September 11 Attacks

Technically, Osama bin Laden did not attack the Twin Towers, or anywhere else in the U.S. on 9/11/2001. Those hijackers who were killed when the planes crashed are the one who perpetrated the attacks. It was later concluded by U.S. governmental investigations that the terrorists were affiliated with Al-Qaeda, the extremist Sunni Islamic militant group founded, and headed by, now deceased, bin Laden. Osama latter claimed responsibility, meaning that he made it known to his network that he wanted the U.S. to be attacked, and authorized his associates to carry it out on September 11.

We might never know the truth as to why bin Laden wanted to harm Americans and the United States, regardless of what he might have said publicly on video messages, but some theories include the fact that many of them disagree with American foreign policy. Reported beliefs are that the relationship between the U.S.A. and Israel is an alliance that intends to destroy Islam. Others believe it is because they are strictly following their beliefs in the Quran. Their perception of America's freedoms and the American way of life is against the law of Allah, and their "Jihad" is acting on behalf of their God in which they believe that all infidels must be put to death. Since Americans do not live the way they believe people should live, the United States is filled with infidels according to the extremist Islamic militants.

It is also believed that Osama wanted to lure the U.S. into wars, diminish support of the U.S. by its allies, and find other ways to drain the U.S. economy until it collapsed. Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy Seals in raid on his private compound in Pakistan on May 2, 2011.

He bombed the twin towers because he was jealous of our freedom

The World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., were both targeted during the September 11 attacks. A fourth plane that was thought to be targeting the U.S. Capitol building was seized by the passengers and crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Yes, the North Tower (also referred to as 1 WTC) was the second of the towers to collapse.

Primarily steel and concrete.

The September 11 attacks impacted buildings in New York City and Washington D.C. A fourth plane, believed to be destined for Washington D.C. crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

In the world trade centers (twin towers) place they are building an even bigger tower which is going to be called the freedom tower.

While the Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world from 1972 to 1974, the World Trade Center centerpieces were not the tallest buildings in the world at the time of their destruction. They were also the tallest buildings in the United States until the Willis Towers (then Sears Tower) in Chicago was completed.

Both the North and South towers of the World Trade Center were hit, and one section of the Pentagon.

The first building crashed into was one of the World Trade Center towers. Both were hit, one right after the other.

The Pentagon was later crashed into.

Another plane was headed towards the White House, but brave passengers interfered and caused the plane to crash without doing damage to anyone but the actual plane

The World Trade Center was a visible representation of America's power econimically as well as politically. My Art History Professor has always said that you can tell what a culture worships based off of what their tallest building houses. Not only did the destruction of the World Trade Center demolish the Americna symbol of advancement over other countries in the world technologically, but it also represented the heart of the American consumer culture.

The pentagon was hit 51 mins. after the first tower, and 34 mins. after the second tower was hit.

The North Tower- the tower that got impacted first

They looked like any other Saudi Arabian national. They did not look like children or grandmothers in wheelchairs like the airport screeners seem to think.

they built a little water fall to comerate all the fallen lives that we lost on 9-11

A few pieces were saved out for public exhibits and museums. Most of the thousands of tons of debris was taken to the Fresh Kills Landfill on an island near Manhattan. (The unfortunate name Fresh Kills comes from Dutch for fresh creek). Some of the steel was sold for recycling.

All of the material was examined by pathologists and cadaver dogs to locate as much of the human remains as possible.

controlled demolition, it was filled with explosives if you are talking about 11/9

The groundbreaking ceremony was held on 5th August 1966, and the ribbon cutting ceremony was held on 4th April 1973. One World Trade Centre, or the North tower, was completed in 1970 while Two World Trade Centre, or the South Tower, was completed in 1972.

this is an answer from the site http://www.serendipity.li/wtc2.htm. On that date [September 11, 2001], as is well known, 19 terrorists associated with an organization called al Qaeda hijacked four [Boeing 757 and 767] airplanes, and succeeded in crashing three of them into public buildings they had targeted - one into each of the two towers of the World Trade Center in New York, and one into the Pentagon near Washington, D.C. The World Trade Center towers were destroyed and the Pentagon was seriously damaged. Passengers on the fourth airplane sought to overpower the hijackers, and in so doing prevented that airplane from being similarly used, although it too crashed, in a field in Pennsylvania, and all aboard were killed. In all, more than 3,000 people were killed in that day's coordinated attacks.

add: good job for not plagiarizing and giving credit

The Pentagon was an attempted target, (9-11)but since the plane didn't make it there due to a passenger takeover, it was not hit and had no victims.

The United States World Trade Center Site, also known as "Ground Zero", has become the build site of the One World Trade Center, which is estimated to be completed in April of 2013.
