Most Americans remember the hardship from the events that took place on September 11, 2001. It was a very hard time for many families; loved ones were passing or saying their last words over the phone. It was hard on more than just those people though. Through it, all heroes stepped-up and terrorists were overcome. Damage was done, but memorials were built to remember the good, not the bad. September 11, 2001, is a day that terrorists tried to bring America to its knees; however, heroes arose to act as true patriots to save hundreds of lives including Flight 93 and the Pentagon.
In 2001 on September 11, there were attacks that were made at the two world trade centers in New York City. These attacks led to things America has never seen before. The attacks of September 11, 2011 forever change security in the united states as well the American people’s thoughts of immigrants
The morning of 9/11 I wasn’t going to go to work because I had an allergy appointment,
"A plane just crashed right into one of the Twin Towers!" Someone yelled. People were screaming because they were on fire. Others were fleeing for their life, but all I could do was stare in awe at the smoking hole in one of the biggest towers in New York. September 11, 2001, one of the most devastating days for me, and for all of America.
September 11th 2001 there was a surprise attack on the United States by terrorists. The terrorists allegedly hijacked four airplanes. One was meant for the White House, one was meant for the Pentagon and the other two were meant for the twin tower which fell and many lives were lost. However some say it was not terrorists and that it was the United States government and that the government set a bomb and that they had several motives to do this.
The late 1990’s into the early 2000’s was a time of great economic success that took a turn for the worst as the war against terrorism began. In America, the economy was at its peak especially on Wall Street until September 11th 2001. The attacks that occurred on September 11th deeply affected America. The attacks caused the Dow to drop tremendously along with causing the recession to deepen. America was led into of the biggest government spending periods in a long time. The cost to fund the war along with to rebuild the economy held a toll on all Americans. America had to dig itself out of a hole. Unlike the economy, technology was on the rise. Many new inventions such as wireless internet, mobile devices, and new forms of social media were created.
George W. Bush once said that “Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They see liberty and think they saw weakness.” 9/11 was a devastating day in American history. Men, from the terrorist group Al Quada, attacked America on their own soil for the first time since Japan attack us at Pearl Harbor. But there are some things we can isolate from it. The basic overview of it. What were the terrorists doing to get ready for the day, and what was their major purpose and intention.
He quickly thinks he cannot let this happen so runs outside with his gun and starts to shoot the guards but then notices someone just hit the alarm button so there are sirens going crazy and hundreds of guards come out side to find the boy but Devin already went back inside and then he notices more guards approach him so he runs back in the closet. He thinks to himself will I die here, he hears the door getting smashed so he thinks of a way to escape and he’s got it, he climbs through the vents and takes it as far as it goes. he quickly jumps down and notices he’s in the room his parents were before but no one was there and he sees a ski mask and he thinks to himself if I wear this they won’t be able to know what I look like and if I escape they can’t track me easily so he grabs the ski mask so but then quickly he is surrounded by 100 of guards in a circle formation than slowly a guard grabs him and puts him to he’s knees and then slowly he sees his parents walk through the doors but they don’t know it’s there
Jess Walter creates a post 9/11 world that balances precariously between real and surreal. It is real enough that the reader is able to comprehend how awful the attack truly was; but surreal enough that the reader feels the same way most Americans did at Ground Zero—confused, frightened, and grief stricken. Remy, the unwilling hero in all of this is exposed to many different forms of grief both public and personal. Using irony and satire, Walter critiques the way public forms of grief were presented as the only viable ways of grieving after 9/11. Reporters wanted to broadcast each and every loss. The government wanted to exploit the grief of the American people so that they could continue what they were doing in
September 11th, 2001 is a day that left deep scars on Americans and America’s history. Extremists from a terrorist group, called al-Qaeda, whose main goal is to make countries that are predominantly Islamic get rid of all non-Islamic influences, hijacked four commercial airplanes, full of innocent passengers, and then smashed one into each of the Twin Towers or the World Trade Center in New York. Shortly after, there was another attack on the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Back in New york, both of the twin towers collapsed. The fourth hijacked airplane did not do much damage. It landed on an open field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. All together 2,996 innocent individuals died. An emotional impact was left because many people lost their family
September 11, 2001 is the day four planes were hijacked and three crashed into important buildings, while the last crashed into a field. And today all the grief, devastation, great sacrifice, and total annihilation will be remembered throughout time as 9/11. To tell you everything would take forever, so instead I will tell you how my mother saw it. It was on a day we all know as 9/11, there was a house on Quimby Way in Sacramento, California. And in this house, my mother was going throughout her day as usual, which most likely involved laundry, dishes, and watching two children by the name of Alanna and Christopher, when she saw the news. “Is this really happening? This can’t be true! Was it an accident? Oh my god, both towers! What would ever make someone do that? This is terrible, why is it even happening in the first place? Why? Why?
It was a normal day in New York City, with business workers rushing into the World Trade Center. They thought it was going to be like any other day in the office but they were wrong. These office workers were in for the biggest surprise of their life. Planes flown by hijackers crashed into both the Twin Towers, and the Pentagon was hit by a plane as well. Now there is a memorial in New York where the bases of the towers were honoring the people who died that day.
Not many events during my lifetime are as memorable as September 11, 2001. Al Qaeda attacked the Twin Towers and the Pentagon to spread fear for the terrorist group. This act of terrorism is why or one of the major causes for the Afghanistan war. September 11, 2001 will leave scars on people’s memories that they will never forget.

Life in America after 9/11/01 was a hard time for America, many families and friends were grieving over their lost loved ones. But while all of this was happening government and important people were creating programs like the TSA.The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created to create a safer flight and safer planes so tragedies like the recent terrorist attack America went through does not happen again. Some changes they made for safer flights are the cockpit doors that pilots are controlling the plane is was turned bullet proof and stays locked at all times during the duration of the flight. Also, in the airport you must put baggage through the technology created to detect weapons or bombs that could be in anybody's luggage. Many requirement must be met at airports after 9/11, for example a specific ID is required; the ID name must math the name printed on the ticket of that person. This is probably in effect because they wouldn't want anyone on the plane that is not supposed to be there. Also, whatever thy person has on them like baggage and carry on that a person plans to bring into the plane must be checked and screened. People can fit many things into their bags so this rule is there because they would want any weapons on the plane that would lead to other people getting hurt. Lastly, there is technology that scans someone's body to check for any weapons to anything they would not like to have on the plane, but if
