9/11 Informational Essay

September 11th 2001 there was a surprise attack on the United States by terrorists. The terrorists allegedly hijacked four airplanes. One was meant for the White House, one was meant for the Pentagon and the other two were meant for the twin tower which fell and many lives were lost. However some say it was not terrorists and that it was the United States government and that the government set a bomb and that they had several motives to do this.

I think it's sad that someone would have to be scared to dial 911 after being involved of an incident because they might lose their home. The sad thing with some cases is that most of the time the victims are not crying wolf; something happened to them where they felt in danger and need to call 911. I was shocked when I read that even after she was airlifted to the hospital, her landlord still said unfortunately you need to move out. She was getting punished for something she could not control. At first, I thought that she should put limits on people that make false alarm calls, but as I thought about it more, what if you only get three 911 calls and on the fourth call you actually need help. Someone's safety should never have limit or punishment

Did you know, that one person escaped the tower with seconds to spare? A man named Ron DiFrancesco was trying to escape from the South tower, after the North Tower had been attacked, when the second hijacked plane hit between floor 77 and floor 85 of the South Tower. The explosion threw him against the wall, but, however, he was able to carry on to the ground floor from floor 81 in the same time the building was standing after the attack, and then it had collapsed behind him as he was escaping from the building. The attacks on September 11, 2001 had many important effects such as a change in immigrations laws, starting wars, and changed airport rules.

On September 11, a plane crashed into The World Trade Center, demolishing both buildings. Many people were affected by this tragedy, some even were diagnosed with cancer from trying to clean up ground zero. There are speculations that the people who did have health issues were the ones not wearing the respirators, and many died because of not protecting themselves from the dangerous fumes. Some did not realize that, it could be the last day they might see their families and rushed out without saying goodbyes for the last time. There was little help provided to the sick workers. The lawyers of the workers treat them more as heros then the people who employed them to help clean up after the World Trade Center attack. There were many rising concerns given after the attack and a vast majority of people wish those concerns would be addressed.

Out of the entire World Trade Center complex WTC 7 is the furthest away, but somehow still manages to collapse. More than 8 hours after the initial attack, at 5:21 p.m., WTC 7 collapsed in 6.5 seconds. This building was also a steel framed building and was not even struck by a plane but mysteriously falls. There is absolutely no reason for this building to fall unless except it was planned. After the buildings collapsed a scientist found traces of thermite, and explosive compound and also Thermate, which is a patented brand of thermite used in the demolition industry! WTC 7 collapsed the same way a building in a controlled demolition would collapse. It gives out in the middle causing it to collapse on itself and not letting it fall onto other buildings. A controlled demolition would also explain the seismic evidence recorded close of two small earthquakes just before the towers collapse. The only valid explanation as to how 3 steel towers could collapse, and one being unstruck is that it was a controlled demolition and the government used explosives to destroy the

You’re a fireman ready at any moment for the walls to collapse, you don’t know when but what matters is the 2 men you are carrying on your back to safety. You have lost all communication but know that you are in a life and death situation, you think of your family and all the people who are counting on you to stay alive.

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.

There was also a memorial set up to honor the people who were killed in the attack in 2001, and the bombing that took place in

Not all of the United States’ economic weakness was caused by the 9/11 terrorist attacks but, it was greatly accelerated by the United States’ response to it (hÉochaidh). After the 9/11 attacks happened, the United States had to spend millions of dollars repairing buildings that were destroyed during the attacks and changing policies to better protect the people of the United States. The 9/11 attacks impacted the United States’ economy by causing the United States to repair buildings that were damaged by the hijacked planes, go to war in an attempt to dismantle al-Qaeda, and improve their security policies to better protect the people of the United States.

The United State is still recovering from the 9/11 attacks and more costs are yet to

On Monday September 11th I went to Springfield Plaza at around 4:30 p.m. I went inside of the popeyes that is inbetween the music and arts store and Duron Paints & Wallcoverings store. I went there because I know that popeyes on weekdays is usually always filled with people at the time because a lot of people get off of work at around this time. I also was hungry after school so I went there to eat at the same time as i’m studying groups of people. I decided to sit around the front of the store because i’m at the edge and can see all the other tables in front of me. I also could go to the other end of the table that I am sitting on to see outside the windows and see the people walking outside. When looking out the window I witnessed a lot of cars pass by with the American flags on them, to commemorate the victims of 9/11.
