Patriot Day

lost their lives or were injured on September 11, 2001 in a terrorist attack.
This black day in the US history is also known as 9/11. People hold special church services
or prayer meetings.
People observe a
moment of silence at 8:46 AM. The people who lost their loved ones or their

Public law which was
signed by President George W. Bush designate September 11 of each year as Patriot

buildings in the whole world.
On September 11, 2001
some unknown hijackers hijacked four planes. The hijackers made the plans hit building named the Pentagon in Washington DC
and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. Nearly 3000 people lost their lives in this
impact. In addition to that there was a great economic loss also. The first
plane hit the world trade center at 8:46AM. That’s way people observe a one
minute silence at that time.
As soon as the plane
crashed the upper portion of the buildings they were destroyed badly. The news
of the incident spread like fire. The families whose members were gone to
office that day in the world trade center started gathering there. They were
requesting information about their family members or loved ones. People all
around the world started calling their relative to know their wellbeing. There
was a fire in the building and many people were still in the building. Some
people in the building who were not able to get out from the building jumped from
it and died on the spot. People in the building started running here and there.
They were shouting for help. The police, fire and the medical team came for the
help. Even the local people present there helped people to come out of the building.
