911 Memorials

            

           On September 11, 2001,  Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and crashed them into the Twin Towers. The third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington D.C., the fourth plane crashed on a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks resulted in an extensive deaths and destruction.  Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York  City and Washington D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters. The crash on the north tower left a burning, gaping hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper in resulting killing instantly hundreds and hundreds of people and trapping hundreds of people on higher floors which appeared to be an accident at first. Eighteen minutes later a second airplane appeared out of the sky and headed straight toward the south tower and sliced near the 60th floor. The horror in New York took a turn for the worst when the south tower collapsed sending dust and smoke in its wake.   

Reflection: My thoughts about this horrible event are what kind of people live and know what they have done. How can they live knowing they killed hundreds of innocent people and injured more people. If you ask me I would say that no matter how bad a mistake a person does it does not give you the right to kill innocent people just  because you are angry, or upset with the world. This event is truly terrifying if you think about it, nothing less if you imagine all those people that were a witness of this. There are people in the world that are cruel and don't simply care.Now if you were to go back a few moments and think about this, these people had no idea what was going on and all of a sudden something horrible and unimaginable happens.
