What happend that day?
Al-Qaeda a trained terrorist group attacked the United States on Septmeber 9, 2001. There were ninteen terrorists, 4 to each plane that hijacked four commercial airliners. Two of the planes; American Arlines flight 11 and United Airlines flight 175, were hijacked and crashed into the twin towers in New York City. The first plane crashed at 8:46 a.m. into the north tower and the seconded plane crashed into the south tower at 9:03 a.m. The south tower fell at 9:59 a.m. and the north tower fell at 10:28 a.m. The third hijacked plane; flight 77 was flown into the pentagon and the fourth plane; flight 93 crashed into a feild in Pennsylvaina, which was amied to hit the White House. The passengers got phone calls from their family members telling them about the twin toweres and the pentagon, so, 43 minutes before the plane crashed, the passengers tried to over take the the plane. Approxamently 3,000 people died that day.
Who was responsible?
Osama Bin Ladin and the Al-Qaeda group is responsible for this whole terrorist attack. Osama Bin Ladin took responsibitliy for it anyway. He planned the whole thing and trained the ninteen terrorist who took over the planes.
Why did this happen?
The US was funding mujaheaden (Al-Quada) because they were fighting the soviets so so Osmama declared war on us.
1. we were funding Isreal
2. US troops in Saudia Arabia
3. to keep US culture out of Middle East
What did the US do in response to this?
As in a response the US airports as in many other airports made their security a lot more efficaiant the day after all this happened. Now it takes A LOT longer to get through the airport then it would have 10-11 years ago. Also the americans donated money and blood and did whatever they need to do to help the people who lost thier loved ones. Also we declared war on Afganhastan becasue thats where we though Osama Bin Ladin was hidding at. This whole thing brought our countries together for about two years. Also the president which was President W. Bush said that if any commercial airplane that was not doing as they were told or people couldnt get ahold of them then they were to be shot down.

well i was four when this happened so i dont remember anything at all about this day. All i can say is im glad that our troops found Osama Bin Ladin and im glad he is dead.
