Chapter 105: The First Anniversary Before the Broadcast
September of this year is destined to be an extraordinary month, a year ago, that is, in 2001, the world-renowned 911 incident occurred!
And Link himself also became famous at that time, with countless doubts and even doubts, step by step to today.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
And the wounds left by the 911 incident to the United States have not been erased.
Even now, a year later, the debris of the World Trade Center continues to be cleaned up.
The two 110-storey skyscrapers, which left behind billions of tons of wreckage after their collapse, were only less than half completed after more than 300 days of cleaning.
The legacy of 911 is felt everywhere, not only in the plane engine wreckage that continues to be discovered, but also in the television season.
Perhaps in a few years, this effect will slowly fade. But today, September 10, 2002, the season still hasn't started.
Everyone is waiting for the first anniversary of 911 to begin the season.
Starting from September 10th, various TV stations have also launched documentaries such as "Memories of 911" and "Unforgettable 911".
CAA Television was no exception, and Link, the biggest beneficiary of 911, began to get terrified at this point.
Because, the more times like these, the more serious the grief of the population.
In this kind of environment where the whole country mourns, Link has become much more low-key, for fear that the people will have another big **, which will have a huge impact on his broadcast plan.
Fortunately, Link's response to this matter was quite adequate.
Major TV stations only launched a documentary program to commemorate 911, but Link directly ordered everyone to stop broadcasting all programs, and broadcast the documentary 24 hours a day - "Dead People, Lost Loved Ones".
The major TV stations almost all have the same model, inviting a few 'anti-terrorism experts' and a few '911 witnesses'. Through the narration of these people, and some pictures from the time, this documentary report was formed.
Unlike other TV stations, Link didn't invite anyone, nor did he have any hosts or guests or anything like that.
Since 6 o'clock in the morning, CAA TV has been broadcasting a large-scale documentary - "Lost People, Lost Loved Ones".
As early as a few months ago, Link began sending dozens of recording teams across the United States. Ongoing collection of detailed information about the people who died in 911.
Since this morning, people have been spotting this big documentary on CAA TV. Nearly 3,000 people killed in 911. In the form of a photograph before his death, plus the voice actor's heavy voice, and the black sรจ on the right side of the TV screen in English 'Please remember them'.
A few simple words, coupled with the gray and white picture style, and the constantly appearing, the smiling faces of the victims before their deaths, make everyone who watches this documentary can't help but feel a heavy mood.
Nearly 3,000 victims represent 3,000 families shattered in 911.
New York City, Manhattan Fire Brigade, in the screening room.
When those familiar faces appeared on the screen, the firefighters standing or sitting in the small space crowded with nearly 1,000 people had already burst into tears.
In 911, the Manhattan Fire Brigade was the first rescue organization to rush to the scene, and it was also the public sector with the largest casualties.
Looking at the familiar faces that kept flashing, especially their smiles before they died, among the thousands of firefighters, some of them couldn't hold back anymore and began to cry, calling their friends' names hoarsely.
Tommy...... Tommy ...... "The black team member 'Boomer' couldn't help but kneel on the ground, hitting the bottom with his head in tears.
This shout, which was like hitting the soul, made everyone present unable to suppress it anymore. Suddenly, the entire screening room was filled with wailing and crying.
"Come back...... You're coming back......"
Some of the team members rushed to the screen with tears in their eyes, stretching out their arms to hug the smiling man on the screen. However, no matter how hard he tried, it was always in vain, and only a pair of arms kept waving, as if calling for the departed.
If there is no more painful thing in the world, there is no more pain than the loss of a child! Those 3,000 broken families, the old people who have lost their beloved sons and daughters, looking at the familiar faces on the TV, can no longer hold back the sadness in their hearts.
Old man Smith, who lost his son, looked up to the sky and sighed with suppressed tears in the corners of his eyes.
The old wife was already trembling and kneeling on the ground, hugging the TV in front of her tightly, her palms gently rubbing.
The tearful eyes are full of deep longing, even if the water from all over the world is poured, it can't say that deep love.
The old wife looked at the smiling face on the TV with teary eyes, a smile of pity rose on her face, and she kissed it affectionately on the photo.
"Kid, we miss you so much."
That last call was a mother's cry from the soul!
It is a mourning for the only son who has passed away, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life!
It is a powerless struggle of maternal love that has been infused for decades!
It's deep!
It's unforgettable!
It is the pain that is imprinted in the deepest part of the soul!
โฆโฆ
I don't know when the noisy Times Square has long since quieted down.
The pedestrians have stopped and looked up at the huge electronic screen, and the smiling faces are so unforgettable.
Elena hugged her boyfriend tightly, but when she looked up, she found that the other party's eyes were already moist. With a look of deep love, he was looking at himself silently.
Alina burst into tears, threw herself into her boyfriend's arms, leaned on his shoulders, and choked up: "We all have to be fine, you can never leave me, never!" โ
The boyfriend also hugged the person in his arms tightly, looked up at the huge electronic screen, and hugged his arms tighter, as if he didn't want to let go for a moment.
A couple of white-haired husband and wife tourists also raised their heads silently. The two dry palms clenched tightly, the four eyes looked at each other, and in the cloudy gaze, there was a touch of indescribable feelings.
It is a nostalgia for life, and a reluctance to rely on life and death for decades.
The wife suddenly said, "I'm going to die before you, don't fight with me, okay?" โ
"Why?"
"Because you're stronger than I am."
"No, I'm pretending to be strong. Without you, I would never have been able to stay strong. โ
The wife stood on tiptoe and kissed her husband on the cheek. The wrinkled face was flushed. (To be continued.) )
