9/11 attack
On September 11, 2001, at 8:45 a.m. on a clear Tuesday
morning, there was an Americans airline plain that crushed the north tower of
the World Trade Center in New York.
The impact of the attack left a burning hole around the 80th floor of
the 110-story skyscraper. That tremendous crash instantly killed hundreds of people
and left trap hundreds of people in the high floors. 18 minutes after the first plane hit a second
Boeing 767 United Airlines Flight 175–appeared out of the sky, turned sharply
toward the World Trade Center
and sliced into the south tower near the 60th floor. The collision caused a
massive explosion that showered burning debris over surrounding buildings and
the streets below. In that terrible attack 343 firefighters lost their life’s
and 3,000 people died in the World Trade Center and 23 New York City police officers and 37 Port
Authority police officers who were struggling to complete an evacuation of the
buildings and save the office workers trapped on higher floors. Only six people
in the World Trade Center towers at the time of their collapse survived. Almost
10,000 others were treated for injuries.
