911 Memorial
September 11, 2001 was the day four airplanes pierced
through the sky and crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, a
Pennsylvania field, and the Pentagon killing more than 3,000 people. Causing it
to become one of the most remembered dates in history. At 8:46 a.m. Mohammed Atta and the other hijackers aboard American
Airlines Flight 11 crash the plane into floors 93-99 of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, killing everyone on board and hundreds inside the
building. Hours later at 9:02 am after initially instructing tenants of the
WTC’s South Tower to remain in the building, Port Authority officials broadcast
orders to evacuate both towers via the public address system; an estimated
10,000 to 14,000 people are already in the process of evacuating. Minutes later at 9:03 am –
Hijackers crash United Airlines Flight 175 into floors 75-85 of the WTC’s South
Tower, killing everyone on board and hundreds inside the building. Half an hour later at 9:37 am Hijackers aboard Flight 77 crash the plane into the western
façade of the Pentagon in Washington,
D.C., killing 59 aboard the plane and 125 military and civilian personnel
inside the building. Finally at 9:59 am we come to know that The South Tower of the World Trade
Center collapses. At 10:07 am after passengers and crew members
aboard the hijacked Flight 93 contact friends and family and learn about the
attacks in New York and Washington, they mount an attempt to retake the plane.
In response, hijackers deliberately crash the plane into a field in Somerset
County, Pennsylvania, killing all 40 passengers and crew aboard. On board
flight 93 a man named Todd Beamer
nine other passengers and five flight attendants were ordered to sit on
the floor in the rear of the plane two of the hijackers were in the cockpit
with the door locked behind them. The man with the bomb stayed in the back of
the plane, near Beamer's group. Toward the end of his conversation with
Jefferson, Beamer said the plane appeared to have changed directions a few
times. Later, it would be determined that it had flown west from Newark to near
Cleveland, then turned back to the southeast toward Pittsburgh. Beamer then
told Jefferson that he and the others had decided to "jump on" the
hijacker wearing the bomb. Jefferson could hear shouts and commotion and then
Beamer asked her to pray with him. They recited the 23rd Psalm. He got
Jefferson to promise that she would call his family, then dropped the phone,
leaving the line open. That's when Jefferson heard what Lisa Beamer believes
were her husband's last words: "Let's roll." Officials confirmed
flight 93 crashed at 9:58 a.m. Todd Beamer and the passengers on flight 93
where the first citizen heroes of the 21 St century against terrorism. Even 13
years later America still tributes their bravery and sacrifice.
In May 2, 2011 Osama bin Laden,
the mastermind behind the September 11th attacks, was finally tracked down and
killed by U.S. forces at a hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan
I believe that 9/11 will always remind our nation
of how strong we are, 9/11 left a reminder of what our nation is capable of and
I’m proud to say that I live in America where people risked their lives, or
love their country enough to self-sacrifice themselves for the country and its
people. As for the dumb people who caused so much pain to our country and the innocent
people just for their dumb beliefs and because we aren’t the same or believe in
the same thing I believe they should be brought to the families who lost their
loved ones so they can see the way they suffer being put into jail for the horrible
crime they created I believe that they shouldn’t even be considered human for
creating such a horrible event where many people lost their lives for some dumb
peoples St********* and I*******.
