911 Memorial

September 11 will be a day no one will ever forget. This happens to be the saddest day everyone ever had to live, and till today you can feel what the attack left behind. This was the day where 19 militants associated with the Islamic terrorist’s group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes crashed heavily into the world trade center’s twin towers in New York City destroying world trade 4, 5, and 6 including the command center. Than later on a third plane crashed into the pentagon just outside Washington D.C, and the fourth plane crashed right outside Pennsylvania.

This Tragic terrorist attack left the U.S in extensive death and destruction. Over 3,000 people were killed in the twin towers and in Washington. The attack left more than 400 police officers and fire fighter dead. Sadly, when this happened I was too little to reminisce on this day but it affects me just as greatly as it affects us Americans who were there to recall this day.  Just as everyone pays their respects to these courageous peoples that sacrificed everything to save lives, I hold them greatly in my prayers.

Reflection: These terrorist attacks made me feel disgusted, sad, and just shocked. I could not believe the measures al-Qaida took to destruct the United States and kill our people. This will always be a day everyone will grieve for and till today you can still feel this act of terrorism and it’s almost like the aftershock of the 9/11 Attacks. The courageous people who sacrificed everything and their lives will be forever in my prayers, only they know what they felt.
