8 YEARS AGO the most horrendous, provocative act of terrorism happened at the WTC Twin Towers in New York City on this date September 11, 2001. It was shocking! Almost everyone of us watching the news, hearing the news on television was amazed and in total shock. Who wont be? Actually I first thought it was a "movie of some kind." Then the news progressed for more than an hour when another airplane hit the other building. It was pandemonium! The news spread like wildfire and almost everyone knew the story as it spread throughout the world through cable news, alert news, breaking news, through the news media, paper, tabloids, radio, most especially through the internet and those with cellphones . You name every source of news and there was only one kind of news that particular day and for the rest of the year. Until now they cannot erase that very sad tragic act of terrorism. More news, more pictures coming out in the open. People never stop at having to relate the fatal news to almost everyone they encountered with at place of work, with their family, friends, to any one they've talked to even on the streets, on the market, in the church, restaurants, etc.
In my thought that day how could 2 planes full of passengers will hit the twin towers? Unless it was out of control. Why would these terrorists will end up their lives on something unreasonable? What's the motive? What's behind the motive? Was it really terrorism? Or just mind-boggling special effects or FX? Or there are really no casualty except that they want the building destroyed because it was unsafe and not secured. You know what I mean. I don't know the real reason behind about the event. I'm just an eyewitness watching it on television while the reporters keep on blabbing the disaster after disaster series of events. Scary! I can't figure out if it was real because most action packed movies have that same kind of explosions or FX illusions for the viewers to feel awed and moved by the special effects. Sa tutuo lang mas nakakatakot yung ASTEROIDS and COMETS. Mag AJAX kaya kayo?
As the news transpired and then later on watching the drama unfold and the television news network provided some photographs...I noticed one thing. There are few pictures shown on TV that I think have seen from an old Panorama magazine that was dated Year 1975. What a coincidence!
Anyway, Year 2001 is like an Odyssey. You know that movie don't 'ya? The science fiction Space Odyssey: 2001. What's the relevance of that movie to that WTC? Malay ko! Maybe the world's debts are in TRILLIONS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and nobody can repay what they owed. Each one of us are indebted. Hindi pa isinisilang yung ibang sanggol ay may utang na.
Puede ring sabihin mo na parang 2 sigarilyong umuusok ang building na yun. It's more like end of the tobacco industry. Or puede ring birthday kasi ni Pres. FM yung day na yun kaya may 2 silvery colored candles . Naku birth anniversary nya ngayon. Happy Birthday Pres. Marcos!
