Twin Towers

Emma Santasiere

September 11 2001 terrorists from the Middle East crashed into the Twin Towers in New York. Almost 3,000 people died. When the first plane crashed people thought it was an accident but after the second one crashed they knew it was not an accident. Both towers collapsed within two hours. The terrorist group that was blamed was Al/Qaeda.  The person that had the idea was Osama Bin Ladin .The Twin Towers was part of the world trade center. People’s names that died are carved into the side of the memorials. The first tower that was hit collapsed at 10:28. This year on the day of 9/11/2011 the memorial was only opened to friends and family of people who died in the attacks. The unveiling of 9/11 memorial in New York brought a symbolic end to the decade. I would like to see the memorials in New York with my family.
