I watched as the building came down, floor by floor, with a series of loud bangs that sounded like gunfire. It was chaotic. I saw explosions from the corner, and then there were multiple hits in quick succession. As the explosions continued, people started to run in panic. I witnessed a few of the blasts before I realized I needed to escape. The World Trade Center was collapsing, and I turned to run for my life as the building fell. The noise was overwhelming, and the scene was terrifying.

On 09/10/2001 I was in Denver for the opening night at Denver Broncos Stadium. Ed McCaffrey hurt that night on a season-ending injury. I planned to leave Sept 11 morning for Salt Lake City, but we were told to look in the lobby—there was a plane headed toward one of the towers in New York. We watched the second plane hit the tower; chaos erupted in the hotel lobby, and we realized this was a terrorist attack; we suspected Al Qaeda. Denver froze all flights; I stayed another two to three days. I’ve been to Ground Zero twice: first time they were barely cleaning up; second time during the National Republican Convention in NYC; our headquarters was across from the Marriott. I left a note with an American flag on memorial wall; later wall was blackened over. It changed America forever; unity like Pearl Harbor in 1941. God bless America.

During the Capitol breach, I heard rioters shouting for Trump and witnessed officers in pain. I was being crushed and struggling for oxygen, thinking I might die defending the entrance. Rioters were stripping shields from officers, but I had one and stayed at the front. My family was desperately trying to reach me, and I finally let them know I was alive after giving CPR to a rioter. I arrived home at 4 AM, unable to hug my wife due to the chemicals on my uniform. Despite exhaustion and injuries, I returned to work for 15 consecutive days. Even now, over 6 months later, I'm still recovering, along with other officers.

I heard gunshots and rushed to help a man who had been shot. As an emergency physician, I provided assistance until a helicopter arrived. I was the only one who performed CPR.

The speaker, trained as a paramedic, went to the World Trade Center and was allowed inside by a FEMA agent. He and others directed people leaving the building to avoid falling debris. After the second plane hit, he asked an FBI agent about air support and bomb threats, suspecting the planes were a distraction for bombs in the garage. He told an FBI agent that the buildings would collapse, and the agent confirmed they knew. The speaker then left the building and offered help to paramedics outside. Shortly after, the building exploded and collapsed. He ran and took cover behind pillars, surviving the falling debris. He believes others he was running with who didn't turn were killed and cars were exploding.

I heard what I thought were firecrackers and then someone screamed that a man had been shot. I rushed over, identified myself as an emergency physician, and saw the victim jammed between benches with a headshot, significant blood, and brain matter visible. There was no ambulance arriving, so I enlisted the help of bystanders. I asked if anyone else had been shot and began performing CPR, focusing on chest compressions.

I walked up to the Pentagon after the plane crash. The fire was still burning, and I saw a big hole in the building. There were only small pieces left, no big parts like wings or fuselage. No plane crashed near the Pentagon, just the side of the building.

I witnessed a shooting at a rally where a man was killed and a woman injured. The shots seemed to come from behind the bleachers, hitting the man in the head and grazing the former president's ear. The chaotic scene unfolded quickly, with the police and SWAT team evacuating the area. As a doctor, I offered assistance but was not needed. The victims' family members were distraught. The incident highlights the polarized political climate in the country. I had a sense of foreboding before the shooting occurred.

I was in charge of detonating explosives. We destroyed buildings belonging to terrorists, mosques, and even a UN office that helped families affected by war in Gaza.

The Red Cross representative warned us to stay behind a line because a building might be brought down. After a countdown, he yelled for us to run for our lives, and then explosions followed. It was clear to me that it was an explosion, not just floors collapsing.

In Hoboken, Jim Friedel witnessed two planes purposefully crashing into the World Trade Center. People covered in bandages and blood were seen outside the building. Another explosion occurred, causing a building to collapse. The top of another building also collapsed, creating a massive plume of smoke. Firefighters and police were evacuating the area as people ran away in a frenzy.

I was working at the White House with Vice President Cheney on 9/11. I helped evacuate him from his office and stayed with him throughout the day. The reaction of our shift was instantaneous and seamless, like a choreographed moment. It was a reminder of the importance of training. That's how we made it through that day.

I think a bomb went off to the lobby first, then a plane hit the building. Then another plane hit the other building. And but when I was coming through the doors on the other side of the trade center, something either they blew the lobby up or something because it blew the glass out of the doors and knocked us all down, and I got a smoke and everything off it. I just feel a little shook up because I got blasted, you know, which, I'm just trying to, you know, I want a drink of water. They don't have any water though.

I built a successful company, hiring friends and reinvesting everything. On 9/11, we were on top of the World Trade Center. My brother and best friend were among the 658 employees killed out of 960 in New York. I was late that day because it was my son's first day of kindergarten. After the attack, we decided to rebuild, committing 25% of our profits to the families of the victims and covering their healthcare for ten years. The media criticized us, but we persevered. Employees sacrificed 25% of their pay, and later, when we took a division public as BGC, I gave them back all their money and more. My employees own 30% of the company. They saved me and stitched my soul back together.

I heard shots, thought they were firecrackers. Someone yelled about a shooting. As an ER doctor, I helped a man with a head wound. Did CPR until the helicopter arrived. Only one person was shot. Evacuate.

I was at the base of the second tower when it was hit on a busy morning. At 9:15, there was a powerful shaking, which felt like a heavy weight falling. People evacuated calmly, though you could see fear in their eyes and hear it in their voices. Once outside, a second explosion occurred, followed by a series of explosions. Emergency vehicles were present when debris fell on them, highlighting the unexpected nature of the structural damage. Now, eight hours later, the operation continues, and we can only speculate about the extent of the human toll caused by these explosions.

I heard gunshots and rushed to help a man who had been shot in the head. I identified myself as a doctor and provided assistance until a helicopter arrived to transport him. I performed CPR and chest compressions. There was only one victim. Evacuation was necessary.

I went on a 5-week medical mission to a field hospital on the border of Chani Yunus and Rafa. The devastation was beyond what I expected. We managed mass casualty incidents, performed surgeries with limited supplies, and saw many children with shrapnel and gunshot wounds. It was heartbreaking to treat so many innocent victims.

There was an explosion in the lobby; it was the third explosion. The whole lobby collapsed on us. We were in the staging area inside the building waiting to go upstairs, and they were still smoking. After that, everybody tried to work their way out.

I just saw the World Trade Center collapse. I was trying to figure out a way to get out of here. Where should I go? Oh my god. There's nothing but smoke out there. I'm coming inside. Oh my god. I just saw it just tumbled in on itself. I see nothing but smoke. I see nothing but smoke and ash. And I don't know where I

I was a maintenance worker at the World Trade Center. On 9/11, before the plane hit, we heard a very loud explosion that came from below. The walls cracked, the ceiling fell, and the sprinklers went off. People were screaming. I thought it came from the mechanical room in Basement 2. About six or seven seconds later, we heard the plane hit the tower. These were two completely separate explosions. There were 14 people in the office who felt the same thing. I testified to the 9/11 Commission behind closed doors, but they didn't include my story in the report. As the last man out, I was left out of the 9/11 Commission report.

What happened? Did the side of the building come down? There was a whole bunch of smoke and glass. I think we're just about the last ones in this building right now. I hear the top of the building fell over on us. We're standing right underneath the Sixth World Trade when a building actually, the plane made it the first time. We had a plane, the engine screaming, and then just an explosion. Glass, then everybody was running around trying to get away. My name is Bennett, b e double n e t t e. I'm Secret Service, OST.

At 10:30 AM, I went to the 6th floor for phone reception. I fell, unable to smell, surrounded by white dust. My uncle showed me my injured leg, which he had to amputate with a kitchen knife due to the lack of resources. I spent 4 days in shock and pain, feeling like I was dying. My family used cell phone lights for visibility. It was a difficult and traumatic experience.
