9/11 Attacks
The attack on American soil occured on September 11, 2001 at the time I was going to be born in the next 3 months in December, the first christmas since the attack. Approximately nearly 3,000 people died from the 9/11 attacks. In addition, more people have died due to the dust particles that were released from the buildings, causing most of the victims to have cancer and now there has been more deaths of victims, dwindling the number of people who had experienced that attack firsthand.
The first thought I have when someone mentions 9/11, I immediately think of the news coverage describing with horror when she saw the second place crash into the second world train center. I recollect watching the live news report with my dad, at the time it had occured he was working in one of the skyscrapers in downtown Los Angeles. So he decided that it was in his best interest to not attend work, in fears of their being an attack in Los Angeles as well. With recent terrorist attacks all over the world, I feel that more than ever we are prepared for such actions and America will always remain strong, resilient, and free.
