I remember it. I was 7 and in 2nd grade of school in South Texas. I remember just getting to school at 8:00 am and shortly after, everyone's parents were checking their children out of school in fear of schools being hit. When I graduated highschool, I joined the US Army. I served 8 years and got out. Now, I'm a FireFighter. Every year, we climb up 110 flights of stairs with a tag for a fallen firefighter. The climb is done is full gear plus SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus). I love your videos! Keep up the amazing work and thank you for reacting to this song.

I was a soldier in the UNITED STATES ARMY stationed at Camp Humphreys South Korea. It was roughly midnight in korea, i had a side gig as a DJ in an off post night club, and i remember seeing it on the TV and asking the owner of the bar what happened because naturally i couldn't read nor understand what was beeing said on the tv. She tells me that she thinks 2 planes collided into each other, so me thinking its an accident continue to play music and have a good time, only to realize when i try to get back on base and everything is locked down what really happened. I remember the anger i felt, the fear, the uncertainty, but most of all i remember the pride i felt in putting on that uniform the next morning that said U.S ARMY.

This is a beautiful song, it brought a tear to my eye. I ride with a Motorcycle club that was founded in memory of a Port Authority Police officer that died that day. The last photo taken of him, he was helping firefighters carry an injured woman out of the towers using a door as a stretcher. Shortly after he was rescuing a group of survivors from an elevator shaft. As he got them out the doors, he was struck by falling debris that threw him into a nearby taxi killing him... Long live the memory of Port Authority Police Officer David Lemagne, Badge number 834 and all the other Heroes that selflessly gave their lives that day.... #neverforget

One of the things that I remember from that day was my Grandmother, who was fifteen when Pearl Harbor happened in 1941, and the look on her face when she realized what was happening. That her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren now had to have memories of an attack on their country. This song, even though it has been nineteen years, still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

We raised our hands, got our teachers attention, and relayed the news to him. He thought we were lying to him, but he humored us and turned the TV in the classroom on anyways. And the image on the TV will forever be burned into my memory. In fact......14 years later, at 27, I joined the United States Navy. I am now 2 months from separation from the Navy after finishing my contract. Had 9/11 Never happened, I never enlist. Thank you for reacting to this song, Miss. It is important that we never forget.

I was in high school, 10th grade. Algebra class with Mr. Stancil. Another teacher knocked on the door and whispered something to Stancil. He told us something was happening in New York but they weren't sure what and he turned on the TV, this was right after the first plane hit. My entire class, I assume most of the school watched live as the rest of the events occured that day.... we watched as the second plane hit and we knew our country was under attack..... we watched as those towers collapsed one by one, and we knew there were still thousands of people in them. We watched as the reports came in of the plane hitting the Pentagon. We watched as reports of a fourth plane came in that crashed in a field, who's brave passengers managed to storm the cockpit and force the plane down before they could hit their intended target - The White House. All we knew is that whomever was responsible was going to pay dearly in the coming days, weeks and years. Tens of thousands of young people signed up for military service right after this to make them pay, and they have.

Once I heard the pentagon was attacked I was waiting to hear the president had ordered a nuclear strike. I still think we should have launched a tactical nuclear strike. Even if innocents would have died the world needed to be shown that if you attack the United States we will retaliate with overwhelming and overpowering force. No country can stand up to our military if the rules are thrown out and the full might of the US military is brought to bare.

The ship deployed so fast that we didn't know all the details until we were launching aircraft off the coast of Afghanistan. The famous 9/11 flag that the firefighters were pictured with was flown out to the ship and we flew it from the mast for the rest of the deployment. As we were coming back home, those firefighters were flown out the ship and in a ceremony, we gave the flag back to them. I wasn't at ground zero, but that deployment was hard...i want to forget, but cannot.

Thank you for this reaction! I love it so much! I was in 4th grade in school in upstate New York. There were a bunch of teachers in the hall where they were told. They ran in and turned on the news and were visibly shaken. At the time only one tower was hit and they thought it was just a horrible tragedy. Then we saw the second plane hit. The teachers dropped to the floor cuz they realized the whole thing was no accident if the same thing happened to the neighboring building not 15 minutes later. They kept the news rolling but some teachers were directed to keep us from seeing it and distract us. The lessons stopped the rest of the day. We were directed into the auditorium for moments of silence and prayer. They talked about sending us home for the day but they had orders to keep us where we were at. At the end of the day when I got home I was in a fog still thinking it was a bad accident. My mom sat me down and told me it wasn’t an accident and made it very real. My mom was not one to censor anything happening in the world and I’m grateful for that. She taught me tremendous compassion on that day. I remember the fear that day and the days following not knowing if there were going to be more attacks or where the attacks were going to be. I remember people talking and crying that they were going after skyscrapers. We had just learned about skyscrapers in school and there were a lot of them throughout the USA. Every year since I remember every detail of that day. I learn more and more about that day each year, there was just too much for me to take in in one single day. Now I have a playlist for 9/11. Survivor stories, the news castings, hero stories, the phone calls from planes; those trapped; the airlines; the heros that called home. I taught my daughter about it this year. Every year prior she always asked me and my husband why mommy is always crying today and I taught her what my mom taught me. I don’t want the nation to forget that day. If they forget- then the lives lost will lose their meaning I feel like. I didn’t lose anybody, but there were people who did and I want them to know- I saw it, I felt it, I remember with them. I pray for them and I love them.

I think in a different context we all lost someone that day .. not a one more of a something: security, peace, safety.

I was teaching at a Military School and we had four Saudi military students in the class with 22 mixed service US troops. I put it up on the projection screen of the classroom. It was a tough seen but everybody maintained their professionalism and we protected our Saudi students while we checked for orders and deployment instructions. To this day I am still friends with the Saudi students who have fought with us against insurgence in Iraq and Afghanistan. I am grateful that I had my military brethren with me that morning.

I remember exactly where i was....i was supposed to be on the first airplane that hit the towers but at 6 am i developed one of the worst toothaches ever. So at 7am i started calling dentists in the area and found one that was allowing walk ins at 8 am. Because of the pain i left my phone at the hotel i was in and went to the dentist directly. When i returned it was chaotic and devastating

Thank you for this song today, my heart still aches. I'm live in Mobile, Alabama, USA. I remember, my 6 yr old son was already dressed and ready for daycare and I was getting ready for work. I remember walking into the living room and seeing the first building burning, I thought it was a movie or something and turned the TV off. I worked basically as an intern for an insurance company at the time. When I got to work, my co-workers were standing around the TV not saying a word. The entire office was silent. That is when I realized it was real and my heart dropped to my stomach. Then I became afraid for my son because I didn't know how widespread this was going to go. I still go into a depression a few days before and it lasts almost to the end of September because Sept 16, 2004, my grandfather passed away. I still keep all the families in my prayers. We must never forget! No matter how much it hurts! The hurt will force us to strive to be better!

I'll never forget this horrible day! So many mixed emotions in the days that followed, I have tears in my eyes just listening to it now! The best version was the day it debuted live on the CMA's - you could have heard a pin drop in that room! Just Alan on the stage with a guitar & a black backdrop! Please stop bye & say hello if you have time! In the meantime I have to wipe these tears away, thanks Gitana for this song on this day - means a lot!

I was 150 miles from home, driving a truck. All I wanted to do is get home to my family. I was scared and pissed off at the same time. Nothing was going to get in my way to get home.
