September 11th by Cade

September 11th 2001, a terrible day. The disaster started when three planes were flying. Little did the people on board know that they pilots were from Iraq and planned to crash into the Twin Towers! What happened next was terrible. As two of the places hit the Twin Towers, a massive explosion went off. The Twin Towers were coming down! Thousands of people died and thousands more when the Twin Towers hit the ground and caused another explosion, this time a massive dust and ash explosion. There was one more plane still high in the sky. To this day people think the plane was aimed for the White House but somehow the people on board found out that the pilot and co-pilot were from Iraq and their plan. The people on board marched up the aisle and took control. Instead of crashing into the White House the plane crashed into a wheat field not far away. Meanwhile, back where the Twin Towers had fallen panic was thick in the air. Drivers were confused because some of the power had gone out. I don't know exactly how many people died but I know a ton of people died. A day later, all that was on television was news about the event that happened the day before. For one or two weeks people hung flags on cars and houses. There was hardly a car or house without a flag. Those terrorists were trying to make us afraid and they did. They also tried to destroy us but they didn't. They only made us stronger.
