11 September

In 11 September 2001, this tragedy happen WTC is bombing. There are many thing walking in the air about this tragedy, like it’s a conspiracy from USA itself to make right their war with terrorism. But we can’t just close eye to this tragedy, because this tragedy have high causality. The causalities were 2,974 fatalities, excluding the 19 hijackers: 246 on the four planes (from which there were no survivors), 2,603 in New York City in the towers and on the ground, and 125 at pentagon.  An additional 24 people remain listed as missing. All of the fatalities in the attacks were civilians except for 55 military personnel killed at the Pentagon. More than 90 countries lost citizens in the attacks on the World Trade Center.

My condolence for this event and i hope this will not happen again. This event show that wrong fanatism is must be cleared with more discusion with each religion, more socialization about religion, and of course increase mutual respect with other religion. Last, different is beautiful because if all the same it will become a monotone world.
