Star Wars 9/11 Chapter 2
Chapter 2: Just another Exhausting Day at Work…..
*flashback*
Leia Solo woke up completely exhausted from all the work she brought home the day before. She'd been working on it all night, calculating tax rates and what not, and had only gotten around 4 hours of sleep altogether. She got up to go take a nice hot shower which woke her up a bit more and soothed her aching joints. She dried off and finished getting herself ready for work that morning. She had thought of calling in sick to get some rest so when she went back to work she would be wide awake and able to focus on the task at hand. She ate a quick bowl of cereal, went back to her bedroom to say goodbye to her husband, Han Solo, gave him a quick kiss, and told him to tell the boys that she said she loves them, and walked out the front door for another seemingly ordinary day. She looked at her wristwatch:
7:45 a.m.
7:45 Mohammed Atta and Abdulaziz Alomari board American Airlines Flight 11 at Boston's Logan Airport. The flight takes off at 7:59, nearly 20 minutes late because of delays. The hijacking of the aircraft takes place between 8:14 and 8:20 a.m. where 2 flight attendants are stabbed, one business class passenger's throat gets slashed. The terrorists now have control of American Airlines Flight 11. At 8:24 a.m. A transmission from Flight 11s hijackers was heard by air traffic control: (Atta)"We have some planes. Just stay quiet and you will be okay. We are returning to the airport. Don't move."
8:30
Leia finally got to her office building, World Trade Center building 1, where she took the elevator up to floor 84, where she settled into her desk for what she thought was going to be a very long day at the office.
Little did she know, 15 minutes later, that would become very true.
8:45
Leia began to get frustrated. "Why do these tax rates have to be so complicated?" With that she went back to work. She took a look at one of the pictures on her desk, of her, her husband, and her two baby boys. She looked at the next one, one of her and her brother during a road trip her brother and her had taken together. Both pictures had one thing in common: everybody was smiling; they looked like they were very happy and joyful. She smiled for a moment while remembering those great memories that would last her forever. Her smile faltered suddenly when she heard a small whistle, what she thought sounded like an airplane's engines whistling. It kept getting louder and louder every second. She opened the blinds of her window just to see a huge passenger jet flying straight at her building. She had just enough time to dive under her desk before the building shook violently with the sound of an exploding airplane.
8:46 a.m.
American Airline Flight 11 slams into the North Twin Tower's north side at 490 mph, ripping a huge gash in the building from the 94th to the 98th floors.

I'd just like to say, all of these facts are true, and at the very end I will have a bibliography to show my sources to the facts used here.
