9/11
Today I'm going to talk about the twin towers during 9/11. The twin towers were 2
high towers located on the southern tip of Manhattan in New York. 9/11 is an aircraft
disaster that occurred on September 11; hence the name. During the disaster, 2
passenger planes flew into the twin towers The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people;
coming from 87 different countries. 24 more missing are assumed to be dead.
at a quarter to 9 a hijacked plane came into the north tower, causing a very large
explosion. 20 minutes later the other plane flew into the
south tower which was also a hijacked plane. It has been on fire for an hour, in that
hour hundreds of firefighters have climbed the stairs to try to save the people; more
than 300 firefighters have also died as a result. After this hour, the south tower
collapsed. the people who were still in the building at the time did not survive. half an
hour later the north tower also collapsed and the same thing happened here. Many
people have also jumped out of the window due to stress and died as a result
Many people who initially survived the disaster have eventually died of lung
diseases. Everyone who was on the planes also died. The number of deaths is
known but still not all people have been identified because these people have been
completely destroyed.
A multi-milionair from Saudi Arabia was responsible for the attack together with his
terrorist organization Al Qaeda.
passengers and flight attendants made contact with people on the ground during the
flights. With the help of this information, more has become known about what
happened on board. There were four or five hijackers in each of the hijacked planes,
armed only with knives; Several crew members were stabbed. The hijackers used
box cutters, which were not yet banned on board in the US at the time. This allowed
them to pass through security checks.
The attack on September 11 had a major impact on people from all over the world. It
has also done a lot of damage to the US economy. More than 400,000 jobs have
been lost and damage amounts to $2 trillion.
Two decades have passed. And yet 9/11 feels like yesterday. We owe it to the
victims of 9/11 to continue protecting our way of life
So that evil will never triumph
