Some argue that the 9/11 attacks hastened the airline industry to make changes that would have come sooner or later because many carriers were already in financial trouble.

Many people were killed in the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers, additionally those who jumped down from stories above and the hundreds who asphyxiated in the massive smoke that had spread from New York to Washington D.C..

On September 11th, 2001, The US experienced the worst terrorist attack ever planned and executed on our country’s soil. The attacks affected all Americans who watched and were victims of the horrifying event. Our airport security definitely evolved in many ways, along with everyday lives of the citizens in our country. One of the tons of people to watch the attack as it happened was my mother.

Since then, security and security risk management has been at the forefront for 10 years. Recently, Europe has seen many terrorist attacks forcing them to make changes. Some examples of this recent terrorism Began in March 2004, al-Qaida simultaneously detonated 10 bombs throughout the train lines of Spain’s capital city Madrid killing 191 people and injuring 2,050. In the United Kingdom (UK), London’s transportation network was attacked by suicide bombers killing 52 people and causing $52 million US dollars of damage. The UK has been one of the more successful European countries when it comes to catching terrorists. From 2001-2011, over 2,800 people have been arrested for terrorist related offences compared to the United States 154 people. In 2011, a single nationalist named Anders Behring Breivik bombed a government building in Oslo, Norway. One week later, he made his way to a Norwegian labor camp located 25 miles away and killed 69 more in another bombing.

The attack began on September 5, 1972, and involved eight Palestinian terrorists. The terrorists invaded the Olympic Village, killing two members of the Israeli team and taking an addition nine other Israelis athletes as hostages in an attempt to bargain for the release of over 230 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. Following the abduction, all nine athletes, along with five terrorists and a German policeman, died in a botched rescue attempt (History.com Staff, 2009). I think that this event is considered significant for a number of reasons. The first is that the Olympics were a globally televised event with an estimated 1 billion people view the games. This made the terrorist attack and the events that subsequently ensured, one of the most globally viewed terrorist events of that time period.
