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 attack on Pearl Harbor was a terrorist attack. Japan sent over one hundred fighter planes to attack the United States military base in Pearl Harbor. This reminds me of the September 11 attack. One similarity is that both of the wars mainly started because if the many disagreements they had with United States, like the restrictions of trade embargo. One difference is that it took place at Pearl Harbor, while 9/11 took place at the World Trade Center.…
From the 1970’s to the 2000’s the world has seen many changes. Some have been beneficial some have taken their turn for the worse, but everything must run its course at some point. The seventies there was continued celebration of the first man on the moon. Another milestone was completed in 1973 that being the world trade center in New York. The twin towers stood until the terrorist attack on 9/11 a day from the 2000’s that will never be forgotten.…
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.

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…
Introduction: Hard workers up in the towers minding their own business, when all of a sudden a crash arises. Two planes less than 5 minutes, on the morning of September 11, crash into the beautiful twin towers in NYC. Many years before this terrorist attack, in December of 1941, a similar but as well different attack occurred. Planes struck the navy base on Pearl Harbor. Streets are full, people working and a plane strikes a tower in the center of New York City. Working on a navy base and planes come out unexpected with terrorists planning to destroy everything. The bombing of Pearl Harbor was definitely unexpected, as was the plane wrecks on 9/11; many can believe Pearl Harbor did not hit as many emotions because it was not terrorists just people from Japan with hate. September 11th was a terrorist attack…
The attack on Pearl Harbor and the attack on 9/11 share similarities and differences. 75 years ago on December 7th, 1941, a surprise attack by the Japanese hit Pearl Harbor in Hawaii(Rosenburg 1). 50 years later, on September 11th 2001, an attack by Al-Qaeda hit New York City(Jensen 1). These two acts were very similar in their effect on the country, their number of casualties and warning signs, but had different perpetrators and rescue efforts.…
American society can be very easily seen as black and, white. Although this may seem true that is not always the case, there are more similarities than people think between the two. In fact it is shown that they both seemingly support endless war. When George bush was the president of the U.S.A, he strongly supported fighting Afghanistan for revenge on what happened on 9/11. Following Bush, president Barack Obama was also not the slightest bit concerned in ending the feud. In fact he actually caught Bin laden. If neither party is against war how long will this actually go on? “People who fight fire with fire usually end up in ashes…

The first plane to crash, crashed into the north tower of the world trade center. Shortly after a second plane crashed into the south tower of the world trade center. An hour later a third plane struck the pentagon, destroying a portion of the building (Borch 847). The fourth plane crashed into a ruel area of southeast Pittsburgh (Borch 847).

The Japanese had scrupulously planned, successfully struck, and triumphantly destroyed the naval base Pearl Harbor, which left many Americans dead or wounded.…
