The Fallen Nation

        Well, Hello again beloved reader. It 's been good to post some interesting story again. Well, in this opportunity i'm going to take you back to 2001. It has been the most dreadful 102 minutes for people of the United States of America, peculiarly New Yorker. It was one of the biggest terrorist attack on American Soil. It was badly damaged the heart of American. The whole country was in emergency situation. 

File:September 11 Photo Montage.jpg        On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining the presidency of George W. Bush. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters.

        Since then, the crash site was known as Ground Zero. Every year victims' families join a ceremony to remember the people that they care about.
