9/11
(A day no one will ever forget.)
9/11 was the day that Al Qaeda (suicide bombers) took over four U.S. planes. Osama bin Laden was the "head honcho" of this whole ordeal, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was also apart of this. They crashed two into the World Trade Centers, one into the Pentagon, and one crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. Over 3,000 people were killed on that day.
Bin Laden had said that he had proceeded with the attacks because he believed that the U.S. was getting to close to the mecca. He also believes that the Army men were humiliating and terrorizing his people (Muslims.) Although some believe Al Qaeda did this because they wanted to provoke America into war.
After 9/11 the U.S. signed the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Which created The Department of Homeland Security. I think this was a terrible day for the United States that no one will ever forget. I just feel like the U.S. should have been taking more precautions to prepare for something like this. Expect the unexpected.
What do I remember?
I don't remember a lot, but what i do remember was my mom coming to the school to pick me up and she was on the phone the entire time then she dropped me off at the Schwery's house since it was Maddie's birthday plus her mom babysat me. I don't think any of us kids actually knew what was going on at the time i just remember seeing all of the adults crying and I was just confused.
