My topic is related to terrorist acts. We all know or at least have a little notion of the most famous terrorist act in the world which is 9/11 or September 11. So, I'm going to start with a little introduction of where and when it was. As it says in its name, this couple of attacks were carried out on September 11, 2001 in Manhanttan, New York at 8:46 a.m. But in reality, the attack on the twin towers was only one of several objectives in the United States as they also occurred in Ohaio, Arlington and Shanksville but in this case I'm only going to focus on the twin towers attack. Now, the important question is: what happened? the attack consisted of the collision of two aircraft at key points of the twin towers The first aircraft to reach its goal was American Airlines Flight 11. It was crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan in New York City at 8:46 a.m. m. Seventeen minutes later, at 9:03 a.m. m., the South Tower of the World Trade Center was hit by United Airlines Flight 175. Both towers collapsed in one hour and forty-two minutes, leading to the collapse of the other World Trade Center structures, including the 7 World Trade Center, and significantly damaging the surrounding buildings. resulting in hundreds of injured and deceased people. And the president? In the next photo we can see who was the president of the USA, George Bush Bush at that time was at Sarasota Elementary School in Florida. Here the president was alerted to the attacks and, in fact, we can see Bush's reaction and the shock can be appreciated.
Now, everyone knows who Oshama Bin Laden
and his terrorist group Al Caeda are. He was the leader of this group and from 2001 to 2011 he was persecuted by the American army because of the war against terrorism declared by President George Bush.
It was reported that Osama bin Laden was killed
during a US military action on May 1, 2011. Bin Laden's identity was confirmed by comparing preserved DNA samples from his dead sister with DNA from the lifeless body. The body was taken by elements of the US armed forces after the attack, and remained in their possession
The destruction of the World Trade Center and
nearby infrastructure seriously damaged New York City's economy and created a global economic recession. Many countries strengthened their anti-terrorism legislation and expanded the powers of law enforcement and intelligence agencies to prevent terrorist attacks. Civil airspaces in the United States and Canada were closed until September 13, while Wall Street operations were closed until September 17. Many closures, evacuations and cancellations followed, out of respect or fear of further attacks. The cleanup of the World Trade Center site was completed in May 2002, and the Pentagon was repaired within a year. Construction of the replacement World Trade Center complex began in November 2006, and the building opened in November 2014 Today September 11 is a commemorative date because thousands of deceased people are remembered. Until now, 9/11 is the greatest terrorist act in history, a sad memory for humanity.
