9/11

   Well today, unfortunately, we are talking about something sad :(. 9/11 the tenth anniversary. First I will tell you guys what happened on September 11th 2001. Basically what happened is two planes crashed into the twin towers a.k.a. the world trade center.. One also crashed into the pentagon and in a field in Pennsylvania. It was really sad because over 4000 people died in the world trade centers, the pentagon and the terrorist planes.  Everything was evacuated including the white house, and many other places. It was a day of panic for most Americans. Here is the times for the disaster:
   First plane hit north tower: 8:52
Second plane hit South tower: 9:03
Third plane hit Pentagon: 9:38
Fourth hit field in Pennsylvania: 10:10
       9/11 really impacted America. People were terrified of the thought that someone was out to get America. However, instead on bringing us down, it actually brought us together as a country. America was more united than ever after that attack. It was the exact opposite of what the terrorists wanted to happen. We also found out that Osama Bin Laden was the leader of the terrorist group that caused 9/11. 

     Now Americans, think back to 9/11 as a terrible tragedy. We also are stronger because of it. I think people will still continue to think of 9/11 this way. It defiantly made an impact on our lives especially family members of people who died in 9/11. This event will never be forgotten.

    I think the best way to remember 9/11 is to honer all of the people who died in the crashes. I think it's really nice to have a ceremony every year to commemorate it. It is for people to remember the bravery of people who tried to save others. I really think it should be remembered to honer everyone who died. The ceremony this year was really sweet and also sad but it was good that they had it. A monument is now built where the twin towers were. It is now called Ground Zero:

     Some of the worst things about 9-11 was all of the deaths. So many people died. People who had families and lives until that awful day. It was also terrible to know that someone hated us so much that they would kill themselves just to kill thousands of other people. It's just really scary to know people are out there that want to kill us.
      The only good thing is it brought us together as a nation. No matter if you were white, black, Indian, or any other culture. We all came to together and were stronger. 

     I would also like to tell you guys about the crash in the Pennsylvania. Anyway, some passengers knew that the plane was hijacked so they went up and fought the terrorists so they could get control the plane. Unfortunately, the terrorists pointed the plane straight down and they went down at 500 mph in the middle of a field. Can you even imagine how brave those people were? They could have crashed into the White House or something. They saved hundreds, maybe thousands, of lives. I think it's important to remember these people and the day of 9-11.
