Today in history 9/11/2021

September 11th, 2001:

"Woah! Man!"


"There was a loud crashing sound. And then there was a pause for about a split second. And then there's like a scream or two. And everyone just ran, everybody. There was mass chaos."


Depraved terrorists commited an abhorrent and heinous crime and atrocities on September 11th, 2001, turning the day into the worst ever in American history.


The northern facade of the World Trade Center's North Tower was covered by smoke billowing high into the air at 8:46 a.m. local time, right after American Airlines flight 11 crashed into the tower, leaving Americans watching in disbelief.


American Airlines Flight 77 was then flown into the Pentagon.


"You can see the black smoke billowing out of the side of the Pentagon. It continues to billow out and cover much of the skyline here along the area."


An hour later, the twin towers came tumbling down, as fire-induced structural damage had inflicted on the towers.


The last plane, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed and was consequently obliterated near Shanksville Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m., just after passengers fought the four hijackers on board.


Hijackers on board that flight were believed to have targeted either the Capitol or the White House.


"And we will strive now very hard to save as many lives as possible. And to send a message that the city of New York and the United States of America is much stronger than any group of barbaric terrorists."


All of the suspects that America was chasing down were reportedly in the Middle East, with Osama Bin Laden, who orchestrated the attacks, on the top of America's wanted list.


Knowing IS terrorists foisted retaliation upon America, then-President George W. Bush delivered a stern warning to terrorists who would do America harm.


Then-U.S. President George W. Bush: We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbour them.


There was chaos, mayhem, and the entire New York City was in shambles.


The atrocious attacks culminated in the demise of around 3,000 people, and 25,000 injuries.
