  • I watch these so much just hearing the music at the beginning makes me cry.

  • I was in my moms car watching this on my phone while she was running an errand. When she got back in the car I was crying...

  • @Lovely2291 ummm i meant it should have been posted on september 9.and i think that the terrorist might have attacked the twin towers on september 9 as the planned it u just do not understand.im not even trying to in sult ppl here but u insulted me insted

  • So far the 911 stories, this one just makes me speechless. How do u react to knowing someone is going to die, or not going to come out alive? IDK whats worse, knowing someone is going to die or living out the part of knowing that person is dying.

  • @xxalmond1joyxx I'm sorry I couldn't find the words to replace "waiting", when u know someone is dying? A little help pls, thanks

  • Tis shuld be on sept 9 so ppl will remember 9/11 when alot of 911 calls were made PS do u think the terrorist attack on sept 9 on purpose?

  • @MrSingaporeproductio what the hell? None of this comment made any sense, it's grammar is horrendous and the lack of emotion is shameful. Please stop breathing my air.

  • Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww this is so sweet!

  • I just woke up and now the bed is filled with tissues.

  • How do they find this touching stories?

  • @RidiculouslyLuis because you ass those kids are fatherless, if your gonna show disrespect go over to afghanistan

  • Not gonna lie, I bawled my eyes out at this video and also at "She Was The One." Great videos and keep up the amazing work!

  • storycorps is the only one who makes youtubevideos that makes me cry.....damn

  • when she started to become emotional....ouch really. hurted me like hell. wish i could send her all the comfort on earth :c

  • dammit i cried ... :(

  • This one is especially painful because it involves kids. I have a 5 year old daughter that lives in another state so I can imagine trying to call her if I were going to die as well.

  • hey, let's show respect for the people who disliked these videos. they might have been having a bad day.

  • @missmapletrees no those who diliked this video have no soul and have no compassion to those who died on that terrible day

  • Who in the world could seriously dislike this? Come on!

  • everyone dies, but like one, not very good, man once said - when dies thousands of people, it's just a statistics, and when dies just one man, it's a tragedy...

  • omg i cant stop crying fuck

  • 1968 the year of the Mexico city olympics

  • This is one of the most touching stories. I just can't imagine going thorough that situation. :(

  • Emotions. Sadness, confusion. RAGE!

  • Hey who is cutting those onions :(...

  • these videos crack open your heart and show you what emotions you truly have...

  • what kind of monster dislikes these videos?

  • @TheSpurs825 The kind that hates crying. T^T

  • @TheSpurs825 i can think of a few.

  • @TheSpurs825 they be trolls

  • @TheSpurs825 I think they are disliking the situation he was in not the video

  • @TheSpurs825 Don't get angry, these stories evoke emotions deep inside us and to some people it makes them uncomfortable!

  • @TheSpurs825 I know right. what level of heartlessness does it take?

  • May he find eternal rest, and may your family find peace in his memories.

  • This is touching, really touching :(

  • This is a beautiful story. It really had me emotional.

  • WHAT IS THE SONG AT THE END OF THE VIDEO?!?!?!

  • @NoFutureWolves "Milo" by Fredrik, it's mentioned in the credits :)

  • I cried watching this.....

  • Wonderful story :'[

  • Powerful! Thank you.

  • :( so sad

  • Someone just threw a fistful of sand into my eyes, that was really rude of them let me tell you

  • this story's so sad. I've cried

  • i just found this channel today. so far I've been crying for about 15 minutes now. I havent cried since I was ten. its a wierd feeling, empathy.

  • :(

  • If you loved him so much then why did you get a divorce!!??

  • @dramaqueen12330 I think you are still a bit young if you do not understand. As much as you love people like your friends or family, you just can't cope with seeing them 24/7. Little habits can cause big arguements and eventually a marriage is more than love; it is about working together. It is common people forget this, hence the huge amounts of divorces.

  • he is watching over you monique

  • This is heart touching... ;)

  • this made me cry too..it is a sad story:(

  • Oh my gosh, heart breaking. :'(.

  • I almost cried while watching this clip and I'm not even American, I'm not related to 9 /11 in any way, but honestly, how could you turn a blind eye to it.. ?

  • I never cried like this before and I have no relations to 9/11 .. People this video is not to show us that revenge is the answer to our hurt this is about appreciating love and the people we take for granted everyday walking this earth no day is guaranteed so spread love don't instill hate ... Peace Love and Happiness my people! Rest in peace to all those souls lost in 9/11 and for those joining the army for "revenge" on these łost souls pay close attention to what i just said and know that th

  • All who died in the attack. Be it god or allah or evolution. We will remember you. Remember Osama Bin Laden is not a Muslim for he has killed his own people of arab and/or muslim.

    For the victims we will remember you and god bless  the victims of the attack

  • @bigo0723 true

  • I'm literally sitting here, watching the video and crying my eyes out at how sad it made me. It's just so real when you hear about it. I was really little when the twin towers collapsed and I lived on the opposite side of the country. It didn't affect me.... Not until now, really. It never really seemed real. 117 people don't give a damn. This is heartbreaking and all those in 9/11 should go to hell for killing all those people!!!

  • my name is joey mccranie and i recently enlisted in the army in the 103 stealth division and the reason i joind was because of september 11 i want to avenge the people that were killed that day by those bastard terrorists

  • this video is the reason i am joining the marines. I will personally kill everyone involved with 9/11

    God bless all who died on that day

  • beautifully sad... their are millions of people today who can share n relate to this story. Thumbs UP!

  • wow this gave me goosebumps like i wasnt expecting this one to hit me like that

  • I started to cry....how on Earth can anyone dislike this? You people have no hearts what so ever.

  • I love New York, and it's families like this that make it a great place, regardless of terrorist attacks or violence. This video is a beautiful tribute.

  • What is the waterfall doing on my face?

  • good story :)

  • Yeah.

  • I almost cried this is soooooooo sad

  • <3

  • I am a 180 pound body builder, ya I'm one of those tough guys. I cryed to this. If this does not touch your heart like it touched mine you need to step back from your computer screen and ask yourself why

  • i seed enough of your videos today,,,i can't keep going man...they are to sad for my heart :/

  • Keep going Storycorps until you can't tell no more stories, then just tell more stories anyway.

  • This is so... Beautiful and horrible at the same time.. T^T

  • Well damn.......that was sad.

  • Im getting dehydrated by all the crying..

  • I cried So much :'(

  • i cried

    :'(

  • *crying hard*

  • this story tells me how messed up an unfair life is. one second someone we love is with us and the next their gone. one second we here the next we could b gone. this story gives me a message. love everyone in your life to the fullest, enjoy everyone to the fullest enjoy your life to the fullest, b happy 4 wat u got no matter how bad it is. for u never know wen it could b gone. im glad i heard this story bcuz it taught me that less. God bless Michael Trinidad and his family

  • How come I can watch depressing movies all the time without shedding a single tear, but then come here to watch 3-4 minute clips and start bawling like a baby?

  • Tear

  • this made me cry big fat tears like a baby :"((

  • People keep on saying how this and other videos made them cry... Yeah, they're quite sad and such but why doesn't it hit me with the same force it hits others? Why don't I feel any urge to cry or anything - just sadness but not much more than that..? Does that make me a heartless person?

  • @imarchello no not really...sometimes, things need to ...take a certain effect on you. maybe you need to experience something REAL and physical right before your eyes. when people used to tell me that someone passed away...i didn't really know how to react. i'd be like "shit" in my head but that was it or sometimes it seemed ridiculous and i felt like laughin. until my best friend died. when i got the phone call..i didnt believe it. when once i got to her body, it hit me. so ya..it's like that?

  • Taking for granted what we have until we lose them. Then, and only then, will we realise how much we're missing them!

  • That's so sad :'(

  • Moving.... great story. Thank you for being brave and telling it.

  • oh god! T-T this is so sad! this story hits me! i feel for her and i hope she's doing ok and her family. see, this is why i hate people that make fun of this, this right here! people died, innocent lifes were lost and it ticks me off that people laugh at this.

  • DAMN IT!! I'm done, screw you YouTube, I should not be crying this much!

  • It doesnt matter how many times i watch this...i still cry every time. My heart goes out to this woman, & to her family, and even though its ten years later, i still hurt when i think about 9/11, & the loved one i lost that day...I know how she feels

  • oh my gosh. that is heart breaking! It made e cry

  • Every human being experiences life. We feel, we see, we touch, we smell, we think, we are. Our loves, our lives, our experiences are what we all are, beneath our skin. Every love, hatred, bias, belief, desire, all lies beneath.

    The greatest loss to this world is the loss of these things. When a person dies, a story dies; a perspective dies.

    Preserving a person's story is a blessed act; you preserve a small piece of them, of their wisdom, and inure it against time's thieving touch. Thank you.

  • The most touching thing I have seen in a long time. I cried a great deal watching this. From Switzerland.

  • I really hope she put her daughter on the phone....

  • who are the terrorists....tell me DONKEY..

    The real TERRORISTS are THE ZIONISTS and JORGE DONKEY BUSH...

    STupid idiots

  • This made me cry... :'(

  • keep on going, storycorps, until every story is told.

  • this is so sad :'(

    wow i legit cried..

  • i started balling when i listened to this i dont know anyone personally that was killed but the fact that so many lives were lost just because our countries cant fucking get along pisses me off and this just made me cry like crazy im scared to watch it again because i dont want to cry that much anymore

  • *crying*

  • yo this is like the second person who died and worked for Cantor Fitzgerald-mad weird (i DON'T THINK THERES A CONNECTION IM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. IM JUST MAKING AN OBSERVATION)

  • @97jsn Wonderfull observation. Entire offices were wiped out, fool. Many lives were lost.

  • @TheCouragousGirl no shit dude- it was a fucking huge ass building- i jst thought tht maybe this person found out or knew those other people and i thought it was really nice of them

  • Family sad story =(

  • Every time that I watch this video I'm in tears. Every. Single. Time.

  • I don't understand how someone can dislike these.

  • I have yet to watch one of these where I am not moved to tears. Not just the 9/11 ones they are all very beautiful.

  • Excellent work, Story Corps! This is a wonderful, touching tribute to all lost in & because of 9/11. Yes, we will move on, living & loving, 1 day at a time. We will never forget. 

  • I cried during the watching of these 9/11 videos. I was in New York on that day, and I know the stress of not knowing whether or not your family was safe that morning. I have put it out of my mind these last few years. Thank you, StoryCorps, for giving back to me the memory of all those who passed on that day. 9/11 inspired me to serve my country when I reached the age. Hurricane Katrina led me to join the Coast Guard. Love and respect to all those who lost someone that day.

  • so did she put her daughter on the phone or no?

  • @lizzpetri no

  • DAMMIT MOM why are you cutting so many onions in my room? I can't stop crying ;_;

  • My heart goes out to the families of loved ones lost on the tragic events of 9/11... im usually good at keeping in my emotions but these videos really touch me to the point where i get stuffy nosed and tears literally stream down my face... wonderful videos

  • Comment removed

  • This reminds me of the time i was on a deployment in afghanistan, i had got vaughy in a flank attack from nearby rebels, even though it was 15 mins of hell fire shooting at me all was in my mind was my ex-fiance and my family, im blessed god gave me a chance to be here still today but i am terrible sorru for what you suffered , im glad i joined the service knowing i fought for justice for people like you. God bless

  • First time I cry since my father died 8 years ago, he must've been a great man to make that phone call and think about loved ones in a situation like that.

  • I'm sorry for your lost. Love Al-Qaeda headquarters.

  • Really feel sorry for her lost. Love from Saudi Arabia

  • Really feel sorry for her. Peace from s

  • God bless

  • @LucyoftheSky and what you have done is the most racist anti-democrazy, anti-semetic, anti-whiteculture,anti-jewish,­anti-christian statement, the fact that you quoted from a movie only shows the irony in what everyone is already thinking about you being a idiot who support islamisation and a islamocriticismphobe

  • @LucyoftheSky what you have stated was the most insane racist and anti-semetic support ever,the most anti-democratic and anti-white statement ever.You're quoting of a movie will ironicly only make people see for what everyone here already thinks about you.A racist anti white anti jewish anti christian person who support pedophilia(aisha 9 years old by mohammed)the 290 million dead of islams wars, and no condemnation of it. the sharia law in UK alone, and the continuation of islamocriticismphobia

  • This series (9/11) is amazing!!

  • Right in story corps

  • Well done....so sad

  • :'(

  • This is so sad :-_(

  • That's sad :-_(

  • Wat how could 111 ppl not like this! :*(

  • I'M NOT CRYING!!.....I'M JUST CUTTING ONIONS....A LOT OF ONIONS!!!

  • this is the best series ever

  • Omg, so touching! It made me cry a little...

  • Beautiful my heart goes out not only to this family but to every single person who was affected by this day in history we will never forget. May god bless the souls of those people.

  • fuck you who disliked this

  • Everyone of these videos get me to tear up. Such powerful story telling.

  • Why do most of these videos make me cry?

  • @taliasaurusrexrawr It's called empathy.

  • This is so touching, make my tear come out. I'm sorry for your loss. I believe you will have a beautiful living hood better. Your story are sober and beautiful in the same time. Respectful

  • Wow very touching and moving... At Least the mom got to hear him one last time to tell them he loved them all... 9/11 you are not forgotten god bless all the families of the victims out there. The victims and Heroes are in a better place with no more pain

  • @Creativity2491 ye but think about all those people that never got to settle their arguments or say goodbye to their loved ones :(

  • @xdwere1 I agree that why I say at least this family did because I know many didn't ... I'm sure its pretty heartbreaking

  • I hate story that make me cry

  • @XzINVICTUSzX @741Webster There is actually a hug different between what we learn as muslims from the Quraan and what terrorist do . please I suggest u to read the quraan and his meaning . Then you will see that different . Never the quraan told us to do something like that. They understand the religion of islam upside down.

    In fact some of them Translated the quraan as their mentality. :)

  • @TheSuperrinad And Hitler did the same with the Bible before, it's so wrong! God is all about love not hatred :)

  • @djelpy Exactly, and the Spanish Inquisition to spread the Bible. People will do heinous things and try to justify them with religion. The religion honestly does not condone any actions done by those terrorist. What they have is a twisted perception of it.

  • aww this made me cry :'(

  • 110 people don't have a heart (2)

  • Awwwww ( crying face)

  • Thumbs up + Subscribe.

    Came Here from Myne Whitman Writes Blog

  • Wow those terrorists they are haters they are mean and for what they did and that day it was a tragic day i mean I was only like a cupel years old but I remember that day just sitting at home watching tv and hearing what happened to the world trade center wow they are haters!!!!!! :\ :( 

  • 110 people don't have a heart.

  • Really really beautiful! Respect! :(

  • What the terrorist has done was never mention on Koran. What they did was wrong.. My teachers said that if we protect Islam is war or something ( just to protect the religion) god will place that person in heaven .. But what the terrorist did was killing people and they will ended up in hell..

  • @jia191194

    Actually US goverment did it. News in your country are lying every time. My country was bombed by US for no reason, even though we had internal matter. We tried to remove extremist Islamic group. But in this case US was helping them - Bosnia. And still they are - Kosovo. As much they are financing our politicians for complete destruction of my country. We are a small country so we know who is with who. But, on the CNN and the rest news corp, then and today lies are still spreaded.

  • @jia191194 Please don't judge radicals on behalf of an entire group. There are plenty of hate mongering Christians, but I don't blame them for their racism, sexism, or bigotry. There are always going to be radicals that take things too far, don't judge the majority on the minority.

  • God that is so sad... :(

  • @MrO420o whoa buddy, you need to stop putting words in my mouth. I said it didn't matter how it happened that it did and we should remember the people that lost their lives on 9/11. not that we should go to war about it. I hate war and wish we'd stop, I never said we should kill more people or kill each other. I'm all for world peace. So take your self-righteous comments and shove 'em buddy. Next time you might want to read people's comment more carefully before jumping the gun, jack ass.

  • So sorry for your lost, no one has the right to do such harm. May you have peace in knowing you were loved and got that last goodbye from your children's father & your friend.

  • 300 Muslims died in 9/11... And 2 of the terrorists weren't even Muslims, but Christians.

  • Wake up! Stop believing the lies of their leaders and learn from Pearl Harbor.

  • I don't hate Muslimjs, some of my best friends were Muslims and they all hated terrorists. RIP.

  • If you disliked cause you dont like story corps as a whole, your still an asshole. Have some respect.
