Many people believed that the Twin Towers would never collapse and that it was invincible due to the complexity of its structure. The North Tower was constructed in December 1970, followed shortly by the South Tower in January 1972. The complex design of the World Trade Center was conceived as an urban renewal project and were used to restore confidence and help bring a halt to the decline of lower Manhattan. The 9/11 terrorist attack was a series of four attacks on the United States on the morning of September 11, 2001. The attacks killed 2,996 people, injured over 6,000 others, and cost at least $10 billion in property damage and infrastructure. The greatest factor that contributed to the loss of life of 9/11 was the construction of the towers…
Andrea, I like the paragraph you pulled from the book because it really sheds light on the major changes of how life is lived now. To Ish, the great disaster is something he has experiences first hand where the younger members of the tribe have only heard of what happened. As generations continue the great disaster becomes history, another event in a book. The first hand experience is gone because all who lived during it have pasted. There is a world of difference between experiencing something and being told about something. It reminds me of 9/11, being that freshmen entering high school this past year are the first class to learn about 9/11 as history because they were not alive during it. It’s a foreign concept for me to think that student…
The image is of 9/11. 9/11 took place on September 11 2001 and was in Manhattan, New York. The attack was a terrorist attack on the United States and was targeted at the twin towners in the heart of Manhattan. 2 planes were hijacked and sent straight into the 2 towers causing fire in each then causing the towers to collapse. The entire ordeal left over 2996 people dead and thousands of people injured. The attack was done by al-Qaeda and controlled by Osama Bin Laden.…
As we all know, on September 11, 2001 Muslim terrorists attacked the United Stated. They hijacked 4 airplanes in mid-flight. The first 2 planes flew right into 2 skyscrapers at the World Trade Center in New York City. Obviously, the buildings caught fire and collapsed. The third plane demolished part of the Pentagon (the US military headquarters) in Arlington, Virginia. The final plane crashed in Shanks Ville, Pennsylvania. Both articles agreed that exactly 19 terrorists hijacked the 4 planes; and that the attack was made by Al Qaeda, which was led by Osama bin Laden.…
The September 11 attacks were a series of suicide attacks by Al-Qaeda upon the United States. On the morning of the attacks 19 of Al-Qaeda’s terrorists hijacked four jet airliners. 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 hijackers crashed the third airplane into the Pentagon which is located in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane was crashed into a field near Shanksville in Pennsylvania after some of its passengers attempted to retake control of the plane. Unfortunately…

The dominant event that is related to the Taliban's is the 9/11. In 2001, United States faced a horrific terrorist attack that left many Americans devastated, traumatized and scarred. “Airlines Boeing 767 left from Boston’s Logan International Airport to Los Angeles and was loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel.The plane crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. Approximately two hours later, American Airlines Flight 11 crashes into floors 93-99 of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, killing everyone on board and hundreds inside the building” (9/11 Attacks).This event is related to the Taliban because Thomas Joscelyn, a senior at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies explains the Taliban are allied with Al Qaeda, a group founded by Osama Bin Laden, who was responsible for 9/11.…
Much has been written in recent years about terrorist attacks and weapons of mass destruction. Explosives are the weapon of choice for many terrorists as reported by the media on a routine basis. The bombing of the Pan Am Flight 103 that occurred on December 21, 1988 over Lockerbie and Galloway was no different. This bombing became the largest criminal investigation that was led by the smallest police force. (CIA)…
A documentary is a non-fiction film or as John Grierson has defined a documentary as ‘the artistic representation of actuality’. Documentaries are intended to capture a ‘reality’, inform or make a change to something in society. Though people would argue that when a camera is seen, they behave differently than they would if there was no camera. Therefore, can reality really be captured?…
The late 19th and early 20th centuries were a time of great struggle within American society. Politically, there should have been equality, for all people were given the same rights by law. However this certainly was not the case in reality, for society was not accepting of any change; there was in fact prevailing inequality. Kate Chopin challenged this reality with her bold, unconventional ideas, but was scorned by the traditional view of society when she first published her novel, The Awakening in 1899. This novel reflects the author’s own personal life experiences and through the protagonist Edna Pontellier and also portrays her views on the cultural, political and social norms of this century through Edna’s actions, as well as her emotions towards herself, society and the other characters in the novel. The struggle for gender in this time period was often depicted as a physical…
On September 11, 2001, an act of terrorism took place in New York City on the World Trade Center. As a result of this, many lives were lost and many people were injured. This is completely at fault of the US government. Not only were the people that were inside the World Trade Center affected, but bystanders, and even the first responders were killed, injured, or got sick. The federal government should definitely compensate the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. One reason is because healthcare usage rose above expected levels in months following the attacks. Another reason is that there were a high amount of deaths by many different ways of first responders. A third reason is that it t wasn’t until June 2002 that the air quality around the site returned to normal, so many normal people just going about their day have experienced health problems since the attacks.…
