2001 the year I was born.

In the year 2001, the year I was born, a few historical events occurred. Both tragic and great scientific discoveries happened the same year I was born. On January 26 an Earthquake that had a magnitude of 7.9 devastated India and killed 20,000 people and injured another 167,000 others. The tragic event of 9/11 happen that same year where terrorists hijacked commercial air flights and had them crash into buildings. Four planes were taken two of these were flown into the World Trade Center. A third plane hit the Pentagon destroying the west side of it. The fourth plane’s unknown intentions were impeded due to a few courageous passengers. The plane was overtaken from the terrorists and was crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. A great scientific discovery was made in 2001 making all the events that occurred not be all bad. The human genome sequence was revealed jointly by scientists from different parts of the world. It was revealed that there is somewhere between 30,000 to 40,000 genes with around 3.2 billion alkali base pairs.
