Aoasha--World+Trade+Center

==== Do you remember that tragic day on September 11, 2001? Well if you don’t there are a lot of people who do remember it, as thousands of people watched thousands of other tried to find an exit. Thousands of others stood outside and watched as the towers stood for their last minutes. I think the world trade center is an important landmark. It was a symbol of American wealth. New York is America’s financial center. The world trade center became a symbol of American pride and freedom after 9/11. (Nymag.com) ====

Minoru, Yamasaki designed the world trade center. He made it 110 stories high. He made it by using a tube – frame for structural design. The 767 jet that crashed into the building destroyed the inner crust of the building. That had caused the building to burn faster and caused it to fall flat. The towers were 1,360ft. He died at the age of 73. (skyscraper.org)

The World Trade center has been through a lot. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was one of the men that hi- jacked a plane on 9/11. He claims that he was the “the principal architect’’ of the 9/11 attacks. He was convicted for crimes related to war related to war.

People thought September 11th was going to be just another day at the office. They didn’t even see it coming they were staring death right in the face. Out of 2,752 people that died 343 of them were firefighters and 60 of them were police. (Skyscraper.com)Some of the people that died didn’t know that it was a plane that hit them they thought the building caught in fire. (Dwyer Jim, Flynn Kevin

Every time September 11th comes around family’s suffer. They remember what happened that tragic day. What makes me so sad about it is that the people who died didn’t know what it was that killed them. I think that the people of the United States have become closer. Those people on the plane didn’t even know each other and they decided to come together. I think those brave Americans put the true meaning into United states, because they united together on that plane to get the hijacker to take the plane down.
