First we presented Assigned Blogs. the first one was about 911.
911-around 8:30, 5 terrorist took over the first plane which hit the side of the first twin tower. About 19 terrorists were involved. Pentagon was hit and the second twin tower was hit. 300 people were killed at the pentagon. about 3000 people died.
Why 911 happened-US told the Taliban to stop what they were doing to their country. The Taliban became angry and people think that this may have triggered 911.
Impact on the US- It threw us into chaos. We wanted to go to Afghanistan right away. Afghan war is because of 911. The next month after going to war with Afghanistan, we had to divert a lot of resources to the twin towers and find bodies as well as the middle east. Security things changed. Department of Homeland security was set up. Airports became more strict about what people can bring on the planes and checking things have been taking longer.
Rise and Fall of Al-Qaeda- terrorist group.
