Ok, so i have to do a project in class, but its a short one, and we need to write down ten facts about 9/11. I all ready have 7 facts, and here they are:
The structural steel of the skyscraper, built to withstand winds in excess of 200 mph and a large conventional fire, could not withstand the tremendous heat generated by the burning jet fuel.
When the Second tower was it hit, it was turned around in a 360 direction.
Only six people in the World Trade Center towers at the time of their collapse survived. Almost 10,000 other people were treated for injuries, many severe.
The passengers fought the four hijackers and are suspected to have attacked the cockpit with a fire extinguisher. The plane then flipped over and sped toward the ground at upwards of 500 miles per hour, crashing in a rural field in western Pennsylvania at 10:10 a.m.
At 8:45 a.m. on a Tuesday morning, an American Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashes into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact left a gaping, burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors.
The attackers were Islamic terrorists from Saudi Arabia and several other Arab nations.
American Airlines Flight 77 circled over downtown Washington and slammed into the west side of the Pentagon military headquarters at 9:45 AM.
New York took a catastrophic turn for the worse when the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed in a massive cloud of dust and smoke.
And those are facts i have right now. So if you could give me three more, it would be appreciated
343 Firefighters died in the collapse of the World Trade Center, along with 37 Port Authority police and 23 NYPD.
Approximately 200 people jumped to their deaths from the Towers.
The FAA ordered all aircraft to land immediately at the nearest airport and all commercial and private flights were cancelled.
