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

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.
