1. What happened on 9-11-01 in detail.
Four planes crashed into the Twin Towers, Pensylvainia, and the Pentagon. At 8:46 a plane crashes into the north tower of the WTC (World Trade Center). This is the first indication that the American public knew that anything had happened or what would happen in the future. Little did America know that 3 more planes would be hijacked and crashed that morning. At 9:03, 15 minutes later, another plane crashes into the south tower of the WTC. At 9:38 the third plane crashes into the Pentagon. The fourth plane crashes in a feild in Pennsylvaina at 10:10. Americans were terrified about what was going to happen next.
At 9:59 the first tower falls. People in New York are now running for their lives. Hundreds of people are trapped inside the towers. Smoke, debris, and ash are now pouring through the streets of New York. The days, weeks, and months ahead are foucused on finding victims and sifting through rubble.
2. What do you remember about that day?
I dont remember much because I just started kindergarten in 2001. I was 5 years old and didn't watch the news that much. I remember being told about it in school but didn't really know what was going on or what happened.
3. Who was responsible for the attack and why did they do this
Bin Laden and Al Qaeda attacked us for no reason but maybe they were being exploided so badly that they and their way of life couldnt survive.
4. What did the US do in response to the attack?
Bin Laden went into hiding in Afghanistan and Bush got mad about that and promised to find Bin Laden so we declared war on Iraq.
