9/11

                        9/11 memorials  

"9/11"  is a day in which four coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda, an Islamist extremist group, that occurred on the morning of September 11, 2001. The attacks killed 2,977 people. Four commercial airplanes, deliberately crashing two of the planes into the upper floors of the North and South towers of the World Trade Center complex and a third plane into the Pentagon in Arlington, Va. The Twin Towers collapsed because of the damage from the impacts and the resulting fires. After learning about the other attacks, passengers on the fourth hijacked plane, Flight 93, fought back, and the plane was crashed into an empty field in western Pennsylvania about 20 minutes by air from Washington, DC. The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people from 93 nations. 2,753 people were killed in New York, 184 people were killed at the Pentagon and 40 people were killed on Flight 93.

            White memorial is located on the western side of the former world trade center where the twin towers used to be. It was designed by two architects, Michael Arad and Peter Walker. The pools have 30-foot waterfalls and is the largest man-made waterfalls in North America. The names of people who were killed in the 9/11 attacks in New York, at the Pentagon, and on Flight 93, as well as in the 1993 bombing at the WTC, are etched in bronze around the edges of the pools. 

    In my opinion i think that this is absolutely depressing and no one should have been put in anything so horrible like this is sad to see what people are capable of doing. When i first heard about this and what it is that happened on this memorable day i thought it was really sad and i feel really bad not for the people that died(rest in peace) but the there families because they are the once that have to deal with the passing of their family members. ITS TERRIBLE AND I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE PUT IN THEIR POSITION.
