Summary

  On one particular morning, dated September 11th 2001, everything seemed to be just like every other day. People did their usual jobs, cars drove around the streets and people were up about in their usual business. But something unexpected was about to happened. Terrorists were about to attack the country we know as: The United States of America.

The attacks involved four hijacked planes carrying thousands of gallons of fuel inside them. There were 19 al-Qaida terrorists carrying various weapons aboard the four planes, waiting for the right moment to hijack the planes. It was a well thought project that was planned for many years.

  At around 8 a.m. EST, Plane American Airlines “Flight 11″ departed for Los Angeles from the Boston’s Logan International Airport. There were around 92 people on board this very plane. Shortly after departure the terrorists took over the plane. Another plane (Airlines Flight 175) involved in this catastrophe left for Los Angeles as well, but with only 65 people on board, a little less than the other plane. Flight 175 was soon taken over by some of the al-Qaida terrorists as well. After some time, both planes turned around headed for the one and only: World Trade Center.

It was around 8:45 when the first devastation happened. Flight “11″ holding the 92 people aboard crashed right into the World Trade Center Tower many people were killed almost instantaneously by the crash, including the people aboard the plane and within the building. In less than 20 minutes, the 2nd plane (Flight 175) crashed into the south tower of The World Trade Center. The “Twin” Towers where one of the most famous buildings of the World Trade Center. Around 50, 000 people working in the whole complex. Many people died in those two accidents, and this tragedy was the highlight of 9/11, for it killed many innocent people, destroyed a famous site, and crippled the US economy. Another plane, being one of the four planes involved in the attack, flew into the side of the pentagon (The US Headquarters of defense). The last plane crashed into a field out in Pennsylvania because of the brave resistance of the people on board. The crash still managed to kill the heroes, but saved the intended target of the plane, which is still unknown to toady, but many speculate that it was the White House.
