Fourteen years has passed since that fateful attack on the United States where multiple terrorist commandeered commercial aircrafts and crashed them into the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon. Mohammed Atta and his accomplices hijacked American Airlines Flight 11, crashing the aircraft into the North Tower whilst a few minutes later, their associate, Marwan al Shehhi and other accomplices crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower. Both of these individuals obtained and received their pilot’s licenses at Huffman Aviation in Florida by training on large jet flight simulators. A fellow terrorist, Ziad Jarrah, who crashed United Airlines Flight 93 before his intended target, believed to be The White House, also acquired his pilot training at Florida. However, Hani Hanjour, the terrorist who commandeered American Airlines Flight 77 and crashed into the Pentagon, obtained his licenses at Arizona …show more content…
Although these individuals trained and acquired their licenses and certificates at general aviation flight school within the United States, the use of these aircraft as weapons of mass destruction showed that there was a massive gap in our nation’s National security. The reason for this is the fact that all these individuals were from foreign countries and they were able to get their pilot licenses meant that there was a weak United States general aviation security program, especially when they trained pilots from foreign countries. Since those event that unfold that tragic day of September 11th, major enhancements and changes has taken place towards commercial aviation, on the contrary, general aviation training has not been given this attention. This further increases the risk for terrorist groups to use general aviation aircrafts as terrorist

Following the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, Rescorla invited Hill to New York, where he hired him as a security consultant in order to assess the building 's security. Although no arrests had yet been made, Rescorla believed that the bomb had been planted by Muslims. Hill went undercover in several mosques throughout New Jersey, showing up for morning prayers at dawn. He took on the character of an anti-American Muslim, in order to interview the other visitors to the mosques. He concluded that the attack was likely planned by a radical imam at a mosque in New York or New Jersey. Followers of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, a radical Muslim cleric based in Brooklyn, were subsequently convicted of the bombing.
The attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001 were the direct result of the failure of US agencies, ranging from the White House to airport security, to recognize vulnerabilities present in the various symptoms. The reason why these vulnerabilities were not acknowledged and repaired is that these various agencies were trapped in a cognitive dissonance cycle of thinking. After the Cold War, terrorism was seen as a regional problem (9/11 Commission, 92).

As a result, the tactics used for fighting terrorism were centralized mostly in the Middle East and were restricted to

In total, 3,000 people died on September 11th, 2001” (History.com Staff). The September 11th-attacks have affected airport security by the new training of flight attendants, the formation of the Transportation Security Administration and new technical advances to keep up with increased terror threats.

To achieve this goal, the communists who pursue the common interests of all proletarians need to make the proletariat the ruling class, then abolish the private property and centralize all production (p.13). Personally, I think that Marx and Engels are weak for the argument that
