New Zealand Couple React to The Night Osama Bin Laden Was Killed May 1, 2011. (THIS GAVE US CHILLS!)

As a New Yorker and American it meant everything that this man was no longer breathing the same air as the rest of the world.

When the people rallied outside the Whitehouse is even more impressive! Once upon a time we were united.

As a Former Canadian Air Force officer, I was watching this game when this happened, I screamed in sheer joy for America.

In my 52 years I have never seen my country so patriotic than after 9/11. Miss those times for sure.

My dad was killed in 9/11, so I was 11 when this happened and I just remember my mom breaking down in happy tears. It was such a sense of justice for us and a day i'll never forget

Rest in Peace, Lt. Andrew Fredericks FDNY SQ18. He was killed in when the second tower collapsed. He was with another firefighter in a Skylobby when the first tower collapsed. Andy and the other firefighter decided to split up and search different stairwells on the way down. They were trying to save as many lives as they escaped. The other firefighter survived but Andy didn't. During the fall of 2000, Andy was my Instructor for the Engine Company Operations course at the Fort Wayne Fire School. He left behind a wife, daughter and a son.

You guys are reminding me of a time when my country was united. I can't believe how divided we've become since that. Wow. Got me in the feels.

I was driving a humvee over a mountain in Afghanistan when we received the news via bft. We finished the mission we were on and when we got back to base, it was a party. The gate guards, who were normally all business were high fiving teams as they returned to base. You can't imagine how amazing and special that news was to everyone deployed at the time.

Super emotional right now because I miss how this country used to be. We came together quickly and easily, no matter what. Now half the country hates the other. 😢

I was in the Army when we got the news and it’s a day I’ll never forget. We all just hugged each other. Even if you didn’t like someone else in your platoon, all that bitterness went away and we all just showed love.

And here we are 12 years later after this video, it’s 2023 and it seems like no one in the US can get along. How fast we forget what’s really important. It breaks my heart because I love my country. 💔💔😢

As an American, this meant EVERYTHING to us. It was as big as 9/11 itself. It was EVERYTHING.

My dad served from 1994-2016. He was Navy Special Forces (Not a SEAL) but worked close alongside them. He was there the night the compound was raided. I was in 5th grade then, my mother and I had 0 idea of wheee he was like most of the times he was deployed. Looking back on it as a 23 year old I tear up every time I watch these kind of reaction videos knowing my dad had a small piece in part of one of the greatest days in American history in the past 20-30 years.

That tragic day is almost 22 years ago and this news 10 years after, still brings back all of the raw emotion. September 11th will remain a very hurtfull, emotional day for all Americans, forever. We all lost something that day. And to the families and friends who lost someone that day, godspeed and bless you!

That's what has been said about us crazy Americans since world war 1. 'We fight and bicker all the time. But, when we're facing a common enemy, we come together strong.' A lot of pride behind our flag. Life's been pretty hard on me for years. I'm not ashamed to say, that this video made me cry. Never seen it. Thank you guys. You seem to have a beautiful family. Hope you all continue with your videos. 🙏👍

I remember I was in a casino when it was announced. Everyone cheered, everyone was so happy and excited. People were buying strangers drinks and celebrating.

I was part of a police task force from NJ who responded to assist on 9/11 and saw first hand the destruction and death that day. I was proud of the way NY and its people responded, pulling together helping each other, providing food and water to first responders. It seemed the whole country for a time was united and flying flags. But over time it seemed to fade. On this night it came roaring back and was awesome.

I was a young man growing up in an extremely dangerous part of South Central LA when 9/11 happened. That day was one of the only times I've ever seen everyone, no matter what gang they are from of what they have experienced in life, set aside their differences and focus on the the similarity of all being Americans. Aside from all the pain and terror of what happened that day, seeing this country be able to unite like that truly was the most heart warming thing I've ever seen. Yes we are in a tough place as a country right now, but I believe that unity is still inside all of us. God I hope we never have another 9/11 but that unity truly was beautiful.

I still get breathless remembering this. I’m an American. I live in Maine. I cried, relief and tears first. Then anger at what he orchestrated. It was an emotional ride.

This made me cry. The pride I feel about how much the US has overcome since it’s very beginning is just astounding. I think that’s why we are so patriotic. More so than other countries (so I’ve heard).
