9/11 Research Paper
The image is of 9/11. 9/11 took place on September 11 2001 and was in Manhattan, New York. The attack was a terrorist attack on the United States and was targeted at the twin towners in the heart of Manhattan. 2 planes were hijacked and sent straight into the 2 towers causing fire in each then causing the towers to collapse. The entire ordeal left over 2996 people dead and thousands of people injured. The attack was done by al-Qaeda and controlled by Osama Bin Laden.
I have selected the image because I have spent so much time watching documentaries, researching and reading up on the event so much that I know a lot about the event including the conspiracy theories that surround the event. Also I selected 9/11 because it is an event that seriously changed the world, travel was changed completely and security became a lot tougher both on the plane and inside the airport.
Questions: Why was security so poor, even though before 9/11 there were plenty of hijackings and attempted hijackings?
How did these people make it into the United States in the first place?
Why did president bush take so long to react to the reports?

After a long hard battle throughout the game it came down to the last few seconds the ball was kicked to David Zaharakis who was in just his fourth game who turned around and kicked an absolute beauty to give the bombers the lead. The ball was then bounced and siren went, Zaharakis in his rookie season had become a hero and had given the bombers the ANZAC game victory over Collingwood 93-88. The reason I have selected this image is because I am an Essendon fan and I will never forget the moment he kicked that goal, it was incredible and has stuck with me 8 years

    Likely it is because Muslims have been responsible for two of the most prominent terrorist attacks in the past century, including 9/11 in the USA and the November 13 attacks in Paris. There is a clear link between 9/11 and Islam since the group that committed the attack was named “Al-Qaeda,” a self-proclaimed “Islamic” extremist group. I personally know three students in my class in New Jersey who lost a parent during this attack. I remember the videos online of the attack, still evoking strong emotion. It was a day that no American will ever forget. It was also the day where many began to accuse Islam, rather than Islamic extremists, for these attacks. Most of the accusers have never read the Quran, some did not even know where the Middle…

    It was the start of a huge war to find Osama bin Laden. No one would have thought that waking up on September 11, 2001 could have turned out to be their worst day of their lives. Osama bin Laden and his terrorist group al-Qaeda ruined and did severe damage to a lot of people's lives. To obtain further understandings on the attack more information would be needed. It would be compelling to know where Flight 93 was heading. It could have killed way more people than just the passengers on the plane. It is crazy how one man can create such big…

    When former President George W. Bush said, "Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children.” He had no idea how precise his words were more than a decade later. It has been about twelve years since 9/11 and for many people it seems like just yesterday when they witnessed the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center tumbling to the ground, United Airlines Flight 93 hurtling into a meadow in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and the abysmal hole left behind at the Pentagon after the impact of American Airlines Flight 77. Countless people lost family members or knew someone who did. However, whether or not you lost one of the 2,996 victims, everyone felt the singe left behind by the sinister and corrupt events that transpired that fateful day. Although the terrorist attacks affected everyone in ways we cannot imagine, by learning more about the origins of 9/11, we can comprehend the perplexing situation and possibly find a way to safeguard lives to prevent such a tragedy from occurring again.…

    September 11, 2001 was an unforgettable day when many people lost there lives and sadly, airport security failed at three different airports. Airport security is a big deal all across the country and we depend on the use of the security for the safety of our own lives along with the others around us. There were many attacks throughout history that helped the airport to see what there weaknesses were, which helps strengthen their current security systems. 9/11 was a big impact on the world and caused grief to many families, but all that grief could have been avoided if they were caught in the airport! Airport security went from relaxed to strict very quickly. There were many changes in the security before 9/11, during 9/11, and after 9/11 that strengthened the security in airports today!…

    There were multiple flaws in the way the United States protected its borders. Before September 11th, 2001, the United States conducted homeland security operations using 40 different federal agencies. Information gathered on suspected terrorist activity was not shared through the homeland security community. Due to the “need to know” attitude by different organizations, i.e. the Central Intelligence Administration, (CIA), Federal Bureau of Investigations, (FBI), many opportunities to connect the dots were missed. The CIA had received information that Al Qadae was planning an attack against the U.S. Meanwhile, the FBI posted a report on July 2001 regarding potential terrorist interest in learning to fly. One month later Zacarias Moussaoui, the alleged 20th hijacker, was arrest for immigration charges. A tip was provided to the FBI at a Minnesota Flight training school where Moussaoui was training. If the CIA had connected the dots to recent activity of Al Qadea and that Moussaoui was an Al Qadea operative the tragedy might have been disrupted. A 9/11 Commission Report list a number of…

    My reaction to 9/11 was that it was a very horrific event. To borrow President Roosevelt's words I believe that it is a day that will live in infamy. I do not know how someone could murder all those people. In my opinion Osama bin Laden and President George W. Bush were both responsible. The obvious reason for saying Osama bin Laden was responsible is because he set it up and had his men commence the attack. I believe George W. Bush was also responsible because I think that there was a way for him to prevent this and the loss of innocent life.…
