September 11 attacks

September 11, 2001 was a day that shook America to its core, but to me, it had little meaning. Though, it probably should have. My dad is a pilot for United Airlines and he was piloting a flight on this dreadful day. As if it wasn’t bad enough that he was in the air, he was in the same airspace as the hijackers that took over the first plane to hit the towers. He, eerily, heard their voices on the radio. I was in Mrs. Seitz’s second grade class. She was a short, intense lady who never…

we can agree that Al-Qaeda has accomplished at least three out of the four strategies that they have in motion. The second strategy that they have accomplished is to “overwhelm their enemy.” The problem with terrorism is that you never know when an attack is coming. That is what instills fear in people. All the countries that have been effected by Al-Qaeda’s reign of terror has now been forced to spend billions of dollars on security. Before the war on terror people didn’t think twice about…

September 11th, 2001 is a day that everyone in American history knows. It is observed annual in schools and other federal buildings, and anyone alive and aware of their surroundings on that day could tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing when they received the news of the treacherous event. A terrorist attack where two passenger planes were hijacked to crash into the twin towers would change American history forever. Not only would this change the lives of the individual…

characters, Adam, Janet, Ray and Palmer. That being said, perhaps the most prominent of all, were the one’s related to the terrorist attack on the United States on September 11, 2001. Needless to say, that was probably a touchy subject to write so in detailed about. Nonetheless, Dietz crafted the plotline in a very elegant and perhaps informative manner. Regarding the 9/11 conspiracies, there were several that seemed separate, yet were connected with one another scattered amongst the…

especially against people not in the military, in the pursuit of political aims. Do I believe the " war on terrorism is justifiable I would say yes because, this may sound "foolish" to some people, but doesn't it make a nation "stronger"? Take September 11 for example. The United States has not had a glimpse of real threat in the big picture of terrorism since, security has greatly improved, and people can work together and help others affected. That is my argument.Terrorism is strongly against…

The World Trade Center Memorial commemorates the September 11, 2001,attacks and the bombing that occurred at the World Trade Center in 1993. The memorial can be found at the former location of the Twin Towers in New York. These fountains that rest in the footprints of the towers are a powerful reminders of our nations history and all the lives that were lost that day. This memorial is ultimately successful because it evokes emotion whether that be sadness or possibly a feeling of serenity or…

dangers, which have shaped me into a more caring person who cherishes the gift of life. The personal fear that I have experienced almost losing my dad and brother through tragic events ignited by hatred demand my personal maturity and compassion. 9/11, the war in Afghanistan, and the on-going…

In this article/journal, it is discovered how the Cold War affected the U.S. African policy and how the outcome was different than expected. The policy that the U.S. had towards Somalia during the Cold War era explained the transition of the U.S.’ policy change from an alliance to using Somalia as a battleground during the War of Terror. The change in policy became disorganized and a hectic policy framework. There was an alliance of warlords in 1991 that defeated President Siad Barre’s command,…

Henry Ford, one of the most notorious successful Americans that invented the assembly line, once said “ Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success”. The United States of America was founded on immigration which in turn today there is an extensive diversity. America is able to succeed despite being an “improbable idea” by how the country is able to unite and recover quickly after times of hardship and how the citizens are able to tolerate and coexist…

(Remembering 9/11). Winthrop W. Aldrich decided to explore the idea of turning this exhibit into a reality, but soon abandon his plans, after wide spread criticism (Remembering 9/11). However, s generation later, David Rockefeller, Winthrop’s nephew and grandson of John Rockefeller, made the decision to resuscitate the idea of the World Trade Center and finally realized his uncle’s dream (Remembering 9/11).
