Qué horrible fue aquel día para todos.

Estremecedor el momento que tuvieron que vivir aquellas personas por culpa de unos malnacidos.

Gracias por traer su recuerdo.

Recuerdo aquel dia perfectamente. En Barcelona es festivo y yo estaba trabajando en la oficina porque estaba de guardia. Estaba comiendome una hamburguesa, eran las 15.00 horas y algunos minutos. Me telefoneo un compañero de la oficina que me dijo lo de la torre 1, pocos minutos despues estrellaron el segundo avión. Recuerdo que la página web de la CNN estaba colapsada. Luego se hundieron las torres... etc. Pareceia algo irreal.

Saludos

Buenos días, noches o tardes, equipo.

Hoy vengo a hablaros de una curiosidad referente al vuelo 93 de United Airlines que voló aquel fatídico 11 de septiembre de 2001, el cual nunca llegó a su destino, aunque gracias al heroico valor de unos cuantos ocupantes tampoco logró acabar con su segundo objetivo, el objetivo terrorista.

Como todos sabemos, aquel 11 de septiembre de hace 20 años se cobró la vida de aproximadamente 3.000 personas con los ataques a las Torres Gemelas y el Pentágono, pero lo que no todos recordaréis es que hubo un cuarto avión con objetivo Washington (se barajaron como posibles objetivos de dicho avión el Capitolio o la Casa Blanca), que gracias a la valentía de ciertos ocupantes falló en su objetivo y se estrelló en las proximidades de Pensilvania lamentando únicamente las muertes de sus ocupantes.

Los terroristas, tras abatir al piloto y al copiloto, se disponían a cumplir su macabro objetivo, pero unos ocupantes lograron en cierta medida reducir a los 5 terroristas, y finalmente el avión cayó en campo abierto.

¿Por qué os cuento todo esto?
Uno de esos héroes se llamaba Todd Beamer. En la radio del avión se le oye, junto a otros ocupantes del avión cómo logra reducir a los terroristas. Todd Beamer llevaba en su muñeca un Rolex Datejust de 36 milímetros en acero y oro en el momento del atentado, y parte de ese reloj se logró recuperar y hoy día permanece custodiado en el museo de los atentados.

Estas son las imágenes del Rolex:

Pone los pelos de punta observar que el reloj marcó como último día, el día 11, se paró junto con su dueño.

Este era el modelo de reloj:Ver el archivos adjunto 2298145

Y este, Todd Beamer, con su gesto y el de otros, se salvaron muchas vidas, un héroe.

Espero que os haya gustado el miniartículo.

Abrazos a todos.


Fe de erratas: He cambiado el tamaño del reloj de 41 a 36mm, que es su tamaño real.
espectacular, gracias

El día en el que el mundo empezó a ir a peor. Desde ese día, occidente fue como el cangrejo, marcha atrás. Hasta aquel día, siempre pensaba que el mundo iría cada día a mejor, a menos guerras, a menos hambre, a más riqueza….el final de los felices 90.

Ese día estaba enterrando a mi abuelo, y venía de un examen de derecho comunitario. A veces pienso que fue afortunado no viendo en qué se iba convirtiendo el mundo en el que sus descendientes vivirían.

De aquellas, yo usaba mi seiko crono de pila.

Por ampliar un poco la gran historia q el compañero nos ha puesto ... quiero compartir con vosotros la conversacion real de Todd aquel dia, desde el avion, cuando tomó conciencia q vivia un secuestro aereo y que el desenlace era usar el avion a modo de arma destructiva con el fin de generar la mas grande maldad posible. Es un honor poder mencionar hoy y aqui a este gran hombre
A continuacion la conversacion transcrita (esta en ingles pero para el q no entienda el idioma se puede copiar y pegar en el translator)

Todd: Hello… Operator…listen to me…I can’t speak very loud. – This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco.. We have a situation here….Our plane has been hijacked…..can you understand me?
Lisa: (exhaling a deep breath to herself) I understand… Can the hijackers see you talking on the phone?
Todd: No
Lisa: Can you tell me how many hijackers are on the plane?
Todd: There are three that we know of.
Lisa: Can you see any weapons? What kind of weapons do they have?
Todd: Yes…. they don’t have guns….they have knives – they took over the plane with knives.
Lisa: Do you mean…like steak knives?
Todd: No, these are razor knives…like box cutters.
Lisa: Can you tell what country these people are from?
Todd: No…..I don’t know. They sound like they’re from the mid-east.
Lisa: Have they said what they want?
Todd: Someone announced from the cockpit that there was a bomb on board. He said he was the captain and to stay in our seats and stay quiet.
He said that they were meeting these men’s demands and returning to the airport… It was very broken English, and… I’m telling you…it sounded fake!
Lisa: Ok sir, please give me your name.
Todd: My name is Todd Beamer.
Lisa: Ok Todd….my name is Lisa…Do you know your flight number? If you can’t remember, it’s on your ticket.
Todd: It’s United Flight 93.
Lisa: Now Todd, can you try to tell me exactly what happened?
Todd: Two of the hijackers were sitting in first class near the cockpit. A third one was sitting near the back of the coach section. The two up. front got into the cockpit somehow; there was shouting. The third hijacker said he had a bomb. It looks like a bomb. He’s got it tied to his waist with a red belt of some kind.
Lisa: So is the door to the cockpit open?
Todd: No, the hijackers shut it behind them.
Lisa: Has anyone been injured?
Todd: Yes, ..they…they killed one passenger sitting in first class. There’s been lots of shouting. We don’t know if the pilots are dead or alive. A flight attendant told me that the pilot and copilot had been forced from the cockpit and may have been wounded.
Lisa: Where is the 3rd hijacker now Todd?
Todd: He’s near the back of the plane. They forced most of the passengers into first class. There are fourteen of us here in the back. Five are flight attendants. He hasn’t noticed that I slipped into this pantry to get the phone. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor in the rear of the plane……….oh Jesus.. Help!
Lisa: Todd….are you ok? Tell me what’s happening!
Todd: Hello…..We’re going down….I think we’re going to crash……Wait – wait a minute. No, we’re leveling off….we’re ok. I think we may be turning around…..That’s it – we changed directions. Do you hear me….we’re flying east again.
Lisa: Ok Todd…. What’s going on with the other passengers?
Todd: Everyone is… really scared. A few passengers with cell phones have made calls to relatives. A guy, Jeremy, was talking to his wife just before the hijacking started. She told him that hijackers had crashed two planes into the World Trade Center……Lisa is that true??
Lisa: Todd…..I have to tell you the truth…..it’s very bad. The World Trade Center is gone. Both of the towers have been destroyed.
Todd: Oh God —help us!
Lisa: A third plane was taken over by terrorists. It crashed into the Pentagon in Washington DC. Our country is under attack….and I’m afraid that your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh dear God. Dear God…….Lisa, will you do something for me?
Lisa: I’ll try….if I can….Yes.
Todd: I want you to call my wife and my kids for me and tell them what’s happened. Promise me you’ll call..
Lisa: I promise – I’ll call.
Todd: Our home number is 201 353-1073…….You have the same name as my wife…Lisa….We’ve been married for 10 years. She’s pregnant with our 3rd child. Tell her that I love her…….(choking up)..I’ll always love her..(clearing throat) We have two boys.. David, he’s 3 and Andrew, he’s 1…..Tell them……(choking) tell them that their daddy loves them and that he is so proud of them. (clearing throat again) Our baby is due January 12th…..I saw an ultra sound…..it was great….we still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy………Lisa?
Lisa: (barely able to speak) I’ll tell them, I promise Todd.
Todd: I’m going back to the group—if I can get back I will…
Lisa: Todd, leave this line open…are you still there?……
Lisa: (dials the phone..) Hello, FBI, my name is Lisa Jefferson, I’m a telephone supervisor for GTE. I need to report a terrorist hijacking of a United Airlines Flight 93….Yes I’ll hold.
Goodwin: Hello, this is Agent Goodwin.. I understand you have a hijacking situation?
Lisa: Yes sir, I’ve been talking with a passenger, a Todd Beamer, on Flight 93 who managed to get to an air phone unnoticed.
Goodwin: Where did this flight originate, and what was its destination?
Lisa: The flight left Newark New Jersey at 8 A.M. departing for San Francisco. The hijackers took over the plane shortly after takeoff, and several minutes later the plane changed course – it is now flying east.
Goodwin: Ms. Jefferson…I need to talk to someone aboard that plane. Can you get me thru to the planes phone?
Lisa: I still have that line open sir, I can patch you through on a conference call…hold a mo…..
Todd: Hello Lisa, Lisa are you there?
Lisa: Yes, I’m here. Todd, I made a call to the FBI, Agent Goodwin is on the line and will be talking to you as well.
Todd: The others all know that this isn’t your normal hijacking. Jeremy called his wife again on his cell phone. She told him more about the World Trade Center and all.
Goodwin: Hello Todd. This is Agent Goodwin with the FBI. We have been monitoring your flight. Your plane is on a course for Washington, DC. These terrorists sent two planes into the World Trade Center and one plane into the Pentagon. Our best guess is that they plan to fly your plane into either the White House or the United States Capital Building.
Todd: I understand…hold on……I’ll…….I’ll be back..
Lisa: Mr. Goodwin, how much time do they have before they get to Washington?
Goodwin: Not long ma’am. They changed course over Cleveland; they’re approaching Pittsburgh now. Washington may be twenty minutes away.
Todd: (breathing a little heavier) The plane seems to be changing directions just a little. It’s getting pretty rough up here. The plane is flying real erratic….We’re not going to make it out of here. Listen to me….I want you to hear this….I have talked with the others….we have decided we would not be pawns in these hijackers suicidal plot.
Lisa: Todd, what are you going to do?
Todd: We’ve hatched a plan. Four of us are going to rush the hijacker with the bomb. After we take him out, we’ll break into the cockpit. A stewardess is getting some boiling water to throw on the hijackers at the controls. We’ll get them….and we’ll take them out. Lisa, …..will you do one last thing for me?
Lisa: Yes…What is it?
Todd: Would you pray with me?
They pray: Our father which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive our trespassers,
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory
Forever…..Amen
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want…
He makes me to lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside the still waters
He restores my soul
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for thou art with me…..
Todd: (softer) God help me…Jesus help me….(clears throat and louder)
Are you guys ready?……..
