9-9/11: A Case Study

As a Native New Yorker having witnessed the 911 tragedy, the day after appeared to be the downfall of ARC reputation. Not only did they not respond as quickly to the pentagon tragedy, ARC disaster relief fund had also appeared limited. There was a Liberty Fund set up by the ARC, which raised approximately $543 million in pledge money (Ferrell, Fraedrich & Ferrell, 2015). According to Ferrell, Fraedrich and Ferrell (2015) text, only a third of the Liberty Fund relief monies was distributed to the victims and families of 9/11/01 tragedy. This created an ethical uproar as donors believed all funds received would go entirely towards the relief for victims and family of 911 (Ferrell, Fraedrich & Ferrell, 2015).

The morning was like every other, people woke up got ready for work, sent their kids to school and some were even still sleeping in bed. The news was on giving updates on the weather, famous people, and even regular TV shows were going. 92 people were boarded and taking off on the American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767 around 7:59 am September 11, 2001. Everything seemed normal nothing to worry about, but then everything changed and almost at the same time too. Flipping through the channels you could see it on every channel. A tragedy was happening, a plane had crashed into one of the trade center towers.

The reporter stated the children told their father they don’t know the last time they took a bath and whenever she bathed them the bath water was completely dirty. The reporter stated the children are underweight even though their mother receives food stamps. According to the reporter, all three children had sores around their mouths, in their heads, on their backs and buttocks, and on their arms and legs. Ms. Ballard stated she called to ask Brittany it was. The reporter stated Ms. Smith told her she did not know and had not seen anything on the children. Ms. Ballard stated she and the children’s father took them to be seen at a hospital on 07/05/15 and the children were diagnosed with Infantago. The reporter stated she later called Ms. Smith back to ask her for the boy’s insurance card in order to take them to see a doctor and pick up their prescriptions but she refused and did not give it to Mr.

Two weeks ago, Mr. Knight was contacted by law enforcement with suspicions that Will stole someone’s gun and sold it. According to the reporter, the child’s father made contact with him to tell him he’d been evicted from his home and did not know where Will was. The reporter stated Mr. Knight is a truck driver and has been living in his truck; Will was left with his grandmother after they were evicted. Ms. Jordan and Will got into an argument and the child ran away from her home and the family has not been able to find the child before 08/06/15. Per the reporter, the child was found at school; it’s unknown who registered the child. Mr. Knight stated on 08/06/15, he picked the child up from school to question him about the stolen gun. The reporter

MCO called into dispatch claiming she had a 9-2 then called back stating she made a mistake she meant to say 9-11.

One single person caused this entire tragedy. The approach he took to carry out the massacre has never been seen before; however, that does not mean it can not be seen again. This situation could have never been imagined, just as 16 years ago 9/11 could not have been imagined. While there are far less deaths than 9/11, this is still the largest mass shooting in U.S. history. The U.S. responded with change following 9/11. Should the nation respond with change now? Is there anymore action the government can

1) I think the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon affected both short and long term productivity in the U.S.It affected short-term travel the day of and weeks to follow the attack.Increased security and delayed/canceled flights were in high volume for weeks after.This caused a decrease in productivity because less planes were allowed in the air and business was done less efficiently.This affect has carried over in to the long term as well.Travel is still slowed down due to heavier security screenings and more laborers are required to ensure the safety of travellers.

This weeks article was titled, “A History of The 9/11 Attacks” The main idea of the article is that on 9/11/01 there was a terrorist attack. Two Planes crashed into the twin towers and killed 3,000 people. The 19 attackers were here months before september 11th. They smuggled box cutters and knives into the three coast airports. Planes crashed into New York buildings, American airlines flight 77 went around Washington DC and slammed into the west side of the Pentagon military headquarters. 125 people were killed in the pentagon, along with 64 aboard the airliner. Three thousand people died in the world trade center, including 343 firefighters and paramedics, 23 New York police officers, 37 port authority officers. Only 6 people in the

Suena was walking home and she felt like she was being followed, but she thought it was because of the horror movie she watched the night before. It was about a twenty minute walk for Surena to get home and she often enjoyed but that day she didn’t enjoy it. When she got home there was a note on her fridge from her mother saying she’ll be back in a couple of hours and that there was leftovers in the fridge. She still had that icky feeling that someone was watching her, she kept saying in her head that it was just the horror movie scaring her. Her dog Belle was eating the couch again, when her mom got home she’d be mad. Surena went up stairs to her bedroom and forgot to lock the door that day, when her mother warned her many times before to

September 11, 2001, millions of New Yorkers and American citizens woke up and started their day, unprepared and unaware for the catastrophic attack that would be taking place in just a few short hours. At 8:46 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower. The impact killed all of the passengers and crew as well as hundreds inside the building. At 9:03 a.m., a second plane, Flight 175, crashed into the corner of the South Tower killing passenger, crew, and workers who worked on floors seventy-five to eighty-three. Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. killing approximately 185 individuals (History.com Staff). Because of the damaged to the support system, fires, and impact at extremely fast speed, the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. (Lipton and Glanz). Having heard about the acts of terrorism that had just taken place in New York and Washington, D.C., a group of passengers drove their plane, Flight 93, into a Pennsylvania field killing everyone on board but possibly saving hundreds of other lives in the process. The North Tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m. 102 minutes after being struck (History.com Staff). On September 11, 2001, almost twelve hundred people were wounded or killed by “coordinated suicide attempts” by Al Qaeda terrorists. In result to the four airplanes being hijacked and used for premediated reasons, the United States government instituted new regulations for entering the country and airport security as well as expounded on systems already in place.

The first tower to collapse from the 9/11 attack was the South Tower. 15 minutes after the attack Apollo was the first to arrive. Apollo would be at the scene working several weeks, 18 hours a day. He would be assisting the injured victims and searching for any possible human remains. While doing his job there was one point where he was almost killed by falling rubble and fire. Every day he was given baths to wash off the dangerous contaminants at the scene. While he was there he loved to search, he had so much energy and was very enthusiastic. While he was doing his job there was one point where he was almost killed by falling rubble and fire from one of the towers. When Apollo was working at the scene he provided other workers with moral support and comfort. After all of Apollo’s hard work and effort he put into searching he earned

In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, there were an array of confusion, anger, anxiety, fear, and hatred. Police officers and firefighters who responded to the events of 9/11 experienced delayed emotional reactions so they can accomplish their tasks. These first responders develop an ability to contain their emotions so they can deal with it later (Sauter & Carafano, 2012). Video images of two hijacked U.S. commercial airliners plowing into the twin towers were continuously replayed for days on local and national news outlets. The United States was put on the highest state of alert and all federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies around the U.S. responded to the crisis. Many innocent lives were taken from the 9/11 incident

The transportation sector has seen its share of terrorist activity over the years. Aircraft are under constant threat of an explosion or hijacking, and vehicles are used to transport and detonate bombs. Bombs are popular among terrorist cells, due to the amount of destruction they can cause; some are small as witness years ago with the Underwear Bomber, and some are much larger as seen with the Oklahoma City bombing. Over the years, different resources have been developed to aid with mitigating risk and help with the recovery process. One item that has been developed and tested by Mistral Security and is currently being used by police bomb squads, and the military is the explosive containment vessels. These vessels come in various sizes

According to the text (Gesell and Dempsey, 2011), the airport and airplane security architecture and protocol remains fundamentally the same, albeit beefed-up, both pre- and post-9/11. The preponderance of the regulatory and statutory changes from the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) to the Transportation Security Regulations (TSRs) were for the most part a renumbering and relocation exercise. However, there were changes to processes and procedures as well as transfer of responsibility from airport and airlines to the federal government’s Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) with the passage of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) in 2001.

There had been much controversy after the 9/11 attacks. People knew we were attacked but clueless to all the details. I’m at odds with the whole 9/11 attack. Financial intelligence efforts have had little externally discernible impact on reducing levels of terrorism or on criminal convictions (Levi, 2010). I have many unanswered questions throughout my research. The following information is what I found for this topic of countering finances of terrorism.
