Upon Impact, hundreds were killed. The tower was struck at about the 80th floor, trapping all those above that floor, leaving about 30 floors of people already certainly dead. As people rushed to escape and responders flooded into action chaos emerged. Rubble falling and people dying and then the worse came.]]> 2021-06-19 03:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615208834 401889 https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615232862 Approximately 18 minutes after the first plane hit the north tower, flight 175 barreled through the sky. Swifty turning and aiming its course at the south tower it struck near the 60th floor. Trapping more people this time. America knew this wasn't a mistake, they were under attack.]]> 2021-06-19 04:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615232862 401889 https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615234911 Once both buildings were hit there was so much chaos. Firefighters and medics went to rescue those trapped in the building and under rubble, however, all the smoke and debris, and fire weren't safe even for firefighters.
343 firefighters and paramedics were killed trying to evacuate and help citizens escape the inferno of a building along with 37 Port Authority police officers.
A total of 2,763 people died at the hands of these attacks.]]> 2021-06-19 04:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615234911 401889 https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615242891 Flight 77 crashed into the west side of the Pentagon at 9:45 a.m. killing 189 people from the building and people amongst the flight.

Which was great news for us, because of this word spread quickly everywhere of the terrorist attacks so everybody knew about it. When Flight 93 was taken over by the Muslim terrorists, passengers knew what was going down. They acted fast and in a group. There were multiple recordings of phone calls of the actions as people retaliated and tried to stop the terrorists. People called as one last final goodbye to their families, some leaving their phones on the line. You could hear people forming plans and continuing to act together to take over. They were successful, however, the plane was not in for a safe landing. As the plane flipped over and started darting towards the ground at 500 miles per hour, crashing a rural field near Shanksville in western Pensilvania, killing all 44 people on board.]]> 2021-06-19 05:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615253047 401889 https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615257671 America attacked them in Palestine (which they claim was stolen from them by Britain, who then gave it to the Jews because they had a "historical right to it as aligned by the Torah" but they claim the Muslims are the most rightful to occupy the nation) a) America attacked them in Somalia, Chechnya, Kashmir, Lebanon b) the governments of their countries attack them daily under the supervision, consent and orders of America c) America stole their wealth and oil at cheap prices due to international influence and military threat d) military continues to occupy their countries e) American forces starve the Muslims in Iraq f) supported the Jews in their idea that Jerusalem is their eternal capital, and moved the embassy there, and under our protection, Israelis plan to destroy the Al-Aqsa mosque]]> 2021-06-19 05:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615257671 401889 https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615258660 Their religion and intellects command that the oppressed have the right to return aggression]]> 2021-06-19 05:26:38 UTC https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615258660 401889 https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615258853 The American people chose their government, pay taxes that fund the planes that bomb their country, , therefore it's okay if they're brought into this because of the U.S. being the "land of freedom"]]> 2021-06-19 05:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615258853 401889 https://padlet.com/401889/5jk8bkjex8g8vpw0/wish/1615260754 There was 19 Islamic terrorist total that took part in the plane attacks. Mostly from Saudi Arabia and others from several other Arab nations. 
Some of them had just come into the country a couple of months prior who acted as the muscles and force of the operations like taking control of the planes, while the others were in America for a couple of years learning how to fly commercial airplanes, being the brains of the operations.

As well as a huge drop in the economy as the government would do their best to fund and compensate for fallen family members. As well as clean up the debris and not to mention 143,000 jobs that were lost in just a month. Just the cleaning and compensation to family members added up to around 8 billion dollars. As well as the illness' that people encountered from 9/11 that adds another 7.4 billion in 2015.

Air travel is now much more tightly secured. Full body scans and pat-downs and baggage searches.
