September 11th, 2001 was a historic day in America as terrorists were able to inflict a serious blow to our country. At 8:46 am, a hijacked plane struck the north tower of the World

"A plane just crashed right into one of the Twin Towers!" Someone yelled. People were screaming because they were on fire. Others were fleeing for their life, but all I could do was stare in awe at the smoking hole in one of the biggest towers in New York. September 11, 2001, one of the most devastating days for me, and for all of America.

September 11, 2001, 2,996 people died, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center crashed into by planes and fell, a part of the Pentagon was destroyed by another plane, and in a field in Pennsylvania a plane crashed. 9/11 is a day that will always be remembered for the tragedy that happened. After 9/11 happened the American people thought that it was the government’s fault for letting something like that happen to them, they wanted to know why the government ignored the warning signs that this was going to happen. They wanted the government to fix what had happened by whatever means necessary, so nothing ever happened like this again. So the United States government enacted a number of laws and regulation that were put in order to prevent another

September 11th, 2001. A painful date in American history that impacted the entire world, and yet therefore brought forth multiple speeches to give the people hope once again. All of which used many strategies to achieve this needed reaction. Of these many speeches, there are two in particular that will be focused on now; President Bush's and Prime Minister Blair's.

9/11. What was once a simple date that turned into a horrific day in 2001. “On September 11, 2001, at 8:45 a.m. on a clear 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. The impact left a gaping, burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110 story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors” (history.com, 2010). The attacks were from the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda. After 9/11 we went into a chaotic security mode and honestly were upset and scared of Muslim people. Non-Muslim Americans were so upset and angry at another religion that

September 11th, 2001 is a date that will be forever remembered by many. It was one of the most terrifying and horrendous days ever experienced in the United States. Just this one event impacted every American, as well as effected others all over the world in some type of traumatic way. Best known as, 9/11. It marked a time that changed society forever instantly.

September 11, 2001, the start of terrorism in The United States, and the end of innocence in our lives. Some of us are lucky to never know the fright of that horrid day. For others though, the events that transpired on September 11 will live on forever in their memory.

September 11th, 2001 is one of the worst moments that has ever happened for America. With the Death Toll of Approximately 3,000 people, 400 of them firefighters and Police Officers, this day is often remembered with memories of fear. I think that this is one of the most influence events in America’s History for many reasons. First, because of the death toll. Second, because of how it affects life even today.

9.11.01 was a horrifying day for the people of America, as well as many others from across the globe. It has been 14 years since that day and people will still be remembering this day forever. People will never forget 9.11, where two planes that were hijacked by Islamic people sent by Osama Bin Laden and flown into the twin towers, and another plane that had hit the pentagon. I think of this day as the saddest day that America had ever had.

September 11, 2001 was a very horrible day. The twin towers was hit by 2 planes. The 2 planes hit the sides , middle of the buildings. When the planes hit , their was people inside working. The planes hit like mid way through the building. The people was struck at the top of the building but the people who was below escaped. Some people was hurt or killed because of the planes and the buildings. Some thoughts of 9/11 still plays through people heads from time to time.

September 11 2001 was the worst day for america when 19 men hijacked 2 plains and commanded the plain driver strait into the 2 twin towers killing almost everyone in the 2 twin towers and on the plane

Tuesday, September 11th 2001. What seemed like an ordinary day, would soon become one for the books. People rushed to work and frantically prepared for their day. The events that occurred that day had lasting impacts on America. Air travel has become more of a hassle, deportation nearly skyrocketed and New Yorkers face health issues to this day.

The 11 September is a date that nobody in the world can forget, especially the US people. The source I found is "September 11 and New York City's Workers: The Personal Observations of a Working-Class Historian" written by Richard Greenwald, here the author analyze the days after the attack from the points of view of the normal workers. It is similar to the short story I read with the name "Fear & Loathing in America" written by Hunter S. Thompson, also this story talks about the day after the attack from the point of view of normal people. The first story I cited impressed me because it is very sincere, the author says how many people in the neighborhood had a story to tell, who had a son dead, who had a cousin dead, who risked to lose his life. Every people had a story to tell but the day after, nobody had

Attacks receive more coverage when they harm or kill victims, involve hijackings or aircraft, have known perpetrators, and select targets associated with Western countries. A study of transnational terrorism shows that attacks that inflict injuries are twice as likely to attract media attention as those that do not. The attacks in which the perpetrator can be identified are four times as likely to be reported in a newspaper and ten times as likely to be reported on television (The Media’s Role in International Terrorsim). Attacks in the Middle East or Europe are twice as likely to receive media attention as attacks perpetrated in Latin America (The Media’s Role in International Terrorism). There are very similar factors that influence media coverage of attacks that take place within the United States.

“If the media were not there to report terrorist acts and to explain their political and social significance...terrorism as such would cease to exist” said John O'Sullivan, an editor of the Times of London.1 This is also the way many other people feel about the recent increase in terrorist activity; they feel that the media is causing it. The media is doing this by fulfilling the terrorists' need for publicity.2 Terrorists need media publicity in order to get their views spread to the public.3 Because of this need for publicity, terrorists are committing their acts of terrorism in areas where a lot of publicity will be gained; the United States and Western Europe are the most recent targets. The bombings of the federal building in
