this picture is of the wreckage, 6 days after the initial attack.
in 2001, terrorists crashed hijacked planes into the twin towers killing 3019 and injuring upwards of 6000. the terrorists hijacked 4 planes. Two were sent to the twin towers, one to the pentagon, and one crashed in Shanksville Pensylvania. their motives? to send a message to americans to get out of their land.
the hijackers stabbed pilots and others aboard to take control, some used tear gas or something similar on the hostages. Hijackers threatened people with bombs, but later evidence suggested that the bombs were faked. when hostages threatened to take control back, hijackers were told to roll the plane; this was the one that crashed in Shanksville.
things that happened after 9/11. people got sick from the dust and smoke. there were a lot of casualties and people to fix up. it crushed our economy. the CIA started investigations looking into terrorism and key people in that area. security in certain places hae increased tremendously since the event as well.
During 9/11, i was a little tyke. Since it was a Tuesday, i think its safe to assume that i was in school when it happened. Living in the midwest, i think its also safe to assume that we were worried yet not too worried because we live in the middle of nowhere. According to my mother, after i came home from school (we weren't sure when) she stated that she had kept it on all day and probably discussed it.
