UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This just in. You are looking at obviously a very disturbing liveshot there. That is the World Trade Center and we have unconfirmed reports this morning thata plane has crashed into one of the towers.

最新消息。大家將看到令人極度不安的直播片段。這里是世界貿(mào)易中心，我們今天早上收到的未經(jīng)證實的消息稱，一架飛機撞上了其中一座大樓。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Another one just hit the building. Wow.

身份不明的男性：另一架飛機撞上了大樓。天哪。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There are no words.

身份不明的男性：無法用言語來形容。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It appears that something hit the Pentagon on the outside of the 5thcorridor.

身份不明的男性：看起來有什么撞上了五角大樓外面的第五走廊。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We have a report now that a large plane crashed this morning northof the Summerset County Airport which is in Western Pennsylvania.

身份不明的男性：我們剛收到消息，今天早上一架大型飛機在位于賓夕法尼亞州西部的薩默塞特縣機場以北墜毀。

CARL AZUZ, CNN 10 ANCHOR: It all started at 8:45 on a clear Tuesday morning. We had alive camera up on what looked like a smoking slash across one of the World Trade CenterTowers. A passenger plane had flown into it and I remember some of us here at CNN thinkingthis was some sort of freak event. Then a second plane flew into the other tower. That was at9:03 a.m. and at that point there was this deepening dread in everyone.

CNN10分鐘新聞主持人卡爾•阿祖茲：這一切始于一個晴朗周二的早上8點45分?，F(xiàn)場直播攝像機記錄到的畫面顯示，世界貿(mào)易中心雙子塔的其中一座大樓布滿濃煙。一架客機撞上了該座大樓，我還記得當時CNN有些人認為那是怪異的事件。之后，第二架飛機撞上了另一座大樓。當時是上午9點03分，那時所有人都深感恐懼。

Something was wrong in a way we'd never seen before. Airports, bridges, tunnels in New Yorkand New Jersey shutdown. Within 30 minutes, President George W. Bush said we were underan apparent terrorist attack and minutes after that every airport in the country was closed. That had never happened before.

事情有些不對勁，而且這是我們以前從未見過的情況。紐約和新澤西州的機場、大橋以及隧道全部關閉。不到30分鐘之后，時任美國總統(tǒng)喬治•沃克•布什表示，我們顯然是遭到了恐怖襲擊，幾分鐘之后，美國所有機場全部關閉。這在以前從未發(fā)生過。

It wasn't over though. At 9:43 a.m., a third passenger jet crashed into the Pentagon. Darksmoke rolled up from that part of that huge building.

但是事情還沒有結(jié)束。上午9點43分，第三架客機撞上了五角大樓。黑煙不斷從那座巨型建筑中冒出。

All lives and many cameras were on that and the two burning towers in New York. And as all ofus watched at 10:05, one of those towers gave way where it was smoking. The top partcrushing down on the rest of it and sending up debris in boiling gray clouds. Five minutes laterpart of the Pentagon collapsed and a fourth hijacked jet crashed in a rural part ofPennsylvania. The White House, the United Nations, the State and Justice Departments, theWorld Bank all evacuated. America bound Atlantic flights were rerouted to Canada and thesecond Trade Center Tower came down at 10:28.

所有直播攝像機和無數(shù)鏡頭聚焦這一事件和紐約正在燃燒的雙子塔。上午10點05分，我們所有人都看到了雙子塔其中一座正在冒煙的大樓倒塌的畫面。該建筑從頂部開始坍塌，壓毀大樓其他部分，瞬間變成一片廢墟并升起了熾熱的灰云。5分鐘之后，五角大樓局部結(jié)構(gòu)坍塌，第四架被劫持飛機在賓夕法尼亞州偏遠地區(qū)墜毀。白宮、聯(lián)合國總部、美國國務院、司法部以及世界銀行內(nèi)的工作人員全部撤離。大西洋航空公司飛往美國的航班改飛加拿大，上午10點28分，雙子塔另一座大樓倒塌。

So many closings, evacuations, shutdowns, except for emergency response teams, theheroes of 9/11, the country virtually stopped what it was doing and gathered around TVscreens. The President appeared just after 1 p.m. and asked Americans to pray and therewasn't much else we could do. The destruction was more or less done around 10:30. It wasless than two hours from the first crash but the change it inflicted was immeasurable. MoreAmericans were killed on September 11th, 2001 than on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in1941. And when President Bush addressed the nation that night at 8:30, his tone was one ofsympathy, resolve and warning to anyone who'd planned or supported the attacks.

當時美國封閉并關閉了許多設施，同時開展了大規(guī)模的撤離行動，除了9•11英雄應急響應小組之外，美國幾乎停止了一切活動，所有人都聚集到電視屏幕前。下午1點過后，總統(tǒng)出現(xiàn)在電視上，希望美國人開始祈禱，除此之外沒有多少我們可以做的事情。上午10點30分左右，損毀基本上結(jié)束。當時距離第一次撞機不到兩個小時，但是這起事件帶來的變化是不可估量的。2011年9月11日這天死亡的美國人數(shù)量，比日本1941年襲擊珍珠港時造成的死亡人數(shù)還要多。當天晚上8點30分，時任總統(tǒng)布什發(fā)表全國講話，他向任何計劃或支持這種襲擊的人喊話，他的語氣是同情、堅定和警告中的一種。

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: We will make no distinction between the terrorists whocommitted these acts and those who harbor them.

喬治•沃克•布什總統(tǒng)：我們將對恐怖分子和那些庇護他們的人一視同仁，決不姑息。

CARL AZUZ: In the difficult days that followed, we learned that the Al- Qaida terrorist groupled by Osama Bin Laden was responsible for all of this. And America's attention and angerturned to Afghanistan who's Taliban leaders were giving Al-Qaida a safe place to live andoperate.

卡爾•阿祖茲：在事件發(fā)生之后的那段困難時期，我們得知奧薩馬•本•拉登領導的“基地”恐怖組織是這一切悲劇的罪魁禍首。隨后美國的注意力和憤怒轉(zhuǎn)向了阿富汗，該國當時的塔利班領導人為“基地”組織提供了生活和開展行動的庇護之地。
