I just posted my memories late last night…and was just over reading some of the others. Only these five years later, am I able to even look at this footage…but it still leaves me speechless, as well.
I think I’ve been sort of holding my breath, trying NOT to remember how truly horrendous it really was. So much for holding my breath. Seeing this brought it all right back and made me cry again.
Sorry Boo, I started to watch and couldn’t finish it. After typing my story last night and then being hit by the news this morning, I’ve had all I can handle for one day. Thanks for remembering this important day!
Still so painful to watch. There were there points in this video where I found myself crying out “NO!” just the way I did that awful day. Will we ever come to terms with it?
You know this is the first year that I have actually watched the footage again. I blogged about my memories of this day yesterday after rewatching the film footage…and like Shannon, I found myself saying NO! too.
May we never forget.
I still get so angry and my tears well up with the cowardly stupidity on their part and the innocence lost on ours.
The only thing missing from that clip is the courageous act and bravery of Flight 93. They too played a valiant part reminding us that we do not have to sit idly and let others take away our right to defy their terrorism and implied fear – implied because it is only real if we let it take root and hold. I thank God that some up in that plane said “NO!”, giving us the courage and example to do the same.
Yes, we do. I posted my memories too. For some reason, this year’s anniversary is harder for me. I don’t know why. Maybe because I have learned more of the details. God Bless!
I remember several weeks later that you and I went to NYC and signed the memorial wall at Trinty Church/St. Paul’s Chapel. I remember getting as close as we could to the smoldering rubble of the WTC and taking pictures of the last piece of tower that was left standing. I remember that people whispered, if they spoke at at all. I remember the sense of reverence that you and I both felt.
May we always remember.
As painful and heart-wretching as it is to watch, maybe if more of the mainstream watched it more often, they would appreciate that it is better to be fighting OVER THERE instead of here.
It still leaves me wracked with sobs and numb.
Thanks for posting the video. o/
Wow.
Upon seeing NBC’s David Bloom (who I just LOVED – I mourned his passing – so sad), I reached out to touch his shoulder then realized, it was only my monitor.
A very moving video. Thanks for sharing.
After 5 years the wounds are still so fresh. It doesn’t take much to bring this pregnant girl to a teary mushy mess. It seems that 5 years later the enormity of 9/11 would have had time to sink in, but it still seems unbelievable to me. Thanks for sharing. . .
Thank you for posting this video. It was so well put together and brought back all of those same feelings and tears just like when it happened five years ago. What a reverent remembrance of 9/11.
still leaves me speechless……

No matter how many times I’ve seen it, it takes my breath away.

I’m crying while I’m typing a response to this post. I still remember and will always be filled with emotions when I think on that day!!
