Terrorist Attacks on 9/11 Part 2

It was a cold January morning. The smell of fire was strong throughout the air and smoke filled the room. There was a strong, loud beeping sound throughout the house. It wasn’t just coming from one place, it was coming from multiple. My family hurries to find our animals as we call 911. I can’t be dreaming, is this real life?

As kids, we were all warned about the basics. Call 911 for emergencies, tell an adult if someone touches you or even tell the teacher when someone says a bad word. But what happens when something happens to the last person you’d think it would happen to.. Yourself. Who could you actually turn to, and when the time struck, how would the words flow out to confess the crime done to you. Or even worse, would the words come out at all? “Can you tell me what happened exactly?” “It's okay to talk to us, we’re here to help you, not hurt you.” The words kept ringing in my head. But was it okay to talk to them? Speak of the unspeakable with people... people I didn't know, nor trust? Being so young I had no idea what was going on. As my heart was racing,

"This is 911, what is your emergency?" A desperate eleven year old girl tried to answer the operator's question, but all I could manage were sobs.

She had given this up. All of it. The path of the witches, she had decided, was not hers to take. Wielders of the gift were meant to maintain balance in a world of evil. But those same protectors had fallen prey to greed, pride and an overbearing lust for power. Bethany was raised on the stories of covens going to war and even siding with the monsters they had sworn to destroy. Beth had promised never to choose a side. And to fulfill her promise, she rid herself of her powers. So why was she here, staring at the tattered notebook that contained not only her history of witchcraft but also her magic? Pale, slender fingers flipped through the makeshift grimoire. The nightmares hadn’t stopped. They wouldn’t. Bethany was normally conscious enough to dream lucidly, but the dreams were spiraling out of control. She was aware of the old phrase, “if you die in your dreams you die for real”. That’s what frightened her. Every night she died. Her lack of magic made her vulnerable to attack. The identity of the attacker was unknown. But not

It had just seemed like an ordinary day, but after that day had passed, the day of September 11th, was no where close to ordinary. It all started out as if it was any workday.

One single person caused this entire tragedy. The approach he took to carry out the massacre has never been seen before; however, that does not mean it can not be seen again. This situation could have never been imagined, just as 16 years ago 9/11 could not have been imagined. While there are far less deaths than 9/11, this is still the largest mass shooting in U.S. history. The U.S. responded with change following 9/11. Should the nation respond with change now? Is there anymore action the government can

On September 11, 2001, the WTC7 structure was damaged by debris when the nearby North Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed. The debris ignited fires, which continued to burn through the afternoon on the lower floors of the structure.

The men did not stand out; they often wore polos and khakis, lived in average apartments, and ate out at restaurants. A few of the men lived in the United States for years and even took flying lessons while they were here. Terrorists of the Al-Qaeda group that carried out the attacks shows that they are carefully hand picked and are not afraid to die while causing as much destruction as possible.

It was just a normal day in my grade five class doing our work and having fun. Our teacher decided to move onto a subject that involved our birthdays. We were supposed to make a line with our birthdays in order.” September ten! “I shouted. One student was shocked.

I ran up to my room and grab a piece of paper and pen and drew what I thought would be fun to use. From my room I heard Maddie screaming, "Water Park Party Princesses." Then I heard a big crash which sounded like glass.

This is my story of becoming an actress, well technically i’m just going to NYC but still it could happen, i can’t even wait one more hour it’s 2 am and our plane leaves at 6am i can’t go to sleep i’m just too happy i’m actually going to New York City I’ve packed and repacked 5 times to make sure i have everything i want everything to be perfect on my journey to New York (my best friend Emma and my mom and i are the ones that are going in case you're wondering)

On September 11, 2001, the Islamic extremist group, al-Qaeda, hijacked four airplanes and spreaded out against targets in the United States. “Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Over 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks” (“9/11 Attack”), which caused the U.S. horrific sorrow.

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.

IT WAS ABOUT ELEVEN O’CLOCK in the morning, mid October, with the sun not shining and a look of hard wet rain in the clearness of the foothills. I was wearing my powder-blue suit, with dark blue shirt, tie and display handkerchief, black brogues, black wool socks with dark blue clocks on them. I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn’t care who knew it. I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars.

I will always remember that moment. I was resting in a chair in the dining room at 8:40am of September 11, 2001. My family were gathered in the dining room for an early breakfast. My brother, Alex, was relaxing in the chair beside me. Also, my father, Chuck, was at the head of the table drinking his coffee with a touch of hazelnut and my mother, Judy, was seated next to him. In the room to the side of the dining room, the TV was powered on. Finally, at 8:45 a voice rang throughout the house.
