News for children is every day on franceinfo junior. Today, the show looks back at the September 11, 2001 attacks that hit the United States. The children asking the questions are in CM2 at the Etienne Dolet school in Alfortville in Val-de-Marne.
To answer their questions: Baptiste Bouthier, editor-in-chief of The Comic Review and author of the comic strip September 11, 2001, the day everything changed (ed. Dargaud).
The first question goes to Hugo:“Why did the terrorists specifically target the Twin Towers?”
In turn, Loann wants to know why the terrorists took “travel planes”.
“I would like to know how many survivors there were.” Anna asks in turn.
“I would like to know if the United States has any plans to rebuild the Twin Towers.” asks Heny.
