Today in history we watched a video about the 9/11 story.. then we have a blog disscussion about our assigned blog.. yaaay.
Thing I learned about 9/11:
Osama bin Ladin was the leader of the al-Queda. When the first plane hit the north twin tower people above the 78th floor were trapped. Roughly 3,000 people died. They are building the Freedom Tower, it will be finished in 2013. This is the first time I've ever heard about the Pentagon. I also didn't know about the fourth plane. I didn't know the passengers on board tried to stop this plane from crashing into the White House or the United States Capitol building. They landed in a feild southeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They shut down the airports. All the international flights were either told to go back or fly to Mexico or Cananda. It hurt the airplane industry for a while because people were scared to fly again. Longest time in US history to shut down the airplane airways. The al-Queda had this planned since 1996.
The Taliban's government is a terrorist group. Made women second class.
