As a young author, I wasn’t born until 8 years after al-Qaeda attacked the United States on 9/11/2001. I heard about it, learned about it, and researched it. The US was in mourning for hundreds of deaths when two planes crashed into the Twin Towers. Hundreds more died when the buildings collapsed. Al-Qaeda also attacked the Pentagon. With a Boeing 758 crashing into the west wall of the pentagon’s E-ring at 530 MPH. The Boeing 757 pierced through the outer E-ring of the pentagon, then passed through the D-ring, where the navy command center was, and lastly continued into the C-ring. Just because I wasn’t born doesn’t mean I don’t know what happened. The September 11th attacks of 2001 caused the deaths of 2,996 people, including 2,977 victims and 19 hijackers who committed suicide. R.I.P. to innocent lives and service members who have died in the September 11 attacks. This is What I, as a young author, know about 9/11
