1. What happened on 9-11-01 in detail.
Well on the 11th of September 2001 four planes were hijacked by Nineteen men sent from al-Queda. Two of them crashed into the towers of the World Trade Center. One crashed into the Pentagon. The fourth plane was a little different though. The passengers in it decided to fight back, and after most of them calling their families they prepared things like boiling water and anything they could use around them and tried to take down the hijackers. It ended up causing the plane to crash into a field in Pennsylvania.
2. What do you remember about that day?
All that I remember is being at home in the living room of my old house. The news was on the TV and I was looking at the screen not understanding what it was. One of my parents was around me and we watched that for a while. Other than that I don't know anything.
3. Who was responsible for the attack and why did they do this
al-Queda was responsible for the attack. They don't like what out country does. They also think we need to be out of the Middle East. They think that we need to be gone and they try to attack us.
