September 11th, 2001 In my perspective, what happened on September 11th, 2001, was an act of terrorism on the United States. It was a decade ago that 19 terrorists took control of four planes, flew two into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, hit the Pentagon with a third, and crashed the fourth in a field in Pennsylvania after passengers resisted and made it impossible for the terrorists to complete their mission. The government also thought that 9/11 was an act of terrorism put on by the Muslims. While conspiracy theorists have a different perspective because they believe that there was more to this attack, it was plotted out and people from America were in on it. There have been many different perspectives on what really happened on this day.
September 11, 2001 (9/11) was the first time American’s had experienced an act of terrorism at such an intense level. Fourteen minutes before 9 a.m. a commercial passenger airplane crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC). The second plane crashed into the South Tower at about 9:03 a.m. At about 9:43 a.m. an aircraft crashed into the Pentagon and shortly after 10 a.m. both WTC towers collapsed. The fourth plane was brought down in rural Pennsylvania. Americans everywhere were angry, fearful, and heartrending.

This proved to be the last attack as the passengers
Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks (History). Since 9/11, I have asked myself these questions every time I step on to a plane; is this plane safe? Are we going to get hijacked? Then seconds later I tell myself that I’m being crazy and continue on my way. That moment of second guessing will constantly be lingering in my head.
RUNNING HEAD: TERRORISM 1 Terrorism, Emergency Powers, and the role of the U.S. Supreme Court RUNNING HEAD: TERRORISM 2 Thesis Since September 11, 2001 our nation went through an act or terror which terrorist took over two planes and directed them into the World Trade Center which stood 1,776 feet tall. When the planes hit the World Trade Center into two different areas that caused the World Trade Center to collapse and many lives were lost. On top of that the Pentagon was also attack with a plane which again many American’s. This was a terrorist act that no one expected.

(fbi.gov, 2008) The World Trade Center’s parking garage located in Manhattan, NYC has exploded with a manmade bomb. The attack turned out to be something of a deadly dress rehearsal for 9/11…Al Qaeda would later return… (fbi.gov, 2008). The U.S. was violated by a terrorist attack from those comparable to Al-Qaeda.
