thats the point!!! look at the date it was posted the day before... oh wait i think its 9/11... maybe you dont remember what happened that day and if that is the case then maybe you should look it up. tragedy struck our nation that day. look it up read everything and watch every thing and then "REMEMBER"
the medium of this video completely undermines its content. sorry, but a youtube video is not the way to show a respectful silence. i'm already distracted by everything else on the page, and the fact that you slowed down the video made it even more removed from what the moment of silence is meant for.
it honestly probably wasn't impromptu, unless you happened to have a camera pointed at your face that captured a genuine moment of you reading the victims' names.
i don't know if you had the idea to film yourself doing this, or just stumbled on the names and decided to film it, but either way it's totally not real.
I turned the camera on after I found the names. It's built into my imac. I would suggest watching some of my other videos before attempting to discern what is "real." I actually had an internal debate about posting this, or not. I did so, only because of what it meant to me, and the connection I have with some of my subscribers. I never thought something this personal would be featured.
Keep the spirit.keepup your great work.i think this vid doesn't need music,effects or/and words when it has a meaning of its own,some people might get uncofortable(maybe as a defense mechanism)or think is a waste of time,but why not share a moment of silence for those who were silenced for eternity.why not on you tube.i was an AA employee when it happened and yes IT GETS VERY REAL when you read the names.i'm sorry for those who think they weren't affected if they were not in NY.stil on denial.
We are all sad about 9/11. It is probably taboo to be critical of the video because of how politically charged and emotional the topic is but in my opinion, this video is actually lame. Sorry - but it is not a good video.
I wonder how much he bothered to listen on that day. Not to offend you, I respect your religion, hell I'm Catholic but it's hard to believe there's a god after somethign such as this happens.
but if it makes you feel any better, you are one of the smartest people on you tube. and i suppose i respect your opinion, i just dont understand why you have to act like someone you know was involved. you and i are from the south, so im assuming you arent involved with any yanks from NY
The point isnt that he is sad cuz he lost someone it's that ppl did lose their families, their friends, their wives, and their lives. I dont care if you dont know anyone that died that day you should still be sad when our country is attacked and it costs so many lives. its not just the losses on that day many soldiers are dying still beacause that day led to the war
oh my god are you serious?? ok what happened on 9/11 was terrible, and alot of people died. BUT. you werent there, so please stop acting like you care just to maintain your seemingly patriotic image. it gets old.
that was beautiful aw dont cry, i was really angry on 9/11 when no one here even realized what day it was, people in the UK are so insensitive i totally felt for them in July when the buses were bombed
Cool Allen!!! I like how you recorded you doing your work (on your profile). Very nice man. Thought I'd drop a comment. Though I will say, this video kinda left me wondering, but yet, I understood. If that makes sense.
Cool. I like this. It's so simple but a pretty bold statement. I just recently found out that there's people who think that 9/11 was an inside job. THAT makes me ill. Thanks for always remembering. God bless.
Wow. it's easy to take the negative comments to heart, its hard however to post your face and broadcast your message so loudly across the internet, knowing that the comments would come. we are all ppl with different views, but, a11en...i share yours. never forget the pain of humanity, never forget the hardship to rebuild, and never forget the courage to move on. bravo.
Too bad you are not single. A real man can shed a tear and show so much talent. This is my first time on youtube and you caught my attetion. Wish you could draw me.
4. then paste this to 4 other video's, if you do this your crush will kiss you on the nearest friday! But if you read this and did not paste this, then you will have very bad luck and ur dad might lose his job.
You monsters that say we deserved this, and you are happy people were killed that day, you should all be ashamed! What if it was your Mother, father, brother, sister, friend? what if they died? would you be glad they died? would you be glad we "Got what we deserved."
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKs
absolutely eloquent. A word need not be spoken. Americans, we forget so quickly on everything.We get back to our techno lives and forget . I watch movies from WW II all the time. What a finer generation of people it was. They made sacrifices. Called it the "war effort".

This video is just a bit too self serving and tasteless for my liking. Why would you want to show your OWN face in such a vid? TAKE YOUR HAT OFF you jerk and show some honest respect. This not the subject to promote yourself with.
Chromium77, you're an idiot. Seriously. NO ONE deserved that. NO ONE! It's so easy to type up a rude, brainless comment like that from the safety and anonymity of the internet. I hope to someday meet you in person. Anything said beyond this would be considered a threat.
ok fuck all the people that are posting stupid comments..im guessing your not even from our county and we wont forget the people that died in 9/11 or the war.. I just hope that someting like that happenes to you and maybe it will change your mind about posting comments like that....
With every year's passing, on 9/11 anniversary, I wish you a few less tears and a little more healing. Never forget, curumina1/Paula, (I watched 'em go down), NYC
Even here in Canada, we feel your pain. The unnecessary deaths of all those poor people and the even greater pain of those left behind. You know I have never known what Remembrance Day means until now. God/dess bless us all in our time of grief and allow the pain to pass while we keep the good memories close to our hearts. Amen
What is sad is that my family was the only ones on our block to put out a flag today! We prayed together for our trooops to come safely. But it seems like people were making a bigger deal of Britney than remembering what happened to us on 9/11. Thanks Allen for taking the time remember.
Lol dude, if you wanna honour the dead, then don't fecken praise the country and thereby its government, that was responsible for why these people had to die.

A11en, I'm a huge fan of yours and this is my first response. 6 years ago today, I stood in a VW service lounge going in to get my car checked. I stood around watching the TV with complete strangers of every race and crede and we were all in tears. I called my mother and cried behind the dealership, unable to comprehend what had happened. Your silent vigil is priceless and is how I will spend the morning every 11th or September.
