Slide 6 - Slide

Why do you think the WTC was such an important target for an attack?

Slide 7 - Open question

Why?
The men who hijacked the planes wanted to kill many people and hurt the United States. Afterwards, they thought that the United States would become weaker and would lose some of its freedoms. They thought they would continue making attacks and eventually become more powerful than the United States. Even though the hijackers did hurt the United States, they were wrong about what happened after the attacks. Many people, from New York, the United States and around the world, came to
help at the World Trade Center and to support the United States.
