911 Memorial

The  September 11 attack ( als9o referred as 911) were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks launched by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda upon the united states in New York City and the Washington, D.C ., metropolitan area on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks killed almost 3,000 people , including more than 400 police officers and firefighters, and caused at least $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage.

Four passenger airliners were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorist so they could be flown into buildings in suicide attacks. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction.

Unfortunately, there were not many survivors to find: Two firemen were pulled from their trunks in a cavity beneath some wreckage, and a few people were pinned who at the edge of the pile. By September 12 , workers had rescued all of the people who were trapped at the site.

                             The 911 Memorial Museum

The 911 Memorial museum honors the memory of those killed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the February 26, 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In doing so, it aspires to educate the millions of people expected to visit the World Trade Center each year in hopes of building a better future. 

I think that this was a disaster for all the family members that lost some one in the attacks.
