roommate didn’t show up until Monday September 10th at 5:00 AM to pick up his bags. Introduced himself and gave me his subway pass. He was going to stay with his in-laws in Manhattan so no use for subways. The bus came by and picked us up. 255 of us were there from all over for the last two weeks of training with one of the largest brokerage firms in the world.
Day 1 – September 10th 2001 Today was orientation day. I was excited and full of hope. Could not wait for the training to end so I could hit the phone and start my career. Last thing I did that day after getting my ID and elevator pass was memorize the subway that would take me to my hotel, just in case. 1-2-3 Up Town. Took the bus back to the hotel. Went out that night with some colleagues, I was asked when I was to return to Miami and without giving it any thought I replied “Thursday”. Don’t know why I said that.
Day 2 – September 11th 2001 – Woke up at 5:30 AM. The room was very cold, I took a fast shower, got dressed and made my way to the lobby. My heart and mind were racing with anticipation and could feel the same from my colleagues as we waited for the bus to go back to the towers to start our first conference at 7:30 AM. Conference started, I feel insecure, can’t concentrate. Thoughts start poring into my mind, “am I hungry?”, “nervous?, what? Could not pinpoint what I was feeling. 8:30 AM the first speaker announces that he’s done and that we’ll reconvene in 20 minutes. I was the first one up and walking towards the door. Saw the Continental Breakfast table across the room and as I made my way there saw an elevator with it’s door open through a long hallway to my right. Made a military right walked what seemed like an everlasting minute, got into the elevator. I was the only one going down. Got to the 40th floor had to change elevators, again I was the only one going down. Got to the first floor, did another military right when I saw the street. Pushed through the revolving door. As soon as my foot stepped out BAM! The weirdest thunder like noise I has ever heard. Everyone was asking what happened. No one knew. The person that got out before me looks up and yells at the top of his lungs: “Oh shit! Everyone looks up and chaos explodes. There is all kinds of debris raining down, people are scrambling, yelling, running, looking for shelter. The guy that yelled along with 6 others and myself run toward the revolving doors which gets jammed and now I have 7 people stuffed in the compartment with me. That hurt. After a couple of minutes we managed to get out. My only point of reference is my employer’s office in floor 61 so I make my way in to catch the elevator but they have frozen them until they figure out what is going on. I decide to go find out for myself. I go out and around Tower 2 and make my way to Tower 1 where I see hundreds looking up in awe to what the first ATTACK plane did. As soon as I grab my spot and look up I see the first person jump trying to get away from the fire. My brain is in shock, my heart is hurting, I start feeling the Adrenalin rush that I feel when racing only this time it’s 10 times stronger. I turn away before the first person hits the ground and started walking through the crowd around Tower 1 thinking that I had to go back to the office when BAM! Tower 2 gets hit by the second ATTACKERS. The ball of fire we saw and felt was surreal. Everyone in the huge group I was in froze for a second and then PANDEMONIUM. I was caught in a stampede of people running for their lives, unable to turn or stop but had to go with the flow. Had no idea where I was going, things were falling from the sky, people were getting hit by debris, people were falling down, yelling, crying, sirens howling all over the place, the streets were frozen, chaos. We got to a plaza where people started dispersing. I was in front of some college and decided to stop to asses the situation. I could not think, my body wasn’t shaking or trembling. It was waving uncontrollably, best way I can describe it. Could not stand still because it felt like my knees would fold when I did so I started walking in small circles. All that came to mind and then out of my mouth was: “Lord, what would you have me do?” again and again… After my 7th circle I stopped and looked up. There was a sign for a subway. Made my way to it and it was the 1-2-3 Up Town. I didn’t think about it, started running down the stairs as I remembered my roommate’s subway pass. As I pulled it out and got to the bottom there was a large heavy set black lady crying her heart out. Came up to her and advised her to get out of the area to which she responded: “Thank you baby, but I think I’ll just sit here and pray, lots of good folk will die here today” again I advised against it but she asked: What are you doing down here?” “I am looking to get on the 1-2-3 Up Town” I responded. She said: ” See that train coming in now? That’s it, God bless you”. “Won’t you come with me?” I asked a third time. “I will help you” (she must have been like 300 pounds) But she just signaled with her hand to go. As I got into the train I found that everyone there was oblivious to what was going on. A lady pointed out to me by asking: “What happened to you”? To me? I asked. “Yes, what happened to your arm?” I was wearing a white long sleeve shirt, my left sleeve was covered in blood which I had not noticed and was no mine.
I ended going back home via train on Thursday.
People! – Don’t forget 9/11/01 – It can happen again. Many have forgotten and we are now more vulnerable than ever.
Wake Up!
Two words, must watch. Queued, hit play (1 min, 30 sec duration). After vid plays hit replay to watch from beginning (4 mins duration).
Lots of 9/11 conspiracy posts from you today.
Instead of puffing yourself up with pride and putting me down you should’ve been commenting on the content of the documentary by professional engineers and architects.
If I’m a conspiracy theorist for believing what my eyes see and what more than 6,000 architects and engineers have to say after decades of research, then you’re a conspiracy theorist for believing hundreds of witnesses, auditors, and cyber security experts who say the election was stolen.
Pot, meet kettle.
