today we are doing blog discussions.
1. What happened?-2 planes crashed into the twin tours and 1 hit the pentagon and one crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. The one that landed in a field in PA was aiming at the White House. The president at the time was George W. Bush. Around 3 thousand people died. 342 firefighters died.
2. Who was responsible?-Al-Qaeda.
3. Why did they attack?-apparently the buildings they were aiming at were a threat to them. and the 3 major places that support our politics and army stuff. But in the end nobody knows why they really attacked us.
4. What effects did it have on the US?-major increase in airport security. the stock market dropped. it made us stronger and ready for an attack that may come at anytime. we started fighting back. homeland security. we became very more patriotic. it defiantly brought the country closer together. the clean up caused alot of job openings. racial profiling went way up.
5. my personal thoughts. i thought this made a very big impact on almost every ones life. specially the ones that lost loved ones. this attack caused good and bad for the US depends on how you look at it i guess.
