Leçon sur les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 à imprimer ou à recopier dans le cahier :
On September 11th 2001, two hijacked planes crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. These skyscrapers were destroyed in a few minutes. A third plane crashed on the Pentagon (The Ministry of Defence) in Washington. A fourth plane crashed in a field (un champ) in Pennsylvania because the passengers rebelled against the hijackers (les pirates de l'air) . So this plane missed its target (sa cible) : the White House which is the President's official home in Washington. Nine Eleven = September 11th 2001 = one of the most tragic events in the history of the USA 9 an event = un événement - to manage to do something = arriver à faire qque chose → bombs The hijackers threatened the pilots with cutters, knives [naɪvz] and scissors and took control of the planes. They didn't use guns. - "alive" is the contrary of "dead"
