On September 11th 2001, there was a massive terrorist attack against the United States. The attack was committed by the Islamic terrorist group called Al-Qaeda. The attack was especially shocking because the terrorist group hijacked four Boeings, taking commercial flights among several points in the United States. The most scandalous conspirator was the one that ended up with two planes crashing against the World Trade Centre.
The first plane crashed into the north tower at 8:46 am (EST) so immediately a lot of television channels and journalists went there to film that horrible moment not only for the United States’ history, but for the world's history. That is why when the second plane (that was travelling from Boston to Los Angeles) crashed into the second tower, there were a lot of television cameras to film the horrifying moment and spread the pictures of the suicide attacks all over the world.
Of course, just three hours after these events, the president of the U.S.A, George W. Bush, declared a maximum state of alert and the White House was evacuated. If we take into account the people who were in the planes and the people who were in the World Trade Centre, (we have to think that the World Trade Centre was an office building so there were thousands of people working there on a normal weekday), there were about three thousand people in total who died.
On 2001, I was only two years old, so I cannot remember any of this, but I have read a lot of information about it. I cannot help wondering about the organisation and the intelligence of the attacks and also feeling absolutely scared and deceived about the idea that there can be human beings able to commit such a terrible crime against one country and humanity in general.
