# Never Forget 9/11

On the morning of Septemeber 11th, 2001, a Boeing 767 hit the World Trade Center around 8:40 AM. Another plane ended up colliding with the south tower a short time later, and both of the towers ultimately collapsed. A Boeing 757 also hit the Pentagon; this was all part of a terrorist attack carried out be Al Qaeda in attempt to neutralize the threat of the USA assisting many governments that Al Qaeda was trying to attack.

Over 2,900 people, including 400+ first responders died in 9/11. These first responders, which included firefighters, police officers, and EMS, all sacrificed their lives to save others. Additionally, 300K-500K people were rescued by ferry boats and the coast guard, which is the largest waterborne rescuse mission ever.

Let this day be one to remember 9/11 and how significant of an impact it had on not just the US, but also on the world. Furthermore, any 9/11 related jokes or serious discussions about it will be met with serious punishments.
