Sept.11,2001
"This is a difficult moment for America… Today we have had a national tragedy, an apparent terrorist attack on our country," Mr. Bush said. "I have ordered that the full resources of the federal government go to help the victims and their families and to conduct a full-scale investigation to hunt down and to find those folks who committed this act. Terrorism against our nation will not stand."
There was no immediate word on the extent of casualties, but the plane, apparently a deliberately diverted scheduled flight, sliced into the building during morning working hours, when the offices and corridors would be bustling with people.
Some of the center's 50,000 workers were seen leaping from windows to certain death, including a man and a woman holding hands. Some jumped from as high as the 80th floor as the planes exploded into fireballs. People on the ground screamed and dived for cover as debris from the 1,250-foot towers rained down. Dazed office workers covered in gray ash wandered around like ghosts, weeping, trying to make sense of what happened. .... the above words were copied from the CBS website, the same day that this tragedy occurred...
Those that watched the unfolding horror, would soon bare witness to the unfolding horror as both twin towers ,crumbled and where engulfed in flames...I sat and watched the unholy advent with my mate,as innocent people hung from the side of the tower..A cold wave washed over me.. chilling me sending the unbelievable home..in that instance ..I connected and understood the horror my grandmother must have felt, as a girl ,when hereing of the Bombing of Pearl Harbor.. To night a Nation morn's. Some in churches with heads bowed in prayer... Others calling for war against a unseen enemy... The one main thing that ALL Americans share this day and night to come Is the outrage,sorrow,and pain..Not because we are impenetrable....but because of the innocent life's Lost....
The USA has basically shut down...from baseball games to colleges and government senate meetings... "Beware least you wake the sleeping Giant" I know that sometime in the past, World War II, I think, someone famous said similar
