The two of them crashed the biggest towers in the U.S which are the World Trade Center in New York. On that day 3,000 people died. These occasions changed American’s economy, American culture and the relationship with other countries.

September 11. 2001 was a major turning point in American History, and its political and social impact can still be felt today. The tragic event shook the entire country on the civilian and federal level. Before 9/11 many did not think that a plan of terrorism such as that of Osama Bin Laden's would be able to come to fruition because they had great trust in American security. The destruction came as a wakeup call to the federal government and American citizens themselves. National Security became the first thing people thought of when they traveled, and civilians looked to the government for reassurance that they were safe. The federal government's plan of action was to pass a series of acts that would go on to create the Department of Homeland Security and Transportation Security Association. Along with the creation of more strict security measures came the question of "who is a terrorist?" within the country. The formation of the DHS, TSA, and increase of Islamophobia are some examples of the lasting effects that 9/11 had on the country.

The events of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 changed not just the American way of life, but the way in which terrorism will forever be viewed. Moments after the first plane changed our way of life by crashing into the first tower, it also changed the way people will live their lives for many generations from that point forward. For the first time on Continental United States soil, America was under siege.

That day dramatically changed our view on foreign policy, and caused us to get involved in many ongoing wars with Middle Eastern countries. Additionally, the government changed its view on immigration. Due to the fear of another attack by foreign people, the “war on immigration” came about and caused a surge of American people to believe that immigrants should be deported. Lastly, security at airports, malls, and almost every public venue was entirely redesigned for our protection, but what the government believes is good for the people, isn’t always so great after all. Most people believe that America grew back stronger because of the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, but it has only brought us away from the importance of simplicity in our daily

Today in America you can see that we are a pluralist nation by simply observing the diversity of beliefs and practice. However, within our society there are some religions that come with extreme stereotypes in certain situations, such as Islam. Ever since the tragedy of the Twin Towers on 9/11 stereotypes have gotten more extreme and spread around at an accelerated rate. “Pluralism is not a birthright in America; it’s a responsibility . . . People have fought for pluralism. “ (Patel 28). Patel had the right idea because tolerance is learned and due to the aftermath of 9/11 Americans are still unjustly wary of Muslims.

The bombing of the Twin Towers turned America’s focused toward the Middle East. The War on Terrorism began in earnest. This war has brought about more than one conflict. As a nation, the United States is unique. The government is not run by any particular regime or religion, there is freedom. Yet, this is our unique brand of freedom. The Middle East is full of peoples with their own way of life that do not necessarily agree with the way we see freedom.

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

This day impacted our nation and communities. 9/11 made us aware that anything bad could happen like this again, so we became a more secure nation. Especially at airports, we have scanners, police dogs, and extra security to check every passenger before boarding a plane.

“... 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).

There is little doubt that the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11 drastically changed America’s sense of security in recent years. Yet the country is facing another kind of threat, one that is not entirely different than the dangers of terrorism at a global scale: domestic terrorism. At its core, domestic terrorism differs from any other type of terrorism in the sense that those who carry it out are citizens or permanent residents of a given country and who inflict violence and intimidation against their fellow citizens or permanent residents in the pursuit of political aims (Sharpe, 2000, p. 606). In that sense, domestic terrorism may also be called homegrown terrorism.

The first two planes, each fully boarded with passengers, were each crashed into the Twin Towers. The first of the two planes crashed high up on the towers. The first plane collided with the North Tower at around 8:45 AM, and many thought it was an accident. It was not until the second plane collided with the South Tower around 9:00 AM. At this point, people knew for certain it was a terrorist attack. The third plane, however, did not attack New York. This plane, again a fully boarded commercial airline, crashed into the Pentagon building in Arlington, Virginia, around 9:40 AM. The fourth and final plane crashed into a vacant field in western Pennsylvania after the passengers began to fight back. These four attacks collectively killed close to 3,000 people- 2,753 in New York, 184 people in the Pentagon, and 40 people on the fourth flight.
