On September 11, 2001, 19 al-Quedas hijacked 4 American planes. At 9:03 AM, Eastern time, two airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City. Another plane was flown into the Pentagon 30 minutes later. The fourth plane was aimed for the White House but was re-taken by the passengers and crashed in a field. 125 people died at the Pentagon, 2,606 died in New York City, there were 246 passengers that died on the planes.
The group responsible was al-Quada, a terrorist group headed by Osama bin Laden. He said the reason for doing it was the US supporting Israel keeping US troops in Saudi Arabia.
dAfter these attacks, President George W. Bush announced a war on terrorism to prevent future terrorist attacks. The US wanted to capture Osama bin Laden and end al-Queda.
I don't remember a whole lot of what happened that day. I was in kindergarten, so I really can't remember anything. I don't think I really understood what was going on.
