image On the morning of 9/11/2001 we were shocked as we learned that we were victims of a terrible terrorist attack on our country. This was one of those horrible times that we can all remember where we were when we heard the news or watched as the second plane hit the other tower. This attack caused the deaths of almost 3,000 people. They were in the 4 airplanes and in the buildings in New York and the Pentagon. Over 400 deaths were from emergency workers trying to help those in need, the firefighters, police and other emergency workers going into the buildings to save others. After this happened many of our neighbors went to New York to help our brothers and sisters and to help clean up the aftermath of the horrible destruction.
