What happened during the September 11 terrorist attack?

Answer 1

The twin towers of the World Trade Center were not the only focus of the attacks on 11 September, 2001. Al Queda intended to bring the US and her allies to their knees in a coordinated attack on several targets.

On the morning of 11 September 2001, nineteen Al Queda trained operatives boarded and took control of four commercial flights bound for LA, and San Fransisco. At 8:46 AM Eastern Time, American Flight 11 was crashed into the north face of WTC Tower One. At 9:03 United Airlines Flight 175 was slammed into the south face of Tower Two. As both towers burned in New York City, American Flight 73 was flown at 9:37 AM into the western face of the Pentagon building in Washington DC; and, passengers of United Flight 93 attempted to retake the plane at 10:03 AM and it was driven into the ground near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Al Queda failed to learn from history. While the attacks against the US were serious, as subsequent attacks against other targets in other nations, these only serve to set our resolve. We have entered into a guerrilla war. The US is familiar with this type of conflict, and it has bloodied our national face. It will not defeat us.

Some sixty years ago Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is alleged to have said, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve," after the Empire of Japan conducted a sneak attack on the Naval shipyard at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in 1941. While the attribution of the quote is unclear, the results are of crystal clarity. This has been and is being repeated.

Answer 2

On September 11, 2001 four commercial airliners were hijacked. One crashed in Pennsylvania. Two crashed into the North and South towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. The last crashed into the Pentagon.
September,11,2001 when the Twin Towers (or World Trade Center) were hit by the two hijacked planes.

Answer 3

The first one was flown in to the World Trade Center in New York City and the third one was flown in to the pentagon. The fourth plane crashed Pennsylvania. Almost 3,ooo Americans were killed in the attacks. Oh yea, the second plane was flown in to the white house, but the passengers new they were going to die anyway so they over powered the terrorists in the plane and flew the plane in to the ground. Very sad thing that so many lives were taken in the attacks. After that in 2001 the US. and other countries attacked Afghanistan. Within a few years, the US went to war with Iraq and believed that Saddam Hussein, Iraq's leader, was hiding weapons that could be given to the terrorists. In 2003 a group of countries led by the US invaded Iraq. Saddam Hussein was captured and put on trial and executed. Now Iraq is rebuilding its country and is trying to create a democracy to help its people obtain self-rule.

My sources are from my History teacher and the library. I'm doing a report in this and so I knew this could help me. Its a very sad thing what happened in the attacks. Many women, children, and men died in it. Sad, very sad.
