Top Ten Worst Things About 9/11

Last year, I drew a picture for 9/11 and over it, I wrote down every single name I could fit onto the page. I must have written down at least one to two hundred names and barely even cracked the "B" section. That was really difficult and one of the most eye-opening things I've ever done.

We had a moment of silence for 9/11 at school, and some of the kids kept yelling 21. It's just sad. The deaths... Many people died because of terrorism.

I was in school, and I didn't even hear about it until after school when I got home. My mom thought it was a film at first and sadly not.

Not that complicated at all. Virtually everything that many top ten users like to do is exactly what the suicide bombers wanted to stop them from doing permanently.

People can act like we're the bad guys for pointing out 9/11, but they don't understand that it was a traumatizing event that changed the country for the worse. People were burned alive in those buildings, and at least 3,000 died in there alone - some by suicide.

Lots of people died that day. It may not be the saddest day in history (or anywhere near that), but it's still a terrible tragedy.

So many people have no idea how horrifying it is that some even joke about 9/11. It's horrible.

So many people lost so many family members and friends.

A lot of people on 9/11 lost their lives to slow, painful deaths because they couldn't breathe in the rubble, smoke, and debris.

Because of 9/11, so many things were restricted on airlines that now it's hard to move around without being told to do something you don't want to do.

You have to take your shoes off when you go to the airplane. Over-secure much?

I'm Muslim, and I agree. 9/11 was a terrible and sad thing. Please don't hate every Muslim. We Muslims are not supposed to bomb or kill people. If we do that, then we are not considered Muslims. Please understand, terrorists are not Muslims.

This event defined the world's view on Islam, other countries, and things I'm too lazy to list.

Many things were bad about it, but this is one of the few that are still here.

People can still hear the echoes of screams and explosions ringing in their ears. They can still see the blood and debris falling from over 300 feet.

Not so much about the theories, but how so many accepted uneducated theories as fact. Worst of all are the charlatans who made money off the event by promoting those crackpot theories.

So much debris fell that it had to be cleaned up for days, months, and years.

So many people present the day 9/11 happened were so scared, running for their lives.

9/11 started a legacy that would last many years and one that no one would like. It separated the Islamic and the Christian worlds again, reminiscent of the Crusades. It led to wars on terrorism lasting a decade or longer instead of shorter wars, and we still haven't let go. No one will be brought to justice, and that is very sad to me.

People from all over Boston who were expecting to go to New York had their plans suddenly interrupted by this event for days.
