It was a beautiful, cleary Tuesday morning at 8:46 in the morning. For thousands of Jewish New Yorkers, it began like any other weekday morning. Some had already finished Shakis and the leas of L and were making their way [music] to work. Jewish businessmen, employees and professionals had offices throughout lower Manhattan and inside the World Trade Center [music] complex. People were entering phones, opening their offices, drinking coffee, and beginning another ordinary day. Nobody imagined that within minutes that with ordinary morning will become one of the darkest days in American history. Thank you for all our subscribers, viewers.

At first, nobody really knew what was happening. But at 3009, when the second airplane crashed into the South Tower, [music] it became clear America was under attack. And here begins a part of the story that is especially meaningful [music] to us as Jews. Almost immediately, a member reported over the radio that something terrible was happening at the World Trade Center. That Tula [music] dispatcher understood that this was not a normal call. Ambulances [music] begin being dispatched from different Hatsala neighborhoods together with EM EMTs, paramedics, doctors, and mobile command centers. [music] And one of the first ambulances to arrive at the World Trade Center was a lower east side Hutzella ambulance. By the time the [music] second plane struck, around two dozen Hatsula related ambulances and [music] more than 100 hats EMTs and medics were already in the area parking lot. People were running out of the towers. >> [music] >> threat. >> Hatella, firefighters, police officers, [music] and other first responders. They were running in. Their radios were screaming, ambulances were racing, people lying injured. Anda did not ask is he Jewish. They asked only where is the person who needs help right now. They treated in transport they injured including firefighters and police [music] officers while lower Manhattan was in chaos. But the volunteers even the shift ended. They didn't say I can go home. I can take down my [music] uniform. I can put down my radio. But now they said, "But how do you put [music] down your eyes and your radio in your new uniform while someone needs helping [music] this cre >> [music] >> the smoke, the dust. People were running for their lives and the buildings came down behind them. In those terrifying seconds, many were not thinking about work, money, or anything else. They were thinking about one thing, their families, their children, their parents, the people they loved. You're only dead. People stood in the streets looking up helpless. They saw people trapped by smoke and fire. [music] And some jumping out from the towers because they had no way out. You can see people jumping out and people trapped inside and trying to wave to other people. Some cried, some prayed, some [music] simply stood frozen. Hatsawa and firefighters still did everything they could, [music] giving oxygen, treating the injured, and moving survivors to safety. And for some first responders and atala members, 9/11 did not remain only a memory. Their bodies still carried with them to this very day. The heavy smoke and thick dust from the cabalaps towers entered the lungs of people who worked there for hours and days. Some volunteers and fuses pounders still suffer today from serious breathing and lung problems connected to the exposure at round zero. They ran in that day to save others and for some of them the price of that self sacrifice is still with them 25 years later. For many first responders and volunteers, 911 became more than something they once witnessed. It became a memory that carried with them in their hearts, in their minds, and for some even in every breath. And even today, 25 years later, we can talk about 911, but there are still feelings that words cannot fully explain. There are wounds that time can make easier, but never completely heal. And this is a powerful Jewish message from that day. When the world becomes dark and you must add light, kindness, self-sacrifice, saving lives. Here you can see September 1, 2011, 10 days before their terror attack. You can see both buildings standing still and proud. [music] But what really happened that day? 19 terrorists trained by al-Qaeda hijacked four American airplanes. Two were flown into the twin towers. A third strugg passengers fought back against the terrorist. Nearly 3,000 people were killed. But why? Specifically, the Twin Towers. The World Trade Center towers were a symbol of New York, but even more than that, a symbol of American [music] economic power, success, business, and America's place in the world. Al-Qaeda did not only want to kill people. They wanted to strike a place that entire world [music] recognized. An image that will bring fear into the hearts of millions of people to attack [music] the twin towers meant to them to strike at the heart of American economic power. The Pentagon symbolized American [music] military power and the fourth plan was believed to heading towards another symbol of the American government. Their goal [music] was to make America feel weak, to make America afraid and to send a [music] message to the entire world. Al-Qaeda under Osama bin Laden carried out extremist [music] ideological war against America and the West. The hatred was also connected to America's presence in the Middle East and its support [music] to the state of Israel. And here's a point that we as Jews understand as well. the extremist ideology that spreads hatred towards Jews and the state of Israel also spreads hatred toward America and the freedom that America represents. But 9/11 did not end when the smoke disappeared. Before we continue, don't forget to like and subscribe to the channel. Now, [music] let's go over to the president. Where was George W. Bush when he got the message and how did he hear about it? President Bush was visiting elementary school in Florida, sitting in a classroom with young students. While the children were reading, his chief of staff walked over and quietly whispered in [music] his ear that a second plane had hit the second tower and that America was under attack. Bush stayed seated for a few months. He later explained that he did not want to suddenly stand up and have the children. So you remained calm on this outside even though he now understood that something terrible happening through this country. A >> go on. >> From the day forward, the world changed. Airport security became much stricter. The TSA was created. Cakpidors became more secure. America entered Afghanistan against al-Qaeda and then the Taliban and the entire Iraq known as the war of terror begin. Later came the Iraq war as well. Although Iraq did [music] not carry out the 9/11 attacks and and America did not simply forget about this fight. [music] It continues to fight terrorism and the networks to wish harm upon America and its allies. After years of searching, America also found the mastermind behind 911, Osama Bin Laden, and brought in to justice in 2011. But they did not bring back those who were killed. But the shows that America will not give up those who plan terror cannot hide forever. An entire generation grew up in a world that is different because of that one warning. But perhaps the hardest thing that 911 left behind is not something you can see at an airport. Buildings can be rebuilt, laws can be changed, security can be improved, but a father, a mother, a brother, a child, or a friend who was loss cannot be brought back. An avanteer who held an injury person's hand that day. An ENT who tried to save just one more person. a famous responder who saw things that no human being should ever have to see. For them, September 11 is not simply a date on the calendar. For them, September 11 can still feel like yesterday. And now, 25 [music] years later, there are already young people who were not even alive when the Twin Towers fell. But we must not forget the people who went to work that morning and never came home. The families left behind with an empty place. The firefighters, the police officers, the saliva volunteers, the EMTs and paramedics, the people who ran toward the danger when every instinct told them to run away from it. And perhaps that it's why even after 25 years, the heart can still [music] hear it when we see the images, while we hear the recordings, when we see the ambulances, while we hear the final phone calls. An entire generation still remembers exactly where they were that morning. A day like that does not simply become just past. You learn to live with it. [music] You move forward, but you do not forget. September 11, 2001. 25 years have passed, but the message remains. We will remember those we lost and [music] we will never allow terror and hatred to define who we are. We will never forget. And as we now stand at the doorstep of Russ, we pray to God. May the coming year be a year without terror, without hatred of Jews, a year of peace, a year of safety, a year of unity for the Jewish people, for America, and for good people throughout the entire world. Eastimata, a good, sweet, and [music] blessed year. I hope you enjoyed the documentary and the episode.
