The passengers were unable to get into the cockpit so they tried using the food cart to open the cockpit door. When the remaining hijackers realized that they were gonna be overthrown they went with the tip of the plane into the ground. One of the passengers aboard who knew how to fly a plane made an attempt which failed to bring the plane back up the 40 passengers and the 4 hijackers were all dead after the crash. The movie United 93 was very accurate on what actually went on with Flight 93 during the September 11 attacks. Some of the actors in the film were American Airlines employees.
On August 9th, three days later, Japan still hadn’t said they surrendered and the USA dropped another atomic bomb on Nagasaki, killing 50,000. The term justified in this context means the dropping of the bombs were reasonable and fair. Different views on the dropping of the atomic bombs exist because there are arguments for and against it. Someone’s interpretation and opinion is affected by factors like their age, country, family and peer’s views, and their own morals. I will be looking at two views: They are both justified, or that none are justified.
The bombings killed many civilians, not all of whom were communist and pro-North. However, he argued, it was a necessary action to wear down the communist regime’s morale and put blows to the enemy’s resources. These attacks were important to the overall outcome of the war and though evil, McNamera felt they were necessary. The last lesson, get the data, was a lesson that McNamera used
Instead they only succeeded in the Twin Tower destruction, because the Pentagon was still standing, and the last plane crashed in a field in Pensylvannia. The North Tower was hit first then the South Tower, but the South Tower fell first. The Pentagon was hit in the side and was only damaged in a small portion of it, and although, the White House was supposed to be attacked it was lucky that the passengers fought back and took the plane down along with their lives. Initially, Osama Bin Laden was not successful in destroying America’s economy or any part of it. In addition, the bombing actually helped the United States realize that we are very vulnerable to terrorist attacks and now we must prepare for more Random Acts of Violence.
The captain can use a fast acting extinguisher that would result in blast of steam putting out fire, but this will kill the men trapped in engineering. What should he do? What would a telegocial thinker do? How would a deontological thinker respond? The captain should use the extinguisher which will killed the trapped men because if he doesn’t then the whole crew will die but if he
It was argued that to wait for the Japanese to surrender would have cost many lives. But would the Japanese soon have been defeated anyway by the U.S. army? Was the use of atomic bombs, weapons that instantly killed tens of thousands of men, women, and children immoral? Yes. Killing thousands of innocent people is never moral, in any case.
In the sense of Walzer then, the Marines would not have been acting unjust, and that all the insurgents should be killed. However, in reality, it is most probably that the men were not all insurgents and the Marines entrapping them and unfortunately killing some of them in the car accident that soon followed the capture, was in fact a real war
The North American Aerospace Defense Command is prepared to send out fighter jets, which can debilitate or shoot down an airplane. Some skeptics believe NORAD commanded defense systems stood down because of their lack of presence during attacks. My beliefs of this conspiracy are true. The jets did not manage to respond until after the attack was over. It took more then an hour for them to respond.
Maybe it wasn't right to send all Japanese Americans to camps, but U.S. officials didn't see much of an option. Another Effect is that U.S. finally decided to enter WWII when before they tried to stay neutral. Overall the Japanese sank or severely damaged 18 ships, including the 8 battleships, three light cruisers, and three destroyers. On the airfields the Japanese destroyed 161 American planes (Army 74, Navy 87) and seriously damaged 102 (Army 71, Navy
A terrorist is defined as one who uses violence for political purposes in the form of bombing, kidnapping, and assassinations. Terrorists do not follow the laws of war, they do not fight fair, and instead of wearing a uniform they hide in society and target innocent people. Although it is stated that torturing is unconstitutional, the question then becomes, what is torture? It varies greatly from one person to another, and once that question has been answered then the question is, when should torture be justified? When the planes hit the World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001 New York along with the rest of the United States was in a state of shock, confusion, and terror.
