9/11 Memorial

9/11 Memorial

9/11, one of the saddest day in America. A day we will never forget. A day in which everything began normally but it ended so tragically. Many loved ones were lost.  Many families were tore apart by this one day. 19 hijackers, 4 planes, 3 buildings hit, 1 field filled with airplane parts, and about 3,000 people died in those attacks.  American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, two of the four airplanes, were crashed in to the North and South towers of the World Trade Center. The first aircraft to crash into one of the buildings was American Airlines Flight 11 which crashed into the North tower at 8:46 a.m.  United Airlines Flight 175 crashed the South tower at 9:03 a.m. American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. The last aircraft United Airlines Flight 93 did not hit a building but while its passengers were trying to seize control of the airplane again; it crashed into a field near Shankville, Pennsyvania at 10:03 a.m. All these attacks cost the lives of so many that until this day we still remember them.  I remember that the first time I heard of 9/11 or when I was fully able to understand it was when I was 8. My sister had rented a movie about it and we all went to see it. I cried because it was horrible seeing what had happened in those moments.

Reflection:  Seeing people throwing themselves of buildings, people crying filled with blood and  dirt, seeing the plane crashing into the building and imagining the thoughts of all those people in the planes and towers  when they are about to die, it’s just sad you wish there was something you could have done but you can’t. I cry every time I see a documentary or movie about because it’s just tragic seeing how 3,000 people died. It’s horrible what those 19 hijackers did but that didn't mean the U.S should have gone and killed many Iranians in the war because of these 19 did. 9/11 is a day we should remember and keep in mind because you never know what might happen in the next second of your life.
