American Airlines Flight 11

This is my reflection on the 9-11 events. On September 11th, 2001 a plane crashed into the one of the two twin towers. Soon after another plane did the same to the other. The Pentagon was destroyed, a field in Philadelphia was pointlessly burned, and when they thought it couldn’t get any worse, the two buildings collapsed. Power was suddenly off in downtown Massachutes and the world trade center was destroyed. It was a sad and tragic event. It seemed to really have no really good reason to…

How do you remember the date: 9/11/1?

Adam Goodheart states “Each a honeycomb that traps us side by side with strangers” (242).

The weather and setting of Roger Rosenblatt’s essay, “The Man in the Water,” had a prodigious effect on one particular man as well as everyone else who was involved in the catastrophic January 13, 1982 crash of Air Florida Flight 90. Due to the winter season and the weather conditions, the water in the Potomac River where passengers landed was frigid. One courageous man stepped forward and began to save as many of the horrified and dying people as he could. Since the water was so cold, it…

However, since those two airplanes were in the uncontrolled…

The man in the red bandana It was 9:12 when the south tower was hit. I am John Reynolds a survivor from 9-11. Once the plane hit, smoke was everywhere around me. A piece of glass hit my leg, it started to bleed badly. I tried to tie something on it to slow the bleeding. I could barely see my hands and leg in front of me. Everything was going black, and at first a thought that it was the smoke in the air. It just kept getting darker and darker, then i realized that I was losing my conscious and…

hair. No one really knew who he was, he looked like the average person. Blending in with the crowd. Cooper looked to be in his 40’s and had light brown eyes. He seemed very calm to be skyjacking a plane. “He ordered a drink—bourbon and soda—while the flight was waiting to take off.” (“D.B. Cooper Hijacking” 2) Dan Cooper blended in well with businessmen and didn’t look like a crook.…
