Rare video of the collapse of The World Trade Center North Tower and the rescue of New Yorkers from lower Manhattan on September 11th, 2001.

President Barack Obama said that while al-Qaeda will “keep trying to hit us again” the U.S. is better prepared for a terrorist attack ten years after the Sept. 11 anniversary than ever before.

“Ten years ago, ordinary Americans showed us the true meaning of courage when they rushed up those stairwells, into those flames, into that cockpit,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. “In the decade since, a new generation has stepped forward to serve and keep us safe.”

The president said the U.S. will “remain vigilant” and “no matter what comes our way, as a resilient nation, we will carry on.”

Video from 9/11 - Escape from office in World Trade Center South Tower. From inside the World Trade Center to 195 Broadway to New Jersey Riverfront. The video was actually from a tiny camera attached to a Casio Pocket PC (with somewhat limited memory) from the uploader's colleague. That is all the footage he had. Filmed by Peter on his Casio Pocket PC. In Memory of Randy.

Total chaos... RIP to all those who passed away. Including sme 300+ Firemen that gave their lives to help others.

The grass is TOO DAMN HIGH! I don't think cursing at the lawnmower will make it stop stalling. But hey, it's worth a shot. Wow, dude's neighbor is a creeper-troll.

Neighbor was mowing his lawn when the lawnmower began to stall every 2 minutes... which was always followed by some yelling and cursing. I heard it from the window above and decided to record the action. Excuse the shaky camera work... I was trying to keep the camera hidden in case he looked up... via 

This is the ORIGINAL post of this video. It has appeared around the web with different titles and descriptions:

Newly-released video, in time for the 10-year anniversary, shows smoke rising minutes after United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001.

On CNN Sunday night, anchor Susan Hendricks introduced a piece of video from a now-deceased witness who videotaped the aftermath of heroic Flight 93 from about 15 miles away. His family has apparently just made the video available now.

The short clip features the anonymous videographer’s narration of the events that occurred before he turned on his camera. According to Hendricks, the tape is believed to be the first to show the immediate aftermath of the United Airlines Flight 93 crash, the fourth plane to go down on 9/11 after passengers fought back against the hijackers, preventing them from crashing it into their likely targets, the US Capitol or the White House.

I bet that was a pretty unnerving experience for this guy. To see the attack on the World Trade Center on TV, hear about the attack on the Pentagon, and to see something similar just ouside his own back yard... a very sad day.

Dammit boy, it's like looking at the Sun, you gotta look at it quickly and then look away or you'll get burned. Can't blame the kid, men (and boys) are hardwired that way.

Mosque security video shows suicide bomber top left exploding, and the target circled red lower in screen fall over, although 29 others were killed. The second part of the clip shows amateur footage of the blood soaked area adjacent to the bomber.

This is Um AlQura Mosque in Baghdad. The likely target Sheikh Ahmed Abdul Gafur al-Samarraie survived, he is head of Sunni Endowment which stands against extremist factions in Iraq. Among the dead was Al-Fahdawi, a Sunni parliamentarian, also against extremism, who was previously targeted twice by AlQaeda in 2004 and 2005.

Suicide bombings did not occur in Iraq before the US invasion, and AlQaeda was unknown in Iraq before, and no weapons of mass destruction existed. Presumably Saddam Hussein would have fallen to the current Arab Uprisings had Iraq been left to its own course, and without foreign intervention would probably not have become a breeding ground for AlQaeda, and also would not have cost thousands of servicemen their lives and cost billions of tax dollars. via LiveLeak
