Abstract On September 11th 2001 the United States of America was attacked by terrorist. On this day the nation suffered its largest loss of life on its soil as a result of these hostile attacks. This tragic event also changed the political, economic, and cultural landscape of the United States. September 11th showed Americans that not even the strongest military country in the world can protect its citizens from terrorism.
"Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve." "We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them." (Bush, 2001). Those were the words of our 45th president George W. Bush. September 11th 2001 was a day of unprecedented shock and suffering in the history of the United States. In a seventeen minute period between 8:43 and 9:03 am New York City and the Port Authority of New Jersey mobilized the largest operation in this history, well over a thousand first responders had been deployed and evacuation had begun and the decision that the fires could not be put out had been made. On this day, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.
