The Twin Towers

The attack of 9/11 was not just an attack on the United States of America but the entire world. Not just the twins tower were attacked, but also the pentagon was attacked. These people just went on another hard day of work, doing their important jobs. The sad thing was that

Just when New York's future seemed uncertain the Twin Towers came to the rescue. The buildings were huge the North tower was 1,368 feet tall and the South was 1,362 feet tall. In nice weather you can see 45 miles out. They both weighed 250,000 ton and had 99 elevators! The buildings had 21,800 windows and enough concrete to build a sidewalk from New York City to Washington. The tragic day all started when terrorists hijacked four planes and aimed them for buildings. They first aimed two planes at the Twin Towers. Then they aimed one at the Pentagon. Then they aimed the last one for the White House, fortunately people on the plane fought back and crashed the plane in a field in Pennsylvania. The Towers did the most damage when they fell they

Childhood immunization is an important factor in today’s life, which is why it is important to be aware of the facts. After reading two articles, I came up with the conclusion that Ronald Bailey’s article “Refusing Vaccination Puts Others at Risk” presents a stronger argument than Sandy Reider article “The Science Is Not Settled.” One reason Ronald Bailey’s article is stronger is that Bailey has more authority than Reider. Sandy Reider who is a MD, general practitioner and primary care doctor practiced medicine in Vermont.

However, SOX was not the end of the story. 2008 ushered in, what is now

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 lives of those that witnessed the crumbling of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001 will never be the same. There were multiple attacks that happened on this day, but the main attacks were in New York City. The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center were one of the most tragic events to happen in New York City, but there have been things said about George Bush and him knowing about the attacks and that the government was behind it.

September 11th of 2001 is a day in history that will be remembered forever. What was first thought to be a freak accident turned into a horrific nightmare for our country, America was under attack. On the morning of the attacks a group of al Qaeda terrorists took control of four commercial jetliners headed to California and purposively crashed two into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. The last plane fell into a Pennsylvania field never reaching its final destination, The White House. These attacks on the United States were formulated by the Islamic culture that has been planning this for many years. Shortly after these Twin Towers fell, the United States started mourning for the loss of those citizens killed in the violent

The Twin waterfalls that are placed in the ground where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood serve as a memorial to the events that took place on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The Architect of these twin waterfalls, Michael Arad, wanted to create a memorial that was “stoic and defiant, but also quiet and respectful.” Arad explained. “I didn’t want a design that felt the need to scream loudly. I felt the site was frightened with so much history, anything we say here is amplified a thousand-fold.” The project that Arad had in mind was no easy feat, it took roughly 6 years to complete due to numerous architectural obstacles that the workers had to conquer. This mechanical marvel is able to send water from the bottom of the waterfall back to the top at an astonishing rate of 24,000 gallons per minute. However, gusts of wind cause turbulence on top of the water so the engineers needed to create a system that is not only strong, but also able to variate the power given to these pumps in order to maintain that serene aesthetic look of the water smoothly flowing down the waterfall. This mechanical marvel also boasts filters to take sediment out, UV lights to kill bacteria, and chemical additives to prevent the water from becoming polluted. Every minute detail has been thought of by architect Michael Arad and landscape architect Peter Walker. For example, trees were placed surrounding these waterfalls in order to comfort and calm those who come to this spot to mourn.

The fourth Gospel, book of John, has been attributed to the apostle John (Harris, 2011, pg. 232). The apostle John was the son of Zebedee, and brother of James which are fishermen. They created a circle, including Paul and followed Jesus closely throughout all his transgressions. It was not until years later, leading churchmen accepted as John’s composition (Harris, 2011, pg. 233).

The Twin Towers represented the financial standing of America. As each building collapsed, the economy collapsed with it, leaving America to clean up the mess that this attack had created. Even though this was not the only attack dealing with

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

People knew right away that this was a terrorist attack and that they had to help evacuate the towers quickly as possible because they knew that eventually it will collapse, but they figure out that they are going to struggle with the people who are above where the airplane hit.They would have to figure out a way because the airplane was blocking the way of the exit. Around 10:05, “The south tower of the World Trade Center collapses, plummeting into the streets below. A massive cloud of dust and debris forms and slowly drifts away from the building.”(CNN). Many people died within this tower everyone was in shock to see how quickly the tower collapse and how many people lost their lives. Firefighters had to move quickly and help people out that were stuck in the North tower before it also collapses. A few minutes later and, “The World Trade Center 's north tower collapses from the top down as if it were being peeled apart, releasing a tremendous cloud of debris and smoke.”(CNN). This terrorist attack, “killed 2,996 people and injured more than 6,000 others. These immediate deaths included 265 on the four planes, 2,606 in the World Trade Center and in the surrounding area, and 125 at the Pentagon”(Google). From this attack many people who didn 't do anything had to phase a tragic time and had to lose their lives.

My dad used to work right next door from the twin towers and when we used to visit I would be so happy to see it as it was cool looking. I remember. I was in school when we received the bad news that the towers were attacked. My family was very emotional as my father worked there and had many friends also in the towers. I could not believe my eyes on what I was seeing. How could someone destroy such a beautiful piece of freedom? I was think about my dad the whole time. Thank God my father survived that horrible day as i was very devastated watching. That morning my dad wore a black shirt and his khakis. When he came home he was all grey from the World Trade Center. My dad had blood all over his pants from the people jumping from the buildings. My dad was in shock and coughing up debris for months. It was a very though time for my dad but we got threw it as a

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 was a beautiful, sunny morning at the World Trade Center in New York when things went from good to bad extremely quick. At 8:46 AM American Airlines flight 11, coming from Boston, crashed into the side of the north tower. This was the first of four planes that were hijacked on 9/11. Most people who witnessed the first collision thought it was only a small commuter plane that accidentally crashed. However, seventeen minutes later, the second plane, United Airlines flight 175, also coming from Boston, crashed into the south tower. Everyone knew at this point that this was no accident. The United States was now under attack. Each tower was greatly damaged, and because of the large amounts of fuel in
