It's the middle of the night. More detailed information was transmitted back through various channels of Fan's Investment Group, which made everyone stunned.

At 8:40 a.m. EST on September 11, 2001, four domestic U.S. civil aviation flights were hijacked almost simultaneously, two of which hit the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York, and one hit the Pentagon, where the U.S. Department of Defense is located in Washington, D.C.

The fourth hijacked plane crashed in Pennsylvania, and according to post-mortem investigations, passengers on board tried to regain control of the plane from the hijackers. The target of the hijacked plane is unknown, but it is believed that the hijackers hit the U.S. Capitol Hill or the White House (the results of subsequent interrogation of the terrorists involved in the planning of the attack showed that the fourth target of the terrorist attack was the Capitol, which until then the U.S. authorities had suspected of being the White House).

In addition to the collapse of two 110-story skyscrapers at the World Trade Center in New York after the attack, five buildings near the World Trade Center were also damaged by the earthquake. The Pentagon suffered local destruction, part of the structure collapsed; The attack filled the skies over Manhattan with smoke and smoke.

Because it was during the rush hour at the time, it was still unknown how many people were trapped and how many were killed in the World Trade Center, and the reaction to the incident, including Phoenix TV and some other domestic media, was quite strong, and everyone was speculating whether the number of petitioners this time would really exceed the 50,000 as the American media said.

"It's unlikely that there will be 50,000 people—a few thousand at most—" Mr. Fan said to a somewhat uneasy Mr. Jobs.

In fact, this is just speculation in the media during the state of emergency, and everyone has counted the number of people in the World Trade Center, and estimated how many people should be working in the building at this time, but they have also ignored one point. The number of direct casualties in the World Trade Center building was much smaller, after all, the time between the attack and the reaction of the people, to the arrival of emergency teams, to the collapse of the main part of the building due to the impact of the fire.

Soon, a detailed list of events was passed around after dawn from all sides, and the entire television station was discussing the incident, from media anchors to military experts who appeared urgently to analyze it.

At 8:19 a.m. on September 11, an attendant on American Airlines Flight 11 called American Airlines to tell American Airlines that there was no response from the cockpit, that a passenger in business class had been stabbed to death, and that we might be hijacked.

At 8:24 a.m., the direction of the eleventh American Airlines flight turned to New York. Thirteen minutes later, the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Boston Air Center notified NEADS, a subsidiary of NORAD, of the North American Air Defense Command's NEADS that eleven American Airlines flights had been hijacked. This is the first time that the US side has come into contact with information about the hijacking, and the Boston Air Center has asked the US side to assist in intercepting 11 US Airlines flights. Immediately afterward, United Airlines flights 93 and 175 were hijacked one after another.

At 8:46 a.m., two U.S. Air Force F-15 Eagle fighters scrambled from a massachusetts air base to intercept eleven American Airlines flights, but the Air Force pilots did not know the correct location of the eleven American Airlines flights, and NEADS managed to locate the aircraft in question in the next few minutes.

At 8:46:40 a.m., an American Airlines flight, a fully fueled Boeing 767, crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at a speed of about 490 miles per hour, between the 94th and 98th floors of the building. The building immediately caught fire, and the 69 tons of aviation fuel from the aircraft were dumped into the building, exacerbating the fire. The entire structure of the building was destroyed.

Personnel below the impacted floor began to evacuate, but all three staircases were damaged, so that personnel above the impacted floor could not escape. The staff of the South Building of the World Trade Center quickly informed all the personnel in the South Building, saying that the South Building was still safe and could operate normally. Some ignored the announcements and evacuated, some continued to work, and others gathered in the Sky Lobby in the South Building.

Three minutes later, CNN began broadcasting live on the World Trade Center, the first news article in the world to report on the attack.

Fourteen minutes later, American Airlines Flight 77 was being hijacked.

At 9:02:54 a.m., a Boeing 767 plane loaded with fuel on United Airlines flight 175 crashed into the 78th to 84th floors of the South Tower of the World Trade Center at a speed of about 590 miles per hour, causing a huge explosion.

The plane crashed into the south tower at an angle of nearly 45 degrees to the left, indicating that the hijackers had narrowly missed their target. Part of the wreckage of the plane exited the east and north sides of the building and fell six blocks away.

However, there was also a stairwell intact at this time, so the few people above the point of impact could still survive.

Multiple explosions were heard at the scene, some thought it was two unrelated accidents, while many more immediately believed it was a terrorist attack.

Between nine and half past ten, at least twenty people trapped on the top floor of the building by fire and smoke jumped from a height. There is evidence that a large area in the middle of the north building collapsed immediately after the attack, perhaps to make the people jump to survive thinking that the building was about to collapse.

A firefighter on the ground floor was stoned to death by a jumper who fell from the sky.

Because the smoke and updrafts are too strong. Air rescue operations could not be carried out, and New York City itself lacked helicopters dedicated to air rescue.

At nine o'clock, the Federal Aviation Administration's Boston Air Traffic Control Center issued an order to suspend the departure of all aircraft in its jurisdiction. Immediately afterward, the Federal Aviation Administration banned any aircraft from entering the airspace of New York and nearby Boston, Cleveland and Washington.

Two minutes later, the Federal Aviation Administration banned all U.S. planes flying to or through New York airspace, and all tunnels and bridges in New York City were closed.

At 9:24 a.m., U.S. President George Brown, who was visiting an elementary school classroom in Florida. Immediately after receiving the news that the second plane had hit the World Trade Center, Bush released a brief speech in another classroom at the school, saying that the United States was being attacked by terrorists and that the US Government would launch a comprehensive investigation into the cause of the plane crash, and that the incident was a national tragedy.

At the same time, the FAA informed NORAD's Northeast Air Defense Department that American Airlines Flight 77 had been hijacked, and they connected to discuss matters related to American Airlines Flight 77 and United Airlines Flight 93. Subsequently, the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States announced a ban on all civilian airliners in the country.

At 9:37 a.m., American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757, crashed into the west wing of the Pentagon and caused a fire. The part that was attacked had just been refurbished and was not yet fully operational, but it still killed more than 100 people in the west wing of the Pentagon.

At 9:45 a.m., the United States closed its airspace, prohibiting any civil airliners from taking off, all flights in flight must immediately land at the nearest airport, and all flights to the United States were immediately diverted to Canada.

Later, the FAA announced a no-flight, during which only military and rescue aircraft were allowed to take off, the fourth time in U.S. history that all commercial flights in the United States were halted and the only unplanned emergency measure. Prior to this, all aircraft were grounded for national defense purposes.

The White House was closed to the U.S. Capitol Hill, martial law was placed on the surrounding lots, and President George W. Bush left Florida.

At 9:59:04 a.m., the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed. The collapse of the building was witnessed by hundreds of millions of viewers around the world through a live broadcast on television.

At 10:03 a.m., United Airlines Flight 93 crashed southeast of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Police investigation reports indicate that no one on board survived. Further investigation later revealed that passengers had been in contact with the ground via mobile phones prior to the crash and had been informed of attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Upon learning that they were about to become suicide bombers, at least three passengers ventured back in an attempt to regain control of the plane from the hijackers, most likely due to a violent resistance that caused the plane to crash before reaching its destination.

Personnel within the White House, the Treasury Department, the State Department, and other key government agencies began to evacuate, and parts of the Pentagon collapsed. Tens of thousands of people were affected by the evacuation of the United Nations headquarters in New York.

At 10:28:01, the North Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed from top to bottom, leaving no one alive on the floors above the impact point.

There are three main reasons why the North Building collapsed later than the South Building: the higher impact point, the slower speed of the aircraft, and the fire protection system on the affected floor has been partially updated; Buildings such as the Marriott Hotel, U.S. Customs, and the Hilton Hotel, located near the Twin Towers, were also damaged.

At 10:39 a.m., US President George W. Bush issued an order that in the event of an emergency, the Air Force could shoot down any aircraft that could carry out an attack.

CNN reported that a full evacuation had begun between Washington and New York City, and that the United Nations headquarters had been emptied minutes later. The mayor of New York ordered the evacuation of the Manhattan area.

Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight people were killed in the incident, and a total of 411 rescue workers were killed in the incident. The terrorist attacks of that day had a huge impact on the United States and the world, and it was the second attack in history to cause heavy casualties to the United States after Pearl Harbor during World War II.

This incident is also the worst terrorist attack in human history so far, and the US government's condemnation and stance on this incident has also been sympathized and supported by most countries.

The 911 incident was a severe blow to the United States, and people around the world were terrified and resolutely opposed to the resurgence of 911 incidents, which also led to the subsequent international cooperation of many countries in anti-terrorist operations.

After the 911 attacks in the United States, the economy was paralyzed for a time. It has caused direct economic losses and impacts to some industries. The World Trade Center, located on Manhattan Island, New York, is a skyscraper built in the early seventies of the twentieth century, with a cost of up to 1.1 billion US dollars, and is a gathering place for the world's business forces, with a total of 1,200 enterprises from all over the world, 50,000 people working on weekdays, and about 150,000 business personnel and tourists coming and going every day.

Two skyrocketing buildings were wiped out in one fell swoop, and the Pentagon's restoration work was at least in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and the loss of talent is hard to quantify.

For US President George W. Bush, the American people, and American politicians, the terrorist attack on 11 September was a historic shock.

Within two hours, thousands of casualties were inflicted on the United States mainland, and even the White House, the President's Air Force One plane, the Defense Department building, and the World Trade Tower, a financial center, were all targeted by terrorists.

And the transport and tourism industry has taken a heavy toll. The hijacking of four U.S. domestic flights in one day and the huge loss of life and property caused are indeed rare in history.

In order to show that he is not threatened by terror, on the evening of 11 September, although the White House was still threatened with attack, he decided to return to the White House and make a statement to the people of the whole country at the White House, so as to show that terrorists cannot stop the operation of the US administrative center.

After the accident, Jobs was going to return to the United States, but unfortunately the U.S. government issued a no-fly order, which was useless in a hurry, Fan Wuzhi comforted him and said that no matter how bad things were, it was impossible to affect Apple, after all, this blow was more for the financial community, and for Apple, which was focused on high-tech products, the impact was not great, and the order and underwriting agreement signed between the two parties would not be affected because of this incident.

"Even if Apple does encounter some difficulties because of this, don't worry, as a partner, Fan's Investment Group can share some of the pressure, whether it is economic or political. It's all right-" Fan Wuxian expressed his attitude very responsibly.

"Thank you very much." Jobs said.

In fact, Jobs didn't want to get to that point, after all, as a Van investment group with extremely rich cash flow, it was indeed easy to buy Apple if he found the right time, and he didn't want to change from a boss to a wage earner.

However, who can say clearly about the things in this world? It's like two World Trade Center towers, but in the blink of an eye, they collapsed.

This world, in fact, is still very crazy.

There are no pop-ups
