This research paper will offend most people. The attack was very real. The deaths were very real.

...September 11, 2001 is a day that will always be remembered. It’s the day nineteen militants from the Islamic extremist group “al-Qaeda” took four planes and targeted the United States. It was a suicide mission. Two out of the four planes flew into the Twin Towers in New York City. The third plane flew into the Pentagon in Washington D.C.. The fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. There were over 3,000 casualties in the attacks. 9/11 initiatives combat terrorism defined George W. Bush as a president.

...Following 9/11 there was a sense of fear like no other into the minds of the American people. This fear was if Americans were safe from terrorist groups entering the US, and the trauma from what some Americans experienced on 9/11. In his novel, John Botte reflects on his thoughts after experiencing ground zero, "Along with thousands of others who lost loved ones to 9/11, I relive the events of that day every day” (Botte 5). Botte’s statement accurately reflects the emotions of many Americans, and after 9/11 the US sought to make some drastic changes to secure the US from external threats. Arguably the most controversial law put in place to protect the people was the Patriot Act. Put into action just 45 days after 9/11, the Patriot Act is still...

...what is right and stand against violence. Violence has caused a lot of grief for families because of their losses. One type of violence is terrorism. Terrorism is when a group of people or a person use violence or force to scare other people. I chose this type of violence because terrorism has been happening for many years and many people have died because of this. One major terrorist attack that is commonly known is 9/11. Where four planes were taken over by hijackers and three were crashed into the “Twin Towers.” Many bystanders saw the building crash. There were people who cried for their family member who they knew were in the building. Firefighters and police officers were at the scene instantly and tried their best to find if there were any survivors left. Even though the police saved some people, this terrorist attack ended up killing almost three thousand people. Since 9/11, the U.S has improved airport security and equipment that is able to detect weapons. 9/11 was a tragic day for everyone but it showed what the U.S did to help. The U.S responded to 9/11 by supporting suffering families and, as I mentioned...

...equipment” (Guide, 2002, p.10). CBS News (as cited by Steinhäusler, Edwards, & MyiLibrary, 2005) stated in Greenville, S.C. on October 15, 2003, ricin was detected at a mail facility, an offsite location where mail is processed for the White House. Three postal workers came in contact with the envelope, which was taken to another Greenville facility. The postal workers noticed that the package read “caution Ricin poison” and called law enforcement officials (Irves, 2004). The law enforcement officials took the mail to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, which later found that the envelope did contain ricin. Although, no one was hurt it was a potential threat to any of the postal officials and first responders. During the 9/11 attack, the impact of the plane killed many people. Some contributing factors as noted by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States (2004) “it is possible that a person who worked above the impact zone had not yet reached his or her office and was killed below the impact zone, either by fallen debris, fireballs from the explosion, or by being trapped in an elevator” (p. 553). The extent of damage to the Twin Towers turned the firefighting effort into an evacuation. While getting citizens out of the towers, the first responders were dealing with the heat and smoke from the disaster. Their personal protect equipment (PPE) gloves, pants, jackets, gas masks, helmets, oxygen tanks, etc. helped the first responders...

...There shouldn’t be a right religion to follow or anything. We shouldn’t encourage someone to do something they don’t want to because it’s “hip”. Everyone should be able to decide what’s right for them. We should let our actions define who we are, but instead I feel like we let society define who are. For example, the yolo trend. Another example, is after 9/11 Muslims were being targeted on streets so people could seek rebubustation for the attack that a group of people classified themselves as “Muslims”. Most people think Islam is a terrorist group and we only believe in violence, and the women only live to be “slaves” for their husband however this is far from the truth. I could say from first hand experience, that Islam is a religion with loving participants that will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and are free willed. For example, when someone comes over to our house we make sure the person doesn’t have problems in their lives, if they do, we typically try to resolve the issues, and I believe my mother runs the household and not my father; she will tell my father what he...

...A memorial is a structure that honors a person or several people. When people think about the World Trade Center and the Twin Towers they think about September 11, 2001. There is much more history to the World Trade Center than this. Most people do not know that there was another attack on the towers before September 11. The 9/11 memorial honors all people lost in the terror attacks of 1993 and 2001. The World Trade Center consists of seven buildings. The main buildings were the Twin Towers. The Twin Towers construction started in 1966 and was completed in 1973 although tenants started to arrive in 1970. The antenna started being used in 1980.

The day went on dreadfully for my boss and everyone at work as well. For years, the combination of fear of the 9/11 attacks and the media evidence provided by conspiracy theorists has caused me to be paranoid not only whenever I was in a close distance with men from the Middle East, but also thinking that the U.S. government was behind the master ploy.
