How do people celebrate on the day of the tragedy on September 11, 2001? How do people remember that day? How do people born on that day react to it in the future? Up until September 11 it has been the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. Some people could say different that this had been the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil, but some may agree it had been the most deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. The deadliest event that happened before 9/11 is when, people watched the abduction and murder of Israeli athletes during the Munich Olympics in 1972.

Osama Bin Laden and how he is the mastermind behind the attacks on September 11 and how he believed the United States is weak. Everyone celebrates September 11 differently from birthdays to anniversaries.
My family celebrates September 11 like it’s any other day, even though it's actually not. In fact, some people celebrate in totally different ways. Aimee Lee the author of “A Day to Dance or Weep?” wrote about Holly Hotchner who states what she does to celebrate September 11 (Lee 2). Holly Hotchner bought a big tin of caviar and a quantity of vodka. “And that is a tradition I've continued” she said. “Although the tin has gotten smaller I spent too much that year.” This is one example of a different type of celebration people do to celebrate September 11. In addition, I interviewed my sister since she is born on September 11. I asked her the following question, “How do you think you will celebrate your birthday in the future?” She answered by the following, “ I will celebrate it with colors red, white, and blue; I will stay home because that’s a day when people are sad about what happened.” Aimee Lee the author of “A Day to Dance or Weep?” wrote an article about Catherine Karp. Some people born on September 11 decide to celebrate their birthday on a different day since that day is so tragic (Lee 4). For example, Catherine Karp doesn't think it feels right to celebrate on her actual birthday, which is September 11. Catherine Karp considered celebrating her birthday on September 10 or 12. “But that doesn't seem right,” she said. Even if I was born on that day, I would still want to celebrate it on …show more content…
that day. I would want to celebrate it on that day because that is the day I would be born, not any other day. What do people celebrate besides birthdays on September 11? Aimee Lee the author of “A Day to Dance or Weep?” wrote an article about Elizabeth Brown-Inz. While some people celebrate birthdays on September 11, some people celebrate their anniversaries or weddings that day (Lee 5). Elizabeth Brown-Inz chose to have her wedding to John Kingman on September 11. Kingman said, “I'm not superstitious, and I decided September 11 was fine.” Some people would think people are crazy for choosing 9/11 as their wedding day but not everyone thinks that. What do you think your community does to celebrate the anniversary of September 11? Aimee Lee, “A Day to Dance or Weep?”, Dahlia Gruen. While some communities do nothing some communities pay a tribute to their local police and firefighting men and women. (Lee 4) Dahlia Gruen created a website called “Birthday Spirit”, encouraging fellow September 11 birthday babies to take a cake to their local firehouse. “I wanted to change the way I celebrate”, said Gruen. People that are born or have an anniversary on September 11 celebrate in different ways. To conclude these are some of the ways people celebrate September 11. What do people do to remember September 11? Everyone remembers September 11 somehow the same. Some remember what they were doing at the time of the attacks, while some were just one or two at the time so they don't remember as well. Aimee Lee, “A Day to Dance or Weep?” author wrote about Parker Johnson. Although, no one will remember this day as a good day except for Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist group. “It's hard to celebrate when you know thousands of people are directly mourning a loss, and millions of others are mourning indirectly. I did not have a big blowout 40th birthday because of September 11. It's the 800 pound gorilla in the corner.” said Johnson (Lee 3). I would never know what it feels like to be born on September 11 after a serious tragedy. But it will still affect me knowing that it had happened in my home country of the United States of America. Since I am only 16 I don't remember what happened that day, but it still affects me since my sister and step sister and brother were all born on that day. If it affected anyone in my family it would more than likely be my sister or mom and dad for having a baby on that day. Everyone was doing something different that day. For example, my dad was driving to work while on the radio he heard that the World Trade Center had been hit by a plane. My mom was at home taking care of me since I had only been a year and a half old. People born on September 11 have mixed emotions about the day being their birthday. Dana Foote says the following about showing her personal ID to anyone needing to see it: “I preface showing my ID by saying, ‘It's a strange birthday” (Lee 2). If my birthday was on September 11 and I had to show people my license I would hope no one would say anything about it, because you can't choose the day you are born. Anyone with the birthday would think it is sort of strange. Madi Marjamaa had personally interviewed her sister, Rachel Marjamaa since she was born on September 11, 2002. I had interviewed my sister with the following question, “How do you react to 9/11 being your birthday?” (Marjamaa 1) She answered by saying, “It's weird because all of the people who remember what happened, say what they were doing that day and everyone is like it stinks that you were born that day. Since it is September 11 and your birthday is then.” If I had been born on September 11, I would probably feel the same. To conclude, I would personally not want my birthday on September 11, I would never think of it as a birthday after what had happened. In fact, Osama Bin Laden was the mastermind behind all of this.
In fact Osama Bin Laden had been behind more attack attempts than just the attacks of September 11. In the article “September 11 Attacks” on the Britannica School website, it talked about Osama Bin Laden and his attack attempts. He also thought that the United States was weak. McDonnell Janet A., the author of “Responding to the September 11 Terrorist Attacks”, had wrote an article about Osama Bin Laden. Osama Bin Laden himself did not emerge as a signal threat until the late 1990s. (McDonnell 2) Bin Laden had a group of people helping him with his September 11 attack. In fact, he even had a code to let his other people know when the attack would occur. (Britannica School 3) In the morning of August 29, 2001, one of Bin Laden's people called other people from their clan and had him figure out a riddle. The riddle they had to solve was, “Two sticks, a dash and a cake with a stick down - what is it?” After figuring out the riddle they found out that the attacks would occur in two weeks- the two sticks being the number 11 and the cake with a stick down a 9. Putting the riddle together, it meant that the attacks would occur September
11. To conclude, in this essay I talked about how celebrate September 11, how they remember September 11, birthdays, weddings and anniversaries on September 11, Osama Bin Laden and how he is the mastermind behind the attacks on September 11. Osama Bin Laden had tried many attacking attempts on different places. Everyone around the world is affected by 9/11 in different ways. I am affected by it because that is the day my sister and two step siblings were born. I don't have very much to remember from 9/11 since I was only one and a half years old, but from the stories of September 11, 2001 I have been told, it isn't like a normal fun filled day like any other day in the United States. If I had been born on September 11, before 2001 I would be more affected than being born in 2000. But if I was born a couple years before September 11, 2001 I would be affected without a doubt. I personally think it would be cool to be or get married on September 11. If I got married on September 11 I would think of it as a happily sad day. Being happy that I got married, but sad being the World Trade Center had been struck by terrorists. Osama Bin Laden had been the leader in the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Now that 9/11 has happened, things have gotten safer like traveling and security. Traveling has gotten safer from security like for planes people are being checked before every flight. If they had not done anything about the September 11 attacks I would, more than likely not go on a plane till they got planes safer.
September 11, 2001 was a day that Americans and the world for that matter will not soon forget. When two planes went into the twin towers of the World Trade Center and two others went into the Pentagon and a small town in Pennsylvania, the world was rocked. Everyone in the United States felt very vulnerable and unsafe from attacks that might follow. As a result, confidence in the CIA, FBI, and the airlines were shaken. People were scared to fly after what had happened.
Official reports states, that many top US government officials were warned by other countries, top governments long before while before the 911 attacks. Between June and August 2001, German intelligence warned the (CIA) that Middle Eastern terrorists were training for hijackings targeting American interests. Russian President Vladimir Putin alerted US officials, “there were suicide pilots training for attacks on US targets”, (Shovelan, 2004-06-23). On August 6th 2001 President Bush was said to receive an intelligent briefing warning him, that Osama Bin Laden might be planning to hijack American airlines. That briefing was titled “Bin Laden determined to strike in the US”. In this briefing the (WTC), was specifically mentioned. Mr. Bush later claimed in a statement that the briefing ...
Osama bin Laden was an adversary of the West for years and it was known to the whole world. Unfortunately, he took it a little further by having two planes fly into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and another plane possibly for the White House. As we all know, this is the unforgettable day of September 11, 2001. Thousands of Americans were innocently murdered that day and in our own country by a terrorist organization. The United States of America would not stand for this and rapidly sought out Osama Bin Laden for what he had done to us. This is the day that caused the United States to accelerate the search and destruction efforts of bin Laden. Soon after September 11th, the United States was very involved in Afghanistan in trying to find him.
The day of 9/11 is a day that will be in the back of everybodys minds for lifetime. On that sorrowful day four passenger airplanes were highjacked and ultimately crashed. Two of the airplanes crashed into each of the Twin Towers located in New York City. After the buildings burned for around 20 minutes they fell to the ground bringing along millions of tons of debris that killed many workers from both towers. One of the other airplanes crashed into the Pentagon also killing many innocent people. The last airplane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania after many believe that the passengers over powered the highjackers. Many people still morn the deaths of the victims from 9/11. From the second the planes crashed, people have tried to make money from this ordeal, making it one of the most advertised and talked about issue the US has ever seen.
One of the most devastating terrorist attacks in United States history, 9/11, has taken the
¨We shall never forget, We shall keep this day, We shall keep the events and the tears In our minds, our memory and our hearts and take them with us as we carry on.¨ by: Anonymous (Memorial Website). An epic turn in history all around the world, around 3000 people lost their lives, the two world trade center’s crashed into pieces, the pentagon was crashed… all of this occurred on September 11, 2001. This date till today causes people to tear, as they remember themselves watching the event occur in person, TV or websites. The entire world was watching while it occurred. This attack caused a great impact all around the world, no one could believe what was happening and how. As soon as people got the news they realized that in a blink of an eye one of the biggest tragedies in the history of the United States of America had hit. This date caused negative impact on all kind of industries especially the aviation industry, in this paper you will learn exactly how this industry was affected.
September 11, 2001 is known as the worst terrorist attack in United States history. On a clear Tuesday morning, there were four planes that were hijacked and flown into multiple buildings by a terrorist group named al Qaeda. This group, led by Osama bin Laden, killed nearly 3,000 people. Out of those 3,000 people more than 400 police and 343 firefighters were killed along with 10,000 people who were treated for severe injuries. Many lives were taken, and to this day, people still suffer from the attack. September 11th is the most influential event of the early twenty-first century because it made an increase in patriotism, it caused a rise in security throughout the nation, and it had a tremendous effect of thousands of lives.
September 11, 2001 is a date in American history that will not be forgotten by American citizens. After the assault on both the Twin Towers in Manhattan, and the
September 11 is not just about mourning, it's about the community giving back hope. It is about police forces and firefighters in N.Y , the servicemen and females in the Pentagon, including the many passengers in the flights. September 11 was a day of disgrace, but it was also a day of bravery, and of integrity.
September 11th, 2001 is one of the worst days in the United States of America’s history by far. It all began at 8:45am when a stolen airplane crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. Many people believed that this was...
There were numerous events and threats leading up to the terrorists attacks on the World Trade Center which left chaos amongst the streets of downtown New York City and would leave America and its families devastated and prone to change after this infamous date in our nation’s history. What happened on September 11th, 2001 was without a doubt both horrific and ill natured. Multiple terrorists hijacked several US airliners that would later be flown into the North and South towers, the Pentagon, and also an unintended area in Pennsylvania. It can be said that the United States of America was unprepared and vulnerable for these occurrences.
On September 11, 2001, Osama Bin Ladin executed the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. The attack killed over 2,900 people, and since then America has changed in many ways. One example is the phobia people now have against people of Middle-Eastern decent or people that practice the Islamic religion. Since people think differently of these groups, they do not treat them with the respect they give to other people. They can be denied jobs, education, housing because of their religion and/or their Middle Eastern background. Another example on how America has changed since 9/11, is the airport security has grown largely. The new change can impact many travelers, as well it spends a lot of the American government’s money.
On September 11, 2001 terrorists crashed two American airline airplanes into Twin Towers, killing thousands of people. It was the worst terrorist attack in American history and it showed us that we are not protected by Atlantic and Pacific. It showed us that we could be attacked by anyone at anytime. It showed us that if we will be attacked again that we can only depend on each other and not on other nations to help us. The 9/11 changed people forever, some lost family members or friends, others lost their jobs even so called “American Dream.”
Who can be identified as the terrorists responsible for the September 11th attacks? New reports are pointing at Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al-Qaida (Arabic for “the base”), an international network responsible for the strikes on U.
We all heard of 9/11. I mean who hasn’t heard of 9/11, do you guys know who planned and attacked the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and try to hit the U.S Capitol. It is Osama Bin Laden the dead terrorist and the leader of Al Qaeda. Osama Bin Laden is a terrorist that bombed the U.S and the western philosophy by attacking U.S embassies, the Oklahoma city suicide attack and a lot more suicide attacks that are really dangerous. He was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1957 or 1958.
