Josh’s shift started at 9.00am and when he finally got to the trade centre in his silver car, he got up quickly and slammed the door. Josh quickly walked up the subway, pushing and shoving people hastily out of his way, not looking at the traffic. He was eager to get to work as he was running late. Josh was such a bad frame of mind that did not perceive or hear the loud energetic buzzing in the air. As he walked curiously closer towards the towers, there was a thunderous roar of an aeroplane above Josh.
Katie walked across the street even more slowly than Josh and looked up as she heard the booming noise growing louder and louder like music on a radio being turned up. The more Katie looked up, the more horrified she felt. As it was getting louder, everyone started to notice, and out of the blue the people stopped and stared in amazement. They could not hear anything else, but this blaring blast.
Josh turned his head up nervously and eagerly tried to see what that horrific noise was. His eyes squinted, and to him it looked like a huge giant eagle flying towards him. More people stared closely and realised what it was, although they did not know where it was going to land. Suddenly, the ground started to rattle and people started to scream and shout helplessly. Josh’s lips dropped in horror at he gazed for minutes at the shocking sight.
Shortly afterwards, there was a tremendous bang. It was the aeroplane, It flew straight into the towers and almost everyone ran and screamed recklessly for their lives. Some just stared in amazement, as though it was something out of a horror film. Josh’s eyes grew bigger, and the noise rose louder. Within a few minutes or so, the aeroplane burst into sizzling flames, along with parts of the tower. Dust started to fly out and bits of stone and metal fell to the ground like heavy hailstones. The dust was getting into Josh’s eyes and he began to panic. He tried to wipe the dirt from his eyes hurriedly but struggles with great difficulty. Josh could taste it in his mouth, it was disgusting and he coughed vigorously. Katie stood well away from the towers and was so traumatised by the situation; she was trembling and was petrified. Katie could see innocent people standing at the windows outside. She saw one man jump into the burning hot flames. The flames were like a huge bonfire, but bigger.
More people were starting to climb outside the windows. Katie could not believe her eyes; she didn’t know what to make of it all as it was all so unreal. What scared her even more was that her shift was at 10.00am in the Trade Centre. Katie thought to herself scarcely, that it could have been her out side that window.
The ground quivered even more and Josh’s reaction grew more shocking. He thought of his friends who were in there, but he didn’t know whether or not to rush in and try to get them out. He knew he could get killed and couldn’t risk his own life. Josh could hear hundreds of people in the building screaming and roaring to get out. So many people desperately had to get out that they jumped out of the windows. It was like they were jumping into a swimming pool. The people panicked of the position they were in and thought it was the only way to escape the building. Josh looked in astonishment at the half-destroyed aeroplane and the horrific hot flames. The black, shiny windows on the destroyed tower smashed to pieces, and almost everyone stared in frustration and horror. The building collapsed like pieces of Lego falling apart. Many people were being killed instantly in the collapse of the tower and Josh began to feel upset and confused as his friends could be dead or screaming for help.
A middle-aged woman ran past Katie hurriedly and made her fall straight to the ground. Katie struggled to get up and looked wonderingly around her. She still could not believe her eyes and everything seemed like a dream. The sound of the loud crashes coming from the tower, the sound of the sirens driving by, the police, the ambulance and the fire brigade. It was one big nightmare and Katie didn’t know how to react. Katie imagined the people on the aeroplane, that all of those innocent people have died. She tried to think realistically about what could have caused the crash, maybe it was a terrible accident. It was a mystery and she felt like she was in a terrifying film.
Josh still really wanted to save his friends but he knew he had to stand back and protect himself. He felt powerless and aggravated at the circumstances that there wasn’t anything he could do. Josh also felt as though he was glad to be late for work, so he felt confused and unsure. He just stood there staring at the slaughtered destruction of the aeroplane. He could smell an unpleasant scent, it was like burnt flesh but very unusual. He covered his mouth and took a few steps back. The smokes from the flames were heading towards him and the flames were getting worse.
Josh and Katie hurried away and stared at the massacred destruction. Everyone around them was either screaming, traumatised or just struck dumb at the horrific sight. Josh looked around, mortified, as he saw the people crying and running into the streets. Katie’s mouth dropped open in shock when she turned around to find newspaper reporters, telling the world what had happened and interviewing people who were terrorised by the attack. Katie glared at the firemen running towards the fierce fire to put it out. Everything sounded like a big screech, the police cars, the ambulances and the hundreds of people yelling and crying out for help.
Just when everyone thought it was all over, it abruptly all started to happen again. Josh and Katie struggled with complexity to get out of the brown dust. As they started o see again, they saw a plane like a giant evil bird that was even louder than the first plane. They looked up and could hear a booming noise becoming louder. The ground shook and unexpectedly there was a roaring bang. Josh and Katie flung themselves to the ground and there was silence.
