9 / 11 : The Causes And Effects Of September 11

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. During the attack close to 3,000 people were killed (September 11) and the nation of America was left in complete and utter fear. The laws and regulations passed as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have been helpful to American society because of new safety precautions, assurance that nothing of that magnitude would ever occur again, and an overall increase of safety for American citizens.

The 9/11 terror attacks is one of the historical and fatal events that changed the United States of America forever, especially in relation to terrorists and terrorism. While these concepts were on the minds of very few people in America's population before the attacks, the 9/11 incident made terrorism to become one of the major concerns for the whole nation. This is despite of the fact that they were carried out in New York City, Washington, and parts of Pennsylvania. Since it was a major concern, the terror attacks dominated all kinds of media and contributed to increased security measures for average Americans. Moreover, terrorism currently provides a major threat to global security that any time in American and global history (Dyson, 2001, p.3). As a result, it has become a fundamental aspect for law enforcement agencies and their initiatives, particularly with the rapid technological advancements.

This should effect a lot of people because

The September 11th attacks became a turning point in the evolution of security systems and models in the United States. These horrific events also challenged the security status quo around the globe. The current evidence suggests that the level of planning in the September 11th attacks was truly unprecedented. The complexity of the activities, systems, resources, and decisions involved eventually translated into a terrorist attack of enormous scope and magnitude. The September 11th acts of terrorism set the stage for reconsidering the effectiveness of all airport security methodologies and techniques. The concern continues to be whether or not the continued improvements that are needed to ensure that the measures implemented to boost airport security do not violate the rights of passengers.

The shocking actions of September 11, commanded an awakening of the average American from the false sense of security, trusting that the United States is untouchable from chaos and destruction imposed upon by foreign enemies. It was on a Tuesday morning at 8:46 a.m., the skies were flawlessly clear and sunny with calm waters surrounding Manhattan. An American Airliner, a Boeing 747 flight 11, carrying 76 passengers had departed from Boston heading to California crashed into Tower 1 known as the North Tower. Tower 2, also known as the South Tower

September 11, 2001 was just another normal day in New York. Four planes were hijacked by members of Al-Qaeda who had targeted the United States. That morning one plane had struck the North tower of the World Trade center, another struck the South tower of the World Trade Center. The third plane crashed into the pentagon, and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. The 9/11 terrorist attacks caused many deaths and injuries. There was a total of 2,996 people that died in cause of the 9 11 attacks most of which were in the Twin Towers.

September 11th, 2001- a day that will always be remembered in United States history. To this day, 9-11 marks the largest international terrorist attack that has ever been performed in the United States. 2,977 people total were killed in result of the terrorist attack, and left millions of Americans in grief, shock, and mortification (Martino).Fear became embedded in American’s hearts, and racial profiling against Arabs grew rampant.

On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists hijacked four commercial airplanes. American Airlines Flight 11, going to Los Angeles from Boston, crashed into into the North tower of the World Trade Center. 17 minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175, also going from Boston to Los Angeles, crashed into the South tower. This was the largest terrorist attack to ever take place in America, killing around 3,000 people.

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that caused the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans, President George W. Bush passed a series of laws and regulations to help better protect Americans from future terrorist attacks. More than 130 pieces of legislation related to the 9/11 attacks were introduced the year after the attacks, with 48 bills and resolutions approved or signed into law. Three pieces of legislation that were passed that stood out to me most were the USA Patriot Act (2001), The Homeland Security Act (2002), and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (2004). These three really made a significant impact on preventing terrorist attacks in the future and being more prepared for these situations by giving the federal government and law enforcement agencies more power and access to tools that were previously forbidden for their use. Although many people may argue that these laws and regulations have had a negative impact on American society, the positive changes that have occurred outweigh the negative.

On the morning of September 11th, 2001, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks by way of four hijacked airliners was conducted by members of the Islamic terrorist group al-Qa’ida, resulting in the loss of over 3,000 American lives. In the wake of the attacks, many issues were identified within the Intelligence Community (IC), namely that intelligence information had not been shared between agencies or with local law enforcement apparatuses in order to piece together the looming threat. The 9/11 Commission, created in the aftermath of the attacks to piece together a complete account of the circumstances that led up to the tragedy, soon discovered that law enforcement officials in Maryland had issued a traffic citation two days before the attacks to Lebanese-born Ziad Samir Jarrah, an individual who had been placed on the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) watch list, and who would later become known as the pilot hijacker of United flight 93. To the Commission, this was a gross miscommunication that had resulted in missed opportunities to apprehend the terrorists. Had law enforcement officials been able to have access to this vital information, Jarrah might have been apprehended before committing his crime. Other discoveries revealed the bold moves of the perpetrators of the attack, who had not hidden their identities nor made any attempt to mask their disinterest in learning to land commercial aircraft; they further communicated openly by way of the Internet.

September 11,2001 was the day the world was put on hold. This was the most pivotal day in world history.

Tuesday morning, an American Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. 19 terrorists easily smuggled box-cutters and knives through security at three East Coast airports and boarded four early-morning flights bound for California, chosen because the planes were loaded with fuel for the long transcontinental journey. As millions watched the events unfolding in New York, American Airlines Flight 77 circled over downtown Washington, D.C., before crashing into the west side of the Pentagon military headquarters at 9:45 a.m.
