Sept. 11, the day that changed the world

I didn't realize it's September 11. The incident where it changes the world. The World Trade Center's twin tower collapsed, an attacked by Al-Qaeda terrorists. 4 planes were hijacked on that morning where 2 planes crashed into the twin tower, 1 plane crashed into the Pentagon and the last one crashed onto the ground at Pennsylvania.

This inhuman act by the terrorist planned on mass murder against the United States of America causes 2,974 death with 24 listed as missing.

I was watching the History Channel on Astro titled "102 Minutes That Changed America" now, and it's still a disturbing scene to me, and even the whole world.

I still remembered that particular night where it's almost midnight, my parents was in the living room, watching live coverage on the tower being attacked. I was in the living room too, stunned by the news.

I felt the insecurity in me, looking at what was happening. I stayed up for a few hours watching the news curious on what had happened. I can't believe it even i watched it before my eyes that this is happening.

The attack causes suffering and sadness among the people. Their loved ones, the people working inside the World Trade Center, the firemens, the police, and the people outside died in the collapsed tower.

Before the tower collapse, the people in the World Trade Center tried to save themselves. The elevator doesn't work and they were forced to walk down using stairs. The Pentagon was being attacked next, and the last plane which was aiming at the White House crashed onto the ground.

It was heard through the blackbox of the last plane that the passengers fight back at the terrorist. Screaming, and banging at the cockpit door were heard. Their bravery, shown that they are fighting for their lives and their loved ones.

This incident was never expected to happen, thousands of people died. What had happened to this world? War happens everywhere, and even we humans cannot stop it. Mass murderer terrorist should be punished for their inhuman act.

It's still a sad day. Whenever i think back, i always ask myself where's God? Why does this happen to the innocent people? Does it happen for a reason? We won't know the answer.

In the memories of the people who past away. We will always remember this incident, and the terrorist will be judged one day.

Good night.
