At this moment, there were loud explosions continuously ringingin his ears, and the horrified screaming of the people around him.
Crowds were streaming out onto the streets, fleeing. Looking from above, it was like ants fleeing for their life after their nest was stirred up, countless people were fleeing.
High above, there was smoke billowing from the tower of the trade center, a fiery red fireball exploded instantly at the crash site.
Rolling clouds of smoke streamed up, covering up the higher floors of the tower, it was unknown that how many people had lost their lives in a second without knowing what happened.
The most tragic thing that happened was when some of the survivors who were trapped in the higher floors of the tower were suffocated to death by the smoke, while some opened the windows, tried to jump off the building, but it was a skyscraper of hundreds of meters high, completely cutting off their way out.
“Oh my God!!! Sh*t!!!”
Tommy yelled so loud that he almost lost his voice, causing hoarseness in his voice.
“What the hell happened, is there a war?!”
The whole city was in chaos, the sirens of the fire engines were wailing from every corner of the city. The people in New York City were able to see the plume of black smoke billowing from the tower, covering up the skies once they lifted their heads from every direction.
All of a sudden, it was as if the horrendous fear of the apocalypse had shrouded New York City.
People were screaming and running around like a headless chicken, looking for shelter.
Before this happened, the US nation would have never thought that being a resident of the world’s strongest country would be envelop ed by such terrifying trauma one day.
There were continuous explosions and trembling of the ground, Tommy finally realized that it was dangerous for him to remain there.
He even saw an office worker jumping out from the window from the Twin Towers, hundreds of meters above, and disappeared in the black smoke and fiery blaze.
He could feel the ground shaking as if the skyscraper he was standing on was not safe anymore.
