September 11, 2001 by Katie



On September, 11, 2001, there was a terrorist attack in New York City. Some men wanted to hijack some planes to hit the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and maybe the White House. So, the men got on planes. They got out of their seats and killed the pilots. They turned the planes around to New York City and toward Washington D.C. They went full speed ahead. One plane hit the South tower. Most people thought it was just an accident. Then, a few minutes later, the second plane hit the North tower. Later, another plane hit the Pentagon. Firemen went to the buildings to try to save the people, but some of the people that were on  in the twin towers started to jump from the building. Soon, the south building fell, and a few minutes later the north building fell. So, it was a sad day for the USA.

A few weeks ago, we went to the place where the World Trade Center stood. There was a fountain with all the names of the people that died. It was so cool. If you go to New York City, you need to go there. There you have it. Thank you for reading…….Katie

  1. Katie, those of us who were alive on Sept. 11, 2001, will always remember where we were and what we were doing when it all happened--we just couldn't believe what we were seeing on TV. I'm glad you got to see the Memorials. When Kelly and I were in New York City, we went to the place where the memorials were being built. Even then, people were very quiet when they were in that area.
