the twin towers

The Twin Towers

On September 11, 2001, it was a normal day in New York; children were going to school, people were boarding planes, people were going shopping in Downtown Manhattan, and families were saying goodbye to their loved ones who worked at the World Trade Center. Little did anyone know that this standard day in New York would change their lives. Around 8:40 am an unexpected plane was headed for the north twin tower. At 8:46 am the first plane hit one of the twin towers causing it to burn up in flames and immediately killing several hundreds people. Firefighters and paramedics rushed to save people but some died too. At 9:03 am a second plane was headed into the second twin tower. Both buildings collapsed and turned into dust. There were two other planes in the same attack, the third plane crashed into the pentagon on D.C., and the fourth crashed an a field in Pennsylvania.

My first memory of the 9/11 terrorist attack was on May 2, 2011. This was the day Osama Bin Laden was tracked down and killed by the US. i remember it was already night time and i was watching the news. My sister came into the room and was shouting that Osama had been killed. I didn't know he was the person who planned the 9/11 terrorist attack until she had explained it to me. 

 My thoughts on this attack is that it was horrible. I feel upset when i think about this day because so many lives were ended. People were jumping out of buildings and some couldn't escape the towers in time to save themselves. My personal insight is that Bush did 9/11.
