Personal Narrative: A Day At The World Trade Center

We arrived at the hospital and they unloaded that man with the missing leg first. I was then helped out of the ambulance and taken in the to emergency room where I was placed into a small exam room. It was the one with the curtains that surrounded you that let you could hear everything going on around you. A nurse came in checked my vitals and asked if I needed anything for pain. I told her no and she said the doctor would be in momentarily. It was about thirty minutes until the doctor came it, and the longer I sat there the more I realized my eyes were on fire, I couldn't see very well, and I had laserations everywhere. He apologized for the wait and told me he had more severe patients he had to take care of first. I was completely fine with …show more content…
As a firefighter I had insight, but it was still hard to get information because the government was trying to keep things hidden. That's when I started to question things. I found out that three buildings had fallen at the World Trade Center site. The North Tower, The South Tower, and building number seven. I was confused because building number seven had not been directly hit and I didn’t think the that the debris damage would have caused the building to fall. I also saw how the North and South Towers had fallen. In all my years I had never seen buildings like that fall so easily, without the help of a detonator and explosives. I believe that they wouldn’t have fallen in a straight down manner like they did unless other means of destruction was used. It was almost as if they fell like a building that was being demolished falls. The towers were meant to be strong and was meant to take massive amounts of damage before collapsing. I believe that they would have had to have more damage inflicted in order for them to collapse like they did. In fact in 1993 there was a bombing in the underground garage of the North Tower and it had done significant damage, but comparing the damage it was about the same for both of the Terrorist attacks. I also remember the lobby having sever damage and which shouldn’t have happened because the plane had hit 70 stories up. The only damage that should have happened …show more content…
The one thing that I had questioned the most was building number seven. Reports were coming in that said that the building had burned unnoticed for a couple of hours and that’s why it collapsed, but first responders went and evacuated that building and didn’t notice any large scale problems that would have caused it to collapse. It had fell as if it was demolished instead of falling from structural damage. It fell in 6.5 second from the supposed small fires that were burning. That building was 42 stories. There is no way that fires would cause the building to fall that fast. Then I started to hear conspiracy theories about how it was an inside job and I started to think maybe they were right. Things weren't completely adding up, and the government was quick to hid evidence from the
