The Attacks of  September 9th, 2001

It was a normal Tuesday morning in New York, everyone did their usual stuff and went to work. No one imagined that they were about to experience the worst terrorists attack in the US. It was about 8:45am when the first attack happened in the North Tower, an American Airlines Boeing 767 was hacked and sent straight to the Twin Towers in the World Trade Center. The airplane hit the 80th floor killing hundreds of people and trapping hundred more. About 18 minutes after the attack in the North Tower, United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower, hitting the 60th floor. Instantly the South Tower fell down and caused a massive explosion. Then after the attacks in New York an American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the west side of the Pentagon (military base) in Washington, DC at 9:45am. Back in New York the North Twin Tower finally collapsed at 10:30 and like the South Tower it produced a cloud of smoke. A fourth attack was sent to crashed into either the White House, US Capitol, or Camp David, but passengers in the United Flight 44 were able to hacking the direction of the airplane and it landed in Pennsylvania instead at 10;10am. The attacks are believed to be leaded by terrorist from Saudi Arabia, some of the terrorists lived in the US to help with the attacks.

Reflection:

I wasn't born yet when these attacks happened, but I feel terrible, I feel bad for everyone who lost family members in this attack. I really hope this doesn't happen again. I am thankful for everyone who helped and risked their lives for everyone else. If I would've lost someone in those attacks, I will be extremely sad and I am sorry for everyone who lost a family member. I will never be able to imagine their pain and I hope everyone who lost someone feels better, even though I know it is probably hard. I really don't know why anyone will do such a thing, I mean what if it was their family who was killed they wouldn't like it, so why do it to others. Hopefully this world becomes a better place where we don't have to fight to get or agree on what we want. We can't do anything about what already happened, but we can stop things like this from happening again. We really need to stop the fighting and terror. Why even do these things, I just don't get it?! :(
