On the morning of September 11, 2001, terrorist attempted to kill and destroy

people and buildings in New York City and Washington D.C with three air

planes by crashing on purpose.

          Coming to you live from ABC2 News, hello everybody and good

morning, well I shouldn’t say good morning because what I am seeing with

my own eyes ladies and gentlemen looks like a plane just hit the World Trade

Center in New York City. A large aircraft just hit the one of the twin towers.

Oh my lord, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a very good site. It looks like the

plane is in the Twin Tower and there are fires and explosions occurring. As

the helicopter shows, you can see two holes in the wall of the Twin Tower.

Some families are losing loved ones rite now people. This is just outrageous. I

am speechless rite now, I just don’t know what to say. We just heard that a

women saw a jet fly into the building. We are not sure whether this was an

accident or an attack. We are in the roam of speculation on happened to the

world trade center. (The time is 9:02 and the plane hit about 20 minutes ago).

Oh my lord ladies and gentlemen, another plane has just hit the other side of

the World Trade Center. Now it is believed that the city of New York is under

attack. This is a horror, many people work in this wonderful building and

some may have died from this attack on 9-11-2009. This will probably be

listed as one of the most vicious attack of America. I just can’t believe what I

am seeing here today.

We are receiving phone calls from some people that are actually on two

other planes. They say that one plane plans to hit the Pentagon and the other

plans to hit Washington D.C.  If I was on that plane, to be honest, I would be

terrified. WOW, the other plane has just hit the pentagon; the plane literally

just went right through the pentagon. There is a lot of fire on the top levels of

the World Trade Center. I don’t know how long this will go on folks, but these

terrorist are causing a lot of damage in the New York City and the World

Trade Center.

(Live from ABC2 News in New york City I am Kamau Stokes here with my

co-worker Kelly Edmonds, we are taking a sort break and we’ll be right

back.)

 We are back with one of the worst terrorist attacks in America. As you

can see Kelly, these people are really trying to destroy these wonderful

buildings in New York. I am not sure why they choose to hit new York first.

As for the other plane, if that plane reaches and hits our capital our country

will face a major challenge. Some of those challenges are; repairs, deciding to

go to war, and rebuilding our nation’s capital. 

(WARNING: STAY INSIDE)

          Kelly, one of the towers is falling down. The building just collapsed in a

blink of an eye. This is a terrible mess; there are explosions, glass breaking,

and screaming all around the city of New York.  WOW, the second building

has just fell down and there is just terrifying screaming sounds coming from

every direction. The city is in panic right now because this terrifying attack in

New York City.  I have just received information that is very heroic and sad.

The aircraft that was planning to hit our capital was taken over by passenger

who decided to make a plan to get the terrorist out of the cockpit and control

the plan. But their attempt was not successful and the plane crashed in a field,

killing all of the brave passengers on board. (TRAGIC).  Ladies and

gentlemen, this has been a tragic event, many police and firefighters are

searching for any survivors that were in the plane crash or people who may be

trapped under the World Trade Center.

Live from ABC2 News, I’m Kamau and I’m Kelly, here with a terrible site of

the 9-11 attack in New York City.

          During the 9-11-2001 attack, 3000 people were killed and many were

wounded. Saturday was the anniversary of 9-11 and many families gathered

together to honor their loved ones who died during 9-11-2001. They may be

gone, but they are definitely not forgotten.  This historic event changed many

people’s lives, some have lost family members and some just struggle to find a

new place to work since the World Trade Center fell and many people worked

there.
