What happened- On September 11, 2001 there were four attacks in the United States four, passenger jet planes were taken over by 19 terrorist from the al-Qaeda group two of these planes were flown into the twin towers or world trade center towers. One other was flown into the pentagon in Arlington Virginia and the last was taken back over by a group of people in the plane and crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, nearly 3000 people died in the attack
Who did it and why- an Islamist military group called Al-Qaeda, because they don’t like Israel and the U.S. supported them and because we had some of our army in Saudi Arabia and they didn’t want us there
What affects did it have in our and overseas countries- it brought down the global economy because it was a huge trade center. It made all the countries feel bad for America even some of the Islamic ones but when we attacked Afghanistan it made them lose their sympathy. It affected America because it made us more aware of terrorist and afraid that something like this would happen again and groups were started to stop terrorist.
What do you remember 9/11- I remember every year in elementary school we would start in the morning by doing the pledge of allegiance then the some of the fifth graders would write a speech. Then in middle school we would talk about it in school and sometimes in language arts we would write a story or a poem about 9/11.
