216 After the disaster
“…… At 8:46:40 a.m. today, American Airlines Flight 11, which was flying from Boston's Logan International Airport to Los Angeles, crashed into the 94th and 98th floors of One World Trade Center. "The flight went missing at 8:40 and received a distress call at 8:21......"
“…… At 9:038 a.m., less than seven minutes after the first terrorist attack, a second hijacked plane, United Airlines Flight 175 from Boston's Logan International Airport to Los Angeles, crashed into the 78th to 84th floors of the Second World Trade Center......"
"At 9:37:46, the third hijacked plane, American Airlines Flight 77 from Washington Dulles Airport to Los Angeles, hit the Pentagon...... 10:02:23...... The fourth plane crashed outside the suburbs of Washington, D.C...... At 9:59 a.m., the devastating collapse of the two World Trade Center buildings began, killing countless people and rescue workers who had not had time to evacuate, and the rescue headquarters was buried under the rubble, making search and rescue operations more and more difficult......
"According to statistics, the death toll has reached 1,245, and the total number of missing people is 3,187, and the hospitals in the New York area and nearby cities have long been full of injured patients, and the death toll is still rising...... From the Hui side, we can see that desperate victims are constantly jumping from tall buildings with smoke billowing ......"
“…… Let's switch the channel to interviews with survivors ......"
“…… I was a journalist, a reporter for The Premiere, and I wasn't in the Twin Towers at the time, but I was in the Hotel San Marco next to Building 1 for an interview with Theolod Lecht, the star of the upcoming Phantom of the Opera...... Yes, he was there too, and everything happened very quickly when the disaster happened, and a piece of plane wreckage rushed into the room we were in, and I was completely stupid, it was Theo who saved me......"
"He always encouraged me to stay calm and persevere, and I still remember what he said, 'Don't be afraid, I'm still here.'" When I saw my colleague collapse after the death, he was the one who supported me and told me to live with his share. Without him, I don't know if I would have survived that nightmare......"
“…… I rushed out with Theorod. We went down to the fifteenth floor of the hotel, and the attack on Building 2 made the hotel shake again, and everyone around me panicked, thinking that the end of the world was coming. But there was a voice that kept us focused, telling us that it wasn't an earthquake, and that we were going to escape with the wounded, and I listened to [his words]...... Then I wanted to give him the stretcher, and he was injured too, but he gave it to someone else, and he stayed to help the medical staff......"
“…… I don't care what kind of person he was before, I don't know, but at the moment when everyone panicked and ran for his life, and he resolutely stayed and decided to help, he was my hero, and I will always respect him. ”
The TV was turned off, and Theorod stood by the window and looked out the window without moving. Today, almost every channel reports the same disaster, and he is not in the mood to listen to it, nor can he watch it, and the heavy reports on television are like the buzzing of mosquitoes to him.
Outside the window, the two towering buildings that had once been the pride of New York were gone, leaving only billowing smoke.
Theolod can maintain a very high psychological quality in a critical moment, but in the end, he is just an ordinary person with mental illness, and after the disaster subsides, some negative factors will grow in the shadows.
There are many similarities between this world and his world, including the wars that have taken place before, however, the Petronas Twin Towers, which had been preserved all his life until he left that world, were actually in this world, today, when they were hit and destroyed by a civilian plane hijacked by deranged terrorists.
That's thousands of human lives, if only he could have foreseen it...... Even though Theolod knew he couldn't think so, he just couldn't help but think that it was all his fault. But even if he knew, he still couldn't do anything about this suicide terrorist attack.
"Hey, Theo, I think you'd better take a break. Norton stood behind Theolod and patted him on the shoulder.
He happened to be at home when the disaster struck in the morning, and his new film "25 Hours" was due to start shooting in New York soon, so he didn't go anywhere, and his girlfriend Sharma Hejak also left New York some time ago because of work. His apartment was near Manhattan, and the roar of the Twin Towers was heard throughout New York.
He called 911 and the line was busy, so he immediately turned on the TV. He had witnessed the second plane crashing into Two World Trade Center, a catastrophic scene that was by no means a movie special effect, and he froze until he saw a familiar figure in the flashing live footage.
Theorod? He's in New York?
Norton wished that he had seen it away, he hurriedly called Theolod and found that he couldn't get through at all, not only that, but he couldn't contact anyone else, and the communication business in New York was cut off at the moment it happened! He was so distraught that he picked up his car keys and rushed out, but unfortunately all three blocks near the Twin Towers were blocked, and his status as a public figure did not allow him to rush in hysterically like ordinary people, and he had to go back the same way when he was asked back by the traffic police.
Theolod stayed near the medical team for nearly half an hour, and the ambulances that came to support him finally brought the situation under control, and many people discovered his presence. At the admonition of the leading doctor, Theolod left the vicinity of the Petronas Twin Towers. Not long after leaving, the Twin Towers collapsed into rubble, and it was half an hour before Theorod received a call from New York City.
It was Norton, who had placed Theorod, who had nowhere to go for the time being, in his apartment. Communication in New York City was restored, but it was still difficult to get in from outside New York City, and Theorod and Bennett left in a hurry, leaving without a penny, so they had to stay at Norton's house.
Later, probably seeing him on TV, Theolod received a call from several friends who were also in New York, such as Al Pacino, who, after learning that Theorod was fine, asked him if he had a place to stay, and if he didn't find a place to stay, he could go to his house and stay as long as he wanted, after all, the flights across the country would never resume for a while.
Of course, Theolod refused, after all, the other party has a girlfriend and a child at the moment.
Theorod had been at Norton's house, from morning to afternoon, and the TV news was scrolling through the morning terrorist attacks, and Norton knew that Theorod was in a bad mood, so he turned off the TV.
"Don't worry, Theo, everything will be fine, you're a hero to some survivors right now. Norton reassured.
Theolod smiled and shook his head: "Hero, no, Ed, it's a pity I'm not, look at the firefighters who rushed into the dangerous building again and again, what am I?"
"Yes, they are indeed admirable, but, everyone is different, you can't measure an actor by the standard of a firefighter, you've done a great job, my old friend, you did everything you could to help people in need, what can you blame yourself?"
Theolod was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed and looked at Norton: "Do you know the hijacked plane that crashed into the second building of the World Trade Tower? I remember clearly, United Airlines Flight 175, flying from Boston to Los Angeles. If I hadn't been briefed this morning and flew from Boston to New York last night, my name would have been on the list of victims. ”
Norton's heart was shocked, and he suddenly didn't know what to say. If there is no such magazine interview, then the consequences are ...... It's unimaginable.
"There is no greater sorrow than ......this," Theorod bowed his head in pain and held his face with his hands, "my friend, do you know what your first reaction was when I learned the news, which you call a hero? not grief, not anger, not sympathy, but ...... Thankfully, there are so many emotions for me to choose, why is it in the first place? I'm glad I didn't get on that plane......
Maybe...... The most damned thing is that he has such selfish thoughts...... Theolod squeezed hard the band-aided wound on his face cut by the broken glass, as if the pain would make him feel a little more comfortable.
Norton didn't know the real reason why his former best friend, who had been as warm as sunshine, was now so negative, and he thought it was because of the psychological stimulation of the post-disaster stress response. He stepped forward and took Theolod into his arms, covering his face in pain, and gently patted him on the back.
"You know, Theo," Norton said in a lighter tone to his best friend, who was extremely strong in front of outsiders and took the initiative to carry everything, "Actually, when I heard you say that you brushed shoulders with death, my first reaction was also to be glad, I knew that such thoughts were disrespectful to the deceased, but I still want to tell you from the bottom of my heart, I am glad that I did not lose such a friend as you, and if that is the case, you will never imagine how painful I am." Hey, you're my 'other half'. ”
Theolod leaned on Norton's shoulder and remained silent, not sure if it was because his words worked, or because he blamed himself for being a burden by letting his friends worry about him. Finally, he let go of his hand, patted Norton on the back who was comforting him, and joked, "How long do you want to eat my tofu?" ”
“…… Less and I got cheap and sold well. Norton tried to knock Theolod on the head, but when he saw the bandage on his forehead, he gave up, and finally touched his hair, "During this time, you eat mine, wear me, live in mine, it's better to be honest with me." ”
"Be careful that I kidnap your Maggie home then, after all, she likes me better. ”
"Maggie won't abandon me, she loves me, right?"
The called Ragdoll shook its tail and remained on the couch without moving.
In the evening, the communication business finally returned to normal, and Bennett handed the phone to Theorod as soon as possible. Theorod didn't need to look to know who the person on the other end of the phone was, and Norton saw him leave the table, and he smiled and bent his eyes with a gentle face, mistaking it for Theorod's secret girlfriend on the other end of the phone.
In fact, Norton guessed correctly in a way, it was indeed a secret lover, but it was not the girlfriend he thought. Theolod told Natle that he was all right, and that he would probably stay at the Norton house for the rest of the national flight ban. He wanted Nattel to pass the call to Maggie, but he was told that he was not at Maggie's house at the moment.
Theolod didn't think much of it, and after a few conversations, he hung up the phone, called Maggie, Marshall, and Herman to report that he was safe, and finally borrowed Norton's computer to log on to his blog, telling fans who cared about him that everything was okay.
On the other side, Nattel, who had been reminding him of his fears, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't completely let go of his heart, but just viciously instructed the people driving around him: "Drive faster, this is a sports car and not a scooter, there are still five hours to get to Denver, this speed is too slow!"
It took more than 40 hours to drive from Los Angeles to New York, across the entire North American continent. The moment he learned of the accident in New York, he grabbed two good drivers next to him and threw them into the sports car, and the three of them continued to change cars, and they could arrive in New York in less than two days.
Now, less than a third of the way has been driven, which is a little too slow in Nattell's opinion.
