Universally acknowledged as one of the best halftime shows ever- and it is

[seamus casey crew 2 @spelunky_]

it is truly startling how loud they were. naturally 6 year old me believed that yeah that’s probably like half a plane landing on the ground

For those wondering why this flag, especially back in 2001, the FDNY was basically an Irish organization.

The 9/11 anniversary hit very different this year. Much more emotional, raw. I’m not sure why.

[Kaleb @KalebNFL]

Out of all the clips I’ve seen on this day. This one is the most unsettling.

This looks like horror movie found footage

[Grover “Wild Rover” McCarthy @High_Financ3]

This, I think more than any other video, captures the epoch that it was

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

We remember, too.

25 years ago Today, astronaut Frank Culbertson was on the International Space Station during Expedition 3 and witnessed the 9/11 attacks from space.

This pregame ceremony at Yankee Stadium has me fully in my feelings. My goodness. ❤️ 🇺🇸

If you're wondering where the generational split we have today comes from, it's largely because of 9/11.

There is a sharp dividing line between those of us who heard the news of a first plane hitting the north tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46am and thinking it was a small Cessna that crashed, then heard the news of a second plane hitting the south tower at 9:03am and understanding that we were under attack, then hearing the Pentagon was struck at 9:37am and understanding we were at war, and then watched with total shock as the towers collapsed live on TV.

Those of us who experienced that day and were old enough to understand the symbolism of what had happened also understood that the world would never be the same – and it hasn’t.

Those of us who spent the next week glued to the TV with tears in our eyes watching desperate family members walking like zombies around New York holding up signs of their loved ones searching for any drop of information about the people who had vanished into thin air will never forget the horror of the day that changed the world forever.

Those of you for whom 9/11 is a history lesson that you watch on YouTube will never understand what was truly lost on that day – starting with the innocence of the greatest country in history – which is why so many of you are willing to tear it all down in the hopes of building a failed utopia that every time has been tried has taken down millions of people with it.

That’s why those who see 9/11 through the eyes of its attackers because they experienced it as a TikTok trend after reading Bin Laden’s letter are so willing to give the reins of power to those who sympathize with Bin Laden.

The world is divided between those who experienced the apocalyptic horror of 9/11 and those who were too young to have any sympathy for the victims, so they blame their government instead of the perpetrators who committed mass murder.

Those of us who were there and watched the horror unfold in front of our eyes will never forget what was lost on that day, or the pain of tens of thousands of Americans and nationalities from all over the world.

Those of us who grew up in the 90s felt it was boring at the time. It was full of angst, had no meaning and was considered “the end of history.” If only we knew what a blessed decade it was.

May the memories of all those lost 25 years ago today forever be a blessing.

We will never forget them.

@TheOlChippy You can hear the exact second the world changed. Those two guys watching knew immediately what millions of us were about to learn. Never forget.

[Sean Ross Callaghan @seanrcallaghan]

@TheOlChippy One tower blew up and we weren't sure it was terrorism until the second tower blew up.

They say the 90s ended with 9/11.

More specifically, the 90s ended when the second plane hit the second tower.

[zachariah @airtightangelic]

something that only recently registered to me is just how fast 9/11 happened. from the first plane hitting the towers to both the towers collapsing .. it lasted less than two hours.

that means if you accidentally overslept you would’ve suddenly woken up to a whole new reality

[Nicolini @iLTardoNico]

@25YearsAgoLive That music... Man. That's rough.

[Paul Anthony Hoti @paulhoti2]

@25YearsAgoLive The eeriest audio I’ve ever heard in my life

[Grus Kline @GrussieKline]

@25YearsAgoLive That’s - without a doubt - the most depressing video I’ve seen in my entire life. The music is so eerie. Then the crash of the bodies. Man that’s tough.
