mooooovie :)
This is a movie you need to see. As all of the police officers return to the station, they see the TV, and find that one of the massive twin towers of the World Trade Center has been hit by a plane. Sergeant McLoughlin assigns many of the officers to assist in an evacuation attempt of the (still undamaged) South Tower, and they board a commandeered Metropolitan Transit Authority bus.
When they arrive at the site of the World Trade Center, they see many disturbing things, including one of the first victims jumping out of the tower to their death to escape the flames. As Jimeno drops off their police equipment in 5 World Trade Center, officers proceed to get safety equipment and, walk into the concourse of the World Trade Center, between the two towers. The group consists of McLoughlin, Jimeno, Dominick Pezzulo, and Antonio Rodrigues (A-Rod).
The wives and families of McLoughlin and Jimeno are gradually introduced, unaware of their husbands' and fathers' fates.
McLoughlin realizes that the South Tower is collapsing onto them, and their only chance of survival is to run into the service elevator shaft. Chris trips and doesn't have time to get up. A-Rod isn't able to get to the shaft in time. McLoughlin, Jimeno and Pezzulo manage to escape the huge amounts of dust and rubble flying down from the South Tower. But as the rubble continues to crush the elevator shaft, the three are knocked out.
As the group wake up, Pezzulo realises he can free himself, and manages to go nearer to Jimeno in the rubble, who, along with McLoughlin, have survived the collapse of the South Tower. As Pezzulo gets optimistic that they will live, the rumbling starts up again, as the North Tower is now collapsing as well. Although Jimeno and McLoughlin are unharmed, Pezzulo is fatally wounded and, after firing his gun up through a gap in the rubble to try to alert rescuers to their position, dies.
After Jimeno and McLoughlin spend hours under the rubble, luckily two United States Marines, Dave Karnes and Jason Thomas, who are searching for survivors of the tower collapse find Jimeno and McLoughlin and call for help to dig them out.

FAM.DAY 'o8
that's how i would describe that day. hm.. the motorcade was "blegh", it was quiet and pretty boring. no one was cheering and shouting loud. but when we arrived at the tumaga campus, families started to show and finally there was noise and music and PEOPLE.. actually the fun started at around 6 when the games started. i only played tag-of-war, it was really fun because i was with my friends we won the first round but lost in roundtwo and round3 but it was still fun anyway. it was such a woderful night and a bit boring actually. there was also dancing and singing. the band was good and the music was even greater. there was also a fireworks display, it was kinda sad 'cause i wanted to watch it with someone but didn't show up.
the night was great. we went home around 9pm because rain started to pour. when we got home, we talked about what happened that day. i told my family that the motorcade waas boring and they all just laughed. idunno why ><
