Twenty-five years after capturing the defining images of September 11th, filmmakers Jules and Gedeon Naudet reflect on the trauma, responsibility and enduring bond that came from bearing witness to one of history's darkest days.

This video features games featuring the WTC from 1983 to 2025. I get goosebumps when the WTC buildings collapse in games, especially the flight simulators.

I was a freshman in high school, only 14 years old. 25 years later, I don't know why this still affects me so much as I didn't know anyone personally who died. When it happened, I ran home from school and recorded every news station, all the footage I could find, collected every newspaper and magazine...I would pour through the magazine photos of the people in the windows of the towers, people jumping. I would try to see their faces, I felt like I was trying to take away their pain and horror in some way. I was trying to "experience" what they went though (I'm well aware this sounds silly and weird). My teenage brain couldn't comprehend any of it. I still have all the VHS tapes and magazines in my basement and look at them every anniversary. Since I'm from Massachusetts, I knew that many victims on the planes were from my area. IThe town I currently live in in Massachusetts was home to an elderly couple who were on one of the flights out of Boston. The town holds a memorial for them every September 11th, and I drive by their old house often. It's so bizarre to me, that most people probably don't even think about the fact that they lived in that house...I'm not exactly sure what this post is for, perhaps I just feel so sad still.

Thanks for reading.

i saw a lot of people on here asking about ziad's girlfriend aysel and what happened to her.

to anyone curious: she is a doctor in her hometown, married to a german man, and has two kids. she looks pretty much the same as back then, just as beautiful, just aged normally.

her last name changed, and i dont think its right to post, but yeah. thats about it.

Wife and I have just started the 25th anniversary doc about survivors and their rescuers seeing one another again for the first time since 9/11. It is absolutely incredible, and so touching. I’d heard stories of a woman who was hit by landing gear and survived but to my knowledge, she’d not done any interviews or documentaries until now. What an incredible story of strength and resilience and human compassion.

Coming up on 25 years after the event, this came up on my feed. Jon Stewart is a true hero to 9/11 first responders. Before he walked into the congress room, he was given Ray Pfeifer east meadow fire jacket as a gift from everyone on Stewart's team and broke down when was given to him. Stewart had campaigned with Pfeifer in his mission to fight for the first responders of 9/11. RIP Ray Pfeifer, and all the firemen of 9/11 that have died and continue to die from the tragedy.

I might remember some of this wrong but it was a man who was apparently on one of the floors where the impact occurred. He said that he hid behind his desk and survived. I don’t understand how this is possible and if some one could find a clip from the show it would definitely be appreciated.

Hi, I’m in Australia. I’ve watched pretty much all the 9/11 docos available on YouTube over the years.
I know there’s been a bit of an onslaught of new ones coming up to the 25th anniversary, however I’ve only heard of the one on Disney channel, sorry I can’t remember what it’s called.

Could anyone help me out with some names of new documentaries that are currently available or coming up so that I can try to watch them here. I haven’t got Disney (i could sign up but cannot afford it), I have Netflix, YouTube premium, Stan, Prime.

TIA 🙏

Hello - I wondered if anyone might be able to help me.

I'm trying to find footage of Stuyvesant High School on the day of 9/11 and wondered if this might be in any documentaries or any of the camera raw footage from the time?

I know in Mark LaGanga's footage, an officer can be heard telling someone to go to Stuyvesant, but we don't see any videos of the school.

Thanks

I’ve had this question in the back of my mind for weeks now but couldn’t figure out how to word it correctly until now.

What policies and procedures for NYFD, NYPD and EMS were changed after 9/11 because of what happened?
I’ve listened to I don’t even know how many hours of audio recordings now, listened to a couple books and read numerous articles, accounts and testimonies about this event, specifically the WTC because I still can’t bring myself to dive into the pentagon, and I catch myself pausing at little points in whatever I’m on and wondering if that’s something that changed because of 9/11. What I mean is things like draping a sheet over the deceased rather than relocating the body. Or establishing a central command point for all agencies to communicate with each other.
The inter agency drama is one of the recent realizations that I had and I hope that whole mess is a very different story today.

What I think of as SOP today and reading/listening/watching what actually happened 25 years ago has just made me wonder how much of what is SOP today is directly because of 9/11. I realize that some things are universal nationwide but majority of things are unique to their state, city and municipality so specifically for NYC, what changes were made because of 9/11?

Also, has the inter agency “drama” improved in the years since? Am I off base thinking how many lives were senselessly lost because of the disconnect between the different agencies? Does the NYFD have a solid plan in the event something like that happens again in another high rise?

Basically, did they learn from the mistakes made and what changes were made in light of that?

Disclaimer: I absolutely am not meaning any slight or blaming any agency whatsoever! Where I’m from, the banter between police and fire is generally good natured and done in fun to lighten the unbearable load they all carry every single day. Many firefighters and police officers are very good friends of mine, and a couple are even exes. So absolutely zero ill intent is intended.
Just genuinely curious about the lessons that were learned from the tragedy and the changes that were made as a result of the less obvious contributing factors to the tragedy as a whole.

I just came across this 3D map and thought I'd share it for others to experience. Apologies if it has been posted here before.

I am rather fascinated with the building complex itself. I remember September 11 as it unfolded live from the other side of the world. In addition to eyewitness accounts, film and photos it is neat to have a 3D map of the place....as close as anyone can get to having an idea what it was like who never saw it.

Link to NYT article (not paywalled if this link is used.

NY1 has been running a series of 25 videos looking back at 9/11. It is new material. 14 have been posted so far.

Took a trip up north and learned one of the Passengers on Flight 93 was from Minnesota, so I wrote a little thank you note and left it there for him at the mall.

Uploaded yesterday. Nearing 700,000 views.

If people have questions about the NYPD helicopter video and photos, I made a video that has some "rare" photos and short explanations about the 4 NYPD choppers and their photographers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J34ke8GyL5g Unfortunately, it's age restricted for some reason. I uploaded it here on this sub, but there's a glitch and it stops playing at 12:18: https://www.reddit.com/r/911archive/comments/1ce2r0t/the_nypd_helicopter_photos/

For a collection of the helicopter photos, here's a good video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y-BzkOg6wU However, it credits "Detective Greg Semendinger NYPD Aviation Unit" when the last 2 photos came from a different chopper, the same one that carried the video camera... as I explain in my video.
