Remembering 9/11 and the connection to history. Today is the 16 th anniversary of a very tragic and historical day. Today we will talk about this event and introduce how historical events shape our society today.

What happened on that day? 4 planes were hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists. The 4 planes crashed. 2 in New York, the World Trade Towers. One into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. The last crashed in a field in Pennsylvania as the passengers tried to fight back (this plane was supposed to hit Congress). Thousands died, many more are dying every year.
