The Causes And Impacts Of The World Trade Center

The attack on the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001, had negative health consequences beyond the staggering loss of life. The James L. Zadroga 9/11 Health & Compensation Act, signed into law by President Obama in 2010, established the World Trade Center Health Program that ensured those affected by 9/11 received monitoring and treatment services for 9/11 related health problems up until 2011 and reopened the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 to new applicants. The act was renewed in 2015 which included the reauthorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, and over 72,000 responders and survivors are allowed to get medical monitoring, treatment, and compensation for their injuries. However, while federally-funded health care and medical monitoring for injured and ill 9/11 responders and survivors has been made permenant, the compensation program will expire in 2020 even while expecting thousands more cancer cases from exposure to 9/11 toxins in the coming years. The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund has to be renewed to continue to honor the injured and ill responders, survivors and their families for their heroic act and how their health is being punished for it.

On September 11, 2001, nineteen terrorists took control of four planes and caused one of the biggest tragedies in American history. At 8:45 a.m. and 9:03 a.m., two of the hijacked planes crashed into the two towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, leaving hundreds trapped, dead, and injured. The towers were given unsustainable damage for they both soon collapsed, the South falling first within minutes, the North following a little more than an hour later. As those shocking events were happening, a third plane crashed into the west side of the Pentagon at 9:45 a.m. in Washington D.C., leading to half of the building’s ruin. The last plane –Flight 93– did not suffer as big as consequences as the other crashes, thanks to a group of

After the attacks on September 11, it tooks several months to get things mostly back to normal in New York. Lots of people worked very hard and long days to get the streets clean and get New York back to normal. To replace the two buildings after the attacks The One World Trade Center was built, and wa finished in 2014. This is now the tallest Building in the U.S today. There was also a memorial set up to honor the people who were killed in the attack in 2001, and the bombing that took place in

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 September 11, 2001 there was a major occurrence that changed New York City. It all started with four hijacked planes that took off at 8:45am on a Tuesday morning. As those planes took off, and were hijacked, they took down a major economic building, The World Trade Center. The Twin Towers were the key success to The World Trade Center complex, the North Tower stood at 1,268 feet and The South Tower stood at 1,362 feet high. The tallest buildings in New York City held 35,000 people each, along with 430 companies. This created an economic target, as each building represented economic power and freedom. The attack on the World Trade Center created an impact on the financial standing of America, a loss resulting in billions to the airline industry, increased spending due to domestic security and the constructing of a federal agency, Homeland Security. All of these were results of the tragic attack on September 11 on the US economy. The World Trade Center was a sign of freedom and economic power in America, there were many companies along with workers that suffered a tragic loss on this day making them lose their company along with workers as well. As the aftermath of September 11 progressed the US economy began to suffer as a result.

“... more American lives were lost on September 11, 2001, than on any other day in U.S. history: 2,996 people were killed -- 265 on the four hijacked planes, 125 at the Pentagon and 2,606 at the World Trade Center and surrounding area” (Goodman). The World Trade Center in Manhattan, and the Pentagon located in Washington D.C. were attacked on September 11, 2001, by American fuel loaded, hijacked by al-Qaeda which was lead by Osama bin Laden, planes. Many things were lost on September things Americans will never be able to get back such as: lives, freedom from war, and millions of dollars.

Watching the movie 102 minutes for the second time opened my eyes to the tragedy of 9/11 more than it did the first time. Being only six years old at the time of the incident, I didn’t truly understand the magnitude of the disaster until years later. The quality of the movie made it very clear to me just how painful being around the World Trade Center buildings during the attack was, not only for the people in the buildings that were hit, but for the people around as well. The feeling of helplessness that the bystanders must have felt in addition to the feeling of fear must have been unbearable. Seeing the footage of the attack in such clear video made it feel as though it was like a

On September 11, 2001, a terrible tragedy occurred which killed over three thousand people. This terrible tragedy is known as 9/11. 9/11 was a very tragic incident for many people. It affected many families and people because of the deaths of many. There were 19 terrorists who took part in this incident. Those people hijacked 4 airplanes and 2 of the 4 planes crashed into two World Trade Centers. Those two World Trade Centers are more commonly known as the Twin Towers. The Twin Towers are a set of 2 towers side by side which had gained much attention since the terrorist attack.However, one of the four airplanes did not hit the Twin Towers. Instead, that airplane hit the Pentagon. The Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department

According to CNN report on September 11th Terror Attacks Fast Facts, at the World Trade Center, 2,763 died after the two planes slammed into the twin towers. That figure includes 343 firefighters and paramedics, 23 New York City police officers and 37 Port Authority police officers who were battling to vacate the buildings and save the office workers who were stuck on higher floors. At the Pentagon, 189 people were died, including 64 on American Airlines Flight 77, the airliner that struck the building. On Flight 93, 44 people died when the plane crash-landed in Pennsylvania.

The World Trade Center (WTC) represented American pride and influnce. The twin towers stood 1,352 feet with 110 stories. It was finished in 1971. The morning of September 11 no one knew that four flights would be hijacked to take American lives and using two of them to bring down the World Trade Center. Yes there had been warnings that an aviation attack would happen but who knew when it would happen and how would it have been prevented. Flight 11 American Airlines (AA) hit the North Tower around 8:46 am between the

It happened roughly 16 years ago. It was the September 11th, 2001. We will remember this date as the day of the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. Four airliners were hijacked by terrorists. It was at 8:45 when the first plane hit the first tower block of the World Trade Center with almost 250 passengers aboard. The second plane, which hits the second tower followed for about 20 minutes later. In the end, the attacks caused almost 3,000 deaths and countless injured civilians. The date will remain in our minds as a horrific event full of grief and disbelief. While these attacks will be in our hearts forever, the effects are also felt in other ways. Politicians instantly endeavoured to fix political problems.

The central issue in this case is the impact that informal groups can have on public administration. On September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists, over 3000 people lost their lives. There was, and still is, no doubt that this event reached throughout America and touched each one of us. We can all remember where we were and what we were doing the very moment we found out about it. This case expressed the issues that many people had concerning what to do in the aftermath of this disaster, especially New York firefighters. They lost 343 of their colleagues and were determined not to leave any of them behind. It reminded me of the

The Icon rises in NYC skyline, One WTC: 104 stories tall, reaching approximately 1,776 feet. The Icon tower appears to be the most complex and expensive building ever constructed in the United States. This is the place where people come to work and remember what happened that day. Not only is this epic building filled with problems and innovative solutions but it’s a place where people come to work and remember what occurred in this same area. This was a challenge for architect David Childs, the founder and architect of this building. He said: “They knew that this building would have all eyes on it, and they needed new technical advances that set path for other buildings in the future.” The Icon building was built next to the 9/11 memorial which is where people come to honor those that died in the worst horrific terrorist attack in the history of US. Our future nation and the world needs to know that America is strong and will always remember that. The 9/11 memorial and museum has actual artifacts that were found after the debris of the fallen buildings. After more than a decade the building of One World Trade Center has been complete. “The most important is that we did rebuild and gave us a chance to build better,” said mayor of NYC. It is a birth of an icon but really live up to its promise to be stunning, safe and technologically advanced.

From its conception all the way to it’s destruction in 2001, the World Trade Center served as what it originally sought to do: serve as the economic centerpiece of the world. A decade after its construction, World Trade Center revenues had jumped to $204 million with demand for occupant space rising. Smaller businesses were being pushed out for bigger clients, eventually taking over entirely. Over 50,000 employees in 500 various businesses worked in the World Trade Center, not limited to banks, law firms, charities, and airlines (Harris). Tourism was also a fundamental part of the World Trade Center, with observation decks, stores, and restaurants located at the top of the towers.
