So much respect to the cameraman who carries the heavy camera while walking on such dangerous site.

The ground zero site burned for 100 days. Finally put out just before Christmas.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m_JILsgBmw&t=376">6:16</a> eerie to see that clock as physical proof how time stopped after the first tower hit. Not just there, but everywhere in US. God bless

The very smart head of the PATH trains immediately shut this line down when the terrorists hit, allowing time for people to leave the station before the buildings collapsed on top of it. This is what saved lives.

The bookstore at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m_JILsgBmw&t=290">4:50</a> gives such an apocalyptic feel. A symbol of calm civilization hit by a disaster seemingly out of nowhere, no one could even imagine.

Sad how a tragedy like that made everyone united. How soon we forgot and 25 years later we seem more divided than we ever have been.....

It's a credit to the tenacity and indomitable spirit of those working at the site that this awful mess was cleaned up so fast. 25 years later, many have died from diseases related to their cleanup work; still more are chronically ill from this exposure. The federal government should cover the healthcare of each and every one of them. These people might not have saved lives, but they're still heroes in my book!

The brief silence before “something fell?” was eerie. God bless these people in doing this impossible work.

A total of 2,977 victims murdered that day. Some people do not know, but at least that number, is the number of people who have passed away since then, of 9/11 cancers and respiratory issues. In reality 6,000 plus people were murdered.
