The September 11, 2001 attacks (often referred to as 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United states.





What happened on that day?(September 11,2001)


On that morning, nineteen terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airlines . Each team of hijackers included a member who had undergone some pilot training. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners (American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175) into the World Trade Centre in New York City one plane into each tower (1 WTC and 2 WTC), resulting in the collapse of both buildings soon afterward and extensive damage to nearby buildings.

The effects of the attack on the world :

-choices have consequences

-time to build up on some country's deterrence

-an example to the nation's government about what people feel on what they have done

-people live in fear

-muslims might be humilated especialy in countries where there is no racial and religious harmony.

Why did it happened?

The motives were to use the attacks as a pretext to justify overseas war, to increase military spending and restrict domestic civillian liberties.
