"One day, Now Broken In Two"

When I think of 9/11 I feel anger at those who piloted air planes into the towers in New York City. I cannot begin to understand how anyone could feel they are doing a favor for their country by taking innocent American lives. One positive outcome from 9/11 is the fact that airports and airplanes are safer than ever from terroist threats. Prior to 9/11, Americans took airport safety for granted but 9/11 made us realize that was not the case. Even though it comes at a great inconvenience, our airports are now are much safer than pre 9/11.

I didn't know anyone who was harmed by the attack on the twin towers but I feel extreme sorrow for those who lost family members and freinds. I can't begin to imagine how I would feel if my dad or mom had been working in Mahnattan or traveling on any of the planes at the time of the attack. Some people are still very concerned that 9/11 is going to be repeated in some way, shape or form and I am sure that it will. Unfortunately, it is relevant that history has and always will repeat itself. I just hope that we as a country will be able to stop an event like this from occurring again in the United States.

  1. im right with will, i dont know anyone who has died in 9/11 but ifeel very bad for any who does and id feel horrible if i lost a dad or mom in it. ive heard a lot bout this repeating i think it will. history is always reapeating itself. i think thats the only reason we study history in school, to learn from others mistakes or accomplishments. i also like how will mentions that airplanes are safer now i think its good to always look at the positive side of things.

  2. I am also with will and zach. I didn't lose any relatives or friends, but feel bad. But economically, international stock market was like shocked. (Yeah, I lost little bit of money.) I was only elementary school, but I used to go to native speaker private school after my public school hour. Well, many of them had to call and see if their close people are fine. Few had to leave Korea and go there. I do agree this gave some lesson to us. Airport security got much better than before. But I think people who will plan to terror wont think like 2001. They will get another idea to do it. I just do hope this think wont happen again, but I have to risk my life exposing to school, outside. There is no safe place now. It can happen anytime, anywhere.
