@60minutes: "One of the things that I don't think I'll ever forget: There was very little color because of all the dust from the South Tower. It looked almost like a gray desert." 60 Minutes cameraman Mark LaGanga recalls what it was like reporting from the World Trade Center on 9/11, 25 years ago. For more from the 60 Minutes archive, tune in tonight at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Lesley Stahl will revisit one of the first 60 Minutes stories after 9/11, reported by her late colleague Ed Bradley, about Summit, N.J., which lost nine residents in the attacks. #worldtradecenter

jimmyk3232 :

could u imagine the footage if eveyone had a smartphone like today

☆Bradley☆ :

I was in 10th grade. I will never forget the look on my History teachers face.

heavypuro :

Towards the end you can hear the alarms on the firefighters in the background. That sound only triggers when a firefighter hasn’t moved in a certain amount of time, that sound is so damn haunting.

Bekah :

“Please go away” is so real because I get the point of recording but sticking a camera in someone’s face on one of their worst days is the worst way to get footage

Kate :

This is still so hard to watch.. ❤️

mythic pixie :

The chaos on the firefighter's radio hits me hard.

It still feels incredibly weird to me the deep impact 9/11 had on me. I’m Italian and I was just 8 years old. September 11th is the day may auntie and uncle celebrate their wedding anniversary and that year was their 25th one. I was in the living room watching the tv with my mom who was ironing some clothes, at the phone with my auntie. I can still recall the program I was watching switching to breaking news. I can recall the second airplane crash and the following collapse. I can recall my mom asking my auntie “are you watching?” and her yes after a long dark pause. We’re used to witnessing tragedies on tv and on our smartphones nowadays. In 2001 watching this live on tv felt like a movie scene. It felt foreign. Haunting. To this day.

Amanda Ashley 🇺🇸 :

Those poor firemen. They knew some of their colleagues were just trapped under that rubble.

⚔️📖PrinceZarathon📖⚔️🦒 :

watching pokemon in Australia early morning and this interrupted my cartoons, 10 years old. I will never unsee those falling on the news that morning.

oksana 📚🐦‍⬛♟️ :

This year fked me up. So SO many stories I never heard before. Footage. Survivors. Heroes. We will never forget.

Ash M :

The dust and flying paper images haunt my dreams yet today.

FuncleChuck :

It doesn’t ever get easier to watch

Austin :

The broken radio chatter and yelling from the firefighters will always give me goosebumps

Wendy 🦚 :

Wait is that the red bandanna guy?!

Sunni Day :

So heartbroken at the heroes and bystanders that wanted to help only to die that day or get sick and die later

AngelaM2015 :

I was climbing stairs in a hotel recently. I had to pause at the third floor and while there, I thought of the firefighters climbing 70+ stories.

BlackVelvet6.2🖤 :

all the pass alarms is so chilling

ChristinaTheeDemo :

My father is a firefighter and thinking about this makes me feel physically ill

kryddle :

Can you imagine watching the identical building next to you collapse while you are trapped, loosing faith of being rescued.

Nicholas Spencer :

I saw a documentary where they said a girl jumped and on her way down she pulled her dress down so it wouldnt blow up. so sad.

Oath of Care :

it is insane how something so huge can be happening, a complete devastation...and yet the people in the middle of it have no idea what is happening

Roro :

I worked at an airport, for American Airlines. I’ll never forget how everyone, passengers and employees, worked together. We were all scared. We were all worried. For ourselves, for each other, for our loved ones. We took stranded passengers into our homes, we put them on busses, we helped in any way we could. SO many planes diverted to our small city, and the airport was eerily quiet for days. All Americans came together, and we were united as a country.

Ken mahalahala :

I was at work as a steelworker, I didn’t think a building like that could collapse like that, from a plane crashing into it. All building codes changed after that day.

Dublena75 :

I remember working in a hotel in Dublin, the Brendan Tours were staying and were all elderly people from New York , myself and a couple of colleagues were sitting on a bed in a vacant room watching this on CNN and witnessed the 2nd plane hit, I will never forget the absolute commotion and cries on the corridor of all our guests, scrambling to call home and crying because many had adult kids working there, probably many more in emergency services, that moment will forever be in my mind, much love to all from Dublin Ireland 💔 🇺🇸 🇮🇪 Never Forgotten 💔 💙
