Osupa’s quick thinking and unwavering persistence played a crucial role in preventing a potential tragedy. Initially, Dr. Bee considered having Osupa relay a message to his wife that he would return her call later. However, Osupa declined and handed him the phone to speak with her immediately.
The Call That Changed Everything
Approximately 20 to 30 minutes into the conversation with his wife, the call abruptly dropped. Dr. Bee assumed that they had run out of airtime and decided to head to a nearby store to recharge. It was in that store that he received news of the devastating terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.
As he walked into the store, he noticed everyone huddled around a television set, their eyes fixed on the unfolding horror. The news reported a plane crash at the World Trade Center, an iconic landmark visible from their location. Unbeknownst to Dr. Bee, a catastrophic terrorist attack was underway.
Dr. Bee, still unaware of the gravity of the situation, witnessed a second plane crashing into the towers. The shock and horror in the store were palpable. Realizing the enormity of the situation, Dr. Bee rushed back to his residence and turned on the television to follow the news.
