Introduction:
“If we learned nothing else from this tragedy, we learned that life is too short and that there is no time for hate.” More than 3,000 people were killed during the attack, the towers each were one hundred and ten stories tall.
Thesis:
September 11 is an unforgotten day because it was a day that traumatized humanity and it impacted the economy.
Body Paragraphs:
I. After all, there is approximately 100,000 people in New York that have post-traumatic stress disorder.
A. For example, Dr. Dessau revealed various body symptoms. Individuals feel guilty for not doing anything when they saw others falling down the towers. They try to forget anything that evokes them

of the tragedy that occured this day.
" Running naked from my bath, I saw paper and pigeons flying through the air. It was kind of beautiful in it’s own way. Silver pieces floating in the air. The flames get worse;I start seeing these people around the area and then I see this man with a white towel and he starts waving it, he jumps and kids start screaming. I couldn’t tear myself away.”
Many individuals are fighting to forget the horrible events that damaged their lives.
B. The percentage of post-traumatic increased among those who were closer to the attack.
Approximately 20 percent of people who lived under the Canal Street in N.Y.C, near the W.T.C, were found to have the disorder following the attacks.
Many individuals were substantially affected by September 11, the terrorists attack on the W.T.C and Pentagon; due to these attacks, humanity had wondered if there is an association between September 11 and the Post-traumatic stress disorder.
II. Furthermore, as it is said, the world revolves around money and the economy is the main key to share and gain back more money. The U.S has a leading role in this financial system because it is simply the largest and the most wealthiest country in the world.
A. September 11 did not just change America, it changed the nation as a whole impacting the whole economy.
According to a report, “The growing concern for security and the war on terror provided the greatest economic impact for the United States and the world.”
Economic effects were the most received ones.

The September 11 attack triggered off the destruction of the American economy.
B. The 9/11 attack had immediate and long-term economic impacts, and to this day some continue. The economic effects coming from the September 11 attack were initially shocking. It caused global stock markets to drop sprucely. The September 11 attack resulted in approximately 40 billion in losses of insurance. It led to one of the biggest government spending programs in the U.S. history, the War on Terror. The biggest economic impact of 9/11 was how the increased defense spending led the U.S. to a debt crisis.
Stated by President Bush, “Americans should not expect one battle but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen.” Bush launched the War in Afghanistan to find and to bring to justice Osama bin Laden, head of the al-Qaeda organization that launched the 9/11 attack.
The War on Terror reduced funds for stimulus programs to boost the country out of the 2008 financial crisis. Fewer careers were created, which meant less tax revenue, further increasing the

debt.
III. All in all, an iconic image is a most powerful reminder of an event that occurred in the past. It is something that often triggers an emotion. As such, they are documented in countless photographs and videos. For those who lived September 11, it is etched in memory. But it also lives forever in incredible images that were taken.
The image that I chose was the second tower of the W.T.C bursting into flames after being hit by a hijacked airplane in N.Y in this September 11 tragedy.
This image brought horror to those people who tried to exit the stairs on the floor where they were, but their escape was impossible.

The stairs were found to be locked. Murder is the meaning of 9/11. Everyone's life is hanged by a thread. People may be here today, but may be gone tomorrow.
Even though people aren't seen throwing themselves out the windows like in other images it is said that a spiritual image was seen in the smoke of that tower. September 11 is a day full of nightmares for many individuals.
B. Life doesn’t stop because an act of terror is happening nearby.
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.
Overall, 9/11 was a big deal, it changed America forever even though it was a tragic or horrific day in the American history. It was an era in which individuals acted honorably. September 11 experienced horrible hours, but it lead to the beginning of one of America's finest opportunities.

Conclusion:
September 11 is a tragic event that had a major effect on our community. It had various long-term negative effects: Physical health, Social, Psychological , and Economic effects. Individuals lost their lives this day. 9/11 was composed in United States history; it launched our economy into a huge shortfall and it engaged the U.S in a war.
The twin towers each had a workplace of approximately thirty five thousand people and over four hundred companies and in both more than 3,000 people were killed.
