9/11 Research Paper

September 11, 2001 is a date in history that will never be forgotten by American’s. On this date, the World Trade Center otherwise known as the Twin Towers collapsed by two planes getting flown into them. This was a terrorist attack by the group al-Qaeda. They were able to overtake the two planes and run them right into the buildings. This is the reason why airport security is so intensive.

Most people do not have any fears of planes because the government made it that way. If anything was to happen now no one would be ready for it since they do not even think it is possible for anything like 9/11 to ever happen again
