9/11 the terrorist attacks


On September 11,2001 it was a normal day in America till about 9:00am an airplane United Airlines flight 175, a Boeing 767-222 crashed to the World Trade Center known as the twin tower south tower after a American Airline flight 11, a Boeing 767 Crashed on the north tower at 8:46. This event happened after Islam hijackers took control of these airplanes who where part of the famous terrorist group that was attacking the Liban named the Al Qaeda. Osama Bin Laden the most searched terrorist in the world, had send threats to the United states of America about a terrorists attack and on 9/11 he made this threat become true. New York was not the only state or city attacked, also Washington D.C. received an attack of an airplane whose target was direct hit to the Pentagon. In total there where four airplanes hijacked but this last airplane, with a unknown target and believed to be targeted to the White House, was crashed during flight due to the courage of the tribulation who apply for on the attackers and forced the airplane to crash before reaching it's target. This airplane was the famous United 93 who recently was based its story to a drama and action movie name Flight 93 or United 93. It's believed that the United 93 had crashed in a local time of 10:03 in Pennsylvania.

There are rumors that after the crash of the airplane of the North tower and all the fire maked the tower collapse minutes later, people from the southern tower tried to evacuate but the police officers that where protecting the building said that the attack was only in the northern tower and that that the southern tower was saved; so the people returned to work and few time later the second impact happened. Today the area where the twin towers or World Trade Center is located is called the Zero Zone.

On the Zero Zone there was few years ago a huge hole and there you could see the subway train route crossing through that area all destroyed. In front of that place there is a huge memorial plaque with all the names and descriptions of the victims in the terrorist attack.

On the Memorial Day each year on the day 11 of September, president from the United States George Washington Bush, visits the place where the United 93 felled down and after, he visits the World Trade Center Zero zone. He visits that place where the United 93 felled down first because he wants to bring honor to the courage of the people who protected the United States from another impact scarifying their lives.


I can remember that on the 9 of September of 2001 it was a normal day at our school (George Washing School), and suddenly we had to leave the school early because of the terrorist attacks. Once I arrived home I saw the news and I didn’t care about it much because I was about 7 years old and I didn't really know what was going on.
