Bush administration launched full investigation into the attacks after pressure from families of the victims of 9/11. Conclusion from the panel’s final report was that the government “failed to protect the American people” after failure from members in Bush’s cabinet to acknowledge Al Qaeda threats coming in prior to 9/11. This began to draw concern about his presidency and cabinet from the American public.…
The 9/11 commission report was released to give all the information on what occurred on the attacks of September 11. In the commission report it gives information on why the towers were attacked and who was the main suspect. Osama bin laden and Al Qaeda are the ones blamed for the attacks. Since then America isn’t the same anymore. Now we have 24 hour protection from any terrorist risks.…
September 11, 2001 is a time in U.S. history that everyone will remember, it holds a special place in almost every American’s heart, as well as the families in other countries who lost a loved one that day. Several groups of people within our own country and abroad believe that knowledge of this attack was held prior to the actual event. The U.S. government made the citizens believe that two airplanes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City, and one airplane into the Pentagon. Different conspiracy theories have developed on the internet, and several websites claim to have legitimate cases regarding the validity of the “true” story. The true story, however, is one of pain and suffering that the citizens of America were put through.…

On September 11th 2001, there were multiple terrorist attacks directed at the United States of America. Four planes were hijacked mid-flight. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers (the world trade centre) in New York. Another plane destroyed part of the pentagon in Virginia, and the fourth was crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after the passengers disabled the terrorists. There are many suggested reasons for the attacks on the United States, some of which have been made public by Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda – an armed Islamic group. Bin Laden blamed American occupation of the Middle East, and their support of Israel, for the attacks. Al Qaeda is widely believed to be responsible for the 9/11 attacks, as well as many other terrorist attacks (including a previous truck bomb which was detonated under the World Trade Centre in 1993). As a result of 9/11, there were many impacts on the United States, as well as the rest of the world. The impacts include effects on peoples’ thoughts and beliefs, an effect on the economy, the cultivation of a nation of fear and insecurity, as well as growing distrust of the American Government. 9/11 is described…
September 11, 2001 holds a special place in almost every American’s heart, as well as those of families in other countries who lost a loved one that day. Not only is Sept. 11th the bloodiest terrorist attack in the history of the nation, several groups of people within our own country and abroad believe that knowledge of this attack was held prior to the actual event. What has been reported and believed was that two airplanes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City, and one airplane into the Pentagon. Different conspiracy theories have developed on the internet, and several websites claim to have legitimate cases regarding the validity of the “true” story. These claims are nothing less than a slap in the face of some thousands of Americans who risked their lives to remove others from harms way. The true story, however, is one of pain and suffering that my fellow citizens and I share.…
“At 8:46 on the morning of September 11, 2001, the United States became a nation transformed” (“The 9/11 Commission Report Executive Summary” 6). This day will forever be a part of the American way of live from here on out. It was a day of tragedy and surprise, but was it something we could have avoided? “The 9/11 Commission Report” talks about the events leading up to this tragic event, how the government could of avoided such devastation, who was the man behind it all, the events on the 9/11, and the general problems within the United States government. While there is more to the story then most of “us” (United States citizens) will ever know, this book is probably the closest most of the “us” will ever get to actually understanding 9/11,…
Reading about 9/11 has been very insightful, because we have considered the historical significance of it. The article “Security vs. Freedom” shows a lot of the historical aspect of 9/11. It explains…
On September 11th of 2001, the United States of America was attacked for the second time in history on their own soil. Most Americans remember where they were and what they were doing when news of this heartbreaking story broke. In the beginning, the nation was mostly awe-struck and sad, but within just a few months, questions began to raise. Sadly, one of the worst tragedies in the history of the United States, 9/11, was an inside job. From the uncommon stock activity preceding the attack, eyewitness and expert accounts at the Twin Towers, and the unusual activity at the Pentagon, it is quite clear that this…
Al-Qaeda is the group responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Bin Laden initially denied involvement in the attacks but then eventually admitted that he was involved. US forces found a video tape in a destroyed house in Jalalabad. The video shows that Bin Laden was planning the attacks and that he was responsible. Nearly 10 years later, Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan by Special Forces. Bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attacks and was eventually found and killed.…
(Dr. Cronin, HS Class notes) Before the September 11th, the government’s main focus was not on terrorism. Since the attacks terrorism has been the main focus of the government. The 9/11 commissions began. The 9/11 commission is an independent involvement commission created by legislation and signed off the ex President George W. Bush in the late 2000s. The Commission is to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the…
The attacks on America on September 11th, 2001 killed “almost 3,000 people” according to theguarden.com. The attacks include the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and the naked field in a rural area in Pennsylvania. After 16 years of mourning, the evidence of the day of September 11th, 2001 still does not add up. Families have been fed lies so the government can cover up their disturbing secrets on the 9/11 attacks. The government has put the blame on Osama Bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist organization. The amount of evidence that has been covered by the government is phenomenal. Here are a few of many pieces of evidence that sources have dug up.…

“I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States...Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people,” (“Hard Facts Hard Truth -Bin Laden ‘Confession Tapes”). This quote is spoken by Osama Bin Laden himself the day after the September 11, 2001 attacks on both Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and attempt to reach the White House although failed and crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Osama Bin Laden then was denying all accusations of him outlining the attacks on September 11, 2001. The morning of September 11, 2001 was not just any traditional day. Americans were full terror, grief, dismal, and awe as nineteen total hijackers on American Airlines…
