I was working late swing shift at Nestle so I was still asleep, and I was living with my parents. My sister was also home and let me sleep until the first tower dropped (ie. the second tower that was hit). She had gotten the call from my parents at the airport that my dad was fine as he hadn't yet left for his meeting at the WTC later that day. We watched the second tower fall (ie the first one hit) and just sat in utter shock. I worked at a shipping and distribution center and even though all our deliveries were via truck and train, it was still a mess for weeks with the precautions that were then taken. I had also started the process to cash out a 401K from a previous job just prior and by the time the stock exchange was re-opened, I'd lost half of it. Small potatoes compared to the loss of lives that day and since, but, I still remember that.

I didn't even directly hear or see anything of the 9/11 attacks until after I got home. I was in 2nd grade music class when the first plane hit. My school had 2 music teachers at the time. One for K-4 and one for 5-8. The teacher for 5-8 came into our classroom and I remember her looking pale, like something terrible had happened. She said something to our teacher, who equally grew pale. No one else really overheard what the 5-8 teacher had said, but I remember hearing "plane hit..." But, the K-4 teacher put on a brave face for us youngsters and class continued as though it were only a minor interruption. We then went to church, my school was a Catholic School, and we always went to church on Tuesdays. That was when the veil was lifted, but not entirely uncovered. We were told that there was a terrible, evil act of hatred being committed in our country that would affect all of us, and that we would have to spend recess in prayerful silence, rather than playing. We, being kids, groaned, but mostly complied. It really wasn't until we got home that we fully realized what happened. We returned to school the following day very different

I think Jan 6th made the intelligence and military communities of the world "stand still" not necessarily average citizens.

Especially if the fallout escalated to a full blown coup that would ultimately impact global markets.

This is very American based tragedies rather than world horrors.

9/11, i was in second grade class and we were dismissed early that day. Had a relative stuck in the Chicago airport because all flights were forced to land and cell phones weren’t as big then, so we didn’t know they had traveled and all.

I was 16 when it happened. It was indescribable and still is. Everyone was just in utter disbelief. It was so surreal. I remember feeling like I would never feel safe again. It gave me bad anxiety for awhile, wondering if/when something similar would happen again. However, as horrible and nightmarish that day was, Americans all over the country came together and volunteered and did whatever they could to help. There were thousands of people, standing in long lines, waiting to donate blood. Countries around the world showed beautiful displays of sympathy and compassion for us. And none of it felt fake or forced or done for show. You could literally feel them sharing our disbelief and sorrow. There's a stark demarcation in time: there was life before the attacks and then...there was everything that came after. As horrific as it was, there were massive, global displays of love and solidarity shown to the US. And monumental acts of courage and resilience as everyone pitched in to help in any way they could.

This whole thing is mostly about the USA except for the covid 19

My dad tells me the story of when he asked someone how the challenger flight went and the person said “it blew up” and he thought they were joking but when he got home and turned on the TV it’s all they were talking about

I was only 28 days old when the challenger exploded

On 9/11 my sister, a flight attendant , was on a flight into DC. When the 2nd plane hit, I fainted. I’ll never forget watching that happen or wondering if my sister was alive, hijacked? Hurt? 😓 The irony? We aren’t American. It was truly a world tragedy.

The Challenger Disaster was caused by an eroded o-ring that made it so there wasn't a proper pressure seal in one of the rocket motors, causing it to explode at the higher altitude. Apparently it was looked over so it wasn't fixed, and people paid the price with their lives.

It wasn't overlooked. When they were deciding whether to launch that morning, they were told that it could be too cold to launch because the O rings could fail if they were frozen. The launch committee's groupthink overruled the engineers because they thought it was more important because of the publicity.

@jeanninepetriel7114 you're correct on that (used wrong wordings in my comment) and the fact it was too cold so the o-rings stiffened, causing them to fail, but they were also eroded and they caused blow-by, plus it was only the ones in the shuttle's right solid rocket booster. If it was primarily caused by the cold that day it would've been all the o-rings, not just the ones in that SRB. And yeah they were pressured to do many flights a year (around 24), which led to unsafe launch operations. Like the JFMM (Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual) says, "the safety and technical requirements became secondary to operational commitments." The Challenger Disaster, the USS Thresher (SSN 593), and the USS Iwo Jima (LPH-2) are 3 examples in our Quality Assurance/Maintenance program (JFMM) to show how import QA is, even with the smallest pieces of equipment. The Challenger happened because of an o-ring, the Thresher happened because of a piping failure causing flooding in the engine room which led to the ship being lost, and the Iwo Jima was because of incorrect bonnet fasteners placed on a root valve in the engine room, which when it got to a high enough temperature with the steam, causing the valve to blow off the pipes, killing 10 watchstanders.

change the title to moments that made the america stand still

"Scenes of carnage"? I don't think you know what that means.

Id probably add the day Saddam was finally captured by US forces. I have only ever seen my late father pray twice. Once, when mum's platelet count was below 10000 and we thought she was going to die. He begged. The other, was when Saddam was captured. Now, im an Indian citizen but he was born an Iranian subject, and was an Iranian citizen at that time. Many scores of Iranians had died in the war against saddam, many to poison gas, as had many, many more Kurds. He cinsidered a victory for humanity. Worth remembering.

I love how, as opposed to other 30+ count downs, they spent a respectful time on each entry. I have specific memories of many of the moments.

This list is very United States Centric

John Lennon may have made legendary music, but he was also a cheater that abandoned his son and admitted to being violent with women. He was not a good man.

Things I learned from this video: 1) Watch Mojo will believe anything they see on TV 2) They will repeat everything that they are told to repeat 3) They do not know how to read a dictionary to know the definition of words they use

I grew up in NJ, about 30 minutes away from Lakehurst. The garages they put the zeppelins in are so big, they rain inside. They’re incredible. The McDonald’s down the road from there has the photos of that disaster. When I was little, eating there with my father, that’s how I found out about what that town was famous for. That base is on the road between Rt. 571 and US 70, which I used to go past all the time in the late 90’s. It was just ominous by then.

Wanna know something crazy? There was a man who survived BOTH nukes. He survived the Hiroshima bombing, went to work the next day or so, told his boss what happened, and his boss thought he was lying. Then there was a bright flash and the glass in the building shattered. He sustained injuries and some radiation damage, but miraculously survived 2 nuclear detonations.

What about the death of Elvis or MLK

2004 Boxing Day Tsunami? Queen Elizabeth passing away? McCann disappearing?

I was not around when it happened but the Tsunami in 2004 made the world stand still more than 25 moments that were put on this list

I was working security at the checkpoint at the Love Field Airport in Dallas, Texas when that happened. The news people were coming through with their equipment, and I asked them what was going on, they told me to watch the news on my break and that is when I learned about Oklahoma City. I had a niece and nephew living up there. Thankfully they were okay but scared. I saw the memorial to the victims, and the tree that survived, but I broke down crying when I saw how many children had died because of backward thinking fools. 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤

One thing that the world can pay attention to what’s really happening in the world (especially the United States).

Having the 2021 capitol 'attack" #19 is a joke. It shouldn't be on this lost at all. 13:45 broke in????? lmao they got let in by police.

Major of the events were US-related & US allied, where as there many more which were not even mentioned in the list. Like the 26/11 Terrorist attack on Mumbai, India which brought the country to a stand still which was far more dealier than some mentioned in the list with all due respect to them and lives lost, the Assassination of Mahatma Gandhi similar to JFK Assassination in some terms more significant as without being a politican had brought freedom to India. Have many from other countries events as well, but only if you would consider other countries as well. Or you dont consider the above mentioned events as tragedy.

I remember watching Japanese vids , seeing them wearing their facemasks and thinking - " bruh I would never " ...........

A question if I may, how do you guys use footage from sources for over five seconds? KZread copyright laws stipulates that you can normally use no more than five seconds of footage so how did you guys manage to bypass that? This ridiculous rule is giving me great difficulties on a current project that I am trying to upload to my channel so a response would be appreciated. Thank you very much. Good video.

Watching the Challenger explode on live tv in 4th grade still sticks to me this day. It’s vivid. RIP all who were affected. It was my introduction to how fragile life really is.

Watchmojo is the only one that can make a video of shocking events without inclunding ww1

9/11 is something I vaguely remember, but I was in 1st or 2nd grade when it happened, I think I heard the news over the PA system and I was sorta clueless cause I was just going on like it was a normal day, then I went home that day, my mom was sitting in the living room crying, and I was watching TV with her and I became utterly shocked. #neverforget.

I laughed during the capital building. I laughed so hard. I thought it was the greatest television show ever. I just thought there needed to be a little bit more

I was in school when 9/11 happened and most parents didn’t want to tell their kids about the terrible attacks so that wouldn’t frighten their children.

Speaking of Covid… I was watching an old KZread video and at the end of the video the guy said something to the effect of I know things are a little crazy right now but don’t worry because 2020 is right around the corner. Looking at what happened in 2020, that comment did not age well.😂

The title of the video does not refer to the reality of the facts, it only highlights the United States and not the world as a whole. Therefore, it cannot be categorized as correct information for those who watch it

I promise you people in the hills of India did not know about the Capitol building riot or the OJ Simpson trial. They did know about the moon landing for example

The Apollo missions actually have a link to my family; my Grandfather was a Gunner’s Mate on the USS Hornet when the missions were picked out of the ocean. The Hornet is now a Naval, Air, and Space Museum docked in Alameda, California. Whenever he’s in our city we all troop across the bay to visit the Hornet

If i remembered hearing it right, the aromic bombings could of never happened. From what i heard, japan did indeed offer up a surrender in back channels, with the condition that the emperor stay in power. The us declined.

"The manhunt went on for a decade." Be honest. We weren't looking for him. We spent a decade in Iraq going after Hussein who had nothing to do with 9/11.

I remember 9/11. I remember some idiot in my english class in 8th grade thought they had just barely happened because it was 9 am, he swore the news casters in the eastern time zones didn't know how to tell time. I also remember hating hearing the same news story coverage for the 3 weeks after that being JUST on the towers going down. It was really annoying. My 8th grader brain knew it was a major disaster. But for weeks on end, the only thing that was covered in the news was all about it. So I hated the news after that.

Lmao, the capitol protests are a non event
