9/11. i may not remember much about it, but for some people, it'll be engrained in their memories forever.
On September 11, 2001, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four planes with hopes of destroying America's biggest signs of power. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of them into the twin towers and the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board as well as many others working in them. the buildings both collapsed withing two hours, destroying everything in its path.
The third airliner went to Arington, Virginia and crashed into the Pentagon, just outside Washington D.C.
In an act of heroism, the passengers of the fourth plane worked together to retake the plane and change its course, which originally was set to go to Washington D.C. Instead, it crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsilvania. No one aboard any of the planes surivived.
Personally, i dont remember much from that day. i had just started kindergarden; all i remember from that year was making a whole lot of friends...so i dont have much to contribute to everyone's pool of memories from that day
