The Unthinkable 9-11 and Beyond - Part 1, with Demons in Our Midst (Paperback, illustrated edition)

The Unthinkable 9-11 and Beyond tells the story of how terrorists struck directly at the heart of America. They used two huge Boeing 767 airplanes loaded with 11,000 gallons of jet fuel, crashing them into the World Trade Center 110 story twin towers. The support beams were pushed to the melting point by 2,000-degree flames "super heated" by jet fuel. As the two towers burned, American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757, crashed into the West side of the Pentagon. Less than an hour later, United Flight 93 with 45 people aboard crashed into a field in Shanksville, PA. It is believed the passengers, now aware of what was happening, were trying to regain control of the airplane from the hijacker. Flight 93's target was the White House. Back in New York, the South Tower was the first to surrender to its mortal wounds. The support beams buckled outward, unable to support the upper floors. The floors pan caked one on top of the other causing what appeared to be an implosion, trapping anyone still inside. Shortly after the South Tower collapsed, the North Tower came down. America wept as the World stood still in shock and awe. But the spirit of America inspired the World to unite together to battle terrorism now and in the future.
