Causes And Effects Of 9 / 11

The horrific events that took place on September 11th caused thousands of casualties. As a result of the terrorist attacks that took place, nearly three thousand people died and over six thousand people were injured in the attack. A total of nineteen terrorists took thousands of lives away from families across the nation. Over four hundred firefighters and officers in New York City lost their life that day trying to get as many people whom they didn't even know to safety. September 11th will forever be remembered as the day where everyone in the nation united as

On September 11, 2001 the World Trade Center buildings one and two were attacked. However, who we were attacked by and even if we were attacked is a hard decision to make. There have been many different claims about how everything on that fateful day happened. There are facts that we know are true, though; Flight 11 flew into the North Tower at eight forty- six in the morning. Soon after, Flight 175 attacked the South Tower. By the end of the day, both towers had collapsed and other hijacked flights had caused damage. The amount of lives lost on September 11 was substantial; 2,749 people from eighty-three different countries died from the attacks (Facts about the attacks…, n.d.). All in all, America was changed forever.

On September 11, 2001, the United States experienced an attack that changed our country forever. It was reported by the New York magazine that 19 hijackers were responsible for the 2,996 deaths that day, leaving our country in shock. The official report stated that there was a total of 4 planes involved; Flight 11 crashed into the North tower, Flight 175 crashed into the South tower, Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon and Flight 93 was overthrown by passengers and later crashed into the ground in Pennsylvania. There is no doubt that this was one of the worst tragedies our country has ever experienced but many still question the truth behind it. From the discrepancies in the stories of the event, to the fault in the towers mechanics, it

On September 11, 2001 four passenger commercial jet airliners were hijacked and as a result approximately 3,000 human lives were lost. When asked about 9/11, many can recall exactly what they were doing when they heard the news that a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings and many Americans can tell you how it all unfolded and the reason behind such a travesty. The “official story” provided by officials, and restated by Sofia Shafquat, producer of “9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions” say that “four passenger planes were hijacked and taken radically off course, within an hour, two of the planes had flown into the enormous steel towers of the World Trade Center, creating fires and eventually toppling them” (Shafquat).

“The planes were hijacked, the buildings fell, and thousands of lives were lost nearly a thousand miles from here. But the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were an attack on the heart of America” (Newman). For every cause there is an effect, and unfortunately the effects of 9/11 are disturbing. I like to say that everything happens for a reason, and the reasons of 9/11 still continue to puzzle the people today. The attacks on world trade center and pentagon on September 11 2001 were tragic and devastating not only for the victims, but all the people of United States of America. The tragic losses will forever haunt the mind of who ever lived to witness this heartbreaking event. On the Tuesday morning of September 11th,

On September 11, 2001 an attack on America’s World trade centers were targeted for attack. 19 suicide bombers connected with the the extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and attempted suicide attacks against targets within the U.S. Two planes were flown into the world Trade Center towers in New York City. a 3rd plane hit the Pentagon outside of Washington, D.C and also the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. This fourth plane was believed that the terrorists on that plane intended to destroy the White House or another main target like the U.S. Capitol. Passengers on the plane resisted these terrorists from killing many more americans and stopped them before they hit anything and prevented them from reaching their goal. In all, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks. The causes of this attack are not directly known but the attacks were assumed to weaken America emotionally and also because of America's involvement with Iraq. This attack created many long lasting effects on the United stated in many thing like Surveillance, Airport Security, Immigration and Deportation, and also the economy was affected. The attacks that were carried out had a lasting impact that will give America more security.

There is one group responsible for the events of September 11, 2001. A terrorist Islamic group, al-Qaeda, led by Osama bin Laden, were behind the attacks. Nineteen members of this group took control of four planes. America’s stance in the Persian Gulf War, their occupation in the Middle East, and helping Israel is what caused this group to attack. At American commercial flight schools, members of al-Qaeda had prepared for the attacks by enrolling in flying lessons. The terrorists snuck box cutters and knives through airport security. Not too long after taking off, the terrorists took control of the four planes they boarded. They took over American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 77, and United Airlines Flight 93.

September 11, 2001 is a day Americans will never forget. It was a day that brought shock, anger, disbelief, and sadness to everyone. On that day, thousands of innocent people lost their lives due to an act that was unthinkable. It was the day that the United States of America was attacked by nineteen terrorists part of Al-Qaeda. That day was classified as the worst terrorist attack in America. September 11, 2001 changed America forever: in a way that we were not prepared for.

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.

On September 11, 2001 at 8:46 am, the world that the world previously knew, changed forever. A terrorist group, Al-Qaeda, hijacked 4 different planes, all taking off from northeastern United States, and took control. The first plane, American Airlines Flight 11, flew to New York City and crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, killing everyone on board the plane as well as hundreds of others trapped inside the building (history.com). Then, a second plane, United Airlines Flight 175, crashed into the floors 75-85 of the World trade Center’s South Tower, again killing everyone on board as well as hundreds inside. Suddenly, all flights were banned from taking off if they were going to New York City or through the airspace above the city, but only about an hour later, Hijackers aboard Flight 77, crashed the third plane into the western facade of the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Then, at 9:59 am, the unthinkable happens, the South Tower collapses. Not even 30 minutes later the North Tower collapses as well, only 102 minutes about being struck by the plane (history.com). Around 2,996 people died because of this terrorist attack and over 6,000 others were injured including 343 firefighters, 60 police officers, and 8 paramedics (Prince). This unexpected terrorist attacks has significant impacts to the economy, and was especially detrimental considering it was completely unexpected.

With the horrific event of September 11, 2001 with four airplanes that got hijacked and had people taken hostages. With the United States unable to harm innocent people that were on the planes. With two of the airplanes crashing into the twin towers, the third airplane was crashed into the pentagon, and the fourth airplane crashed into a field because of the people res. Nearly three hundred people were killed within that day. It was one of the largest loss of life from a foreign attack on American soil. With the after mass of the tragedy of losing many lives in September 11, 2001 millions of people and volunteers felt that they should assist with the mass tragedy that happened that day.

September 11, 2001 a day that will live infamous in Americans hearts forever. A day which took thousands of innocent American lives. The attackers also took two buildings that were iconic in the New York skyline, towers that were so advanced for their time. Towers that had a whole terrorist organization devoted to taking them out. Terrorist that hated everything that America stood for so much that they wanted to take it over. An American President and government agencies that missed way to many signs to prevent the attacks from happening. After all these things the American public joined together around the idea of patriotism to help a city rebuild. When that started they started assessing things on Capitol Hill, assessing that led to new

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that caused the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans, President George W. Bush passed a series of laws and regulations to help better protect Americans from future terrorist attacks. More than 130 pieces of legislation related to the 9/11 attacks were introduced the year after the attacks, with 48 bills and resolutions approved or signed into law. Three pieces of legislation that were passed that stood out to me most were the USA Patriot Act (2001), The Homeland Security Act (2002), and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (2004). These three really made a significant impact on preventing terrorist attacks in the future and being more prepared for these situations by giving the federal government and law enforcement agencies more power and access to tools that were previously forbidden for their use. Although many people may argue that these laws and regulations have had a negative impact on American society, the positive changes that have occurred outweigh the negative.

On the morning of September 11th, 2001, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks by way of four hijacked airliners was conducted by members of the Islamic terrorist group al-Qa’ida, resulting in the loss of over 3,000 American lives. In the wake of the attacks, many issues were identified within the Intelligence Community (IC), namely that intelligence information had not been shared between agencies or with local law enforcement apparatuses in order to piece together the looming threat. The 9/11 Commission, created in the aftermath of the attacks to piece together a complete account of the circumstances that led up to the tragedy, soon discovered that law enforcement officials in Maryland had issued a traffic citation two days before the attacks to Lebanese-born Ziad Samir Jarrah, an individual who had been placed on the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) watch list, and who would later become known as the pilot hijacker of United flight 93. To the Commission, this was a gross miscommunication that had resulted in missed opportunities to apprehend the terrorists. Had law enforcement officials been able to have access to this vital information, Jarrah might have been apprehended before committing his crime. Other discoveries revealed the bold moves of the perpetrators of the attack, who had not hidden their identities nor made any attempt to mask their disinterest in learning to land commercial aircraft; they further communicated openly by way of the Internet.

9/11 was the day 19 people associated with the Islamic hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Tuesday morning, an American Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. 19 terrorists easily smuggled box-cutters and knives through security at three East Coast airports and boarded four early-morning flights bound for California, chosen because the planes were loaded with fuel for the long transcontinental journey. As millions watched the events unfolding in New York, American Airlines Flight 77 circled over downtown Washington, D.C., before crashing into the west side of the Pentagon military headquarters at 9:45 a.m.
