9/11

Wow, has it seriously been 10 years?
I was 6 when 9/11 happened and I never really understood or got told much about it but over the past few years on this date there have been a lot of TV documentaries about what happened and the aftermath of the plane crashes. These programs devastated me and I realized what a true disaster this had had upon the world, let alone America, or more specifically, New York. People lost their partners, their parents, their children due to this disastrous event which should never have happened.

There were a total of 2,996 deaths, including the 19 hijackers and 2,977 victims. The victims included 246 on the four planes (from which there were no survivors), 2,606 in New York City in the towers and on the ground, and 125 at the Pentagon. All the deaths in the attacks were civilians, except for 55 military personnel killed at the Pentagon.

It's so sad to think that 2,996 people lost their lives due to this. Well, 2,977 innocent people lost their lives to the stupid acts of some stupid terrorist hijackers.

I cannot put into words how angry those 19 people make me feel. They didn't only shorten the lives of nearly 3,000 people but they broke the hearts of thousands of loved ones. They killed the fathers of children who would never be able to meet their daddy. They destroyed a fricken hell of a lot.

My heart goes out today to everyone who lost someone in the Twin Tower attacks which took place 10 years ago.
