9/11 Terrorist Attacks

In September 11 2001 tragedy struck America when Islamic terrorists attacked important buildings like the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, where thousands died a tragic death. The terrorist hijacked Airline passenger planes and used them to crash into important buildings killing many lives in the process.

There were four planes that were hijacked by the Islamic terrorist to be used in destroying designated buildings. 

The first plane that was hijacked was the American Airlines flight 11 plane, which flew from Logan International Airport in Boston at 7:59 am destined to Los Angeles International Airport, but was diverted by the terrorists crashing into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 am, killing all passengers on board. 

The second plane that was hijacked was the United Airlines flight 175 plane, which flew from Logan International Airport in Boston at 8:14 am on route to Los Angeles International Airport, but was flown off-course by the terrorists into the South Tower of the World Trade Center at 9:03 am, killing many.

The first two planes caused the collapse and destruction of the World Trade Center into rubble killing thousands in the process. 

The third plane that was hijacked was the American Airlines flight 77 plane, which flew from Washington Dulles International Airport at 8:20 am destined to Los Angeles International Airport, but was crashed into the west wing of the Pentagon at 9:37 am killing more than 100 people. 

The fourth plane that was hijacked was the United Airlines flight 77 plane, which flew from Newark Liberty International Airport destined to San Fransisco International Airport, the passengers successfully regained the airplane, but tragically crashed, because the terrorist purposefully crashed it to the ground in Pennsylvania. 

The tragedy killed thousands of people immediately or in the long term from the toxic debris causing scars to thousands of American families. The attacks caused America to declare the war on terror which caused war and bloodshed in the middle east.
