spent my whole night watching tv. but it was worth the time.
was watching a documentary on national geographic on 911 - the planning, the execution and the aftermath.
rather detailed - it took three hours to finish the film.
well i must admit the film featured a pro-american viewpoint, which thus might be a little unreliable. but hey - we all live in a pro-american society, so yeah the pieces all make sense thus i guess.
very detailed planning into the most devastating terrorist attack in the history of the world - took 6 and a half years to prepare for the execution.
zero hour arrived - on the 11th September 2001.
the skies were clear and it was an exciting day coz voting had begun for the new mayor of new york. however, what happened next would be on such an overwhelming scale that it would alter the course of the world.
two planes crashed into the world trade centre. one into the pentagon and one into an open field in pennsylvania.
total casualty rate - 2972.
okay i don't know why i'm narrating here. but the film was definitely very touching. they showed many footages of people jumping off from the top floors whose stairways were blocked by raging infernos of fire.
indeed four years have passed since then. i rmbr my mum waking me up at around 10pm at night and i managed to witness live via cable tv the two towers collapsing into heaps of dust - leaving a mushroom cloud which triggered memories of hiroshima and nagasaki - two incidents which left a mountain of devastation, and changed the history of the world.
dejavu u think?
okay time to do work.
