Answer 3

1. No
2. I was in disbelief. I thought it was an accident when the first plane hit.
3. The events of 9/11 united us for a while but going after what some would say is the wrong enemy separated us even more.
4. I have two cousins that work in the city. I thought about them fight because I grew up with them as a family and was worried about them.
5. I now think that more security is a good thing even if it takes more time or infringes on our rights somewhat. However, there is a fine line on that infringement and I think this administration has gone too far in some instances.
6. The towers actually falling. Living in NJ I frequently see the NY skyline and the place where the towers once stood still seems eerily open to me. Every time I look I still except to see them there.

Answer 4

1. No.

2. I thought it was a cruel joke. My mom just woke me up fro school and said, "hey, someone attacked The Pentagon and The World Trade Center." So I just sat there watching. I wasn't scared of terrorist attacks, I was just afraid of how it would change things.

3. It's hard to tell...you're talking about all of America here. I think we realized that we do have more security issues than we previously believed--we aren't all safe at home (as we believed). For some, it made us question the motivations of the federal government and intelligence agencies due to the lack of action taken before the events with the knowledge we had.

4. No one. I didn't know anyone flying or who lived in New York, or Washington. I thought about if my friend was watching, but I'd tell her in thirty minutes at school anyways.

5. Not the events themselves, just what happend afterwards. I thought I was already pretty openminded(/cynical) of our government, but apparently there is always more room for scrutiny.

6. The second tower fell right before I had left for school. It was the last thing I saw of my house before starting the day; it was pretty intense. I also remember watching the people jumping out of the building. I couldn't imagine what that must have been like...

Answer 5

1. Yes. A lady I worked with was an employee with Deutch Bank, whose building was heavily damaged when the Trade Center collapsed.

2. Confused, as the first reports were of a small plane having crashed into the trade center. Nobody knew at first the tower had been hit by a large 2 engine jet. I worked in downtown Houston and was driving to work at the time, I was a little afraid of what I was driving into. It was a very surreal feeling.

3. I think for a brief period of time they inspired a genuine feeling of Nationalism. It didn't last.

4. I thought about my wife and the rest of my family scattered through out the country. They were beginning to be en-route to my twin brother's wedding the following weekend in central Texas. The first person I called was my wife, she is a school teacher and I left a voicemail for her. I called and talked to my father for the majority of the hour it took me to get to work that day, especially after the North Tower collapsed.

5. 9/11 made me realize the depth of hatred there is for this country. Grounded in jealousy and ignorance, there is no solution other than to give equality of opportunity to everyone throughout the world.

6. The most vivid memory of that day was the way downtown Houston emptied out just after about noon. Normally, back then, a few hundred thousand people work there, after about 2pm it was like a Sunday Morning. It was very quiet, very empty. Again, it was the most surreal experience I've ever had in my life. Returning to work the next day was similarly difficult, because there were so many uncertanties.

I hope this helps you with your paper. Let me know if you would like anymore information.

Answer 6

1.No I did not know anyone directly affected or died.
2.That day I was sad, I knew we had done this to ourselves and the war machine had accomplished their first goal.
3.They didnt change my perceptions about this country.I have always thought the way I do.Other people in this country are now led by fear.They are willing to give up personal freedoms to be "safe" and that is a dangerous road to go down.
4.I thought about my dad.Sometimes he works close to New York.I just wanted to make sure he was okay.
5.The events of 9-11 more than anything have led me to never trust our government.To always get the other side of a story.To never have blind faith again.To know that just because America says it is a terrorist,doesnt make it true.
6.My most vivid memory of that day is sitting on my bed and watching the news coverage and the cleaning lady comes in and says what happened, when shes told she just shrugs her shoulders and goes back to cleaning.

Answer 7

1.yes
2.confused
3 I think it will take a few years more for Americans to understand the whole episode

5I think about America now from another angle.

2 I immediately felt that it had been done by the American Government
3 Americans were made to believe a pack of lies as written in the 9/11 Commission report
4 I thought about President Bush, and how callous he was to murder 3000 of his own citizens
5 I have become more suspicious of anything the government says
6 The faked video on the TV news of a plane disappearing into a tower.

Answer 9

1. Everyone at home and work was effected.
2. Emotional.
3. How could this have happened and we want answers?
4. I just sat and stared at the TV. Couldn't bring myself to talk to anyone.
5. I follow up on domestic and world events more then i use to.
6. Just seeing those twin towers burning, it was all just so unusual.

Answer 10

I had a friend in 1 Financial center. Luckily she made it out alive. Had a professor on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon.

Shock, disbelief, and p*ssed off

People have become patriotic

My mother. I lived in DC and could not get a line out. Had no way of letting her know I was okay.

I no longer live in fear. If something is going to happen, it's going to happen. Enjoy life--it is too short not to.

Walking out of class and learning that a plane had just gone into the Pentagon and that the city was under attack.
