Warning This Video brings tears to my eyes. We must never Forget!! This is from a home video a few blocks from WTC. Capturing the day from the crash of the first tower through the collapse of the second tower. It's very clear and about a 70mb download. The site was very slow yesterday, and some of you may have already seen it, but I feel a need to share it. I hope the link works September 11, 2001: What We Saw

Thank you for sharing. distributing it will ensure it never dies.

I don't know if I can watch this...I haven't watched a video of this since last year.

[the invisib1e hand]

you'll notice, at the beginning, where the left wingtip would be, someone tosses a rope out of the hole in building, and looks to be attempting to escape.

The collapse is stunning -- I've never seen it that way before.

The urbane, emasculated, new york hipster chit-chat really sets the tone for why this Great City has been curled up in the fetal position of history for the past 5 years.

I went so far as to e-mail the couple thanking them for posting this. Giving the public this piece of history coupled with their very private, personal reactions was not something they needed to do. Very laudable and I would go so far as to say courageous of them. It's just overwhelming to watch, too.

This gives an entirely different view of the buildings and the collapse.

"The collapse is stunning -- I've never seen it that way before."
I have never seen this view before either. I wonder if they waited to release it on the five year anniversary?

[the crow]

bump for later. thanks for the post.

[California74]

you were right. I cried.

I felt like I was there. I just want to hug the people who recorded this. God bless them for sharing it.

[nametrader]

When they showed the first firetuck responding, I truly felt a part of the scene.
I had trouble downloading the file with Internet explorer, but could save it using FireFox.

[Orange1998]

I have trouble with IE too.

[California74]

I did not realize you could download it. Thanks. I'm downloading it now.

The video has already been posted on YouTube:

Haven't seen it on myspace yet, but I bet it's there too.

[California74]

almost forgot - I felt exactly the same. I felt like I was on-scene right there with them. And I cried with her when the first tower fell on.

Downloading allows you to play full screen and you can see a lot of detail of whats going on.

Thanks for the YouTube link. My Dad doesn't have the Quicktime plugin and dosen't know how to get it.

Excellent video. Somebody needs to compile all these home videos of 9/11/01 and put them together. I had been through the concourse of the WTC at my usual time of about 7:30 AM that morning and the farmer's market was on Trinity Place next to Century 21. It was a beautiful day with absolutely clear skies and warm temperatures. I had worked in the WTC for over 3 years and my Dad had worked there for about 15 years before he retired. I had evacuated via the stairs on Feb. 27, 1993 when the WTC was originally bombed.


On 9/11, I watched in horror from the east side of Manhattan on Water St. from my 33rd floor office window. I saw the second plane hit and the buildings collapse. It was terrible. I was able to evacuate Manhattan via ferries at the South St. to Jersey City. Never forget the terror brought to us by these monsters.

NEVER FORGET 9/11 AND ALL THE INNOCENT LIVES LOST.

Share Your Videos, Earn Money

Every day, we see people posting interesting and exciting videos online. Some of these videos are seen by millions of people, and yet the creators of the videos never get paid. We started Revver to change that.

Before you post your videos anywhere online, get a RevTag. Unlike video sites that take your videos and give nothing back, Revver was designed from the beginning to support videomakers. When you upload a video, we'll attach a RevTag-- a single frame ad at the end of the video. Every time someone clicks on the ad, you'll earn money. Learn more about how it works.

Yeah, so courageous. Shrewd, too.

It was fascinating to listen to the chatter. Here they were just a couple of blocks away but they were as detached as if they were watching it on TV.

At one point someone asked if they were ok where they were. The guy says "yeah, they're attacking the World Trade Center, not us".

Later the woman says something like "run little people, run"

It bothered me at the beginning, but getting someone else's feedback makes it more disturbing to me, especially that last remark, which I hadn't caught.

But I live here, and these are my neighbors, and there's a lot of them, and it's...of concern. People who somehow haven't been made human, or have had the humanity bred and trained out of them.

I hope it's not as bad as all that.

I don't understand a person for whom the sun rises and sets on himself. I can be selfish, of course. And I'm not saying I'm better. I just don't understand someone who can watch that and not say, "I have to go down and help." There was no man in that room. A trust-fund boytoy, I assume.

At least one of the women wept. But the detached, mechanized "documentarian" (if there is such a thing) in the other woman would make her J-school profs at Columbia proud.

The Clinton Generation comes of age. I shudder to think of people like this in positions of great responsibility.

Download the whole new player, not just the plug-ins. I could watch the video after I did. Don't download the Quicktime for iTunes if you don't have an iPod. I've heard people complain about the iTunes software.
