The New 9/11 casualties 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. …show more content…
Those hazardous fumes cause there to be a thick black dust that lasted several minutes after the incident. The plane attack accumulated a lot of toxic dust in the air lasting months. The toxic dust was filled with debris, smoke, asbestos, diesel exhaust, pulverized cement, glass fibers, silica, benzene from the jet and lead. Clouds of dust rose above 1000 feet and “moved south above Brooklyn and Staten Island.” There were air samples taken and it tested to have high levels of asbestos. It was about 93,000 times higher than the normal amount of asbestos found in the air each and everyday.

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
At the point when 9/11 happened, I was an eighth grader in South Florida, and an amazingly naive nationalist. I observed with sickening apprehension as the second tower fell live on the TV in my show class. I needed activity! How set out the "scalawags" do such a marvel to my kindred Americans!
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 Thursday I asked a close family friend questions about important United States history events such as 9/11, Obama’s inauguration, Hurricane Katrina, the Recession, Pluto not being a planet anymore, and the fall of Facebook and Myspace. Many other US events were mentioned, but those five were the ones she remembered the most. Along with her opinions I also spoke or discussed my opinions about police brutality that’s currently happening and the current debates between who’s going to be the next president of the United States. We also spoke of which events were most important and impacted the US more than the other options. On that last topic we had different opinions on which were more beneficial. All of the historical events were beneficial and impacted the United States in some way and molded the actions of Americans in one way or another.

During the attack of 9/11 Arijana Barun was on a plane from Zürich to Chicago. Like the other passengers on her plane she was very frightened and scared when the intercom came on and the pilot said, “The plane will be turning around due to an unexpected event in America.” She did not find out what had happened until four hours later when the plane landed in Zürich national airport. Two police officers entered her plane and said, “There have been attacks in America on the twin towers and they are no longer standing.” Entering the airport there were many T.V.’s portraying the same video, twin towers collapsing one after another. Talking to the people around them Arijana Barun and the other passengers on her plane discovered there was not only
Law enforcement has the authority to listening in on any electronic communications with little overlooking. This means that they can get access to wiretaps, sneak and peek warrants among other provisions. The full name of the law is the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001”. So this act fights terrorism it also gives the federal government tools to deal with suspected terrorist activity. Since 9/11, all political leaders have sought new ways to address terrorism.
Citizens “When the Twin Towers collapsed, thousands of tons of toxic debris containing known carcinogens were released. Exposure to the chemicals led to illnesses among rescue and recovery workers.”(IBTIMES) -Mental Health Large epidemiological studies conducted by the Health Department’s WTC Health Registry suggest that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms are the most common health effect of 9/11.
