On September 11, 2001, members of the terrorist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes. At 8:45 in the morning, an American Airlines plane crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. Hundreds of people were killed instantly, and hundreds more were trapped in the burning building. It was thought to be only a freak accident. Less than twenty minutes later, a United Airlines plane crashed into the south tower. It was no longer an accident, but an attack. Later on that morning the third plane hit the Pentagon, and passengers overtook the last plane and crashed it into a field in Pennsylvania. The combined damage from all four planes resulted in the deaths of over 3,000 people, and injuries to another 10,000. Only six people who were

The creation of the memorial allow people to come together to reflect on what happened there, not alone but as a community in a public space where people gather and congregate. My experience there was over all a very moving one. I believe every American should visit the memorial and take time to remember the women, men and children that lost their lives at ground

It was a normal day in New York City, with business workers rushing into the World Trade Center. They thought it was going to be like any other day in the office but they were wrong. These office workers were in for the biggest surprise of their life. Planes flown by hijackers crashed into both the Twin Towers, and the Pentagon was hit by a plane as well. Now there is a memorial in New York where the bases of the towers were honoring the people who died that day.

Traveling to the 9/11 memorial brought a heavy feeling to my heart today. It’s pretty hard to go somewhere and stand on the ground where thousands and thousands of people lost their lives. Especially since I personally lost loved ones during the attacks. Not only did the going into the memorial bring a different feeling to you, it was also one of the best educational experiences I’ve had in a while. I learned so many things that happened that day than I really actually knew about. For instance, I never really had full insight on what had actually happened on the place during the hijacking, but after memorial had all these short little clips that explained each scenario in depth. Another one of my favorite parts of the memorial

The 9/11 Memorial has about 300,000 people visit it each year, you should be one of them to. If you go to New York the 9/11 Memorial is becoming one of the top tourist attractions in the city, and I can’t see why it's not at the top already. The 9/11 Memorial is a beautiful pool with gushing water running down its sides, and within the pool there is a smaller square pool that still has water running down to it. Just to top it off, it has trees that surround the pools, just imagine it when it’s in the fall and all the leaves turn colors and the leaves may float down and into the pool. The best part about visiting the 9/11 Memorial is that it is free! You should be one of the 300,000 a year.

New York: 9/11 Memorial and Museum: This memorial and museum of 9/11 was my favorite site in New York and it also taught me a few life lessons. When you first walk up to the sight there are these two breathtaking fountains in the shape of the square buildings that use to stand straight up. Then around the squared fountains the names of all the victims are written. Just by looking at the fountains it taught me the first lesson, to never take life for granted no matter the situation. Realizing that the victims arose that morning not realizing that it would be their last morning getting out of bed, it disturbs and rattles you a bit. When I sat back and just watched the water flow in the middle of the fountain, it truly hit me that these were all

September 11, 2001, an Islamic extremist group known as Al-Qaeda brought a series of devastating attacks upon major targets in the United States. 19 militants apart of this group were separated on four different airliners that were successfully completed the attacks on the world trade centre in the heart of New York City, The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and one that was believed to be heading for the white house that crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

The attacks had

It took me a while to decide which place to go for my museum paper. I honestly didn’t care about my interest at first and depended on the convenience to get to the place. I thought of going to the Grand Central or Louis Armstrong’s house just because I have been there for multiple times and the museum was close to where I stayed. However, after I did some research for other places to visit and unintentionally happened to watch a documentary called, ‘102 Minutes That Changed America’ on YouTube, I changed my mind right away to visit the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. I was in extreme shock for few hours from virtually experiencing the horrific event of 9/11. I lost my words when I saw the scene of people jumping out from the building. My heart was beating and my eyes started to tear from seeing all those horrific events that happened on that day. As I have never learned about this case in detail, everything in the film was too extreme for me to comprehend the situation that was being played in front of my eyes. Therefore, after finishing watching the film, I felt an urge to visit the Memorial and Museum to have a better understanding about the incident.

September 11th, 2001 is now a date discussed in history lessons. While the post-9/11 generations may not have witnessed the changes of this tragic event, which rapidly filled every crevice of US society, they have an entire generation ready to narrate what they witnessed on and after that day. The expeditious reaction made a permanent mark on American culture.
