911 Memorials

On September 11, 2001, at 8:45 a.m. on a clear Tuesday morning, tragic even occurred at the World Trade Center in New York City. It was just a typical day. People were ready to get to work, finish work, and go home but this happened unexpectedly. Terrorists flew into two skyscrapers at the World Trade Center. The impact caused the building to catch fire and collapse. This was the first plane to hit and occurred at 8:46 am. Another plane came at 9:03 am. and crashes into the south tower of the World Trade Center and explodes. Both buildings were burning. At 9:37 am, the hijackers crashed the aircraft in to the western side of the Pentagon. The fourth plane was controlled by passengers because the passengers fought the four hijackers and crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. The two planes that crashed into the skyscrapers left a gapping burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors. The attackers were Islamic terrorists from Saudi Arabia and several other Arab nations. The 19 terrorists easily smuggled box-cutters and knives through security at three East Coast airports and boarded four flights bound for California. Osama bin Laden (the leader of the al-Qaeda) caused this event. My first memory of these attacks were in 1st grade. My teacher gathered us all around and told us about this tragic event. 

Reflection: write your thoughts, feelings, and inslights.

I feel that this event was such a tragic event. Those cowards that caused this will pay for the consequences. It was just a typical Tuesday morning. These innocent peopleworking  who were inside the skyscrapers did not deserve this. This makes me emotional because it was really disturbing to witness videos of people crying for help and dropping their selves out high from the towers just so they won't burn dead. Many firefighters lost their lives to prevent people but they couldn't take it. More than 3,000 died this day and this day will never be forgotten. in the memory of 911.
