911

This day in history started like any other but would end in infamy. This was the day that will always be remembered as 911, when terror came to North America.

This day in history also started like any other but would end with the fall of the iron curtain. After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on 9 November 1989 that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere.

The terror attacks of 911 and the building of the Berlin wall were both directly attributable to people who have guns for brains.
