When the two little guys left the room, Ryan sat in front of the computer and kept flipping around between several blog websites and portals. He had long forgotten the specific time of the incident. He only remembered that it was after 8 a.m. Eastern Time on September 11, and the time difference seemed to be almost the same.

"What are you looking at?" Natalie also walked over, "Do you want to see the comments on the Internet with your own eyes?"

"Nothing." Ryan clicked on another link to the blog website.

"Do you need me to leave?"

The person who spoke was Scarlett sitting alone on the side, "I feel like an extra-large light bulb now."

"Ska." Natalie glared at the smiling girl.

This is a blog that mainly records private logs. After the page was refreshed, Ryan finally saw the long-awaited picture. Although the smokey building was blurry, the simple text description below is enough to prove that something happened on time.

"Ska, switch to NBC TV." Ryan reminded the bored girl who was playing with the TV remote control.

"What happened?" Natalie asked curiously.

"The Twin Towers seem to have caught fire."

There was no detailed explanation on the blog, so Ryan had to say something vaguely.

Scarlett Johnson was quickly transferred to NBC TV, and a relaxed and pleasant scene appeared in the picture. The live broadcast program "Today's Show" is in progress. The host Katie Currick was still happily talking about "The autumn morning in Manhattan is so beautiful...'

Did you remember the TV station wrongly? Ryan couldn't help but frown slightly.

At this moment, the picture switched to the cheering people on the streets of Manhattan, and then the smoke rolled in the distance, which served as the background.

"What happened?" Natalie and Scarlett asked at the same time, "Is there a fire in the World Trade Center?"

"Continue to watch." Ryan shook his head and said that he didn't know.

After waiting for a while, NBC's footage finally brought it closer to the World Trade Center. A news host stood in the camera and said hurriedly, "The following is emergency news. At around 8:45 ET today, the North Tower of the World Trade Center Twin Towers was attacked by an unknown object. According to witnesses, it is likely that it was an aircraft or missile..."

Then, the camera gives the North Tower a close-up, with the thick smoke and flames clearly visible.

"Oh God." The two girls had already covered their mouths.

Ryan recalled the information confirmed half an hour ago that no one of his relatives and friends was near the World Trade Center, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

I am not a saint or a great man. All I can take care of and help are the closest people around me.

"This is not a terrorist attack, right..."

As soon as Natalie finished speaking, a jaw-dropping scene appeared on the TV. A civil aviation aircraft crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, and suddenly a raging fire was ignited like the North Tower. Screams, noises and sirens were chaotic, as if the whole of New York was in the doomsday.

"O God!"

"O God!"

The reactions of the two girls who witnessed all this can be imagined. Strictly speaking, they are both New York girls.

"Isn't this true?"

The younger Scarlett was still murmuring. Natalie had already picked up the mobile phone and dialed the number of her parents far away in New York. After hearing the words from the opposite side, she breathed a sigh of relief and leaned on Ryan's back.

"New York suffered a terrorist attack."

Scott and Pie Kinsley rushed into the study, "Ryan..."

"I saw it." Ryan signaled the TV screen to them. "Scott, the stock market will definitely plummet, be prepared for it."

"I see."

A few minutes later, the TV station reported the latest news that the National Aviation Administration banned any aircraft from entering New York, Boston and Washington airspace, and the New York City government also closed all tunnels and bridges.

Subsequently, US President Bush, who was visiting an elementary school classroom in Florida, received news that a second plane had hit the World Trade Center. He immediately made a brief speech in another classroom of the school after the class. He said that the United States was attacked by terrorists and the US government will conduct a comprehensive investigation into the cause of the plane crash, saying that the incident was a "national tragedy."

Then, everything that happened in the previous life happened, and everyone witnessed the collapse of the North Tower and the South Tower...

"Dear, our holiday is over."

Ryan gently patted Natalie on the back and said to George, who had been silent. "Import Captain Smith and be ready to return to Los Angeles at any time."

If the IT stock myth is shattered and ends another golden age of the US economy, then this terrorist attack brings all-round changes to American society.

This incident is the second attack on the United States in history that caused major casualties after the Pearl Harbor incident during World War II. The Bush Mansion's condemnation and stance on the incident has also been sympathized and supported by most countries.

In particular, Bush Jr. delivered a televised speech to the nation at the White House, "Terrorism attacks can shake the foundations of our largest buildings, but cannot touch the foundations of the United States. These terrorist actions destroyed steel, but could not weaken the strong American steel-like determination in the slightest.

This TV speech also brought the public approval rating of the president who was nicknamed as only higher than that of pigs, reaching the highest peak of his eight-year term, up to 89.58%.

Terrorist attacks have changed the lives of Americans. The tourism, aviation and insurance industries have suffered a huge blow. Ordinary people have more inspection procedures when taking planes. A little mention of the topic of planes and bombs will cause a lot of trouble. These have also brought significant changes to Hollywood. All powerful celebrities have begun to purchase their own private jets.

Of course, these are not problems for the rich people who have reached the level of Ryan.

The federal government soon formally determined that it was a terrorist attack and subsequently determined that the murderer was al-Qaeda.

In his previous life, conspiracy theories about this incident emerged one after another. Ryan didn't want to explore it, nor did he have to. What he wanted to consider was how to use this incident to bring the greatest benefits to himself.

As for whether it was done by the federal government itself, even if a pig sits in the presidential position, it will not issue such an order. At most, it will be like Pearl Harbor, and then the interests will be maximized...

This is a federal country. If the foundation of founding laid by the "fathers of the Nation" is broken, the United States will inevitably fall apart. What are the benefits of actually controlling the capital of this country?

Also as Ryan expected, the gossip about him that had been hyped in the media before, came to an abrupt end after this incident.

After the federal government determined that it was a terrorist attack, Ryan and the people surrounding him publicly condemned the terrorist act. That night, he and Natalie and others lit candles on the port of Lanai to mourn the victims.

In the following time, he contacted Hollywood celebrities one after another, either publicly issued a statement of condemnation, or was interviewed to comfort the families of victims or the sacrificed firefighters.

"Part, in my name, invites all qualified movie stars and singers in Hollywood."

On the yacht back to Los Angeles, Ryan told Jinsley about his follow-up plan, "A large-scale memorial service will be held after the sadness in the United States is calmed down."

After returning to Los Angeles, Ryan began to wander among many big names in Hollywood, including Tom Hanks in the film industry, Julia Roberts in the music industry, Michael Jackson in the music industry, Madonna Siconi, Maria Carey in the directorship, James Cameron in the directorship, George Lucas, Stephen Spielberg, etc.

These people quickly joined, and Ryan became the veritable leader.

Any star with a little brain will not miss this moment and join in. NBC TV promised to broadcast the event live throughout the whole process.

A week after the disaster, the whole United States seemed to have woken up from the pain, and severe punishment of the murderers and mourning the victims became the theme of social activities. Therefore, this evening party with charity fundraising and mourning also kicked off.

"There is a hero, if you look deep in your heart..."

At the party, Ryan, who had long since retired from the pop music scene, sang the "Hero" he composed and composed with Maria Carey.

"Then a hero comes, full of strength and continues, throwing your fear aside, you understand that you can survive, so when you feel hope is broken, face yourself and be strong, and finally you will discover this fact, you are the hero!"

The audience sat in the seats of the Hollywood Balcony Theater and stood in the surrounding aisles, with lights illuminating on them, with tears on their faces.

When the camera looked around, there were too many people crying in the picture, and the song was full of infectiousness.

"Don't let anyone break our dreams, hold on for a while, hope is ahead..."

This song brings the atmosphere of the party to the most "gaochao".

"For the past week, we have been immersed in great sorrow, but the pain in our hearts will never be as good as families who have lost their loved ones."

Ryan stood on the shell-shaped stage, surrounded by solemnity, "May this song bring them hope and strength."

Then, he left the stage. At this time, actions were more powerful than words. The whole United States was still immersed in pain. There was no need to boast about some things. The media was paying attention to him.

The day after the party, mainstream media reported the party on the front page, and put Ryan as the organizer and leader, and used a huge amount of space to describe the fact that Ryan donated 50 million US dollars to the relevant charitable foundations.

Therefore, mainstream media selectively forget some things, and even if mentioned, they will try to pass them briefly. At a time when the whole United States works together to overcome difficulties, unity and the topic of 9/11 are the real focus.

Even if the tabloids will raise this topic after the incident is calmed down, the effect of stir-frying cold rice is much worse.
