September 11, 2001.
11-the first flight to go down
10 thousand unidentified body fragments that cannot be matched to the list of the dead.
9:03-south tower was hit.
8:56-north tower was hit.
7 minutes between the two tragedies.
6 hundred people killed instantly by the impact.
5 al-Qaeda members aware of the operation.
4 hijacked planes.
3 thousand dead.
2 hours.
1 motive:
to, in an unbelievable, horrible, terrible, sickening way,
bring America together.
God bless the USA.

The author's comments:
it's been 8 years and surely America has gotten somewhat better at standing as a united, independent, loving country. God bless the heros of 9/11, and God bless the families in which were parted with their loved ones.
