September 11, 2001 will forever be charred in all of our minds. Whether you were physically affected or mentally, that date will always be a date to remember. I have compiled a list of the Top 5 news stories that captured the importance of that date.

This article starts off perfectly; it starts off with a video report on ground zero. In the video, the reporter talks to the visitors about their memories of 9/11. After the video concludes, you have the option to read the actual article which is full of vivid and descripted words that put you right in the moment and makes you feel like you are there. Along with the actual article and video, there are also pictures that show the destruction and devastation of the attacks and how 9/11 is being remembered.

The headline of this article really hooked me in. Once I actually read the article, I understood why. The writer starts off with a brief introduction and then goes into something that I haven’t seen before. The article continues with pictures that staffers took along with a brief paragraph or two describing what each staffer remembers. The pictures that are provided send chills down my spine because of how vivid they are. I believe that the pictures really show the sorrow, destruction and devastation that were caused that day.

I liked this article because it showed what the World Trade Center site looks like all these years after the attacks happened. The article starts off with a time- lapse showing the progress of the rebuilding of the World Trade Center. As I read through the article, I came to the conclusion that the structure is like a list post, which makes it easy to read. The writer provided pictures of the different sites along with a brief description. My favorite was the photo and description of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.

4. 9/11 anniversary: America remembers lives lost on one of its darkest days
Source: CNN article published September 11, 2015
Like the previous news article, this article is set up like a list post. It first starts off with a 9 minute video titled Look Back at How September 11 unfolded. The video is chilling because it is full of original news reports from that day. The videos show the moments the planes hit. If you scroll farther, you will see that the writer separated the article into sections. There is one section for each crash site from Ground Zero to Pennsylvania to Washington. In each of those sections, there are short paragraphs of what happened and the number of fatalities at each site. If you want to pay attention to anything, you will want to pay attention to the numbers given because they are horrific. Please click the link to read the article and view the pictures and video.

5. CHILDREN BORN ON 9/11 SPREAD MESSAGE OF HOPE ON ANNIVERSARY OF ATTACKS
Source: Channel 7 Eyewitness News Article published September 11, 2015
I liked this article because it was taken from a different perspective. This article was based on the children born on September 11, 2001. The article starts off with a video about the children and their mission to do good deeds on 9/11. I like how the video ends with pictures of the kids that were born. The article continues with brief stories about two of the kids. The quotes they used were really good because they sort of restored hope in a sense.
