Flight 93 Introduction: To be a citizen who lived and actually survived the attack of 9/11 will always remember it. The sight of the two twin towers, which were said to be the tallest buildings in america. The first attack of terrorism on our land ever and maybe one of the greatest, the death of about 3,000 people and the injuries of over 6,000 people will always be remembered. This terrorist attack included a number apparently of 26 terrorist but only 19 were reported in the report, consisting of five in the three planes that actually hit their targets, and the fourth that had only four. For all of you who don't know, flight 93 was the only plane of the four that didn't crash into an important monument or area populated by citizens, but took the lives of the forty passengers in the plane. These forty citizens probably sacrificed their lives for the greater good.

“Don't worry about them Luis they're just bullies that's all they will get what comes to them in their future.” Luis stares them down until they look his way. Louis sighs as they start talking some language that He can't understand. Twenty minutes into the plane ride things got more tense. The four men quietly walked up the aisle towards the front purposely bumping into me. I watched as they walked to the front and disappeared “Whats going on!” yelled someone in the front. Then screaming as the pilots were thrown on the aisle injured and barely breathing. The plane has been hijacked! Everyone was silent for two minutes, but the plane plummeting down and down ceased the silence as the group in front ran towards the cockpit battering on the door. “Ram through the door we have to stop them!” yelled someone in the
September 11th 2001 there was a surprise attack on the United States by terrorists. The terrorists allegedly hijacked four airplanes. One was meant for the White House, one was meant for the Pentagon and the other two were meant for the twin tower which fell and many lives were lost. However some say it was not terrorists and that it was the United States government and that the government set a bomb and that they had several motives to do this.
September 11, 2001 (herein referred to as 9/11) was a day in American history, which will be remembered as the most horrific attack on American soil. This attack, carried out by nineteen Islamic extremists, was associated with al-Qaeda, and involved the hijacking of four airplanes. Two of those airplanes were hijacked and flown directly into the World Trade Center in New York City, New York. The third plane’s target was the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and the fourth plane was brought down in Pennsylvania where it is believed the passengers aboard fought the hijackers. This horrific day in history cost over 3,000 people their lives, and was labeled the worst attack on American soil since the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II.
On September 11, 2001 the United States became ground for numerous terrorist attacks, killing many innocent Americans. One of the attacks included the crashing of United Airlines Flight 93.

The flights path was originally suppose to fly from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco, California, until four Muslim Hijackers took control of the plane and were headed toward Washington D.C (Avery). The passengers were frightened for their lives and several were able to make phone calls to their families to say their last goodbyes before the crash. When the passengers were
September 11, 2001 was not just any ordinary day for the citizens of the United States and the city of New York, but a devastating attack that has put us all in shock and fear. As all of you know, the Tuesday that this country was ambushed and attacked destructively by terrorists, was one of the saddest days America has ever seen. Not only did it affect the people that were in the World Trade Center Towers and the loved ones who unfortunately passed away, but it affected our country as a whole. Scared, devastated, astonished, and surprised are just a few words that begin to describe September 11th. As separate states and people, I can confidently say that America has never been closer together as one than on that

Two of the four planes hit the Twin Towers, and the third one hit the pentagon. The fourth plane, though, was the most interesting and incredible of them all. The flight attendant called to tell everyone that the plane was hijacked, which resulted in the rest of the fliers to call their family and friends, learn
The passengers on American Flight 184 thought that they were safe, but when terrorists hijacked the plane, the passengers knew they were in danger.

New York’s iconic World Trade Center fell victim to hijacked commercial airlines filled with innocent people.

Many factors made the terrorist attacks of September 11th a day that is permanently etched into the hearts and minds of Americans.
September 11, 2001, millions of New Yorkers and American citizens woke up and started their day, unprepared and unaware for the catastrophic attack that would be taking place in just a few short hours. At 8:46 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower. The impact killed all of the passengers and crew as well as hundreds inside the building. At 9:03 a.m., a second plane, Flight 175, crashed into the corner of the South Tower killing passenger, crew, and workers who worked on floors seventy-five to eighty-three. Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. killing approximately 185 individuals (History.com Staff). Because of the damaged to the support system, fires, and impact at extremely fast speed, the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. (Lipton and Glanz). Having heard about the acts of terrorism that had just taken place in New York and Washington, D.C., a group of passengers drove their plane, Flight 93, into a Pennsylvania field killing everyone on board but possibly saving hundreds of other lives in the process. The North Tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m. 102 minutes after being struck (History.com Staff). On September 11, 2001, almost twelve hundred people were wounded or killed by “coordinated suicide attempts” by Al Qaeda terrorists. In result to the four airplanes being hijacked and used for premediated reasons, the United States government instituted new regulations for entering the country and airport security as well as expounded on systems already in place.
The September 11th attacks have had a profound effect on American history. Often referred to as “9/11”, these attacks were comprised of a group of organized terrorists known as Al-Qaeda. This extreme Islamic group assaulted several landmarks in New York City, Washington D.C, and the state of Pennsylvania. In New York City, two airliner jets were hijacked with passengers aboard and slammed into the World Trade Center. “The next attack resulted in a plane colliding into the Pentagon, government building; the last attack was in Pennsylvania when a plane crashed into a field. In total, 3,000 people died on September 11th, 2001” (History.com Staff). The September 11th-attacks have affected airport security by the new training of flight attendants, the formation of the Transportation Security Administration and new technical advances to keep up with increased terror threats.
