“I Don’t want to be burned alive”: A Doctors Account of the U.S Airstrike that destroyed MSF Hospital in Afghanistan was really a shocking story. On October 3rd the United States sent an air strike to a Centre in Afghanistan. The blast from the airstrike shook the building and the ceiling collapsed. All the lights were turned off and everything was pitch black. Dr. Evangeline Cua was on duty, she said “We were like two headless chickens running into darkness” after the ceiling crashed down. After the tragedy she was working around the clock trying to save the lives of those who were caught on the cross fire. She said “There were women with blood splattered shalwar kameez, one of them pregnant, another staring lankly at the ceiling; men with …show more content…
MFS gives emergency aid to people who are affected by armed conflict, epidemics, and natural disasters. The air strike was an awful incident and the Unites States is responsible for all the lives that were lost. Supposedly, the AC-130 gunship confused the hospital with a building where Taliban forces were believed to be hiding. United States called it an “avoidable mistake” but they never responded to the signal the MSF sent. This situation was so messed up because the hospital was protected under the International Humanitarian Law. This could have been eliminated if General John Campell and the army responded to the signal that informed them that the facility was under aerial …show more content…
During the beginning of April there was a big protest going on about violence against women. A survey from the Bangladeshi government show that 87 percent of women in a marriage experience violence. In the article Global voices spoke with the founder of Meye. Global voices asked about the rickshaw paintings event, Trisha Nashtaran says “None of us have forgotten the sexual assaults carried out against women on Pahela Baishakh last year” which is Bangala new years’ celebration. Gobal voices also questioned why did she chose rickshaw painting to present woman against violence. Trisha believes that rickshaws are an integral component of her city and the colorful images on the rickshaws reflect the social issues of her time. She hopes that one day her events become a tradition because the rickshaws show a great message for women who go through abuse. Trisha wants rickshaws to lead for a better tomorrow and wants many beautiful rickshaws done by brilliant painters. Many organizations are planning to spread their protest using her
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
Did you know that almost 3,000 people died on 9/11? People hijacked four planes and crashed them into the Pentagon, both World Trade Center buildings and into a field in Pennsylvania. 9/11 was a historical event because of what happened before, during and after.
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.
Many people believe that the story behind 9/11 isn't necessarily true, they actually think that the owner of the twin towers planned the whole thing. At first glance it may seem like it was a terrorist attack. This initial perception fails to take in the account of the benefits the owner will receive. If people continue to believe that 9/11 was a terrorist attack, the owner of the twin towers also known as Larry Silverstein will get away causing one of America's greatest tragedies. The owner of the Twin Towers planned the 9/11 terrorists attack to get money because of the insurance claim, he missed work, and right before became a new owner.
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.
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!
This week we mark the 14th anniversary of one of the worst days in American history -- the day we have come to know by two numbers: 9/11.
9/11 was of the biggest “terrorist attack” in the United States History. Many building was destroyed in this single day. The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the pentagon, and crash in field near Shanksville in western Pennsylvania. The day of 9/11 was a conspiracy.
September 11 ,2000 it was a Tuesday morning were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist. Around 8:14 am the longest war began with the hijacking of American Airlines Flight 11. That morning there was plenty of audio recordings recorded on all flights or even other civilians on board. At the Federal Aviation Administration Command Center they a inform of a stabbing on board the aircraft. The terrorist were about 100 miles away from their target. Mohamed Atta made sure his flight were safe. The Northeast Air Defense Sector, they were preparing for a military exercise, code name vigilant guardian. The hijack of American 11 escalated rapidly. Noticed that the aircraft turned South and much faster. The military personal did
At least 31 were killed in twin bombings which targeted a popular ice cream parlor in Baghdad, Iraq and another area in downtown on May 30, according to Iraqi officials.
One factor that contributed to the September 11 attacks is the long history of unrest between America and the Middle East. The USS Cole Bombings were basically just a warm up for Al-Qaeda to see how much they could do to the US. On October 2nd, 2000, in a port off of Yemen, suicide bombers boarded the USS Cole and blew a hole in the hull. The bombers killed 17 men. When the United States pulled from Lebanon in 1983 and their withdraw from Somalia in 1993 shocked the world but Bin Laden saw the attack and retreats in a totally different light. According to “The National Interest” Bin Laden said America was a “paper tiger” (24). He meant that as a country we look very strong and tough, but when the actual fighting starts, we will fall within a few attacks and be defeated.
In response to the September 11 attacks, the United States should declare war on the responsible group. As a nation, we should do only the actions that bring about the best consequences, and the best consequences would occur by bringing the responsible group to justice. In this case, killing the Taliban and its supporters is the right action because it produces the greatest amount of good.
September 11, 2001 is a day that will forever be remembered by all Americans; it was the day in which 2,823 people were killed due to the terrorist attacks performed by the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. Up to this day there are many people who do not know all the facts about this day and do not even know the number of plane crashes that occurred due to Al-Qaeda’s terrorist plans. Al-Qaeda is a terrorist organization that was started by Osama Bin Laden. This terrorist group is a racist organization whose philosophy is described as centralization of decision and decentralization of execution. This group has admitted they are responsible for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. They stated that the United States was actively oppressing and
The Marines had been sent to Lebanon as peace-keepers, trying to bring some peace to a civil war that was ongoing in Lebanon. Military observers subsequent to that horrific event have suggested that this terrorist assault was the beginning of the reign of terror that radical Islamic would continue to perpetrate on Americans through the next twenty years.
The War in Afghanistan has been an all consuming conflict for the US government since we started to launch air strikes on October 7, 2001. This is a conflict that’s been brewing since before the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. This war has the continuation of past conflicts in it, conflicts that can be connected a good deal to the interference of other large powers, such as the USSR. From keeping an eye on the oil reserves, pressuring Iran, and keeping Pakistan stable, our interests and motives for occupying Afghanistan are undeniably laced with many ulterior motives, providing us with the issue of unfavorable opinion and our interests being the source of terrorist attacks. Afghanistan is a country that has been plagued with
