On September 11th, 2001, a series of terrorist attacks were carried out against the United States. Four planes were hijacked by members of the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda, with two planes crashing into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, one into the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and the fourth crashing in a field in Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to take control of the plane. The attacks resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people and caused significant damage to both the physical infrastructure and emotional fabric of the country.
Many Americans remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they first heard about the tragic events of 9/11.

The September 11 attacks (also referred to as 9/11)nb 1 were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda on the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

Four passenger airliners operated by two major U.S. passenger air carriers (United Airlines and American Airlines)—all of which departed from airports in the northeastern United States bound for California—were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists. Two of the planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Within an hour and 42 minutes, both 110-story towers collapsed, with debris and the resulting fires causing partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the World Trade Center complex, including the 47-story 7 World Trade Center tower, as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon (the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense) in Arlington County, Virginia, leading to a partial collapse of the building's western side.

I once heard a comic (Red Scott) ask a bartender for a 9/11.
The bartender looked quizzically at him for a second and asked, "Pardon Me?"
"Yeah, a 9/11" he answred. " It's A Manhatten and 2 Kamikazes"

A event that happened that caused a series of following things in the world, for example taught america not to fuck with random countries and randomly raise wars, as most of the planet agrees, and proved that it is a anti-Semitic, racist country due to the fact they accused the religion and not the small group that did it .
9/11 was a time where everyone learned something, and it was the downfall of the egotistical country that we all know.
(I don't support the event, I support what the taught)
