Rafael Hernandez
risked his life to go running into the to twin towers on 9/11 to go save the
hundreds of people trapped in the buildings.
9/11 was a day to
remember. It started out as a normal day in New York. Cars were zooming on the
roads people headed to work and school and the streets were filled with
traffic. But out of nowhere a large American Airlines plane comes flying by
really close to the ground headed for the Twin Towers. The entire city was
confused and scared when the plane hit one of the towers. The confused city
turned to a panic. Fire engines raced across the streets when another plane hit
the second tower.
Rafael Hernandez
was visiting New York for vacation. When he heard the Twin towers were under
attack he had to go help. He showed the American fire fighters his Mexican
badge. They gave him a suit so he could help and that is what he did. This man
was a true hero. He went into to the towers and he didn’t even have to. Sadly
he died on September 25, 2011. He was a true hero.
