The Jersey Devil 				 	According to the legend, in the 18th century in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, Mrs. Leeds had twelve children already, and moments before her 13th child was born she quoted “I want no more children! Let it be a devil!” After it was born, it transformed moments later before everybody’s eyes into this demon with a horse-like figure and claws, horns, fangs, bat wings, and hooves. It flew around the room and killed every one in the house, the maids, his mother, his siblings, everyone. After it did it flew out the chimney and into the woods, where it’s been ever since. As it grew older, the rumor did along with it, the creature killed chickens, children, men women, anything it can get its dirty little hands on. The Phenomenal Week was the week of January 16th 1909, the largest killing spree of the Jersey Devil. It killed everything it could, it kept families awake at night, it left footprints everywhere, it knocked over trash cans, it attacked people, pets, even a tree had scratches all over it. People seriously thought it was him because horse tracks were on its hind legs instead of all four, and were all over places most people couldn’t reach, much less a horse! Schools and factories actually closed because people where so scared of it. Imagine having a Jersey Devil day off from school, then again people where much more paranoid back then.

On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining the presidency of George W. Bush. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters.
