Flight 93 Research Paper

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.

One of the most controversial events ever to occur is still being talked about to this day. September 11th, 2001 will forever go down in history as one of the most tragic disasters to hit the United States of America. It was heartbreak for all of us to see those towers fall and thousands upon thousands of American lives destroyed. One might ask themselves; didn’t everything get explained a little too quickly? Why did everyone so quickly forget the details to this tragedy? The events of September 11th, 2001 are surely going to be remembered for its brutal truth and will always remind us of the hate that we as humans can create. The events of September 11th happened so fast that lots of details were overlooked but now, six years later one

As an infant on my mother’s hips at the airport it never crossed my mind that things in my life were certainly never going to be the same in the months to come. My very first time at the airport was with my mom when I was eleven days old, and we were able to walk right up to my grandma’s gate to meet her. It was the very first time she met me. The next time I was in an airport was after I got of a plan to meet my whole family for the first time when I was just 2 months old. As before, my family was able to meet my mom and I right at the gate. TSA wasn’t even a thing like it is today. On September 11th of 2000 tragedy struck this nation and nothing has been the same since. My father received a call the morning of the 11th to load up in a P-3 Orion with 10 other people and was set up to be in the air by noon. They flew up and down the coast patrolling for 11 draining hours. They had loaded up the plane with missiles and were told to fire them at any plane in sight. As you can imagine my mom was terrified, because all of what was just listed was unknown information at the time. We were stationed in Brunswick Maine at the time and to my knowledge now, the men who flew the planes into the twin towers started their morning by taking a plane from Portland Maine to Boston, from which they then hijacked the planes that were to be longer flights because they had the most fuel. The things my parents have told me, have changed me into who I am today, based on what they

When the towers were attacked early in the morning, my family and I were having a normal morning. We were waking up and you were three months old so I was focused getting you up for the morning and getting you changed and ready for the day. At about 7 in the morning, I turned on the news and saw what happened right after the first plane hit so I went to wake up your dad and told him what happened and he came out and we started watching the news. Minutes after the first plane hit was when the second plane hit and that’s when I knew that it was a terrorist attack and it was an event that i’ll never forget and it changed me and changed our country that day. Soon after, your dad and I realized the severity of the situation

September 11, 2001 began as a beautiful day with a clear blue sky, yet today people recognize it as “the single largest loss of life resulting from a foreign attack”(September 11, 2001 2016). These attacks conducted by the terrorist group, Al Qaeda, killed thousands of people and left their loved ones shocked and devastated. At first, the people thought the plane crashing into one of the twin towers was just an accident; it was not until the second collision that people realized America was truly under attack. Though this tragedy lasted only a day, people continue to feel the effects 15 years later, and most likely will in the future. After this terrible day, the security at many places– such as airports –was strengthened greatly. Many people, however, continue to live with the looming fear that another tragedy like this may recur. The attacks of September 11, 2001 greatly affected my mother, Anita Kaplan, because after that tragic day, she became paranoid in regards to the safety of her and her family, afraid to travel on airplanes, and more aware of both the world news and her surroundings.

On this day my father heard of this horrible incident in school. The teacher sadly announced to the class “ An airplane into one of the Twin Towers. It is a possibility that it is a terrorist attack.” My father was a fifteen year old boy at the time. He did not know anyone on the plane or in the Twin Towers.

Tuesday, September 11, 2001, began as a normal peaceful morning in the largest city in the United States. New York City was just as busy as usual, all the hustle and bustle of the people headed to their jobs, all the traffic going in and out of the World Trade Center. Millions of the people were in morning rush hour on their way from their homes to work. The World Trade Center was a symbol of U.S. power and financial strength, but that was about to change. A few minutes after 9:00 a.m., the sky was not sunny and clear as it had just been minutes before. There was smoke, dust, and debris everywhere. Two jet airplanes, hijacked by religious terrorists, crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center and blowup. The impact left a gasping, burning hole in both of the towers, killing hundreds of people almost instantly and trapping thousands more in higher floors. The collision caused a gigantic explosion that showered burning debris over surrounding buildings and the streets below. A third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. America was under attack. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters. This lead to millions of people trapped with no way of escaping the twin towers. They knew they would not make it back home to their friends and family members. Can you imagine the feeling of knowing your

The morning of September 11, 2001 started off like any other Tuesday morning. The weather was flawless, clear blue skies, not a cloud in sight. I awoke to the sound of loud car horns going off in the streets below, and the banter of the old men talking about last night 's Yankees game. Leaning back into my large, warm bed, eyes still heavy from staying up late the night before, I turned over to look at my alarm and panicked. I forgot to set it last night. I frantically jumped out of bed and was hit by the cool rush of air against my bare body, and the cold bathroom tile beneath my feet. I quickly fixed my long brown hair, and managed to put some makeup on my face. Running to my closet, I desperately searched through the racks of clothes hanging up for proper work attire. I managed to successfully walk out the door with both of my shoes on, hair brushed, and my clothes right side in within 10 minutes. Rushing down the stairs of my small urban apartment, I was met with regular old men gossiping about what they

On September 11th 2001, New York was attacked by terrorists. When asked about the day of the attack, my father told his story. My father’s day started out by him getting on the bus at 4:35 to go to Grand Central Terminal, his job at the time. He arrived at work around six a.m.. He punched in and started his typical day. Three hours went by and this is when things took a turn for the bad side.

September 11, 2017 started off as a seemingly normal day for the passengers and crew off American Airlines Flight 93. The flight started at Newark Airport and was suppose to be an all day flight that would go to New Jersey, then San Francisco, California. Who knew that those 45 minutes would change the course of history? The critical delay changed everything, because word spread quickly of the tragedy and reached even the ears of the passengers and crew.

Life or death situations can occur where individuals must make split second decisions; decisions which can potentially affect a person’s life. As a certified lifeguard, I have experienced life or death situations at my local pool, similar to the event Adam Mayblum experienced on the morning of September 11, 2001. As he began his normal morning routine at work, a Boeing 767 Jetliner crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center just a couple of floors above him. Mayblum writes an email describing the events he experienced that fateful morning hoping to share his story with other Americans. Although the magnitude of an event like 9/11 dwarfs that of my emergency, experiencing a life or death situation gave both Mayblum and myself a reminder of our own mortality. Similarly, the United States of America lost its sense of security after a large, devastating attack was committed on its own soil. A tragic event can cause trauma and suffering, but it can spur a country or an individual to rebuild themselves to become better and stronger.

Here in New York City, a terrible tragedy took place today, September 11th. A tragedy that will change our very way of life. the twin towers at the world trade center went under attack. We arrived on the scene of what was believed to be a bomb explosion in tower one. It was quickly discovered a plane had flown into the tower. Soon after our arrival, a second plane hit tower number two. When I witnessed the second plane hit, there was a sudden knowing among everyone there that this was no accident. We were under attack. There was debris falling all around the tower and crushing cars. It was scary to think of how many people could have died. Little did I know at the time that the worst was worst to come. As the intense fire grew larger, people

On January 15, 2009, about 3:27 PM eastern standard time, US Airways flight 1549, an Airbus Industrie A320-214, N106US, piloted by First Officer Jeffrey Skiles and monitored by Captain Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger was scheduled for domestic commercial flight from LaGuardia Airport, New York City, New York to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in SeaTac, Washington experienced loss of thrust in both engines after encountering multiple bird strike during its take off and was ditched on the Hudson River roughly eight miles from LaGuardia Airport, New York City, New York about two minutes before the in-flight event occurred. All 155 occupants safely evacuated the airplane by the forward and over-wing exits and were rescued from nearby watercraft.

It was what citizens call a beautiful, normal, late September day in downtown Manhattan; Sun shining bright, leaves beginning to turn, and people commuting to their everyday jobs. Little did anyone know, America would forever be changed on this day. It’s now remembered forever by the title of 9/11. Terrorism has been involved in the U.S. for many years. This is one, sad example of the act. There are many parts to the dreadful, sad story, including terrorism in general, the planning behind the event, who was involved, the day of, and the aftermath.

September 11,2001 was one of the saddest days in American history. As everyone knows, September 11, 2001 was the day that shook the world. It didn’t only affect the US but everyone around the world. The people in those buildings were not only Americans but people of every nationality. I don’t think that one person knew exactly how to react or think. This tragedy is something that should have never happened from the start. However, it did. Most of America can tell you that they remember exactly what they were doing and where they were on September 11th. Unfortunately, for kids my age, we were just too young to remember the devastating events that happened on this day. Even though it may seem as though many people lost their lives in these tragic events, we have to remember that hundreds and thousands were saved. However, weeks after thousands were estimated dead. What is the worst about this event is that a lot the workers or visitors who died had been at or above the point
