@kingjetorl RIP “Uncle Joe.” 🙏✝️🙏
I will #NEVERFORGET our childhood years whenever he was around making sure that we grew up to be strong, tough, confident men. The street smarts we acquired were invaluable and made us who we are today. How lucky we were to grow up in the era that we did.
Today we pause to honor all we lost on 9/11, especially my Uncle, Joseph Amatuccio—Maintenance Manager for the World Trade Department. Forever proud of your service and strength, Uncle Joe. #NeverForget#September11
A true 9/11 survival story, as told by Brian Clark and Stanley Praimnath.
Two strangers, three floors apart in the South Tower.
Told as closely as I could to their own public accounts.
You know how every few years you’ll see footage that you’ve never seen before on 9/11 and wonder how you’ve never seen it before
Well that’s exactly what this is for me
Chris York is on a family vacation and most of his footage is on the rooftop of Liberty Court a few blocks away from the World Trade Center
In it, you see clear footage of the twin towers about a week before the September 11th attacks. Beautiful day, manhattan looks great.
Then there’s a long delay in his camera roll. When it resumes (1 minute mark) the north tower is struck. You can see the earliest first responders at the base of wtc1 - including battalion chief’s Joseph pfiefer
While Chris is filming, the South tower is struck, and he recalled later that he could physical feel the blast and the heat of the explosion.
In my opinion this is rare footage and perspective 500 feet above the streets and 500 feet below the strikes.
Never forget what took place 25 years ago today. Love and respect to those involved, those affected, and our great heroes who saved so many lives. Good bless America and its people.
Hands down the best documentary account of 9/11. Since the invention of the moving image, has there ever been a real-time historical record that approaches this? Moving, shocking, incredible.

Good morning X World. Today's throwback is to September 10, 2001. The day before our world changed forever. These aren't my words. But it's how I feel.
My friends, as you settle down tonight for bed, remember that, on this night…..25 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning tomorrow. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same.
As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.
I'm still pissed and I WILL NEVER forget. 🇺🇸
I have undertaken this project to put a face to 9/11 by posting a photo of everyone killed that day. If after everything that happened you can vote for the ideology that brought it about it's as if you are killing them yourself! Pictured below was 41 year old Joseph Amatuccio who was the manager of operations and maintenance for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and who was not long from obtaining his Master's Degree. He was first in the North Tower that day and upon the South Tower being struck he ran over there despite his wife begging him to leave. He had just gotten some people out of the South Tower before running back in and was killed when it imploded. He left behind his wife, five children and four grandchildren and if you can forget even one of these people it is a blasphemy!
GM. Word of today. Surround yourself with people who will defend your name, protect your character, and stand up for you even in rooms you’re not in. Those are the people worth keeping close. Loyalty speaks the loudest when you’re absent. Enjoy your day! VG😁❤️💯
GM. Prayer Tuesday. Dear God, Protect my mind from negativity,
my heart from fear, and my spirit from discouragement. Let Your presence be felt in every conversation, every decision, and every moment. Amen!🙏🏽 Have a blessed day! VG😄❤️💯
The Democrats sacrificed 2 of their voters so that they could use them as leverage to keep our Borders Open & to Push Amnesty for Illegal Aliens. 2 Deaths do not outweigh THOUSANDS of American Citizens KILLED by Illegal Aliens. #DeportThemAll#ZeroTolerance#MassDeportationsNow
