Pages 6-7, in the 9/11 Commission Report foretell four different stories. For instance, the pages have a brief description of what occurred, during the four flights, those being: Flight 11, 175, 77, and 93. All four of these planes stories are told in a timeline, “… Showing the simultaneous histories of the four hijacked airplanes as they began and completed their horrendous missions” (Hill and Wang 6).

We are a very diverse country which makes multicultural a huge impact on our justice system. There have been some changes in the system so that everyone is aware of…

airplanes, “Since our stand up in 2002, we have screened nearly six billion passengers. Our frontline officers have detected thousands of firearms and countless other prohibited items and we have prevented those weapons from entering the cabin of an aircraft.” They do this for our safety and so nothing bad happens to the passengers or the pilot and the flight attendants when the plane is landed and or in flight.
