Many people were killed in the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers, additionally those who jumped down from stories above and the hundreds who asphyxiated in the massive smoke that had spread from New York to Washington D.C.. Many Americans from that day on have sorrow and barren feelings from losing
Terrorism has emerged an issue that has major impacts upon society. It threatens our very way of life. Much of the world knew little of terrorism, and how devastating it could be; until 9/11/2001. This day now marks the coordinated terrorist attacks by Al-Qaeda, that occurred in the USA. All attacks involved the hijacking of commercial airliners.

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America divided two nations, yet knit one closer like the attacks on Pearl Harbor. There were many events that lead up to 9/11 that were only the beginning. The attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 was the finale.

the melting of the steel caging and that takes an intense amount of heat nowhere close to what the minor fires had achieved. The scientific theory is that it must have collapsed with help of an outside force such as demolition charges. The World Trade Centers’ fell in a way that has never occurred by a normal melting of the core. According to the U.S. media, “the combined heat from the fuel and combustion caused the cores of the towers to melt, and therefore collapse” (Feuer). But as many know
destruction, pain to many families, and many Americans to be dead, but out of the countless attacks, two from the many unforgettable and horrendous attacks that our nation has faced was the attack of Pearl Harbor in December 7, 1941 and the attack of the World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001.
