issues travel warnings Hundreds of people arrived at the White House late Sunday night and chanted, "USA! USA!" They then chanted, "Hey, hey, goodbye!" in reference to the demise of bin Laden and then spontaneously sang the national anthem. "This welcome news is a credit to our intelligence efforts and brings to justice the architect of the attacks on our country that killed nearly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, the ranking Republican on the Homeland Security Committee, in a statement issued Sunday night.
He is constantly put on a pedestal, "the agony with which this public veneration tortured him. It was his genuine impulse to adore the truth, and to reckon all things shadow-like, and utterly devoid of weight or value” (Hawthorne 145). Dimmesdale felt as though he could not let anyone know his undisclosed sin either, in a worry that the public eye would judge him negatively. Specifically,
People from all over the world seen United Airlines Flight 175 crash into the south tower, they seen both towers collapse and the ensuing chaos of the survivor rescue search. For the following weeks all over the world seemed to be frozen in time as we watched the aftermath and seen the rubble of what was left of New York. This event affected not just Americans but people all over the world. After 9/11 people were left with emotions of fear, panic, paranoia and confusion. It changed Airport Security internationally and worlds governments policies against terrorism.
September 11, 2001 Terrorists of Middle Eastern origin crash three hijacked airliners into New York’s World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. A fourth hijacked airliner crashes in rural Pennsylvania on its way to a target. Almost 3,000 people are killed in the attacks. Timeline of Events xxi October 2001 Congress passes the USA Patriot Act, giving law enforcement officials more power to combat the threat of terrorism. 2002 Criminal investigation of the bankruptcy of Enron, one of the nation’s largest corporations, begins, leading to several convictions over the next few years on securities fraud
The forty passengers and crew who died after overpowering the terrorists in order to divert the plane from its intended target, the U.S. capitol in Washington, are being commemorated with the Flight 93 memorial.“Ten years later, the gaping hole left in lower Manhattan by the deadliest foreign attack on the United Sates in history remains largely unfilled. But a new skyscraper is nearly two-thirds complete at ground zero to replace the iconic twin towers that stood there for 30 years until the terrifying morning of September 11, 2002.” (Jost). Surrounded by bronze parapets with the incised names of 2,983 names consist of persons killed at the WTC in New York, the Pentagon in Northern Virginia, and a field in rural Pennsylvania. “The Pentagon memorial uses cantilevered metal benches to commemorate the 184 people killed in the third of the crashes on 9/11. The benches are organized in lines based on the victims ages-from the youngest, age 3, to the oldest, age 71.” (Jost).
The dreaded day we all know as “9/11” was heart-rending and painful for many Americans all because of an inhumane and merciless act by a gang of jealous and loathing group of terrorists known as “Al-Queda”. On this day, 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked 4 planes and intentionally flew two of them into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. This act killed everyone on board, in the buildings and took down both towers. September 9, 2010, the proposed construction of building a “ground zero mosque” at park 51 has stirred controversy throughout the United States. Many Americans oppose the construction of the mosque next to ground zero because they see this as the terrorists gaining victory over the U.S. and building a mosque
The second phase is the one known by many of us, when four American contractors were killed and their bodies mutilated. At the third phase, the city was turned over in the hands of the Iraqi generals. The fourth phase, fall of 2004 the Marines were again in Fallujah. The city was awaiting the Marines with hundreds of fighters from all over the world. With the murder of the four Americans contractors, it was clear that the U.S. had to react and do something, but it was not until months later.
He couldn’t even believe what was happening. Watching planes crashing to the Trade Center, seeing people only way is to jump off the building from the 78th floor, and then realizing we were being attacked. 9/11 was the day America changed and it is the worst attack in U.S history. More than three thousand died and our country in mixed emotions. Quickly fell on al-Qaeda, and in 2004, the group's leader, Osama Bin Laden, who had initially denied involvement,
On September 11, 2001 two planes crashed into the World Trade Center, a third into the Pentagon, and a fourth into a Pennsylvania field. This day was the deadliest attack of by foreign enemies on American soil. Later it was learned that the hijackers had received flight training in the United States. In 2004 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is ordered to check all foreign students against terrorism, criminal and immigration databases (Boyer, 2001). In October 2010, at a flight school 30 miles northwest of Boston, Federal officials arrested dozens of illegal immigrants, including the owner and students who received clearance by the U.S. Government despite of the strict guidelines put in place after the September 11 attacks.
From that I would like to share two events that affected me the most dramatically, 9/11 and social media. On September 11, 2001, 19 members of al-Qaeda hijacked airplanes. They’re mission was to attack targets in the United States (History). Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, and a third plane hit the Pentagon. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks (History).
