9/11 Movie

1. Order of Events: The movie started out with two French brothers named Guidden and Jules Naudet who planned on making a film a boy becoming a Man and with the help of fire fighter James Hannlon. They then picked a man named Tony who was a probe at the same station as James. The followed him around for five weeks, watching him clean dishes, wash the engines, paint tools, and make beds, nothing exciting was really happening and then on September 11th it all changed. The fire fighters that were on duty that morning responded to a call about a possibly gas leak, they saw the first plane hit the 1st tower and instantly responded to the scene. Once they arrived to Tower 1 the chief instantly talked to the authorities of the Tower and then learned that the elevators were no longer working and to get to the floor that was hit, they had to use the stairs to climb 78 flights to see what was going on. While evacuating the people that were around and coming up with a plane, more stations had come to help in any way that they could, in all this happening the second plane hit tower 2. Tony the probe was off duty that day a long with other guys but eventually they all got called in and were waiting patiently until they were given instructions on what to do.

A little over an hour after the planes had hit both towers, the first tower had collapsed, the fire fighters did everything they could to try to get people out and to help as fast as they could. By the time it collapsed they had already started making their way to the tower, because they were tired of standing around and not helping out the people of their city. Around 10:28 the second towered collapsed. After this the city turned into a ghost town, there was debris everywhere, and they surrounding area was covered in a thick white smoke. Once they started finding ways out the fire fighters eventually start making it back there fire house to start seeing who made it out and who did not, everyone had

    When I read this article I thought this would be a good resource cause if nothing happened to the center core, which was the majority of the tower, then it would still be standing even with a ball of flames burning on the outside. So if the fire from the plane couldn’t take it down then how did it collapse? Explosives, because they found in the foundation, which was 70 feet deep, there were 47 huge box columns, connected to the bedrock; the steel walls of these structures were 4 inches thick. Those walls were found as molten steel 5 weeks later and the fire from the jet fuel cant burn hot enough to melt it, but what can is a chemical found in demolition explosives called Thermite.…

    Another prominent conspiracy is that the collapse of the Twin Towers and the 7 World Trade Center were the result of a controlled destruction than a structural failure due to the fire and impact. In reality, the Twin Towers collapsed as a result of being struck by two jet airliners. However, that explanation hasn’t persuaded conspiracy theorists. The collapse of the Twin Towers destroyed the rest of the complex, and the debris from the collapsing towers severely damaged the surrounding structures and buildings. Later on that day, the 7 World Trade Center collapsed from the fires that had started when the North Tower collapsed. Following the attacks, the building performance study team, or BPS, found that the aircraft impacts caused extensive structural damage, including localized collapse and that the resulting fires furthered weakened the steel beam structures which lead to the collapse.…

    This is a question that is asked by more than just conspiracy theorists, it’s wondered by Americans all around. Theorists say that it was shot down by a missile, disintegrated in mid-air, and spread the debris over a larger area than we originally thought. Finally, another theory that is commonly asked is “How could a skyscraper which wasn’t hit by a plane, collapse so quickly and symmetrically, when no other steel framed skyscraper has collapsed because of fire?” Theorists say that the WTC building was destroyed by a controlled demolition using explosives and incendiaries. These conspiracy theories may or may not be true, but are commonly asked among our…

    He was only flying a six person, single engine plane. How could a guy fail at flying a plane that small, magically fly a Boeing 757 one month later? The man also pulled off a maneuver in the 757 before he hit the tower that is known as “nearly impossible” by many experienced pilots. In a few of the videos, you can also see something on the bottom of the plane, which is usually only seen on government planes. As the planes nose, touched the tower, you could see a small flash like a detonator had gone off. Before the towers had started collapsing, bystanders reported they heard “explosions” going off. Experts say the way the building collapsed is nearly impossible without controlled demolition. Scientist have taken many samples of the dust and observed them under a microscope. They found many particles of explosive…

The hijackers then crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, killing everyone on board and many of those who were working in the buildings. Both of the buildings collapsed within two hours of the collisions. Because of the collapse nearby buildings were damaged, even destroyed.

    The day of September 11th, 2001 the world witnessed with disbelief as the World Trade Center in New York City came crashing down. The shock the attacks generated and the some 3,000 or more people it killed made it one of the brutal attacks in history. One may only wonder how such a grand scaled attack could be carried through. Although controversial, evidence suggests that the September 11th attacks in 2001 were an inside job and the statements of the Bush administration following them were a fabricated truth that many people believed. Unfortunately the tragic event has scarred the lives of many people globally and changed the course of the near future.[1]…

    At first the firefighters thought they wouldn't collapse and they would be able to save everybody that was trapped. The responding units to the towers that sunny morning were approximately over half of all the units in the New York City Fire Department. There are actually 218 Fire Departments in the New York City fire department and between those departments only 210 of them went to world trade center on 9/11. Most of these departments lost either majority of their men or they were ones that got out early before the towers fell. Some departments lost their rigs (trucks, apparatus) during the collapse of the towers. How many first responders were affected. More than 2,000 NYPD and Port Authority police officers secured the area, searched the Towers, and rescued survivors.

At the World Trade Center in New York City hijacked planes stroke into the two twin towers. In shock, no one at the scene had any idea on how to react or more importantly, how to help others stranded in the smoke filled buildings. That day strangers helped strangers escape the wrath of the spreading fire and smoke. However, the top half of the buildings were different. There was a giant crater in the sides of the buildings that merely separated the two halfs. Sadly, people on the top had little to no surviving. Since, their only choice was to stay in the smoke filled rooms some people jumped out of a possible 110…

    and Pennsylvania. Al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center. A third plane hit the Pentagon and the fourth plane crashed in a field. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters. The day this happened the United States was turned upside down. This terrorist attack not only affected the ones that was there, but the families, friends and people watching from home. The news played videos and live footage of what was happening. My school was playing the news and I remember seeing people jumping from the burning buildings, hearing them scream and seeing people rushing in to save the lives of the people trapped inside. The news also played phone calls that had been made to 911 from the victims that were trapped inside the burning buildings. Praying for them to send…

    On a beautiful Tuesday morning, the city of New York was woken up by one plane striking the north tower of the World Trade Center, near the 80th floor trapping hundreds of people on the above floors. It left a gaping hole in the side instantly killing anyone who was near the 80th floor. This was very bad because anyone above the 80th floor would be trapped and it would be very hard for rescuers to get to them.…
