On 9/11 2001 terrorists flew hijacked planes into the world trade centers and the pentagon and another headed for dc was crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. My cousin married the pilot of the Pennsylvania crashs' son so that is pretty awesome. But the planes were hijacked geniously the hijackers took American flying lessons, they bought all the tickets on the plane, so that it was filled with more gas but there wasn't as many people on board.
When they hit their destinations it was like all of America was hit. I can remember our first grade teacher telling us what happened. I knew it was bad but didn't really understand it all. Alot of people died and many firefighters died trying to save people in the debree from the crashes. It is one of the most memorable days in American history, but i can barely recall it.
The aftermath president Bush declered war on Afganistan we just got our troops out of there nearly nine years later but we are still is surrounding countries. But we were on the hunt for Osama Bin Laden the man known to be behind the attacks. Bin Laden created a terrorist group the Al-Qaueda and the U.S. sought to seek him out when Bin Laden was killed many thought that meant the end of the war but that was not the case. U.S. troops stayed there to help build a strong govt.
Personal thoughts- Obviously 9/11 was a terrible day and i agree with going to war but i think we should of been out of there long before now.
