• I never followed up with anything in the previous journal, #8. I know that today is 9-11, 9:44 PM is the time where I am. I don't have anything to do, so I was going to write down some of the biggest events in the 21st century. I'll add some information too. 2000: The first biggest event, in my opinion, was the United States Presidental election in 2000. It was between Al Gore and George Bush. George Bush got less votes than Gore, but Bush ended up winning the election, being the 43rd President of the United States. He was inaugurated in 2001. 2001: One of the worst events in history: The terrorist attack in New York/Manhattan, New York on September 11th, 2001. The whole event started at 8:46 AM. It was a regular day, just like any other. Then the unthinkable happened. Apperently, nineteen hijackers took control of four commercial airlines en route to San Francisco and Los Angeles from Boston, Newark, and Washington, D.C. Then, at 8:46 AM, American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower (the North Tower collapsed at 10:24 AM after burning for approximately 102 minutes). At 9:03 AM, United Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower (the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 AM after burning for approximately 56 minutes). Then, at 9:37 AM, American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. At 10:03 AM, United Airlines Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania after starting a fight with the hijackers. This was either an attempt to strick the Capitol or the White House in Washington, D.C. In the end, there were 2,966 deaths, including the nineteen hijackers and 2, 977 victims. Hopefully nothing else this bad will happen again for a while or forever. As a result from this, it started the Invasion of Afganistan. 2003: 2003 holds one of the biggest shuttle disasters in history, which was the Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster. It killed all of the crew on board (Rick D. Husband, William C. McCool, Michael P. Anderson, Ilan Ramon, Kalpana Chawla, David M. Brown, and Laurel Clark). 2004: George Bush was re-elected for President of the United States. 2005: George Bush was inaugurated in 2005. This year also hosts one of the worst Hurricane Katrina. It was a Category 5, and one of the Top 5 Most Deadliest Hurricanes ever recorded in history. 1,386 deaths were confirmed. It was also the most costliest hurricane in history as well. I will continue the second half later, from 2006 to 2010. 10:31 PM, cheers.
