9/11 Lessons Learned

September 11, 2001 was not just any ordinary day for the citizens of the United States and the city of New York, but a devastating attack that has put us all in shock and fear. As all of you know, the Tuesday that this country was ambushed and attacked destructively by terrorists, was one of the saddest days America has ever seen. Not only did it affect the people that were in the World Trade Center Towers and the loved ones who unfortunately passed away, but it affected our country as a whole. Scared, devastated, astonished, and surprised are just a few words that begin to describe September 11th. As separate states and people, I can confidently say that America has never been closer together as one than on that

September 11, 2001 was a very tragic day but at the same time a very heart shaping experience. The men and women who ran into burning building trying to help the helpless had great courage and personal honor. Every person that had been hurt or killed during this horrific ordeal were rescued and treated as needed. The fallen rescuers did not even think of their own lives, just the people who needed the help. The personal honor that drives a man to search for up to 18 hours straight, looking for any sign of life, honors those lost, and honors his country.

On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together. We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood. We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country. On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.

On September 11, 2001 is a very known and sad date for every american. On this day four different terrorist planes hit the largest buildings, the twin towers were 50,000 people work. When this happened everybody had to not become selfish and needed to help one another. After this took place many people died and were

9.11.01 was a horrifying day for the people of America, as well as many others from across the globe. It has been 14 years since that day and people will still be remembering this day forever. People will never forget 9.11, where two planes that were hijacked by Islamic people sent by Osama Bin Laden and flown into the twin towers, and another plane that had hit the pentagon. I think of this day as the saddest day that America had ever had.

On September 11, 2001, the terror attacks that struck upon the American people etched a wound so deep that will take years to repair. The whole world watched and mourned as 2,977 innocent lives were taken mercilessly away by the clutches of vile people. The group responsible for these attacks had malicious intent and animosity toward the people of the free world. They took their accumulated hatred and attacked the American people. The way the American people responded was not what the terrorist group had expected.Instead of cowering in fear from the attacks as presumed, the American people began to display more patriotism and exhibit a sense of unity. While 9/11 is a day we remember the innocent lives lost to terrorism and the new sense of togetherness it founded, it is also a day that birth the term Islamophobia and gave rise to mistaken-identity hate crimes.

One of the most known and worst events occurred on September 11, 2001. Terror attacks occurred in the United States of America in the cities of Washington D.C. and New York City. An Al-Qaeda terrorist group organized this attack by sending terrorists on four different airplanes to crash into the World Trade Center in New York City, and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center, while another one was targeted for the Pentagon. Although one plane hit the Pentagon, the other went off course and crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The plane that crashed into a field in Pennsylvania was supposed to either hit the White House or the Capital building. Over 3,000 people died and this day in

Most Americans remember the hardship from the events that took place on September 11, 2001. It was a very hard time for many families; loved ones were passing or saying their last words over the phone. It was hard on more than just those people though. Through it, all heroes stepped-up and terrorists were overcome. Damage was done, but memorials were built to remember the good, not the bad. September 11, 2001, is a day that terrorists tried to bring America to its knees; however, heroes arose to act as true patriots to save hundreds of lives including Flight 93 and the Pentagon.

As you reflect upon September 11 I pray that you think about how gracious and merciful our God has been to us. Thank him for those who were willing to sacrifice their lives that day. Pray that his loving embrace will be with those whose loved ones paid the ultimate sacrifice. May their sacrifice never be

“On September 11th I was at work. Everyone was eating breakfast, when they turned on the television we saw the explosions, all those dead people, we were shocked… The first thing I thought of was their families, how would they feel knowing their mom, dad, daughter, son, brother, sister, etc. wasn’t going to come back home? I felt really sad about all those people that died. My thoughts now on the 15th anniversary are the sadness all these years of the people who lost a family member also the respect we have for them.”

By reading “The day the world came to town by Jim Defede”, I learned a lot about the history of 9/11. The most interesting thing I learned was that the 9/11 affected Airport Security and that all of the U.S airports were closed. Not only that, I have also learned how it affected the people who were coming to the U.S. According to the text, a man talks about the reasons why 9/11 was historic for Gander, “One of them was that the airspace over the United States was shut down and every plane in the sky was ordered land immediately at the nearest airport” (5). I never really thought about the people who were on planes during 9/11. The pilots did have a lot trouble when they found out they had to land somewhere else. I have also learned that

While we watched the 9/11 video I learned many shocking and interesting things I didn't know in previous years. One of those things is that there was another attack on the World Trade Center. I had no clue that the US might have had some sort of clue and still didn't take any more precautions. If the US had taken more security measures in airlines. Another thing that I learned in the video that I learned is that Bin Laden's hate toward America was born when Saudi Arabia’s government chose the American army over his “Holy Warriors” to protect them. During the Afghan war Bin Laden fought against Russia and was a part of a group called the “Holy Warriors”. Another thing that I learned was that the process to join Al-Qaeda was very technical. Bin Laden made all of the extremist recruits to sign a contract. I learned so much for the movie, one of those being every one of the hijackers made it through security checkpoints quite easily. It astonished me that all of them made it through security I thought that at least one of them had some trouble. The last thing I learned was that it took a little while for the towers to collapse. I thought the plane hit it and then immediately the towers collapsed but it took around 15 minutes for them to finally fall.

9/11 was an awful tragedy, the likes of which I hope to never see. Some powerful and moving stories came out of this awful event, tales of heroism, companionship, and the endurance of the human spirit, alongside showing the horrifying pain and anguish human beings inflict on each other despite the inherent coterie of the human

“We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember” - George W. Bush. September 11, 2001 was a devastating day for everyone. Many families lost a dad, mom, husband, and/or wife. The whole country was in tears. But even in this time of heartache many people came together to help one another.

Do you ever have one of those moments in your life in which you will never forget where you were? I remember waking up early on September 11, 2001, getting ready for school and my dad telling me hurry up to watch the news with him. Being in 8th grade at the time, the news really wasn’t something I would watch in the mornings so I knew it had to be something important. Then I saw it. An airplane crashing into a tower, people panicking, and mayhem ensuing in a city very well known to me. When any tragic event like 9/11 occurs, the effect it will have on a nation is tremendous. It left America in shock, anger, and sadness just to name a few adjectives to describe the insurmountable amount of feelings that we felt on that day.
