1. What happened on 9-11?
September 9th, 2001 was a horrible day, now called 9-11 or Patriot's day.If you
heard our flag or the bald eagle were iconic, or symbolic of the U.S, you should
know 9-11 is also iconic in many ways. Four American planes were hijacked.Who
did this? Al Qeuada terrorists from Pakistan did this. Two planes flew into the
international trade center, as the main event on this day. Another destroyed a us base called the
pentagon. The last one hit in shanksville, Pennsylvania. These places are all where the hijacked
planes crashed and destroyed buildings. This started the wars in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The
US passengers were the true "Patriots" of this day by trying to stop the terrorists from getting to
their true destination:Washington D.C. These valiant but ordinary people could do something
more brave than most other people that ever lived.
