My 9/11 Experience

Today is the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S., and it was the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history. Terrorists hijacked 4 airplanes and crashed 2 of them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, another airplane crashed into the Pentagon in Virginia, and the final plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, it was targeted to crash into the U.S. Capitol. Almost 3,000 people lost their lives on that day. This is one of the biggest days in U.S. history and it should never be forgotten. I don't remember much about that day since I was only 6 years old. I remember getting out of school early and seeing some footage on TV, but I didn't know anything about terrorism, I just thought the planes crashed into the buildings by accident. After that day, I remember seeing the news about the planes crashing into the buildings everywhere, on newspapers, tv, etc. I still didn't know that it was a terrorist attack. I know now what that day was and what really happened. Terrorism is a horrible thing in this world and I just wish it will stop once and for all, no good comes out of terrorism. The World Trade Center is being rebuilt, but what was there before is not being rebuilt. Instead of rebuilding the original Twin Towers, they're building a whole new design, with new towers, including 1 World Trade Center, which is the biggest part of the whole project. I personally like the new design, but I wanted the Twin Towers back, and so did a lot of people. I would choose the Twin Towers over that new design. If it was to happen, I would still like to see the Twin Towers built somewhere else in Manhattan and used for something else other than it was used for since the new design is going to do what it did before. I really want to see the Twin Towers, but I don't think it will ever happen, I never really got to see them in person when I was young.
