The World Trade Center
-The terrorists reached their goal
There is no World Trade Center any more. The USA has not experienced anything like this since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in the year of 1941. It was a devilish plan, perfect and accomplished cold as ice.
The attack went right to the heart and brain in the USA. The symbols for American pride and safety: The World Trade Center and Pentagon.
In a few hours everything changed- with dead people, crashing airplanes, overthrown buildings, panic, chock, fear, anger and revenge as a series of feelings, September 11, 2001 was an ordinary sunny morning on Manhattan. About 50000 people were on their way to their jobs in World Trade Center which were 110 floors high and had 104 elevaters each.

2001 was an ordinary sunny morning on Manhattan. About 50000 people were on their way to their jobs in World Trade Center which were 110 floors high and had 104 elevaters each.
Suddenly, at 8.48 am (American time) an airplane flew right into the north tower. A few minutes later another airplane flew right into the south tower. People from the towers tried to ran down as fast as they could. Some came out out of the buildings but some disappered on the way. Some people who were too high up in the towers couldn't do anything but jump. The people on the streets could see them fly down from the towers.
Twenty minutes later another airplane crashed down next to the American headquarters Pentagon in Washington. And a fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania.
Every airport in the USA closes and the White House is evacuated. No one understands what has happened. Mahattan was full of people who were running, screaming and very chocked. Many people were even dead, too many.
People are afraid
I think that the attack on the World Trade Center was a very unnecessary and unfair act of Afghanistan. Too many innocent people lost their lives september 11, 2001. There weren't just people who died but also people who now suffer mentally after the attack.
The world is never going to be the same. Airports have three times better security. Now they always check on why people are travelling in or out of the country.
America attacked towards Kabul in Afghanistan after the attack on World Trade Center.
I think that was a very stupid thing to do. I would have liked the USA to just try to ignore them. In this case I think that was impossible. But violence is just causing violence. If they don't stop fighting there will never be an end.
I have never been in the USA but I take it for granted that no one who lives there has forgotten what happened September 11, 2001. That day is a nightmare for everyone.
Terrorism is never a way to improvements.
