September 11th 2001


On September 11, 2001 two airplanes were hijacked and crashed into the World Trade Center. One plane was crashed into each tower. Also another two planes were hijacked and one was crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia near Washington, DC. Passengers and crew members tried to fight the hijackers so the plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. Then President Bush made a statement and said "This crusade, this war on terror is going to take a while". After Bush said that many people were worried that the war would be against people who are not responsible. Using the word crusade made some people worried that they would be attacked for something they didnt do. The Crusades were wars fought between the Muslims and the Catholics for a place called Palestine. This place was Jesus was buried and it was important to both religious groups. It was a bad idea to call it a crusade because the crusades were religious wars and not an attack for terrorism.
