...SEPTEMBER 11TH CONSPIRACY THEORIES On September 11th, 2001, four American Airlines flights were hijacked. All of the planes were full of passengers. One aircraft crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, one hit the Pentagon, and the other two hit the World Trade Center in New York City. Most Americans remember where they were when they this malicious series of events happened, and the shocking feeling they had when they heard the news. When this first happened most people were scared for their lives and the lives of their loved ones. It was not until later that people started to ask questions about who was behind these events. Allegedly, a number of terrorists affiliated with the group Al-Qaeda were responsible. A few months after the attacks of 9/11 a group of skeptics formed something called “The 9/11 Truth Movement”. This group found a number of occurrences and facts that make some of the attacks and other happenings of 9/11, not likely, possibly set up, and in some cases nearly impossible. One of the groups most popular claims was that the World Trade Center falling was a controlled demolition. After demolition experts reviewed the videos of the World Trade Center falling, they agreed with the skeptics of the 9/11 Truth Movement. According to experts the building falls as if many small explosives were planted on all sides and it exploded in a very specific order, just like in a controlled demolition. When videos of the World Trade Center falling are compared with a building...

...Perhaps the most poignant statement in Zakaria’s essay is one that highlights the changes seen in the American economy and its global position following the events of September 11, 2011, “the world was at peace, and the United States … posted a large budget surplus. Oil was at $28 a barrel… Today, America is at war across the globe; it has a deficit of $1.5 trillion and oil is at $115 a barrel. China is now the world’s second largest economy”. I can remember being a girl and thinking back on historical moments that had defined generations past. The assassination of President Kennedy, Pearl Harbor, the war in Vietnam; each of these historical events ultimately defined and shaped generations. Throughout my reflections, it would never cross my mind that my generation would become defined by the terroristic acts of Osama Bin Laden which played out on September 11, 2001 and years of war in the Middle East. Every American remembers where they were that morning. I was a sophomore in high school, sitting in my first period history class, when an announcement was made by our principal for all teachers to turn on the classroom television sets and allow students to watch the acts of terrorism made against the World Trade Center. We all watched in horror and disbelief, some of us in tears, as we realized that this was the start of a new America, 3000 lives were lost that day and there would be no turning...

...Name Course Instructor Date Cause and effect of September 11, 2001 terrorist attack Although often caused by nature, disasters can have human origins. Often it is the unpredictability of such disasters that causes fear, confusion and stress that have a lasting effect on the affected community. In recent history, the Sept 11th terrorist attack is one such example. This paper will examine the terrorists’ motivation towards committing the attack and the effect it had on the American society. According to Pedahzur (2006), terrorist groups exist for the purpose of planning and executing attacks to accomplish their mission. Included among the objectives of terrorism are demonstrating the group’s power over population and government, exact revenge for perceived persecution and satisfy the group’s vengeance while at the same time gaining publicity for their actions. Accordingly, the September 11 attacks can be interpreted both as a direct signal to the United States to behave in a certain way and as an indirect signal to potential sympathizers that the united states is not invulnerable. Looking at it from this point of view, it can be debated that the most important cause of the terrorist attack was to diminish US prestige in the Arab world by sending the message that the symbols of UC economic, military and political power could be attacked (Pedahzur, 2006). Terrorism can cause cascading effects that can have global effects. As the term alludes...

...Have you ever wanted to know more about the terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001. There are so many things to know about what happened on that day. Like when and how the towers fell down; from the burning jet fuel that melted the concrete and steel that supported the actual building.. Or how there were people that would jump out of the sides of the buildings instead of staying in. There are other things like how the people in the building and in the planes made heart wrenching phone calls to their friends and family who they would never see again. One of my favorite things is how these three firemen all helped each other to put up an american flag iIn the photo. The flag functions as a symbol for the idea that america will not be defeated....

...A tragedy happened on September 11th, 2001. Our nation witnessed an unbearable, emotional terrorist attack on live television. The Twin Tower was destroyed by two planes that flew into the south and north tower. Moreover, the aftermath took “3.1 million hours of labor to clean up 1.8 million tons of debris at a total cost of cleanup of $750 million”. The impact caused polluted air throughout the city. Thousands of hard working people died. Thus, 9/11 became a terrible event in America that impacted memories and lives. The Twin Towers were known for its massive architecture in New York City.

...most often accept the music because they feel the same way but do not know how to express their true emotions. Music provides a distraction from these feelings if the artists can capture the current feeling of society into a song. The few artists who are able to do this are among the most popular in history. One artist that represents the emotion of America after the tragedy of the suicidal bombing of the twin towers on September 11, 2001 is country singer Toby Keith. On September 11, 2001, the unexpected occurred when the two world trade centers, now American symbols of hope, faith, and commitment, were destroyed by terrorist bombs. Commitment to your country. Commitment to patriotism. As history is bound to repeat itself, it was time for a new musical artist to capture the hearts of the American people and provide a distraction from reality and a sense of hope for society to believe in. One of the few artists that emerged from the rebel of war was Toby Keith. Although communication researchers predicted that hit songs immediately following the September 11th attack on the world trade centers would be more emotionally negative and about sadness, sorrow, grief, or mourning in general, they were wrong. They predicted that hit songs would have the mentioning of the attack in the lyrics but instead discovered that many popular songs were positive right after 9/11. Over the years a small but steady increase in the number of patriotic...

...Revealing September 11th John J. Koenig Professor Isaacs April 14, 2015 ENG 123 Abstract September 11th, 2001 took the world by surprise. An ordinary day turned into a disaster that led America into the war in Iraq. Many were touched on this day with the fear of our own safety. Looking back at everything that happened on 9/11 it is hard to believe that solely people did this from the Middle East. Research shows that the towers did not collapse from planes striking the buildings. The truth of 9/11 remains to be seen but the evidence does in fact suggest that this was a planned attack. September 11th 2001 was a standout amongst the most critical days in world history. Its effect will be felt for a considerable length of time to come. Many were killed on this day and millions were affected. This is a greatly confused story with various players and intentions. Not everything bodes well or fits flawlessly together. It's a story brimming with secret activities, duplicity, and falsehoods. The Bush administrations along with Larry Silverstein are some of the big names with ties to September 11th, 2001. This story has many coincidences that people choose to ignore but when looking carefully, these are not mere accidents. This is something that needs to be thought of. If there are forces out there deceiving the people, they can only succeed on the chance that we, the overall population, stay oblivious and uninvolved. Americans find it hard to believe that our leaders are capable...
