The World Trade Center Collapse
For me one of the most impacting thing was the twin towers of the World Trade Center collapsed onSeptember 11, 2001, as a result of the September 11 attacks, in which terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercialpassenger jet airliners, flying one into the North Tower (1 World Trade Center) and another into the South Tower (2 World Trade Center). TheSouth Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m., less than an hour after being hit by the hijacked airliner, and at 10:28 a.m. the North Towercollapsed. Later that day, World Trade Center collapsed at 5:21 p.m. from fires that had started when the north tower collapsed. As a result ofthe attacks to the towers, 2,752 people died, including all 157 passengers and crew aboard the two airplanes. The collapse of the twintowers also caused extensive damage to the rest of the complex and nearby buildings. Debris from the collapsing towers severely damagedor destroyed more than a dozen other adjacent and nearby structures. I believe that it changed the world as we used to know it becausesince that day people got scared and every one or every thing could be a possible attack so its very annoying to get in an airplane wehave to go to a lot so I think it was not just for me the most impacting thing that happened it was also fore the whole entire world.
