If you're going to visit a monument then I would suggest the 9/11. The 9/11 monument is a very well thought out memorial. It honors 9/11 very well. It has all of the names of the nearly 3,000 victims of that day. When people see it for the first time they are amazed.…
9/11, was it an inside job or not? Some people believe that 9/11 was done by Busch. The other people believe that it was a terrorist act. I believe that 9/11 was an inside job because, the way the building fell, the plane couldn’t have caused it and something had to be placed in the building.…
The 9/11 Memorial means the most to me because of all the meaningful details in the memorial and it’s tribute to remember all of the innocent people that were killed. One thing that means a lot to me is how the memorial was setup and all the details they…
The conflict of George bush being involved in 9/11 can be solved by either George bush being taken to prison because of a confession, enough evidence comes out that he gets taken to court, or al Qaeda admits that it was planned by George bush. While the twin tower attacks were going on, George bush was reading a book to second graders. Suddenly, one of the secret servicemen came and whispered something in his ear. He continued to read. The secret servicemen had said something about the attack when the first tower was hit, then he whispered again when the second tower was hit, he continued to read.…
Ongoing Wars: Not even a month after the 9/11 attack, the U.S sent troops to invade Afghanistan in an attempt to disassemble al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda was a terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack. The United States invaded Iraq 2 years later, in March 2003 and deposed President Saddam Hussein. The President was linked in directly to the attack but was suspected of producing weapons of mass destruction (Matthew, 2017). However, none were initially found but the invasion was key part of Americas newly launched war on terror which was under the presidency of George W. Bush.…
The National September 11 Memorial, or “Reflecting Absence," is a eulogy built in loving memory of the thousands of American lives that were lost on September 11th, 2001 due to a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center near Shanksville, Pa., and at the Pentagon, as well as the six people killed in the World Trade Center bombing in February 1993. The construction of the memorial began on March 2006, and the doors to the memorial opened on September 11th, 2011, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the attack. The memorial is located at the site of the 9/11 tragedy on the former World Trade Center structure and takes up approximately half of the 16-acre ground. What everyone had known as Ground Zero for ten years had finally become an outstanding memorial to honor all the loss and pain endured by the country and its citizens. The design for the memorial was chosen by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation after carefully reviewing over 5,000 entries that were submitted in a cosmopolitan competition held in 2003.…
After the events of 9/11 many changes were made in the U.S. All across the US, panic and fear was rising quickly as people watched the towers fall one by one. Americans were memorializing the victims and showing their loyalty to America by flying the American flag everywhere. The biggest change after 9/11 can be seen at airports. Shortly after the event took place the government created the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act.…
On September 11, 2001 the United States experienced one of the worst tragedies in history. The 9/11 tragedy happened in New York City. On the morning of September 11, 2001 a terrorist hijacked four planes at the Boston’s Logan airport. They had chosen the planes that were heading west instead of east because they would be loaded with fuel. The first two planes had hit their targets of The Twin Towers in New York City, the first one crashed at 8:46 am in the North side and the second one crashed at 9:03 am into the South side.…
Hello, I believe everything has been covered. But I will second with Cheniqua, to say that the staff at WTCC are ecstatic about this opportunity and they are looking forward to the event. In addition, they would like for us to provide any updates in regards to admissions, programs, etc. If this could be covered during the event, that would certainly be great.…
The terrorist attacks of September 2001 shattered Americas illusion of safety from this type of attack. With a tiny number of people, just 19, terrorists were able to commandeer 4 jet planes and use them as missiles, destroying both buildings of the World Trade Towers, as well as striking the Pentagon. Although there were 2,146 confirmed deaths of the buildings occupants, the devastation could have been much worse. At full capacity, there would have been 25,000 people trying to exit the burning buildings, trampling each other in the panic. The death toll would have potentially been 10 times more devastating than it was (Bose, 2005).…
These were symbols for parts of the U.S. al Qaeda perceived as a threat. The Twin Towers represented America’s economic power and their role as leaders in globalization, which al Qaeda believed to be the reason the United States could control and occupy Islamic countries. The group also targeted the United States military not only because of their occupation but also because al Qaeda could never directly fight the U.S. military. Al Qaeda also opposed the United States foreign policy and wanted to…

Brooklyn Bridge and modernization of New York City Since Brooklyn Bridge was completed in the 19th century, it had been an iconic feature of the New York City. Being not only a bridge that connected Manhattan and Brooklyn for transportation convenience, Brooklyn Bridge had also become one of the greatest landmarks of New York City, even the U.S.A. To be honest, it is Brooklyn Bridge that contributes a lot to the development of the New York City and is the witness to the modernization of the New York City as well. First of all, Brooklyn Bridge itself is a monumental achievement that reflected a new industrial era of technological progress.…
