CNN Student News 9/9/11

Issue: They are discussing the attack of the Twin Towers on 9/11/01. This attack occured because Al Queda took over planes and ran them into the Twin Towers. The Twin Towers were not the only buildings that got attacked, it was also the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. It was a very tragic event for a America. When the first tower was hit, all of America stopped what they were doing, and watched television and listened to the radio. At first, everyone thought it was a mistake the pilot might have made. But when the second plane hit the other tower, they knew we were being attacked. So many tears were shed on this day. Many Americans feared that more would hit their city! They discussed the events on this day and the reasons American's still reflect on it today.
My Opinion: This was a horrifying event. I think what Al Queda did was evil. They caused so many broken hearts and sad souls for America. They were proud of what they did, and that sickens me. Though I think it is important to remember this day because America did not take a downfall, we came out stronger! We should remember all of the lives that were taken on this day, and the brave souls who tried to save them
How to Help the Issue: We should reflect on the lives that were lost and how brave people were on this day. If you show respect to your flag and your troops, and maybe even sympathy, I think that would be a great way to help and reflect over the events that occured on the day of 9/11.
