Chapter 010 That Day
Chapter 010 That day
On September 3, Zeng Lingfeng's high school career officially began. Just like his previous life, he was still elected as the class monitor. Unlike his previous life, he was also elected as the vice chairman of the school student union.
There are three chairmen of the Student Union, one chief and four deputy director. The chairman is the director of the school’s student department and does not participate in the daily management of the student union. In other words, the daily management of the student union is the four vice chairmen, who manage the affairs of the high school department and the junior high school department respectively. Zeng Lingfeng is naturally responsible for the high school department, and the person who is responsible for the matters of the high school student union with him is a senior in the second year of high school.
Originally, Zeng Lingfeng didn't want to be the vice chairman, but Principal Guo took action personally, so he had to give this face and try his best to take responsibility.
Since the formal class started, Zeng Lingfeng discovered that many things were completely different from what I remember. However, the problem was not big and it did not cause much trouble to Zeng Lingfeng.
At 8:30 on the evening of September 11, Zeng Lingfeng left early, and it was not time for evening self-study to finish class.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Zeng Lingfeng took out the notes he brought to the dormitory, and he was waiting for that incident to happen.
Zeng Lingfeng didn't understand what kind of attitude he was towards what might happen soon. Zeng Lingfeng was very sympathetic to the thousands of victims; but Zeng Lingfeng had no idea of sympathy for the attacked United States, but was looking forward to it very much.
However, the notes Zeng Lingfeng used were just ordinary notes, and even the Internet was an ordinary business network. Naturally, it was impossible to contact some special people, and it was unlikely that they could see the situation on site.
A few days ago, Zeng Youming called and all the funds had already been cast in the world according to Zeng Lingfeng's plan. Zeng Youming was not sure why Zeng Lingfeng secretly attacked the United States at this time, and even opposed Zeng Lingfeng's actions. Zeng Lingfeng did not tell anyone about the news that the United States was about to be attacked by terrorists.
When Zeng Lingfeng opened his notes and started surfing the Internet, the night sky of Danxing was shining brightly. But in the United States, tens of thousands of miles away, it was a morning with the rising sun. On such a sunny morning, under this clear sky, a terrorist attack version was performed that was completely different from that in Zeng Lingfeng's memory.
At 8:30 am ET, two planes that took off from different airports changed course at the same time. One turned from Bōston to the southwest, and the other turned from Newark to the northwest, and headed towards New York in the middle.
Originally, both planes should have flew west, and their destinations should be Los Angeles and San Francisco. However, the passengers on the plane did not notice that the plane was heading abnormally.
Fifteen minutes later, two aircraft that took off from Washington Dulles International Airport almost at the same time turned around and flew from west to east to downtown Washington, more than 40 kilometers away.
Finally, the US aviation administration discovered an abnormality in the aircraft, but it was too late.
The two planes that took off first, flew to New York and the two planes that took off from Dulles International Airport will almost arrive at their destinations at the same time, namely New York, the largest city in the United States and Washington, the capital, with only ten minutes left.
The US military department is indeed very efficient. In five minutes, the US Air Force fighter jets that were ordered took off from the military airports closest to New York and Washington, and flew towards the plane with abnormal flight conditions.
Three more minutes passed, and American fighter jets discovered their targets one after another, but at this time their targets entered the downtown areas of New York and Washington respectively.
The US commanders hesitated whether to shoot down passenger planes with abnormal flight conditions immediately or force them to fly out of the city and then land in an emergency? Such a choice does test the courage of the US commanders.
At this time, the situation of the four aircraft with abnormal flight conditions was already obvious. They had been hijacked by terrorists. The terrorists began to play songs of jihad, majestic and ruthless, making the atmosphere appear tragic and tragic.
The targets of the four hijacked planes are already obvious, namely the World Trade Center and Statue of Liberty in New York and the White House and the Pentagon in Washington.
Three of the four goals are unbearable for the United States, and only the World Trade Center is still within the scope of Americans.
The commanders of the US military did not hesitate and decisively issued an order to shoot down immediately. Eight US F-22 fighter jets launched sixteen missiles at the same time, and each hijacked aircraft took on the share of four.
Maybe it was God's favor, maybe it was the appearance of Allah, maybe it was the terrorist pilot's skills too high, maybe it was the quality of the aircraft made by Bōyin Company. Although the four passenger planes were covered in scars under the attack of sixteen missiles, none of them fell and still staggered to their targets.
The first "boom" sound shocked the world, and the torch held by the goddess of Liberty disappeared.
However, the plane still did not explode and staggered towards the south tower of the World Trade Center in the northeast.
Two loud "boom" and "boom" sounded loudly throughout New York City. Under the gaze of millions of New Yorkers, the tallest building in the world broke from the middle at the same time. Some of the floors above fell down to the opposite side, while the floors below exploded one after another, collapsed layer by layer. The effect was very perfect, just like a disaster film directed by the highest technology director today.
At the same time when the Twin Towers were hit, two smoke-prone passenger planes also crashed into the Pentagon and the White House with resoluteness.
The US fighter jets wanted to launch a second round of missiles, but it was too late.
The Pentagon has since been inconsistent with its name, because its fifth corner has disappeared forever in the long river of history.
"Boom" the ground was filled with smoke and dust, and the fires soared into the sky. The white building that had been standing for 209 years disappeared forever in the eyes of the world. Bush Jr.'s life and death are uncertain.
This moment is 8:55 am on September 11, Eastern Time, at 8:55 am.
This moment has become a shame and pain that will never be erased in the hearts of Americans.
The Statue of Liberty was damaged, the Pentagon was damaged, the White House disappeared forever, and the Twin Towers collapsed. The smoke and dust not only covered the sky above New York and Washington, but also covered the hearts of all Americans.
From this day on, the numbers 911 and 855 have become taboos in the minds of 300 million Americans.
The combat capability of the US Air Force has been seriously questioned. Eight fighter jets, the F-22 fighter jets, which are known as one of the world's most advanced fighter jets today, and sixteen short-range air-to-air missiles that are known as the world's most advanced, have failed to destroy even a plane hijacked by terrorists. Such a record is indeed embarrassing.
Perhaps the only thing that makes Americans proud is that the aircraft of Bōyin Company has been tested to prove its superior quality and energy. After that, countries around the world have provided a large number of orders to Bōyin Company, which makes Bōyin Company both happy and embarrassing.
Five minutes later, at about 9 pm Beijing time, Zeng Lingfeng received the news.
Zeng Lingfeng didn't say anything. After a while, he waved his arm to the night sky and shouted: "Goodjerfect"
Zeng Lingfeng knew that it was time to count the money.
However, he didn't have to do these things by himself. At this time, he could only lie down and sleep obediently.
Bush Jr. was not dead in the end.
Looking at the bōyin 767 plane flying closer in the sky, Bush was very confused. Why did all four missiles fail? Is the omnipotent God no longer bless his loyal believers?
Bush Jr. can be confused, but the White House guards cannot be confused. As a last resort, they had to transfer Bush Jr. to the car immediately and drive away quickly.
The process was very fast, and it took only three minutes. When the convoy left the White House, it was only thirty seconds before the plane finally crashed into the White House.
The deafening explosion, the smoke rising into the sky, and the dust ravaging all the sky, all prove that the White House, a symbol of American politics, was destroyed.
Bush Jr. was stupid. Although the adviser had previously reminded that there was danger and asked Bush to evacuate the White House, it was just a security measure. In Bush's view, the so-called security measure was absolutely not arisen. It was just a security measure launched for possible accidents and absolutely guaranteed his own safety. Who would have expected that the White House would collapse and collapse so thoroughly.
What exactly is this? Did he accidentally bomb the Chinese Yugoslav Embassy, and now God is here to punish the United States? But if you want to punish Clinton, it should be punished, not the more annoyed I, Bush, and Bush, you should be as angry as I am.
The 54th president in American history and the 54th president in January this year. As a result, the US president who had just been the president for 232 days not only was the World Trade Center hit and could collapse at any time, but the Statue of Liberty, which has been standing on Liberty Island for 117 years and symbolizing the American spirit, was knocked off the torch in his hand. Finally, even the White House, which symbolized the 209-year history of American politics, collapsed today.
Bush felt that his life was a coffee table filled with tragedy. Perhaps, when later generations wrote history, they would write for themselves like this: the most unlucky president of the United States and the most incompetent president of the United States, destroying the spiritual and political symbols of the United States within one day.
Thinking of such comments, Bush felt chill all over his body, and looked at the sky full of smoke and dust, and felt infinite resentment in his heart.
All the officials evacuated from the White House were also stupid and no one expected that this place where previous US presidents worked would collapse one day, which was speechless.
The pedestrians on the street were even more stupid, rubbing their eyes desperately, unable to believe this scene. They were shocked to beat 911, but the bombarded one was a symbol of American politics. Is it useful to beat 911?
Western governments were silent. When the New York Building was attacked, Western governments expressed their grief and condemned the terrorists; when they learned that the Pentagon was destroyed, Western countries expressed their shock; after learning that the Statue of Liberty was destroyed, Western countries expressed deep regret for the United States' experience; but after learning that the White House was destroyed, they felt a little horrified: the always powerful United States and American imperialism not only destroyed the Pentagon, which is symbolized by the national army, but also the spiritual symbol of the Statue of Liberty, the most important thing is that the political symbol of the White House was also destroyed. No one could predict what kind of strong reaction the United States would react and what retaliation actions it would take.
Everyone could not predict the reaction of the US government, but some things immediately appeared. After the news of US Treasury bonds, stocks and futures, etc., was spreading, it immediately began an avalanche-like fall.
The 9 incident had a significant and real-time economic impact. A large number of large investment companies located in the World Trade Center lost a large amount of property, employees and data. Many stock markets around the world were affected, and some, such as the London Stock Exchange, had to evacuate. The New York Stock Exchange did not reopen until the first Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 14.26% on the first day of opening. The worst-stopping of the worst were tourism, insurance and aviation stocks. The prices of gasoline in the United States also fell sharply. At that time, the US economy had slowed down, and the 9 incident deepened the global economic depression.
After the "US 9/11 incident", the US economy was once paralyzed, causing direct economic losses and impacts on some industries. The World Trade Center located on Manhattan Island, New York is a skyscraper built in the early 1970s. It costs up to US$1.1 billion. It is a gathering place for world business forces. There are as many as 1,200 companies from all over the world, with 50,000 people working, and about 150,000 business personnel and tourists coming and going every day. Two skyscrapers are large.
The building suddenly disappeared, and the loss of talents is difficult to estimate. The restoration work of the Pentagon is at least hundreds of millions of dollars. The most severe thing is the damage to the Statue of Liberty and the complete destruction of the White House. The direct losses caused by this are definitely more than one billion dollars, but the indirect economic losses are immeasurable. Moreover, transportation and tourism have caused serious losses. Four domestic flights in the United States were hijacked in a day, causing huge casualties and property losses, which is indeed rare in history.
Originally, the terrorists used to call the police number in the United States. The choice of September 11 was obviously a provocation to the United States.
The 911 alarm number was born in the 1960s. In 1967, the US Presidential Law Implementation and Judicial Administration Commission recommended a unified telephone number nationwide to facilitate people to report emergency incidents in a timely manner. AT&T quickly announced the choice of 911 as the alarm number. The first 911 alarm station was established in Halleville, Alabama. After the 1970s, 911 alarm number began to increase significantly. 19
In 1976, 17% of Americans could dial the number, which rose to 26% in 1979 and 50% in 1987, and now it has reached 85%. About 50% of the United States' land area has been connected to 911 numbers, of which 95% are enhanced systems that provide the name and location information of each caller. The Pentagon started on September 11, 1941, which is exactly 60 years apart from the terrorist attack. In this way, terrorists will choose to attack it on 9th.
