Long Lost 9/11 Note

Read from: http://edition.cnn.com/2012/09/11/us/9-11-lost-note/index.html?hpt=us_t5

Summary: Randy Scott was working on the 84th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center. But he dies on September 11, due to the terrorists. Because he was in a very close place to the plane’s point of impact, his family had thought that Randy died instantly without suffering, or feeling any fear. However, it came out to be not true when they found the little note of Randy. The note reads: “84th floor… West Office… 12 people trapped”. It shows that he was not only alive after impact, but actively trying to get help. His friend stated that Randy broke the window and tried to help 12 people downstairs. However, the South Tower collapsed shortly after that. We would like to honor his bravery and mourn over his death.

My opinion: There were a lot of loss due to the 9/11 terror. People who had stayed in the building might fear with the horror. As the terror was not a justice, the loss of them is really impacting the Americans a lot. Then this year, Randy was found out that he was a brave man just after the plane has destroyed the building. Rather than waiting for death, he tried to help other people first. He wasn’t tremble nor nervous, when we see his handwriting notes. I hope his death will be more honored as a brave man and be a time to remind 500 days after 9/11. We also should not educate people like this to do this kind of terror.
