Terrorist Attack On 9-11 All of us have heard of the event “9/11”. In September 2001, when Osama Bin Laden decided to attack symbolic targets. He made the decision to attack the Pentagon, and the world trade centers (twin towers). The terrorist attack on 9-11 is one of the most known attacks because of how many people died, and mentally/emotionally hurt.
The Oklahoma City bombing was a domestic terrorist truck bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in the United States on April 19, 1995. To comfort the American people and show the families of the people who died that the American people are mourning with them, former President Bill Clinton issued a memorial address. I believe this was necessary and his speech was effective on the grounds that President Clinton was able to create an emotional connection with his audience by ensuring a sense of comfort and giving advice to the many Americans who were astonished by this act of terrorism.
Most people wanted to make things go back to the way they were before these attacks. People mourned these attacks and felt sorry for the victims and their
The massive explosion caused burning debris to shower over the surrounding buildings and onto the streets below, which made it clear that America was now under attack. The terrorist attack killed 2,977 people. This awful event left a scar on America’s society. American Airline Flight 11 was hijacked and flown into the north tower of the World Trade Center
Both these events left the nation in shock and took quite a while for everything to get back to normal. Of course, these events have not been forgotten. It 's just sad how both these events have led to more terrorism acts in the world. We will never forget the tough times this nation has gone through and even if there will be more times this nation will struggle, we the people will be there to try and restore justice. We the people will be there ready to fight back.
On September 11, 2001, many lives were changed forever when terrorists decided to crash a total of four airplanes into the Pentagon outside of Washington, D.C., the two World Trade Center towers in New York, and a field in Pennsylvania. While
The 9/11 tragedy was a moment where people had their guard up at all times. This was a time where life had strike to reality of time warfare with every person and country. Couldn’t trust no one that came to the U.S. America is the land of the free and the home of the brave, were brave because the generations before us had to face what had happened and to what is going to happen. This had left the buildings torn instantly killing hundreds of many people, getting them stuck in the higher floors. This attack was the worst in America ever since the Pearl Harbor All over our nation saw a major impact of devastation in the face of the September 9, 2001attacks.
¨Even when our heart aches, we summon the strength that maybe we didn't even know we had, and we carry on; we finish the race. ¨ Boston was devastated when the bombing occurred during the Boston Marathon. Obama´s speech conveys the message that Boston is strong, brave, determined and not to let terrorism destroy our city and people. In the speech the message portrayed to the country is not to be afraid and how as a country we can pull together after a heartbreaking occurrence is conveyed through a variety of literary strategies. Literary devices are used in everything we read and the speech given after the Boston marathon bombing by the President of the United States concentrates on colloquial and dialogue.
People also went on protest for these victims and their losses this put their lives in danger, but they did this even with the dangerous circumstances even then they walked off from their protest and went to help the families. “The town’s bus drivers, who were on strike that day, walked off their picket lines and went back to work. Bakeries went into overdrive production, hospitals staffed up, and many of the townspeople opened their homes and offered their beds to the ‘plane people. ’”(Gander) In many situations humanity takes many forms and is still their in a time of
Many things happen on a daily bases that can change our world around us. Some can affect our world more than others. We cannot stop it. It is how we live. That is life. Some make our world change for better and for worse. We do not make that decision though. The Boston Marathon bombing is an example of a horrific event that happened not to long ago that changed our world today. Just because this event occurred in a certain place does not mean it cannot affect anywhere other than Boston. Not only has it caused us to be more aware of terrorist attacks, but it has also changed a lot of Americans outlook on Muslim countries. This event has caused terrible memories for most Americans. Memories that will never be erased from our minds and better
Although the attacks happened thirteen years ago, many families are still mourning the deaths of loved ones. There were 2,996 casualties resulting from the attacks including all the individuals on the planes, in the towers, and in the pentagon. Sadly, the mothers, brothers, sisters, and fathers of the people who lost their lives will always remember this day greatly and think back on the memories of their family members. Along with the deaths and sorrow this day brought, there were other lasting effects of this event. Security has since tightened and is no longer an afterthought.
On September 11, 2010, three jets were hijacked and destroyed twin towers in New York City and hitting the Pentagon. This terrorist attack killed over a thousand of people and plotting a huge spot in history. It affected people who lost loved ones in the tragedy. It also made people feel people feel unsafe to go airplanes and to travel anywhere. As a result to 9/11 the government response was to fight back, because of their response it was criticized.
“At approximately 2:49 that afternoon, with more than 5,600 runners still in the race, two pressure-cooker bombs–packed with shrapnel and other materials and hidden in backpacks that were placed on the ground amidst crowds of marathon-watchers–exploded within seconds of each other near the finish line along Boylston Street. The blasts instantly turned the sun-filled afternoon into a gruesome scene of destruction and chaos” (“Boston Marathon Bombings”). Soon after the attack a manhunt set out in search for the two suspects. Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev were the Boston Marathon Bombers who caused an unexpected event that led to the manhunt. The bombings, along with the manhunt caused much chaos and destruction to the city as well as to the
