Ever since the late 1980s, Al-Qaeda has been wreaking havoc all around the world. The leader of the group once being Osama bin Laden. Three planes were bound for New York City while another plane headed towards Washington, D.C. which was supposed to take out the U.S. Capitol. Two of the airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center. One plane hitting the North Tower and the other hitting the South Tower. The third plane had crashed into the Pentagon taking out the western side of the building. The last and final plane was focused solely on taking out the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. but failed due to passengers of the plane coming hijacking it from the hijackers. The passengers attempted to take out the hijackers but sadly failed, crashing it into a field in Pennsylvania.

  • Cause And Effects Of New Orleans

    1102 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Army Corps of Engineers were supposed to be the ones that built the levees, and they were supposed to build them strong enough that they would protect the city of New Orleans. However, their engineering was severely faulty. Robert Bea even went as far to say that the levees were the “most tragic failure of a civil engineered system in the history of the United State” (Lee, 2006). The levees were supposed to be built to be seventeen feet below sea level and integrated into an earthen levee, but that did not happen. Colonel Lewis Setliff claims that the levees did not work as “they would have liked” (Lee, 2006). If they were not building them right, though, then they had to know that they were not going to work the way they were supposed to. Benny Pate points out that if they knew there was such a great chance the levees would break, knowingly building them incorrectly was like they were “letting it happen” (Lee, 2006). The people of New Orleans should have been able to expect that the levees would be built right which is why the level of government that appointed the Army Corps of Engineers for this job was neglectful in the prevention of Hurricane Katrina’s

There wasn 't event a bathroom and people had to urinate and defecate on the ground and some even died due to the poor conditions. A major cause of this issue was that there was a delay in the evacuation of the people of New Orleans. The delay caused “preventable deaths and “great suffering” according to a senate investigation. Another cause of this issue was the lack of busses used for the evacuation. Only after when the hurricane hit the city, the governor of the city asked FEMA for buses. To prevent this from happening again we must make sure that citizens are warned well before hand by using the media and other means. We should also make sure that facilities such as the superdome are well equipped with the things it needs for an event like this. There should be a stockpile of food, water, and other necessities to make sure that a disaster like this would go more
