9/11 was an attack on our democracy. Flight 93 was headed for the U.S. Capitol, and if not for the brave actions of those on board, it& #39;s very possible the building would& #39;ve been a smoking crater. Instead, it crashed in a field ~20 minutes from DC, & all 40 passengers & crew died. https://twitter.com/Acosta/status/1387516729828548618">https://twitter.com/Acosta/st...
The terrorist attacks of 9/11 also successfully targeted the Pentagon - a prominent global symbol of our democracy& #39;s military might. The plane smashing into the side of the Pentagon killed the 59 passengers & crew on board the aircraft as well as 125 people inside the Pentagon.
President John F. Kennedy was also literally assassinated.
Sorry, I forgot a few things here. Lincoln was assassinated a few days after Lee surrendered to Grant (though a few Confederate generals held out for a couple more months). Garfield, McKinley, & JFK were all assassinated. Teddy Roosevelt was shot. Reagan was shot & almost died.
The Oklahoma City bombing was a domestic terrorist attack willfully targeting a federal government building, and it killed 168 people.
The Capitol riot was very bad. Let& #39;s get serious about American history tho.
The Weather Underground bombed the Capitol in 1971.
The May 19th Communist Organization bombed the Capitol in 1983.
Pearl Harbor.
