At this point America is on its knees terrorist just attacked one of our very important buildings. After everyone was in shock not knowing what to do or what happened the towers fell in less than 90 minutes. As some time went by another plane was spotted headed to the pentagon, it crash landed into the western side of the pentagon. In all there were four planes that crashed, the last plane was headed straight towards the white house. But luckily one of the passengers stepped in and stopped it from crashing into the white house it crash landed somewhere in Pennsylvania. More than 3,000 people died that day, the death toll was way worse that anything anyone has ever seen. It has just about if not more gory than pearl harbor in 1941.

As blood trickled down the flight attendant’s neck, the screams of passengers echoed while hoping and praying that it was not their time to perish. A dark-skinned man headed towards the front of the plane, claiming the pilot as his next victim. As this occurred within the four other planes, hostages aboard knew they were living the last few moments of their life. Each tear and scream would ultimately be their last-their last breath taken as the plane crashed into a building of peace, dying with the thought of “I should have said goodbye,” as their lives were taken away in seconds by strangers. Thousands of innocent lives were lost, as well as the hearts of millions of others worldwide who felt the repercussion and heartbreak of these terrorist attacks.
