September 11th was a extreamly sad day for millions of people in the U.S. On this day 19 terrorist from an Islamic military group called Al-Qaeda hijacked 4 passanger jets for a suiside attack mission against the United States. The first two crashes were on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City where day care was going on. This sent shock into man people few got out before the buildings collapsed whithin two hours others were stuck with the decision to stay there and know their gonna die in not to long or others choices were to jump out of the windows which reached 110 stories high. The hijackers on American Airline Flight 77 crashed the jet into the Pentagon in Arlington, Vergina. The fourth or last plane was scheduled to crash somewhere in Washington D.C., but the mission failed when the passangers on the flight decided they were going to die anyways and fought to take over the cockpit of the plane which is where the pilot is. When they did this they won taking over the Al-Qaeda and crashed the plane into a feild. After these attacks it took days to dig people out of the rubble that were dead or even sometimes still alive. Nearly 3,000 people died that day but thousands of hearts were shattered. Osama Bin Laden was the leader of the Al-Qaeda. We went into war to find him over in Iraq to find him after many years of him being one step ahead and hiding out we finally found him this last may 2011 and he was killed. Today is the tenth aniversery of the attacks and many people still remember the feelings from that day at all of the memorial services going on today to honnor the innocent people that died that day. I was only in first grade when it happened so i don't remember anything about that day other than what i learn and people tell me. I went to a sight that honnored the twin towers with all of the toys that were left of the kids after the buildings collapsed and it was truley touching.
These are some dramatic pictures from that day never forgotten.
