Ils ont perdu leur parent en novembre 2011 – Here’s their message for Paris
« I know what it’s like to have my father killed on national television. »
Grown-up children of 9/11 victims send messages of hope to the people of Paris in heart-wrenching video
- In the clip, four people talk about losing their fathers in the World Trade Center attacks in 2001
- Juliette Candela, 21, Francesca Picerno, 23, Terrease Aiken, 22, and Joseph Palombo, 26, were all kids at the time of the tragedy
- They tell the loved ones of those who were killed in Paris on November 13 not to stop living their lives
- They also discuss what it’s like to lose a parent in such a public way, particularly when they were murdered
The children of those who died in the September 11 terrorist attacks have a unique perspective on the recent attacks in Paris, and now a few of them have shared some kind and understanding words with the citizens of the City of Light.
In a video by Vox, four children of 9/11 victims have recorded a message for the people of Paris, explaining how they’ve moved on after their own painful losses and offering words of encouragement.
Each of the speakers was quite young at the time of the attack. Now adults, they’ve had fourteen years to come to terms with what happened to their fathers – and they all urge those who saw a loved one die on November 13 not to stop living their own lives.
