September 11 Memorial

What had happened on September 11 was really horrible and sad. It makes me really sad that all those inocent people died. How can a human being be so evil? on killing all them inocent people with family's and children. The entire video was really sad to watch. Seeing all them people jump out of the building was shocking to see but I think the reason they did that was because they didnt want to get burned or anything. I just wish that their was peace and love in the entire world.
