Following the collapse of the Twin Towers on 9/11, the fire service has undergone a transformation in its response in order to avoid another disaster of this magnitude. The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centers in New York City, New York identified new building design and construction concerns due to a terror event. On September 11, 2001, two commercial aircrafts intentionally crashed into the World Trade Center twin towers igniting jet-fuel-fed fires inside the structures. Due to the intense flames impinging on the steel structure the towers collapsed. Three hundred forty-three firefighters died in the collapse.…
The Greatest Hoax In US History Was 9/11 really a terror attack? Many people believe that on September 11th, 2001, terrorists flew two airplanes into the World Trade Center because they “Hate our freedom.” The initial perception fails to take into account the mass amount of evidence that disproves the widely thought occurrence. Once people understand the event, they will finally realise the shady works of our US Government.…
My book is about people who risked their life's for others. Also it explains all kinds of things that happen on 9/11. 9/11 was a terrorist attach which they hijacked four planes and 2 of them crashed into the twin towers and killed thousands of others. There was 2 other ones, but one of them hit the Pennington and the other one crashed that was heading for the white house. They crashed because the passengers took control.…
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.…
The war on terror was always part of the United States. We have always fought terrorists and wanted to bring them to justice. However, the attacks of 9/11 gave the United States a push to find who did this and bring this to justice. Before the attacks the United States were basically playing world policeman, after the attacks President Bush declared that it was an act of terrorism and they would bring the terrorists to justice. The attacks of 9/11 changed the nation’s views toward terrorists and brought about a sense of nationalism throughout the citizens of the United States.…
After the devastating events that occurred on September 11, 2001, the numbers 9 and 11 are no longer just two ordinary numbers. These numbers are a constant reminder to the American people that such a catastrophe is possible and no one can predict what the future holds. These numbers now serve as more than just an emergency telephone number. These numbers mean something personal to all Americans who witnessed this historic event not long ago. The 2,977 deaths on that day in the World Trade Center is something America will never forget and America has changed forever because of it.…
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…
The attacks on that day left many people sad and upset. So when people’s patriotism was boosted this led to many good deeds being done for other people. Although patriotism in many cases is a good thing, it can also be a bad thing. (Thurman, “How 911 Impacted Patriotism”) Airports have changed drastically.…
My name is Jessica Pierre and I am currently a sophomore here at Valencia. Once I graduate from Valencia I do plan on transferring over to UCF where I will major in Advertisement and Public Relations. September 11 would have to be the earliest memory of a historical event I can actually remember. Only because on that particular day I was in school and one of the teachers came running into my classroom crying. Which made my teacher along with some of my classmates cry as well.…
My friend explained to me that after 9/11 her father was attacked because they were from Pakistan people accused him of being a terrorist and connected to the 9/11 attacks, her father made the decision to go against his religion and have her take off her Hijab to avoid being attacked. Hearing this,fear started to build inside of me at the thought of someone being only 12 years old and having to deal with very real issues. As she spoke her voice started to fade away and all the noise in the background disappeared. Furthermore, I started to prepare to defend my friend and our friendship. However, there ended up being nothing to defend and over time my friend drifted most likely out of fear of the unknown I suppose that in a situation like that…
I remember I was in 8th grade when 9/11 happened, I was sitting at the science classroom and they had T.V, The teacher turn it on and started watching the news, I was confused of what was going on and of why we stopped class. Moment later I was called by a teacher and walk to the office and my aunt was there to pick me and my cousing so I went home. It was not until I got home that I undertood what had happened. The memory is so strong that I remember my teacher, my desk and the row I was at among many other thing, it is one of the events that I have lots of details in my…

September 11, 2001, a day of grief and courage. Many men and women risked their lives that day: firefighters, police, and civilians. The United States was attacked by cruel people for unjust reasons. We were attacked by a terrorist group known as Al-Qaeda. While the day was coming to an end, many were feeling overwhelmed and terrified.…
In order to understand “War on Terror” and how it began, one must first go back to understand when it all began. On September 11, 2001 the country faced what has been one of the strongest attacks against America. On that day Americans first witnessed what would be something that would mark the country forever. The American life changed for good, people no longer felt protected or at peace. It was no longer the same; it was as though something had been taken away from them.…
