9/11: Conspiracy

September 11,2001 is a date that all Americans and people all around the world will remember for the rest of their lives. No one could have ever thought something so tragic and twisted could happen to a country like the United States of America. Many think that the events that occurred on this day were acts of terrorism, while others think that it was a big conspiracy. After this event took place, terrorism became the primary focus of prevention.

The events that occurred on September 11, 2001 were also viewed as possible acts of conspiracy. The idea of a plane deviating from its course without action from any government agency in today’s modern technology is not possible. These planes were traveling at a rate of six hundred miles an hour. For them to hit their intended targets the government agencies were negligent. On September 11, 2001, 19 members, part of Islamic extremist group Al-Qaeda hijacked four Airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in
Pennsylvania. The attacks caused many deaths and destruction, directing all U.S government agencies to focus on anti- terrorism initiatives and focusing on how George W. Bush administration responds.

On September 11, 2001, at 8:45 a.m., the first American Airlines Boeing 767 flew directly into the North tower of the World Trade Center in New York City, crashing into the 80th floor, killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors. As the evacuation of the tower and its twin got underway, 18 minutes after the first plane hit a second Boeing 767–United Airlines Flight 175 suddenly appeared and hit the other tower around the sixtieth floor, causing a massive
