9/11: George Bush breaks down his very public initial reaction - BBC

It's crazy how trump was so awful, the absolute worst, it made Bush seem extremely great.
If this were trump, guaranteed he'd have secret service run him out of there in a panic straight to a bunker. He ran from peaceful protesters, imagine this?

Imagine doing 9/11 and then having to act like it’s a surprise when your finding out.

Why not mention what the teacher was saying and the students repeated it ?
It's kinda weird

he dont panic he kept reading while thousand of ppl were dying WTF
go and help them and stop reading kid books DUDE WTF
u guys like wow what nice president ?!?!?!
He knew it !!!!

He’s a good man

This is one of the eeriest and most poignant moments from that day. And you see in Bush’s face his shock not just as a president, but as a citizen - a human being just taking it all in.

I want justice to fall on Bush. George W Bush is guilty. I know he and his family and the SWAMP of DC rats did 9/11.

I knew it then and I know it now

J U S T I C E

Well thats the guy who did it

GWB has really aged

never forget: Saudi Arabia attacked us on 9/11

Hearing "America is under attack" has to be surreal especially as president

Imagine how potatus biden would perform under this pressure

Oddly 20 years later we still lost a fck ton more youth and still didn’t win the war sad 😢

I wonder what part of hell that Administration is going to be in how many pitchforks shoved up their buttholes is money so important to damn your soul to the fiery pits of hell for eternity?

You and your family are guilty of taking those buildings down.

He was harshly criticized, including by Michael Moore, for not leaving right away. It makes no sense. He wanted to show a calm presence.

Not a surprise when you already knew!

I mean Bush was behind the attacks

He handled it well...we can all say that.

Anyone who thinks Bush and or America did these attacks to start a false war in Iraq needs their head examined because you are mentally ill if you think that. Of all the conspiracy theories this one is believed by a bunch of fools who aren't smart enough to figure out that Bush had nothing to do with it. Geez you people are really making Americans look like a nation full of dummies I'm glad I don't need to see any of you people in real life though I'm sure most of you will be in the looney bin at some point in your life if you believe that garbage.

Sad how far the quality of our Presidents fell after Bush.

He couldn't had been in a more Awkward and inappropriate environment for this to happen at this time

🤮The whole world knows it was an inside job🤮😉

Never trust presidents or politicians in general.

The US constantly interferes in other country wars or problems. Then they act shocked when these countries are striking back. The US killed a lot of innocent people before and after 9/11.

11. September was terrible, but you can thank your presidents and politicians for that.

I remember making fun of bush being a bad president and such. Now that I know trump, I see so many things very differently.

Wasn't it because what he did in Iraq that in his tenure itself, he had to wotness wrath of the enemies he created?

Todo esto es un drama, incluso si se hubiera actuado "dramáticamente" de todas formas constituía un drama. Independientemente de si fue un buen presidente o no, Bush lo sabía, Putin lo sabía, me pregunto quién en las esferas de la alta política no lo sabía.

What went on in his mind at that point, wow. Very big big burden

It would be too horrible to think that our government had anything to do with 9/11. I know there is corruption at every level but this is just too horrendous to think about. It's not like there is anything that the normal citizen could do anyway. We just have to believe that they were just as shocked as everyone else.

I was 17 and at my first job early in the morning on the west coast. The news slowly started coming in and we started to realize it wasn't accidents but an attack. We were told to go home. So I went home and froze on my couch the rest of the day unable to stop watching. Such a surreal moment. I never thought much of Bush as a president but his demeanor and how he responded in that situation took a lot of strength.

Bush did 9/11

That was the best day of my life I got married

That mf sent my brother to Iraq that didn’t involve in 911 he almost lost his life so Fu bush I miss that day

He was in front of CHILDREN and had to keep it together. Like "ph nothing to panic!" I can't imagine how scared he was. I didn't agree with a lot of his poltiics and things that he did but he was a class act during this (minus the war)

All while the book he is reading to elementary kids is upside down 😂

I can't imagine the heights of dreadful flabbergasted emotions that circled around the adults there. They received such heinous news in the middle of being stared at by the innocent eyes of children.

Kite Hit Steel Plane Must. We all know how sick and evil our government really is. And this clown pretending to be a Christian is just pathetic.

To the whole video

Fun fact it was bush who had the u.s military to train those terrorists on how to fly planes/jets that's why hearing the news didn't unfaze him because he planned all of it.

you're all off yo ur heads. If he had said to them that he had to pop out for a second to attend presidential business, how would that panic the kids? XD

What was he supposed to do, I think it was admirable of him to sit with those kids and not rush off. After all, how many kids have an audience with the president of the United States. I always felt people underestimated George W, he was always respectful to the media no matter how difficult it was for him. It was an absolutely horrendous and horrific day in American history.

Please help me understand one issue the third plane ✈️ crashed in a field where is the news footage of these bodies being buried,, what happened to them ? Asking from Ireland 🟩⬜️🟧

I love this country and it breaks my heart how it has dallen apart.
I came when i wa slittle but since i was a kid i was amazed with us history, i wa amazed from 8th grade till 12 th and ended up taking 4 years of AP history.

What a great president i love him and im an immigrant.
Im ashamed of the new immigrants from venezuela shame to them

It's absolute that he knew and allowed it to happen. He wanted all that oil.

I will always remember my cousins words (British Army) as the realisation set in, he just very calmly spoke whilst staring at the screen, "someone just attacked our friends. This will not do."
So calm, so stoic, he didn't even budge, he spoke for us all. An attack on America is an attack on Britain to many of us 🇬🇧🇺🇲

That still did not justify the Iraq War with the "weapons of mass destruction" that never were found because they did not exist. If Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, America would not have went there in the first place. A Million dead Iraqis, the entire region destabilized.

Well he knew it was going to happen….

Of course he seemed calm, he orchestrated it
