In this article the pentagon chief leon Panetta talks about the threat of another attack "The potential for that kind of attack remains very real," he said from the 10th floor of 7 World Trade Center, he went and saw the almost finished memorial of every person who died in the twin towers and also at the pentagon. He believes that there is going to be another attack because they didn’t finish their mission last time. Panetta says that the most dangerous nodes are now outside of Pakistan and Afghanistan They suspect that they wanted to hit the white house but got taken over by the passengers so they crashed the plane flight 93 into Pennsylvania.
Reading this article was scary for me because they don't know for sure where they are going to strike next for all they know it could be the mall of America I live only 15 minutes from there I can’t imagine how something like that would impact us all. It would be like living in a war zone. I still remember sitting in my class room and looking up at the TV. and seeing the buildings falling down I remember a boy in my class thought we were watching a movie and then our teacher started to freak out i was only in third grade i was scared out of my mind. They just now are finishing the memorial for all the lives that were lost. If it were to happen here it would affect me so much more, what if my family member was there when it happened people go to the mall all the time but what if they didn't come back.
I remember I was teaching when 9/11 happened. I came back to my office that I shared with other instructors and I was in disbelief. My brother lives in New York City, so I was really frightened that something had happened to him. Thankfully he was safe, but imagine all the families that got the horrible news that day that their family member died. Hopefully it will never happen again.
