For the first time, the government played 911 audiotapes of two people trapped inside the World Trade Center, each screaming into the phone while trying desperately to summon emergency crews to burning offices high above Manhattan.
"I'm going to die, aren't I?" cried Melissa Doi, 32, who said she was lying on the floor, trying to find fresh air in a south tower engulfed in smoke and fire.
Sixteen stories above her, on the 99th floor, Kevin Cosgrove, 46, cried, "I'm not ready to die!"
Both died that day.
So did Peter Hanson, his wife, Sue Kim, and their 2-year-old daughter, Christine Lee, who was the youngest person to die in the terrorist attacks.
The family was trapped on United Airlines Flight 175, which ultimately would crash into the south tower of New York's World Trade Center. Twice Hanson called his father. During the last call, in which he described passengers vomiting as the plane rumbled nearly out of control, he said: "Don't worry, Dad. If it happens, it will happen quickly."
"He told us the plane had been hijacked," his father told the jury."
"He thought a stewardess had been killed," his father said. "He said certainly somebody else was piloting the plane. He said it was a very bumpy ride and people were throwing up all over the place. He said he thought they were going to crash the plane into a building."
Three times he heard his son call out: "Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God." The father said, "I thought I heard somebody scream in the background too. I looked at the TV and saw the plane fly into the World Trade Center."

Sadly, many have forgotten!
Disgraceful politicians have made decisions for their own personal gain...they have not secured this country.
Someone just posted the position of the Constitution Party on Terror. It was all our fault according to the Constipationists.
I am numb with horror all over again.
That fact (among others) makes me wish we could get every single one of them OUT and start fresh. Remind them who pays the bills, and that they are not sent to Washington to play games.
They forgot because the MSM pulled the videos within one week of the attack. 9/11 was the worst thing to happen to the globalist minded leaders/elite in this country. For 20 years elite colleges were hammering internationalism into the heads of students and multiculturalism to stamp out American notion of national identity. Purpose is to prepare the Americans for an economical system where goods, services and PEOPLE will flow back and forth. 9/11 awaken that patriotism, just look at the polls as Americans are uncomfortable with the Dubai port deal and illegal immigrants. The feelings cross party lines and our two major political parties are scrambling to reassert control.
Words fail me.
You are completely wrong. It has become nearly impossible for terrorists to operate inside this nation as ring after ring has been busted up and thwarted. President Bush has been remarkably successful in driving al Queda into Iraq where we are killing them.
That was my reaction to it, as well.
We should've launched on islam that night. So stupid that we haven't still.
and yet many people have forgotten. it makes me furious. i had friends in those towers who were lucky to make it down in time. the scene in those airplanes sounds horrible beyond imagination.
If he participated in the murder of one person, and is guilty, justice says that's it: death.
That we're going through this as if it weighs on the penalty is not good.
Never forget, Amen.
Full screen, speakers UP!

The MSM wanted us to cry and feel guilty for having provoked such hatred on the part of Turd World Muslims. We needed to get angry and stay angry.
youtube.com has plenty of 911 videos, including a photomontage of every victim set to Enya's Only Time. Highly recommended, and once you start viewing it you'll instantly understand why the Mainly Slime Media has blacked out 911.
It includes the individuals mentioned in this post.
