This has got to be one of the best released footage of 9/11 in real-time ever. It was taken by a family watching the whole thing from their 36 story apartment a few blocks down from ground zero.
Please take into consideration when viewing this video. It is a powerful reminder to all and shoud not be viewed by the lighthearted.

Nice tribute, this film is chilling, I saw it a while ago.
Now, for my flashback: I was getting ready to get ready for work; Howard was on the radio, the TV's sound was muted.
I finally looked up and saw the tower with smoke pouring out of it and said "what the...", and then turned the sound on and just then my sister called and we watched and talked about it for a few minutes until the 2nd plane hit.
We were both "Oh my God..."
For the next week or more my nabes was like a demilitarized zone or something, only official traffic allowed. Lots of firetrucks and buses filled with fireman and rescue workers streamed through the neighborhood on their way down to Ground Zero.
Thankfully I lost no one, but know many people who did, including a friend at work who had joined us from Cantor Fitzgerald after being there for 10 years. He lost over 100 friends and acquaintances, including 3 of his best friends who I had met at a birthday party at a club about 6-12 months before.
They loved the nickname I had given him.
A friend of mine called his wife at home and said "Go and get a few hundred dollars out of an ATM, quick!" She finally had to go way uptown to find one that still had cash in it. But on the way back to their apartment she ran into many upper-class Mommies out on the streets (with their husbands still on their way home from work, hopefully) with their little kids and no way to get cash, and all of them crying and scared, and so little by little she gave away all her money to these scared and crying young Mothers.
So many stories, maybe I'll recount more next year.
We must not let people forget, and we must never refuse to recognize evil.

we will NOT forget
you 9/11 victims
will get justice

painful truth -
9/11 should be our
wakeup call
.
get Bin Laden -
we just need big SWAT team
and search warrant
.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
there is no good or evil
every thing's relative
don't judge a terrorist
.
All real freedom starts with freedom of speech. Without freedom of speech there can be no real freedom.

Thank you Uspace. I can't even imagine what you went through. It's painful enough watching this video. I commend you on your strength. My respect is with you and all that witnessed this event first hand.
