9/11 - The catastrophe that shook the world


                                             A TRIBUTE TO THE VICTIMS

I know it's a day late to post something about 9/11. But I think these things should not be limited to just one day, they could be remembered any day. Everyone who has experienced or even seen the disaster of 9/11, you have my deepest condolences, it might sound unreal, but I really mean it.

9/11 was the biggest terrorist attack ever occurring in the US, and which will ever occur (hopefully). They were actually a series of coordinated attacks by the terrorist group called Al-Qaeda. They hijacked four airplanes on air itself in an attempt to make it a suicide crash attack, they largely successful. Out of those four flights, two were crashed into the World Trade Center (a.k.a The twin towers). One other was crashed into the United States Department of Defense, the Pentagon, thereby destroying the western half of it. The last one was supposed to be climax, the most disastrous and the most daring task the terrorist group did. They were supposed to bring down the white house. Now, if they would have done that, there would have been no chance of US getting back up and reciprocating in a few years, if white house was attacked at that time, the whole country's base of existence would have been at the brink of destruction, because if you cut of all the limbs of a man there's so little he can do. But, being thankful of the passengers aboard that plane, they tried to overpower the terrorist and the plane landed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. All this destruction,was obviously leads my social, economic and ethnic unrest. People were shocked watching the bulletin in their homes, there were even people who lost their loved ones in all this destruction, even Micheal Jackson would have dies early as he had an appointment in the twin towers that very day (this is a plus fact). But, the repercussions by the citizens of the US was also not very humane. Yes, after the attack people started hating every non-white existing in the US, especially the muslims, I mean 19 people did that to you, not a whole religion no one else should have been held accountable except Al-Qaeda, punish them, nobody cares, but people should not have made others suffer. But I understand your worry, I get trust issues with everybody if someone steals my chocolate, and what happened to the citizens was much, much more than chocolate snatching.

Just after all the destruction was (sort of) taken under control, after some months a monument was built as a poignant reminder to the citizens who suffered in the attacks in any way. Even having a not so visible but clear message for Al-Qaeda - Destroy this now, suckers.

You must be thinking why the writer has written this post, I have not experienced what happened to the people, but I still know, how hard it is for them, how they feel after losing a loved one.
I salute the ones who have suffered because they have the courage to hold themselves up till now, after so many years.
