They were unsure about containing the fire, so I suggested pulling the building to prevent further loss of life. They made the decision to pull it, and we saw the building collapse.

I was on top of the world, running a successful company with all my friends, making a million a day, debt free. September 11th changed everything. My office was in the World Trade Center; 658 of my 960 New York employees, including my brother and best friend, were killed. I felt responsible for my friends' families, but the company was losing money. We decided to rebuild, promising 25% of our profits to the families, and healthcare for ten years. The media attacked me, but my employees supported me. We rebuilt the company, and I gave my $100 million aside to the families, and their bonuses, and then repaid my employees who donated portions of their salaries. Their generosity saved the company and stitched my soul back together. They own 30% of the company because they are superhuman.

This is a tragic event. Our thoughts are with those affected, their families, and the first responders. We appreciate the efforts of everyone involved in responding to this crisis at all levels of government.

Harold Lutnick, head of Cantor Fitzgerald, describes how he viewed business and life differently after the terrorist attack that struck while he was away on his son’s first day of kindergarten. He spoke with business correspondent Terry Keenan about the impact on his firm and the families impacted. Lutnick explains that Cantor Fitzgerald is focused on ensuring the 700 families who lost a member are cared for. He says he spent the day talking with their insurance company, CNA, which told their people that they would treat the deaths as accidental, and would double the policy for all of the victims upstairs and for everyone connected to the firm. This added $35,000,000 to the group upstairs. He notes, however, that while $35,000,000 sounds like a lot, dividing it by 700 people yields only about $50,000 per family, which he says is not enough and underscores the need to work on their foundation. Lutnick mentions that Cantor Fitzgerald has established the Cantor Fitzgerald Foundation to raise money for the victims and to ease their lives. He says the foundation will go to take care of and try to help the victims of the tragedy, with aims such as paying for health insurance long-term, providing additional financial support when possible, and making lives easier in various ways. He emphasizes that the foundation is intended to help the victims and their families, and he invites donations from anyone who can contribute. When asked about the needs of the young families, Lutnick details the demographics: the average employee is around 33 years old, most are newly married, with about a dozen women pregnant with babies who just lost their husbands. He notes there are more than a thousand, possibly 1,500, children who have now lost a parent and the breadwinner. He reiterates the commitment to raising money for the foundation to support these families and relieve some burdens related to health insurance and living expenses. Lutnick reflects on how he felt during the events: he did not arrive early enough to be inside the building, stood outside at the door helping people evacuate, and tried to locate higher-floor survivors. He describes standing under the building as the second collapse occurred, feeling incredibly lucky to be alive, and expresses gratitude for that survival. He says he feels a responsibility to do his best for the 700 families and that his brother and sister are part of his family who were lost. He acknowledges his own survival, saying he is thankful, and emphasizes that he must work to support the group and that Cantor Fitzgerald’s traders, as well as his colleagues at East Speed and TradeSmart, are doing their best to support the victims. He closes by calling his employees heroes, along with the victims’ families, and repeating that he is one of them.

There's never been anything like this. It's disgraceful, and I hope we attack fast. I hope we find out who it is and go fast. I have about a 100 men working down here, so just to spur them on. They've been down here for about a day and a half. Well, hope they are. I haven't really focused on that, but we have a lot of people coming down here and a lot of people down here now. And they're brave guys. A couple of them got hurt, but we're, I'm just wanna spur them on a little bit. I was just down to ground 0. Ground 0 is a disaster. I've never seen anything like this. I hope we act very quickly. I hope we find out who did it and act accordingly and Do

Let's see what are they doing because I see a lot of construction smoke going on. Oh, no. They are constructing they are taking out the whole platform where he was sitting, and they are constructing a new one as you could see. So that's what is happening right now. And guess what? The killer was there at there, and there was a video taken from here. And that's where you see a killer running behind in the background. And I was, like, right here when it happened. So this is what is happening right now. I think oh, as you could see, my boss is still there. They are taking the things inside, so I'm gonna go inside and see.

I received a call from the fire department commander who said they were unsure if they could control the fire. Due to the significant loss of life, they decided to pull the building.

I'm in Asheville, North Carolina, going door to door to check on people and offer supplies. We're distributing food and other necessities. We need to support our fellow Americans and neighbors. We must take care of our home, which is America. Regardless of where you live, if you can help those in need in other cities, please do so. We are here providing assistance.

I have 33 years of experience in the force, witnessing various events worldwide, including 9/11, natural disasters, and terror attacks. I thought I had seen it all until I arrived at the scene on Saturday. As a father of 10, I brought my family to help. The devastation was unimaginable. We found people who had been shot or burned to death, some multiple times. When I arrived at Kibbutz Ares two days ago, my team of 50 began searching houses for bodies. In one house, we discovered a pregnant woman with her stomach open and a baby connected to the cord, stabbed with a knife. The mother had been shot in the head. It's difficult to comprehend the order of events in such a horrific scene.

They are interrupting our ability to conduct missions. A security guard at a hotel said the entire hotel was booked for federal employees, so people pulled out of a mountain had no place to go. The speaker slept in a car and smells like foot and death, as does the entire team. No one slept. They got done around 3 a.m. and were back in the air when the sun came up. The speaker wants people to understand how incredible the organization, Save Our Allies, is and all the work that the volunteers are doing. This is biblical level devastation and apocalyptic.

The top floor collapsed. The speaker saw it blow and ran. He is 69 years old but was still able to run. He believes there are firemen trapped.

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'm in Asheville, North Carolina, doing disaster security and search and rescue for dialysis patients. This is a war zone, but the military isn't here, unlike during Hurricane Katrina. The American people should be angry at the government's inaction. People are hurting and dying. I saw young children searching for their parents and brought them to a church. The military is being restrained by DOD executives. The government isn't helping us, so we must take care of ourselves. Towns are self-policing. We need water, food, and clothes. I'm grateful for my motel room but feel guilty. A man was arrested for dropping off food in the mountains because he was supposedly interfering with a government operation, but there are no operations happening. It's sickening how the government treats Americans, offering minimal aid after sending billions overseas. Mayorkas is a traitor.

What this person has done is unbelievable. He's found hundreds of billions of dollars in fake contracts; I even read a tiny portion of them the other night. The money they're spending is a scam, and it's all coming back to the people who made those deals. He's also made people realize how many people should be cut. Instead of the usual 4% workforce reduction, he suggests 50%, 60%, even 70%. He's done a great job but is paying a price for it. Despite the personal cost, he's a real patriot opening a lot of eyes.

Donald, a developer, says "there's never been anything like this. It's disgraceful, and I hope we attack fast. I hope we find out who it is and go fast." He has about 100 men on site, with another 100 arriving. They've been down here about a day and a half. Ground 0 is a disaster: "Ground 0 is a disaster. I've never seen anything like this. I hope we act very quickly. I hope we find out who did it and act accordingly and Do." He notes others may donate: "I haven't really focused on that, but we have a lot of people coming down here and a lot of people down here now. And they're brave guys. A couple of them got hurt." Asked about donating to the Widows and Children's Fund, "It's certainly been I've done it over the years, and it certainly sounds like a good"

Let's see what are they doing because I see a lot of construction smoke going on. Oh, no. They are constructing they are taking out the whole platform where he was sitting, and they are constructing a new one as you could see. So that's what the change is. And guess what? The killer was there at there, and there was a video taken from here. And that's where you see a killer running behind in the background. And I was, like, right here when it happened. So this is what is happening right now. I think oh, as you could see, my boss is still there. They are taking the things inside, so I'm gonna go inside and see.

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.

Jamie was a great, classy, and intelligent guy who did so much for this company and stood above and beyond through hardship. I'm reevaluating things and focusing on what's important. We learned from his family that it was okay to break the news of his passing. It's a devastating blow and so senseless. The police said that after budget cuts, another crew member had their stuff broken into, and the police wouldn't even come on Saturday. Jamie would want us to talk about the cyber attacks and the possibility of World War III. We're going to keep fighting in his honor, and I'm going to talk to his family and support them. We're fighting hard, and they're still trying to shut us down. We love you, Jamie.

Donald, a developer with a hundred men working at Ground Zero, says "there's never been anything like this" and calls the situation "disgraceful." He hopes "we attack fast" and "find out who it is and go fast." He visited to "spur them on" and give support to his men, with another hundred coming soon. They've been working for about a day and a half. He hopes other developers are donating time and labor. He says the men are brave, and a couple have been hurt. Having just come from Ground Zero, he describes it as a disaster, saying he's "never seen anything like this." He hopes "we act very quickly" and "find out who did it and act accordingly." He states he has donated to the Widows and Children's Fund over the years and it "sounds like a good" cause.

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.

In the discussion, the collapse of Building 7 is debated through direct claims by several speakers. Speaker 0 states, "I saw Building 7 come down, and it was a controlled demolition. A classic controlled demolition." Speaker 1 counters with skepticism, arguing that "That building had no reason to come down. There's no history of a high rise fire and a fireproof resulting in failure of the building because the building is, in New York City, parlance, a class one, which is a single word, fireproof." The exchange shifts toward accountability and transparency. Speaker 2 asserts, "I demand to know, as should everyone, especially the media, why important testimony from made that day from over a 150 police, firefighters, and first responders regarding explosions wasn't included in the commission report nor investigated further." The conversation then moves to specific explosive claims. Speaker 3 contends, "It was a secondary explosion, probably a device either planted before or on the aircraft that did not explode until a hour later. I'm gonna call the vehicle right now. You gotta get back to me. Five minutes and the elevators exploded on us." A sense of urgency and confusion is conveyed, with a voice adding, "We we we we said something's wrong here. I mean, the plane hit up on the Eightieth Floor. I mean, fuck. In five minutes, all of a sudden, now the elevator's exploding on the first level in the lobby?" Personal losses and the human cost are underscored. Speaker 0 reflects on the impact on his own life, saying, "And it's the first thing I think of when I get up in the morning, and it's the last thing at night before I go to bed. I lost Tommy O'Hagan, Kenny Kompel, and Bruce Van Hynes that day." The conversation culminates with a tribute to fallen colleagues. Speaker 2 notes, "343 firefighters, including three of my good friends, Thomas Hetzel, Bobby Evans, and Mike Keefer, perished that day. And these were some of the best and the bravest people in the world. And they, along with the rest of those who were murdered and died horrible deaths, deserve justice."

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 saw Building 7 come down, and it was a controlled demolition. A classic controlled demolition. That building had no reason to come down.

You gotta get back to me. Five minutes and the elevators exploded on us. Yeah. We we we we said something's wrong here. I mean, the plane hit up on the Eightieth Floor. I mean, fuck. In five minutes, all of a sudden, now the elevator's exploding on the first level in the lobby? And it's the first thing I think of when I get up in the morning, and it's the last thing at night before I go to bed.

And these were some of the best and the bravest people in the world. And they, along with the rest of those who were murdered and died horrible deaths, deserve justice.

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.
