September 11th attacks on American soil
were the result of years of bad blood
between the Western world and al Qaeda
this militant terrorist group was
founded in the late 1980s by Osama bin
Laden in an attempt to rid the Muslim
world of Western influence the group
then carried out numerous attacks they
first attempted to kill American
soldiers in Yemen in 1992 al Qaeda hit
on American soil in 1993 with the
bombing of New York City’s World Trade
Center more attacks followed but none
was as devastating as what happened in
September 2001

hijackers flew American Airlines flight
11 into the North Tower of Manhattan’s
World Trade Center at 902 United
Airlines flight 175 flew into its South
Tower
and this was witnessed on live
television by millions today we’ve had a
national tragedy two airplanes have
crashed into the World Trade Center in
an apparent terrorist attack on our
country 35 minutes later American
Airlines flight 77 crashed into the
Pentagon in Virginia not long after the
World Trade Center began to collapse and
many people remain trapped or struggling
to escape at 10:03 another hijacked
flight crashed in a field in
Pennsylvania it was later discovered
that United flight 93 was likely down by
a fight between the hijackers and
passengers the planes potential targets
were the US Capitol or the White House
by 10:30 a.m. both World Trade Center
towers had collapsed American airspace
was closed and high-profile buildings
throughout the country were evacuated in
total almost 3,000 people died in these
attacks
including the nineteen hijackers many
buildings near Ground Zero were
destroyed or condemned New York’s fire
and police departments were commended
for their actions and both teams lost a
number of members patriotism soared
following the attacks Americans
nationwide rallied to donate blood and
help with rescue efforts friendly
nations also helped and express
solidarity with the United States as
people scrambled for answers of some
event Laden’s surfaced as a suspect
al-qaeda’s connection to the crime
resulted in a rise in hate crimes
towards middle-eastern people throughout
the world immediately following these
attacks President George W Bush and New
York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani both
received high praise for their initial
management of the situation these
terrorist cowards are not going to be
allowed to break our spirit just weeks
after the attack Bush declared a war on
terror with the proposed goal of
eliminating the al-qaeda threat
throughout the world every nation in
every region now has a decision to make
either you are with us or you are with
the terrorists this prompted the launch
of Operation Enduring Freedom on October
7th 2001 when the United States first
went to war in Afghanistan this was
based on the assumption that al-qaeda
used that country as a base of
operations two years later the u.s.
invaded Iraq looking for weapons of mass
destruction these controversial
conflicts continued as Americans marked
the 10th anniversary of 9/11 at home the
Bush administration introduced the
Patriot Act in October 2001 this
facilitated intelligence gathering on
those suspected of terrorist ties and
was criticized in the years after its
enactment 911 s pervasive consequences
spread to the financial markets when the
New York Stock Exchange finally reopened
a week after the attacks the Dow Jones
had dropped drastically also the
struggling airline industry saw
increased regulations and security
promote a climate of fear meanwhile
numerous health problems plagued rescue
workers and
others who had inhaled toxic substances
during the attacks the US government
eventually okayed a bill in December
2010 that allocated funds to treat these
issues and slowly but surely the Ground
Zero site was rebuilt a Memorial and
Museum were erected on site however
controversy arose in 2009 surrounding a
proposed Muslim community center two
blocks from the site this was nicknamed
the Ground Zero mosque despite the fact
it was neither at Ground Zero
Noora mosque the debate suggested that
although years had passed wounds
regarding 9/11 had not yet healed that
healing process was aided by President
Barack Obama’s May 1st 2011 announcement
that Osama bin Laden had been captured
and killed by American forces while
hiding in Pakistan and on nights like
this one we can say to those families
who have lost loved ones to al-qaeda’s
terror justice has been done the news
prompted celebrations and helped close a
painful chapter in the history of the
United States
