One by One by One The morning of September 11th, 2001, became the greatest known disaster in United States history and one of the world’s most amazing disasters of all time. That morning four planes were hijacked, two of which were slammed into the World Trade Center Towers in New York City. But that wasn’t all, because another plane flew into the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and then another plunged into the woods of a Pennsylvania community. The damage was more than you could possibly imagine. It was like seeing a movie with building just collapsing like a beautiful wine glass being dropped and smashed on the ground. We have lost so many people that will be considered heroes for the rest of eternity. I’m sure that the world will be a different place now, from airline safety to any traveling around the world. We will have justice to what has happened in the last weeks. I have seen and have heard the worst. I held friends when they have found out that there parents have been killed. I have watched those planes slam into the towers hundreds of times now, and so have you. I pray to god that there will be no more deaths from terrorism. One by One by One, the massive structures that define some of America were torn to pieces that September morning, 2001. We have seen all that we the American people have to see. Now it’s time for something new among our people. We will rebuild. We will pray for the civilians that we have lost. We will try our hardest to forget the massive destruction that we had to see, but we will remember the people that have been lost. We will have justice. As the president of the United States said, “there will be no discussion or negotiation.” We will ask every nation to join us in the face of terrorism. We will not surrender. The terrorist groups think that this is the end, but they have just struck an international spark, for this is just the beginning of there suffering. “In all the lies before us, may God grant us wisdom, and may he watch over the United States of America.”-The President of the United States.
