This act of terrorism caused many years of fighting and many more to come.
At 8:46 on that September morning flight 11 crashed into the twin towers. Shortly after, 9:04, flight 175 hit the second tower. Within the next few minutes the towers began to fall one after another. Leaving a total of 2, 975 people that passed away. “These terrorist kill...
