Who was responsible?
A chief aide of Osama Bin Laden, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed confessed he " was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z." He said he wasn't proud of killing innoscent children but he was forced to do it. Mr. Mohammed was captured and put in prison.
What did the U.S. do in response?
After 911 we beefed up our security at airports and train stations and to get into a simple football game. We also raised security in the whitehouse and Pentagon. We also got better communications to planes so they can communicate better in a situation like 911. Finally this year we caught Osama Bin Laden and killed him.
What I remember about 911
I was in kindergarden and all of a sudden all of the teachers were running to the teachers lounge to watch it on tv. They would not tell us what was wrong because they didn't want a bunch of crying kindergardeners. I didn't find out about it until I got home that day and my parents told me about it.
