On September 11, 2001, there was an attack on America. There are some men that decided that they didn’t like what America stands for such as our freedom, liberty, and the rights of men and women of all races, backgrounds, and beliefs. So on the morning of September 11, 2001, they hijacked four American planes. Two of the airplanes were crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City. The third plane was crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The last plane was going to crash into another building in Washington, D.C., but the passengers stopped the hijackers, and the plane crashed into a field instead. Thousands of people had no idea what was happening and thousands died from this attack. Nearly 3000 people died and 19 hijackers died. 9/11 was a scary moment in our time and no one wants anything like this to happen again.
Consequences that happened on 9-11-01 included airport security buckled down and became more strict with what you can carry onto a plane. They have more high tech equipment in airports. Many people were shocked and expanded law enforcement laws. Contaminants were released into the air causing lung cancer for people.
My personal rememberances of 9/11/01 was I was 1st grade and a bunch of teachers were out in the hallway of Westridge discussing something and we had no idea what was going on and a bunch of people were shocked and what not but we didnt know what to think. I dont remember a whole lot about that day. That is all I can remember about 9/11//2010. Now I know what it meant and how people were effected.
