9/11The secret service did not allow President Bush to go back to D.C. after the first 9/11 attacks happened, because it was still unsafe. There were rumors a plane was headed to attack the capitol or white house. Went to bunker at Offit Air force base because it was the safest place for him to be. He felt that he needed to go back to the white house, because that is his home and did not want to give terrorists the satisfaction of overcoming him. Speech that night was about letting the people know they were not going to stop until they found the people responsible, to keep the people living as normal as possible. All planes still in the air must land immediately, shot all planes down that did not follow those orders, close down all airports. The president did not blame anyone because looking back and complaining does no good, we need to move forward. Bush felt gratitude when Bin Laden died, he did not feel happiness.
