Interview unearthed featuring survivor of 9/11 disaster from 72nd floor, with the towering structure crumbling right behind him
Remembering the 9/11 Tragedy: A Heartbreaking Resurfaced Interview
The harrowing events of September 11, 2001, forever left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of people across the globe.
Almost 3,000 lives were tragically lost that fateful day due to terror attacks orchestrated by Islamist extremists belonging to al-Qaeda. The attacks were the deadliest in human history, with plane hijackings causing two planes to collide with the Twin Towers in New York, one to crash into the Pentagon in Virginia, and another to brutally meet its end in a Pennsylvania field[2].
New York City, the city that never sleeps, was the hardest hit as the Twin Towers, standing at an impressive 110 stories each, crumbled to the ground[1].
The cleanup of the city took an unprecedented ten months, yet the emotional scar remains deeply ingrained even today. Headlines of the disaster dominated news outlets, eager to capture the city's utter devastation.
In a chilling moment of history, resurfaced footage from ABC 7 shows an interview with a man who had survived the attack by escaping from one of the Twin Towers. Dusted and shaken, he conversed with the reporter on the day of the attacks and even acknowledged the strength of the Twin Towers, drawing a comparison to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing[2].
But as he spoke, his attention was inexplicably drawn to the left, and the camera panned to reveal the very same tower he had just exited, now on the brink of collapse.
A profound silence falls upon the crowd watching this footage, which has been shared on social media platforms like Reddit. The emotional weight of the footage is palpable as the survivor witnessing his previous workplace vanish to dust, a stark reminder of the impact of that fateful day[2].
Warning: Some people might find the following footage distressing
"I can't even imagine being that close and watching it happen," one Reddit user said.
"My heart goes out to him," another wrote, empathizing with the traumatic experience endured by the survivor.
One user poignantly noted, "I can't stop thinking about how he must have felt, thinking about all the people he passed on his way down."
