September 11, 2001 is a date nobody will forget. It is the day that 2 hijacked planes were flown into the World Trade Centre, or Twin Towers, in New York City, one hijacked plane crashed into the Pentigon, and one more hijacked plane crashed in a field near Shanksville Pennsylvainia. The last plane crashed in a field because the passengers on board tried to take over the plan and the terrorists crashed it then because the passengers were going to ruin there mission. It was a series of suicide attackes planned by al-Quida. Around 3000 people died because of the crashes.
On 9-11-01 I was sitting in my kindergarten class with Mrs.Knudsen and all my other classmates. I dont recall what happened that day at all. Now i wished i would have remembered how our teacher reacted, and what the school did because of the al-Quida attacks.
The people responsible for the attacks were 19 al-quida terrorists, which is a militant/ terroist group formed by Osama bin Laden. Their motives for attacking the US were, because we had US troops in Suadi Arabia, we were supporting Israel, and sanctions against Iraq. Iraq sanctions was pretty much banning all trade and financial resourses.
The US responded by launching the War on Terror, and invading Afganistan to get rid of the Taliban.
I feel that 9/11/01 brought the whole United States closer. Just like Alan Jackson asked where were you when the world stopped turning?...
