9/11 Attacks In The Guardian And The Los Angeles Times

September 11, 2001 (herein referred to as 9/11) was a day in American history, which will be remembered as the most horrific attack on American soil. This attack, carried out by nineteen Islamic extremists, was associated with al-Qaeda, and involved the hijacking of four airplanes. Two of those airplanes were hijacked and flown directly into the World Trade Center in New York City, New York. The third plane’s target was the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and the fourth plane was brought down in Pennsylvania where it is believed the passengers aboard fought the hijackers. This horrific day in history cost over 3,000 people their lives, and was labeled the worst attack on American soil since the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II.

Now a days people run to media for answers on current events and expect information to be accurate, but yet do the people know that almost all media news reports are bias. Often times people run to news channels that give out information they want to hear based off the media’s beliefs. The media has always been bias, but it wasn’t until certain events occurred that opened society’s eyes. There are six powerhouse news sources that all have their own type of bias which points out their own perspective on current events. When it comes to current events, different media platforms represent the story from different perspectives. Viewers want their views to be validated rather than challenged and don’t give ideas of what people should do. Although

What, not who, is to be blamed for 9/11? It’s very clear that the primary cause of 9/11 was the planes, hijacked by Al-Qaeda terrorists, crashing into the buildings. However, it’s also commonly known that the twin towers stood for a memorable a hundred and two minutes before crashing down from the view the manhattan skyline. So how were so many lives lost when there was so much time to escape the buildings? Many have searched for answers, and have come to conspiratorial conclusions, biased and without relatable evidence. However after reviewing the information on the attacks, one thesis stands above the rest of them; the lack of communication was responsible for the greatest loss of life. Though there are many other great points to be made

There is no doubt that this was one of the worst tragedies our country has ever experienced but many still question the truth behind it. From the discrepancies in the stories of the event, to the fault in the towers mechanics, it

Innocent lives were taken, four little girls and other countless blacks in the civil rights era and innocent lives in the collapse of the twin towers of 2011.

September 11, 2001 brought many different feelings that were new to Americans. Americans had not experienced something of this magnitude in their own country. Even to this day, America continues to resonate what took place in our culture and in politics. The magnitude is definitely shown throughout many songs, books, and television shows that were created and released immediately following 9/11 (Melnick, 64). They try to illustrate the on-going thoughts of what happened and the attitudes that have evolved due to this tragedy.

As blood trickled down the flight attendant’s neck, the screams of passengers echoed while hoping and praying that it was not their time to perish. A dark-skinned man headed towards the front of the plane, claiming the pilot as his next victim. As this occurred within the four other planes, hostages aboard knew they were living the last few moments of their life. Each tear and scream would ultimately be their last-their last breath taken as the plane crashed into a building of peace, dying with the thought of “I should have said goodbye,” as their lives were taken away in seconds by strangers. Thousands of innocent lives were lost, as well as the hearts of millions of others worldwide who felt the repercussion and heartbreak of these terrorist attacks. The Tuesday morning of September 11, 2001, swept worldwide panic and sorrow, naming itself the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil to date.

President Bush's first response was that it was a pilot error but shortly after when the second plane hit the other tower everyone knew that this wasn’t an accident anymore. Later the same night Bush had a speech where he talked about what happened earlier this day used the words terrorist and evil a lot when describing the hijackers later on he said that it will all be resolved which it was 10 years later when American forces invaded and killed Osama Bin

By all acounts, 9-11 remains the single most deadly attack ever on American soil, however terror attacks declined over the last twenty years.

Shadowing the 9/11 attacks on the world trade center, many different media outlets have reported the event in different perspective. In the articles chosen they both address the same issue with Al Qaeda however both with different approach.

When President Barrack Obama mentioned of the September 11th attack, for a moment the wounds left in the hearts of the Americans started bleeding again. There was nothing that could that could stop the bleeding other than one statement: “the perpetrator of the attack has been brought to justice”. On the night of 2nd May 2011, the Americans were woken up by the unusual speech delivered by the 44th president of the United States of America.
