9/11: A Day That Re-shaped America
It was a day that started out like any day on September 11, 2001. Everyone went about their daily routine—waking up in the morning, getting dressed and ready for the day, leaving home to head for work, school, or to run errands, or to travel to places that people were destined to be. Nobody expected anything to go wrong that day—not even terribly wrong. But on that day, something went terribly wrong. At 8:46 a.m. in New York City, an airplane crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. At first, everyone thought it was an accident. But when another airplane hit the South Tower, we all knew it wasn’t an accident. It was an attack on America. It was an attack planned and intended to hurt America, to break America and to destroy America.
