Imagine you are sitting at your desk working for one of the biggest trading companies in the world, thinking your life could never be much better than this. Then hearing a loud roaring sound, you look out the window of your cubicle in the one-hundred and ten story building and all you see are the faces of foreign men with and evil smirk on their horrible mouths as they plow a 767 plane into the building you are in. This was the first of many tragedies as a terrorist attack on the United States, that changed many lives and broke many hearts.
The effects of this tragic disaster were indescribable. The amount of lives lost in this attack are horrendous in numbers, as are the amount of people unaccounted for. Families search up and down the streets looking for some comfort that their loved ones are still alive. Children post homemade posters all over town in search of their mothers and fathers. Mothers and fathers call out to their children on television asking if they are alive and well to contact them at once so they can stop worrying. Even neighbors of the missing are out in search of an answer of their survival. .
There were so many effects of this attack, that half of them can not even be described. Our once glamorous and well known twin towers of the World Trade Center are now a pile of rubble in the middle of New York City. Underneath this enormous pile of brick, concrete, glass, and papers that were once important files in someone's file cabinet, are people. Many are dead, some are alive but suffering from injuries, and some are our own emergency rescue units. Police men, firefighters, doctors, and others are also trapped in the rubble because the buildings collapsed while they were in the process of searching and rescuing victims. Fortunately some have been rescued themselves, but others are still trapped awaiting rescuers to save them and others are tragically dead.
