9-11 Where were you when the towers fell?

This was the first assignment I did for my beginning video editing class in college. The assingment was to do compose a video of a life altering event.

For years I had always wondered how my mother could remember all the details of where she was when President Kennedy was assassinated. But after 9/11 I've never had a problem understanding that phenomenon. The pictures all all from various news outlets and stories. The music is the theme to Shindler's List. The quality is not the best but the compisition came from the heart.

This is my tribute to remembering 9/11. Where were you when the towers fell?

@pamebabby;

Thanks for the complement. It surprises me that people are still commenting on this video 2 1/2 years after I posted it. Who knows, maybe i'll remake the video one of these days if I can get better source pictures. See if I can do a better job when i'm not rushed for time.

Thanks again.

This has touched my hart.

Thank you. That is the greatest comment I've received on this video yet.

What a complete mockery! This is terrible. Why in the world would anyone compare 9/11 to the Holocaust ... No matter what anyone says, using music from Schindler's List is doing exactly that. What a disgrace!!! Why not use Alan Jackson or Toby Keith, since they so reightously love this country so much to make money off these attacks! Disgrace. What a terrible idea. Why not use the Enya radio montage that filled the airwaves for weeks after. SHAMEFUL.

[Barronmore]

Well, your titled to your opinion ofcourse.

I used "Theme from Schindler's List because of his poinent and haunting melody, not because I was trying to compare the two incidents. Though, why would it be such a mockery or disgrace to use it? Why is it shameful? This music does not PROMOTE or ENDORSE the Holocaust, far from it.

But as I said, it's your opinion and your free to express it. Though it does make me wonder why anyone shares anything heartfelt on the internet anymore...

Very touching but do not forget thaqt right here in Waashington we also took a hit and lost about 300 people

[Barronmore]

Very true.  I just didn't have good source pictures for the pentagon attack and was already having more then enough trouble mastering the video program. If i ever find myself remaking the video i'll be sure to put that in.

Thanks.

@Zilla2251 I'm sorry, but what? A holocaust is destruction by fire. Isn't a piece composed by John Williams used in Schindler's List (a film about the Jewish holocaust) a proper fit for a video about the 9/11 attacks? Oh and you recommend a country song? The fuck is wrong with you?

A very touching tribute with very appropriate music. I was only 6 when it happened and I can only remember seeing the dust pouring through a street on TV. RIP to all those who died a decade ago today.

I wish so much that I knew where I was... i was 4 and i have no memory of 911 at all

[jeskasmith]

I like to read comments about the youtube videos that I like and I find it completely rude that some of you made the comments that you did. I for one, did not feel like the video was related to the holocaust but the entire time I was thinking about how well the music fit. If you don't like it, why haven't you made a video.

Also, if you are doing something you wouldn't tell your grandma about, don't tell everyone on youtube. We don't need to hear it. I thought the movie was beautiful.

I was in my parents apartment back in Germany. It was night time and I was on the floor drawing a picture and my parents and my sister were on the couch. It was on every channel. I was 7 at the time so I didn't completely understand what was going on.

i was in school ... 10th grade ... thought at the time it was just an empire state building type of ordeal ... then they brought us to the auditorium which had a few tv's on ... unreal ... went home early and saw every channel on tv (even mtv) had full-time coverage ... crazy, unreal day

I was in my house in Utah, and my dad was yelling 'no!' at the top of his lungs because the tower went down. I was seven or eight at the time, but we sang the national anthem in the mornings in our school for the rest of the year after it happened. Crying right now.
