The Devastation Of 9/11

        Sixteen years ago America went through a horrendous event. A group of terrorist called the al-Qaida, ruled by Osama bin Laden were angry with America for giving money to the country of Israel. To seek revenge, he sent 19 men to hijacked four planes. Two crashed into the twin towers in New York City, one crashed into the Pentagon military headquarters, and the last one crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The first plane crashed into the Pentagon and killed 125 alone! Next two other planes crashed into the twin towers, close to 3,000 people died, including firefighters, paramedics, and police officers. The last one however was supposed to crash into the White House, but the passengers were aware that there plane was hijacked. So they took over the plane, and crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. All 45 passengers were killed. Years later Osama bin Laden went into hiding but was found and killed. Americans still remember this day after sixteen years and will probably remember it for the rest of there lives.
