The then President of the USA George Bush, was on a tour of a school in Florida. While he was on the way, his White House Cheif of Staff was informed of this crash. He tells George Bush but Bush couldn’t believe it. He says that it’s unbelievable that anyone could even do that. He says that surely the pilot would’ve suffered a heart attack that’s why the plane crashed into the building. How else could it happen?
Only 17 minutes later it comes to be known the United Airlines Flight 175 had also been hijacked. By 5 hijackers. Once again, the hijackers overpowered the pilots and take away the control of the plane. Because only 17 minutes after the first crash, these hijackers once again turn towards the World Trade Center and crashed the plane into the South Tower. The second crash into the second tower.
By this time, US President George Bush had reached the school. And was in a classroom. With the children of 2nd grade. He was in the midst of a reading exercise named The Pet Goat. This time, his Cheif of Staff Andrew Gadd, went in the classroom, and whispered into his ears.
“America is under attack.”
But George Bush stays in the classroom. He continued the reading exercise. And for the next 7 minutes the exercise continued. He interacted with the children. He took photos with the children and the teachers, Complimented the children. These 7 minutes were very critical because in these 7 minutes, the news spread worldwide that two planes crashed into the World Trade Centre.
