Tuesday.
September 11th, 2001.
8:00 A.M.
World Trade Center.
New York City.
Two planes.
Terrorists attack.

Washington D.C.
Pentagon.
Same day.                                       
Same morning.
One plane.

Pennsylvanian field.
One plane.
Headed toward the White House.
The passengers fought back,
and won.
Mission failed.

Tuesday.
September 11th, 2001.
Almost 3,000 people.
Dead
