Yeah, this is difficult. Hello, My Name is michael mcmullin, and im speaking to you on January 17th inside of a Plywood Box here to relate my Rec Elections of 9 11. Um, i mean, obviously, its very unresolved for me. I could see the damage being done to people, when they couldnt tell their own story in their own words. It was just planes, planes, planes, building down, building down. There was absolutely no space for more complicated stories about what people actually felt. So this is it. Well, Go check to see. I just clicked it. See if it went off. So we wanted to bust open Space Forte that. As you can see, were in action. Once people went inside the booths, they controlled the recording. They controlled their own story hey. It became absolutely clear that this really was a very shattered experience with a lot of Feeling And Emotion behind it. Im just not and our purpose was to capture exactly that. To tell the personal truth of what 9 11 was. Okay. This is not working. What the hell was that . The Trade Center, the Trade Center oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. So my husband and i had decided that we were Going to take the morning to do Sommer Rands and have breakfast together. Orni and so we dropped our daughter off at school. R i came down the stairs from The School, and my husband was talking to a stranger, and he had a a page from a Paperback Novel in his hand, and the edges were burnt. And i said whats that . He said look over there. Oh my God. What is up with that . [ siren ] is on fire. The whole left side of the building is just a huge explosion. E my first thought was is that the building that my son works in . Wa because if that was his building, my son was in a lot of trouble because the smoke was up high and my son worked on the 105th Floor. Jesus christ. I remember holding up my hand to the building and trying somehow to count down the number of floors from the top of the building. And i said to myself, how can he get past that fire . Was just terrible. It was bleeding. The building was bleeding into the sky. Ib i said to myself, this doesnt feel Good. This is something terribly wrong. There are people up there. So stay where you are. Theyre making their way up now. I was on the 87th floor, and i didnt know what hit us. I mean, we thought it was an earthquake, and we shook so strong. The shake was so strong that we thought we were just Going to tilt right over in the water beneath us. I heard something coming overhead, and you could hear, it sounded like a plane was in distress. You heard it like it was in trouble. I said, steve, what is that smell . He s said, i dont know. It smells like gas. It smells like fuel. Maybe it was a plane. Thats when i started to cry, started toar panic. What are we Going to do . They need customized Car Insurance from Liberty Mutual so they only pay for what they need.

So my mother Got on the phone, and she lived just across The Street from the world Trade Center. Come over here. Did you put your tv on . Do you know whats happening . And i said no. She said oh my God. And she was crying hysterically. I said mom, whats Going on . And my brother said dont tell her, dont tell her, tell her to come here now. Across The Street. People say that its chaos down there at the scene, and eyewitnesses say that this plane actually seems to be in the building. The plane. At this point, i thought oh, this is just a fire. Thats not so bad. There will be scaffolding on the world Trade Center for years, and theyll fix it. But then i saw my dad on the sidewalk, and he turned around and he was crying. And he was hysterical. And ive never really seen my dad cry. And he said oh my God, they were just Going to work like i Go to work. They were just Going to work today. I took off my shoes because everybody knows i wear shoes, jojo wears high heels all the time. Im known for it. So what i did is i took off my shoes and rolled up my pants and i put my sweater around my waist, and we all Got together and we all crawled through the debris and smoke. We looked at the other side of the floor. All You Saw was a black hole. Police officer, whats your emergency . Okay, seriously, were trapped in the west hallway. Hello, sir . Hello . Hello . Realizing that youre helpless is a terrible thing for a parent. I mean, thats my son. My perfect son. Maybe hell Go up to the roof. Helicopters will save him. Maybe he has already escaped. But he must have Gone past that fire, because he is alive and he is Going to come out to me. And its a story that well tell to Each Other and to his children, my grandchildren in the future. Hi, My Name is lisa knapp, and today is September 10th, 2002. I basically spent the past 364 days trying to avoid what happened. Just because im not ready, and i thought maybe this would be the best way to do it. So this is kind of a therapy for me as much as it is, you know, telling my story. With all all the Debris Falling, one of the guys at my desk grabbed me and said lets Go, lets get out of here. But then it dawned on me that my friend lindsey moorhouse, one of my best friends from school was in the second tower on the 89th floor. Shes Got to be okay. Obviously she has to be okay because there is no Way Anything bad could ever happen to anybody i know. Into the second building stupidly, i left my Cell Phone on my desk. And so i didnt know how to get In Touch with her. A second airplane, a 727 just rammed into the building. I remember understanding that it was terrorism at that moment, but i just i think i was just in such shock that i didnt feel any pain. I didnt understand the significance. I grabbed my camera, Got my videotape, went outside my building, and i could not believe it. It sounds fun i know have this analogy, but a star Wars Movie when obiwan kenobi heard the planet exploding in the beginning, and he said something like he heard the voices of A Million people who perished. That loud explosion, i really felt like the voices of all those lives. I kept saying over and over im scared, im scared. I mean, i was born and raised in philadelphia in the ghetto. So i thought i was a tough cookie. I really did. I really thought i was a tough person. I could handle anything. But i realized just how much i couldnt handle. In the air, you could feel the reality of it. It was just so very apparent that the world had changed. What shocks me now is i could have lived 54 years and not understood how instantaneously things can change and how suddenly just in an instant life is Gone, and you Go from a moment of just this extraordinary beauty to this extraordinary Horror And Terror and ugliness. It it flipped me into a different sort of consciousness about where i was in the world. Suddenly i wasnt just in my apartment in some neighborhood in new york city. Suddenly, i was witnessing some colossal terrifying process of being in the world. I guess maybe now getting this off my chest, im a little more willing to talk about things and to face what happened and to come to terms with lindseys death. But i just cant get over the fact that shes Gone because its just its too much to think about. And what happened that day is still too much for me to think about. So, yeah. I guess thats it. Okay, this unfortunately is typical. Its only in the movies that you get the advanced warnings. Larry, im sorry to interrupt you, but Jim Miklaszewski has some new information at the pentaGon now. Are you there . According to intelligence officials, katie, they had no early indication that anything of this nature could happen. It was my first day here at the pentaGon. I brought a few personal items with me that day. I brought a bible. I brought my palmpilot. I brought a novel for me to read at lunchtime. I went to Go meet my younger Sister Patty in the center court, which is in the center of the pentaGon. And we talked for a while, and we joked. And we also mentioned the uncomfortableness about what was Going on in new york that day. And i remember thinking at one point, oh, lets Go shopping. Lets get out of here. But too realistic and too dedicated to our work to do that. PentaGon officials are scrambling to determine what course of action, if any, the u. S. Military would take. Power. Number one in reliability, 16 times in a row. Most awarded for Network Quality, 27 times in a row. Proving once again that nobody builds networks like verizon. Thats why were building 5g right, thats why theres only one best network. A lot of people think dealing with copd is a walk in the park. If i have something to help me breathe better, everything will be fun and nice. But i still have bad days. Flareups, Cough Cough which can permanently damage my lungs. My lungs need protection against flareups. So its time to get real. Because in the real world. Our lungs deserve the real protection of breztri. Breztri gives you better breathing. Symptom improvement, and flareup protection. Its the first and only Copd Medicine proven to reduce flareups by 52 . Breztri wont replace a Rescue Inhaler for sudden breathing problems.

We are getting reports that the fbi is investigating that these two planes have possibly been hijacked. If she is correct i said guys, its the world Trade Center. If this is terrorism, they are Going to hit the pentaGon. Staff sergeant weathers, thats crazy. Not the pentaGon. Nobody can get to the pentaGon. No way, no how. Its not Going to happen. Boom everyone literally lost their mind. Christ. Right now we have an airplane that crashed into the pentaGon. Get back, get back we began to rush out. But as i was Going out, something in my mind as clear as a bell said Go back. I could feel the heat Going in. All i had was a tshirt, undershirt that i ripped off and put around my face. We ran into the metal doors out there and broke the doors down and went in as far as we could Go in. You could hear the fire above you crackling, and you could know that the smoke was around you because you couldnt see. Going in. Command, weve Got reports of people trapped. A burst of burning debris from the ceiling fell and landed on my hands, and i shook my hands, and i Got up out of my chair, and i started to look around. Everything around me was on fire. The smoke and the fumes started to take my breath away, and i started to cough and choke. And at this point, i just really believed that my life was Going to end at that point, and i cried out to jesus, and i asked him jesus to just help me, help me get out of this. And no sooner i spoke those words, there was a voice that i could hear through the smoke, is there anybody in here . And i called back to him and i said yes, yes, were here, were here. He said i cant see you. I said i cant see you either, but were here. Please keep coming. And then i looked up and i could see the silhouette of a figure moving. So i reached out through the smoke and there was a hand reaching back and it grabbed me and it pulled me and tried to help me. She explained how she prayed to come out and i told her how i prayed to Go in. Dear lord, give me the strength to save this womans life. We answered Each Others prayers. God called him to order and put him into action and he did not waver and he did not falter. He stood strong and brave and came forward. The army awarded me the Purple Heart and the solDiers medal, the highest medal for valor given during peacetime. I told them i didnt want the medals. My reward was when sheila told me i was her guardian angel. God is just an awesome wonder and it still to this day and will forever be a miracle to me that i am still alive. My name is donald byrd. Im a choreographer living here in new york city. While i was watching what i thought was Debris Falling off the building, um it crossed my mind that it was people, and that was unbelievable to me that it might be people that was people that were falling out or jumping out of the building. And so i Got a pair of binoculars to verify it. And what i saw were people holding Each Other and then leaning forward and falling out of the building. And the thing that struck me was that they didnt struggle. I said to myself this just cant be happening. I have to step back and i have to run and leap and bang my head into a wall to come out of the most horrific nightmare ive ever experienced. This cant be true. It was just too much. It was the sadness and the grief and a very deep Sense Of sadness and the mystery of it all. And i sat on a bench and sobbed for a while. And i just hated the people who had flown the planes into the building because they had forced people to make an impossible decision. Either the fire or falling. Lets move lets move evacuate the building. Evacuate the building. I just drove like a Bat Out Of Hell to get as close to the pentaGon as i could, to get to the Day Care because i knew that shelly would meet me there and wed get the kids out. I pulled over and i ran down there and i found the kids and that was the happiest moment of my life. Right there turning on a dime, it became the worst moment of my life because i knew shelly would have been there if she could have. Get some whipped cream on the top too two straws, one check, girl, i Got you bougie like natty in the Styrofoam Squeaksqueakin in the Truck Bed All The Way Home some alabamajamma, she my dixieland delight ayy, thats how we do, how we do, fancy like, Oh Trelegy for copd.

It was an easy decision to apply with sofi loans, just based on the Interest Rate and how much i would be saving. There was only one that stood out and one that actually made sense and that was sofi personal loans. It felt so freeing. I felt like i was finally out of this neverending trap of interest and payments and debt. I kept telling people, look for patty, look for patty. Shes wearing a red dress. She is a smaller version of me. But i didnt want to show too much fear, so i kept looking around for her. I thought think positive because youre Going to find her sometimes this afternoon or this evening. Its very, very confusing here. I was just hoping i would recognize her shape because everybody was so bundled up that was coming out. And i was looking around there and i didnt see anything. I just felt like i would know when i was near her. I just kept Going, kept looking. And the wind was blowing in my face, and i thought of that letter from the civil war, the sullivan letter where he tells his wife that if he Dies in battle, that hell come back and be the breeze against her cheek. And i remember talking just to the breeze and telling shelly if thats you, you Go back and you wait because were coming to get you. We are living through a day, the 11th of september, 2001 that we will be dealing with for a Good long time in our lives and our children as well in their own lives. I want my mommy. My headmaster said this was not a Fire Drill and that it was a terrorist attack. I mean, i never felt so scared in my entire life. I mean, during that day i was only scared to a certain point. I wasnt scared that something happened and i was Going to Die. I wasnt scared of me dying. I was scared of my parents dying. I remember seeing a boy on my way to my next class. Hes one of those really popular boys, you know, the ones you expect to see a smile on his face, nothings wrong. But that day he was crying hysterically. And all i wanted to do was Go up to him and give him a hug. So i did. I had no idea what was wrong. All i know is that he needed someone and i was there for him on that day. Only a very small handful of Terror Groups is on that list and at the top is osama bin laden. The phone started ringing. My husband is a very prominent islamic scholar, and we are muslims. And we realized at that very moment our life was about to change. Because not only do we have to grieve for what has happened and feel the sorrow for all of victims, we now have to Go on this defensive, to defend our faith. And this is a very big burden. But i feel this event is Going to reshape the world into a better place, you know, and we will gain something from it but we have to be patient. You cannot stay here. Im sorry. You Got to Go. Go lets Go gentlemen, lets Go at this point i looked at my mom and my family and i was like this is crazy. Lets get out of here, lets Go. I thought we maybe should just start walking away from the world Trade Center because what if it fell. And i said that and everybody started to calm me down. My neighbors said, Oh Honey are dont get upset. Youre pregnant. Youre really close to your due date. No, its not Going to fall. I said its Going to fall. Theyre Going to fall. All. They need customized Car Insurance from Liberty Mutual so they only pay for what they need. What do you say we see what this bird can do . Woooooooooooooo. We are not getting you a helicopter. Looks like were walking, kid. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. [music i swear] jaycee tried gain flings for the first time the other day. And forGot where she was. You can always spot a first time gain flings user. Music playing.

You saw the firemen coming up on the left. You saw the fear in their faces. All Of A Sudden i saw the light. I was like, wow, theres a light. And i was like here i Go, im Going out. And as i Go out, a cop grabs me and says, miss, you cant Go out there. I says, no, i Got to Go. And i fainted on the spot because what i saw was all the devastation, all the jumpers, all the people that jumped. At that point the cop picked me up and he carried me. Its Going to fall were not safe. People cannot stay here. I ran to the corner, and i just dove under a car. When i dove under the car, a priest was with me and he started saying Hail Mary full of grace. Holy Good lord, God'>Dear God help us.

Im Going to try to talk to some of these guys. This is the scene in Lower Manhattan where the upper floors world Trade Center Tower One apparently have completely collapsed. The world Trade Center, can you tell me what You Saw, what you heard . Are you all right . After the first building fell, i saw these two women sitting next to Each Other, all dishevelled, and they looked like they were in shock. And they werent saying anything. And they looked like they needed help. I walked over to them and i told them that i could take them to my parents home and my mom could give them clothes and a shower and they could call people that loved them, whoever was missing them. But they didnt answer. And some other people started coming around, and i saw these people obviously knew a lot more about helping than i did. So i started backing away. And then i just Got this Gut Feeling to take a picture. There was a nice jewish orthodox boy. He saw me in The Street. He wanted to take me home to his mom and let me call my family. And i really, really appreciate that. She told me that i kind of changed her life around and i saved her day, these sort of things and i really felt silly because i didnt do anything really. I just took a few pictures. I do consider myself so lucky. There were people stuck up there, you know . My father started to call me lucky instead of jojo. I order my groceries online now.

This is United Airlines 93. It crashed south of pittsburgh near the town of shanksville. My name is ernest stull. Im the mayor of the small town of shanksville. I cannot stress that we do not mind the publicity, but we hate the way it happened. We did not want 40 people to be killed to put our little town on the map. Reporter three, two, one. Pa state police tell us the Crash Scene up close looks like a scrapyard, leaving the crew and passengers unidentifiable. Okay, i show all Day Work students assigned to this call. Are there any identifiable pieces of the plane back in the Tree Line . Theres nothing but debris. Just small pieces of Metal And Aluminum and whatever the case may be. Eyewitnesses say they saw . I couldnt compute what i was seeing. It just didnt seem real. Right now the Pennsylvania State police have secured the Crash Scene. I just wanted to know what happened, how it could have happened, why it happened. Specifically because i am an airline pilot. I fly 737800s. I would put myself in the Cockpit And Replay the different scenarios my mind and it was kind of a frightening experience because based on how were trained, were supposed to deescalate the situation and try not to fly. Fight, if not possible. Im sure the pilots did not have a chance. They did not know what was happening and what was coming and im sure that they were executed. This is a massively well coordinated attack that is nothing short of a Declaration Of War on this country. And then another issue is im also in the military. Im in the navy reserves. So im not sure at the moment, but am i Going to be called up to fight or not . Am i Going to have to help protect our country . The Rescue Workers said we need Stretcher Bearers so i just ran and picked up a stretcher and headed further inside the security perimeter. I found myself looking at the door that led down the corridor to shellys office. And there was smoke coming out and things were still burning and everything. You know, i stayed and i didnt have a choice. I knew that if she was in there and she was alive, she was expecting me to come get her. We pulled people out of smoky rooms. We carried wounded. I dont think ill ever forget that pounding on a door or a scream from someone that we couldnt get to. Command, we have structural collapse on the heliport side. Right there i realized how important serving my country is. I have a son and any time im called to duty to Go fight in any country, i will give my life for him. I kept Going i just cant believe this. This cant be happening. Please not patty. She was the catalyst for our family. She was the one who would bring all of us together. On my down days, i have to think shes there watching me and pushing me and saying keep Going, keep Going. I miss her so much. I, again, thank you for this opportunity. Apparently the pilot who flew the plane into the pentaGon, it was among us for a couple of years. How could he be in our Company Culture and walk amongst us and eat with us and not fall in love with any of us . I mean, its beyond our mentality. The other building may come down. Theyve obviously evacuated the whole area as the result of The Crash of one world Trade Center. Now im told Theres Concern about the second one collapsing as well. Plainly there has been an enormous amount of structural damage. My name is mary adam, and today is august 16th, 2002. Its Going to. But if its Going to, i want to be up where it happen, you know what i mean . I talked a lot after September 11th about September 11th, but not so much about my brother charlie murphy, who was on the 105th Floor and worked for cantor. There it Goes. Its Going. Its Going down now. Its Going down now. There it collapses. Oh oh, those poor people. Oh, its hard. When the North Tower fell, i just couldnt believe it. I just fell almost at the same time down to my knee, and it was at that motel, i felt like i knew that charlie was Gone. You know, but a minute later, i began to really believe that he was still alive, and we just went in Default Mode, Default Mode of trying to find charlie and where he would be. And then i heard that maybe there were a whole bunch of guys from cantor still alive underground and they had contacted people. And i grabbed on to that like, okay, you know, like this is definitely true. We were there for three days and calling and looking and following every possibility. My brothers like a hero in our family, just this big, jovial, full of Life Guy who was really coming into his own. He was in love and very happy and soon to be married. So my husband had been working down at Ground Zero, and i remember we had the Air Conditioning on and i had we sat in the Living Room and i cracked a beer, having slipped a few hours here and there, we sat down in this cold room, i tried to call him and he said merry, you know, theyre not Gonna find anybody alive. He said, i saw it, theres nobody, charlie is dead. But i said a prayer with him, it felt so Good to finally have some kind of answer. Everybody knows this but what a tremendous loss of so many great, great people. How foolish. We can see new york city, and the smoke, our thoughts Got to everyone there and everyone else. This has been one of the darkest days in america, even nine, more than nine hours after the disaster began, officials do not know how many people were killed, how many still are trapped in all the rubble. At 6 00, they said look, the Old Guard is Gonna come down to take over stretcher due to, yall are free to Go. Then i was stuck in a quandary. Should i stay there and try to get inside and find shelley, and possibly Die or Go home and be with the kids and leave her there. I still dont know if i made the right choice. But i went home. I figured they needed one parent at their side, they were confused, they did know was Going on. So i went home. A place where everyone lives life wellprotected. And even when things Go a bit wrong, weve Got your back. Here, things work the way you wish they would. And better protection costs a whole lot less. Youre in Good hands with allstate.

The morning people are waking up in disbelief with heavy hearts, especially those who have lost Loved Ones or are concerned about where their Loved Ones are. On the morning of the 12, with two of my paramedics, we went to Ground Zero we were hoping beyond hope that we would see someone. That we would be able to save. But there was a ghost town. The most surreal thing i have ever seen in my life. There were Body Parts everywhere. There was clothing in the trees. The stench was somewhat nauseating, i had smelted before at the morgue, but this was overwhelming. What was the most heartening was the volunteers. Just thousands of people, they would say im from cincinnati, miami, maine, firemen, police there were just round of applause for these people that came from everywhere. They helped with the rescue. I talked to a Construction Guy and i said, who are you and why are you here . He said i am an american, i have to do this. There was no day and no night, there was no time for us to leave. We just stayed there to help. In this war zone. People would walk by, total strangers and touch Each Other because you needed to feel life. I would just do a loop, Go in and out of the blocks with big jugs of coffee, sugar, and milk it Got to the point where we realize that the guys were waiting for us. They were so grateful. I used to be an empty, i wanted to help anyway i could. I climbed through holes and crevices, all over the freak in hell. There were so many weird things, burger kings, morgue it was a triage center, it was a massage tent. I carried boDies, parts of boDies, whatever i never felt so helpless. These guys, these grown man they would come in and sit down and they would just tell you the stories of what theyve been through that day in what they seen. The buckets were the things i couldnt stand, they would fill the buckets with Body Parts and leave them at our station. You had to hold it together because they were in there to talk to you, and they were there because they needed somebody to talk to, to listen to them. What they found, what they call, the remains of my son is a bone fragment. Three inches by an inch and a half, by half an inch. So we have something of him to bury, certainly it isnt enough, but its something. Its a torture that stays with you, and if there are people that can get out from underneath it Got bless them. I know i cant. I always believed that every day should be treasured and that everybody deserves a chance, everybody is equal, i didnt use the word hate, i now use it with every fiber of my being, and i hate that i do. On september 21st, i gave birth to reagan, and it wasnt anything like i had planned, because it was so close to this tragedy. It was totally different, and i feel in certain aspects quite ruined. I read an account that a man gave about losing his son to a mountain climbing accident. He said that one of the biggest changes for him was that he no longer actively looks for happiness, but if it comes to him, unsolicited, he embraces it. And i think that is what happened to us. Father in heaven, we are hurting it was in october, the city was having a service and it was a very upsetting day. But as we were leaving, we saw these Therapy Dogs now its working. We just sat in the middle of The Street and started to pick them. As she was putting my dog, she started to cry, she looked at me and she told me that she had lost her son in the world Trade Center. Matthew. We always likened him to a Golden retriever puppy. He kind of had the same loyalty, the same table manners. But he just loved dogs. My heart just went out to her, i said that i would like to name my new dog after her son matthew. It was our moment of joy, unsolicited. Its a perfect tribute to him. Were very grateful. Thats it. And the last 90 days the nation has been consumed by grief, especially those directly affected by the attacks. The beginning of october, i Got a job with fema. It was a one stop shop, relief center, people could come and they could get their Food Stamps and unemployment childcare, education, you name it. One afternoon at christmas time, the Waiting Room was stuffed, and everyone was so worried about money and holidays coming up and the poignant Sense Of loss, and one person asked talking to said im a singer and ive lost all these gigs, i dont have any money. And i said, would you mind singing for us. She said sure, where do you want me to sing. And she stood up and saying new York State of mind. And ive never felt a silenced so hunched and focused, and together. It was an amazing moment, of resiliency and the Sense Of, you know, somehow were Gonna get to a different place.

Its very surreal to be back here and to be talking about everything that has happened and change since then, and then specifically the experience of recording that video in this booth. Today is September 10th 2002. It was 364 days after September 11th that wind and recorded that video, and i know that in those 364 days, i didnt deal with my feelings about lindsey or even a day of September 11th itself. Ive avoided talking to my friends, my family, talking to coworkers about everything that happened just because im not ready. I mean, its the worst thing ive ever seen. Its the worst thing i hope to see. For years it was too hard to even see a picture of that image that was everywhere. Just the idea of Going back and trying to process all of that, honestly, it felt impossible. But then, i went to the memorial the way that the water moves, all of those names around it, its just a transformative experience. I was the so much more at peace with sharing my feelings with my kids, and they hear story about her all the time. I dont know, i just wonder if it will help them one day when they lose somebody they love, theyll be able to remember that i had a friend who i loved and i lost. And its okay to be sad. Its okay to grieve. You can also live your life and you can love your life and you can be happy to. Mary adams, and todays April 30th 2021. It wont be easy for me to mourn my brother. I was in Good at it. And so i remember walking back into work, probably two weeks later, im a Social Worker by trade for girls that couldnt live at home, gradually throughout the day one by one, they would come in and check in and say hello and maybe give me a hug, not at me. For these girls, a Brother Being randomly killed on a beautiful Tuesday Wasnt unusual, many of them have lost brothers, siblings, cousins, parents, they understood, they knew it wasnt fixed or heal into weeks time. They knew i was. And in turn, they showed me a path. They did get up and Go to school. We had some rough times, they had a lot of joy, and so i learned that youre never Going to get just an of joy after, you have to accept the hard and find a way to integrate it and live with it and stale move forward. He still in my heart. I buy ground and i rub my heart, now, i dont hate watching that video bringing me back so close to 2000, 2001. It feels almost Good, it feels as if im just closer to charlie. Almost as if he could be right there. Perfect, thank you. It was heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking. Thinking about the people that Died, it just stayed with me particularly the people jumping from the building. My name is donald bird, im a choreographer living here in new york city. I made it dance dollars directly related to how i felt. And not just that it haunted me, but also this idea of those people being at peace. Once i was able to get that out, the kind of work that i did changed, i started to think about my artistic purpose differently. I started making work that address issues of social justice, race it no longer could be for me, it needed to be of service to the community. Thats what i wanted to do. And that was a direct result i think of what happened on 9 11, which was in eyeopener about how i wanted to live. And, i think, now i live in the space that is not about despair, its about hope. A corner to build a legacy. A vision for tomorrow. A fresh start. A blank canvas. A second act. A renewed Company Culture. A temple for ideas. And a place to make your mark. Loopnet.

After the 9 11 attacks and i went home, everything really settled in, i was in shock. I mean, the first two years were rough for me, i just suffered survivors killed, at the beginning really bad. I saw a lot of people Die and i saw a lot of people jump and i saw a lot. For a long time i struggled with my purpose. I was mentally messed up in the head. Why did God leave me. A few weeks aGo some new yorkers put together a photography exhibit. They asked people to send in a picture they had taken on September 11th. There is an Art Gallery. I remember standing outside the Art Gallery with my friend dominic, my coworker, and started to drink a hot chocolate, were looking at the tv screen, showing the photos that were inside. Every wall in the store, even the ceilings are lined with pictures. Hundreds and hundreds of pictures. Many of them are too powerful to explain. Even for the people who were there. And i said dominic, thats us. When i found that picture, it actually changed my life. It just gave me a lot of closure, thats the word im looking for, it gave me closure. I was able to move on with my life, because it just made me feel better. Hes part of my history. He caught me at the worst moment of my life, but that worse moment of my life brought me to the best moments of my life. Ready daddy . Losing a spouse it was a horrible place to be. I mean, when i open that Booth Door it was almost like looking out into darkness and thinking what was coming next . I didnt know, i did know how things were Gonna shake out. We move to shepherds town, west virginia. I wanted to get the kids out of d. C. Because i was afraid that there could be another attack. I lived in constant fear of that. So weve been there a month, i was trying to be a fulltime dad. I thought the kids needed that. But obviously, it was not always easy. Then, one day i was cleaning out the family car, i didnt do that very often because i found a notepad under one of the seats, and it was shelleys notepad, he had a bunch of Grocery List and stuff like that. It also had some words that she wrote down. They were, we have only a finite number of days on this earth, make some extraordinary and fill them with passion. And i have taken that as my guidance from her. How long does it take, people . To approach life with purpose. To make a positive difference. I remember The School had this excellent kindergarten teacher, it just so happened that her name was mrs. Ahmed, she was a muslim woman, there was nothing wrong with the other one, but i told the principal i would really like the kids to Go to miss our mans class, because all their life they are Going to hear that muslims killed their mother, and thats just not true. It was in Human Scum who killed their mother. They hijacked a religion to do it. So, the principal agreed and the kids both went through miss ahmeds kindergarten. And now we have one graduating from harvard, and another one Going to law school. So bravo miss ahmed and bravo shelley. I mean, she is a remarkable woman, and everything that has happened since 9 11 has warned her touch one where another. My name is aj divine, im in the navy reserves.

It was early 2012 i finally shipped out. I absolutely wear with the preconceived notion that i was Going to be heated. I was Going to be maybe under a great deal of danger all the time, because they dont like americans. And they dont like christians. U. S. Afghan relations are at a low point and already difficult relationship. One that relies on cooperation. So my, Whole Philosophy was okay, im just Going to do the absolute minimum. Keep myself out of Harms Way and just work. But that meant having to travel outside of the base. Outside of protection on our own. Just with our weapons, jackets, helmets and gear. In travel to miles through a Couple City streets to get to the Ministry Of Defense were the afghan air force base. So, i come in the morning with extraordinary anxiety. All right, lets get to work. Lets start working on these numbers and maintenance numbers. And how were Going to get these aircraft up and flying. And they be like, slow down, slow down, take it easy. How is your family doing . How is your your kids . Are they healthy . Im like yeah, yeah, theyre healthy. Lets get to work. Slow down, slow down. And we would not get any work done until we talked about Each Others families. And i started learning that. I thought that was cool. Thats not something i mean, we all of our families. That they make a certain emphasis on it. Regardless of whether we should have been and afghanistan, we shouldnt have been in afghanistan, we had a personal connection with Each Other. And i started realizing our common humanness. Ou common humanness but hey, were not so different from Each Other. I mean, i became so immersed in it that i change my complete perspective. I was like, im not leaving here without having done some positive or something Good. Because i felt like im working for my brothers. I could tell they felt the same way about me. When i sit back and i reflect on the reality that 20 years aGo someone actually tried to murder me i could be very bitter about that. I had burns to my face. Seconddegree burns to my face. I had second and third degree burns to my hands and to the backs of my arms. But just as christ forgive me, i also have to forgive the people who carried out the act. I have granddaughters and i had to make sure that i didnt let that bitter grew in meat. I dont want them growing up with Prejudice And Bitterness and hatred. I dont want them seeing well, this group of people try to killed my grandmother. So, i dont like them. That is not showing unconditional love. Okay, so if you just want to point to it. I dont know if this will be [laughs] if you will use this or not. But God has an awesome Sense Of humor. Because our oldest Son Wife is from egypt, and she was raised muslim. [laughs] so, how would it be, how would i be if i held that in my heart. And here my son brings home this woman who he says he loves and wants to marry. And im like, no, you cant marry her. Shes one of them. No, im Going to hug her, love her, and embrace her. And theyre about to give us our first grandson. Its awesome. Were recording, right . All we can do now is try to correct the wrong thinking of people, so that future things like this do not happen. Because of 9 11, american public was so concerned and fearful about islam, muslims, alqaeda the enemy from within. That and i i as an architectural designer had to step up. I wanted to be part of the renewal of healing america. Healing my faith. [noise] so, about ten years aGo, we propose a community center. It was called the islamic cultural center in Lower Manhattan. A beautiful place that would be for all. Go somewhere else but then, people began to attack us. I think its just a spirit in our face. I think theyre laughing at us. And it really hurt me when they said, not you, not now, and not here. I started receiving he letters after hes letters. But i also started receiving love letters. And these letters always remind me to this day, that there indeed are two americas. Wo americas. [noise] im feeling sad about america right now. Im feeling sad because this was a nation that was a beacon of hope for many people. And over the years, post 9 11, [noise] weve come apart. Lets talk about a tale of two cities. And america, September 12th 2001, and america whatever it is one day it is 2021. Everybody was together. Right . Coeds, College Kids bringing us Peanut Butter and jelly in Wax Paper on site. And america was probably as unified as it could ever be. There was no bipartisan divide. He just said, im in american. I have to do this. Every buddy was one. The people that were down there and that i shared this with, we still keep In Touch. I met people down there that i will be friends with for the rest of my life. Diane and kim and sow, these people, they have a part of me now. Kind of sums it up. Even after 20 years. It has an emotional part to it. Here we are. 20 years later. Yeah. 20 years later. Wow.

And we felt so fortunate that we had you, because we were able to just focus on you. And even though there was so much a death around us at that time, you just brought so much hope to everybody. But then your grandfather was quickly diagnosed with cancers relating to 9 11 talk since. So, you were dealing with that throughout your life. I think people underestimate the power behind tragedy. Its something that is a constant reminder that oh, life is really a beautiful and special thing. And family is so important. Its everything. That is, this is from me to you. I remember i took chandler when she was about four, i took her to the Dress Shop in downtown. And the kids really loved the owner of the Dress Shop, miss heather. So, the next day when i picked the kids up from school, i asked if they could come see miss feather. They said yeah, sure. This heather was very pregnant. [laughs] i didnt mind. So, it took about six months before i Got the nerve to ask her out on the date. And as they see, the rest is history. Daddy, luckily i Got heather. I remarried in 2007. Isnt that nice . It wasnt easy to move on like that. But it taught me a lesson that the heart can expand. And love is a precious thing. We shouldnt ignore it. Being a 9 11 survivor is something that you never forget. You have to be able to persevere. And i try my best every single day to overcome my fears. I try every single day. I think i do okay. There are days that i think too much and then theres days that ok, im Good, lets do this. Is there somebody here to see me . There is. How are you . Hey. How you doing, buddy . I guess the struggle to survive is a really powerful part of being a human being. We have this incredible resiliency. We can survive all kinds of things. Wars, famines, all kind of hardships that Human Beings Go through. It doesnt matter. You can just find a spot anywhere. And then once we are surviving, the struggle to be happy. Thats something else. Just learning to be okay with not being okay. Learning to embrace that discomfort and being okay with discomfort. Until it passes. I think thats about it. Thank you. Thats Good. Should i just exit . That will do it. Im craig melvin. And im natalie morales. And this is dateline. Its been extremely hard. The hardest part was the crime Scene Picture of our mom.
