Gray, Geoffrey. Skyjack: The Hunt for D.B. Cooper. New York: Crown, 2011. Print. Skyjack: The Hunt for D.B.

The losses for 9/11 are as following: “$7 billion: Amount paid out through the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund to the survivors of the 2,880 people killed and 2,680 injured in the attacks. $8.7…

of Muslims and of Islam as a religion of terrorism. This film depicts a scene that would have never been expected only to have a devastating terrorist attack happen in NYC only three years later.
