Debris is a 25 minute film made in collaboration with the National September 11th Memorial and Museum. This documentary tells the story of September 11th, 2001 using bystander footage, source audio and newly composed music. Some of what you’ll see may seem familiar – but certain events in Debris have rarely been viewed by the public. I’ve spent the last handful of years finding what I believe to be some of the most important footage of that day in order to preserve the memory of this day for future generations.
Youtube has decided to restrict this film because of the nature of the subject material. This is interesting since hundreds of million of people saw the attacks live on television 21 years ago. Please be assured that my team and I took great care in omitting far more intense moments of the attacks that could have been perceived as exploitative, shocking or salacious.
Most of what you’ll see and hear in this film is recovered film and audio from the day of the attacks in lower Manhattan, Washington DC and Shanksville, PA. This documentary is not designed to shock, re-traumatize or entertain. It is simply an audible record of the day – a time capsule to hold history in place for coming generations.

The 9/11 attacks killed 2,977 people – the single largest loss of life resulting from a foreign attack on American soil. Among the dead were 441 first responders, which remains the greatest loss of life for emergency responders on a single day in American history.
Since 9/11, more than 4,300 first responders have died from respiratory illnesses and cancers as a result of exposure to toxins at Ground Zero during the cleanup – nearly double the amount killed the day of the attacks.
In memory of American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 77 and United Airlines Flight 93.

POV people in gta doing this right after this happend💀 rip tho rip
Does anybody know if the guy that was following that started at 0:44 was CGI or real life because I’ve never seen it before
YouTube says this has been marked inappropriate &/or offensive.
It is because of what happened & it's history!!! It was life & it sucked! People need to stop reporting things wrongfully!
i cant believe when i saw those people jump of the building. Making a decision that hard between life and death is a decision no one should ever have to make. I hope every one that lost their lives that day rest in peace…
Watching that guy attempt to climb down the building but lose his grip is something i’ll never forget. Thinking about the potential kids and wife he could of had and all the things that he wanted to live for is Heart shattering.
The music to everything absolutely amazing and truly shows how evil this was amazing job
Absolutely horrific
I couldn't imagine being in the buildings next to that and just going crazy watching that happen. Thinking you might be next . this is so insane
This was an impactful and resonate piece that touched me. Thank you for making this video and providing so much time with just the music and no talking. It made space for my brain to truly contemplate my feelings as I watched everything in abject horror and intense sadness.
I was there then I saw it and it came down so I didn't have any places to hide so I jump in trash bin in nyc Rest in peace the flight driver
This is the first time I’m seeing footage of the people who decided to jump. It was heartbreaking.
As long as there is isIam in this world…….. No country will ever sustain peace and a t ! @ c k like these will always happen……! If you don’t wanna believe it and wanna run from reality then it’s your choice 🤷🏼 but the truth is truth…….! Maybe not today but surely in near future people will gonna accept this truth and will gonna act on it……..!
I was a month old when this happened, I can’t believe growing up how I could joke about it and share memes circa 2013, but maturing now and realizing what everyone lost. It’s a different feeling watching that second plane hit. Gave me an epiphany
my dad was there when it happend he was in the building then left for a break to get a donut and yeah donuts save ur life
I didn’t know 4 planes went down. I only know about the trade center and the pentagon
The thing that gets me the most. Whether this was planned or not… the human lives lost. And the fact that mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters were met with the excruciating pain and truth that, loved ones had to make a genuine decision to jump from the building.
They had to process and come to terms with “this is it. This is where my life stops.”
10:15 Why was the cameraman so committed to recording 🗿
Povos caindo do prédio 😢
I was 12 when I learned you needed to at least pretend a rescue doggo found a live person every so often or they got too depressed to keep looking.
This was remarkably edited and arranged.
I'm glad I got to visit the memorial. I was a young teen in Australia watching this happen live on the CRT in our living room. This is just overwhelming to watch again.
I was 31 in Australia when this happened. My mum was flying up for my son's first birthday and they were all discussing it on the plane.
I hope youtube will not delete this.
This is real footage
