...Before this, the first hijacked plane had hit the World Trade Center in Manhattan at 08:46. The last radio contact was at 08:50. Around 08:54 the airplane deviated to a new route, completely different from the one they had assigned, directing south to Washington D.C, (Roberts, Brian. "The September 11th Attack on the Pentagon." 13 March. 2002. Web 10 October. 2014). The Indianapolis Air Traffic Control Center and American Airlines dispatchers, tried several times to make contact with the aircraft but communication was impossible. When the terrorists occupied the airplane, it was flying over an area with no radar coverage. The velocity was about 530 miles per hour when it flew into the western side of the Pentagon, at 9:37. Before hitting the wall, the plane hit the building first floor level, and once it crashed, moved slowly to the left, with the right wing elevated. The plane took about eight tenths of a second to completely penetrate the three rings starting a big fire. Approximately 18,000 persons were working in the Pentagon when the crashed occurred. On site firehouse responded immediately to the crash and civilian employees as well as military personnel evacuated the building after the impact. One hundred and eighty four lives were lost at the Pentagon that morning of September 11th of...

...Environmental and Global Health Issues Laralee Shaffmaster Western Governor’s University Environmental and Global Health Issues This paper on environmental and global health issues in community health nursing will discuss and analyze the communicable disease measles. It will present epidemiological data, causes, manifestations and the route of transmission for measles. A graphic representation of the measles outbreak will be presented to discuss the international pattern and movement of the disease. A discussion of how the measles outbreak could affect the community will also be presented. Next, this paper will present the appropriate protocol that a community health nurse will follow to report a SARS outbreak in the community. The last subject this paper will discuss is how a community health nurse modifies their care of clients with respiratory diseases during a time when the air quality index is poor. A. Measles Rubeola or measles is a respiratory disease. Measles is a virus that normally grows in the throat cells that line the back of the throat and lungs. Once infected, measles causes runny nose, fever, cough and a head to toe rash that occurs 14 days after exposure (CDC, 2013). A1. Outbreak In the year 2000 measles became eliminated in the United States. Elimination means the disease is no longer native to the U.S. and cases are not reported for a twelve month period in endemic proportions. Outbreaks occur when people travel to countries where the disease...

...communications in the high-rises. One button on the repeater system activation console in the North Tower was pressed at 8:54, though it is unclear by whom. As a result of this activation, communication became possible between FDNY portable radios on the repeater channel. In addition, the repeater’s master handset at the fire safety desk could hear communications made by FDNY portable radios on the repeater channel. The activation of transmission on the master handset required, however, that a second button be pressed. That second button was never activated on the morning of September 11 (THE 9/11 COMMISSION REPORT, page 297, Para 4).” The radios were not able to reach the repeater system and therefore the signals could not travel far. Without radio transmissions being able to reach those in charge, the firefighters were unaware of the situation and conditions they were entering in the North Tower on 9/11. Since September 11th, 2001, the Fire Department in New York City has greatly improved their overall radio communication systems. They “purchased Raytheon ACU-1000 interoperability gateways, which patch together radios operating on incompatible...

...September 11, 2001 9/11 was an inside job. A bold statement to a beginning of a bold paper. Several credible people support this claim. 9/11 is a very touchy subject, as it should be. This research paper will offend most people. The attack was very real. The deaths were very real. The people responsible for the attack was not the Taliban. 9/11 was an inside job, 9/11 was a false flag operation designed to get the American people to back a war that we had no business to be in. Moving forward know this, I have the upmost respect for our military and the lives lost due to 9/11.

...1. According to the 9/11 Commission Report (Chapter 11 – Foresight and Hindsight) “the 9/11 attacks revealed four kinds of failures: in imagination, policy, capabilities, and management.” Choose one of these categories and discuss how the U.S. government failed and what can be done in the future to avoid a similar failure. Although I feel that all of these categories can apply in some way or another, the category I choose to develop my question on is the failure of the management- both operational and institutional. From reading Chapter 11 Foresight and Hindsight in the 9/11 Commission Report, we can see how the management missed numerous opportunities in upsetting the 9/11 plot. According to the Commission’s Report the reasoning behind this is because “Information was not shared, sometimes inadvertently or because of legal misunderstandings. Analysis was not pooled. Effective operations were not launched. Often the handoffs of information were lost across the divide separating the foreign and domestic agencies of the government.” (The 9/11 Commission Report-Pg. 353) Al Qaeda adapted to the failure of our management operations to gain entrance into the United States. Presented in the chapter is an illustration of how operational management failed in protecting our homeland with the case of Mihdhar, Hazmi, and Salem and their trip to Kuala Lumpur. In brief summary, here are the operational opportunities that the United States missed in this case: “1. January 2000: The...

...9/11 Cover-up America's top military leaders drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in US cities to trick the public into supporting a war against Cuba in the early 1960s. Approved in writing by the Pentagon Joint Chiefs, Operation Northwoods even proposed blowing up a US ship and hijacking planes as a false pretext for war. [ABC News, 5/1/01, Pentagon Documents] 1996-2001: Federal authorities are aware for years before 9/11 that suspected terrorists with ties to Osama bin Laden are receiving flight training at schools in the US and abroad. One convicted terrorist confesses that his planned role in a terror attack was to crash a plane into CIA headquarters. [Washington Post, 9/23/01, CBS, 5/30/02, more] 1996-2001: On multiple occasions spies give detailed reports on bin Laden's location. Each time, the CIA director or White House officials prevent bin Laden's elimination.

All 15 should have been denied entry to the US. [Washington Post, 10/22/02, ABC, 10/23/02] Two top Republican senators say if State Department personnel had merely followed the law, 9/11 would not have happened.

...article Popular and Official Responses to 9/11 in Germany and The United States written by scholar Peter Knight. The article critically analyzes the conspiracy theories that emerged in American society years after the tragic events of 9/11. Knight’s main assertion through out the article, is that 9/11 conspiracy theories have more in common with the official reports of the events of 9/11 than many people would assume. He does this my showing comparing and contrasting the two accounts, highlighting the similarities in their narratives. Firstly, the author supports his claim by showing how they both reinforce an essentialist framework of thinking. Firstly, there was a rejection of any blame or accountability, as president Bush...
