    Amazing recall. What a man and what he went through,... the one thing that's not correct in his recall is that Fr Mychal Judge, FDNY Chaplain, was not hit /killed by a person falling. He died in the Lobby of 1WTC as 2WTC collapsed. He was hit by debris on the back of his head. RIP. This version has been going around for 23 years. I think it came about as Firefighter Daniel Suhr *had* been killed by a 'jumper' on Liberty Street as his engine company 216 was about to enter the southside of Tower 2. The story got about that Fr Mychal was also hit when he was blessing FF Suhr. Simply not true. Despite that one misapprehension, how lovely that Mr Guarnera found Fr Mychal's helmet in the lobby of 1WTC and gave it back to the FDNY dep chief. What a brave man for all he did that horrible day.

    This is correct. There is video footage of Judge standing in the lobby while one of the Naudet brothers films. It’s actually really sad because you see him look up into the air and he knows it’s going to be bad. When the other tower comes down they all run into a nearby section with an elevator but Judge doesn’t make it in time.

    I am a New Yorker, born and raised in Queens. Spent a lot of my teen years in 1960 and 1970 running around Manhattan. Had been upstairs to Windows on World for dates and even worked a temp job in WTC for a couple of days back in the 1980's. I was at work in Dutchess County, NY the day of the attack. I had moved up here 11 years before the tragedy. I was on the phone with my husband who was home; I was telling him about the 1st plane when tje 2nd one hit while we were talking to each other. That was when we realized it was a terrorist attack. And just now, when I heard this getleman say that Tower 1 groaned - a noise he had never heard the WTC make before - for the first time I realized that the WTC was really a living entity that was signaling that it was mortally wounded...and it was dying. There would be no way to save it. Nor any of those being supported by its structure. Those high up in the sky would not survive.

    I have and often still do think about the situation those people lived through that day and the hight at which those towers stood has made my heart skip a beat in thinking about that situation and If it would have been me would I have Jumped ? With the upmost respect for those people and that day I believe that in that situation you’re faced with death either way and one of those options wasn’t nearly as bad as the torture of the other. I believe in that position you’ve very likely accepted your fate and I hope ( for those people) that upon acceptance of that fate it gave them the peace and courage to make that Jump. If there is a god up there in the heavens he just had to have guided and been with those people who made that jump R.I.P to all those that lost their lives that day on 9/11 ❤❤❤

    Father Michael was absolutely not killed by a jumper.. He was killed when the second tower collapsed. You are confusing the death of a firefighter named Danny who was killed by a jumper falling on him as he approached the North Tower. Father Michaels death certificate for this particular incident is listed as 001. So here's the official 001 victim of the tragedy. However, the very first person to die in this whole affair was a gentleman named Danny Lewin Who was sitting in business class on flight 11

    I don't know if I missed something there, but (rightly or wrongly) I got the impression he felt the experience made him a better person, with more humility and perspective, less of a need to control a situation, and that this is what his wife thought as well. Even the marriage ending does not mean that she did not feel lucky she still has him. There are many people who are on good terms with an ex; but reach a point where they can't handle living with them anymore.

    I am binge watching 9/11 again and this video landed in my feed, so I'm currently watching and absorbing. I remember down the detail, where I was the morning of 9/11 when the first plane hit, thinking it surely was a small plane, an accident. I was in the conference room at work and we were all speculating the same thing when the second plane hit. Immediately my thoughts were this was a terrorist attack and that our world would be forever changed. When President Bush addressed the nation, my overwhelming thought was, for the United States to be successful in fighting terrorism, we would have to really and truly understand the mindset. We were dealing with an intensely dangerous enemy and conventional methods would be useless. My sister lives in Manhattan, and she was coming out of the subway as the second tower was hit. She managed to get one of the last taxis to get home. She said the scene before her was nothing short of apocalyptic. Her husband was an eye witness to the entire tragedy, as he watched from a nearby office building, and he somehow managed to walk home. I shut everything down that day. It was incomprehensible and it was the only way for me to manage the intense fear and lack of safety I felt. Fast forward 20 years, and that is when it all unfolded for me. By that time, there were so, so many documentaries and stories from that day and the ensuing recovery, to how this tragedy is still claiming lives through the illnesses first responder and others have and are facing, to the building of the memorials. Through watching endless videos, I finally was able to fully understand what happened that day, and start my own personal healing journey. The chaos from that day, now spilled out into an encyclopedia's worth of knowledge. Through the intense tragedies that live on, I have been able to discover the humanity and the heroism that man does indeed possess, and above all, that there is hope.
