On September 11‚ 2001‚ Americans woke up literally and figuratively to the realities of terrorism. To many‚ a terrorist attack was something that they only saw on the evening news. Never did anyone think of the deep impact that it would cause. Since the 9/11 attacks‚ things have changed. Prior to 9/11 did you even know that a Homeland Security Advisory System existed and that they were color coded?!

Clintons Fault For 9/11 The Clinton administration was at fault for the 9/11 attacks. During the course of his presidency‚ Bill Clinton had more than a single chance to catch those responsible for the 9/11 tragedy. During his term of 8 years‚ Clinton had seen a fair share of terrorist attacks‚ all of which were quickly forgotten. Clinton not only sparked the attack on the World Trade Center‚ but he may very well have sparked hatred towards the United States by many of the Middle Eastern countries

Without falling into jingoism or being over-sentimental‚ Robert Pinsky’s poem "9/11" generates a commendable ode to the spirit that drives this country‚ in addition to revealing the American culture for what it truly is enthusiastic and frivolous‚ courageous and fallible‚ petty and resilient. For most Americans‚ September 10th is Before‚ and everything since is After. Citizens from every state across the U.S. responded immediately to the attacks by giving blood and donating much-needed items

more relaxed. Many of the congressmen‚ indeed‚ much of the American people‚ had the same questions that Bush brought forward‚ and they clung to his every word in the hopes of shedding light upon the mystery of 9/11. The questions were well chosen‚ as they allowed the President to steer the speech in a direction that would justify immediate action‚ as apposed to a more reserved‚ cautious approach. Bush incriminated bin Laden and his cohorts of Al-Qaeda‚ and gave some statistics about the fatalities of

The air was filled with smoke; slowly I made my way through the enormous building. Not knowing where to go. But feeling the building rumble and shake in my fear of claustrophobia.

Let me give you an example. 9/11 was considered one of the most impacted times in our American History. We panicked‚ everyone thought we were going to die and we had a feeling that people were going to have to go to war. We were doing the right thing...in the beginning. We went to Afghanistan to try to find Bin Laden and to no avail; we couldn’t find him so what we did?

For my final project I decided to look at specific Infrastructures that developed as a result of 9/11 I broke my project into 4 different categories 1) Symbolic meaning behind the Twin Towers: Why were the Twin Towers specifically targeted? What did the World Trade Center symbolize to Islamic extremists? 2) Security response: What Infrastructures were immediately put in place after the attack? I will be looking at the physical increase in security‚ funding by the government and zoning to prevent
