I Visit The 9-11 Memorial & Museum In New York

(Viewer discretion is advised)
I visit the 9/11 Memorial and Museum located at Ground Zero in New York City.
The 9/11 Memorial Museum serves as America's principal institution concerned with exploring the implications of the events of 9/11, documenting the impact of those events and exploring 9/11's continuing significance.

I have a guide who shows me around the Museum telling the story of 9/11 showing a collection of artefacts and walking through the 110,000 square feet of museum
and pay my respects to the nearly 3000 people who sadly lost their lives on September 11th 2001.

Thanks for this very sensitive video. I didn't realise the extent and size and the content of the museum. Even just seeing it on the video was a very moving experience. Very much appreciate you bringing this insight to those of us unlikely to visit in person.

My mom died on 9/11. She was in the south tower. I live in Manhattan, and go down to ground zero everyday after work. I was just 7 years old, so I could understand what happened. When the second plane arrived, I had already lost hope. I still miss my mom.

My father is a 9/11 survivor and his best friend was killed in the attacks. His friend's remains were never recovered. Thank you for your sensitivity in presenting it.

The tour guide has likely given these tours countless times, yet she still gets a bit choked up at times... she is exactly the right person for this job. She understands the weight of the information she's sharing.

On Oct 4 2000, I made the snap decision to follow my dream to move to NYC, and I decided I would move exactly a year later. 11 months later, I watched the towers come down from my home in Texas - in utter disbelief. Despite the shock and sadness, I did not change my plans, and I arrived in Manhattan as planned less than a month after the attacks. I will never forget that time. It was a singular moment in history, when New Yorkers looked each other in the eyes, wherever we went - as if to say, "I see you, and I care about you, and I'm glad we're neighbors." The feeling of love and compassion that could be felt throughout this great city fully enveloped me, and welcomed me. I could see the hearts and kindness of everyone here. In a strange way, I was lucky to move here at that time. It has been my home for over 22 years now. I am an utterly different person now than I was then. I truly love my city. It has cared for me. It has brought me success. It has brought me love and friendship. It has given me my story, and my sense of place. Thank you for your lovely video. I am a fan and have been following your content for a while now. Be well, Tim. I hope the city was kind to you, and that you got to see glimpses of its true heart while you were here.

I got chills when she said that none of the blue pieces are alike because none of the people that perished were alike. Beautiful

My middle school teacher told me her dad was supposed to board flight 93 on a business trip but he got sick a few days before so he didn’t go! She was one of the best teachers I had growing up! I will never forget the story she told us!

A man who died in 9/11, called Ronald Gilligan, used to live on our road in Kirkby, just outside Liverpool, a very good friend of my brothers, and a damn nice person. My brother Alan has been to NYC, and paid his respects at the fountain. Ronald's name is on there. I remember Ronnie (as we knew him) coming round to ours. Really nice guy, he was an IT Manager for Cantor Fitzgerald.

how that lady does this on a regular basis is beyond me. It still brings me to tears.

[AngeliaMeow]

Wow, I'm extremely impressed with this tour guide. She did an excellent job.

[russellgay]

On 9/11, a friend of ours named Tammy was an American Airlines flight attendant. She traded her shift on flight 11 with flight attendant Betty Ong. Ong was the first person to alert authorities to the hijackings taking place that day. Shortly after the hijacking, Ong notified the American Airlines ground crew of the hijacking, staying on the radiophone for 23 minutes to relay vital information that led to the closing of airspace by the FAA, a first in United States history. For this, the 9/11 Commission declared Ong a hero. Our friend Tammy, to this day, is still receiving psychological help.

Her voice is perfect as she tells their stories. Soft and emotional but also strong.

[toddkurzbard]

The emotional strength of that tour guide is admirable. I couldn't do it, definitely not on a repeated regular basis.

[flashy]

The young lady did a fine job explaining everything, she has a strong will and a strong stomach.

My husband, Dr. Daniel Zipkin was a weekly volunteer chiropractor with the Red Cross at St Paul’s Chapel, a few blocks away from the site. He worked there for months treating those Police, Fire Rescue & Recovery personnel from the site. Dan died some years later.Thanks, Tim for a sensitive video visit to the site. Rest in Peace to all who perished in the attacks and afterward. Let us never forget !

[helennurse]

I take my hat off to that lady who was doing the tour it must be so hard to relive it all the time. Still to this day it’s so sad remembering what happened that day. Thank you for showing this couldn’t have been easy.

[Teh_Goat]

Seeing the actual damage brings images from 20+ years ago into sharp focus and the care and respect they have for the lost and their families is very dignified. It must be terrible for everyone concerned when 40% of the remains are still to be identified

My family immigrated to the US from several different countries, but all made it to NYC around 1920 or so.

Most of them still live there.

My dad worked 2 blocks from WTC on 9/11. It took him 7 hours to get home.

I couldn’t bring myself to visit the WTC site until last year.

I stood by the reflecting pools and sobbed.

I haven’t visited the museum yet.

But thank you for this video. I cried while I watched it, but I’m glad I could see it.

[friendlyadvice]

My sister and I visited ground zero in 2003. Back then, it was fenced off (for obvious reasons) and was just a hole. I stood there for ages just looking. It was surreal.

Thank you for posting this and for being so sensitive to the families. I've wanted to go to the Memorial but can't bring myself to.

My father worked in lower Manhattan for over 40 years and watched them build the WTC. He took the PATH from Hoboken every day to the WTC after it was built. When I was little, he took me to work on Christmas Eve. I remember getting off the PATH and taking those long flights of escalators up to the mall. It was amazing - so many people coming and going, and everything was inside like a city within a city. We would walk outside and I remember looking up at the Towers - completely awestruck.

In 1986, I was fortunate to be invited to watch the Statue of Liberty centennial fireworks from AT&T's offices in the South Tower (I think they were on the 60th floor). It was probably one of the best views of the fireworks you could have asked for. Over the years, my folks took me to the observation deck many times and even outside on the roof.

Years later, after graduating college, I worked in midtown. I took the PATH over with my dad to the WTC sometimes because I was still in awe of the Towers and the entire complex. In 1998, my company had its 100th anniversary party at Windows on The World. The food was amazing, and the view during the evening was magical.

On 9/11, I remember one of my co-workers running down the hall saying a plane hit the WTC. I think everyone that day had the same reaction - that's impossible as it was a clear, late summer day. I called my dad downtown as he got to his office (about 3 blocks south of WTC on Broadway) early that morning. If he had been 20 minutes late, he would have been there when the North Tower was hit. He looked out his window and saw what was happening. We didn't speak again till he got home later that day. He told me the NYPD told him to get his employees to the basement which was an old fallout shelter. He remembers hearing a rumble and then day turned to night. About an hour later they all left the building and walked to Battery Park where tug boats were lined up. My dad said they were very kind and comforting. They gave everybody bottles of water to wash off the dust from their eyes and throats - then took them to Hoboken. The fire department there hosed everyone down to remove the dust. He then took a train home.

My father lost several former colleagues on 9/11. I hope and pray that day is never forgotten - and all the innocent people who perished.
