Two new and disturbing audio recordings of calls made from the south tower of the World Trade Center to 9-11 operators on Sep 11, 2001 were played for jurors at the sentencing trial of Zacarias Moussaoui this week.
The Alexandria, Virginia jury heard calls placed by Melissa Doi, 32, from the 83rd floor of the south tower and by Kevin Cosgrove, 46, from the 105th floor of the south tower.

Melissa Doi is frantic in her call to a 9-11 operator and tells her she knows she is going to die, "It's very, very, very hot. All I see is smoke. I'm going to die, aren't I? I'm going to die, I know I'm going to die."
The operator tried to calm her telling her recuers were on their way. Towards the end of her call, she can be heard yelling, "Help! Help!"

Cosgrove pleads for help to the 9-11 operator in his call, at one point telling her that he is not ready to die, "Tell God to blow the wind from the West. It's really bad. It's black. It's arid. Does anyone else wanna chime in here? We're young men. We're not ready to die."
Cosgrove is abruptly cut off as the tower collapses, "Hello. We're looking in ... We're overlooking the Financial Center. Three of us. Two broken windows. Oh God. Oh ..."

Aardig schokkend om die paniek te horen bij die 2 mensen.
