September 11, 2001 was a horrific day for all of America. It was horrific for all of us because not only was the Pentagon, The twin towers and pennsylvania was being attacked, all of America and what we stand for.
I was only 2 months old on September 11,2001 but even everyone in my generation and the generations coming know the horrifying details of 9/11. 3,000 people. Over 3,000 people we're victims that day. That includes The Twin Towers, The Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. Some people in those buildings we're kids. THey we're military, Fathers, Sons , Daughters , Mothers , Wives etc.
So many images and glimps videos and calls happened that day, but not until today i found out how bad it really was. It was terrifying. Some people knew as The building started to collapse they would die. Some even broke windows and threw themselves out. It is truly horrific to every know so much evil hate and envy could cause something like this. The messages these people left there families are heart break, they are devastating. i know if i was in anyone of there shoes i wouldn't be able to get a single word out.
Some people in these building havent even started there life yet. Some even pregnant and their kids never even getting to meet there mother. Peoples last words "oh god!!", "please help me" and "I'm to young to die!!"
343 firefighters were killed and and 57 police killed trying to get people out. These people but themselves in a doomed situation some just to comfort the people who had no hope because they knew the truth and the truth was they'd never make it out of that building.
Its hard to believe that only 19 men caused all this complete chaos and destruction. 19 Islamic men that were part of the terrorist group al-Qaeda. The most famous was the leader of them all and a name that every single american and more have heard of.... Osama bin Laden.
the hardest part about his assignment was having to read and hear some of these peoples last words. From "remember ill always love you" to " OH MY GOD OH GOD OH GOD". It is truly heart breaking. For example. Brad Fetchet, Floor 89
The stock trader, 24, was in the South Tower as the first plane hit.
Minutes before his own building was struck he called dad Frank, girlfriend Brooke and left this message for his mother Mary:
“Hey Mom. I’m sure you’ve heard a plane crashed into World Trade Center One. I’m obviously alive and well but obviously pretty scared.
Saw a guy fall out of probably the 91st storey all the way down. You’re welcome to give a call. Love you.” Its sad to think that some of these people didnt even answer the phone and i wonder what they thought and how they felt when they heard the message and saw the news.
Another example is, Brian Nunez, Floor 104
Brian, 29, was struggling to breathe when he tried to ring brother Neal twice.
But Neal had just got home from a nightshift and was trying to sleep.
Office manager Brian’s message said: “A plane crashed into the Trade Center. It’s on fire, and I’m in it, and I can’t breathe. Tell everyone I love them, and if I don’t get out... goodbye.”
For the past eight years Neal has wondered how their chat might have gone.
Kevin Cosgrove
Dad-of-three Kevin, 45, was one of the few people still on the line to emergency services as the South Tower collapsed.
The Aon Corporation vice president’s frantic call ended abruptly with screams and the sound of debris falling on him.
KC: There’s smoke really bad.
911: Sit tight and we’ll get to you as soon as we can.
KC: I know you’ve got a lot in the building but we’re up on the top. Smoke rises too. Come on, I can barely breathe now – can’t see. It’s really bad, it’s black, it’s arid. We’re young men, not ready to die.
911: Hello?
KC: Hello... there’s three of us, two broken windows... Oh God! Oh...
(Rushing sound of collapsing building).
For the people who weren't there or weren't even born yet. When you here those words. Those final words of someone who is completely terrified it's honestly jaw dropping and tearjerking. My heart goes out to the people and family of 9/11.
