Trapped inside a building is bad enough but those men are trapped in a lift no more than just a tiny cube no view of the out side so i feel safer with lifts that have windows
Nearly 10 years on and this still feels as if it happened very recently. Did the people in 1939 feel that way about the Crash of '29? Or did the people in 1951 feel the same way about Pearl Harbor? I no longer know anyone who was alive and old enough to experience those earlier events the way I did 9/11. To my daughter, who is 16, 9/11 was a looooooong time ago, all the way back to 1st grade, as if it was the Dark Ages.
wow, its weird how the towers fell like that, cuz the building was made of steel, so explosives had to cause the fall.... so im guessing the terroist put the explosives in the buildings hours, weeks, or months before the airplanes even hit.... its just so crazy, i bet the ppl in the buildings knew more of what was really going on then we did seeing it on tv or from outside when it happened
@orrkhari ooo,, well i heard that some other buildings during 9/11 collapsed randomly... im guessing the terroist had to press some button or something to make those bombs go off like that..... all those buildings fell from explosives, theres no way in the world an entire building can fall just from the top being burned up.. only the top should have fell, but instead... bombs were being let off futher down the building, so thats how the building fell from its top DUH
Who remembers the line from the Constitution that this government is created for the people by the people?
Why, then, would a government of OUR representatives want to kill US, who voted them into office in the first place? Why would they risk destroying the economy of not only the U.S. but the entire free world? Why would they risk the retaliation of foreign countries who may have had diplomats in the building? How could they have covered up planting explosives? Answer me that.
5:06 i heard/read somewhere that someone was going to rapel down from as heli cut the antenna then land the heli on the roof, and evacuate.But because it was to smoky they didn`t try.
Fire can only reach temperatures of 1800 farenhieght , and steel melts at 2500 degrees farenhieght , so how did the clean up crew find melted steel? and if the plane only hit a corner of the building , only the floors above that should fall and do so at and angle , so how did the building collapse straight down? explosives.
I always wanted to vist the WTC. I was able to go only a few weeks before this happened. I got to see Windows on The World restaurant and shop in the downstairs mall. I remember being so excited to be in that building. When this happened, I pictured the faces of everyone I had seen that day I was there. I wondered how many workers I spoke to had perished. It stays with me to this day.
Conspiracy theorists are ignorant. Anyone who says, "The government orchestrated this", is completely blind to the fact that the government is made up of people like you and me. You can't really believe an organization of patriots who would give their lives for us would do this to their own people? If you do, you are sick because you are capable to create these horrible thoughts. You're no better than a terrorist, because you think like one.

@SuperWt69 There are too many facts that speak to this being an inside job. Those who ignore facts are the ignorant ones. A fire would not burn the steel of these buildings. Where is the video of a plane flying into The Pentagon, the most secure building in the country? It doesn't exist because it didn't happen. Continue to live in your naivity if it makes you feel better, but it won't change the facts of what really happened on 9/11.
For those people who care about truth, they should read articles written by professional investigative reporters, researchers, CIA agents, professors, etc who know more about the hidden agendas of governments, 9/11, the CIA, corporations, etc. Visit the site: WANTtoKNOW.info. Otherwise remain in your ignorance. The government's claim that terrorists were alone responsible for 9/11 is itself a government conspiracy story. The Comission and NIST reports are fraudulent and based on lies.
Some people still believe in the government's fraudulent report! The towers fell because of demolition charges. You should look up this video by a fireman who was there, and claims that 9/11 was an inside job, for many reasons that he gave: "FireFighter Erik Lawyer Slams NIST And The 9/11 "Investigation" Fires do not burn steel. When the towers fell, concrete was pulverized into fine particles. No fire or collpase are responsible for pulverized concrete; only explosives.
@5150Zombieslayer Please explain the presence of molten steel. Please explain the presence of nanothermite. Please explain how buildings can fall at near freefall speed in the path of resistence. Please explain why bin Ladenis not on the FBI list for 9/11 and yet we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. In short, do some real research instead of wasting my time with puerile comments.
Rescue operation? What a waste of human life. Other than Jay Jonas, they were few if any rescue workers that helped to get people out - the employees in the towers that survived, got out on their own. What a botched rescue operation. Very sad that so many of the rescue workers died needlessly.
R.I.P for the people that died by the plane's impact and when the North Tower and South Tower collapsed!!!!!!!! God Bless America for the people that died on Tuesday September 11th,2001!!! =(=(
This American version of this show is inferior to the original English one narrated by Terence Stamp. For example - the statement that "only a rescue operation was possible" is false and was not in the original narration. The reason so many FDNY personnel died was precisely because of the futile attempt to gain access to the fire floors with the goal of fighting it - hopeless to be sure, but that was not immediately apparent to the upper ranks.
that is not true if you mean they went to the upper levels 2 put out the fire. their goal was rescue has many people has possible, the fireman deep down knew like j jones said they knew that most were not going to survive the day. they knew deep down they were not going to get that far up add the fact to put out that type of fire was almost impossible, their goal was to save the people below the damage area in the north tower.
No steel-framed skyscraper has ever completely collapsed either before or after 9/11, except by controlled demolition. On 9/11, three skyscrapers completely collapsed, apparently due to fire.
The World Trade Center Twin Towers were designed to withstand multiple airliner impacts, and intense fires. In 1975, WTC1 suffered a 6-floor, 3 hour fire and suffered only minor damage.
World Trade Center Building 7 was not even hit by a plane; it apparently collapsed entirely due to fire.
@Cr8veLcnse Fire powered by jet fuel at least 250 degrees celsius. It didn't burn the steel. The weight of the metal from the impact of the supporting frames. That fell and the weight of that brought down the next floor, then the rollover weight collapsed the next floor and so on.
WTC 7 collapsed from fire and the fact that two skyscrapers fell onto it,
@sharondoyle37 That doesn't make sense, the only way the towers were to fall would be with the help of explosives., steel frames were seen in the rubble completely cut into, this just wouldn't have happened without the use of explosives. Facts don't add up, there is something missing.
Imagine what is was like for the people who did survive especially sam when the plane flew into his office and blew up and he survived man I wouldn't have slept after that for a long time and the most saddest part about the whole thing is that it was a beatiful day outside and all those people lost their lives thats terrible
good question. hopefully after this tragedy, most buildings in the US have better floor plans/ etc if something like this ever happens again. but seeing as to how i can get onto a train without getting my bags checked, fat chance. idiots.
I work as a bike messenger in NYC and most buildings still locked their doors to the stairs it's a shame after 9/11 you think they will do something about it and not F^(k!ng locked the doors ( they do it so people don't go to the stairs to smoke )
mainstream media is propaganda at its finest. orwell would be proud. five people control what americans read in the papers and watch on their TVs. if they wanted smart, informed americans, it would not be a difficult task. they wanted obedient workers who would bow to the state and never ask questions. most of you have readily complied with their hopes !!
Thank goodness those three heard the port authority say there was a large explosion in the building otherwise they might not have tried so aggressively to get out of the elevator on their own. Happenstance seemed to be the case of who survived and who didn't. What is the defense for that?
I always wanted to visit the Twin Towers but, nooo I can't because of some terrorists who wanted revenge, and now are in hell getting their revenge. And those firemen are heroes!
@RedDynasty123 Revenge against who? All we did was kill more innocent people in other countries. Which makes half the world hate us. We are in deeper shit than we ever was.
