USA/New York: Remembering 9-11-2001

Dear Postcard:
On the morning of September 11, 2001 there was a series of coordinated attacks upon the United States of America. Terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings. A third airliner was crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. The fourth plan crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania after some of its passengers and flight crew attempted to retake control of the plane which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington, D.C. Sadly, the death toll of the attacks were over 3,000, with no survivors from any of the flights.

Warm Regards,
Mme. Monique
