Tuesday 11 September 2001.


Was 17.30 hours (GMT+ 2) I look myself at TV initially believing that it a film. And however I still don't understood why do exist the comment and in particularly in Romanian. Soon I understand that was the end of a reportage and more, it was reality. Why I caught only the ends and not from the begin? Is terrible of to explains this thing, this is a characteristic of a rural civilization from the East of Europe . Therefore it is not wonderment if at that time we don't was known much many about World Trade Center just as such it knows in the civilization from the European Union. How was of waited the western peoples has entered serious in the panic. Indeed there is terrific to see how the civilization and the uppermost American technologies summits they crash from a stupid motives.

And why I should care myself? For instance for me then it was more important the day of 12, September, a day that it proven to be more terrible (or fearful) than that of a survivor saved from below ruins of WTC. Or more accurate, at least for me all days are more terrible than the day of September 11, 2001 for Manhattan.

In the second day don't exist the newspaper world which to don't debates in the first pages the history of terrorist attack of yesterday. But they are the journalists, this is their job. All TV news journals from world TV channels at front with CNN, CBS News and Euronews were begging theirs news editions with images from New York. All national and local TV and radio stations, and all world radio services contested same things: America under terror. But more terrible than the disasters (small for the power of existence of United States) is what it ensued afterwards particularly it supposing who is the authors of attempts.

Enters now in scene the civilization of Middle Orient. It must to happen something so that western civilization they ask about of Islamic religion and culture, of Afgan civilization. The Afghanistan existed and before of September 11, 2001 but in the middle of advanced civilization not existed interest for knowledge of a peoples from South-West Africa, for example. At the common men from European Union, USA or Canada don't interests it if he has enough knowledges about eastern culture and civilization. Afghanistan was a country about which the majority of men without political, administrative or territorial functions they knowing nearly nothing, neither at least geographic location. As example, a reporter’s team from Romanian Television interviewed sometime on several Chicago citizens if they are heard at least of Romania. They are Americans which not known in what mainland is Romania.

The milieu of American businessmen not to must to feel affected after terrorist attack if before of September 11 at their business like they acting as the men which they known geographic position of all countries from Africa, for example. Naturally, the African countries they are nothing connexion with the events from September 11, but it was thinking nobody that, though extreme poorness can represent sometime an emergency for the West world riches of all the points of view.

Along of history of the Terra’s habitants they knew more critical situations, for instance mass killing (massacre) of the Jews or the atomic bombs from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On 11 September has died less of 10 000 of peoples - the USA population exceeds 300 of millions.

For the heroes attempts from the world supercivilized they added the biggest film and music stars from US and United Kingdom in a concert with the donation, but for the deaths from Hiroshima, Nagasaki or for Holocaust’s victims they not sang in the New York City (the most influential city from the world). It does not matter if they song at Tokyo or Berlin. What easy can be dupe the peoples, actually and from West In order that to look at “Pearl Harbor” you must to be affect of a similar action with one from film, what to be take place in the reality. Therefore we can draw conclusion that if a extraterrestrial ship of very large sizes it should attack a US city - Washington DC or New York (particularly Whitehouse or Empire State Building) then the Western peoples and not only, they would see afresh at Independence Day. And yet in mass.

However, the public spaces among the tier from airplanes what they bang of World Trade Center were much more cleans than village’s roads what they are full of mud or dust from rural zones what exist in the underprivileged countries of Terra. An on these roads people circulating whenever the airplanes collision with the WTC towers. Who were happier, the ones from the chairs of airplane while they were nearing in fantastic mode of American superior technology symbol or the ones what circulating in that time in the poverty-stricken of roads from underprivileged countries (for example from the East of Europe or the Middle Orient)? The answer is easy of give as long as somebody is not guilty that they born in New York or in X village, Y commune from a country about what the New York civilization don't heard. And nor the Puerto Rico community from New York City (for example).

The amplitude of losses from September 11, it hindered the deployment at Los Angeles of Grammy Awards concert for 2001 year in a solidarity consideration with the disaster from Manhattan but the two sky-scraper will be build in record time, theirs existence has been purely interrupted for short time. With all these things, the economic and social disasters succeeded to suspend the deployment of too advanced event . I wonder, an equivalent event in European Union the power has the power to adjourn the concert from Los Angeles ?And the official site of Sears Tower has been temporarily suspended from solidarity causes with them lesser towers from New York.

I personal rejoice, as it not was attacked the Paramount Pictures studios what it gave to whole world the Star Trek.And so that to amplify the inferiority where it fallen the Western community and not only , the words as: Afghanistan, Ossama bin Laden, or Islamic they are in the top words searched on Google, AltaVista and Yahoo. The guilt for the tragedy, it say, it belongs only to the Americans. A severe safeguard at World Trade Center can prevented to the approach some airplanes of the two sky-scraper. What safeguard can be that which had itself the Pentagon as long as he can't face the solely sure emergency - the aerial attack. If it hijacked instantly 5-10 airplanes, they were able be had been destroying all the sides of the Pentagon in a few seconds without at least the guard helicopters to have time to upend from the soil. Ditto and at World Trade Center, a ultramodern safeguard with the newest technology of radar detection they were able be avoid the airplanes approach. The New York Times nor at least remember about Golden Stag 2001 - international festival from Brasov, Romania.

More fearful is the fact been supposed to happen something bad that western civilization to think of the existence of some civilization much inferior their.
