 Good morning everybody. How you doing today? Today is 9-11. I want to play a quick tribute video to 9-11. I want you guys to participate today. I think it's really important that we share our feelings and what happened and how it's affected your life. I'd like for you to do that in the chat box there. You can do that throughout this session today. I know we have people on here who are from a couple different groups. Maybe you're on my survival list. Maybe you've purchased survival food from us. Maybe you are somebody who is learning how to make money online from my teachings there. But today is all about 9-11. We won't be selling anything at all. But I do appreciate your participation in this. So please participate and I will go ahead and play that video for you now. Okay guys, I want to share that video with you and kind of wake you up and let you realize how lucky you are today. Some of you may have been around during 9-11, but those of you out there who were not around during 9-11, it was a really weird time. I can tell you that. It was amazing. I will tell you and you haven't lived through it. You haven't seen it and we have so much division now in our country. But back then everybody cared about everybody else. It was a whole different time. Everybody supported everybody else. There were no racial divides or gender divides or any of that stuff. It was everybody was supporting everybody else. So if nothing else, but that came out of 9-11, that was a good thing that people realized that we're all just in this together. I mean, we really are. It's just life and stuff you've got to go through and handling it and being kind to other people matters a lot. I want you to share with me your stories. Some of you may be watching this live. If you're watching this live, you can put it in the chat box. If you would like to actually come on screen, if you're watching this live, I can facilitate that and actually put you on screen and you can actually tell part of your story. If you'd like to just tell it in the chat box, you can certainly do that. But either way, I would like to see a lot of participation guys. If you are somebody who is watching this and it's pre-recorded, all you have to do is put your comments in the comment section below in the video. I will go back through and acknowledge anybody who is kind enough to put their comments on this video. I think it's super important that you do that. I think a lot of people have a lot of different feelings about 9-11. I'm going to go through some facts today about 9-11 that you may not know, some stuff that's still going on, some stuff that happened back then. I think it's pretty interesting stuff that's out there. I hope you enjoy today's session. It's going to be something that may bring up some past memories which could be good or could be bad. But I think it's important that we do it. I want to start off really by letting you know some of the facts about 9-11. For those of you who don't know these facts, and even for those of you who knew some stuff, maybe you forgot. Maybe you didn't realize it. I think one of the most interesting facts about 9-11 is that the employee who gave the order to ground all the airplanes after the 9-11 attacks was Ben Slimley, S-L-I-N-E-Y. Here's the thing about Ben. It was his first day on the job. Imagine that. It's your first day on the job and that's what you get hit with. This is your first day on the job. That had to have been earth-shattering. It was one of the biggest disasters in American history. Those who were old enough can easily look back and think about what happened to them. I know I was in my office at my home in Virginia and I was having a guy doing some wiring for my computers to connect them to another office. I was actually in an entirely different line of business back then. I owned an executive search firm for medical devices and pharmaceuticals and that type of thing. I saw the airplane hit the Twin Towers and I was watching it burn. I didn't really know what it was. I don't think the newscasters knew what it was at that time. Everybody was really kind of shocked. We lived in a place called Chesapeake, Virginia, which was very close to the military bases where all the jets scrambled out of. I remember walking outside and standing up top of my staircase and seeing literally hundreds of fighter jets fly over in the sky. It kind of shook me. I was like, wow, what the heck is going on? Is this it? Is this it? I mean, that really kind of ran through my mind. Is this it? Is this the end of the United States? Is this all out war? What is going on? We didn't know. We didn't know. We didn't know who had attacked us. We didn't know if it was Russia or Iran or Korea. We had no idea. It was just a really scary time. The fact that there were 2,996 people who died on that day. But the interesting thing about the people that died on that day is that 400 of them were emergency personnel such as firefighters and policemen. Guys, respect your firefighters and policemen. I know there's going to be people out there saying that, you know, hey, these cops are all bad and all this. It's not true. They're not all bad. There's a lot of really good people out there doing really mundane and dangerous jobs. We had to go to the grocery store yesterday and one of the traffic lights was out and there was a police officer. He looked like he was 20 years old but sure he was older. Standing in the middle of an extremely busy and dangerous intersection directing traffic because that was his job that day. It was 95 degrees. He was in full uniform. It was hot. It was uncomfortable and he was doing that to keep everybody else safe. And that's a minor thing you may think, oh, directing traffic that's so minor. But that's uncomfortable for somebody. It's not comfortable for him to stand out there and do that. The number of people that were injured in 9-11 were 6,000 people. That's a bunch of people, guys. Aside from the two airplanes that were flown into the traits in their building, a third one hit the Pentagon and a fourth one actually crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The plane included 19 men who were part of a radical group of Al Qaeda or Al Qaeda, however you want to pronounce it, led and founded by Osama bin Laden. The entire plot was actually organized by bin Laden himself. He originally denied having part in the invasion. He's denied it but later released a video in which he admitted to having orchestrated the assault. It's estimated that that attack caused a minimum of 10 billion in infrastructure and property damage. The cost of the cleanup was $750 million. Cleanup for 1.8 million tons of debris took 3.1 million hours. It was finally finished May 30th, 2002. That's a long time, guys, because you figure September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May. That's nine months. It took to do that. That's a long time. The ages of the victims range from 85 years old about 75 to 80 percent of the victims were men. That collapse of the second tower only took 10 seconds. Now, you think about the structure of that building and how big that building was and in 10 seconds that building went down. Guys, I want to hear your comments, your life experiences around 9-11, so please put that in the chat. If you're not live watching this, put it in the comments. If you're in that chat section and you want to come on screen with me and talk about your experiences, feel free to do so. Just put in the chat if that's what you want to do. I can click on you and I can bring you on screen, so I just want to let you know that. After September 11th, the Department of Homeland Security was created to prevent further terrorist attacks. They've been in existence since then. There were 184 people who were killed from planes hitting the Pentagon, including the passengers and hijackers. So we don't want to forget those people in the plane too. I think a lot of times we don't think about that. There were a lot of innocent people in those planes. As of August 2017, only 60% of the World Trade Center victims remains have been positively identified. So 40% never were. That leaves 1,113 of the 2,753 who have no biological confirmation of their death. They're just gone. So imagine the families having to deal with that guys. That's really pretty horrendous. It's estimated that it will cost $500,000 to carry out that 9-11 tragedy. So what a colossal waste of money and time and it just, oh my gosh, to do such a horrendous thing. It's assumed that the destruction was actually a protest against America's support of Israel, which is insane in itself, but you know that's what it was. His participation in the Persian Gulf War and the ongoing military occupation of the Middle East. So you know, when we go around the world and try to help other countries, it doesn't always go well. Surprisingly enough, some of the terrorists that participated in executing the plot had lived in the United States for over a year and they actually took flying lessons within the United States. So they came here not knowing what they were going to do and then they took flying lessons. Others entered the country just a few months before the attack and these participants acted as the muscle for the plan. Only 12 survivors were pulled from the rubble after the collapse of the towers. Only 12 people guys, that's not much. Afterwards, 18 people were rescued from the rubble of the towers. The last survivor was pulled out of the rubble after being struck for 23 hours. That's a long time guys. Ages of the 19 hijackers ranged from 20 to 33 and most of them were from Saudi Arabia. In order to take over the planes, the hijackers, get this, were able to easily smuggle box cutters and knives through security. I don't think you could do that nowadays. I think it'd be very difficult to do that nowadays. But you know, that's how simple it was back then, how naive we were. Out of all four planes, three hit their targets. However, this is the one I want you to think about for a second. The fourth plane, Flight 93, okay, was reclaimed by the passengers before crashing into an open field. So those, those people, those people, and it's been theorized that the passengers of Flight 93 attack the cockpit with a fire extinguisher while the plane crashed. All 44 people aboard were killed. The target of Flight 93 isn't known for sure, but it's believed to be on the way to attack the White House or the US Capitol or Camp David retreat. We're not really sure where it was going. Or one of several nuclear power plants on the east coast, because that could have happened too. It took almost 10 years to locate and take out Osama bin Laden, but he was finally killed by US forces in 2011. Up until his death, there was a 25 million dollar bounty on his head. And yet it still took 10 years and nobody turned him in. Nobody turned him in, which is crazy. There were numerous occasions to capture Osama bin Laden from 1998, but for various reasons, such a probable civilian casualties, none of these plans were ever executed. So we knew about the guy before he did this stuff. We just didn't do anything to capture him for various reasons. And I'm not saying, you know, they were good or bad or indifferent. 9-11 was not the first attack on the World Trade Center in case you think it was. In 1993, there was a bombing that killed six people and injured over 1,000, okay? One of the men who was behind 9-11 also played a major part in the 1993 bombings. Both attacks were carried out by Al Qaeda. So we've known about this group for a long, long time. The plan was carried out by detonating a 1,200-pound bomb in a parking garage beneath the World Trade Center. Guys, 1,200 pounds. That's a big bomb. I don't know how they got it in there. I really don't. Originally, the intention for the 93 bombing was to ruin the foundation of Tower 1 enough to force it to topple onto the second tower. It just didn't work. So they had done this stuff before. Luckily the plan failed because of overcrowded parking in the truck that carried the bomb was not able to get close enough to its target location. Had that plan worked, it would have brought the towers down faster than the 9-11 attack and resulted in a higher death toll. So it's kind of interesting what's going on there. The week after 9-11, alcohol consumption in Manhattan increased by 25%. Tobacco intake rose 10% and church attendance rose by 20%. I guess there's some good and bad and everything, right? After the attacks, it took firefighters 100 days to extinguish all the fires around Ground Zero. Imagine 100 days, right? What is it? Over three months. It took them over three months to do this. There was $100 million worth of art that was lost in the collapse of the towers, including a memorial place or piece for the victims of the 93 bombing and paintings by Pablo Picasso. During the destruction, a guide dog named Roselle led her blind owner down 78 flights of stairs to the home of a friend. Dogs are amazing. I'm looking at my dog at the backyard right now and she's running around and she's just amazing. On a normal day, the towers up to 50,000 employees worked in the buildings and an extra 40,000 passed through the buildings. While workers were going through the debris, they found 65,000 items, including 437 watches and 144 wedding rings. That's some pretty sad stuff. Just about six months before the towers were destroyed, a property developer bought a 99-year lease on the World Trade Centers for $3.2 billion. After the tragedy, there was a three-day flight ban across the entire United States. Now imagine this. If you weren't around then, no airplanes flew in the United States. None. They didn't fly. Scientists took advantage of this and organized experiments on the effect of jet planes on the atmosphere. When the National Guard went after Flight 93, the two pilots who were in the air didn't have time to properly aim their jets. The pilots knew that if they intercepted a hijacked plane, they would have to fly their jets into the aircraft with no guarantee of their own ejection. In other words, the brave pilots went on a suicide mission. Imagine that. And I have a relative who actually is a fighter jet pilot. That's an amazing job, guys. It really is. I'm a private pilot myself and I can't imagine the speed and power of one of those airplanes. The 9-11 attack has been the largest loss of light on a foreign attack on American soil higher than even Pearl Harbor. The New York Times wrote an article about every single 9-11 victim. They called the series portraits of grief. At least 200 people jumped from the tower during the blitz. Imagine jumping from that building. The fall lasted less than 10 seconds. Rather than suicide, these deaths were ruled as homicides at the hands of the terrorists, which they truly were. These people didn't get up that day and plan to jump out of a building. That wasn't their plan. There have been several memorials for 9-11 erected around the world made from just rubble of the towers. Some locations included Israel, Italy, and more impressively, a piece of the towers has ended up in a memorial on some space tools on Mars. That's crazy, right? More than 1,100 people who work and live near the World Trade Centers during 9-11 have been diagnosed with cancer due to exposure from toxins from the site. Some of these include asbestos, smoke from jet fuel, and carcinogens. So people are dying every single day, up until today, and more people are going to die. A lot of those people don't have any benefits. That's something you want to look at. I know John Stewart led something. Hello, Hanman Chu. What's going on? Hustle. He says hustle, yes. So the employee who gave the order to ground all the planes, the horrible attacks, was Ben slimy, and like I said in the beginning of this session, it was his first day on the job. Imagine that. That's your first day on the job. While the planes were grounded, there was one exception made to this ruling. The former president of the World Trade Center Survivors Network support group. He had one of the most famous survival stories that was broadcasted in many interviews. It was later exposed that she was a fraud and was not even in the country at the time of the disaster. Imagine trying to capitalize on this stuff. It's a mind blowing, right? Upon the first plane striking Tower One, people in Tower Two tried to evacuate, but were urged to stay at their desk by an announcement. Some tried to leave anyway, but were turned back by security. Imagine you had a chance to get out. Canada took in 255 diverted flights in the United States on 9-11. Upon receiving them, the Canadians fed the stranded passengers and took care of them. Over a hundred search and rescue dogs were deployed to help find survivors in the rubble of the towers. September 11th is now commemorated as Patriot State to honor those who died in that tragedy. Guys, there is a lot of history. I mean a lot of history around 9-11. I think it's something that everybody, everybody should know about, be educated on. That first plane hit September 11th at 8.45 on a clear Tuesday morning and it was an American Boeing's 767 and it was loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel. Imagine that. Imagine that hitting a building. Of course the building would fall. In 18 minutes after that first plane hit, Boeing 767 United Flight 175 appeared out of the sky turning sharply toward the World Trade Center and sliced into the South Tower at the 60th floor. That collision caused a massive explosion that showered debris over the surrounding buildings going to the streets. It immediately became clear that America was under attack. And like I said in the beginning, you know, this was all under the, I guess, direction of Osama bin Laden, that Pentagon attack. As millions watched in New York and what was going on with Flight 77 circled over Washington DC before crashing into the west side of the Pentagon, and that's the military headquarters. Okay, that was at 9.45 jet fuel from the Boeing 757 caused a devastating inferno that led to structural collapse of a portion of the giant concrete building which is the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense. All told 125 military personnel and civilians were killed in the Pentagon along with 64 people aboard the airline. Now in less than 15 minutes after the terrorist struck a nerve center of the U.S. military, the whore in New York took a catastrophic turn when the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed in a massive cloud of dust and smoke. Guys, if you're here today, if you're here today, think, you know, be thankful. Be thankful. I don't know what your situation is. I don't know what's going on, you know, in your part of the world. But you know, all these lives were lost. A lot of people went through some horrible things. A lot of people are still suffering from a lot of this. So, you know, today, you know, take a moment, you know, moment of silence. Think about those people. Think about how lucky you are. Think about where you are right now versus all those people that died and you know, their families that were affected and everything. And be thankful and do something with your life. Don't just get through your life. I see so many people who I look at and I'm like, you're just getting through life. You're getting up every day. You're probably going to a job you don't like. You're spending all day on that job. You're miserable in the job. You come home. You're miserable with your family. You live in a house you don't like. You're driving a car you don't want. You're wearing clothes you don't like. You never get a chance to go on a vacation or enjoy your life. You go to bed. You get up the next day and you do the same thing and you do this for years and years and years. And then you try to retire on Social Security or some small retirement amount that may be half of what you are earning. And then you die. And that's what you did with your life. Don't do that. Do something more with your life. Do something more with your life guys. Don't do that. Make your life count. Every one of you has a really greatness inside of you if you let it come out. And if nothing else today on 9-11, maybe that will wake you up to the things that you can do. The things that you should do. You can't change the past. Don't sit there and dwell on that. But imagine what you can do in the future at any age. Any it doesn't matter what age you are. It doesn't matter what capabilities you have. It doesn't matter physically what you look like. It matters what you do on a daily basis. So I want to play my tribute one more time to the 9-11 attacks. And I put together this little video here guys. And it's going to bring up some images and let you guys kind of see what it was all about. So I'm going to go ahead and stick it up on the screen now.
