Wall Street Bombing Research Paper

There was a high school student that proved that it was a tourist attack because his dad was on the plane when it was high jacked by tourist and the students dad got in touch with his son while they were being high jacked and told him that tourist high jacked the plane and that he probably won’t make it home to his family but to tell the rest of the family that he loved them.

September 11, 2001 is a day that will forever be remembered by all Americans; it was the day in which 2,823 people were killed due to the terrorist attacks performed by the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. Up to this day there are many people who do not know all the facts about this day and do not even know the number of plane crashes that occurred due to Al-Qaeda’s terrorist plans. Al-Qaeda is a terrorist organization that was started by Osama Bin Laden. This terrorist group is a racist organization whose philosophy is described as centralization of decision and decentralization of execution. This group has admitted they are responsible for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. They stated that the United States was actively oppressing and

Airports did the best that they could with this shock and made as many changes as fast as they could. The airport said, “We went from 0 to 100 overnight in terms of what we had to do for security'" (Thackeray 1). The next couple of days the security workers had there work cut out for them and had to work vigorously to achieve what authority was telling them. They did the best job that they could with the time they had. Many people with scheduled flights were having trouble after this attack because the airport was in a frenzy and trying there hardest to keep things in order. According to some workers at the airport, "...some terminals at the three airports were deluged with passengers, most of whom encountered only frustration" (Levy 1). Frustration is expected with all the chaos that was going on with people trying to stick to a schedule, and also with workers trying to obey the rules. Ms. Zbinden has frustration as she spends a lot of money on trips to the airport,"'It cost me $40 to get here,' Ms. Zbinden said. 'I'm not going to keep going back and forth" (2). Ms. Zbinden was spending to much money to keep going to the airport and then having the flight be canceled so she shared her frustration with the workers. Sadly the workers can only follow rules not change them. With this big of an attack the airports decided to have backup undercover cops int he airport. An excellent idea from

At 9:03 a.m. a massive bomb resting inside a rented Ryder truck destroyed half of the nine story federal building in downtown Oklahoma City. It also claimed the lives of 169 men, women, and children, while injuring hundreds

The unfortunate event that took place on April 19, 1995 was a day that would change history throughout the nation in an unimaginable way due to the tragic circumstances that unfortunately unfolded. The Oklahoma City Bombing impacted the United States greatly because something of such devastation had never before occurred in this way up until that point in American history. This in fact would be an event that no one anticipated, no one knew anything of, but it would certainly be an eye opening day and a call for change.

Timothy McVeigh packed a Ryder truck full of five thousand pounds of explosives. These explosives were made out of fertilizer. He parked the truck in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. He lit a five minute fuse when he parked the truck, and he left. He was about six blocks from the building when the explosion happened. The explosion destroyed a nine story concrete and granite building. It also destroyed or damaged nearly 300 nearby buildings, and completely destroyed the vehicles across the street. People in the building survived by diving underneath their desks. This explosion could be felt up to fifty five miles away.

That a homegrown, American terrorist named Timothy McVeigh drove the car and even parked the car at the Ryder trucking in the handicap zone right in front of Murrah Building.“The bomb claimed 168 innocent lives. “The blast killed 168 people, including 19 children. More than 500 people were injured.Timothy J. McVeigh and Terry L. Nichols were convicted of the attack.”These explosion was so bad so many people had died, so many families were upset. But there was this one family that was the most upset.There was a daycare in the building and only one kid got hurt sadly. Because of this horrible explosion a two-year-old little boy had died. The hate and the horrible thoughts of this bad explosion will always be

At 12:01, with the echo of the last bell lingering in the air, the one-hundred pounds of dynamite hidden in the wagon exploded (Andrews, 2014). Shrapnel encompassed the immediate area; people were dropping everywhere. The structures nearby shook as the shock wave slammed through the exterior walls. The cloth awnings that overlooked the streets burst into flames (Bellows, 2007). Next, came a rain shower of glass that drenched the streets from the shattered windows. Nearby, World War I veterans experienced a scene of devastation very similar to that of the battlefields. They initially suspected that cause of such destruction had come from the skies (King, 2011). One witness wrote, “ It was a crash out of a blue sky, an unexpected, death dealing bolt which in a twinkling turned into a shamble the busiest corner of Americas financial center” (Gage 2002).

In 1995, it all started as a peaceful Wednesday morning. People were starting work or just waking up in Oklahoma City. While all these peoples’ days were starting, a young male parked a yellow truck outside of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. That day, everyone's’ life in that building changed forever. The effects of the April 19,1995 bombing were more than just physical to the survivors of this horrific event.

The Oklahoma City Bombing was a significant event in the history of terrorism in the United States. On April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh detonated a powerful vehicle-borne explosive device in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The blast killed 168 people, including 19 children, and hundreds of people were injured. Roughly one third of the federal building was destroyed, and many neighboring buildings were also destroyed or damaged. The bombing was considered the deadliest domestic terror attack in U.S. history (FBI, "Terror"). As a result, the way people viewed bombings and terrorism in general greatly changed.

The Oklahoma City bombing of the Murrah building took place on April 19, 1995 by a 24-year-old army veteran, by the name of Timothy McVeigh and up until the 9-11 attack in New York City, was the worst terrorist attack on U.S soil. It took the lives of 168 people, leaving another 509 injured. McVeigh planned his attack for the date of the second anniversary of the governments assault near Waco. The raid in Waco ended unsuccessfully with six Branch Davidians and four federal agents dead. The Oklahoma bombing meant nothing more to him than pure revenge, his only goal was vengeance and he felt merely nothing.

Did you know, that one person escaped the tower with seconds to spare? A man named Ron DiFrancesco was trying to escape from the South tower, after the North Tower had been attacked, when the second hijacked plane hit between floor 77 and floor 85 of the South Tower. The explosion threw him against the wall, but, however, he was able to carry on to the ground floor from floor 81 in the same time the building was standing after the attack, and then it had collapsed behind him as he was escaping from the building. The attacks on September 11, 2001 had many important effects such as a change in immigrations laws, starting wars, and changed airport rules.

Everyday millions of people, more specifically U.S. citizens trust and rely on their government to make the right decisions in order to keep them safe. On September 11th, 2001, the U.S. government betrayed their citizens by letting and also taking part in the worst attack to ever happen on our soil. Our government betrayed us that day and our former President George Bush and many other government officials had prior knowledge and even were a part of the 9/11 “terrorist” attacks.

Standing on the street asking two men their opinion of public safety. “It has not changed my opinion on public safety in New York but when we are traveling through the city on big holidays or important events we will definitely be more cautious.” Said William Leemon and Clayton Howell. With this being said it’s easy to tell these bombs has the city on edge. From the reactions of people I have interviewed it also seems like there was not much that people believe could have prevented such horrific

In June, people wake up to get ready and go to work. However, most of the people worked in a huge office space building. It was about 120 stories tall. In the building, there were security guards in the front checking people in. A man walked by and noticed there were some new people. He trotted up and welcomed them to the huge building.
