The 25th anniversary of the attacks on 9-11 present 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 when we found out our nation was under attack. Our nation was forever changed by those moments on September 11th, 2001.

Perhaps we can share our memories together as we think about the anniversary of this date.
Where were you on that day? And what memories are most vivid for you?

Living in Seattle. Woke up to a message on my phone.
It was a friend of mine saying “Turn on your TV”.
Turned on the TV and immediately saw the carnage in NYC.
I had so many friends and family living in Manhattan. Started calling them right away and of course all the phone lines were jammed. Eleven people and I couldn’t reach one of them. And nobody I knew could, either.
Finally gave up and stepped outside my door to walk down the main street in the U Wash. neighborhood. Walked by a phone booth (yes, there were still phone booths at that time), and a girl in her 20’s was all excited , gleefully shouting to her friend on the phone “They did it!! They did it!! They finally blew up the WTC!!!”
Several days later, I finally started getting ahold of people in NYC. Thankfully, they were all OK but, boy, did they have some stories to tell. And people (myself included) were worrying about the toxic smoke smell all over the city.
When I got ahold of my favorite elderly person, living by herself on the Upper West Side around 70th Street, her reaction to “How are You?” was – in typical NY fashion- “Oh, I’m just fine. WTC is sooooo far away from where I am”. LOL. Gotta love her.
The way NY’ers acted towards each other was so uplifting and bled out to the rest of the country. I remember thinking the terrorists were idiots to blow up NY. All it did was increase love of others across the country.
If they’d really wanted to wreak havoc, they would’ve blow up something along the West Coast. Could’ve torn the country apart with that one.
>> a girl in her 20’s was all excited , gleefully shouting to her friend on the phone “They did it!! They did it!! They finally blew up the WTC!!!”
What is the matter with so many people on the left coast??
I don’t know. Blew my mind.
Could not imagine a possible reason to get all happy about so many innocent people dying.
… and you couldn’t break her knees?
Just for your information…Hubby working that morning at the City of Seattle building downtown…was evacuated because they had info that the Colombia Tower, tallest Seattle building, next door was also targeted.
I do believe that quickly grounding all planes actually saved a lot of lives especially on the West coast.
Can remember when both towers of the WTC came down, one hour after planes hit the buildings near the top floors. Eyes popped out of sockets. Jaw hit the floor.
Can remember seeing pictures of the open field in Shanksvile, PA and no plane visable anywhere.
Can remember the short, jumpy, blurry video of what they called a plane hitting the Pentagon. And later seeing the buiding with a round hole in it. No plane in the hole. No skid marks on the lawn.
Can remember seeing building number 7 in NYC coming down without a plane hitting it.
Can remember hearing Trump on a radio call saying there must have been explosives involved. Said the WTC was built very strong. Impossible planes could do such damage.
Precisely. If you want to read a book that will shake you to your core (and asks a lot of unanswerable questions), read “The Trigger” by David Icke. (See on Amazon:

“VIDEO: Mamdani and AOC Seen Laughing During 9/11 Names Reading at Ground Zero”

(Despicable.)
How disgusting and disrespectful, to do that during the reading of names of victims of all things.
wow. No shame.
If more people see this they would never hesitate to vote.
I can’t imagine the horror of deciding to jump or burn alive.
Thanks for posting this – I couldn’t watch/look for long because it is just too painful, but it is SO important to NEVER FORGET! My best friend’s daughter died in the tower that day at the age of 23 and now my friend, at age 86, was able to go with her surviving daughter and young grandchildren to NYC today. So many people to pray for God to heal their broken hearts. Thanks again for posting-I never heard of that website and I am now subscribed.
Thank you. (But, the REAL person to thank is Bonni at the BNI blog.)

I was at work at a major telecom company in Northern Virginia. We had TV screens on in some of the conference rooms. The director of my IT organization was a former Marine commander. Went outside around 9:30 a.m. and saw an F16 fly overhead of our campus near Dulles Airport. It was the only plane in the sky.
An employee of our company was on the top of one of the Twin Towers building working on an antenna. He didn’t make it out.
We were let off early from work that day, as schools did also. My then 7 year old son asked me if any more planes were going to hit buildings. I could only say “I hope not.”
I was in high school. The entire day was surreal.
What I remember most was how fast the narrative engineering kicked in. I was on the school newspaper that year, and had had a summer camp at the journalism sschool at one of our state universities earlier that summer (one of the top schools in the nation). It had been an eye-opening experience in how deliberately manipulative the news was. Then I saw that in real time with 9/11. We had a day or two where everyone rallied together, then the “blame America not Islam” drum started up.
A few years later, when I joined the military, that divide became even more apparent and stark.
Twenty-five years of being gaslit, lied to, and abused by the media. Thousands of Americans dead, thousands more in the wars that followed. The whole thing is just… I don’t know how we ever heal from this.
What part of the country were you in, Yin?
I still have the 3 newspapers I bought for my young children to remember. I haven’t pulled them out since. Living in rural NY by that time really didn’t have much effect on them. I should have gave the papers to them this year, but I’d like to actually read one first to see how slanted it is!
I was in 7th grade, 2nd hour computer class. We were told a plane had hit the World Trade Center in New York city. None of the teachers talked about it the rest of the day at school. During English class we went to the library and the TV was on in there but muted. When I got home I turned on the TV and saw the infamous clips of Palestinians celebrating. I cried so much. It was my introduction to Islam. I knew what Judaism was, it was part of the Bible, but here was something I’d never been told about before. I will never forget.
Shortly after the twin towers had fallen and the jetliner crashing into the Pentagon, I recall being stunned by the federal law enforcement officers armed with high powered & scoped rifles lined up across the roofline of a federal building–in the heart of the country. I’ve never seen anything like it since and pray never to see the necessity for that level of force again. It was a very sobering moment knowing the potentiality of an enemy attack reaching across the country.
I’ve taken a lesson from that day: stay vigilant, stay aware, be prepared to protect and defend ourselves and others. Never assume the coast is clear because this is a physical and spiritual war we’re in. Trust in our Lord and pray often and pray ardently for His guidance and protection.
Stay safe Treepers, stay prepared and on guard, and pray often for peace.
I remember seeing a fully armed National Guardsmen standing in an intersection in Boston’s Back Bay, which is essentially a neighborhood of college students. No federal offices or high-profile targets. Just a relatively quiet and middle upper class neighborhood. Might have been on the afternoon of the 11th or possibly the next day. Whenever it was that was the moment the initial period of shock wore off and I began to realize the implication of “things were different now.”

The bartender and commiedami think 9/11 and the victims’ families are laughable as the names of the dead r read aloud: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/09/sick-mamdani-aoc-laugh-as-names-honored-dead/
Get islam and those who support sharia law out of our Republic… the enemies within like these 2 hate Americans and America
God bless our Republic
I absolutely remember standing at an airline gate in Madison, Wi following a job interview and watching the second plane hit. I knew immediately we were at war. It was the first time in my life I did not know how I was going to get home to Texas. Fortunately, I was able to return in a taxi (all the rental cars were gone before I got my wits about me) back to the hotel to get my room back where I stayed for the next week until greyhound bus service was restored. Fortunetly, the hotel provide me a cash advance and I was able to walk to the bus station. My most vivid memory was about how different the ride home was compared to an earlier trip in college. Most of the passengers were professional and the mood was solemn as well as collaborative. There was such a feeling of comraderie that was so obviously abnormal. The trip took 3 days with many transfers and was very draining, but I was just very gratiful for a way home.
Of course, there was the delicate communication with my current employer at the time about why my 3 day vacation turned into 2 weeks because I was so far away from home. That day, the company I was interviewing with lost an entire division located in one of the towers, so the job offer was unsurprisingly withdrawn. God knew the plan for my life better than I ever could, so things worked out for my family and am still blessed each and every day. Altough the experience was hard, the universal harmony and oneness of mind of the country during that period was marvelous to witness.
First images I saw of the first tower burning and that an airplane hit it, I knew it was a terrorist attract because of the clear sky. Then the second plane obviously confirmed it. I later found out a woman I knew quite well was on the first plane hitting the towers. I had lived west of Boston for several years but moved back to Michigan five years before the attack. She was just 33 years old.
I was teaching high school. The PA system came on and said what was happening. All the teachers had the TV on for the rest of the day. I remember going into my little office between classes and praying (at the time I wasn’t very religious). Learning today that we had two jets in the air to kamikaze the Pennsylvania plane sent me into tears. I can’t imagine having to have the courage to do that (thank God they didn’t have to, and thank the heroes on that plane).
My son joined the Army as a result of this (he was 9 at the time). He served in Afghanistan, got lung caner from the burn pits, survived by a Dr willing to exceed the radiation limits and he had to sign a waiver for it, and after Biden’ “withdrawal” he has become very bitter about why did he bother to serve.
I prefer to live in the present.
Tragedy yes but focus on positive actions for preventing this from happening again.
i was travelling to a client off the Dulles Toll Road when I heard on the radio that planes were flying into buildings in NYC. Never imagining that something like that could occur in DC.
Following that appointment I drove to my muti-story office in Tysons Corner that was located on a hill where we could see the smoke rising from the Pentagon. It was a horrific day.
I’m a bit late to this, and my story is not unlike that of many who have already posted. In my job I have several big deadlines during the year, and one of them happens to be September 15th. So as 9/11/2001 dawned, I was underwater with work, completely bogged down.
As I was walking into work that morning, a co-worker asked if I had seen what was going on in NYC. I said no. He said a plane hit the WTC. I asked, “a small plane?” He said, “no, a big plane.” Since I was so busy with work, I thought that was really strange, but I had things I had to do. So, I went about my morning as I normally do when there is a looming deadline.
Someone in another office had a radio on, and although I couldn’t hear clearly what it was saying, it was obvious by the interest my co-workers were showing that something serious was happening. I went on the internet, but it was so slow (those were the days of dial-up) that I couldn’t find any useful info. Finally, when the first tower fell, someone in the office screamed and I got up and went to the office with the radio.
When I found out what happened, my first thought was “we are now at war.” One of my co-workers thought that was an overreaction, but I told him, “I guarantee you we will be in Afghanistan within a month.” At about noon that morning a meeting was called, and we were told to leave for the day. Like many, for the rest of the day we watched the news and the endless replays of the towers being hit and then falling, and the disaster in lower Manhattan.
The next morning, driving to work, there was a guy on an overpass that ran over the highway, facing traffic while waving a huge American flag. Every car that went by leaned on their horns in a show of support. As I got closer to work, I passed a construction site, where the workers had placed a giant hand-made sign facing the road that said, “Nuke Pakistan”. Well, bin Laden was in Afghanistan, but for me on that day, Pakistan would have done just as well.
That day and the next 6 weeks or so was the only time in my life when I experienced a truly united America, and I thought that this must have been what it was like for my parents after Pearl Harbor.
As we know it was short-lived. When I think back to that day from where we are today, I am shocked at how far we have fallen. That day was a wake-up call to all Americans about what Islam really is and what its intentions are. Instead of destroying those people, as we should have done, we wasted so many lives and enormous sums of money on Iraq Part II. I remember their motto was “let’s fight them over there, so we don’t have to fight them here.”
Bush & Co and the parasitic Congress were (and are still) all despicable liars. Since that day they have polluted our country with these depraved Muslims, and as it turns out, we will have to fight them here.
Dear God, I pray for the souls of those lost that day and for the families left behind.
Amen
“Since that day they have polluted our country with these depraved Muslims, and as it turns out, we will have to fight them here.”
Astute
I have not heard these stories before, pretty incredible. So many, many stories that we must keep alive.
Weird seeing some of the images enhanced in this video, I watch it every year and this is the first one that popped up. So many videos I have looked for and can’t seem to find.
I was on my way to work at the World Financial Center , almost at the bottom of the staircase along side the WTC south tower. I heard a low flying plane, a crashing noise, and then debris flying off the north tower. People, myself included, started running away from the WTC buildings. As i continued my route west towards the office one block south of the WTC, i could see body parts on the ground, personal effects and paper flying everywhere. I met up with colleagues evacuated from my building along the West Side Highway. As we stood trying to figure out what was going on, the shadow of plane 2cruised over us and i watched it smash into the south tower WTC just above where i had been 10 minutes earlier and i heard the glass smashing on impact. Realizing we were under attack, i quickly began going south figuring i’d distance myself from the site, then begin walking east and north toward my apartment. While enroute, i overheard from a passing cop car that the Pentagon had been hit, stopped at South St Seaport to listen to a news report from a cab radio. The collapse of the south tower was broadcast, i turned my head left and saw the massive cloud of dust and debris headed my way and ducked into a tavern. Got to the payphone and called my mom. Watched the north tower fall on TV. Waited for the air to clear, left the tavern and continued my walk home with the sleeve of my sweater covering my face like a mask to protect myself from the grit hanging in the air. Arrived home several hours later to over 20 phone messages on my answering machine from concerned family and friends seeking to confirm my safety.
thanks for your first-hand account, Marisa
I was studying, living in Buffalo, NY. Just 1 year ago in the fall of 2000, I arrived in the US on an F-1 student visa to pursue a master’s degree in computer science engineering.
I am now back home in India and cannot quite believe that 25 years have gone by. I also find it incredibly hard to believe that my views on who was behind 9/11 have radically changed. The psychotic madness of “Covid” opened my eyes in ways like nothing else could.
While dwelling on the past beyond a point is usually counterproductive, i cannot forget 9/11 for its innocent victims and the painful lesson i learnt about the reality of who actually is in control of the US
I have to censor myself but I wish everyone can wake up to the ugly reality of what truly transpired that day
I was home in my working out…….usually listen to music when doing, but for some reason I turned on the TV. AND right at that moment I watched the second plane hit the towers! I was aghast. Couldn’t believe it. Then it dawned on me this was an attack….we have been attacked! Not long after….they closed down all flights, airports. I live by one. Close to all this in Cleveland. And….right away I could hear a plane that I knew shouldn’t be in the air……I went outside and realized this was the one turning around and heading back to PA as it did so over me.
I was standing outside by my pond that I designed and have had for years. And….as I looked down upon some rocks I was close by I saw for the first time ever…….an very large snake that startled the hell out of me. I’ve never had snakes or seen them. Well, I went to the shed to get a shovel to end his day since I surely didn’t want him eating my fish…….but….when I returned and moved the rock….that was blocking my view……I could now see that this was not just one snake….but a mother with a whole bunch more.
That….reminds me of the being evil we encountered that day.
And there was more to my experience that day about 911……and the story we have been sold on it…….and how once we remove the rock that blinds or hides the truth of what really is……we don’t know what we are dealing with.
Just like the Waren Commission………..the 911 Commission had the same agenda.
I was there.
I rewatched the footage and read many bio’s on the victims that day on Instagram. I didn’t remember that right after impact a huge fireball came down the building through the elevator and into the lobby. The media won’t show the speeches some surviving relatives gave asking why the Saudis weren’t held accountable. A quarter of a century has passed now.
Our building was north of the Pentagon at 20th and Pennsylvania Ave. We stood at a south-facing window and tried to understand what was happening. One guy wondered where he should go because he lived near the Capitol. We didn’t know how many planes were still in the air. I heard a rumor that the State Department had been hit by a car b0mb.
I risked taking Metro because I was afraid to walk by the White House on my way home. Once I got home, I stood along the Potomac in SWDC, across the river from the Pentagon and watched the smoke billow and heard many explosions.
9/11 will Always be a Tuesday to me 😥
