Nine 11 Video Analysis
I learned a lot about nine-eleven from the video that I had not known before. The video that we watched was truly eye opening to the evilness of was happened on nine eleven, and I am thankful that I could watch and learn from it.
The first thing that I learned was that the attack had been more than ten years in the making, which is quite a long time. I had not known about the truck bombing of the towers. I learned a lot more about Osama Bin Laden than I had known previously. I learned that he was actually very wealthy, and more or less founded the Al Qaeda. As well as how in 1996, Bin Laden wrote a declaration of war with the US.
The video we watched was very eye opening. The part of the video that affected me most was the time between the

The amount of people who lost their lives that day, surprised me a whole lot. I had never really understood the evilness and amount of death on that day, and learning about it was almost frightening.
I chose to interview my dad about his experiences of nine eleven.
My dad first heard of the events of nine eleven on nine eleven. He was working at his job when he hear of the events. His first thoughts were, “We’re going to be at war with somebody”. What he remembered most was, going outside and seeing the westboro baptist church protest in downtown topeka holding signs that said, “God Hates America,” and having to hold his friend back from running down the street and beating them. He remembered feeling concerned for my Grandma and Aunt, who had just recently traveled to New York City, fortunately they had just returned the day before. He responded by watching it unfold on TV, he said that no work got done for the rest of that day. My view and my Dad's view of the events of nine eleven are about the same; we both think it was really bad. My Dad remembers it happening and feeling the evilness of that day, were as I watch it happen many years later, but the feeling of hatred still

    (Mom) I remember walking out of my office to go get a cup of coffee and a co-worker came out of his office. He said, “Did you hear a plane just crashed into the twin towers?” I said, “What you’re kidding?" That was the first I heard of the attacks.…

    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.…

    Hearing the event from the perspective of a person who wasn’t directly affected or near the crash introduces a whole new type of experience. People, who like my parents, only received notice of the crash because of a family member they had no idea was in any kind of danger. My parents, at the time, weren’t aware of the importance of the Twin Towers or this possibility of a new worry of terrorism. They were able to be reassured simply by the fact that every loved one in the U.S then was okay. This particular perspective added to my knowledge of the personal experiences of the event, how the impact of the event can immediately increase because of a loved one being involved. Another detail from the interview that added to my knowledge was my mom…

    ¨The September 11 attacks were precipitated in a large part because Osama bin Laden, the leader of the militant Islamic organization al-Qaeda Held native beliefs about the United States in the run-up to the attacks¨(The Plot). A little under 3,000 people were killed during 9/11. Everyone woke up normally getting ready for work or school, no one would have thought this would have been the worst terrorist attack in US history. People were surprised on how they planned all of the attacks and people to this day still wonder of where the Flight 93 was heading. People are scared everyday that this will happen again.

    Yes, the video was very informative. What stood out to me was that the people with mental issues aren't getting the same care as others. Especially the people that deal with mental health in jails which make it worse because they're surrounded by four walls all day without no one to talk to or do…

    It was a normal September day. I was 14 years old and had just arrived home on the school bus with my sister from a long day at school and was looking forward to skateboarding and playing with my dog. When I opened my front door I came in to only find my mother with a look of nervousness in her eyes as she stared at the t.v. (1-channel, Haun 4). There was a building on fire and the man on the news was saying the words “terrorist attack” over and over (2-linear transaction, Haun 3). We were living in England at the time so we didn’t have to deal with school being let out early and all of the rest of the chaos that people back home did. All we could do was watch and listen to what people back home were saying.…

    On September 11, 2001, the world changed. It was said to be a beautiful day, almost perfect. Then in an instant, a plane smashed into one of the Twin Towers. The building instantly lit on fire and the whole city went into a panic. There was debris falling everywhere, and even six blocks away from the building, you could see dozens of papers raining down from the sky like ashes from a fire. Police officers and firefighters were constantly rushing in and out of the building, salvaging every single life they could. Most thought it was a freak accident, but some say they knew from the beginning. It seemed so tragic that nobody could imagine a person who would do something so horrible intentionally. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the second tower was hit.…

    9/11 reflection

    How could this terrible thing even ever happen? For this to happen is like the chances for me to win the lottery. How wasn’t the US military or air force able to prevent this from happening? It just very depressing to find out how many people who died from this incident. But I cannot really feel the moment that most people had because I was only two years old, but I really can feel the intensity and soreness that most people feel about 9/11. Learning more about 9/11, I really wonder how the security is advanced now than twelve years ago when 9/11 happened. Founding out about 9/11, I really got to see how the nation got so much closer after 9/11 happened, and that it didn’t matter about your race or age. Many lives were changed after this dramatic incident happened. This incident makes me think differently now than I did before, about situations that happens in my life.…

    I don’t think any American can forget where they were when 9/11 happened. I was going into my history class when I learned about it. My teacher had the T.V. on even though the administration asked the teachers to turn the TV’s off. We watched it and discussed what was going on for the entire hour and a half that we were in the class. My teacher was very emotional and crying and so were some of the students. Some of the students were in shock and others were oblivious to what this meant for our country. I was emotional myself. This was such a tragic event and I didn’t think it would be an event that would affect my life the way that it did. I think I was too young at the time to truly understand the seriousness that would come out of the attacks of 9/11. This tragic event changed America in so many ways.…

    Its crazy how a person can live with themselves after killing children and people and even being able to plan this attack for more then half a year. The scene that really impacted me was when the fire fighter said how when he looks at his own child he sees the kid that passed away in his arms, just crazy how it affects everyone not just the people and the families that were in the building. What really amazed me is how they where able to track this suspect down, and how well the different communities helped on making it possible. It took to days to stop this man and all it took was a car without a plate really shows that these people are not as smart as they think they are.Terrorism is everywhere we live in a free country and that makes it hard to detect terrorist, but we should never let our guard down because its here and it will always be here. This act comes to show that terrorist will do what ever it takes to try to get there point across and they do not care who it hurts. I do believe that anyone who commits a mass murder like the one in Oklahoma should be killed right away to set an example that the American population and government will not mess around with this kind action and will do what ever it takes to stop…
