On September 11, 2001, the United States suffered a terrorist attack. Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al-Qaeda issued an attack on the World Trade Center in New York. This attack “killed nearly 3,000 people and injured 6,000”. Two commercial planes were hijacked and crashed into the twin towers. The third hijacked plane hit the Pentagon, and the fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania. Every media outlet showed pictures of the Twin Towers collapsing when 9/11 occurred. George Bush was President at the time and “vowed retaliation”. Ten years later, in May of 2011, Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan by U.S Special Forces.
