There were 44 people on the plane. Shortly after 10:00 a.m., the flight crashed into a field in Somerset County in southeastern Pennsylvania, killing everyone on the plane. Telephone calls made by passengers and crew on the plane allowed investigators to reconstruct the events that followed up to the crash. After the hijacking, the passengers learned of other attacks and attempted to take back control of the plane. Worried that the passengers might succeed, the hijackers the crashed into a field in Pennsylvania.

During an interview of three family members, I was able to learn more information about the events of 9/11. My mom, Jamie Goldman, was the first person I interviewed. She told me she was helping a friend with her new business in Aiken, SC. She first heard on the radio, breaking news, that a plane had flown into one of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center. Her first thought was that a plane had crashed accidentally. As the day went on, she learned of even more horrible acts against our country, and then realized our Nation was under attack from terrorist. My mom was heartbroken, scared, sad, and mad all at the same time. She struggles with forgiving the terrorist but knows that God would want her to forgive them. The song "God Bless the USA" is a song that helps my mom cope with the events of 9/11. My mom did not know anyone personally that was killed or injured on 9/11. She said, "after 9/11, our country has been a country at war. We have stopped loving our neighbors and instead, started judging them."

First, Osama Bin Laden, a dangerous terrorist claims that he caused the attacks to happen(Time). Some people could say, that the government could have paid him to admit to the attacks, but I say no because, it doesn't sound like anything the government would do, if it was the government I think they would own it. In a video released to the public, it shows him, and he admits to the attacks. If a terrorist admits to these attacks, why would the government have done this.The terrorists
