On September 16, President Bush declared: “Never in anybody’s thought process about how to protect America did we ever think that the evil-doers would fly not one, but four commercial aircraft into precious U.S. targets-never” (Griffin 131). 9/11 really impacted the lives of Americans because it hit so close to home. Industries and the government have changed policies and formed new agencies to shield the lives of the people. Airport security has changed tremendously. Cockpits are now locked and can only be unlocked by the pilot inside. New luggage item regulations and bans have been passed such as knives, quantity of liquids, TSA Pat-Downs, and bomb jokes. The TSA or “Transportation Security Act” did not exist until after 9/11. Relatives and friends of fellow New Yorkers worked in the Twin Towers every day. Pedestrians walked by the towers every day and admired them in the city’s skyline. The moment they were gone, along with the people, America changed. The country was quiet and in sorrow.

How 9/11 Changed America On the morning of September 11 2001, terrorists hijacked four planes from American Airlines and United Airlines with the goal of ruining the U.S economy. Two of the planes achieved their goal and targeted both towers of the World Trade Center along with the Pentagon, resulting in the death of approximately 2,975 people.

When “9/11” occurred, it changed American lives and shaped how we live and know life as it is today. Thing would never be the same in points of access, such as airports, military bases, local and even schools. As the years went on, the younger generation understood and accepted what was happening. Just a year before 9/11, you could access military bases with only a driver's license, and walk up with your loved ones to the point they boarded the actual airplane. Are these new strict measurements that we’ve grown so accustomed to necessary? Many will say no, and even call it overkill, but it may just be what we’ve needed all along, instead of relying on a false sense of security.

Just like every Tuesday, Jane got up and ready for work. She got up at her usual time, about six AM, had a cup of coffee before she got her kids up and ready for school.
