I've been watching the news the whole morning, and this is the biggest and worst terrorist attack of all times. It's worse than Pearl Harbor, worse than Hiroshima and Nagazaki, not because of the number of victims, but because of the political and economical implications of such a surreal event.
USA is the brain of the civilized world, the most powerfull nation on Earth, and look what just happened to them. I'm really, really shocked, frightened about what is gonna happen from now on. George bush said that's gonna be retaliation, as soon as they can find out the authors of this horrible crime.
Early in the morning, a Boing 767 crashed on one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, in Manhattan, the heart of USA economy. The american people stared trying to believe as if they were in a weird nightmare. 18 minutes later, a second Boing 767 crashed on the second tower, making what seemed to be unbelieveble to become worse. Televisions of teh whole World showed the exact moment when the second plane crashed into a huge ball of fire. There were aproximately 40 thousand people in those buildings, in the moment of the attack. One hour later, the structure of the two buildings, injured by the collisions, fell apart, and both buildings disapeared in a cloud of smoke.
Another airplane crashed on the Pentagon, in Washington, the military core of the USA. A fouth airplane crashed before it could get to it destiny, killing only the people in the plane. Otehr four irplanes are missing, and the menace is not over.
This dark episode reflected in the whole world, many countries in Europe are taking actions to protect themselves against simmilar terrorist attacks, no terrorist group have already claimed responsability of the attacks. We'll have to stay tuned to know how this is gonna end.
