The 9/11 Attack
September 11, 2001 was such a nightmare especially for those who were involved with the incident; those who died or suffered major injuries. On this day 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qauda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes flew into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, the third one hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Also known as the 9/11, the attacks had a result of a lot of dead people and destruction. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York and Washington, also including 400 police officers and firefighters. The first plane crash, on the Trade Center, left a burning hole near the 80th floor, killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in the higher floors. Then, like about 18 minutes later a second plane appeared out of the sky, turned towards the World Trade Center and glided into the 60th floor. This crash caused a massive explosion and as well killed many. ( History.com )
