The September 11 attacks

It was 8:13 a.m. on Tuesday 11 September, 2001. New

York, Arlington County, and Stonycreek Township were having a
normal day until something disastrous happened.
In the morning of the eleventh of September, four planes
were flying on their normal route, when a group of 19 terrorists
from the al-Qaeda organization hijacked the four planes.
The first two planes that the hijackers had stolen crashed
into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York
City, two of the world’s five tallest buildings at that time. The
third plane struck the Pentagon, the U.S. Department of
Defense headquarters in Arlington County, and the last plane
hit a rural area from Pennsylvania.
The attacks had a huge impact on the world, about 3000
people were killed because of the strikes and they instigated a
war between the USA and Islamist terrorist organizations that
lasted almost 20 years.
