On September 11th 2001, 4 planes were hijjacked and crashed into different places in the Northeast US. They were hijacked by a group called the Al Quadea, but the Taliban were the actual human beings hijacking the plane. One plane took off from Dulles National Airport in Washington DC, and once hijacked, it was crashed into a side of the Pentagon. Two took of from Logan National Airport in Boston and each crashed into one of the twin towers (The World Trade Center in NY). The 4th and final one came from NJ and crashed into a field in Rural Pennsylvania. It was hijjacked, then the passengers took over the cockpit, and crashed the plane into a field, saving many other people by veering it off of the path to the Capitol.
Was anyone's parents affected by this? I love learning about it.
Now a moment of silence honoring all the fallen men and women. And the heroes from Flight 93.
