9/11 Reflection I wasn’t born at the time the attacks happened so I didn’t experience it. The world trade center got hit by two planes. They are also known as the Twin Towers. Both towers went down. What I want to know is how they went down like they did. There is no way the fire could have traveled that fast and how they went down like they did. That is my biggest question. How? It did not have an effect on me like it did other people because I was not born at the time. Be ready for anything and everything. You never know when something might happen. There is more security in the Air Ports now. Just be ready for anything, anything could happen at any moment. Stuff happens just like that. You have to be ready for it. I do not know why they
So the first attack that the hijackers did was the two Twin Towers were the first to attack. The people didn’t want to burn to death so they would just jump off and 200 people died from jumping off the building. So for the people that were in the two towers when the buildings were still the planes going to the Twin Towers the people that were still there they would just burn to death.The first Twin Tower to get hit was at 8:45 am and the time that it was down at 9:59 less than a hour it was down because of the planes. So the Police thought that there were still people alive in the Twin Towers at 10:28.
It was 8:45 and it was a Tuesday and a group of people had a plane full of 20,000 gallons of gas. Then, the plane crashed the twin towers were about 110 story high and about 80 floors were burned. The plane crashed at the 60th floor and 343 were killed during that plane crash. The second tower was collapsed, too. Only six people survived and others past away people can’t find their bodies because it's only dust.
This children seemed well behaved they sat back and listen to their teacher feed them with with lies on eye color. At first the kids seemed like they were not going to fall for the trick but the teacher kept enforcing that she was right about brown eyed students
Hundreds of fire fighters from all over the city were in the twin towers trying to guide all personels to safety. Firefighters had to carry 65 pounds of equipment on their backs and somehow needed to get to the 70 floor. This meant that it would take them over an hour to get to the floor because the elevators were down and one minute was needed per flight of stairs. What's bad is that they were only capable of getting to the 34th floor before evacuation was the next prime goal and every situation only got worse for everyone: the South tower collapsed completely. That seemed to be the only update for the people in towers because of the shocking BOOM sound. They weren’t aware of what hit them, and they weren’t even aware of the South tower attack. People inside were so oblivious to where people on the other side of the world new more of what had
It was a normal day in New York City, with business workers rushing into the World Trade Center. They thought it was going to be like any other day in the office but they were wrong. These office workers were in for the biggest surprise of their life. Planes flown by hijackers crashed into both the Twin Towers, and the Pentagon was hit by a plane as well. Now there is a memorial in New York where the bases of the towers were honoring the people who died that day.
The attacks were the four airplanes crashing and destroying the most famous towers in New York City, The twin towers. This Tragedy caused about 3,000 people’s deaths. Citizens were first aware of the attacks
On September 11, 2001 there was a terrorist attack on the U.S. I believe that the united states responded to 9/11 appropriately because the terrorist group started the attack on the U.S. Terrorist attacks have been made before 9/11 happened, but not just in the U.S. but all around the world.
When 9/11/2001 occurred I was sitting in the lunch room at Good Year Elementary School in Brunswick Georgia eating lunch. My classmates and I was talking normally like we always did until one of the lunch monitors told us to be quiet. I didn’t know exactly what was going on at the time. I just knew something serious had just happened. One of my teachers told the class that a plane had hit the Twin Towers. The teachers then turn on the television as all of us watch not exactly understanding what had happen or what the cause of it was. I remember some of the teacher crying while others got on their cells phones trying to contract their families in New York City, but the lines was so busy. That whole day I remember just sitting in class watching
September 11, the day I went into my honors government class and I saw on the board that the objective of the day was Remembering 9/11. I remember every year at school we would have assemble for 9/11 because it was a tragic event and hundreds of lives were taken from the world. But this year was different… my teacher (Ms. Neil) asked us “How long should we memorialize 9/11?” and then she said “Why don’t we have a memorial for Pearl Harbor?” Those questions got me thinking when people will stop remembering or memorializing Sandy Hook. So as the day goes on my school has the memorial service for 9/11 and it was more emotional than usually. During 9/11 two former students died Chris ____ and Cadiance Williams, and Cadiance’s grandmother was there
Question 1: For those of you, who were not old enough to realize what was going on; consider how life has changed in the U.S. from a security point of view from the terrorist attacks.
On September 11, 2001 terrorists apprehended 4 airplanes and committed the most heinous act in American history. They flew two planes into the world trade center, one into the Pentagon, and one crashed in a field in Pennsylvania crash killing more than three thousand American citizens. Since 9 /11many things have changed in America in relation to our national security.
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 Thursday, November 16, 2017, a student analysis was completed during the Language Arts writing assignment at Sharpsville Elementary, in a Third Grade classroom. At this time, I was teaching the class about different heroes that were a part in the event on September 11, 2001. The writing assignments was conducted at the beginning of an assessment indicating what students already knew about the event, and what students wanted to know about 9/11 throughout the lesson. Also, the other parts of the writing assignments were after the minilesson. The students were given “traits of a hero” sheet, graphic organizer, and “a hero is” writing prompt. The age group of these students were between ages 8-9 years old.
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.
Every generation can point to one event that shaped their life and views of the world. For some it was the crash of the challenger, the Vietnam War or the fall of the Berlin Wall. These events direct effect was usually limited but the radiating indirect effect was nearly all consuming. As someone on the cusp between millennial and generation Z the event that has shaped most of my life experiences was 9-11. I was in Kindergarten about twenty minutes outside of D.C and I remember my head teacher making us all sit on the floor in a corner quietly, the teachers were all talking scared and panicked and then suddenly parents were arriving and we were all going home. I didn’t completely grasp what was happening at the age of five but I do remember my mom’s panicked face, as we went to pick my brother up from middle school, since most of her family lived in and around New York City. The days after that don’t stand out to me as particularly significant other than a day off of school and a more somber mood from the teachers when we did return. However, in the years since the attack 9-11 and terrorism have become common place household terms and we’ve seen a sharp rise in our country in both religious and racial discrimination and patriotism as countless people decide to enlist or pursue a career related to security and national defense. I was lucky, no one I knew or loved was lost in the attacks, but even at a young age I remember feeling a strong sadness and personal loss when I
