9/11

The attack started on 9/11/2001 when terrorists hijacked 4 planes. Two of the planes crashed to the twin towers and the other two went to different places. One crashed into the pentagon and the other was targeted to Washington DC but  the plane was overtaken by the passengers and then crashed in Virginia. The attacks on that day were planned by members of Al- Qaeda and caused a total of 3,000 deaths and caused at least $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage.

The United States responded to the attacks by declaring a war on terror and by invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban who were harboring Al-Qaeda. The leader of the attack Osama bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011

On November 16, 2006 the construction of One World Trade Center began and has been completed. 

Reflection: I think that the attack on 9/11 was a very big part of US history and marked the beginning of the century for the United States. I think that the attack was a terrible think to do and that it was a tragic event that will be remembered by everyone in the country every September 11.
