Tuesday, September 11,2001
This day in history, is a day many will never forget. On 9-11 there was a sequence of four synchronized suicidal jet airplanes that attacked the United States. These four passenger planes were hijacked be Islamic militant groups. The hijackers originally crashed two planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Those planes were American Airlines Flight 11 and American Airlines Flight 125. Both of the towers collapsed within two hours. Then another crashed into the Pentagon Arlington, Virginia, this plane was American Airlines Flight 77. The Last plane crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. On this flight the passengers tried to take control of the plane. The original flight plan was for Washington D.C. There were virtually 3,000 killed in these attacks.
Due to sanctions against Iraq, support of Israel and the presents of US troops in Saudi Arabia, Al Qaeda and Bin Laden initiated the attacks on US soil.
The United States responded by invading Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban, and also they launched the War on Terror. There were many countries that changed their anti-terrorism legislation and
enhanced their law enforcement powers. Bin Laden was found and killed after being at
large for many years.
Since I was really young when the attack happened, I don’t really remember anything
from that day at all.
