I remember waking up to the news on my alarm clock that the twin towers had been hit by two planes in New York City New York. Plus a plane hit the Pentagon in Washington DC which is the headquarters for defense in the United States. Another plane was also hijacked by terrorists and it crashed in a field in Shanksville Pennsylvania. It was committed by Islamist terrorists suicide attacks by AlQaeda in 2001 against the United States. The mastermind was Osoma Bin Laden, which was not too long. The United States assassinated him and others as well for the attack of 9/11. The attack killed 2,977 people making it the deadliest attack on US soil.
That was the first day I realized that I could die anytime and that no one is safe from certain attacks. So that day, I spent time with my friends and my family because I thought the attack could come closer to home. The officials were outlining which building could be hit by terrorists and they outlined a building in southern Arizona that could be hit. Thank God, it never happened, but that is why I am grateful that I am alive for the most part because we can die anytime so I am trying to be thankful for this life and cherish everyone in my life. Thank you for reading.
