People were watching this horrific act being shown on every news channel for weeks after the attacks occurred. At the same time Americans were being told that terrorist had hi-jacked each plane and took control of the planes in order for these terrible acts to have taken place. The media was used as a deception to all Americans in order for them to believe that there were actual terrorists who attacked America for an unseen reason. To this day no one has shown a reliable reason for the attacks on
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.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, I woke up with great confusion not knowing what all the commotion was about at home in my living room. As I got to school, my teachers explained to me that our country was under attack by terrorists. I learned that nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four jet airliners and crashed two of them into the Twin Towers in New York City, killing everyone onboard as well as others that were working in the buildings. At around 8:46 AM EST, American Arlines Flight 11 that was hijacked by the terrorists crashed into the north tower taking out the all the floors in between the 93rd and 99th floors. Shortly after at 9:03, United Arlines Flight 175 crashed into the south tower destroying everything between the 77th

When the accident occurred and the planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the entire nation was devastated. The tragedy has had a lot of influences on Americans, both negative and positive. 9/11 has had a huge impact on Americans directly.
n the weeks following September 11, 2001, federal, state and local law enforcement officials investigated those responsible for the September 11 attacks during which nearly 3,000 people died. They assessed the United States's vulnerability to future acts of terrorism. Investigations showed the suspects of the crime to be of Middle Eastern origin. In the wake of the September 11 attacks, US officials responded to the fears of air travelers by reinforcing security. Despite more thorough investigation ofbaggage and increased security staffing, there were so many vast open spaces, exits and entrances at airport hubs that prevention of incidents was problematic.
"Beep, Beep, Beep.." Privates Joseph Lockard and George Elliot raced to their superior to tell of the approaching planes. After they realized that the planes were American, the two alarmed men relaxed and returned to their duties. What they didn't realize at that moment, was that the approaching planes, along with submarines, could change the nation drastically. The attack of Pearl Harbor was a catastrophic event that caused death , pain, and suffering, both in a direct and indirect way. It killed nearly 2,500 people, caused the entrance of the US into World War Two, and changed the nation in other extravagant ways.
Individuals at the scene experience traumatic stress. The event was described as the attack on America, and many citizens felt that connect with the victims because any citizen could have been at work in the Trade center or be on a plane that day. “September
When mentions of airplanes, New York, and the Middle East are placed together, it is common to think that the author is alluding to the attacks on our World Trade Center in 2001. However, this is not the case. None of the airplanes used to attack our nations came from JFK airport. When doing further reading, I noticed the author says “ whole flocks are being gassed near JFK” and that “they’re going to make the opposition pay.” It is clear now that her allusion to our country’s War on Terror. These “whole flocks” had to be fleets of planes being sent over seas to avenge the death of our nation’s tallest twins.
Finally, the fourth plane crashed into a field in the rural area of Pennsylvania around 10:03 A.M. (911 timeline). After all these terrorists attacks on the United States this country was affected in so many ways. The effects of September 11, 2001, now known today as 9/11, were the loss of lives, the economic consequences and the security at the airports. The loss of innocent lives during 9/11 was
Resolved: The USFG Should Create A Policy That Substantially Reduces Security Measures In All United States Airports What comes to mind in terms of airport security? Is it the process of physically screening every passenger so that the plane can complete a safe journey? Is it a sham produced by the United States Federal Government (USFG) to make travelers feel better? The answer is probably a little bit of both. Immediately after the 9/11 terrorists attacks, there was an overwhelming need to review and change the security procedures that were in place at that time.
