Impact Of 9 / 11

A terrorist attack is one of the most frightening things that one can encounter. They are unpredictable, random, senseless, and devastating. One of the largest and most well known acts of terrorism was the attack on the twin towers on September 11, 2001. During the attack close to 3,000 people were killed (September 11) and the nation of America was left in complete and utter fear. The laws and regulations passed as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have been helpful to American society because of new safety precautions, assurance that nothing of that magnitude would ever occur again, and an overall increase of safety for American citizens.

America has experienced some events that has made an impact on all of our lives. Take the attack on 9/11 for example; terrorists attacked the United States using planes. They hijacked four airplanes in mid-flight. The terrorists flew two of the planes into two skyscrapers at the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact caused the buildings to catch fire and collapse. Another plane destroyed part of the Pentagon (the U.S. military headquarters) in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Officials believe that the terrorists on that plane intended to destroy either the White House or the U.S. Capitol. Passengers was the plane fought the terrorists and prevented them from reaching their goal. In all, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks. This attack reminded many people of the attack of Pearl Harbor. Both were very catastrophic events that changed U.S. History and America in a way that makes us realize that we need to be strong.

September 11. 2001 was a major turning point in American History, and its political and social impact can still be felt today. The tragic event shook the entire country on the civilian and federal level. Before 9/11 many did not think that a plan of terrorism such as that of Osama Bin Laden's would be able to come to fruition because they had great trust in American security. The destruction came as a wakeup call to the federal government and American citizens themselves. National Security became the first thing people thought of when they traveled, and civilians looked to the government for reassurance that they were safe. The federal government's plan of action was to pass a series of acts that would go on to create the Department of Homeland Security and Transportation Security Association. Along with the creation of more strict security measures came the question of "who is a terrorist?" within the country. The formation of the DHS, TSA, and increase of Islamophobia are some examples of the lasting effects that 9/11 had on the country.

On September 11th, 2001, the worst terror attack on US soil took place. 19 people associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda took 4 airplanes and carried out suicide to kill people in the United States. Two of the planes hit the World Trade Center, another plan hit the pentagon just outside Washington, D.C, and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. These attacks caused massive destruction, forcing the U.S to combat terrorism and “defining the presidency of George W. Bush” (History). 9/11 is one of the most tragic events in the history of America, minute by minute people feared and this fear brought the country together in a way that it never did

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America divided two nations, yet knit one closer like the attacks on Pearl Harbor. There were many events that lead up to 9/11 that were only the beginning. The attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 was the finale. George Bush wrote in his diary, “The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century happened today…” (George Bush). This attack was a surprise, just like Pearl Harbor, but the U.S. reacted swiftly and effectively. The appalling events Now, more than a decade later, the 9/11 attacks still affect our life today.

The final aspect of why these three events did not have as much of an influence on America is because these things all happened with a short amount of time within each other, and they are actually closely related to one another. A theory that was widely believed after WWII called the “Domino Theory”, was the belief that if one country fell to communism, then the surrounding countries would also fall to communism until there was basically a communistic wave that would clash with the democratic island of America. And in a world torn by a massive war after the 1940s, where the democratic United states and the communist Soviet Union emerged as the superpowers, this domino effect was becoming a terrifying reality. The Truman

When the citizens of the United States went to bed on September 10th, 2001 they had no idea that the events the next day would change their lives in one way or another for the rest of their lives. September 11th began just like any other day but by the end of the day, almost 3,000 people died in four separate deliberate terrorist attacks against the United States. The events on September 11th had shocked the world, caused billions of dollars in damages and made Americans question their sense of security. The attacks on September 11th, conducted by the Islamic extremist group, al-Qaeda, was an important event in United States history because it was the deadliest and biggest terrorist attack on American soil and caused extensive death and destruction

9/11 was one of the most pivotal days in world history. That day made a big impact that was felt for years to come. September 11th constitutes a horrific event in the history of the United States that continues to influence or societal, political and personal decisions. On September 11, 2001, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and part of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C was destroyed. The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center and almost 200 at Pentagon. 9/11 was one the first hijacking in the United States. There was nineteen terrorist that boarded four commercial jetliners the hijackers were apart of al-Qaeda terrorists, They were carrying a maximum load of 11,400 gallons of jet fuel. Their objective

On September 11 members of Al-Qaeda hijacked four planes in the United States. Two of which crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on the plane and an additional three thousand, who were either inside the building or emergency workers who rushed to help. A third plane flew into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. The fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers gained control against the terrorist. Bush declared a “war on terror” and accused Afghanistan and Iraq of supporting Al-Qaeda. The United States also tightened their airport security, as well as, their border patrol. I belief that the United States did not respond appropriately. In my paper you will read about, the United States responds, how this affected the people, and my thesis.

After the events of 9/11 occurred, there were many limitations set in place in the United States. At airports, all passengers that are 18 years or older had to have a government-issued ID in order to board the plane. The airports were allowed to check a passenger’s ID at any time to ensure that the photo on the ID matches the one on the boarding pass. Also at airports around the country, security personnel have been more thoroughly trained to detect weapons, explosives, and anything else that could cause harm to others. In addition to metal detectors, most airports in the U.S. installed full-body scanning machines, where passengers are basically x-rayed to check for any harmful objects or weapons. The United States wanted to take as many precautionary measures as possible to ensure that we did not have another terrorist attack that would leave the country in shambles.

The events of 911 changed America culturally in multiple ways. It also brought American people in the light of a new threat, terrorism. This changed America’s outlook drastic. On September, 11, 2001,multiple Al Qaeda terrorists boarded three passenger planes and then hijacked the planes and carried out suicide attacks against the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, DC., killing everyone on board the planes and nearly 3,000 people on the ground. A fourth plane crashed into a Pennsylvania field, after passengers and crew attempted to take control from the hijackers. These attacks were symbolic attacks against the United States and its people. Not only had it been a psychological attack, it was the first attack in a long time that it happened on US soil. The terrorists were also making symbolic attacks

From the tragic events on September 11, 2001, I would say that we are more secure within our country. Millions of people were affected by this event from physical mental health and financial problems. Different types of injuries were created on that day. We will never forget about what happened to our nation. Because of 9/11, many effects have came to us. The cause of this day has many effects such as deaths, war, and issues in

On September eleventh, 2001, the most prolific terrorist attack of modern history took place on American soil. The discussion about 9/11 consistently revolves around its direct impact on American lives and the military response from the United States. The destruction from the attacks consumes the majority of information taught to students and citizens across American; however, the effects of 9/11 go much further. Economies across the world felt the impact following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centers, an impact that can still be felt today. If the Twin Towers still stood today, we would be living with a completely different economy.

On September 11th nearly 3,000 people died. It has been 15 years, the world is still working to move past the tragedy. It brought the whole world to come out to sympathize with the tragedy. The society has faced a lot of impacts since fifteen years. A few major impacts are the ongoing wars, physical health issues, trust issues, and bigger scale of surveillance. Before the attack, not many people knew about al-Qaeda or Osama bin Laden, and ISIS didn’t exist. According to the research, U.S has deported fifty percent people more than what it used. Also, the surveillance security has increased at the airports and rush cities. The U.S. government took many steps to make the country safer. They tightened security at airports and in public buildings. The Department of

     September 11, 2001 is a day that will forever live in infamy inside the hearts and minds of American citizens. On that morning, the world saw live the destruction and devastation that terrorism can deliver right to our own backyard. Shocking images of the whole tragedy can still be seen on television even now, a whole six months later, yet even now it still seems unimaginable. As most Americans know, the Federal Government has implemented a huge amount of change to our foreign and domestic policies as a result of 9/11. The most noticeable of these in our everyday lives can be seen in our nation’s airports. Huge amounts of money and resources have been spent to help make sure that such a travesty will never
