                                                         9/11 Memorials 


  The 9/11 attack was  a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda on the United States on the morning of September 11, 2001.  Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters.  Under the leadership of Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda has carried out many terrorist attacks all over the world, but the attacks on the attack which they made on September 11 was the deadliest one since the buildings were occupied and a lot  of people died. Two of the hijacked planes hit nearly identical skyscrapers, known as the twin towers, at a complex called the World Trade Center in New York. The buildings collapsed, and thousands of people died. A third plane was flown into the Pentagon in Arlington, where the U.S. military is headquartered, killing 189 people. A fourth plane, thought to be heading for the Capitol in Washington, crashed in rural Pennsylvania after passengers on board fought the hijackers. All 44 people on the plane were killed. When this happened i was barely like a few months old so i really don't know nor remember much but in school i was thought about it which is why i know what occurred.

I really think this is sad because a lot of innocent people died. I really admire those who risked their lifes to help others.
