Hu Zhengming was also at a loss after hearing this. There was too much information hidden under the water, making him confused.
"Where are the Twin Towers?"
Guan Jianying replied: "It's the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. Look at the email I sent you, there is already some preliminary news in it.
I'd also like to ask about my friends over at Amerikan. Chenming, let’s talk tomorrow. "
After Hu Zhengming answered the call from Guan Jianying, his family in Americen also called and gave him more specific news.
"Dad, the entire Twin Towers are on fire, the Pentagon was hit, and the White House was also hit!
The exact number of casualties is not yet known, nor is it known who did it.
A Weibo user took a picture of the hijacker's face and posted it on Weibo. If you want to know the latest news, you can check it out on Weibo. "
"Okay, I'll watch it later. You, your brother, and your mother, please be safe and don't run around during this period. Don't go to the art exhibitions in Washington and New York yet," Hu Zhengming reminded.
"How can we go to New York and Washington at this time? Don't worry, we won't go anywhere during this time."
After answering the phone call from his family, Hu Zhengming had time to sit in front of his laptop, open his mailbox, and check the email sent to him by Guan Jianying.
There are a lot of pictures in the email. From the account number, avatar and pattern, Hu Zhengming can tell at a glance that it is a screenshot of Weibo.
"Two commercial airliners just crashed into Buildings 1 and 2 of the World Trade Center in New York."
"I'm on a flight to Los Angeles and we're having a hijacking"
"Not only did the planes hit the World Trade Center, they were heading toward Washington."
"What the hell, what happened?"
"Why does it feel like a war has broken out all over America?"
These Weibo posts are all accompanied by pictures, including pictures of being hit by a passenger plane, pictures of the interior of the plane and the interior of the Twin Towers being hit.
For the first time, Weibo showed its power, which is timeliness.
Every user is a news source, and what they shoot and share with the Mphone camera is a piece of news.
The fastest way to broadcast news today is to wait for the news broadcast truck to arrive at the scene, and the time in between is enough for Weibo news to ferment.
Hu Zhengming raised his eyebrows after reading them one by one. As a person who has been growing up in America since his youth and became an American citizen, he felt sad in his heart.
He sat on the bed in the hotel and slowly took stock of his friends who might be in New York and Washington, and called them one by one.
Zhou Xin, who was in Los Angeles at this time, also saw the news, and it showed from the background that Weibo's traffic reached an unprecedented peak.
Almost all Mphone users are using Weibo.
Weibo's operations team is urgently increasing bandwidth and expanding the capacity of the existing network. Fortunately, Weibo's servers are placed in Xinyun's computer room. Xinyun has a large number of servers available for emergency expansion of Weibo.
It was nine o'clock in the morning when the Twin Towers were hit. By ten o'clock in the morning, Weibo had added at least fifty groups of servers.
Compared with live broadcasts of TV media, Weibo is more timely and the content is more attractive to users.
The TV program's characterization of this matter needs to wait for notification from Washington before they can come to a final conclusion. Before that, they cannot even have a tendency.
I could only rely on the beautiful anchor to chat awkwardly in front of the blackened World Trade Center Twin Towers. From time to time, an expert in a suit would rush in and talk a lot of nonsense.
The only attraction is the Twin Towers behind it, which can bring a little shock to the American audience in front of the TV.
Compared with live TV broadcasts, the content on Weibo is much more exciting.
All kinds of speculations. After all, everyone is a netizen. Who knows who you are? Just talk nonsense and that's it.
Like the White House conspiracy theory, it is a drama directed and performed by the White House. Netizens who hold this view have found a lot of evidence from the Internet.
For example, long before the plane flew to Washington, George W. Bush was not in the White House but attending an event in Florida.
Almost all senior White House officials were not in the White House. From his deputy Cheney to chief of staff Levis to the secretary of state and chief of staff, none of them happened to be working in the White House that morning.
This gives netizens who hold White House conspiracy theories the most powerful evidence. Weibo is an anonymous social network. When this speculation was frequently forwarded by Weibo users, some White House staff took photos and posted them on Weibo, which was the best proof that senior officials were not in the White House.
In addition to White House conspiracy theories, there are all kinds of theories.
After Mphone supports sending content, it saves the information you want to send in the background, and then after connecting to the Internet, it will continue to help you send the content in the background.
Therefore, a passenger on the plane took a picture of the hijacker's face and posted it on Weibo.
This incident had been planned for at least half a year, which meant that the hijackers had been operating in America for half a year.
After seeing the photo on Weibo, some users said: "Why do I seem to have met this person in the supermarket near my home?"
"I'm in Nevada and I've seen three of these guys' faces before at a gym in Nevada."
"Although the photo is not very clear, it is really similar, especially the feeling."
Zhou Xin stayed at home in San Francisco watching the news, and then instructed the Weibo operation team to launch the topic function, and then allow the media on Weibo to post topics on Weibo.
What he was thinking was that this incident happened eight days earlier than he originally thought. It seemed that his arrival did not affect the occurrence of this incident. This is the biggest impact of geopolitics on the world line, and it has bought China at least ten more years.
No tomorrow morning, I have to go out in the morning, I will update in the afternoon and evening!
