ATTACK ON AMERICA

We heard about the horrible terrorist attack: we watched all those terrible images on television and we couldn't  stop thinking of the victims buried beneath the wreckage of the World Trade Center. We  read some articles and discussed about that terrible tragedy. Our words were not strong enough to describe the pain for those innocent people killed in the terrorist attack on 11^th September 2001. A shift has  taken place  not only in the American hearts after the terrorist attack in New York and Washington: we think that what happened has changed life and culture all over the world.

THIS IS AN ABSTRACT OF AN ARTICLE WE  READ

NEW YORK 

 In an unprecedented show of terrorist horror, the 110-story World Trade Center towers collapsed in a shower of rubble and dust yesterday morning after two hijacked airliners carrying scores of passengers slammed into the sides of the twin symbols of American capitalism.

President George W. Bush, in a national address, said that "thousands of lives were suddenly ended" in the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. The attack on the lower Manhattan towers was part of a systematic terrorist spree that included another hijacked plane crashing into the Pentagon and a fourth hijacked plane crashed near Pittsburgh.
