Twin towers
It was a normal sun-lit day, the colourful birds chirping in the blue sky. I got dressed and kissed my wife goodbye and left for work. As I was walking to work, I stopped at my favourite coffee shop and brought a piping hot coffee then carried on my way to work. It was a sunny day, the road was quite. Oh I wished I had woke up early to wave goodbye to my son as he went to school as, times running out, he will 15 on the weekend.
By the time I was near work, New York had woken up and entered the streets. The diving between the people was mayhem. I finally I got to work, at the twin towers, walking up the stairs to the 94th floor. To get todays assignments; Bumping into my boss on the way up. It wasn’t until I had just sat down I had caught something in the corner of my eye but the moment I looked at the object it was too late, a huge, snow white plane has heading straight for the tower. I ran raising all alarms for the soon impact but they already knew. About half of the workers on 94th floor had got to safety before it hit straight through the 86th floor, setting alight everything in its path.
All you could see was evil reds of the murderous fires. At this point my life stopped, my work was no more and I was trapped in a burning building about to die, then I heard a scream coming from the window. New York rush hour had stopped dead. I tried to get someone’s attention. However they see a white flag waving, undermined from the red sea across the building. The screams from the worker on fire or trapped filled the streets.
If there is a god why doesn’t he help me? I have been a good person and I have a life in front of me. By the looks of it god is punishing me for something but for what! He alarms have stopped ringing so this means everyone able to leave the building is out and safe, I just hope they can help us too. Wait! But there is another plane coming but its heading to the second twin tower.
Please god show me a way to live this horrible nightmare. What’s

    The fiery hole in the North tower at 8:45 a.m. was between the 93rd and 99th floors. The impact alone killed hundreds of people and trapped many more in the floors above the impact. People trapped by the damage and flames leaped off the side of the building to their deaths, desperate to escape (Weinberg). Evacuation began immediately, but eighteen minutes later, another Boeing 747, this one an United Airlines flight, sliced right through the south tower between the 77th and 85th floors (9/11 Attacks). This crash caused a huge explosion, fueled by the planes’ full gasoline tanks.…

    The fourth plane was said to be heading for the White House or the U.S. Capitol. However, heroic passengers had stopped the hijackers and crash-landed the plane in an empty field in Pennsylvania. If it weren’t for those courageous passengers who decided to do something, things would have gone much worse. At approximately 5:20 pm, World Trade Center Building 7 had collapsed due to the heavy debris that had hit the building. The other four buildings were damaged. George W. Bush had stated after the attacks that, “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America.” He was right. After the attacks, Americans were closer than they had ever been. People helped strangers on the street and everybody felt the emptiness in their heart because of all the losses on one day. The attacks were financed by Osama bin Laden who attacked in retaliation of the United States support of Israel. Some of the terrorist involved had been in the country for more than a year and others slipped in before 9/11. They had taken flying lessons and chose those specific planes because they help great amounts of…

    On September 11, 2001, the world changed. It was said to be a beautiful day, almost perfect. Then in an instant, a plane smashed into one of the Twin Towers. The building instantly lit on fire and the whole city went into a panic. There was debris falling everywhere, and even six blocks away from the building, you could see dozens of papers raining down from the sky like ashes from a fire. Police officers and firefighters were constantly rushing in and out of the building, salvaging every single life they could. Most thought it was a freak accident, but some say they knew from the beginning. It seemed so tragic that nobody could imagine a person who would do something so horrible intentionally. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the second tower was hit.…

    On September 11, 2001 the unthinkable happened. It all started as an ordinary day, but soon matters took a turn for the worse. At the World Trade Center in New York City hijacked planes stroke into the two twin towers. In shock, no one at the scene had any idea on how to react or more importantly, how to help others stranded in the smoke filled buildings. That day strangers helped strangers escape the wrath of the spreading fire and smoke. However, the top half of the buildings were different. There was a giant crater in the sides of the buildings that merely separated the two halfs. Sadly, people on the top had little to no surviving. Since, their only choice was to stay in the smoke filled rooms some people jumped out of a possible 110…

    Everyone whom I’ve come across since this tragic day has a story to tell, a vivid memory of their exact accounts of that day. For me, when the first plane struck the tower, I shrugged it off as a clip from an upcoming action movie. There was no way an attack in such manner can happen to our country. At the time I was a college freshman, just the fifth day in of me being an “adult”. Upon my arrival on campus, the mood was very somber, another event I did not give too much thought to. Several minutes later, what usually is an early morning class struggling to stay awake and pay attention to the material that was being presented to us, was now a classroom filled with shock, tears and screams. “We are under attack” are the four words that flashed across almost all new stations for what seemed like weeks. The once girl who was excited about embarking on a new journey in adulthood was welcomed with fear, fear that I still live with today, not knowing when and how that next attack would happen.…

    I woke awoke that bright sunny day to the sound of birds chirping and the sun shining upon my face. It was a peaceful morning, and I relaxed in bed for a couple of minutes and looked forward to my day. I wondered what I would do throughout the day, and like a typical teen during summer break I decided to go out to the mall, grab ice cream, and dip in the pool later that night. Unfortunately my mother informed me that I had to go job hunting.…

    I found my suitcase and laid it on my bed. I then went to my dresser that housed my clothes, and opened it to pick up most of the volume of the drawer and awkwardly walk over to my suitcase and I then dumped it all in. Besides the daily necessities, I got my phone charger, my Dolce&Gabbana cologne that I loved, and my Apple MacBook. A little bit of time passed and I was finally ready to leave. When I hopped into my family's SUV, my dad finally told us where we were going, New York City. I had heard so many bad things about that city, the crime; assault, murder, and drug trafficking, and then I thought to myself about the possibility of a second Sept. 11th…I just got goosebumps. Ever since the act of terrorism I had been afraid of that city. To be perfectly honest, I was for once in my life afraid. Some time passed and we were finally at the airport in Georgia. “Flight 4709, now boarding. The flight will be leaving the airport approximately in 25 minutes.” My anxiety was literately killing…
