9/11

         I don't remember much about the disaster that occurred on September 11th. I  do remember my parents talking about something terrible, but I don't think that I asked them what it was. I know that my babysitter, who was also my friend of my parents and I, was in New York City when it happened, but she didn't get hurt. I don't have any memories of it, but I'm sure that it was a terrible thing.

         I know that when some terrorists hijacked a plane and crashed them on purpose in New York City! Almost 3,000 victims died and the 19 hijackers died too. Early in the morning of September 11th, 2001, at 8:46 a.m. the plane hit the World Trade Center's North Tower. Then, at 9:03 a.m. another plane hit the South Tower. (This is completely random, but I just realized that I am writing this at 9:11 o'clock a.m.!!) Another group of terrorists flew another American Airlines plane into the Pentagon (the U.S. department of defense headquarters) and 9:37 a.m. Some passengers on the planes used the airplane phones and said that a couple of hijackers were on each plane.


      This is one of the most terrible things, in my mind. I don't know how anybody could purposely crash planes and kill themselves, and thousands of innocent people. I have no clue why anybody would do that; the idea is so horrible! Those people must have had a lot wrong with them, because I still don't understand how someone could do something as wicked and disgusting and horrible as that...
