From the Ashes of September 11th Comes Forth a New Nation & United We Stand The acts of terrorism committed on September 11th affected more than just those who lived in the cities that were attacked. Almost every American still hears the echo of the plane hitting the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 and the South Tower at 9:03. After the Pentagon was attacked at 9:38 the S Tower collapse killing countless people whereas the N tower collapsed at 10:28. Though this country has always been considered a patriotic nation although its patriotic tone has never been widely heard. Despite the many negative aspects of the terrorist attacks, the changes that also came from the attacks will change the way our nation defines the word security.
Therefore, our modern day Jefferson’s and Franklins are guaranteed to have notched their place in history for acting so quick as to pass such big and heavy bill faster than any legislation has ever been passed before. In order to give our protectors such as the FBI, certain liberties, to keep new technologies such as the internet from being used against us, we needed to pass laws that fly in the
So we ask “why?” What was the motivation of the government to cause or allow such an awful thing to happen? Skeptics found a few ways that our government might have benefitted from the attacks of September 11th, specifically in two main areas. After 2001, our government spent billions of dollars each year on upgrading security for airports, the Navy, the Army, Marines, Special Forces and other military, defense and security based industries in the U.S. This would have been a major benefit to the government to boost their military, receive funding and support from other countries and most of the scared citizens of the U.S. that want anything and everything it takes to protect them from terrorists. The other benefit our government received had to do with the changes caused in the economy when the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened.

We, as a country, have expanded our thoughts to include an expanded set of hazards pertaining to terrorism. These expanded hazards have generally only been a consideration of our limited special operations of our military, federal law enforcement, and intelligence communities. Post-9/11 these hazards became a new consideration, a new set of hazards. The 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center’s twin towers forever set in stone a mindset that introduced these hazards as new threats and risks to our nation-New considerations for most. It wasn't the first terrorist attack we endured.
The Al-Anon Family Groups have no opinion on outside issues; hence our name ought never be drawn into public controversy. 11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, films, and TV.

8:56 A.M. September 11th, 2001: Hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 11 crash into floors 93-99 of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, killing everyone on board and hundreds inside the building, the first of four crashes that day. The devastating events of September 11th caused a universal increase in American security; from airports to the government itself, more drastic, yet necessary, additions to our security have been made, prioritizing safety over privacy and convenience.

Since the September 11th terrorist attacks many measures have been taken to ensure the safety of American citizens; the most drastic of these changes can be seen in the American airports and
We all know that many American died at the horrifying attack. “4,500 Americans were killed or wounded” (Richmond). The way put out in text and understood is that, Pearl Harbor was indeed a wake up call for our nation and we did loose many Americans in the attack. But without that attack we wouldn't have gone to war, meaning, we wouldn't have stopped Hitler or the Holocaust. Stinnett quotes the chief cryptographer for the pacific fleet, who said, “It was a pretty cheap price to pay for unifying the
The aftermath of 9/11 forced Congress to make significant changes in the intelligence community to improve and prevent future attacks. Congress created new posts to coordinate all US intelligence efforts, the Director of National Intelligence, Department of Homeland Security, National Counterterrorism Center, and many other agencies. Although the intelligence agencies have become a stronger community they will still come across short comings. According to former NCTC chief Leiter “The counterterrorism community of which I was part of, works as hard as it possibly can every day of the year, it’s a 24/7, 365 day-a-year operation globally. But no matter how good we are, no matter how much we’ve improved information-sharing, no matter how much we improve our information technology, things are going to get
Jordan Rankin Mr. Townsend ENG 112-09 October 3, 2011 The Impact of 9/11 on American Society On September 11, 2001 America as we know it changed dramatically.
