On September 11, 2001 there was four planned suicide attacks on the U.S inWashington D.C and New York City. The morning that it happened 19 terrorists from the terroist group al-qaeda hiijacked four commercial airliners and intentionally crashed two of them into the twin towers. Both of the towers collasped within two hous. The third plane was crashed into the Pentagon in Virginia, and the fourth plane into a field near Shanksville, Pennslyvania before it reached its target in Washington D.C. The terrorists would’ve reached their target if the passengers woudn’t have fought them. Once it one of the hiijackers realized that the passangers might get control of the plane he ordered the other hiijackers to intentionally crash the plane. Once we realized that Flight 11 was hiijacked we put two F-15’s into the air to bring it down. A total of 2,977 people died that day, not including the hiijackers. Some believe that their motive for the attacks were based on Islamic hatred towards Christians and Jews, but others believe the attacks were not at all an attempt to begin a religious war. In response to the attacks the U.S made the arilines safer, and you have to go through a lot more security checks. I don’t remember anything from that day. I don’t get way the terroists would be so stupid and actually put their lives in danger just to kill people. I think it was pretty stupid. Everybody just needs to learn to get along, or at least learn to tolerate everybody. Hopefully nothing like this ever happens again.
