Thank you for sharing your story! It is always interesting to hear different perspectives from these events.
Regarding your VCR tapes. I understand it may be difficult for you to watch, but I encourage you to get them digitalized soon, while you still can. Perhaps even upload them in full length online somewhere for other people to look at.

If what is recorded is a news channel, the Web Archive already has the major news channel's coverage of 9/11 available for free: https://archive.org/details/911/day/20010911

Thank you for this! Really interesting. I'm having a look at it now.
Although my initial thought was that it would be great if there was a way to watch the entire day (for one news station) in one clip, rather than have to click on multiple 30 seconds videos.
We got home late from the airport and everybody slept in on the 11th except me. I was messing around in the garage when my wife hollers at me to come look at the tv. At first we couldn't figure out if it was real, then it sunk in. I called a co-worker who was on shift, he said everyone was in shock.
I started feeding tapes into my VCR, about eight of them. I've never watched them.
