The impact from this crash left a burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors. 18 minutes after the crash as the news cameras broadcasted live images of what initially appeared to be a freak accident, a second Boeing 767–United Airlines Flight 175–appeared out of the sky and flew into the south tower of World Trade center near the 60th floor .
Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, while the third plane soared into the Pentagon just outside of Washington, D.C., along with the last plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania ("History.com," 2011). In this attack, more than three thousand people died and extensive destruction. Various people lost their lives due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time and risking their lives to save others.

September 11, 2001 an airplane was hijacked and crashed into the twin towers. This killed about 3,000 people. Because of this accident, the Transportation Stormie Curry Security Administration was created. (tsa.gov) It was created to prevent hijackings and help strengthen our transportation systems.
The September 11 attacks were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks launched by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda upon the United States in New York City and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Four passenger airliners were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists so they could be flown into buildings in suicide attacks. Two of those planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Within two hours, both towers collapsed with debris and the resulting fires causing partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the WTC complex, as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon, leading to a partial collapse in its western side.
Response to 9/11 The Event On 11th September 2001, four planes were hijacked by Al-Qaeda. One of the planes flew into the North Tower of the World Trade Centre in New York City. 20 minutes after this horrible event, with camera crews sending pictures all over the world, a second plane crashed into the South Tower. Both Towers collapsed, killing 2,752 people. This number includes the innocent people on the planes, firemen, policemen and medical staff who had all gone to assist the crisis.
On September 11, 2001, our nation was stunned. Everything changed when nineteen hijackers passed airport security and successfully seized four commercial airplanes. Everything changed when the planes crashed, claiming the lives of 2,977 innocent people (“New York”). After September 11 everything changed drastically. Among those changes were a sharp increase in airport security.
Massport (A): The Aftermath of 9/11 On September 11, 2001, two planes departed from Boston’s Logan Airport destined for Los Angeles, California. American Airlines Flight 11 carried 92 passengers and crew members, while 65 people traveled on United Airlines Flight 175. Shortly after departure, terrorists hijacked the two planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York City. Several thousand people died as the twin towers collapsed.1 Investigators concluded that a group of men working for Al Qaeda, the terrorist organization led by Osama Bin Laden, had “spent months planning the attacks from all corners of the nation.”2 The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), the public agency responsible for operating Logan Airport, became the object of intense scrutiny and criticism in the days following the attacks. Many people blamed the agency for failing to provide adequate security, despite the fact that the airlines’ security contractors screened all passengers at the security checkpoints.
As a result, the social welfare of those developed nations decreases. It is thus more difficult for workers to find a job in line with their skills and qualifications; they receive a lower income and they have less time for leisure activities. Plus, this international division of work may lead to economic disequilibrium in developing countries. To get wealthier, they focus their economic activity on the trade with developed countries instead of focusing on their own economic development. This can lead to a shortage of food in third world countries and to starvation of their population, as some of those countries are exporting the major part of their production to developed countries.
However, one of the displeasing fact that happened after accepting the refugees was that the vast majority of sexual offenses were committed by men who were the majority of recent refugees arriving in Germany. ("Refugees Responsible for Tiny Proportion of Sex Crimes in Germany despite Far-right Claims following Cologne Attacks." ) To add on, cultural differences are also one of the factors why countries are unwilling to receive refugees. Due to all of the terror arising in Islamic states, many individuals and countries were starting to get the Islamophobia. Due to Islamophobia, some of the cultures has been banned in certain countries.
