When 9/11 happened, Bush and top members and family were rushed to a bunker. Here is an exclusive pix just released by White House of those moments. Bush was flown into the air by Airforce 1, while his vice Cherney was in charge of Ops.
1. President Bush speaks with senior staff on return to the bunker.
2. Vice-President Dicck Cheney rests his feet while watching news coverage of the Twin Tower attacks....inside the bunker.
3. Dicck Cheney was in charge at the White House until Bush was flown back at around 7pm that evening
4. Condoleezza Rice and Dick Cheney in the Emergency Operations Centre

5. Dicck Cheney and Condoleezza Rice showing signs of stress in the crisis briefing..Bush was still in the clouds at this time.
6. The vice-President, his wife Lynne Cheney and first lady Laura Bush during the emergency briefing. Laura's probably thinking of her husband's whereabout.
7. Lynne Cheney was brought to the Emergency Operations Centre for security reasons
8. Former National Security Advisor and vice-President both make phone calls on the secure line from the White House emergency bunker

9. Image of former Secretary of State Colin Powell in the heat of the attacks.
10. The former vice-President and senior advisors looking sombre after hearing reports of the further terrorist attacks. Imagine Jonathan when DSS office was attacked by BH...
11. Condolezza Rice looks dismayed next to Colin Powell during crisis talks in the White House emergency bunker
12. Laura Bush, Lynne Cheney and Dicck Cheney sit in the Emergency Operations Centre

13. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell photographed in the emergency bunker. Maybe reading how to survive terrorist attack.
14. Head of the CIA watches President Bush's national address. In his mind, he is going to be sacked!
15. Forget Maggy Thatcher, Condoleezza Rice photographed with the Cheneys and senior staff. Condy Rice is the real Iron Lady. Heard she wakes up at 4am almost everyday and sleeps at past midnight. All in the name of US security.
16. The vice-President has defended his decision to waterboard 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, saying he would 'Do it again in a minute'

Lastly...
17. Dick Cheney speaks with former President Bush during post terrorist attack briefing. Things were calm at this stage. CIA had established motive and extent of damage.
18. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice sits next to Dick Cheney, other plane attacks on the White House were expected then. They were doubting the bunker??

Oya Ishilove, lalasticlala. Food for the weekend.

America never got hit like that until 9/11.

The calmness we are seeing is legendary....maybe they thought they will die from an impending airstrike on the white house.

Some day that was.

The moment CIA identified the motive... then a 2nd attack!

What was in there mind was this means war let's blow there brains out.

Assessing military response to neutralise the situation

NB. The Vice president was hurried to the bunker in the Marine 2. He is with his wife and an adviser.

When in hot situation, consult your wife, then make the decision and place the order...

The moments that shaped history, I remember being on the farm when the news broke, kept struggle with the TV antenna to catch full details.

You are absolutely right, men need that assurance that they are on the right track or atleast someone believes in them.

And when George Bush came back...the VP had done a wonderful job.
Baba Osinbajo hope you are capable oooo. Baba kekere, ojogbon imo ofin.

God Bless America!

Smh...

Absolutely correct......one thing av learnt in life

Mr Cheney leaves after briefing Bush. He had held the country while the president was kept safe to establish the threat.

Thanks OP very informative
Just like watching the movie 24
But wait o, where were their kids?

Hmm.
So Oga photographer was busy click clicking on his camera while the heat was on and nobody lost his/her nerve about it.
From what I've learnt about the westerners there's a safe work system for all they do. From whisking President Bush to Airforce 1, calling VP Cheney in to run ops till the threat was established, bringing the wives of the President and VP in, photographer doing his thing and all other behind the scene moves, everything works as part of an articulated system. I'm sure lots of drills must have been done on this. Naija we have a lot to learn. Take note.

.....d day d world clock stop

Hope this pics get to Baba Go Slow and Baba Kekere should boko haram try stunt like this on Aso Rock.

I will expect the secret services to have lodged their kids in a safe place as well. Notice that Bush's wife didnt follow him on Airforce1 as well.

Dictating the names of terrorist and sponsors?
When the world is on your shoulders...Every decision you make cost lives....

Advicers everywhere...who do you listen to?
