9/11,后撞的南塔为何早46分倒?及本世纪最英勇华裔 &《WB翅膀》
来自旧金山(祖籍广东开平)的45岁华裔,邓月薇,是9/11早上第一架被劫持飞往洛杉矶的美国航空公司American Airline 11号航班的乘务员, 在机上被四个恐怖分子控制以后,毫不犹豫地拨通了地面塔台的电话,轻声地与地面取得联系多达22分钟,使得有关部门得到一些的时间准备。
这通电话是在当天早上8点20分左右打的,8点46分飞机撞上世贸北楼,基本上她坚持/fighting到最后一分钟。
那天天气特别晴朗,9:00前听到电视新闻以后,俺大约在9点过一点点,在世贸的对岸,看着北楼顶部(大楼肩膀上)起大火。然后9:03南楼又几乎被第二架飞往洛杉矶的飞机穿透了,这架同样装满汽油的飞机正中撞在南大楼的中上方(胸部位),速度(v) 为590 mph(第一架是440 mph),Momenmum= mass * v,
冲击力 = 飞机重量 乘 飞行速度 (南楼速度快多了又封闭上下燃烧)。
南大楼上端几十层的顿量压迫被烧(断)的钢梁,then整个南楼主体不到十分钟就趴到地上了,比早开火的北楼早了46分钟落地。
World Trade Center 地上燃烧期:北楼8:46-10.28 am, 而南楼9:03-9:59 am。
九一一那天共造成: 2977 人死亡,不包括四架飞机上的恐怖分子。
除了邓月薇(Betty Ann Ong)外, 还有不少英雄, 包括在宾州提前结束UA93号航班飞往DC国会大厦的部分fighting旅客。
下面俺唱首这位加州人Bette Midler 的歌献给加州女英雄Betty An Ong。
"Wind Beneath My Wings"
《风上的翅膀》
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my winds.
