This weeks blog assignment is over 9-11.
September 11th, 2001, started off as any other day. Kids wento to school, adults went to work, you did what you were suposed to do that day. It was also a very sad day that made the United States of America change dramaticly.
At 8:46 AM flight 11 goes into the north side of one of the World Trade Center Towers at about 466 MPH. The plane hit the tower around floors 93 to 99. People start to panic. Nobody knows whats going on. One of the towers is smoking like crazy. Between the time 8:48 and 10:28 about 100 to 250 people jumped to their death out of the towers. Some people died because other people that jump landed on them and crushed them. Helicopters couldnt get close enough to the tower becuase of all the smoke and it would have been way to hot for the helicopter to land on top of the building.
Around 9:03 AM flight 175 crashes into the south side of the second World Trade Center. The plane hit between floors 77 and 85. PARTS OF THE PLANE FLEW OUT OF OTHER SIDES OF THE TOWER LANDING ABOUT 6 BLOCKS AWAY!
There was so many differnt angels of the sceane that people didnt know at first that there were two crashes. People thought the second building was an effect from the first crash. They thought that this whole thing was a huge rare accident.
Another plane (flight 77) hits the west side of the Pentagon and started huge fire around 9:37AM. Many people died. All the people on the plane and about 125 people in the building.
10:03 AM flight 93 crashes into a field and landed somewhere in Shanksville, PA. The plane was planning on attack the capital building but never reached it. Passengers took over tried landing but crashed. Atleast they had a fight in them for their lifes.
Many people died this day. Its a day to remember.
This Website gives you everything that happned on 9/11/01 in detail.. every minute something happened or changed it is written down. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_for_the_day_of_the_September_11_attacks#6:00_a.m.
I dont remember this day too much. I think I remember my teachers freaking out and wondering what was going on. All of us kids thought the world waqs ending or something. We all knew something horrible had happened but the teachers wouldnt tell us right away. Then we said the pledge of Aligence and said a prayer.
Nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists, and 2,998 victims. There was 4 planes total. Five terrorists were on the flight to crash into the World Trade Center on flight 11. The other flight going to the WTC was flight 175 also with 5 terrorists. Five terriost on the flight that hit the pentagon and four terriost on the plane that crashed into the field. The Al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden, was the one responsible for the tragic event of 9/11. They did this because they hate American life style.
These tragic events made the US come together as one in times of trouble. The US government tracked Osama down and when they found him they killed him. They cleaned up the damage and r building new buildings.
I like this video because you can clearly see what it would be like to look out your window and see how close the plane was, and see the plane coming in and hitting the building. If you listen closely you can hear the loud thunder from the plane and the building exploding and starting on fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3iKLz4oatY&feature=relmfu
I like this video because you can see all the people of New York running for their life pretty much..

Good overall but you could have expanded on why they attacked us and what we did in response to the attack.
Also, learn hw to embed the videos instead of linking to them.
