9 11 Essay

On September 11, 2001 terrorists apprehended 4 airplanes and committed the most heinous act in American history. They flew two planes into the world trade center, one into the Pentagon, and one crashed in a field in Pennsylvania crash killing more than three thousand American citizens. Since 9 /11many things have changed in America in relation to our national security. One of the major changes that have effected most people is in the airports. There are several new procedures one must go through to take a flight these days. First, when you arrive at the airport you are required to have a government issued identification card at the counter rather than any old identification card. Then, after you receive your boarding pass you must...show more content...

Most sickening is the relish other Americans are taking in their new roles as fascist storm troopers. In a famous study conducted at Yale in the sixties by professor Stanley Milgram, members of the public willingly administered what they thought were fatal electric shocks to another human being simply because they were told to do so by an authority(Coulter 1)." What Coulter is saying here is that these systems are ridiculously inane. She states that we as Americans submit to them just because we are told we should even though they are not keeping us safer. None of this makes us anymore safe it is just an illusion and a frustration. One of the most controversial issues to come forth from the post 9/11 era is the Patriot Act. This is a law that was passed by congress to help the intelligence agencies and the executive branch succeed in their counter terrorism efforts. Also, "To deter and punish terrorist acts in theUnited States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools and other reasons(Patriot Act)." The reason biggest reason that this is so controversial is the ability of our intelligence agencies acquire wire taps and search people personal correspondents without a warrant signed by a judge. However, I do not find this to be so troubling and the reason for that is, if you aren't doing anything in the way of terrorist activities you have nothing to worry about. People complain about their fourth amendment

At the dinner table Issac pushes Amir to a point in their discussion where he admits to have felt satisfied after the 9/11 attack. The 9/11 attack on the twin towers was something that shook the entire United States. The treatment toward South Asians visibly changed. Amir had let Issac and Jory know that he offers himself to be frisked at check points. He knows that he will be asked to step aside and before that he offers it himself. He has nothing to hide or be ashamed of. His statement about the attack leaves everyone gobsmacked. He says that for the first time it was a win for them. He starts differentiating between the others and himself. Amir further asks Issac about his views and his identity and how Issac feels when comments are made on Israel being targeted and when he agrees to it and tells him that other people would also act similarly, Amir disagrees. He tries to prove to him that ethnicity and where a person comes from does matter. Issac would feel a blush of pride when Israel throws military weight around. Issac accuses him for being a closet Jihadist. He doesn't say it to Amir but his frustration comes out when his wife and Emily try to stop the two men from saying anything further. He calls him out in front of Jory and wonders what she sees in him and why they even talk to him. He thinks...show more content...

She and Issac had an affair in London and she knows that he's doing this just to get her to see a dark side of him.

When he was a child he had a crush on a young girl called Rivkah. As a young boy attending school, her race and ethnicity did not come to his mind. All he thought about was attending school and when she'd gone to Disneyland he had gotten

September 11, 2001 is a day that will forever be remembered by all Americans; it was the day in which 2,823 people were killed due to the terrorist attacks performed by the terrorist group Al–Qaeda. Up to this day there are many people who do not know all the facts about this day and do not even know the number of plane crashes that occurred due to Al–Qaeda's terrorist plans. Al–Qaeda is a terrorist organization that was started by Osama Bin Laden. This terrorist group is a racist organization whose philosophy is described as centralization of decision and decentralization of execution. This group has admitted they are responsible for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. They stated that the United States was actively oppressing and...show more content...

There was no survivors on any of the four planes that were hijacked. Many people died in the buildings as well, and some people trying to escape the attacks did not make it. There were 1,102 victims that were identified by a New York medical examiner, but there were 1,616 victims who were not found nor identified and their families were given death certificates. The estimated total of deaths including every passenger aboard the four planes is 2,823. There were people who were rescued and tragically people who had no way out and did the first thing they could think of, which was to jump to their death. In order to try to save themselves from the excruciating heat coming from the fires that erupted from the plane crashes, people would jump from the buildings and fall to their death. The fall was estimated to last about ten seconds and would fall at a rapid speed of 125 mph. If the body was to fall in a position where someone fell down with their body straight as if they were diving, the speed of the body falling down could increase to a speed of up to 200 mph. There were around 200 jumpers who decided to die this way. While all of this was happening, there were people who were trying to escape the madness in the towers. In an effort to escape, people tried using the elevators in the World Trade Centers but some plunged to their death as a result of the elevator cables being damaged due to the planes crashing and Get more content

Every American citizen can remember exactly where they were on the day September 11, 2001, this day was burned into the mind of American because the biggest terrorist attack in American history would occur. Two Boeing planes hijacked by a terrorist organization named al–Qaeda who would crash the planes into the world trades centers, sending America into shock(Pizzo,2016). There have been countless laws and regulations passed in America since the awful terrorist attacks on 9/11, has it been effective or a failure. The attack on September 11, 2001, will forever be a turning point in American history, it raised one of the most important questions in American society today what is more import for a citizen freedom or security and the law put in place to combat these horrific terrorist attack ultimately would be ineffective and tear American more apart on political issues.

The terrorist attacks on the world trades created many laws trying to prevent these from ever happing again, but what are these laws exactly? The major law that was put in place by the U.S government was the Patriot Act also known as the Anti–TerrorismAct of 2001; these laws would be the biggest expand of government in U.S history(Pizzo,2016). The original law was created to try to remove the limits the law–enforcement, so it could better protect the citizens of the United States. In many causes, this was just modernizing the government with all the new technology like cell phones and the internet. One Get more content

Not many events during my lifetime are as memorable as September 11, 2001. Al Qaeda attacked the Twin Towers and the Pentagon to spread fear for the terrorist group. This act of terrorism is why or one of the major causes for the Afghanistan war. September 11, 2001 will leave scars on people's memories that they will never forget.

Firefighters are one of the most grateful heroes ofthat tragic day. They saved people trapped in the World Trade Center and Pentagon, and a lot of them died whenever the buildings collapsed. In total, 343 firefighters died trying to save the lives of others. Many police officers, like NYPD, also died trying to help people out of the Twin Towers. In which sixty police officers died doing so. Additionally, how is September 11 being remembered? The main way this tragic day is being remembered is in the tragic memories of many Americans. The event is also being remembered by the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. This memorial was opened on September 11, 2011 and it at the location of where the Twin Towers were.

On September 11, 2001, the Islamic group, al–Qaeda, hijacked four airplanes and spreaded out against targets in the United States. "Two of the planes were flown into the twin 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. Over 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks" ("9/11 Attack"), which caused the U.S. horrific sorrow. As I was interviewing Ms. Phyllis Brown, she gave us the rundown about her experience through this tragedy. It was early in the morning when Ms. Brown, a cashier at Sprint Wireless, was opening like she always does. Besides the loud cars, it was a peaceful day. The television on the wall was tuned into the local news station as she wanted for customers to come in. Suddenly, the commercial break on the television stops and the news anchors are talking about a plane that crashed into one of the Twin Towers. Everyone in the department crowds the windows, watching as black smoke spills out from the North Tower. "Do you think it is an accident?" asks her co–worker, Michelle, nervously. As her question travels over the television lines, they watched as another plane crashes into the South Tower. "This is done intensely!" Michelle is yelling now. "America is under attack!" The customers, who had been horrified are at a standstill at this point. Then, they broke out in a panic. People were yelling and crying. Get

Introduction On September 11, 2001 the World Trade Center buildings one and two were attacked. However, who we were attacked by and even if we were attacked is a hard decision to make. There have been many different claims about how everything on that fateful day happened. There are facts that we know are true, though; Flight 11 flew into the North Tower at eight forty– six in the morning. Soon after, Flight 175 attacked the South Tower. By the end of the day, both towers had collapsed and other hijacked flights had caused damage. The amount of lives lost on September 11 was substantial; 2,749 people from eighty–three different countries died from the attacks (Facts about the attacks..., n.d.). All in all, America was changed forever....show more content...

The news, even though it may be broadcasting the real facts, may show videos or just talk about the subject so much that viewers are more scared than they need to be. They essentially "overdo" it, and leave Americans and others with different ideas in their minds than they need to have. This idea of sensationalism is a big problem with the situation on 9–11, and is used in it and other conspiracies to convince people of ridiculous notions. Both Sides Those who believe the WTC was destroyed by controlled demolitions argue the debris that blew out of windows was the result of an explosive. But experts disagree by saying the debris was simply the contents of the offices inside being blown out with air as the floors collapsed on top of each other. Also, demolition professionals say explosives are placed on lower levels, whereas, the planes hit the buildings at very high floors. No signs of a bomb were found in the wreckage of the buildings (Debunking the 9/11 myths, n.d.). Those who believe the planes that hit the WTC were remote controlled say there is no way al Qaeda could have even come up with the plan to hijack and crash the planes, much less have acted it out within an hour. The manufacturer stated the planes that hit the buildings had only one system of control: from the flight deck. Many telephone calls were made from passengers on the planes saying they were being hijacked. Get more content

September 11th 2001 there was a surprise attack on the United States by terrorists. The terrorists allegedly hijacked four airplanes. One was meant for the White House, one was meant for the Pentagon and the other two were meant for the twin tower which fell and many lives were lost. However some say it was not terrorists and that it was the United States government and that the government set a bomb and that they had several motives to do this.

When 9/11 occurred it was everywhere within minutes. On the Television, radio and outspread panic through the cell phones at the time. Nearby people watched in awe as the first tower, the north tower was hit. Television crews rushed to the scene to be the first to broadcast what had happened. Not even 20 minutes later the second plane crashed into the south tower, causing that tower to start to burn down too. Both planes were from the United Airlines and allegedly hijacked by terrorist. The both planes had about 20,000 gallons of jet fuel on board. The plane collided with the building which caused a huge explosion followed by smoke and debris coming from the building. From that it was clear the United States was under attack.

After the attack, the Talibanled by Osama Bin Laden claimed the attack to be there wrath of anger towards the United States. This was because of the United States siding with Israel and still being apart of the Persian war and having troops in the Middle East. Now, we can assume that if the United States has

As history events have been noted in books, so that people will hopefully learn from our miss stakes. There are many things that causes certain events to be written down in history books and that would be when something important happen. This can be something that was a good day or an event that cause a lot of problems. Now what this essay is going to talk about is how the day of 9/11 started and how it even finish after everything was over. Also there might be some things on this essay that might make people mad for writing about 9/11 in general or that it could have been an inside job. Many people believe that this weaken the United States. For the longest time this was the first time that more than 2,000 people die in the U.S from an terrorist attack. On the day September 11, 2001 it started off like any other day, people going to work, kids going to school and people flight to places.

This was called ground zero because everything was laid down to waste. There were many people that help the firefighters and the police since there was a lot that had to be done.

The smoke that spread when the buildings fell was a couple of blocks. This cause some people to pass out from all the dirt/smoke spread around the builds and it sometime killed people that come not make it out.

Institution: Thesis Statement

Since the terrorist attacks on 9/11, America has been on edge about the topic of terrorism. Groups like Al–Qaeda, Hamas, Taliban, and now more recently, ISIS, has kept the world cautious of their every next move. Looking more closely into how these groups are formed and operate could help us better understand how they can be stopped. Studying the history of terrorist organizations can help us better predict the future of terrorist organizations.

Introduction

Terrorismhas become popular among extremists who are employing different dynamic strategies to thrive in their agenda. Understanding the terror groups is fundamental principle to overcome them or counter the sects. Modern terrorism has additionally advanced. Today 's assaults are less incessant, however all the more savage. Terrorists beforehand acted like renegades trying to connect with the foe (Miller, 2013. This was trailed by a period of kidnappings and plane hijackings. States create first class counter–terrorist strengths, extraordinarily prepared at prisoner transaction and salvage. Like the youngster 's amusement – paper–scissors–stone the following phase of advancement was the appropriation of bombings as the favored strategy (Roberts, 2014). Bombs can be delivered from basic materials, put and exploded remotely, with generally okay to the planes and little open door for counter–terrorist strengths to catch them. Terror groups like the IRA, Al–Qaida, ISIS and Boko

Effects of the 9/11 Attacks On the morning of September 11, 2001, an Islamic terrorist group known as al–Qaeda carried out a series of four attacks on the United States. The most well–known attack is when two commercial airline planes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City. Many innocent lives were lost and families were torn apart. While many Americans were determined to show their resilience towards the attacks, this is a day many Americans will never forget. Although the attacks happened sixteen years ago, Americans are still dealing with the impacts these attacks have had on life in America. The 9/11 attacks have had several long–lasting effects on everyday life in America, some of which include an increase in airport security, a change in national security, and an increase the fear of terrorism. Flying out or in of the country or even within has become more challenging since the 9/11 attacks. It takes more time to get through security which makes for a much earlier arrival time for those flying. Most airlines require an arrival two hours prior to their departure time. Many Americans have stopped flying altogether because of the hassle of airport security and out of fear. Before the attacks, airport security was more relaxed. Basic security measures were in place, but it was much different than today. Before the attacks, security screenings were set in place by the private companies, many which were outsourced to different security companies. Passengers were allowed to bring certain size blades, scissors, baseball bats and even sewing needles. All of these items have since been banned as a result of the attacks. Since the attacks, the Transportation Security Administration was created and the security screenings are now regulated by the federal government. Through TSA, passengers bags are checked for banned items, they screened for suspicious behavior, the explosive detection system was implemented, and the full body scanner is now used to check passengers. According to Rick Seaney, "Our security ought to stop anything these days, stringent as it is: We've gone from the metal detectors of the 1970s to post–9/11 body scans and enhanced pat downs. Cockpit doors are now fortified, and the sky

As a matter of fact, it was the combined effort of the people on the plane that made the plane crash in field instead of a populated area.Many new policies were established due to the terrorist attacks. For example, airlines tightened security immensely after this. It seems like it takes a whole day to get through the inspections. This is just one thing that changed after the terrorist attacks. Something rather notable is the President George W. Bush actually went to war against the terrorists without permission from congress. Additionally,another thing that changed drastically is the way Americans feel toward middle

Disaster Response To 9/11

Perhaps the most recognized terrorist attack on the United States was the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2011. The horrific events that unfolded as a result of these attacks will never be forgotten as well as the lessons learned by first responders. Tens of thousands of people were involved in rescue, recovery and clean–up work following the 9/11 World Trade Center(WTC) terrorist attacks. The diverse group of people who responded to this disaster included traditional first responders such as police officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians, along with non–traditional responders such as construction workers, operating engineers and other volunteers, most of whom had no prior training in disaster response (Pietrzak,

September 11 2001 One of the most horrific event that has taken place in the United States Of America in the 2000's was the 9/11 attacks on the World Trades Centre and the Pentagon. Over 500,000 people were affected by these events, yet there are still many unanswered questions about what had really taken place that day and Why? In this essay you will read direct quotes from people who have experienced the catalyst into multiple conspiracy theories and my opinion on what had happened September 11 2001.

At 8:46 on a regular tuesday morning, a hijacked plane flew through the north tower of the world trade center in New York killing everyone on board and on the 93 rd through to the 99th floors. About 15 minutes later, the south tower was hit. With a total of 2,996 civilian deaths, 19...show more content...

All reports say that the steel melted at 1,500В°C the elevation in temperature was due to 90,000 L gallons of jet fuel on a few floors of the WTC. Results in buckling and failure of the steel was due to two factors: loss of strength due to the temperature of the fire, loss of structural integrity due to distortion of the steel from the different degrees in temperatures of the fire.

As one or two of the most heavily burned floors gave way and the outer support began to bow outward, the floors above them also fell. The floor below could not support the roughly 45,000 tons of ten floors this started the domino effect that caused the collapse. It only took seven seconds and would have fallen around 300 km/h a 500,000 tons structure went straight down.

American Airlines Flight 77 The Boeing 757–223 was hijacked by five men affiliated withal–Qaeda on September 11, 2001, flew into the western side of the Pentagon at 9:37 EDT killing all 64 people on board, 125 people in the building and the five

There's no denying it... Fact is: The government was behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center's twin towers and the Pentagon. Albeit, the truth behind what exactly happened on that day is very much shady, and there are multiple conspiracies as to who is truly responsible and why, the real evidence is all there. Contrary to the popular belief that 9/11 was just a tragic muslim radical attack on theUnited States of America, credible evidence proves that the United States government played a particularly devilish role in the events that took place.

On September 11th, 2001 there was an attack on the World's Trade Center. Supposedly, nineteen hijackers were put up to a suicide mission leading into the United States. Two of the hijacked planes were flown into the World's Trade Center in New York City. The third plane hit the Pentagon in Washington D.C. And lastly, the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Although, the fourth plane was originally suppose to be a target somewhere else, the crew and passengers had fought against the hijackers causing it to land in the field. Fifteen years later...show more content...

In the debris of the wreckage "tangible" evidence had been found (some amounts even days later) to prove Al–Qaeda was behind it all. A passport of one of the suspected terrorists had somehow made it out of the plane and had fallen to the ground two blocks away. (Anne Karpf) "Yet we were still in the infancy of coincidence. On September 24 the belongings of alleged terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui threw up a crop dusting manual, while four days later came Atta's suicide note, the one with the counsel to shine your shoes before you meet your maker– a piece of advice which seemed suspiciously Norman Rockwell Esque. It was here, too, that the stuff about 72 virgins awaiting him in heaven first started to circulate." (cite? Anne

September 11, 2001 is the day four planes were hijacked and three crashed into important buildings, while the last crashed into a field. And today all the grief, devastation, great sacrifice, and total annihilation will be remembered throughout time as 9/11. To tell you everything would take forever, so instead I will tell you how my mother saw it. It was on a day we all know as 9/11, there was a house on Quimby Way in Sacramento, California. And in this house, my mother was going throughout her day as usual, which most likely involved laundry, dishes, and watching two children by the name of Alanna and Christopher, when she saw the news. "Is this really happening? This can't be true! Was it an accident? Oh my god, both towers! What would ever make someone do that? This is terrible, why is it even happening in the first place? Why? Why?...show more content...

Grief such as this is not only found in America. Matter of fact she told me that she feels 9/11 is similar to an event that went down over in Eastern Ukraine. She helped me find the information on it; and I learned, that a plane from Malaysia Airlines had left Amsterdam and was headed to Kuala Lumpur one Thursday and was blown to bits over East Ukraine. The event killed everyone in the flight and numerous Dutch children at a school below the plane. Last night my mother said, " The impact of 9/11 won't change, healing takes time, and we've got a lot to do." The coverage on the news though is another story. Mom remembers seeing the events unfold on the ABC News(the same on I saw in class)and how unfathomable it had seemed that something like that could and had happened. But, at the same time she was satisfied, the report was an appropriate or just the right amount of information. There was enough to cause panic , but not too much, and people would be satisfied that they weren't being shut out. People knew enough to understand what was going

On the morning of September 11th 2001 everything seemed like a normal day. One news reporter described the morning as being "too quiet" Nobody could have anticipated the horrible disaster that would take place later that morning. at exactly 8:46 am american airlines flight 11 crashed into the north tower of one world trade center in Manhattan, New York City, marking the beginning of the biggest and most devastating terrorist attack in United States history, 9/11. Flight 11 had taken off earlier that morning at 7:59 to land in LA was hijacked at approximately 8:14 by a group of terrorists led by Mohammed Atta an egyptian working forOsama Bin Laden.

The impact and resulting explosion killed an estimated 125 civilians and military personnel not accounting for the people on the airplane. A fourth plane was also commandeered but seized and brought down by a revolt of the passengers and crew and brought down in a pennsylvania field. The events of 9/11 brought about a host of changes. Among the most noticeable of them were the increase in transportation security at airports and the increase in NSA monitoring the civilian public which would later be exposed by Edward Snowden. As FDR said in reference to the bombing of pearl harbor I believe that 9/11 is also, "A date which will live in

Our country has been through many tragedies and devastations over the years, but nothing could prepare us for the horrific event that took place on September 11, 2001 in New York City. A series of four terrorist attacks by Islamic terrorist group al–Qaeda left the world shaken. Everyone helplessly watched as commercial airlines crashed into the North and South World Trade Centers. The collision left scorching flames, dense smoke, and a gaping hole in the side of the buildings. During that time, thousands of cries for mercy for mercy could be heard along with the silent heartbreaks of millions across the world.

9/11 was one of America's most devastating attacks. The world had stopped to many, and it was also the blackest day in America. Around three thousand people died as a result of the attack. Debrid from the buildings covered the city after the collapsed. People were covered from head to toe in ashes, relying on each other in this time of need. Rescuers scoured about the city in search of survivors and even casualties, resulting in the death of many of the first responders. After the attack, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum was planned to commemorate those who lost their lives. 9/11 was a horrific event in history that will, hopefully, be investigated to find the true reason behind the attacks. This has only raised more questions than answers. However, we continue to mourn their death and celebrate their lives. We shall never

Do you remember what you were doing on Tuesday, September 11th, 2001? Four airplanes were hijacked by members of the Islamic terrorist group, Al–Qaeda. Terrorists hijacked and crashed an American Airline flight and a United Airlines into the Twin Towers in Manhattan, New York, causing a devastating catastrophe. As a result, theWorld Trade Centercollapsed, killing more than 2,600 innocent people including 19 terrorists. This event has so far been the worst act of terrorism in the United States that caused more than $10 billion in property damages.
