9/11 Research Paper

On September 11, 2001 four passenger commercial jet airliners were hijacked and as a result approximately 3,000 human lives were lost. When asked about 9/11, many can recall exactly what they were doing when they heard the news that a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings and many Americans can tell you how it all unfolded and the reason behind such a travesty. The “official story” provided by officials, and restated by Sofia Shafquat, producer of “9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions” say that “four passenger planes were hijacked and taken radically off course, within an hour, two of the planes had flown into the enormous steel towers of the World Trade Center, creating fires and eventually toppling them” (Shafquat).

The topic of the interview used for the interview was 9/11. 9/11 was used because 9/11 was a big point in American History and it is always an interesting to get peoples opinions about 9/11 because there are so many different stories that people have about what they experienced that day. The interviewee was Carolyn Alexander and she was interviewed because even though she lived on the west coast when 9/11 happened, she was still impacted in multiple ways. Carolyn was impacted because she was just as surprised as everybody else when she found out about 9/11.

So It was a sad moment for the people that lost their lives that day the day of September 9,2001 or a shorter word 9/11. The people that hit the two Twin Towers and the Pentagon and one was going for the White House but there was a fight in the plane that was going to the White House. But the plane was crashing in a field at Pennsylvania. So, every year at 9/11 they will have a memory for the people that died that day from the two Twin Towers. So, if you will try to go too see the twin towers they are not there because of the 9/11 they did not try to rebuild it so they just put water in the outside and there is trees too. So if you try to go there in the night you will see the light in the middle where it was.

September 11, 2001 was a milestone in the history of the United States, which experienced a collective shock and trauma that has never been forgotten. In the United States most of all, the entire airline and tourist industry was driven to the edge of bankruptcy and would not have survived at all without a major bailout by the federal government. It was already in poor condition for many years after deregulation in 1978, the September 11th attacks were a Near Death Experience. After that time, the airlines decided that they could never permit another attack like this or they would be driven out of business. As it was, their stock prices collapsed and passenger schedules did not return to pre-September 11th levels for four years. All previous security plans were judged to be useless and inadequate, and were taken out of the hands of private security contractors and turned over to the federal government. New and more restrictive laws like the Patriot Act came into being, and the U.S. launched an all-out war on Al Qaeda that has continued for eleven long years.

This is one of the quotes that show how 9/11 was controlled, and not just based off of plane crashes. People around the United States believe the government had something to do with 9/11. 9/11 contained explosions that were kept a secret by the government. History of 9/11

Nearly three thousand people lost their lives due to this horrible tragedy. That evening, President George W. Bush stood unflinching as he condemned these acts of terror and reminded us all that “America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time” (CNN). Within the next few days, Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda were accused of orchestrating these acts of ‘terror’. Fast forward twelve years to a poll sponsored by ReThink911 where they found that ten percent of Americans do not believe the official government account of September 11th, and thirty-eight percent doubt the American governments official 9/11 story (ReThink911.org). This begs to wonder why so many Americans do not trust what the government has told them. What reasons would the United States government have for lying about September 11th 2001? The connection between the Bush’s and Bin Laden’s, the actions of Donald Rumsfeld, misinformation in the official 9/11 report from the U.S. Government, and a history of the United States utilizing false flag operation’s to justify entering a war are some of the reasons Americans questions the official record of September

9-11 was one of our horrible events that happened in our history. Nearly 3,000 innocent people were killed. There are many theories\opinions about 9-11, more particularly, the terrorists. The terrorists claimed to be ‘muslims’. Some people, like me, didn’t believe them, yet some people unfortunately did.

Many Americans believe that national security only concerns the safety of the white, middle to upper class family. National security should also involve the poor and people of color. Yes, white people have hidden under the blanket of national security since 9/11 due to laws and organizations; such as the Homeland Security Act, which started surveillance of Americans, mostly Arab Americans. American citizens threaten and even kill Middle Eastern- Americans everyday for a crime they did not commit.

September 11, 2001 will be remembered as one of the most horrible and unbelievable days ever experienced in the United States. It was a great Tuesday morning in New York and people were doing their normal routines. There were two World Trade Centers in New York that people worked in. They were all doing their regular jobs as every day but their ordinary day became something they had never expected. Out of nowhere in the sky came a jet and it headed directly for the North Tower.

Individuals who use terror techniques as a way to intimidate U.S. citizens about the justice of war may be terrorist themselves. Many terrorist weather apart of a larger organization or acting as a lonewolf are intent on attacking liberalism because they view it as a rival doctrine. I wonder then should leveralism be constrained in responding to such attacks as September 11, 2001. In the aftermath of the worst attack on U.S soil since Pearl Harbor, many Americans of my generation have held the view that this attack has changed our world forever. I believe that this is certainly true for local and state police agencies and their chiefs. It has become increasingly clear that several federal agencies, such as the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI,

Based on this week's reading and lesson notes, evaluate the arguments and evidence that terrorist groups are likely or unlikely to use CBRN weapon. In particular, what do you think are the prospects for al Qaeda and/or other sub-state actors to acquire and use a CBRN weapon in a foreign country? In the United States? Why or why not?

When the US was warned about the possibility of a terrorist attack on US soil, why was the threat not taken seriously? Some of the lower grade official (CIA), took the threat to be very seriously, but were told to dismiss the warnings, by top their superiors. September 10, 2001, a number of the Pentagon’s top brass suddenly cancel travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns. The airlines security system was not up graded to possible terrorists attack alert.

Where security is increased, there are delays that cause problems in other areas. With the additional delays at airports, more travelers choose to travel by automobile. Four hundred additional fatalities have occurred each year on U.S. highways since 9/11 because of increased security at the airpo1rts (Mueller 2010).

Opening Paragraph, Thesis Statement: As the U.S is faced with the threat of terrorism, all branches of the government must contribute in order to ensure the safety of all American citizens; President Obama has a set of standards and procedures for handling terrorist threats, the Legislative Branch has agreed to these policies and addition, created an insurance program to protect those affected by terrorism, and the Supreme Court has heard cases in order to ensure the President’s standards are upheld and procedures are followed.

WHOOSH! Flames of fire ring out from everywhere. Many citizens are confused about what just happened, but then they start to realize that planes just hit the Twin Towers. Later they realize that nine-eleven was just created. Nine-eleven was a terrible thing that happened to the U.S because many things happened and many people were affected by the actions of which created it. There are so many problems in the world and nine-eleven was one of the worst ones because there were many casualties, horrible attackers, and it was such a mess!
