On September 11, 2001, is a day that changed the world, and day that will never be forgotten. Osama Bin Laden was the leader of the terriost group called Al Qaeda. They hijacked 4 commercial jet planes. The attacks were on The World Trade Center, Pentagon, and the plane crash in Pennsylvania . The first plane hit the North Tower at 8:46 am and the tower burned for 102 minutes and then collasped. The second plane hit the South Tower at 9:03 and the South Tower burned for 56 minutes then collasped. 2,974 lives were lost on 9/11 attacks caused by Al Qaede group. 19 of those deaths were the hijackers, 246 were the people on the planes, and 2,063 were from the attack on the towers. 55 of the 2,974 were the US military.
After 30 minutes of the attack on The World Trade Center, the Pentagon was hit by the American Airlines Fight 77. American Airlines Fight 77 was hijacked by five Al Qaeda people. The west wing of the Pentagon was hit causing millions of dollars to repair. All 58 passengers, four fights attendents, two pilots, and 125 occupant died at the attack of Pentagon. United Flight 93 was lead by the hijacker Ziad Jarrah. He turned around the plane that was supposed to be heading to California back to the east coast. The passengers on the plane called family and friends and found out what has happened to the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Then the realized why Ziah Jarrah hijacked Flight 93. Some of the passengers gain control over the plane and crashed the plane in a corn field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, saving over hundreds of lifes. All of the passengers on the plane died but they will be remembered as heroes.
Osama Bin Laden was the leader of the terroist group called Al Qaede that attacked the United States on 9/11. Osama Bin Laden attacked the Twin Towers to take revenge on the United States. The World Trade Center symbolizes the strength of our economic power, and i personally believe that he was only attacking the United States to kill innocent people.
The U.S government responses to the attacks on 9/11 by The War of Terror in Afganistan. I personally dont remember a lot that happened on 9/11 because i was 6 years old. I remember coming home and finding that a lot of people died on this day. I also remembered watching the news and seeing the horror that happened that to the Twin Towers.
