911 Memorial

On September 11, 2001 four planes were hijacked by a group associated with the al-Qaeda. One plane crashed on a field in Pennsylvania, another crashed into the Pentagon just outside Washington DC. The last two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York. Over 3,000 people were killed on 911 including police and firefighters. 13 years later people from around the country give their prayers and respect to the all the innocent people who died on this tragic day. I first heard of the attacks of 911 in the second grade when they showed us two pictures of New York City one before the disaster and one after. They asked us what we seen different in the pictures and then followed up explaining what happened on September 11, 2001.
