On September 11, 2001, the day that shook many countries around the world and changed many people’s lives. This day was just an ordinary morning until two huge planes, thought to be commercial planes hit both of the World Trade Centers (Twin Towers) in New York, not only the people in New York were affected as two other planes were also crashed into the Pentagon, one of the biggest government private properties and around a village located in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. This was one of the worst incidents that had killed thousands of lives and destroyed thousands of families. This occasion was thought to be a terrorist attack by the infamous Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda, this was later proven true. The United States evidence to back up their …show more content…
According to government experts, say this was due to the damaged caused by the planes flames weakening the structure causing a domino effect making it collapse. But other professionals say that the material used to structure these two massive buildings were strong enough to withstand the high temperatures and damage caused by the planes. The building started to collapse from the bottom, making its way down until everything was dust, this seemed suspicious to many experts as it would have been almost impossible for the building to fail at the bottom instead of the top. This had many people thinking that the only way this would have occurred; was it explosives had been detonated inside the two buildings. A video that was recorded from another building a few blocks away shows a loud bang which seems to be an explosion just seconds the buildings began to fall. Also, many workers, such as janitors and security had been restricted to visit certain places of the buildings, also, days before the attack, the lower levels of the buildings had been closed to due maintenance which seems a bit …show more content…
Many witnesses say that they saw a huge play crash into the Pentagon while others say they saw a small plane, a car and some even say they had not seen any sort of vehicle come in contact with the building. The most suspicious part is that there was no plane wreckage such as the engines, sides and back wings and the body itself. Only some small metal pieces could be found. When the government was questioned about this, they replied with a simple answer, saying the plane had been melted due to high temperatures of the fuel leakage, many people believed this was a false claim, according to the manufacturers of the plane engines stated that the material used to construct the plane could handle 500 degrees of heat while the fuel could only ignite a temperature of 300 degrees Celsius thus meaning it would have been impossible for the plane engines to be liquefied. A huge hole could be seen on the opposite side of the pentagon, but the plane had never reached far enough to become in contact with the wall, therefore the plane couldn’t have caused this. A video recorded by a surveillance camera near the Pentagon displays a graphic video of an explosive being detonated on the outside walls of the Pentagon, it nor shows a vehicle coming on impact to the Pentagon. According to many of the security workers in the Pentagon, men dressed in black requested to visit and observe all of the surveillance

    Have you ever wondered why did Al-Qaeda launched a terrorist attack on the United States? If you really think about there really isn’t a reason. Why kill thousands of people just to become known as a person who killed thousands of people? That sounds kind of gruesome. Doesn’t it sound kind of stupid to kill yourself in order to kill others.…

    Over one hundred first responders, firefighters, and pedestrians heard explosions shortly before the buildings fell. The American people were told that the fire from the jet fuel weakened the steel joists enough for the building to collapse (Towers Collapse). However if that were true the buildings would not have fallen right into themselves in a free fall, they would have fallen to the side or leaned to the side because the impact and fire would have been hottest at the point of impact.
