911 Memorial

On September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked the Unites States. They hijacked four airplanes in mid-flight. The terrorists flew two of the planes into two skyscrapers at the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact caused the buildings to catch fire and collapse. Another plane destroyed part of the Pentagon (the U.S. military headquarters) in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Officials believe that the terrorists on that plane intended to destroy either the White House or the U.S. Capitol. Passengers on the plane fought the terrorists and prevented them from reaching their goal. In all, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks. hundreds of fire fighters trapped in the twin towers and by 9:59 the twin towers had fallen down.people who where inside the building didn't want to die on fire and they started to jump off the building. 

I feel overwhelmed when i hear about this it gets me pretty upset to know that people could go ahead and attack places where there's a lot of innocent people that have nothing to do with whatever they're trying to do. its very disappointing to even think that t here are people out there who want to damage anything.
