Chapter 1446: Big Chimney!
The World Trade Center in New York is not just two skyscrapers that stand out from afar, it also has a series of outbuildings, a total of two 110-storey tower skyscrapers, plus one 8-storey, two 9-storey, 1 22-storey, and 1 47-storey complex.
The underground structure of the entire complex is basically combined: if you don't combine it, you can't do it, otherwise you will go up and where to park!
This is Manhattan!
In this area of the complex, there are almost 100,000 office workers and tourists every day at its peak, and the population density is amazing.
At 12:18 p.m., some people were planning to eat lunch delivered by the delivery company, and for most of the people in the building, lunch was after 12:30.
When you go to work in Manhattan, you come late in the morning, so the Chinese food will naturally be pushed back, and many people will not leave work too early in the afternoon.
There are restaurants nearby, but obviously it's impossible to get everyone to sit down and have a good meal, basically just solve it in the office, which is similar to the white-collar workers in Mumbai's southern city.
High income, that also comes at a price, and those who have time to sit comfortably in a restaurant at noon to eat, that is, a small number of executives and bosses.
Jenny was leaving the conference room of another company after a meeting with the heads of the other five major international financial speculation fund groups.
Like everyone else in the World Trade Center, she heard a loud "thump" and instantly felt the building start to shake!
Before the people in the building understood what was going on and didn't have time to scream, the power went out!
Where there is a window, the light is good, and where there is no window, it is dark!
The higher the floor, the more it shakes!
Jenny was on the 98th floor, wearing high heels, and almost fell down, and was helped by a fast-eyed personal bodyguard.
Keep your hands on the wall to prevent falling.
When people reacted and felt that something was wrong, panic screams rang out everywhere, and they felt shaking in the skyscraper at a height of 400 meters, which was terrifying enough to make people despair!
Even more unfortunate and helpless are those who are trapped in the elevator, which is really called the heaven and the earth are not working.
Surrounded by assistants and 11 top-level professional bodyguards who would go up first when the sky fell, Jenny was quite calm, and the group of people retreated to a position away from the window first.
The building gradually stabilized, and seeing that there were still people holding the phone in the large semi-open office area on the side, obviously the communication was fine, Jenny took the mobile phone in the assistant's hand and dialed the phone number of Nicole's office.
This kind of transfer and finding someone is the fastest!
She and Nicole's office outside the secretary's front desk processing system has an automatic number retrieval function, and the call will not be manually cut off by the secretary outside.
Even if Nicole is not in the office, the call will be automatically transferred to the other person's phone after 15 seconds, and after 40 seconds, if no one answers, it will be picked up by the secretary on duty.
As soon as the phone was connected, Jenny's panicked heart calmed down a lot: her almost omnipotent man was on the other end of the line.
After saying this, he handed the mobile phone to the assistant and said loudly to the captain of the bodyguard who was in charge today: "It should be a bomb attack, we will go to the top floor immediately, and the helicopter will arrive soon!"
Bomb terrorist attack, the bodyguards also judged in this way, going to the top is a good choice, and the phone call just now was obviously either to the boss or to Nicole's boss.
If you want to shake a skyscraper of the level of the World Trade Tower, the bomb is not small!
Evacuation as soon as possible is the best option: the eleven bodyguards knew how horrific the car bomb attack in South Africa was, even though they didn't know that it was actually the work of their own bosses.
Let's go, go to the rooftop now!
There should be two fire stairs in the building, and there are 12 floors above, and several of the bodyguards are big guys, muffling to open the way to the nearest staircase.
There is no effort, and they will not kindly remind irrelevant people to evacuate quickly, at this time, the bodyguards will only consider the safety of their bosses, if they kindly remind, it will hinder their own escape speed.
If the building was so dangerous that it was about to collapse, they wouldn't even mind going on a killing spree to get rid of anyone blocking the escape route, even if it was an extra second!
Knowing where the stairs are, the top bodyguards, they know the location of all the elevators in this building, and they also know the location of the walking stairs as an escape route, and they know that the two stairs are not spacious!
It is a must to be prepared and understand the environment at all times!
Surrounded by the proprietress and quickly ran to the stairs, the frightened people near the aisle had not yet figured out the situation, and even the people who reacted the fastest did not think about how to act well, watching the group pass quickly, and unconsciously got out of the way.
Halfway down the road, Jenny caught a glimpse of an acquaintance, George Soros, who had just been in the meeting with him, and one of his assistants and two bodyguards coming out of the door.
"George, come with us!"
Jenny shouted in passing, and the two bodyguards on the other side immediately signaled that their boss had better follow her friend's advice.
Jenny was wearing high heels, and Soros, who was over sixty years old, couldn't run fast, just walking together.
As soon as I passed the fire door and arrived at the corridor, there seemed to be a hot air rushing up from below, but fortunately it was not uncomfortable. Soros then had the time to ask Jenny on the side: "Mrs. Jenny, what's the situation?"
"Terrorist attack, there should be a bomb under the building, we have to go up to the rooftop, the helicopter will be there soon. ”
Soros nodded, and his bodyguards had guessed where it might have exploded, but it couldn't be identified as a terrorist attack.
Soros didn't react to leave from the rooftop immediately just now, and he wouldn't even think about walking downstairs: it's more than 300 meters down, and at his age, he is not an athlete, so it seems that it is better to wait.
As for this, listening to the opinions of the third-in-command of the Sunshine Star Group is right, Soros is a master of the masters in financial trading, but he really doesn't have much experience in dealing with terrorist attacks, and it's right to listen to the boss of the "United Forces" in this matter.
There was no one else in the stairs except for them!
I climbed the stairs with all my might, and after walking six floors, there were finally some people in the corridor who planned to use the stairs to evacuate, but they all went down.
Many people trapped in the elevator are desperately calling for help, the power is completely cut off, and even the emergency call system does not work!
Others were ready to evacuate on foot from a 400-metre-high building, but they soon found that the way down was not the case: the upper part of the people was fine and had not been affected by the billowing smoke, but the people who were on the twentieth or thirty floors below and wanted to evacuate by stairs had already encountered smoke.
Walk the staircase, it's going to be a big chimney!
The smoke was so smoky that the men couldn't go down at all, so they had to retreat back into the floor and close the fire door.
The most effective, or even the only way to escape, is to escape to the rooftop!
