REMEMBERING THE WORST TERROR ACTS
REMEMBERING THE WORST TERROR ACTS
Three of the most unforgettable sights: Exploding towers and plane about to hit the second tower.
By BERTENI TOTO CATALUÑA CAUSING
The writer witnessed on the
television the fall of the Biggest Economic Empire when it happened on
September 11, 2001, now known as 9/11 terror tragedy. That time, the author was editing news
stories at the news desk of People’s Journal Tonight, then the
biggest-circulated English tabloid in the Philippines with more than 400,000
copies sold a day.
He cannot find sufficient words to
describe the September 11, 2001 tragedy that brought to zero the World Trade
Center that was the mightiest and the proudest in the world, financially and
otherwise.
The most awful sights on tv that
time was the crumbling down of the two towers into ashes and the people waving
for help from the windows, and falling human bodies that went to nowhere.
Almost all these people are missing till ten years ago today.
There is no other way to resolve
any tragedy, no matter how traumatic. It
is only by means of confronting the same, over and over again. Fear can only be conquered by facing fear.
As his contribution to the world,
the author presents these two most dramatic videos of the collapse.
Here are these video footages:
1. COLLAPSE OF TWO TOWERS OF WTC
2. BODIES FALLING DOWN AND PEOPLE WAIVING FROM
THE WINDOWS OF WTC TOWER
The
remembering cannot be complete without watching more. So that the author compiled some more selections
and these are as follows:
3. LIVE SHOTS OF CBS NEWS (FEATURING THE 2ND
PLANE HITTING THE 2ND TOWER)
4. AMATURE VIDEO SHOWING THE 1ST PLANE
SMASHING THE 1ST TOWER
5. FULL DOCUMENTARY OF WORLD TRADE CENTER
TRAGEDY
My friends,
this is not an issue of religion, neither of race or nationality. This is without doubt a powerful argument
that we must all learn to avoid repeating history through understanding of each
other’s dreams, aspirations, traditions, pride, honor and everything else.
We can
always learn to restrain ourselves if we cannot accept loving another
person. Violence is always violence, no
matter the reason behind.
Osama
Bin Laden or his Al-Qaida fanatics, or even peoples in other parts of the world
who feel they are oppressed or taken advantage of by the government of the USA,
cannot use these perceived oppression or perceived Zionism-leaning actions as justifications
to “punish America” when those actually punished when the punishing acts were
done were people who had absolutely nothing to do with the governance decisions
of the US.
Let us
remember the biggest massacre of modern times.
