You can probably guess what the new item for today is. If not, then look below :I

*gasp*

What a SHOCKER! It's another Egyptian item.

I'm pretty sure everyone saw this coming. I mean, Jamaa is turning into Egypt.

In other news, today is 9/11!

If you live in the USA then you'll understand the true meaning of this day. If you don't know what happened today then... well..

I guess I'll tell you.

"The September 11 attacks (also referred to as September 11, September 11th, or 9/11)^{[nb 1]} were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks launched by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda upon the United States in New York City and the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks killed almost 3,000 people and caused at least $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage.^[2]

Four passenger airliners were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists so they could be flown into buildings in suicide attacks. Two of those planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Within two hours, both towers collapsed with debris and the resulting fires causing partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the WTC complex, as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon (the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense), leading to a partial collapse in its western side. The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was targeted at Washington, D.C.,^[3] but crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its passengers tried to overcome the hijackers. In total, almost 3,000 people died in the attacks, including the 227 civilians and 19 hijackers aboard the four planes. It also was the deadliest incident for firefighters and for law enforcement officers^[4][5] in the history of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed respectively."

So basically..

Everyone was minding their own business, when suddenly, a group of terrorists crashed airplanes into buildings.

The Twin Towers (and all of the other buildings) were destroyed, and almost 3,000 people were killed.

And these aren't just buildings. They're skyscrapers, meaning that if one of them falls, and you're below it, there's no way you can run far enough to avoid getting hit. You're doomed.

So yeah, to remember the bravery of everyone this day, my school wore red white & blue.

God bless everyone who did their best to protect us.
