The Bombing Of The Twin Towers

The attacks of 9/11 was an act of terrorism that happened in New York. Two airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, one into the Pentagon in Virginia, and another one crashed into a field in Pennsylvania intended to strike in Washington D.C. Three thousand civilian lives were lost that day. It was said by Al-Qaeda group, Osama Bin Laden that the purpose of 9/11 terror was to take revenge for the United States. The typical morning which turned out the historical tragedy terror in the world, created victims by the terror, that have disturbed the peace everyone in the world. It was the start of revenge from United States to Al-Qaeda.

To the public eye, the 9/11 attacks were unprecedented and the overwhelming fear swarmed the nation. Across the nation families, businessmen, students, as well as every other member of society witnessed the emergency news broadcasting the video of the planes flying into the Twin Towers. This attack had especially affected those with loved ones living in New York and this fear manifested itself into our daily lives and those living in metropolitan areas feared a second terrorist attack. However, hope had reappeared in the form of unified forces including first-responders, medical teams, as well as local and international groups working together to provide aid and comfort to the victims and their families. Despite staring at the face of danger,

Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the United States (US) government has focused on terrorism as the biggest threat to stability and national security in the homeland. There have been controversial laws enacted which tested an individual’s Constitutional rights versus the security of the country as a whole, military engagements in foreign countries designed to stop terrorism overseas before reaching the homeland, and a number of law enforcement and government initiatives implemented to identify and investigate terrorists before they commit acts of terrorism or pursue material support activities in support of terrorism. Federal law enforcement agencies have been criticized recently for failing to predict when homegrown violent extremists

There are many important events in American history. Between the roaring twenties and the Wild West there is so much to choose from. One of the most recent and most tragic events in American history were the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Hundreds of lives were lost, leading to extreme reformation of the United States surveillance and homeland security systems. The 9/11 terrorist attack was an important event in America’s history that has had lasting effects on American society.

On September 2011 there was a horrifying terrorist attack in Manhattan. Two planes crashed into the twin towers one after the other. The first plane hit higher creating a large hole in the building and burning upwards. Then shortly after the second plane hit lower and at a faster speed leaving an even larger hole in the second building then it started to burn upwards from the point of impact. The fires in the buildings went out about an half an hour after they were hit.(Is what the officials say about 9/11)

The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the downing of an airplane by passengers on September 11, 2001 left many Americans reeling with fear and feeling vulnerable. The American people no longer felt safe and protected on their homeland soil. It was a violation of security that united not only the American people, but countries around the world. Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, then President, George W. Bush, proposed the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Prior to this proposal, the responsibility to protect the nation’s security fell to over 100 different government agencies. Not one of these agencies saw homeland security as their primary goal. The newly created

This is very similar at how other American citizens were willing to help after the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. Christopher Peterson and Nansook Park, writers of A Positive Psychology Perspective On Post-9/11 Security, says, “Our ongoing study of character strengths has found that post-9/11, people reported that they were more likely to display the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity”(Peterson). Which is a clear reminder of how people acted during and after 9/11. As a small example of how Americans went on that day to help each other James Johnson, the editor of Community Preparedness and Response to Terrorism, writes, “At that moment of great national peril… hundreds of firefighters and police officers courageously sacrificed their lives rescuing survivors at the World Trade Center; …and millions of Americans line up to donate blood, supplies, and money to assist in the rescue efforts”(Johnson 163). This aspect of that day reminds us how many heroes were made just in that effort to help out. Every ounce of blood donated and every last run firefighters and police officers alike, made to go into those tumbling towers to save at least one more person will not be forgotten. It was a heroic act to overcome fear and to do the littlest of this to help the victims. This is greatly reflected in Let the Great World Spin just by how Gloria takes in Jazzlyn’s children. As she sees them being dragged into the social workers car and is asked if she knows the kids, she

During the Cold War and the War on Terror, the United States of America used the media to depict Soviet and Middle Eastern people as foreign enemies that posed a threat to U.S. national security. The bombing of the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001 changed the lives of millions of Muslims forever because they began to be targeted by U.S. media corporations. Media corporations started to depict Muslims in the Middle East as terrorists to persuade the American public to wage the War on Terror in the Middle East in order to stop the spread of terrorism and homeland threats, like 9/11, from occurring again. However, even though media corporations portrayed the War on Terror as a justification to defeat terrorism and to protect the

The two terrorist attacks that I will examine are the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center that took place on February 26, 1993 and The Boston Marathon Bombing took place on April 15. 2013. I will also be providing an overview of the terrorist attack at the World Trade Center and the Boston Marathon Bombing. I will explain the lessons learned from each attack in my own opinion. I will also describe what protective measures were taken during the attacks to prevent further casualties and injuries.

Since the catastrophe of the Twin Towers, Muslims have been perceived and treated as the “enemy.” Not only are Muslims in the United States facing this difficulty, but also the Muslims across the globe. They deal with verbal and physical abuse, as well as damaged and vandalized property. And on top of it all, they all live in constant fear. Many people in my life have gone through these hardships many times. Two years ago I was able to witness what being treated unjustly was like. The Imam (priest, preacher, religious leader) of my community is a very well-known and respected man across the state. In a span of a few years, he has made a name for himself. He is known for being incredibly generous, humble, and a great soccer player. Fourteen

On September 11, 2001 an Islamic terrorist organization named al-Qaeda committed a devastating and scaring act of terrorism towards the United States. There was four different attacks that occurred which were carried out by four passenger airliners that were hijacked. Two of the attacks took place in New York City (World Trade Center’s North and South Towers), one was at the Pentagon in Arlington Country (Virginia), and the other occurred in a field in Shanksville (Pennsylvania), which was thought to have been intended for the Capitol or White House. These attacks were carried about a group name al-Qaeda which was led by Osama bin Laden, who was latter killed after being captured by the United States.

I think that Berne means that before the 9/11 incident occurred the Twin Towers was always occupied with many people those who were workers, tourist and its outside surroundings. Being one of New York Cities famous attraction sitting in the middle of manhattan bustling streets, may people were always there no matter what. After the tragic incident, that caused many people to lose their lives, loved ones knowing that they will never return or ever wake up the next morning seeing the beautiful World Trade Center. Other people would replace the absence of those who lives were lost with their emotional curiosity filling up the empty space. The ones who once wondered "how and why did this have to happen?"

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks cause America and the whole world to change in a great way. The people in the United State would say, that the changes cause by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 made United State be less free. This terrorist attacks have cause America to be less dependent on overseas fuel. The United State has spent over $52.6-billion to make sure that the United State is safe and is better guarded from any further terrorist attacks. The sad reality is that the United State is so far in debt that back in 2001 the United State was about $16.7 trillion. The September 11, 2001 cause the states buildings to increase the security, people have to have a valid ID to come into most State Buildings. If the person is

The September 11, 2001 attacks were a series of four terrorist attacks. These attacks were launched by the Islamic terrorist group al-Queda. But let me start from the beginning. On September 11, 2001 starting at 8:46 a.m. ending at 10:28 a.m. in New York City and Washington D.C. terrorist by the Islamic group al-Queda four passenger airliners were hijacked. This was done by the 19 al-Queda terrorists so they could be flown into buildings in suicide attacks. Two of these planes, from Americana Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Within two hours, both towers collapsed with a lot of debri and the fires caused a lot of buildings to collapse in the WTC. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77 was crashed into the Pentagon which is the headquarters of the United Sates Department of Defense.

The world trade center bombing of 1993, was a terrorist act orchestrated by Ramzi Youseff, (b. Abdul Basit Mahmoud Abdul Karim) a Kuwaiti national with ties to Iraq, Pakistan but considers himself a Palestinian. He spent time in the training camps of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan where he mastered his skills in explosives; he has traveled the world as a Jihadist performing terrorist acts.
