It has always been hard
leaving the children
they are growing up so fast
and I can’t even watch it happen
all I have is the loneliness of
getting on and off these planes
everyday to new places by myself
Business class is always very
quiet and tense, everyone keeps
to themselves
I wonder if all these people
have to leave their wife and children
to travel for a job they don’t even like
I look down at the photo in my wallet
of my two baby girls
I remember I am only doing this for them
trying to provide them with the best life I can
it hurts that I can’t be there for their
4th birthday party, but I’ll see them
next week
Our day of jubilation has come
I pray to Allah that the plan will work
I pray that by doing this
Afghanistan will rise above America
and be able to have our own culture
around us instead of these filthy American ways.
They are such hypercritics,
Americans were the ones who trained
us to fight and gave us guns
to supposably keep Russia out
when really they should be kept out
they have influenced our people to dress and talk differently
After this my country will be free
we will no longer change our culture and religion
we will have revenge and they will
feel over powered and destroyed
just as we felt when they took over
The moment of triumph has come
the planes have taken off and all is in motion
soon millions will know who we are
and this day of revenge and victory
will be spoken about for years
the day that the culture of evil died
under my order to save my country.
My hands are tired from typing these financial papers
My family must have me for dinner last night
I can’t imagine what they might be thinking of me
You can’t count on someone who is never ever there.
I should give myself a break and call them to say sorry
For missing diner with them. I can’t barely stay awake, my eyes are
Slowly shutting like when a baby is tired they can’t stay awake.
I head up to the tearoom to get a hot, steaming,
And sugar free coffee. Where are those donuts? The donuts are
Like the secret ingredient to a prefect morning breakfast.
Look at that view; it is like sleeping in a 5 star hotel
And waking to find the city right before your very eyes.
I put my cup of coffee down but I forgot to get
Some napkins silly me. The cup starts shaking and the tables
And chairs start falling to one side. I’m confused about
What is happening; it is only a cup of coffee. It can’t
Make the tables and chairs fall. I feel the floor tilting to one side. I hear people screaming and running away
from the building.
I ask what is going on when I hear the police asking
People to evaluate the building and get far away as possible.
I start running to my desk collecting all my personals; saving
Those financial papers, what am I doing? These aren’t as in
Important as my life and love ones who are scared and terrified
For my safety. My hands start shaking and I start sweating
I am so terrified! Where is my mobile I should now
Definitely call my family now because it could be my last……
Coming from Australia
looking at these beautiful towers
that I have always dreamed of seeing
I am so excited to be here
I hear a crash
I see smoke
there are people standing
in the middle of the street, gather
to see what has happened
I hear the cries and the phone calls to loved ones
The two beautiful towers
burning the lives of the people inside passing
the sound of people grieving for their loved ones
people never getting a chance to see
to love ones
The smoke starts to cover everything around us
the fire spreading throughout the building
the planes going further into the building
killing more innocent lives
what once was one of the
beautiful sites I’ve ever seen
burning to the ground.
People scream in horror
lives changing forever
Innocent lives are being lost
families are being destroyed
Sirens roam the streets
police officers, fire fighters, ambulances everywhere
everyone shocked and confused but we all get to work
Doing our best to save the lives of these victims
Being a fire fighter is struggle
I see lives lost all the time
knowing that some of these people didn’t get to say goodbye
so much pain so much torture
The falling buildings come crashing down
a thousand lives inside
blood everywhere
People broken to pieces from signficatly large items falling
So little hope left
people taking in their last breath
I rescued this one young girl from the building
daughter, sister, mum, wife
her face smeared in blood, 30 degree severe burns
she cries in pain
Not much hope in her surviving but I try staying positive
I carry her out with so much fear, I couldn’t just leave her there otherwise she
wouldn’t have survived. Everyone deserved a chance to get out of that falling
building.
she stopped breathing, I held my breath and prayed the medical doctors could
help her, they were able to resuscitate her.
Paralysed for life, with severe burns everywhere.
one life saved but many others lost
Arriving at the destroyed scene. I see people running and screaming
From the top of their lungs it was like the whole world was coming to an end.
No last regrets; everyone is on their own.
The Building is on fire, the sky is turning black from all the smoke.
I ran straight towards the scene as if I was a child on a sugar that couldn’t wait
To get on the rides but accept that I’m trying to save lives.
My partner runs back to the car and gets the mage phone, and gets on top
Of a car and is giving directions on how to get out of the city quickly as possible.
Everyone turns and faces my partner and listens the only
Things that you can hear are the building fall, and the smoke going into the atmosphere.
I get on top of a car and say to help those in need of assistants and help.
Everyone stops and does what they are told. As we were evaluating the scene the press
We’re going to do anything to get a great story; I should have warned them more.
The whole police force is arriving at the scene
To help, I could say that all the lives were saved that day but that
Wouldn’t be saying what truly happen.
When suddenly a turned around and the huge crowd run all over me.
I awake to find the world to have experience a true pain. I was
Carried to safety but some of the lives that I was saving couldn’t be spared.
This day will have impacted on many lives and will stay with them
Forever.
What has happen?
I heard a huge bang a few levels up
then a crack and a rumble
smoke spread though the building
after that I blanked out
I woke up with a sore head
being treated by paramedics at the scene
my eyes started to open as slow as a turtle
I saw my work building on fire
with smoke rearing from every end.
I didn’t know if I was dreaming or not
because I saw an elephant of a plane hanging out
of the building sizzling.
I had pain all through my body but
I couldn’t feel my legs, I wasn’t thinking
of it at the time until the young doctor
that me and told me that I would be
able to walk again.
My heart started to break, my tears blurred
my vision. I ask myself why I deserved this.
One year ago many lives changed forever, including mine
One year ago was the last time I could walk and have proper functioning
fingers.
One year ago was the last time I felt happy with the way I looked
One year ago a Beautiful Disaster hit New York
One year ago the twin towers came crashing down
One year ago was when everyone was running for their dear lives
One year ago fire burned the lives of the people inside passing, killing
thousands of innocent lives
One year ago...
