Thermodynamically, the heat and the temperature are related to each other in terms of heat capacity and density. Temperature doesn’t vary with the quantity of material while heat does. Temperature can’t be an important factor that influences the heat, the temperature of the fire at WTC wasn’t unusual and wasn't capable of melting steel which had passed ASTM E119 test. Jet fuel burns at 800o F to 1500o F, the heat wasn’t hot enough to melt steel. Towers were built to withstand a Boeing jet. “I designed it for a 707 to hit it”, Leslie Robertson, WTC structural engineer said. “As far as a plane knocking a building over, that would not happen.” Charlie Thornton, Structural Engineer told.

The plane was 125 feet long, however the hole left behind was 16 feet long, which lead a lot of people to question whether it was in fact the plane that crashed into the pentagon or was it hit by a foreign object and was made to look like a plane. 4.6.

A great terror struck our nation September 11, 2001, two aircraft’s hit the world trade centers, killing 2000 people and injuring over twice as many. A third aircraft flew into the Pentagon while a fourth crashed in a rural area in Pennsylvania. This day will forever be engrained into history as one of the worst terror attacks faced in this nation. Nearly three years later, in an attempt to figure out what happened on that tragic day, scholars came together to discuss the possible parallels between foreign and domestic terrorist. The author, Michael Kimmel, outlines the possible cause of the 2001 attacks and offers us a link between both foreign and domestic terrorism.
The events of 9/11 were a highly significant tragedy that had profound global implications. The attacks on the Twin Towers resulted in an immense loss of life, with 2,977 deaths, numerous casualties, and extensive destruction. Beyond the immediate human toll, the attacks triggered far-reaching changes in society and government. They prompted violent military responses and led to the establishment of Homeland Security in the US, accompanied by counter-terrorism campaigns and the enactment of the USA Patriot Act under President George Bush. Moreover, the attacks harmed Islamic views, increasing stereotypes and biases.
To openly identify as a Truther, one must be prepared to be labeled as a conspiracy theorist, crazy, and ultimately anti-American in some cases. It is often assumed that members of this movement hold conspiracy theories about other aspects of life, but that is simply not true for the most part. Many of the members only question the events of 9/11 and no other events in American history. There are a variety of opinions within the 9/11 Truth Movement ranging from the government had knowledge that the attacks were going to happen but did nothing to stop them, to the government planned and carried out these and many other attacks on their own citizens. Members of this movement wish for full disclosure from the government regarding what happened on September 11th and feel that the only way they will ever receive this is by putting the necessary pressure on the nation’s
At the time of the attacks, president George W. Bush was visiting Emma Booker Elementary School. In Document A, Bush expresses in a speech almost immediately after the planes hit the towers a need to “conduct a full-scale investigation to hunt down and to find those folks who committed this act.” This reflects most of the nation’s attitude of entering the battle against terrorism as soon as the news spread of the awful incidents that had occurred. The focus of the general public was on punishing those who took part in the attack as well as the Taliban leaders who harbored these terrorists. This caused the Authorization for Use of Military Force, Document B, to be passed a week later, on September 18th.
The events that occurred on September, 11, 2001 were among the most catastrophic events in American history. The events of the day were summarized as 19 militants associated with the terror group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out targeted attacks in the United States.

The attacks resulted in the deaths of over 3000 people and the beginning of a soon to come American counter terrorism policy and the subsequent invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Although there are a lot of conspiracy theories around the real motives and players behind the attack,
