Austin King Ms. Den Otter A.P. English Language and Composition President Obama Speech Analysis     On the morning of September 11th, terrorists hijacked 4 planes, 2 of which were crashed into the World Trade Center Buildings, another hit the Pentagon, and one was crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.
