Effect Of Heidi In Flight 116

On September 11, 2001, four different planes were hijacked by terrorists. Two of them headed for the Twin Towers, the other headed for the Pentagon and the other nobody really knows for sure. The two that were headed for the Twin Towers, sadly made it there and crashed into both of them, they collapsed. The one headed toward the Pentagon also made it there. But the other plane didn’t make it to wherever it was supposed to be going, because of some brave passengers trying to take control of the plane and crashing it into a field, sacrificing their selves to save everyone else. (9/11 Mystery: What Was Flight 93 's Target?)

At the scene of the bombing, “A local hospital administrator explained modestly, ‘With the enormous outpouring of medical volunteers we received, it would have been nearly impossible not to have done a great job’” (Ray 2). After the terrorist attack of the twin towers, it was the survivors of the Oklahoma City Bombing who gave the 9/11 victims the most effective support. Janet Walker made the statement, “We’re the only ones who can truly say, ‘I know how you feel’ (Tanner 1). Kathleen Treanor, a woman who lost her daughter and both of her in-laws, said “It’s an immediate connection” (Tanner 1).

Throughout the video, I felt sad for all the people that died and for those who witnessed the incident on that moment. I asked myself, what if I was in that situation, maybe on the streets or maybe in the buildings that were hit. I can’t even imagine being on the planes that were hijacked. I’d would be scared

September 19th, 2001 the twin towers underwent an attack by two hijacked planes. Many lives were lost not only in the collapse of the towers, but also the crash itself including the life of Sara Low, age 28. That day she was an attendant on one of the planes. Her wings, which she wore to represent her training as a flight attendant would come to mean much more than just her qualifications. They would come to portray something much more. They would come to represent how America always bounces back from tragedy and how we will never forgot those who were lost.

As blood trickled down the flight attendant’s neck, the screams of passengers echoed while hoping and praying that it was not their time to perish. A dark-skinned man headed towards the front of the plane, claiming the pilot as his next victim. As this occurred within the four other planes, hostages aboard knew they were living the last few moments of their life. Each tear and scream would ultimately be their last-their last breath taken as the plane crashed into a building of peace, dying with the thought of “I should have said goodbye,” as their lives were taken away in seconds by strangers. Thousands of innocent lives were lost, as well as the hearts of millions of others worldwide who felt the repercussion and heartbreak of these terrorist attacks. The Tuesday morning of September 11, 2001, swept worldwide panic and sorrow, naming itself the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil to date. Nineteen terrorists, four planes, and millions of hearts broken later, the world was now split into the ‘before’ and ‘after’ of 9/11, impacting our environment tremendously both physically and psychologically.

Although she didn't know anyone in New York at the time, she did watch one of the hijacked planes -Which Later Crashed in a field in Pennsylvania- fly over her home at the time in Carrollton, Ohio. She was getting ready to go to work, when she turned on the T.V. And saw what had happened.

Karly Segrave was a fifteen year old girl when Hurricane Katrina Hit. Her mother worked at St. Tammany Parish Hospital, so when it was time to evacuate she stuffed everything she could into a backpack and went on her way. Most of the employees at the hospital brought their familys with them, so space was limited. Karly slept under her mothers cubical for three weeks. “At first it was fun,” she watched movies, played games, and had tons of people to talk to. Then days turned into weeks and the hospital begun to run low on food. She began to realize that it wasn’t all fun and games.

One night in the winter, Miss Maudie’s house caught fire. The Abbottsville fire truck was pumping water and the fire awoke the whole town. “In the heat between our house, Miss Rachel’s and Miss Maudie’s, the men had long ago shed coats and bathrobes. They worked in pajama tops and nightshirts stuffed into their pants…” (Lee 80) The neighbors definitely show compassion in this part of the story. The neighbors definitely show compassion in this part of the story. Although it was late at night and frigid outside, the neighbors still jumped out of bed to help. Instead of standing outside watching her house burn down and being pitiful, they jumped right in the house to help her out. They didn’t need be friends with her or have knowledge of her well enough just to help her. No one needed to climb out of their beds to help, yett they chose to, because it was the right thing to do and they were neighbors and that’s what neighbors

The terrorist attack of 9/11 was a very tragic time for many Americans especially those who lost loved ones. Karyn Ramsey, an American Airlines employee lost her roommate, Sara Elizabeth Low that was a flight attendant on Flight 11 the morning of the attack. Karyn’s wing are symbols of many things. However their meanings shift from before 9/11 and after.

Compassionate individuals are essential to the recovery of individuals who have experienced extreme trauma. In The Girl who Fell from the Sky, by Heidi Durrow, Drew, Aunt Loretta's fiance before her death was always a presence in Rachel’s life. After the death of Loretta, Rachel’s grandmother began drinking heavily, leaving Rachel on her own again. Drew stepped in and became a reliable parent figure for Rachel, helping her even though he was not fully aware of her situation, “ ‘And the blues-- it’s like that bottle... It’s full of those feelings that are in there, but beautiful and growing too.’

As Intervention Program Director/Family Advocate for the Pike Regional Child Advocacy/Family Resource Center (PRCA/FRC), I have had the pleasure of working professionally with Mrs. Heidi Cook for approximately 3 years.

I agree with Nacole that it is important for our first responders to be well trained so, they can notice a victim when they see one. They could have lead her back to her family sooner and called her parents.

Ha and many other refugees will have many moments that will make them remember their old home. This made Ha feel good about herself when she did this, Ha says “I know pink boy will get me, but right now I feel smart” (Lai 185). She feels smart because she found out a way that pink boy won’t bully her after school. It reminds her when she would go to the food market and get smaller proportions of everything so she could get a snack. Next is when a refugee is feeling good, “...don’t know where Bosnia is but they’re really nice and try to help”(). One refugee that went to Bosnia was having a good time there because the people were nice and trying to help. Also Ha gets a papaya for a present, Ha said “Not the same, but not bad at all” (Lai 234).
