9/11 Attacks on Twin Towers, Pentagon and Flight 93 by Sean Freitag https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8 By, Sean Freitag en-us 2017-05-14 23:11:09 UTC 2026-02-11 16:52:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Ninja.png Attack on Twin Towers Numbers 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171714947 During this attack 2,753 people died. 60 of them were police officers, 343 of them were firefighters, along those numbers too is there was about 300 people that jumped to their deaths that day. And lastly 19 terrorist died, I can't even think of these terrorist as people. These towers were capable of holding 50,000 workers and about 200,000 daily visitors. These numbers are crazy high to the amount that was killed. The towers were crazy big they had 10 million square feet of footage, that is about 2,000 average basketball gyms, each floor was about 8 basketball quarts big.]]> 2017-05-14 23:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171714947 Times/Dates of Twin Towers Attack 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171717053 If you haven't figured it out by now you need to open a book but the attack happened on 9/11/01 (september 11th, 2001) in Massachusetts New York. If you've ever looked at it and thought, isn't 9/11 and 911 (the number for security/help) kind of coincidental. There is actually a reason behind that is, Al Qaeda the terrorist group that did these attacks wanted to prove multiple points and one was to show that our security is weak and they are powerful so they wanted to attack on day that meant something to us. The first (north) tower was hit at 8:46 and the second (south) tower was hit at 9:03. The south was then the first to fall because it was hit lower and couldn't hold the weight of all the stories/floors above, it then fell at 10:05,  then about 20 minutes later at 10:28 the north collapses.]]> 2017-05-14 23:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171717053 A story from a few survivors 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171723718 There is hundreds of unbelievable stories, like people going there for the first time ever and then that day being the last they were alive, and things like people not showing up for work. Watch this video though, I would tell you the story but it is nothing like seeing it and listening to the person tell it so watch this short video. When you click it, it will probably go fuzzy and say it's blocked by if you then click watch on the Watch on YouTube it will work. For this one too click the play button in the upper left corner and then click watch on youtube.]]> 2017-05-15 01:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171723718 Go visit it 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171724755 Now in New York there is a thing called ground zero, I have been to it and it is just indescribable. There is two beautiful fountains/waterfalls that seem bottomless, they have it this way to symbolize the never ending grief and sadness for the day, and to represent that the memory will go on forever and never will get forgotten. Along the fountains on the railing/edge there are names written on it, the names of the 2,977 people who died that day. Once we got to those fountains and I saw all those names you kind of choke up. I couldn't even comprehend why someone would ever do this or how god would ever let it happen, it just seemed unreal seeing all those names and standing right where so many lives were taken. Along with that is a museum. The museum has artifacts, stories, items, people personal belongs from that day all being presented. Most of the items being displayed have a really cool story to go with it, one of the most. ]]> 2017-05-15 01:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171724755 This is a picture of the twin towers being hit, the north one one the right has already been hit and the one of the left the south tower just got hit and the plane blew up. 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171726387 2017-05-15 01:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171726387 This video is very hard to watch so don't watch if you know you can't handle it, it is of the south towering falling and the debris coming down the streets and the people. (click the play button top left corner) 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171727135 2017-05-15 01:48:16 UTC https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171727135 This is a video of the "Falling Man" The video is very hard to watch makes you sick to your stomach so don't watch if you can't handle it. It also talks about the man taking the picture and the story. A little tip for this video and the rest click on the play button in the upper left corner to have it play or else it might glitch out. 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171727620 2017-05-15 01:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171727620 The attack on the Pentagon 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171728003 Many people till this day don't know of this attack but also on 9/11 the Pentagon, the Pentagon is the Department of Defensive. That is one of the reasons why the terrorist attacked there is to try to say our defense is week and that they are strong. In this attack 184 people died. In this building part of it also collapsed.]]> 2017-05-15 01:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171728003 This is a picture of a Fountain at ground zero where one of twin towers once stood 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171729364 2017-05-15 02:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171729364 This is a picture of where the plane hit the Pentagon 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171729840 2017-05-15 02:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171729840 Flight 93 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171730204 This a plane that was suspected to be heading for the white house but the plane crew took back over the terrorist and were able to fight enough to sacrifice themselves and crash into a field. It landed in a field of Pennsylvania. There is movie out called Flight 93. I highly suggest this movie it is really good and shows a lot of the story they went through and how heroic they were to try to fight back, it also really puts them in your shoes and is just a good movie.]]> 2017-05-15 02:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171730204 My Reaction 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171731295 To start this was really hard project for me to do, I just have so much anger against the terrorist and feel so bad and is hard to watch and here about all the deaths and stories. I just can't believe the stories of these people and how brave and heroic some people were. And going to visit ground zero was an experience I just couldn't explain, the feeling and atmosphere around you is just nothing you've ever felt before and probably won't feel again.]]> 2017-05-15 02:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171731295 Citations 20freitagse https://padlet.com/20freitagse/pgs1yvdxk4c8/wish/171732117
