  1. to those commenting that it's their own fault for not wearing respirators…. hindsight is always 20/20. Yes, we know now (and knew then) that those working in the search and rescue efforts needed respiratory protection, however at the time- the importance was getting those who were trapped in the wreckage, out. It's not fair to judge others for not wearing a respirator mask when they were busy moving rubble, metal and concrete out of the way to get to those who were crying for help with sometimes their last breaths. These 1st responders were doing the best they could with what little they had to work with- may God bless them all for their sacrifices they made then and continue to make now.

  2. What i do not understand is how they came up with who was eligible health coverage etc due to the aftermath. I lived in Williamsburg when it occured and you my mother and grandmother literally watched the second plane hit the building and watched the buildings fall from our window yet they say we were not affected by what happened when the smoke, sud etc traveled. That day was one of the most traumatizing moments of our lives and we almost lost a family member in the towers but somehow do not qualify. Smh

  3. “We know asbestos was in there, was in those buildings. Lead is in the those buildings. There are the VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds), however, the concentrations are such that they don’t pose a heath hazard.” – EPA head Christine Todd Whitman at Ground Zero days after 9/11

  4. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
    Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others. But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted".
    Matt 23 NIV

    YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

    If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.

    AND WHEN YOU PRAY, DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. BUT WHEN YOU PRAY GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

    This, then, is how you should pray:

    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.

    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

    "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search.
    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.
    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

    Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    GOD IS SPIRIT so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.

    In the New Heaven and New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

  5. Congratulations Joe. Thank you for ending America's senseless Bombing in the name of Peace.

    The 20 year war that cost $300M a day and 2,461 American lives is equal to only 2 days Covid deaths.

    Cyber attacks make US weapons, vehicles, planes and ships nothing more than expensive scrap metal.

    Abandon ideological prejudice and jointly follow a path of peaceful co-existence, mutual benefit and win-win co-operation. Xi Jinping..

  6. Americans are requesting that Biden and his voters abstain from 9/11 ceremonies, due to their disrespect of the fallen by surrendering to the Taliban.

  7. Ah yes, our country makes so much sense, we rush to spend billions of dollars the next few months after 9/11 to invade countries but just now 20 years later the govt is helping survivors

  8. а ты, бабушка Дорис, поживи на Донбасе при постоянных обстрелах из тяжелого вооружения – сразу забудешь про кошмар 9.11

  9. It was horrendous even out West! We were alerted later that, we needed to be alerted to terrorist threats and our national security information. In New York City, it was worse. The memories were terrible at first after 9/11, because we went to war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Twenty years later, we are finally out of this conflict. Yikes!

  10. I noticed so many firemen do not have masks on or anything and that smoke cant be healthy. seems silly if you have ever breathed bad smoke from a fire or anything it immediately chokes you to the point of not breathing and sometimes worse like everything locks up like burning plastic or rubber or chemicals. PLus carrying 80-100 pounds of equipment up stars seemed way too hard for most if not all.

  11. Its good to bring up the issue 20 years later. The men and women who braved the day most have died and some suffered horrible health issues but no one spoke about it. Now we can debate the issue you know, that one time we remember them

  12. باید میزدند خواهر شما نجاسات را بگاهند…بیشرفهای نجس…به درک که سقط شدید……..ریدن به پدرتان و مادرتان و همه روزگارتان….دزدها و استعمار گران نجس…😠😠😠😡😡😡😡😡😢😴😴😴😝👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

  13. I was a little kid when it happened . 2001 Sept. The planes were crashing into really tall buildings .
    It was amazing .

  14. In 1998, my neighbor Cindy’s daughter moved to NYC for a new job..she was in her early 20’s. We moved to a different neighborhood, but in 2012, I ran into the my former neighbor again. I asked if Amy was still in Manhattan; how was she doing? Cindy told me sadly that Amy was dead; she had developed a small-cell carcinoma from the toxic fallout at Ground Zero…”collateral damage “ from one of the darkest and most evil days in American history. I had no idea; how many people really died because of 911…?
    Her name was Amy, she had so much to give.
