Bombing Of The National Security

September 11, 2001 was not just any ordinary day for the citizens of the United States and the city of New York, but a devastating attack that has put us all in shock and fear. As all of you know, the Tuesday that this country was ambushed and attacked destructively by terrorists, was one of the saddest days America has ever seen. Not only did it affect the people that were in the World Trade Center Towers and the loved ones who unfortunately passed away, but it affected our country as a whole. Scared, devastated, astonished, and surprised are just a few words that begin to describe September 11th. As separate states and people, I can confidently say that America has never been closer together as one than on that

Imagine a cloud of black smoke covering the sky of your hometown or having to make the choice if you should jump to your death out of a skyscraper because if you didn’t, then you would burn alive. Imagine calling your husband while on a plane while knowing that will be the last time you tell him you love him. Imagine the fear you would feel not knowing if your loved ones survived a terrorist attack. This nightmare on an imaginations became a terrible reality for New Yorkers and American citizens. On September 11, 2001, four aircrafts were hijacked by Al-Qaeda terrorists. Two of the aircrafts flew into the twin towers in New York City, one aircraft crashed into the Pentagon, and the fourth aircraft crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. These terrorist attacks that took place on September 11 resulted in many casualties, an increase in airport security, and the United States invading Afghanistan and the Middle East.

The attacks were orchestrated by a terrorist organization known as al-Qaeda (meaning the base in english). Nineteen militants hijacked four planes and committed suicide bombings on targets. Two planes crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade center, one crashed in a field as the passengers attempted to retake plane and the fourth crashed into the Pentagon. Nearly 3000 people were killed by these attacks and did billions of dollars in damages (History.com, 2010).

On September 11th, 2001 the worst attack on American soil happened.Four planes were hijacked in a terrorist attack. During this event, all hijacking attempts were successful except one. The first two planes hit the twin towers in New York City. Then another plane hit the Pentagon near Washington D.C. The last hijacked plane was heading to Washington, D.C. to attack the capital. This attack however was not successful. This was due to several brave Americans on board who crashed the plane in a field in Pennsylvania. This devastating attack overall killed just about 3,000 American citizens (9/11 timeline (history) A&E Television Networks, LLC 2015, 5, May 2015). Because of this attack, America now felt the need to protect themselves

These terrorists were funded by Saudi fugitive Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist organization. They were allegedly responding in vengeance for the United States of America’s support of Israel, its sustained military occupancy of the Middle East, and its engagement in the Persian Gulf War. Several of the terrorists had resided in the United States of America for approximately a year and had attended the American commercial flight schools to learn how to fly a plane. Others had smuggled themselves into the country months prior to the September 11 attacks and helped carry out the operation. The nineteen radical Islamic terrorists effortlessly slipped knives and box-cutters straight past security at three different airports on the East Coast and boarded four flights bound for California. These flights were selected for the reason that the aircrafts were weighted with fuel for the long journey across the country. Shortly after the planes took off, the terrorists hijacked the four planes and made their way to the cockpit to control them. This transformed typical commuter airplanes into deadly guided missiles. As millions of people witnessed the events happening in New York, American Airlines Flight 77 flew around downtown Washington, D.C., and crashed into the west side of the Pentagon military headquarters at 9:45 a.m. Jet fuel from the Boeing 757 caused a devastating conflagration that

Osama bin Laden was the leader for the attack killing 343 people; he had a team from Saudi Arabia and other from Arab nation. The men were acting as an American supporting for Israel that is how they were able to take flight lessons at the American commercial flight school. 19 terrorist snuck in with guns and knives through the security, they took control of four planes planting guided missiles in the plane. Each plane was going to a different state but less than an hour each are being crashed by buildings. First flight flew to New York City crashing into the World Trade Center, second flight turned sharply towards World Trade Center near the south area, third flight flew to Washington, D.C slamming into the Pentagon military headquarters but less than 15 minutes another plane flew into the twin towers, the towers were in smokes and dust and last but least the fourth flight was hijack since the flight was delay everyone saw the news on via cellphone. Once the plane took off everyone was running towards the first class trying to stop the terrorist but failed to save everyone from the plane.

Total devastation, thousands of lives lost, the worst terrorist attack in American history. On September 11th, 2001, Islamic terrorists had hijacked four American Airlines planes with the intentions to reign terror on the United States of America, two of the airplanes crashing into the Twin Towers, one into the Pentagon, and one in a field in Pennsylvania. Many people speculate that these attacks were the responsibility of Osama Bin Laden, especially after a recent report by news outlet Independent. To quote the article;

“You couldn’t feel that there was any safer place in the world”. An examination of primary and secondary sources will reveal the historical significance of this event. Many Americans still feel bad as a result to the attacks. People were nervous about losing more family members as a result to the attacks. Many people say that they feel foolish worrying about terrorist. After the attacks people began to think. Asking their selves what would be the next spot. Some hijackers bought tickets and everything else with their own money. Leaving evidence for us to find who they work for. At airports, many security problems accrued. People across the country watching all of it happen felt the exact same way as the people right in front of the buildings.

On September 9, 2011 the Nation took a hue turn. Just thinking that morning you send your loved ones off to work or school and not seeing them again. One the day of the attack there were many emotions going on because you didn’t know where they were going to hit next. If your children were in school you couldn’t get them because they didn’t know if you were set up, so they did everything to protect the safety. At the time of 9/11 I was only four years old, I don’t remember much. All I could remember is way are all the adults glued to the television and crying. Ever since September 9,2011 the freedom and security has

On the morning of September 11, 2001, an Islamic terrorist group known as al-Qaeda carried out a series of four attacks on the United States. The most well-known attack is when two commercial airline planes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City. Many innocent lives were lost and families were torn apart. While many Americans were determined to show their resilience towards the attacks, this is a day many Americans will never forget. Although the attacks happened sixteen years ago, Americans are still dealing with the impacts these attacks have had on life in America. The 9/11 attacks have had several long-lasting effects on everyday life in America, some of which include an increase in airport security, a change in national security, and an increase the fear of terrorism.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, four hijackers carried out their plan of a terrorist attack on the United States. At about 9 A.M. on that day the first plane with hijacker, Mohammed Atta, crashed into the North Tower in New York City. Shortly thereafter the second hijacked plane crashed into the South Tower, alerting the United States that this was an act of terrorism. At 9:37 A.M., Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon in Washington D.C., putting the United States on high alert and shutting down flights throughout the nation. The World Trade Center, including both the North and the South Towers, collapsed early that morning, not too long after being struck by the hijacked planes. While these acts of terror had immediate physical and emotional effects on the nation, the attack also had both short-term and long-term economic effects on the United States.

On September 11, 2001, the Islamist terrorist group known as al-Qaeda launched a series of terrorist attacks on the United States of America, specifically in the New York City and Washington D.C areas. Nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four planes with the intention of using them as suicide attacks that would crash those planes into designated buildings, or targets. Two of the four passenger jets were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, both of which collapsed entirely within two hours of being hit. The third plane was crashed into the Pentagon, and the west side of the building, which is the

On September 11, 2001 four planes were hacked by a group of Islamic extremists called Al Qaeda which resulted in the deaths of more than 3,000 people and almost 10,000 injuries. The first hijacked plane, Airlines Boeing 767 flew straight into the North Tower, at the famous World Trade Center that ultimately resulted in the immediate deaths of hundreds and leaving a large mass of people trapped at the top of the tower as the bottom had begun to slowly collapse onto itself. 20 minutes later, a little after 9am, a second plane, Airlines Boeing 767, crashed into the south tower. Almost 40 minutes later, the third plane that had been hijacked ultimately led to the burning and wreckage of the west wing of the Pentagon. Almost 200 people were

As a result, many more people to include fire fighters lost their lives during the collapse of the World Trade Center. Through all this chaos, a fourth plane had been on hijacked; the delay of departure allowed for the passengers to learn of the events that occurred with the other three planes. The passengers of the fourth plane sacrifice their lives to prevent the hijackers from hitting their next target. It was discovered that attacks were the results America’s part in the Persian Gulf War. The hijackers were discovered to be Islamic terrorists who received funding from the Osama Bin Laden’s organization. This deadly massacre caused America to take some drastic measures in different departments. Department of Homeland Security, aviation and US Customs and Immigration immediately made changes that would help to prevent from any future terrorist attacks.

Two United and two American Airline airplanes were hijacked by terrorists and flown into four targets in the United States. There were at least four to five hijackers on each plane. The hijackers were armed with knives, and had at least one person who was capable of flying the plane. The hijackers took over the planes, bounded the pilots, took over the cockpit, and flew the planes on suicide missions. Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center 's Twin Towers in New York City, another into the Pentagon in Washington DC and a fourth in Pennsylvania. The result of the attack, the Twin Towers collapsed, part of the Pentagon was crushed, and thousands of people died. The attack was part of a jihad, or holy war by the Muslims in the Middle East against America. They resent us for our freedom and for our occupation in the Middle East. All of the news stations repeatedly showed the buildings plunging to the ground. Americans responded with true American spirit and patriotism by volunteering, donating goods, and flying American flags. (“I cried and felt extreme sorrow for the families of those who had not made it out alive. They had to relive that horrible moment over and over again,” said my mom. “I was also outraged: How could such an act be committed on American soil?” The events of 9/11 rocked my mother to her core and began a year of soul searching into her life as a wife, a mother, and a professional. My mom and my dad began to recognize the many challenges and changes
