they crashed the plane into the wtc because they knew it was a heavy populated target in the biggest city in the United States. They knew if they hit this city it would show their message. Now its 2009, and I can honestly say that they have awaken a sleeping giant and that payback is a BITCH!

The Twin Towers of New York's World Trade Center were targeted as part of a terrorist campaign against the United States by Islamic fundamentalists opposed to the US actions in the Middle East. The attack was funded in part by the Al Qaeda movement led by Osama bin Laden (also Usama), a Saudi expatriate who became active in guerrilla and terrorist movements.

The attacks on the Pentagon, NYC, and Pennsylvania took place on September 11, 2001. At 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 was crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower, followed by United Airlines Flight 175, which hit the South Tower at 9:03 a.m.

I think it's because the terrorists hate that we have more freedom than they do, but here are some other opinions.

I didnt write these, other people did.

What Caused the September 11 Attacks?
  • There are a lot of unanswered questions in the official 9/11 report from the government. It may be a hundred years before the truth is told, if ever ...
  • A brief answer is that the United States has garnered a lot of hostility because of its support for the establishment and continuation of Israel, a Jewish state. This support has angered many Islamic nations in that geographic region, leading to many radical Islamic fundamentalists calling on the United States to withdraw from the region altogether and to stop supporting Israel. Obviously, the strategic interests for energy are too important for the United States to do this, and so the people -- Islamic fundamentalists believing they have a religious duty to fight the United States' infidels -- call on followers of radical Islamic faith to make war on US citizens and the US government.
  • The high-jackers were mostly citizens of Saudi Arabia and they were thought to be members of Al Queda, led by Osama Bin Laden. A group of terrorists took control of two commercial airliners and purposely crashed them into the "twin towers" of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Another group of terrorists took control of another commercial airliner, reportedly headed for the White House in Washington, D.C., which crashed in a field in Pennsylvania after the terrorists were overtaken by a group of passengers. Another group of terrorists took control of yet another airliner and purposely crashed it into the Pentagon.
  • It is generally believed that the Koran's teachings engender in some Muslim fundamentalists a hate for westerners which caused them to commit these hostile, mass-murdering terrorist acts. The terrorists believed that giving their lives in order to kill many of their western 'infidel enemies' in the United States was a "holy" act given to them by their god. They felt it was what they were 'destined to do' for their god, and that's why they did it.
  • Muslim fanatics attacked the US because of their belief that predominantly Christian nations such as the US have deprived the Islamic world of the leading role, and the power and prestige that it rightfully deserves. Christianity and Islam have been in conflict since the Crusades (beginning in the year 1000) and US support for the nation of Israel since 1948 has greatly inflamed Muslim resentment toward the US. To the September 11th terrorists, that attack was merely the latest battle in a long running war between faiths.
  • Also, be aware that there are many people who simply hate the United States because they have a distorted view of our country. Instead of seeing the United States as the "melting pot" country that it is; that it is a "free" country; that it allows its people to believe, speak, and worship as they wish. They prefer to believe that because Americans do not believe, speak, and worship as they do, that everyone here is full of sin, going against "their" God in so many ways (religion, technology, etc.); not living our lives in their simple and prudent ways; not using only what is necessary, but rather using more than our share.

This was a suicide terrorist attack and the intent was to do as much damage as possible to the trade center, which they considered to be a symbol of American decadence.
