9/11 Terrorism Conclusion

Decent Essays
Looking back from the start of this project I feel that I knew nothing. Now I know a lot of facts about this topic. I was lucky to get the group that I have because we were all hard working and put in the same amount of effort that everyone else had put. I have learned so much including that only 7 plane crashes had crashed because of terrorism since the 2000's started. We found that finding some of the data was a little bit hard because when we typed what is the main reason for plane crashes a lot of news websites coming up saying terrorism attacks from 15 years ago a.k.a. 9/11 attacks. I had to go through a couple of pages until I found a website that keeps track of how planes crash. This was a great resource because it gave us so much data …show more content…
Chris was the grounds crew interviewing Adam to show that Adam thinks that the plane crash was because of terrorism, yet it was due to a mechanical error. I was a stats man who said that only 7 planes have crashed due to terrorism and 56 have been due to pilot error. I think my group did a good job especially did more than what we expected. The question was "Is one of the main reasons for plane crashes terrorism or is it just a misconception?" I feel like I can be less worried about plane crashes because looking at the data I see that a plane has a 0.006% chance of crashing and a 0.0001% chance of saying it was I think it is safe to say that before we resort saying "Oh Isis obviously did this attack." we can take a look closer and find what actually caused the crash. If I had the option to do another PBL with a group like this on a topic more or nearly as difficult do to research I would definitely do this again. My group hopes that we will change everyone's minds about thinking that terrorism is the first cause of terrorism. To finish it off I just think of all of the different misconceptions there are that I fall for that aren't

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”.

    In this case, skeptics of 9/11 believe that the government planned the “plane crash” for the reason of going to war with Iraq and Afghanistan. “In this sense [conspiracy theory] 9/11 is no different from the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the fatal car crash of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed or - for Germans- the suicide of politician Uwe Barschel”(Gerdes). Flight UA 93 did not crash into the field, because if so there would have been evidence of the plane. UA 93 was simply shot down by the fighter jets. CNN news had reports three minutes after the attacks.…

    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,…
