11th of September 2001
Morning
New York City
On a warm Autumn's morning, Cody got ready for his daily job of selling fruit. Soon, the streets would be crowed as he, as usual would sell his daily fresh fruit to the people who would buy them. As usual he would have to fend of stealers that would nick his fruit. It was going to be a normal day, a day like yesterday…not.
***
It was a normal day for Davis as he got to work in his normal routine in the World Trade Center Building 1. Straightening his tie, he walked into the lift in an orderly fashion, smiling and saying hello to everyone around him.
His briefcase was pretty light, but even if it was, he stumbled his way to his office on the 37th floor.
Slouching in his chair, his secretary came in.
She was a little tall, with purple hair and glasses, carrying Davis's daily request of coffee.
"Hello Yolei!" He smiled at her.
Yolei didn't smile back, she felt something strange about today.
"Whats wrong with you?" He asked her.
"Don't worry." She smiled at him. "Here," She handed the coffee to him.
"Weren't you meant to pick up a package from Ken's?" She asked him.
Ken, her fiancée, his best friend.
"Ken?" Davis looked thoughtful before clicking his fingers. "Oh yeah, I forgot!" Davis really didn't know what Yolei was talking about, or if she was kidding around, but she had such a stern look on her face that Davis couldn't refuse.
"But we would get into trouble…" Davis complained. "We have to work…"
"Trouble? Work? I sense more trouble than you ever know!" Yolei screamed as suddenly hey heard a HUGE BANG from the top half of their building.
"What was that!?" Davis asked, a little scared.
Yolei was totally blue, and panic stricken. "Davis," She stuttered.
"Lets get outta here!" Davis cried, and the two didn't wait any longer as Davis grabbed Yolei's hand as they ran through the building. They heard explosions on their way to the elevator, and the people around them were even crying or shell shocked. Some didn't even know what was going on, but Yolei knew what was happening.
Then, a man who managed to get to the 37th floor gasped at them.
"Run…run for your lives…run!!!" He collapsed onto the floor.
"What has happened? Tell us!" Davis cried, as a silent fury swept through him. "TELL US!!!"
Yolei calmed him down. "Lets do what the man says, Davis…lets run, run for our lives!!!" She screamed, grabbed his arm as they headed towards the elevator.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author's Note: There was no chance of survival if you were one of those passengers on those planes… no chance…not even a slim one… Boeing's 757 and Boeing 767. Some managed to make phone calls to their loved ones before their deaths…chilling evidence of armed men forcing the whole crew and passengers to the back part of the airline……
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
T.K and Kari watched in total horror as they saw a Boeing plane hit right into the World Trade Center Building 2.
Kari was shocked. "T.K! Don't Davis and Yolei work in the World Trade Center ?"
T.K nodded his head. "Let us wish them well that they can get out safely.
For us, we better get out of here!" T.K was prepared to run, but Kari refused.
"No, lets help those people," She stamped.
"Kari, they can take care of themselves!!!" T.K argued. He didn't want to die like this!
"No!"
"Kari, let me explain, how are we meant to help them? The building will collapse soon, and there would be debris everywhere, like a volcano eruption. And like a volcanic eruption, the debris would spread far… and if your in the heart of it, you would choke…"
"T.K, SHUT UP!" She yelled at him. "You can't estimate how many people there are trapped in there! How would you feel if you were trapped in there yourself T.K? Have you ever thought of that? Or were you just thinking about yourself? I for one am gonna help those people, even if it takes my own life!!! I rather die, knowing I have done the right thing, and not being a coward, running away from people who are in despair of help!!! It's hope T.K, and you should know that better than anyone else!" She ran towards the World Trade Center leaving T.K with a burden in his heart. Kari was right…
"Kari!" He yelled, changing his mind, and dashed after her.
***
Cody stared at the tower. It was burning with intense flames halfway in the building. A plane had flown in such low altitude right towards a World Trade Centre. He was frozen with shock. The next thing that came to mind was 'run Cody…RUN!!'
At first he didn't listen to his conscience, but stood frozen, unable to move with what he had just witnessed. When he finally became mobile again, escaping into reality, he left his fruit selling trailer as he watched the first building of the World Trade Center building fall, crumple…destroyed.
Then the next thing he knew, was that he was surrounded by flying debris, hitting him and the wind howling in his ear, people who surrounded him started to push, running for their very lives. Cody tried to be one of these too, but he was too afraid, unable to believe that it was really happening…unable to …breathe……Cody fell…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author's Note: The Twin Towers were a symbol of American Posterity…a symbol of America's Financial Might…obliterated totally……
A day that was certain to be put on one's map…
Some in those towers realized rescue was impossible…no escape…some even plunged down to end their very lives…
South Tower…1st to fall, North Tower closely followed. A massive cloud of dust covered the once bustling, robust city…leaving it in eerie silence…
For all I know, those two 110 storey towers ended today, and all that is left is rubble.
The once highly organized papers lie on the ground today, some under ash, all of them…no more.
One must imagine if they had ever experienced terror such as this.
The Pentagon was a symbol of America's Military Power…
Some parts of it was destroyed…and many dead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The people on the 37th floor saw fire as they pressed the elevator button desperately.
The elevator door opened, but inside were already heaps of people from the higher floors. Each elevator was full, but some still tried to squeeze in.
One among them was Davis, pushing his way into the havoc, when Yolei pulled him out just before the doors shut.
"What did you do that for! I am trying to save my life here!!!" He spat at her, looking around and seeing 2 people behind her.
"Davis, you fool! When a fire is going on, one doesn't take the elevator! We take the stairs!" She answered back, pushing him towards the stair door.
Davis and Yolei breathed deeply along with 2 other workers who had escaped from the 37th floor. They had seen fire, and when they had, Davis had kicked open the door to the stairs and they dashed down, down the stairs. Darkness, ash and debris surrounded them as they descended quickly. Each had a strange pain in their heart as they continued to run down the stairs. Their ears blocked out all hearing, if not, they could hear the screams of pain and the fire billowing above of them.
Now past the 16th floor, one of the workers collapsed.
"Pick him up!" Yolei ordered as Davis and the other worker called Todd hauled the unconscious worker named Leigh onto their backs before descending more down the stairs.
When they got to Ground Floor, Yolei realized the door was shut.
"We can't get out!!" Todd panicked.
"We are going to try!" Yolei grumbled and kicked the door with her high heels.
The 3 faces were relieved when the door swung abruptly open.
The 3 didn't waste any more time either as they dashed to the main door.
"Kari!" Yolei had spotted her friend with T.K standing behind her help a collapsed man get up and watched him run for his life.
"Yolei!" Kari yelled, grateful to see that they were okay.
"Has the elevator came down, door opened?" Todd asked them.
"No…is there anyone on the elevator?" Kari asked concerned.
Davis looked at them sadly. His was glad Yolei had gotten him out when she did.
They then heard another huge and loud explosion as they hurried out of the main doors and into the streets that was now dark and totally covered in dust.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!" They heard people cry out, people crying of sorrow, and people dying because of the ash they had breathed in.
And run, they did. They ran, as fast as their legs could carry, Yolei tripping over a dead guy, Kari almost spewing up, Todd almost collapsing, but T.K and Davis ran forward strong carrying Leigh.
(What else can you expect from people with the crest of hope and courage?)
They headed forward, not knowing what would happen next, not knowing if they could survive, or will the horror ever end…but they knew, that this was only the beginning on this day of tragic terror……
***
Ken, wearing a face mask, on the other side of the buildings hurried towards the Trade Center. He was equipped with a video camera, ready to capture every scene of despair.
He covered his mouth as he emerged into the darkness of the city and couldn't believe what was happening.
His video camera was non-stop recording everything he saw...which was darkness.
'Would this horror ever end?' he thought and tripped face first into a massive stack of debris.
Pulling his face out quickly, he heard people scream in terror, and knew he was getting closer. His camera was on his shoulder now as he dived into the heart of the tragic scene, and couldn't believe what he saw.
The first tower came down, the second tower of the World Trade center came down, right in front of his very eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author's Note: A question cries out in my mind. Why would one go and attack the most powerful country on Earth?
In financial and economic ways, America stands above them all.
Terrorism (or is it?) such as this has never been written in any history book.
Attacking America is like travelling on a suicidal path, never to stop until it ends…
Life is a gift…not to be misused.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the group got to a safer and higher ground, their next challenge was to get Leigh to become conscious again.
"Wake up!" Yolei grumbled, shaking the man.
"Yolei! Be a little more gentle!" Kari muttered, stepping over to the man and lightly slapping his cheek.
"How old is he, who is he?" Davis asked Todd.
Todd glanced at him. "You want to know our story?" He asked him.
T.K nodded along with the others.
Todd sighed sadly before beginning. "But please, don't interrupt."
The group agreed.
Todd started his story. "Me and Leigh are the lucky ones. We work on the 51st building on that tower, and saw the plane crash into one of the higher floors above us. It was a terrible sight, for Leigh was the first one to spot it. He told me that he saw a plane, possibly a Boeing 767 flying incredibly low to the ground. I didn't believe him until I looked.
What I then saw was a plane, heading right towards …us…" Todd started weeping. It was a rare sight to see a man cry, but the group kept silent. Todd continued.
"It was a deafening sound, and a deafening collision. I was scared for everything, my life, everything, as suddenly the day turned into night around our floor. We were suddenly all covered in dust, and papers flew around us. Me and Leigh, knowing safety rules we had to do in a fire, started crawling on our knees towards the stairs. We knew not to use the lift when there is a fire.
At first we didn't know what to do after, as we heard those screams from the people above us and the papers flew into our face as we started to descend down the stairs.
We stopped at the first clean floor, and with desperation, burst into the floor, seeing the elevator and Davis trying to get in and knowing that this could be our last moments ever, I almost gave up. But Yolei, she told me not too, and we would take the stairs down. She grabbed Davis from the lift and we escaped to the ground floor, seeing you guys." Todd noted to T.K and Kari.
"Wow, what a story." Davis clapped his hands as the others glared at him.
Yolei and Kari were crying. And they thought they had things bad. "You mean, all those people on those elevators perished?" She demanded at them.
Yolei nodded sadly.
"Leigh is probably unconscious due to the dust." T.K checked Leigh's pulse.
Yolei suddenly came to a realization. "What about Ken?!" She gasped. "Is he alright?" She demanded. "Well is he?!"
The silence on her friend's faces weren't very comforting.
"Yolei," Kari answered sadly. "We aren't sure. We didn't see him while running away, ne?"
"No," Yolei grumbled. "We didn't see anyone. We were to busy running for our lives! What if he's…… DEAD!!!" She couldn't believe she brang herself to day the dreaded word.
Davis shook his dead. "No way." His words were almost comforting. "Ken is too …*…*…to get himself killed. As being his best friend, that guy won't die easily without a fight."
Yolei nodded, but wasn't convinced. "We have to go back." She graced as the people around her stared at her.
"We have too! You guys get Leigh to the nearest hospital and I'm going to find Ken!"
"But Yolei!" Davis faced her into reality. "Probably all hospitals are crowded now, it might take ages for him to get treatment! Anyways, he is only unconscious…we could just splash water on his face."
"Davis!" Kari growled at him. "I can't believe you would say such a thing! Being unconscious now is as good as being dead! Yolei is right! We have to go back and find him a hospital!"
"But all hospitals are probably crowded…"
"PROBABLY?! Probably means uncertain!!! You asshole! If your so afraid, why don't you stay here!"
Davis was totally shocked by Kari's anger. But he wasn't a coward either.
"Fine! We'll go back. Back into hell. Suit yourself. I'm not afraid!" He crossed his arms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author's Note: I have just heard that my friend is dead. Confirmed. Her father also works in the 2nd Building of the World Trade Center. He has died also, working on the highest floors. There is a saying that everybody smiles before they die, but how can they smile when their faces are twisted with horror?
Why can life be so sad? Why does one have to wreck the most special gift we are given? Why? Why!?
Only god and the ones who did it have the answers…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ken was too shocked or surprised to believe it, so stunned, as he ducked behind a car as a wave of dust and debris swept across him almost blowing him away.
"Help…" He heard a faint voice call out to him, that seemed familiar. "Help…anyone…" The voice was in despair.
Ken, put his video camera around his neck and dashed into the deep dust.
"Where are you?" He choked out.
"Help…" The voice was weakening. "Help…"
Ken scrambled across the dusty floor, almost blinded by the dustic wind that surrounded him.
"Help…" The voice was getting louder and Ken knew he was getting closer.
Suddenly, he saw something beneath all the dust. "Cody?" He choked and saw his friend.
"Ken…" The weakness of his voice was terrible and Ken pulled him out from the debris and yanked him over his shoulder.
"Don't worry Cody, I'll get you to a hospital soon." Ken comforted, and ran, hoping he still knew the direction to the nearest hospital.

Author's Note: I am sorry to interrupt again… I have just came to the reality and shock…of this day…it's terrible…I am still very lucky to have contact to the internet…very lucky.
For those whose who live in New York and Washington D.C… and were at the heart of that attack..
Those assholes will be sorry. I can not stand what they are trying to do… Just because America supports Israel… those people cheering for this loss of life and tragedy…I hope they know how it feels…if they were stuck on one of the tallest building in the world with no place to run, no place to hide, but wait for their death…
Even a war field does not have so many debris and dust to be even called something like that. That falling debris made me think of this…a modern day Pompeii and Herculaneum from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius , in the year 79 AD…Pearl Harbor was not the first thing that came to my mind. It was such a disturbing sight…
The city of lights…falls to its name as it is surrounded by darkness today…
A sleepless city will not sleep tonight, fearing for their safety, living up to their name.
I was totally disturbed…beyond belief… and it was the baddest day for me today, test results, fall sick, miss the bus twice etc. but I would have never known, that today would be ever called a day of darkness. The 11th of September 2001 would always be remembered…and never forgotten.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yolei couldn't believe her eyes, couldn't believe Davis was right all along. The hospital was totally full of people with injuries. She could see people donating blood, injured people, people crying of sorrow…it looked like such a crisis, that it brought tears to her eyes.
Kari put a hand on her shoulder. "Be strong. We must get Leigh to a doctor, before we will go search for Ken…" She consoled.
"Yeah," Yolei tried smiling.
"Excuse me," Davis called for every doctor he saw. "Excuse me," he repeated, but they were all busy, tending to some other injured patient.
Davis lost his patience. "EXCUSE ME!!!"
T.K and Todd turn their backs away, embarrassed.
"Yes, may I help you?" A doctor finally replied to Davis's cries.
She was a pretty one, with straight blonde hair and green eyes, and about their age. Her identification card read 'Dr. Emerald Viena'
"Can you please help this man?" Davis asked Dr. Viena, pointing to Leigh.
"Hmm…" She looked at him. "How long has he been like this?" She asked.
"Quite a while…" Todd answered.
"Is it serious?" T.K asked.
Dr. Viena checked Leigh's pulse. "Not yet. But there is a simple cure." She smiled. Out of nowhere she popped out a bucket, full of cold water.
T.K, Davis and Todd got sweatdrops.
Splashing the water on Leigh's face, the 3 guys stepped back, as their sweatdrops continue to multiply.
'This woman…' Davis thought, 'She more crazier than me!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author's Note: An estimated 10,000 people are dead, many injured and some maybe still trapped.
How I came to realize how many people have died…you have to bring yourself to think of the
That's an estimated 8500 more dead.
Some would be very thankful that they are even alive.
A more mourning than that day in biblical times when god, descended upon Egypt, taking out the first born plague…
I for one have never ever heard so many people dead…in one single day…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will write more to this fan fic if people want me too.
Those who died as heroes will never be forgotten (Firefighters, policemen, 4th plane pilots and passengers and all others) in anybody's hearts.
For those who have perished…safe way to heaven…
My heart and hope goes out for all victims and all those who have suffered this tragic day…
Deepest sympathies…
