September 11, 2001, describes a series of attacks towards the United States in New York City and Washington, D.C. Hijackers intentionally crashed two planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centers in New York City. Both of the towers collapsed within two hours of the crashes, killing nearly 3,000 people. Hijackers also crashed a plane into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and the last plane into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The fourth planes target was intended to hit Washington, D.C. but passengers of the planes attempted to take control before it could reach D.C. There are many effects that changed from the terrorist attack on September 11th security, charity, post-traumatic stress and military.
The FBI’s top criminal priority is public corruption. This corruption involves the corruption of state, local, and federally elected, appointed or contracted officials. With these officials in office, any corruption in these offices could impact the security of our neighborhoods, all they to how secure our borders are. The government protects 7,000 miles of United States land border and 95,000 miles of shoreline. The fact that more than one million visitors enter the U.S through 1 of 327 official ports of entry not including Mexico shows that any corruption could allow a significant threat to enter this country.
Local and State government was required in rescue efforts from police, firefighters and EMT's. The attacks were also a national security issue which put the whole entire nation in alert, being a terroristic strike on our World Trade Center and the Pentagon- home of our Central Intelligence Agency. This drew out the efforts of our Federal government. New York was a little more prepared for this than DC was and extremely more prepared than New Orleans was to the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. If this would've happened in Philadelphia, we would have indeed reacted in the same manner as New York because we are similar in a lot of ways, although New York is fairly larger as a city.
Book Review The Cell: Inside The 9/11 Plot, and Why the FBI and CIA Failed to Stop It. John Miller’s “The Cell: Inside the 9/11 Plot, and Why the FBI and CIA Failed to Stop It” gives a historical time line of how terroristic groups and counterterrorism agencies developed and adapted to each other. Miller starts his book with the events that happened on September 11, 20001. Miller then tells about the assassination of American-Israeli rabbi Meir Kahane by El Sayyid Nosair on November 5, 1990. Miller continues with an overview of Islamic fundamentalist attacks on American interest and the homeland ending with the simultaneous attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the unknown destination that ended in a plane crash in a field
The threat of terrorist attacks changed American culture immensely; the devastation wakened the need for protection and a sense of security. Dramatic measures were taken in order to protect this country, so foreign relations were severely affected. Post 9/11 government saw the “link between immigration and security”, and that by changing foreign policy it would “reduce the likelihood of future attacks” (Krikorian 567).The safety measure in airports were countless from metal detectors to full body scans. “The immigration system has being penetrated by the enemy”, the officials realized which led to unfair accusation of innocents (Krikorian 568). “Overzealous officials” grill suspicious foreigners “to the point of near panic” (Khan 559).
Yes many of these rules are for safety purposes and help make sure that nothing like 9/11 ever happens again, but many people feel that some of the rules they have produced can be very racial and offensive. One major rule is that if you are flying to or within the United States and you have the same first name, last name, or birthday and a known terrorist you will have to go through further inspection before boarding your plane if you are even entitled to board the plane. During the further inspection, police officers will do background checks, and go through every item in your luggage before you are allowed boarding the
doesn’t have many things to go against it. One safe way to stop terrorism is the Visa Security Program. The Visa Security Program interdicts criminals, terrorists and others who would exploit the legal visa process to enter the United States. The program serves as the agency’s frontline in protecting the United States against terrorist and criminal organizations. While many security measures focus on screening names against lists of known terrorist or criminal suspects, the program relies on HSI special agents to identify potential terrorist or criminal suspects and stops them before they can reach the U.S. Another way to stop terrorism are scanners.

9/11 affected the health, financial markets and economy of the citizens of the United States. 9/11 took place on September 11, 2001. Three airplanes were hijacked by terrorist and used as weapons. Two of the planes hit the World Trade Center in New York City and 2,752 people died (September 11 Attacks). The other plane crashed into the Pentagon and killed 189 people.
“At 9:02 a.m. on April 19, 1995, a 7,000-pound truck bomb, constructed of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and nitromethane racing fuel and packed into 13 plastic barrels, ripped through the heart of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The explosion wrecked much of downtown Oklahoma City and killed 168 people, including 19 children in a day-care center. Another 500 were injured. Although many Americans initially suspected an attack by Middle Eastern radicals, it quickly became clear that the mass murder had actually been carried out by domestic, right-wing terrorists. The slaughter engineered by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, men steeped in the conspiracy theories and white-hot fury of the American radical right, marked the opening shot in a new kind of domestic political extremism.
