September 11, 2001 - The Day We Won't Forget

On September 11, 2001 nineteen terrorists intentionally hijacked four jets and crashed two of them into the Twin Towers in New York City. Both of the buildings collapsed and destroyed and damaged buildings nearby. The third plane crashed into the Pentagon in Virginia and the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania when passengers tried to overtake it. There were no survivors, many were injured, and all was gone.

The Pentagon was repaired within a year and a memorial was built on the site. Also, one of the World Trade Centers is being rebuilt and the other was finished in 2006 as an office tower.

Because of Nine-Eleven, we went and invaded Afghanistan which also cause us to do the Patriot Act so terrorists can't communicate without us knowing. Also, airports all around have gotten much better security and so has schools. Schools lock down all the doors during the day and sometimes have cameras at all doors.
