9/11 Gonzalo Sandoval

On September 11  Al Qaeda terrorist boarded and hijack 3 planes with passengers and proceeded to carry out a suicide coordinated attack on the twin towers in the World Trade Center. The first plane arrived at 8:46 am a hijacked American airline plane hit the north tower into the floors of 93-99 killing everyone on board and hundreds of people in the building. At 9:03 AM the second airplane hit the south tower and the plane hit floors 75-85 killing everyone on board and even more on those floors. At  9:37 AM crash into the western façade of the Pentagon in Washington D.C killing 59 on board and 125 military and civilian personnel inside the building. At 9:59 AM the south tower begins to collapse. On the hijacked plane 93 the passengers and crew learn about the attack attempted to try to take back the plane, but in response the hijackers purposely crashed the plane into a field. At 10:28 AM the north tower has now collapsed.  At the end of the day at 8:30 PM Bush returned to the white house and began to call these attacks “evil despicable acts of terror” and declare America and its allies would “stand together  to win the war against terrorism.”

Reflection: My thoughts about this was I couldn’t believe the terrorist thought it would be okay to kill innocent people, the event made me feel upset and wonder why that would happen.
