Similarities
Even though the attacks of september 11, 2001 and December 7, 1941 are different, they are also similar in many ways. They were both targeted to destroy many lives as well as property. The pearl harbor attack destroyed about 2000 lives and a large amount of military equipment and supplies such as 20 american vessels and more than 300 airplanes.
