911

(I think I wrote this near enough when everything happened when I was about 15. I researched into the subject back then but couldn't be sure that all details are completely accurate.)

Disaster struck on the eleventh of September,
All nations know it's a day we'll always remember.
Four planes were hi-jacked,
It was unknown,
How would the world know
What it would be shown?
One minute the World Trade Centres stood upright,
The next we were shown a horrific sight.
The terrorists drove a plane into North Tower,
Almost suddenly New York was given a dust shower.
All the people around started to run,
The dust cloud covered the morning sun.
For eighteen minutes we watched our television screens,
Then America got hit with another horrible scene.
South Tower was now hit with a second American plane,
The two tallest buildings in the world would never be the same.
But that wasn't enough for the terrorists to do,
Because into the Pentagon a third plane flew.
Two minutes later a car bomb did explode
Outside the State Department; Everything was put in fast mode.
All buildings were going to be evacuated,
even the White House.
The firemen wanted no one left in them,
Not even a mouse.
Then out of the blue, without a warning,
South Tower collapsed at five-past ten in the morning.
Five minutes after
Part of the Pentagon collapsed,
Followed by North Tower;
Thousands of people were trapped.
Most of the people on earth couldn't believe their eyes,
Because remains of the buildings took the place of the skies.
The fourth plane didn't reach its' destination,
Thank goodness for that;
It could have destroyed even more of the broken down nation.

After it was all over,
Many of people were relieved.
But still it was so unreal,
It was hard to believe.
Many of those present risked their lives,
To help others who were tortured by the terrorists with knives.

Our hearts go out to those firefighters who tried,
To save mankind; But when the towers collapsed many sadly died.
Some people were saved,
Their friends and families were glad,
But those who are still lost
Make us all feel sad.

I believe the attacks were a message from God above
To bring everyone together and show our love.
