Argumentative Essay About 9/11

September 11th 2001 there was a surprise attack on the United States by terrorists. The terrorists allegedly hijacked four airplanes. One was meant for the White House, one was meant for the Pentagon and the other two were meant for the twin tower which fell and many lives were lost. However some say it was not terrorists and that it was the United States government and that the government set a bomb and that they had several motives to do this.

9-11 is one of the most memorable, tragic events to ever occur in history. Almost three thousand lives were lost on September 11th, and no one old enough to remember this attack will ever forget what happened. This tragedy started a ripple effect of policy reform and changes throughout America that we are still reeling from today. The causes of 9-11 were stated in Osama Bin Laden’s “Letter to America” in November of 2002. According to Bin Laden, his reason for orchestrating such a monstrous plan was due to the US foreign policy before September 11th, 2001. Support for Israel, sanctions on Iraq, and US military presence in Saudi Arabia were Bin Laden’s main reasons for an attack on America (“Letter”). Influence in Middle Eastern affairs was the cause of 9-11, an event that led to the formation of the Patriot Act and a stronger surveillance state. These new policies and powerful intrusive organizations have put the country in perpetual fear of another homeland attack.

Temperatures are rising, fires are spreading, and those around you are panicking running to the nearest exit. Holding their loved ones as they kiss life goodbye, they take a step over the ledge and jump…plummeting to their deaths. Do you jump or sit there and fade away into the flames?

For example, Detention and questioning at airports, Investigation of Muslim charities, bullying at schools, and workplace discrimination.

September 11, 2001 is a day no American can forget. No matter what you were doing, where you were, or who you were with, you probably stopped and stared at a television displaying images of smoke billowing out of the World Trade Center towers. How could this happen to America? That is something that I can’t answer. Frankly, I am not sure if anyone can answer it. But what we do know is America jumped back up and began to construct a plan that would help law enforcement officials recognize and prevent terrorism before it happens.

September 11, 2001 will forever be known as an infamous and tragic day Americans will unquestionably remember. On this day, three planes filled with innocent civilians, were hijacked and crashed into significant sites. The three places the hijacked planes collided with were the Twin Towers in New York City, and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. In addition, the terrorists orchestrating the whole attack scheduled a fourth plane to collide into another aimed target. Fortunately, though unlike the other hijacked planes, the mission was unsuccessful. The passengers on the plane fought against the terrorists and eventually surpassed their power, landing the plane in Pennsylvania. Though this may have been a slight victory and prevented worse outcomes, it did not outweigh the devastating results of the collisions. Inside the Twin Towers and the Pentagon,

In my analysis, I’ve come to the conclusion that the United States is in fact safer than it was over 16 years ago. The United States has taken up a numerous amount of measures to protect itself from any external and internal threat, such as the most memorable and unfortunate attacks of al Qaeda when they crashed planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. In the time since we have had two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, spent hundreds of billions of dollars to improve security and strengthen intelligence capabilities. Not only that but after nearly a decade, al Qaeda leader and the man that orchestrated the 9/11 attacks, Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011 in Pakistan by U.S. special forces. They have since kept

There has been many terrorists attacks throughout American history. Yet, there is one attack that stands out the most to Americans, it is the one on September 11, 2001. This was when two airplanes had crashed into the world trade center and into the pentagon. After this, Americans had come to the conclusion that all Muslims are terrorists and that they should shun all Muslims at any cost.The way America had handled muslim treatment after 9/11 was not justified because, not all Muslims are terrorist and this had turned one of the largest religions in the world into becoming afraid of all Americans.

However, the death and destruction of 9/11 did not stop after that fateful morning. Health and mental problems caused people to die. After 9/11 people were so afraid to get on planes for traveling that everybody drove there was 1,000 deaths in automobile accidents from September 11-December 31st. The economic destruction caused by 9/11 is another reason why terrorism is a disaster. Two buildings in New York were completely destroyed surmounting into tens of billions however, the

According to The New York Post, the number of cancer cases of 9/11 first respondents had hugely increased from 1,140 to over 2,500 within a year. However, the epidemiologists from Mount Sinai hospital do not agree with the double of this case as it is crucial to ‘be careful and try to understand what you are comparing.’ The hospital also conducts research and finds out that, comparing to the general population in America, there is an approximately 20% increase in cancer incidence in 9/11 rescue and recovery workers. The particular diseases that they are exposed to are thyroid and prostate cancer, myeloma and leukemia. However, this result causes questions due to some contributing factors, including over diagnosis of certain cancers which are thyroid and prostate and the continued aging of the first respondents. This case is significant as 9/11 is still having an impact on American society, being more than a significant historical incident for Americans, although the search for a similar context would be able to frustrate researchers.

According to a Scripps Howard poll, thirty-six percent of Americans believe that “Federal officials either assisted in the 9/11 attacks or took no action to prevent them because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East” and, based on the evidence, these beliefs are completely valid. The commonly accepted version of the tragic events which took place on September 11, 2001, is that a certain number of individuals from a terrorist group known as Al Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and flew them into the two world trade buildings, the pentagon, and the last one into a field. How is it though, that the United States of America, having the strongest, most advanced military in the world, happened to miss not one, but four planes flying off course, heading straight for some of the most important buildings in the country? The sad truth is that they didn't miss these planes at all, evidence

Following September 11, 2001, air travelers experienced many changes in airport security procedures. For example, airlines instructed passengers to arrive at airports as much as two hours before takeoff for domestic flights. After passing through security checkpoints, passengers were randomly selected for additional

9/11 being the horrific event is is, I believe there were also some positive consequences that resulted from it. First of all, one positive outcome was that it galvanized the world’s attention against terrorism. Many governments around the world passed “Legislation to combat terrorism,” which made sure everyone grew awareness towards this tragedy. One example of this is none other than stricter security at the U.S airports. Raising cautiousness is definitely classified as something good because it allows us to make changes to the best of our abilities in order to prevent something like this to happen again. After some research, I found that another positive consequence that resulted from 9/11 was how America had come together like never before.

On 9/11, 2001 it was a sad and memorable time. In New York City two planes hit the twin towers unexpectedly. Looking at the firefighters you can see that they are confused and they are standing in shock. There's people screaming, crying and terrified of what's going on. That day, no one knew what was happening. Everyone was running in terror and fear. While this was all going on the same people that were trapped started jumping out of the buildings falling to their deaths. Looking up at the smoke is just breath taking. Knowing that tones of people are going to die. What goes through my mind when watch the videos of 9/11 is why and how? Why and how can someone do this? They evacuated the area around the twin towers panicking more people and
