The Aftermath Of 9 / 11 : The Attacks Of September 11

At 8:46am United Airline flight #11 crashed right into floors 93-99 killing everybody on board and hundreds of people in the tower. And at 9:03am a second United Airlines plane crashed into the floors 78-84 of the second tower. Also on that day, a plane attacked

A plane, American Airlines Route 11, with 92 passengers on board, was hijacked by four Arab men with knives, led by Mohammed Atta. On the ground heard the air traffic controller them say, "Do not something stupid. There will not be put to any. We have other planes. "

America has experienced some events that has made an impact on all of our lives. Take the attack on 9/11 for example; terrorists attacked the United States using planes. They hijacked four airplanes in mid-flight. The terrorists flew two of the planes into two skyscrapers at the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact caused the buildings to catch fire and collapse. Another plane destroyed part of the Pentagon (the U.S. military headquarters) in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Officials believe that the terrorists on that plane intended to destroy either the White House or the U.S. Capitol. Passengers was the plane fought the terrorists and prevented them from reaching their goal. In all, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks. This attack reminded many people of the attack of Pearl Harbor. Both were very catastrophic events that changed U.S. History and America in a way that makes us realize that we need to be strong.

The attacks were conducted on a Tuesday morning, September 11th, 2001. Flight 11 was crashed into floors 93-99 of the World Trade Center’s North Tower. United Airlines Flight 175 was hijacked and crashed into floors 77-85 of the South tower of the World Trade Center. 343 firefighters (FDNY) personnel were killed battling the blazes caused by the massive explosions of jet fuel. Later that morning, Flight 77 was crashed into the west section of the Pentagon, a major military operations center in Washington, DC.

On September 9, 2001 at 8:19 A.M flight attendants aboard Flight 11 alerted the airport that the plane had been hijacked by Mohammed Atta with the help of a few other passengers. (2) At 8:46 A.M. Flight 11 was crashed into the North Tower directly into floors 93-99. (1) The world was aghast as news coverage covered the event live.

America has faced so many tragedies in its time that have helped shaped who we are today as a country. A few of examples are The Holocaust, The Black Plague, World War One, World War Two, The Slave Trade and Sandy Hook Shooting. Many other major events have occurred in the United States. All of our major events have somehow brought us together to be united again after the tragedy. I think a major event that has shown that tragedy bring Americans together is the 9/11 attacks. They were definitely hard on America, but the end we all became more connected because of it.

On a clear Tuesday morning of September 11, 2001, America changed forever. Terrorists crashed two planes into the World Trade Center towers in New York City. Another plane was crashed into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. There was also a fourth plane which was most likely headed for the White House that crashed into a field in Western Pennsylvania. This devastating event changed people’s lives forever. Thousands of people were killed along with many who were injured. Some of the survivors of this tragedy suffer post-traumatic stress along with other complications. Militants associated with the Islamic extreme group ‘Al-Qaeda’ planned to hijack four airliners and threatened them with suicide attempts against the United States. When the

At 7:59 that morning the first hijacked plane, American Airlines Flight 11 took off. Shortly after, United Airlines Flight 175 took off at 8:15 am. At around 8:19 the passengers and crew

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.

September 11, 2001 two airplanes crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. They crashed a third airplane into the Pentagon while the fourth airplane was crashed in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people died that day.

(History.com staff, 1-3 ) At 7:59 A.M one of the hijacked planes, American Airlines flight 11 took off from Boston’s Logan International Airport en route to Los Angeles. At 8:14AM, another plane, United Airlines flight 175 also took off from Boston. (9/11 Memorial, 3-4 ) At 8:46 AM the hijacked American airlines flight 11 crashed into floors 93-99 of the North tower of the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York. The impact from the flight killed all the passengers on board, and hundreds inside the building. (CNN, 1) The second flight, flight 175 crashed into floors 75-85 of the World Trade Center South tower shortly after. A third plane crashed into the Pentagon in Washington D.C a half hour later, killing 59 aboard the plane and 125 military and civilian personnel inside the building. (9/11 Memorial, 5-7 ) Both the North and South towers ultimately collapsed, killing thousands more civilians and emergency responders. “I was in utter disbelief of the amount of people who died in the towers, and to make matters even more devastating, I personally knew several of them.” Merry recounts.

My research will show that the events of 9/11 including the hijacking of the planes and crashing into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was all an inside job and not the act of terrorism. The World Trade Center was bombed as well as Building 7 and the Pentagon to keep something hidden. The structure of the World Trade Center and the claim that the fire started after the planes hit does not correlate with how the buildings collapsed.

There were two main events which affected people’s lives easily. Those events were devastating. Many people lost lives, homes, some starved, and other things which changed people’s life. Those two dates are still remembered. On December 7, 1941 the attack on pearl harbor and on September 11, 2001 was the 9/11 attack. Still devastated for what happened and sad for all those who died.

On December 7th 1941 at 7:48 a.m. the US citizens woke up with a fear of terror orchestrated by 353 Imperial Japanese aircraft launched from six aircraft carriers damaging all eight U.S. Navy battleships. 2,403 were killed and a thousand more wounded. It was later known as the Pearl Harbor attacks. Japan initially intended the attack as a preventive action. Conversely, it had the opposite effect and US entered the world war II in 1941. Sixty years later, on a Tuesday morning of the same month, September 11 2001 Americans woke up again with a new shock. This time with four civil airplanes hijacked by 19 suicide passengers destroying two of the major buildings that represented America’s strength and monopole. But if the 2nd world war ended six years after Pearl Harbor attacks the war against terrorism is already more than 16 years old without any true improvement since the enemy is invisible and omnipresent. 9/11 attacks became a turning point not only in American history but also the whole world’s. In fact, the 9/11 attacks considerably affected US’s society, government, foreign policies and citizens along with raising a big controversy that shaked the US’s politics.

On September 11th, 2001, millions around the world crowded around televisions across the globe and watched the horrific scenes of terrorism that had struck New York City, Washington, D.C and Pennsylvania on that ill-fated and now infamous morning. Suddenly, in a crowded room everyone felt alone. As the Twin Towers vanished before our very eyes, so did our sense of security and protection. We watched with shock and horror, disbelief and grief as the images were repeatedly flashed before our eyes. There was no escape. Every television channel and every radio station constantly reminded us of the tragedy that we will never forget. Even today, over three years later, I can see the images and remember the desperate pleas for help of people
