Blog #2 9/11

9-11-01 a serious time in America's history, the ten year anniversary such a big date. Well, what happened exactly, lets start with the average day teachers teaching, every body working and going along with there business like any other day they've been going through. it started when 19 terrorists took over four passenger jets; they were all a part of the Islamist militant group alQaeda. They intetionally crashed two planes into the twin towers, one in the pentagon, and the other was on its way to Washington D.C. but the passengers took over and crashed it in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed several others injured.

 

What I remember on that day? I don,t really remember much i was in kindergarten. The one thing I do remember is the teacher kept walking over to the computer to check her email and leaving every 20- 30 minutes to go look at the tv in the teachers lounge.

 

Who was responsible for this? The group responsible is alQaeda an Islamist militant group.

 

What did the US do in response to the attack? The US launched War on Terror, which attacked Afghanistan to dispose of the Taliban who harbored alQaeda members.

 

Now days there are many memorials and museums. The memorial at the world trade center is opening this year on the tenth anniversary.
