The Twin Towers Of The World Trade Center

Many People are still affected emotionally by September 11 2001 today. A huge number of people are still facing mental health issues. They are trying very hard to forget about the past and move on with there every day life. Many still fear that there might be another terror attack in the United States. The American psychological association found that people living in New York who have experienced the World Trade Center attack are showing more mental health problems more than any other place. Many people feel that we should honor our love one and the police and fireman that lost their lives because of 9/11. The National September 11 memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center has been established to honor the dead and respect the historic site of America’s tragic loss. The memorial was opened on September 11 2011. It consist of two huge pools with the nation’s largest human=made waterfalls located on the site between the two fallen towers. The name of those who died at the WTC, pentagon, and in Pennsylvania aboard flight 93 . The Museum presents a gallery that tells the story of 9/11. It contains artifacts, photographs and multimedia display.

A lot of people did not believe what the government’s story about the attacks. The government claimed that it was true but some people still did not believe them. Other people believed them and respected all the people who died. In between the two waterfalls is a Museum and it has pictures and more facts about all the attacks on the day. It also has some remains and other things that other people had in the museum and it honors people who lived and died. People who risked their life they either survived or did not survive. Many people died on September, 11 2000 and these memorials honor these people that will never be

The 9/11 Memorial is one of the biggest man-made waterfalls in North America. The 9/11 looks like a square pool with another pool but smaller with water running down the walls, to make it a waterfall. There are two pools that look identical that are in the same spot where the towers were. The twin towers, and the memorial are in New York City. The walls of the pools are made out of black granite. Each pool is about an acre in size and holds up to 480,000 of recycled water. 9/11 Memorial is not only a beautiful pool itself but is also surrounded by trees.

The 911 memorial has many gorgeous features. the memorial takes up 8 of the 16 acres of the memorial and museum. The actual memorial is 2 waterfall pools, each equaling 1 acre in size. Engraved into the pools are each and every single name of the people who died in all of the terrorist attacks on September 19, 2001. Surrounding the plaza is 400 trees, in all different shapes and sizes. The plaza, because of all of the trees surrounding the monument, is the most eco-friendly environment in the world, because of the beautiful design, the memorial is very touching.

Two waterfalls were placed where the Twin Towers once laid. These waterfalls were places here

On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed, 400 of that 3,000 people were firefighters and police officers, in the terrorist attack at the World Trade Center in NYC, at the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and in a plane crash near Shanksville, PA.( 11 facts) The World Trade Center was built by American architects Minoru Yamasaki in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. (9-11-01) The World trade Center was located in Manhattan, NY. The Twin Towers were called the “Twin Towers” because they had the exact same everything, from how many stories they were to had they were built. The Twin Towers costed 1.1 million dollars before they collapsed.(how much were the twin towers) In the Twin Towers there were 430 companies in just one tower.

The 9 / 11 attack on the world trade center proves to be one of the most documents events in history. The actual footage caught on the cameras can bring a person to tears. Four airplanes were hijacked and two of the planes were crashed in each building causing them both to collapse. Each plane was carrying ten thousand gallons of jet fuel. Most of the acknowledgements I have seen growing up focus on mainly the people who were inside the building at the time of the collapse. Family and friends being called by love ones who knew they were not going to make it out the building alive. The graphic footage of watching people jump out the windows, so they would not burn to death by the two thousand degree flames pulls tremendously

Today I am finding disaster and the disaster I have chosen is 9/11. I have chosen this because this is the first natural disaster I thought of. The two websites I am using are CNN.COM and HISTORY.COM. I chose these websites because they were the 2 websites that would most likely have all the information I need. This disaster occurred in the tower of world trade center in New York City on September 11th 2001.

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

The World Trade Center Attack as labeled as one of the worst disaster in American history. The vagueness of whom to charge for the tragedy worsens the casted gloom of that day. Four commercial jetliners destroyed the world-famous Twin Towers shed with bloods and thousands of dead bodies. The whole nation was shocked and in chaos; every move held crucially, especially by the media for the dissemination of information.

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

When most people think of the world trade center they immediately think of the attack that occurred September 11th 2001. Most forget that was not the first time that the world trade center’s had come under attack before. “The February 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City marked the beginning of an ugly new phase of terrorism involving the indiscriminate killing of civilians. ’ Like the saran gas attack on the Tokyo subway in March 1995 and the bombing of the Alfred E. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April 4995, the World Trade Center bombing was

The official 9/11 Memorial opened to the public. Construction was finally complete after a decade of conflicts over city planning and funding for an exhibit. Located in the same exact footprint of the North and South Twin Towers now reside two memorial pools, an acre in size each. Called ‘Reflecting Absence,’ these pools are beautiful, architectural masterpieces. Upon approaching the pool, one notices the smooth, ash colored metal that surrounds the peripheries and composes the center of the pool. Each side of the pool’s perimeter is filled with the names of the victims who perished that day. Hollowed out, the names are grouped together based on what floor they were on, what battalion they served in, or what unit they were a part of. In addition to these victims, the names of those from D.C., Pennsylvania, and the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing are included on the pools. As guests glide their hand down the name panel, they encounter an open gap between the panel and the ground foundation where they can touch the water being circulated in the pool. A few feet away from the panel towards the center of the pool, the water falls off in hundreds of individual streams into a much larger pool and eventually cascades again as one current of water into a seemingly bottomless

The destruction of the twin towers graphically illustrated the dark side of globalisation. Our airways, ways of life, and overall views on foreign people have greatly changed from that event. Fortunately, they failed to provoke our societies into closing their borders and hunkering down at home and instead we reacted with a greater willingness to engage internationally. The attack gave birth to an unprecedented universal coalition of revulsion. That consensus fragmented over Iraq. Divisions over Afghanistan, Libya and Syria show that it has not yet been rebuilt. I think the world has become weaker, but not by much.

With the benefits of globalization, terrorism seems to only serve as an initiative for all nations to unite their governments under the safe umbrella of one global village. Since the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center buildings, the world has been watching America, its citizens and government to gauge our response and the steps we would take to counteract and prevent such acts of terrorism from occurring again. The reaction of our government was to screen and scrutinize foreigners entering our country more closely but it has also cause our government to implement new laws that contradict and violate the constitutional laws of its’ citizens in the interest of national security. While many may disagree with the tactics used
