Lucky Escapes From Terrorist Attacks
I have met many people over the last number of years in my
business line of work, stammering tuition, and have heard a
couple of remarkable stories of how they narrowly avoided a
terrorist attack. The first was a man who was in New York at the
time of the attack on the twin towers. He and his friends from
England had been in New York for around a week and were due to
fly back home on September 11th. On the tenth of September they
decided to go to the twin towers, firstly to have a look and
secondly to take some photos from the top.
They had to wait a long time until it was their turn to purchase
their tickets. The man who was serving behind the counter asked
the a question: "Are you here to take photographs lads, or just
a general look around? If you are here to take photographs it
might be worth waiting until tommorrow, as it is quite cloudy up
there today. I can sell you the tickets today, so when you
arrive tommorrow you do not have to wait etc."
They agreed this was a good idea and planned to
return early in
the morning.
"What shall we do now then" said one of the group of lads.
They discussed the options and decided to go to a bar and to
have a few drinks. A few drinks turned into a lot of drinks. In
the morning they all slept in to recover from the alcohol and
when they awoke they quickly heard the news.
Alcohol had possibly saved their lives.
I met another man who had been in Bali on the night of the
terrorist attack there. He and his girlfriend had planned to
meet another couple in one of the bars which was eventually
bombed.
Earlier in the day the couple had phoned to cancel as one of
them was ill. Another lucky escape!
