September 11,2001

September 11, 2001 


September 11, 2001, often referred to as simply “9/11,” was the date of the deadliest attack by foreign foes on mainland United States. At 8:48 that morning, an American Airlines flight that had been commandeered by hijackers on a Boston to Los Angeles flight crashed into the north tower of New York City's 110-story World Trade Center (WTC). Eighteen minutes later, a second hijacked plane, a United Airlines flight also en route from Boston to Los Angeles, hit the south tower. As TV viewers watched in horror, flames engulfed both buildings, and soon both crashed to the earth. Nearby structures, including the New York Stock Exchange, also suffered heavily. At 9:40 a.m., American Airlines flight 77, hijacked after taking off from Dulles Airport near Washington, crashed into the Pentagon. A fourth plane, United Airlines flight 93, en route from Newark to San Francisco, crashed in western Pennsylvania when heroic passengers attacked the hijackers, foiling a possible attack on the White House or the Capitol.

  3. It was absolutely awful, I was a child when it happened but I remembered like a terrible disaster.
    Many people died and they were just innocents so they did't deserve that. We must remember them all the 11th of September.

  8. The 11th of september of 2001 was one of the worst days in USA history!
    I was 7 years old and I was watching TV while I was having lunch. Just in that moment, my mother was zapping to watch the news and suddenly it happened... my mum didn`t understand it, cause it was a tragedy that nobody expected, so everybody will remember that.
    Even though I was a child, the picture of the plane crashing the tower is going to be in mi mind for ever.

  9. I can remember that I was 7 years old. I also having lunch with my family and it was a horrible dissaster. This new you could see the next week to happend... I thing that is a thing that you always have to remember.
    There were a lot of people that they get up at 7 o'clock to go to work and then at 15:00 you die... It is horrible!
    In my opinion this is one of the most shock accident in the history... I never going to forget the picture of the plane crashing to the twin towers.

  10. The 11th of September was a horrible day, not only for american people but also for all the world because lots of innocent people died that day. I was only seven years old when it happened the tragedy. While I was having lunch suddenly I saw some shocking pictures on TV. I couldn't believe what I was watching and I called my mother immediately. I was a pupil so I didn't understand nothing but now with sixteen years old I think of it and I can't believe how can exist that kind of people able to cause a tragedy.
    That 11th of September was a terrible event therefore I'm going to remember that day and also the picture of the twin towers falling down is going to be in my mind for the rest of my life.

  11. In my opinion the 11th of September should always be remembered, because many innocent peple died, therefore, if we think we could also have been in that situation. When all this happened I was only six years old, so it was so shocking for me see two planes crashing into two towers and suddenly those towers fell.
