9/11 happened exactly ten years ago in 2001. It was a series of co-ordinated suicide attacks by the al-Qaeda terrorists. They hijacked four airplanes and crashed two into the World Trade Centre and caused it to collapse. The third airline crashed at the Pentagon while the fourth which originally targeted Washington crashed into a field. There were no survivors on all the planes. Total lives lost was close to 3,000 that day including workers in the buildings, firefighters, on those on board the airplanes.
I remember watching the twin towers of the World Trade Centre collapsing on the news as though I was watching a Steven Spielberg movie! It was a very gloomy day especially in America.
I wonder what will happen next now that Osama is dead. Will there really be peace? Or will it instigate a retaliation by the al-Qaeda? There are as it is enough natural disasters taking many innocent lives happening now and then. Why is there a need for more unnecessary lost lives?
