On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda(a major terrorist organization at the time) sent out 19 hijackers to crash into the World Trade Center, The Pentagon, and (assuming for the last one that crashed into a small field in Pennsylvania) The White House or The Capital. Passengers on the jet that was going to crash into the Pentagon didn’t want that to happen so they crashed into a field right outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The attacks caused extreme trauma and when the towers did collapse approximately 3,000 people were killed in the attacks, Hundreds being the first responders.

For my social studies project I took a look at why Osama Bin Laden had his motives behind the attacks. The major reason was Osama's hate for America's freedom of religion. I then made a mind map of Osama's tendencies to do this type of behavior.
