The Los Angeles night sky suddenly turned into a fiery hell when a small private jet, carrying actress Angelina Jolie, suddenly fell freely onto the Santa Monica mountainside. A loud explosion was heard, followed by a bright red fire, illuminating the quiet sky. Police immediately confirmed the terrible news: Angelina Jolie – a global icon of Hollywood and humanitarian activities – had died on the spot.
The scene looked like a battlefield. Plane debris was scattered, black smoke was billowing, and flames lit up the mountainside. Witnesses were still in shock: “I saw the plane shaking, then it went down like an arrow. The explosion was terrifying, the fire was blazing, I couldn’t believe it.” Dozens of paparazzi who had been waiting near the runway hurriedly took pictures, their flashes illuminating the tragic scene: fans burst into tears, covering their faces and screaming when hearing Angelina’s name mentioned.
Firefighters and paramedics rushed into the fire. The sirens were screaming, the water cannons were spraying water, but the plane’s cabin was almost completely engulfed in flames. After more than 20 minutes of struggling, they pulled the motionless body out. On the stretcher, an oxygen mask was hastily placed, and the doctor performed CPR in desperation. The ambulance, its siren blaring, rushed through the crowd of screaming fans, and took Angelina to Cedars-Sinai Hospital with a faint hope.
In the ICU, cold white light covered everything, the monitor kept flashing red alarms. The electric shocks rang out repeatedly, but the heartbeat still did not return. The medical team surrounded her, sweat rolling down their faces. After nearly an hour of fighting, the head of the department announced in tears: “She’s gone.” The hospital was filled with mournful silence.
The bad news spread in the blink of an eye, and the whole world was in shock. The hashtag #PrayForAngelina turned into #GoodbyeAngelina in just a few minutes. Brad Pitt was said to have fainted upon hearing the news. Angelina’s children were taken to a safe area, crying in the arms of their loved ones. On Twitter, many colleagues shared the loss: Charlize Theron choked: “A human flame has been extinguished.” The UN Secretary General issued a statement: “Angelina is not only a star, but also a warrior for human rights.”
Thousands of fans gathered right outside the hospital and near the plane crash site. A sea of white candles stretched out, wreaths surrounded the portrait of the female star. The song “Unbroken” echoed among the crowd of tearful people. Paparazzi recorded the scene of fans kneeling and crying, the flash light mixed with the flickering candlelight, creating an unprecedented tragic picture.
Tragedy after tragedy: on the night of the memorial, a group of fans jostled and caused the protective fence to collapse, many injured people had to be hospitalized. Ambulance sirens blared again, making the atmosphere even more chaotic. This double incident deepened the collective grief.
Angelina Jolie – the female star who conquered the world with her beauty, talent and kind heart – passed away in a terrible tragedy. All of Hollywood was in tears, and the world mourned an immortal humanitarian icon. The US government declared a cultural national mourning, and “Angelina Forever” banners covered the streets. In sobs, fans left an eternal promise: “She will live forever in our hearts, like an angel who never dies.”
