The Towers of Nyc the Day They Fell

Two standing structures standing up so high touching tha clear blue sky. Huge white walls on either side, Hundreds of windows reflecting the sky. Thousands of workers sit at their desks; unaware of the fear that is growing near. its 8:45 people still come to arive; but soon they'll be fighting to survive. The north tower is struck by a plane and the 1st tower is turned into a flame. Smoke and ash flow throughout the buliding as people below are screaming. Videos recording, photos been taken. News choppers are flying while inside the tower people are dying. Police try to control the streets as every ones heart beats. People believe its just a plane crash but at 9:03 that rumour is smashed. The second tower is hit as ash covers people in the street like a pit. firefighters suit up to enter the blaze but the smoke is so thick there put in a daze. Panic and chaos is all around; as bodies jump from windows to fall a long way down . fire is burning all around inside as news crews flim the outside . People are burning and choking and know that time is getting short . They ring their families to tell them they'll be fine; but in their hearts they know there out of time . The towers come down with a tundering sound as a great symbol of the U.S is now nothing more than a mess. Bodies are burnt and burried; sadness is in everyones face as New York City is left a dusty angry place . Great towers they used to be; but now these towers of NYC are just ones memory.
