9/11 also referred to as September 11th is a very important day to America. It was the day that a series of hijacked airplanes on a mission for a suicide attack. Two of these planes intentionally flew straight through our World Trade Center in New York City also known as the Twin Towers. One other plane crashed into the Pentagon just outside of Washington, D.C. Nobody saw it coming. 2,996 people were killed including the19 hijackers. 55 of our military personnel were killed at the pentagon. At least 200 people jumped to their deaths that day and a majority of people that died were killed instantly because of the impact. The thick smoke and intense heat would have prevented helicopters from conducting their rescues. 411 emergency workers who came to the scene died as they attempted to rescue people and fight the fires.The towers were destroyed. The city’s air was not safe anymore. Many people, including people who where searching for victims in the rubble returned with a series of health problems such as lung disease and cancer. Once the news had been spread about this tragic day a chill came in the air, then people everywhere were reaching out to help. Give a special thanks and solute to all the people that helped attempt to rescue the thousands of victims for now and forever we will always remember the day of 9/11.
