Why Security Is Not A One Step, Or One Goal?

around the world. The explosion took place at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in

On September 11, 2001 the World Trade Center buildings one and two were attacked. However, who we were attacked by and even if we were attacked is a hard decision to make. There have been many different claims about how everything on that fateful day happened. There are facts that we know are true, though; Flight 11 flew into the North Tower at eight forty- six in the morning. Soon after, Flight 175 attacked the South Tower. By the end of the day, both towers had collapsed and other hijacked flights had caused damage. The amount of lives lost on September 11 was substantial; 2,749 people from eighty-three different countries died from the attacks (Facts about the attacks…, n.d.). All in all, America was changed forever.

Thousands of people came together to volunteer and show support to surrounding business owners which lost all their belongings and inventory. Sometimes a simple as retrieving death certificate was increasingly challenging because without a body, the process could take years. Lawyers, judges, and public defenders teamed together to make the situation run smoother with less struggles. Canceling was also something provided because many people had issues still dealing with the loss of a family member or traumatized by the experience. September 11 had a huge impact on how us as humans saw the world at that moment and changed our own priorities to give a helping hand to those who were in a more complex situation. Although there was an abundance of support the US had to make changes on who to associate with and didn 't take this attack as something that can be shut off. Airport securities became more aware on who enters and leaves the country. Another words, at the end of the day I would security is put first then any other thing because if someone is willing to give their life to attack the nation we shouldn 't take incidents like these rightly and retaliate with full force.

The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2011 prompted the world to reevaluate and drastically modify airport and airline security. “Four targets had been chosen, all iconic American buildings that would send a clear message of the depth of their hatred for the United States. All four planes crashed, killing all on board—terrorists, crew members, and passengers, along with hundreds who were killed inside the structures, on the ground, and the men and women who ran into collapsing buildings in an effort to try and save others” (Smutz 1). As Jason Villemez said “the decade after the 9/11 attacks reshaped many facets of life in America” (Villemez 1). Before the attacks, people did not think that large

September 11, 2001 is commonly thought of as the next major disaster in the United States. So I prefer to choose this real incident. The event that shook the world like a thunderstorm, thousands of people died in the terrorist attacks they did not resemble the catastrophic disasters previously discussed. Unlike all of the natural disasters previously detailed, the attacks in New York City and Washington, DC did not completely overwhelm the emergency response capabilities of entire regions. The attacks caused brief mass confusion and overwhelmed individual emergency response agencies but did not paralyze the entire emergency response network. The primary first responders were the Fire Department of New York (FDNY), the New York Police Department (NYPD) and the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD. While federal officials participated in rescue operations and helped provide security after the attacks, the immediate rescue efforts were orchestrated by local responders. The local response networks were overwhelmed and resources were strained, but there was no system-wide breakdown in organization or authority. Nonetheless, emergency responders encountered many of the same problems that responders experience during catastrophic disasters. Communication systems

In the United States so much is constantly changing within our society. Our perception has changed and continues to do so and as they do so does everything else. When how we think changes our society changes. When our society changes the way our society operates changes. This is true in any facet of our society in the United States and pertains to every aspect in which we operate. These issues are not limited to us as a society; they also extend into our criminal justice system and our court systems. In this paper we will take a look into issues that currently face our court systems. We will attempt to identify the current and future issues that face our courts and court administrators in our society today. In our analysis we will attempt to

The attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11 was the worst terrorist attack in U. S. history. Prior to 9/11, the U.S. had dealt with intermittent attacks on American soil with limited experience on emergency preparedness. Since 9/11, Homeland security was formed within the next year with a goal to safeguard the country against future terrorist attacks. The United States was faced with additional challenges other than just providing a response plan to terrorist attacks. There has been a debate if the United States is better prepared or is in the same position as before the 9/11 attack.

We cannot assume that we can prevent all acts of terror and therefore must also prepare to minimize the damage and recover from attacks that do occur. As September 11 showed and proved to us that we are not where we are supposed to be, the aftermath showed us how vulnerable we were. The Department of Homeland Security has made tremendous improvement since then to ensure the preparedness of our nation’s emergency response professionals, provide the federal government’s response, aid America’s recovery from terrorist attacks and natural disasters and foresight.

The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the downing of an airplane by passengers on September 11, 2001 left many Americans reeling with fear and feeling vulnerable. The American people no longer felt safe and protected on their homeland soil. It was a violation of security that united not only the American people, but countries around the world. Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, then President, George W. Bush, proposed the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Prior to this proposal, the responsibility to protect the nation’s security fell to over 100 different government agencies. Not one of these agencies saw homeland security as their primary goal. The newly created

There was nothing peculiar about the morning of September 11th, 2001, and in its early hours of the morning no one could have predicted what was about to happen. That morning, nineteen hijackers boarded four different flights with the intention of crashing the hijacked aircrafts into politically and economically significant buildings in New York and Washington. At 8:46 an American Airlines flight 11 struck the north tower of the World Trade Centre (WTC) in the city centre of New York. At this very moment no one knew, or even suspected, that this might have been a terrorist attack and that this day and the following events would be engraved into people’s mind as a black day of the modern history. The situation escalated only 17 minutes later when at 9:03 the second hijacked plane United Airlines flight 175 crashed into the south tower. The horror only continued when at 9:37 an American Airlines flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, a headquarter of the U.S. Department of Defence. Passengers aware of the on-going situation and the three previously crashed planes seized control of the United airlines 93 flight, the fourth hijacked aircraft which is believed to have intended to destroy the Capitol or the

In the mid 1990’s, acts of terrorism were becoming a constant theme within the United States. Attacks like the bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City on February 1993, which caused six causalities

Shortly after the Twin Towers fell on September 11, 2001, the nation began to mourn, and the Americans around the world began to commemorate the victims and demonstrate their patriotism(“Reaction to 9/11”). New York Governor Pataki activated the State’s Emergency Operations Center; created a new office of Public Safety to check on the state’s bridges, tunnels and water supplies; and won bipartisan support for a plan to establish a Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and a state-run World Trade Center Relief Fund(“Reaction to 9/11”). Congressional leaders responded to: They passed a $40 billion disaster relief bill in September and, the next year, the USA Patriot Act, which gave investigators a great deal of leeway in their domestic surveillance activities and made immigration laws more stringent(“Reaction to 9/11”).

Our way of life in the United States and around the world changed on September 11th, 2001 after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centers in New York City, the Pentagon and on flight 93. One of the statements that President George W. Bush made in his Address to the Nation on Terrorist Attacks that night was, “Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks” (Bush, Para 6, September 11, 2001). Emergency management services across the nation and the world sprang into action to provide immediate aid to the response and recovery efforts that were in dire need in New York City. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was an instrumental part of providing aid in that process.

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 events of September 11, 2001, changed the New York City skyline and changed the world with it irrevocably. For example, if one simply examines the ways in which departments of the federal government changed after September 11, the changes are indeed staggering and dramatic: immediately post-9/11 the Department of Homeland Security was created in coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, creating essentially the most comprehensive reorganization of government in the last fifty years (McEntire, 2004). The events of September 11th also caused the spotlight to be thrust on people like Emergency manager, putting their jobs under greater scrutiny as well as granting them long overdue recognition from the general public, creating pressure which has led to more funding for the vital profession. The more intensive and advanced technological arena has also offered the field more challenges and more advantages.
