9/11

9/11 was a attack on the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001. It was 9/11's anniversary just less then a week ago. Terrorists flew two planes into the Twin Towers the first one at 8:46 and the second one at 9:03 am. Each tower was just over 1,350 feet tall and had 110 floors. More than 14,000 people were already there which was only part of the 50,000 people that worked there. The first Tower to be hit was the North Tower and the second one was the South Tower. Some people were trapped in the walls or in the elevators. I think we learn about this 15 years later because it was a important part of history and needs to be recognized because 2,749 people died and this is including emergency workers, airline crew members, and passengers. That day the New York Fire Department lost 343 firefighters. I think it was a very sad day and everybody that helped out should be thought of as a hero.
