911 Attack
On
September 11, 2001, at 8:45 a.m. on a clear Tuesday morning, an American
Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashed into the
north tower of the world trade center in New York City. The impact left a gaping, burning hole near the
80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people
and trapping hundreds more in higher floors. As the evacuation of the tower and
its twin got underway, television cameras broadcasted live images of what
initially appeared to be a freak accident. Then, 18 minutes after the first
plane hit, a second Boeing 767–United Airlines Flight 175–appeared out of the
sky, turned sharply toward the World Trade Center and sliced into the south
tower near the 60th floor. The collision caused a massive explosion that
showered burning debris over surrounding buildings and the streets below.
America was under attack.
reflection: i feel like all those people instead of watching the twin towers burn they should of evacuated the area.
