9/11 was a planned terrorist attack and was set up by Osama Bin Laden and was pulled off by four airplanes. One was for the white house and one hit a side of the pentagon and the other two hit the world trade center in New York. The attack was planned to take four airplanes and crash them into three designated targets one was the white house, another the world trade center, and the pentagon. The world trade center was the first target to be attacked then was the pentagon and the third one was hijacked by the civilians and tried to land it in a field in Michigan which was said to be going to the white house. When the planes hit the world trade center it caused a massive fire and people were jumping out of the building ending it all in one moment.…
On September 11th, 2001, it was a Tuesday morning in the state of New York. At 8:45, an American Airlines plane flew directly into the north tower of the World Trade Center. The crash left a giant burning hole in the building by the 80th floor of the 110 story building. Hundreds of people instantly died, while hundreds were still trapped on upper floors. 18 minutes later, a second plane hit near the 60th floor of the south tower. This crash caused debris to rain all over people and buildings nearby. People instantly knew America was under attack.…

On September 11, 2001, about 3,000 people were killed, and over 6,000 people were injured in the United States. Al-Qaeda, a group of Islamic extremists, hijacked four airplanes to execute suicide attacks. Two of the compromised airliners hit the World Trade Center towers in New York City. Another plane struck the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and the last plane crashed in Pennsylvania in a field. The American people were unfortunately surprised because of those attacks; many loved ones were lost, and many terrorists escaped from our government’s reach. Because of this infamous event, the officials of the United States government have debated and are currently debating whether they, the government, should be allowed to observe and retain information…
The 11th September 2001 was the day that changed modern history. It is known all over the world as 9/11, the day that shook America. Immediately after the attacks on the World Trade Centres North and South, many conspiracy theories surfaced about what actually happened on that tragic day. There are some true facts we know; the time that flight 11 flew into the North building, that flight 175 followed closely behind making its way into the South building. We also know that the number of lives lost was astronomical. 2, 753 lives were lost from 83 different countries all around the world. This was the day that changed America forever. Who was responsible, the American Government or Terrorists? That is the compelling question…
A quote by Dr. Seuss. “You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own,and you know what you know.”What was it like before 9/11 that’s different from now and the future? When will America become a home, or how will America become superior? Who will change America? Why should America change?…
5. In this course I have assigned a conspiracy debunking book on widespread conspiracy allegations concerning the events of 9/11/01. That book, compiled by the journal POPULAR MECHANICS: Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can’t Stand Up, attempts to silence the avalanche of suspicion triggered by attacks that day. You can obtain the essence of those suspicions by consulting the many "Truther" sites on the Web. To a general reader, explain what we ought to think about 9/11 in the wake of this confrontation over what actually happened on that fateful day and why. Explain why you reached this conclusion. Address this question: How successful can the most thorough debunking be in the wake of allegations of the sort made by the Truther movement? I own several books and CD's making the case for conspiracy for your use if you wish to consult one or more of them. Of course, the internet is full of that material. You might want to entitle your essay, “Can conspiracy doubts ever be put to rest?”.…
“We might have accomplished something if we have been able to treat the terrorist attacks of 9/11 in a way similar to how we treat the damage on the nation's highways-by implementing practices and requirements that are directly related to results (as in the case of speed limit, safety belts, and the like, which took decades to accomplish in the cause of auto safety)-rather than by throwing the nation into a near panic and using the resulting fears to justify expensive but not necessarily effective or even relevant measures.”…
“There are no words” These were the words that were spoken on live TV in front of the entire nation on September 11, 2001. The exact moment those words were said is marked the second that America changed forever. Prior to 9/11 Americans thought they were untouchable. That there was no way the things they watched on Fox New and CNN every night could ever happen in their backyard. But when the North Tower collapsed at 10:28 am after the South Tower, Pentagon, and Flight 93 crashed America realized that they weren't as safe as we thought. Americans went to bed on September 10th watching the violence in other countries erupt only to wake up the next morning to see that same violence and terror right out their bedroom window.…

On September 11, 2001, nineteen men from an Islamic terrorist group known as Al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial airplanes, and flown them into the World Trade Center in New York City, one into the Pentagon and the other crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. A total of 2,977 perished as a result of the attack. (“September 11, 2001: Background and Timeline of the Attacks”) President George Bush addressed the nation, “America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world and no one will keep that light from shining”. (“Text of Bush’s Address”) My interpretation of his speech is that we are a nation of hope and prosperity, and there are those who do not share in those same beliefs. As a nation, we need to continue to stand strong and be vigilant to those who threaten us. Following the aftermath of the attack, United States sent their military forces into Iraq and in pursuit of the man whom orchestrated the attack. Al-Qaeda Leader Bin Landen was responsible for the September 11th attacks and was killed in his compound in Pakistan on May 2,…
I love that you guys are talking about 9/11 in your classroom. That is something that I thought we would discuss in my classroom, however, we did not. I think that 9/11 is important to share with the children of today. It makes it a more meaningful concept because many of us where alive during this time. It is wonderful that you and your CT are able to engage kindergarten students with such a serious and tragic topic. Adults don't give children enough credit when it comes to understanding and learning about topics of this nature. Although, there are parts of this historic event that are not suitable for kindergarten children, lesson on 9/11 shouldn't be avoided. There are ways to tailor it to young children to make it appropriate, which…

He taught he was entitled to disobey parliament because he did not answer to anybody but god. He started fights and caused tension with parliament and gained an advantage under Charles Is reign. This started a civil war which…
There have been many turning points in American History; however none have the same effect as September 11, 2001, and many Americans relate the day to the country’s loss of innocence. As a result of 9/11 many American’s lives were affected emotionally, physically, economically, and politically.…
