    “Debunking the 9/11 Myths: Special Report” and “The Conspiracy Industry: Afterword to PM Expanded Investigation” are two articles both written for the Popular Mechanics magazine by James B. Meigs, the latter being written in 2006, one year after the former. “Debunking the 9/11 Myths: Special Report” is an in-depth analysis of conspiracy theories surrounding the 9/11 attacks and the factual evidence that refutes these theories. “The Afterword” is a reflective piece that describes the uprising of the conspiracy theory community after the first article was published, and then poses the argument as to why conspiracy theorists have an “illusion of coherence”. The first article published by Meigs garnered a lot of attention from the conspiracy theory…

    The idea of a narrative is to tell a story, the events occurring on the day of September 11, 2001 will provide an opportunity to relay my feelings, moving beyond the initial pure and basic anger at those responsible for such a desperate act. The image shows two emergency responders in the cloud of debris left by the collapse of the Trade Centers and what drew me to this picture is what they must have been talking about. The questions and issues I initially considered included: the loss of life; the tremendous devastation; and are there more survivors, where these possibilities could only be confirmed by talking to the individuals in the picture. Instead, I decided that the picture will be used as a metaphor to relay my awareness of the incident,…

    The atrocities of 9/11 changed my life forever. No longer was I able to travel freely around the world; I was one of “them.” Time and time again, I would be stopped by an authority to go through secondary inspection, have my passport placed under scrutiny, or be pulled into an interrogation room where I would be questioned about dark-skinned men in pictures - did I know them - or my knowledge of bazookas. All because of my name. I appear to be your classic American, fair complexion and blue eyes, yet I would be detained over and over again, sometimes for hours, always ending with apologies from those who had stopped me.…

    night being 16 years ago on this day, I’m sure America woke up still in shock or not even able to sleep through the the United States was on high alert after the towers have been hit by two planes flown by two suicide bombers on 9/11/01. I woke up on the morning of September 11, 2001 and at the time I was 10 years old, I remember looking at the television that was on news and seeing the twin towers on fire and smoking. I didn’t understand back then what was going on, none of the adults in the house we’re talking about it or what had happened I just thought it was another day. As I went to school and ate breakfast, I remember hearing our teacher talk about it and the worried look on their faces. Before we were to go back to our classes, I asked…

    September 11th, 2001 was a tragic day for the United States. Erin Siegel told CNN “It’s hard to live in the shadow of 9/11... It was particularly painful for me because I was fighting with my dad when he died, and for a very long time I blamed myself and wished that we could have resolved it, that we could have parted on better terms. I would’ve traded years of my life to have made that come true. Eventually, after being adrift in that thick darkness for a long time, bargaining gave way to a different strategy: keeping him with me” (9/11 Children:).…
