9/11

 

 

It was 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2001, two planes crashed into the twin towers in New York City. There were people having to have to run to find a way out of the buildings and areas. Fires were chasing them down the halls; their lives at stake. In American history, 9/11was the most tragic and scariest day.

September 11, 2001 was just normal day in New York when suddenly the state was attacked by terrorists. The plane crashed in to the twin towers. Many people know them as the twin towers.   Nobody knew exactly what was coming. The people on the news thought that the first time plane that crashed into the Twin Towers was just too low. Though, when the second plane crashed they knew it wasn’t an accident. Their lives were going to change more than they knew.

There were four planes total on the attack. Two of them crashed into the World Trait Center. But nobody really talks about the other two planes. One of the two planes crashed into the pentagon. The other plane was planning to crash into another American landmark, but four brave people on that plane attacked both the hijackers and forced the plane down into Debris field.  The brave people on that plane were planning to drop the plane carefully but unfortunately that never happened and the plane came down hard. No one did survive.

It has been 10 years since the attack of 9/11.People have recovered from the damages done physically and mentally. People have also recovered the landmarks. The twin tower was made into fountains taking the place of the building. They are surrounded by granite engraved names of the people who died in the attack. People come to visit the memorials in honor of their loved ones. They are also rebuilding the twin towers. The pentagon was rebuilt also. But no one forgot about  Debris field which was also redone so that people could come and  visit it as another American landmark.

Some people have or may never recover from this incident. The accident has made places including airports, more safe and protected. America is safer than ever. Even though we seem to have recovered from this tragedy, 9/11 will never be forgotten throughout  American history.
