9/11 Compare And Contrast

A terrorist attack is one of the most frightening things that one can encounter. They are unpredictable, random, senseless, and devastating. One of the largest and most well known acts of terrorism was the attack on the twin towers on September 11, 2001.

The basic overview of it. What were the terrorists doing to get ready for the day, and what was their major purpose and intention.

On September 11th, a tragedy happened when almost 3500 people died from a terrorist attack. One thing that did not change after this was the way America held itself together. Something devastating had happened but they still managed to push through it and come out strong. As well, the support that American's and other places around the world gave each other are still strong today.

On September 11th, 2001, most people woke up, had a cup of coffee, and went to work not knowing that later that morning, a Boeing 747 hijacked by Mohammed Atta would crash into the north tower of the World Trade Center. As the people of New York stood in shock, they did not realize that the actions made by a very small group of people would change the world and send America into its next great war. In the years leading up to 9/11 there were many problems between Iraq and the United States. There were many warnings that came before 9/11,the first warning came in 1993 when a truck bomb was placed on the 6th floor of the World Trade Center.The second came on October 12, 2000 when two suicide bombers guided a boat full of explosives next to the

And in this house, my mother was going throughout her day as usual, which most likely involved laundry, dishes, and watching two children by the name of Alanna and Christopher, when she saw the news. “Is this really happening? This can’t be true! Was it an accident? Oh my god, both towers! What would ever make someone do that? This is terrible, why is it even happening in the first place? Why? Why?

Years ago, a trip to the airport was an enjoyment. You didn’t have worry about terrorism that much. In 9/11, the hijackers deliberately took control over the plane, leaving passengers panicking for their lives. Airlines and airplanes were ordered to shut down all over the United States. “Immediately after the attacks, domestic air flights were ceased immediately for various days, for terror of additional attacks” (9/11 Effects in the USA, Soong). After 9/11, people were still petrified to even travel. Since then, the airline industry has modified it’s rules and regulations from then. They were more rigorous to what items are and aren’t allowed aboard; items had to come in traveling sizes to even permit in the plane. In a ripple effect, it was like the whole economy of the United States and the universe was frozen in place.

After a tragedy like 9/11, I am sure that many people were scared to death and would not want to leave their houses to go outside. Many had already died, some were in hiding and the rest were missing. No one was ever going to leave their homes to go to a football game, no matter, how badly they wanted to before. Litsay & Williams (2001) believe that the reason the sporting events were postponed or cancelled was because N.F.L commissioner Pete Rozelle made a mistake of playing weekend games after President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, and they did not want to make the same mistake he did (para. 6). They continued by saying, “N.F.L. officials are still sensitive about the action 38 years later. Rozelle said years later that his decision to continue play had been the worst mistake of his career. ” (Litsay & Williams, 2001, para.7).

The group interviews had to been instructed differently than the surveys because the topic of the September 11th attacks can be extremely sensitive. On page 443 it says, “evidence suggests that when discussing controversial issues, respondents tend to be the most honest with interviewers who old insider status, especially when the controversial issue is related to the status”. This seemed to make the students more comfortable, but in a survey all that you have to do is ask the questions that are a lot easier and straight forward.

In the daytime the population, location, and sheer size of the towers had a lot of people that made it an obvious choice for a terrorist attack. In fact, in 1993, there was an attack under the World Trade Center in which there was a car that had explosives in it and it did kill about 6 people and injuring over thousands. That didn’t kill as many people as the 911 even though that
