The World Trade Centre in America
was a magnificent and splendid skyscraper. It was internationally important in
all respects. It was a 110 storeyed building with 43,600 windows and 250
elevators that has ever been built. The world people, specially the Americans
took a mighty pride for it. It had a good number of permanent tenants including
banks, restaurants and other government and non-government offices. The World
Trade Centre provided all sorts of facilities of the tenants. About 1.5 million
people would visit it daily. Unfortunately an unexpected and unwanted incident
happened to it on September 11 in 2001. The terrorists hijacked planes and
crushed into it and destroyed both the Twin towers and plunged the Pentagon in
Washington into flames in an unprecedented assault on key symbols of the US
military and financial power.
The loss of life was expected to
be catastrophic from the collapse of the giant towers of the World Trade Centre
where about 50,000 people work. The enormous edifice both fell in a cloud smoke
and fire within two hours after the initial impacted. The attack, the worst on
the US maintenance in modern history, plunged the country into chaos and panic paralyzing
communications, closing markets and forcing the evacuation of the key
buildings. Hundreds of people were burnt from head of foe. The attack forced
the evacuation of all govt. buildings in Washington including the White House
and other buildings around the country, cut cell phone communications on the
East Coast and grounded all commercial planes in the U.S.A.
One of the planes that was
crushed into World Trade Centre was American Airlines Flight-11. The plane
blasted fiery gaping holes in the upper floors of the Twin Towers. Within an hour
the southern tower collapsed with heavy roar. It is an irreparable loss not for
Americans but for the whole world.
