One of the many time in which
symbolism is used to show a disaster. Much better than saying
September 11th because just saying that doesn't paint a picture into somebody's mind about what the disaster was about. Also, if you use your brain you can think up many others.
Example:
- Boat hit the iceberg:
Titanic sinking
- Bullet hit the president: Assassination of
JFK
- Planes shot the beach:
Pearl Habor
- Planes hit the towers:
9/11
