Twin Towers
Today I am going to talk to you about the twin towers.
As you all probably know the 9th of September 2001
something really terrible happened to the twin towers.
The twin towers were built in the 1970s and were destroyed
in 2001. Nobody really knows the name of the man who
decided to crash the planes into the twin towers which caused
a lot of deaths and injuries to the people in new York.
The twin towers were known as the tallest building in
world until the Sears Tower in Chicago was built. About
343 firefighters and 2 paramedics and 37 police officers
died trying to save people during 9/11.
There were approximately 18 survivors. There was one survivor
and he was rescued 27 hours after the collapse of the North Tower.
19 years ago this man called Welles Crawford did something
so brave. He was only 24 years old when he was in the
south tower on the day of september 9/11. As he got out
of the building he texted his mum and told her that he
was ok but he needed to go back in and help the firefighters
save as many people as he can. He ran into the building and
went up and checked every floor and found a group of
survivors on the 78th floor. He managed to get some of the
people out but sadly he didn't survive.
Did you know there were 94 stories in the twin towers and it
took 9 months to clean up after 9/11. After the north tower
hit 18 minutes after the south tower was hit. The north tower
was hit at 8:46 am and the south tower was hit at 9:03 am.
After the planes hit the towers the towers burnt for 99 days until
the fires were put out. The twin towers have been targeted before
with a bomb that killed 6 people and wounded 1000 people. As the
plane hit into the twin towers a 47 story building collapsed because
of the damage that happened to the twin towers and however there
was a third plane and that hit into the building.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, to sum up my points about the Twin Towers. These points are…
The Twin Towers attack happened on September the 11th 2001
There were nearly 3000 people killed
The planes crashed into the Twin Towers
There were 343 firefighters, 37 police officers and 2 paramedics died.
Hey Chloe!
ReplyDeleteI really like your post. I like the facts you added and how you put a conclusion to sum up all the points you made. Maybe next time you could add an image of the Twin Towers? Other than that, it's really good. :)

How long did it take you to write your speech? Did you know anyone who was in the twin towers when this happened?
