Reaction to 9/11 (and our video)

I hope everyone has found the video this week on the events of September 11, 2001, informative. I also hope that you agree that it is important that events such as this are remembered long after they occurred.

There are a couple of questions that I want you to comment on here:

  1. What are some of the ways in which life in the United States have changed since September 11, 2007?
  2. How will 9/11 be remembered by kids 50 years from now? Will it remain as important event as it is today? How should it be remembered?

Please comment on anything else (within this topic) that you feel is important to share.

This link will take you to the Wikipedia articles dealing with 9/11. Please feel free to use it, as well as other resources, to learn about the events of 9/11/01. Keep in mind that sources such as Wikipedia are largely formed by personal opinions of the authors. Be careful what you consider facts.

What are some of the ways in which life in the United States have changed since September 11, 2007?
It had change the world becuase now not alot of stuff can be took into an airport witch is good becuase now none of that can happen...

How will 9/11 be remembered by kids 50 years from now?Becuase they have something for that and becuase it was something to do that has changed the whole world and I think that is becuase of everything that did happend and the buildings that were took down becuase of that!


Will it remain as important event as it is today? How should it be remembered?
Yes..That they should do a slients thing for now one for the rest of the world becuase they did took down some of the important buildings in the world and yeah so thats what I think.
And I think the frist part of the video was a good thing that they did something like that becuase they show people what really happend durning that time and that alot of people were killed in that part.
Thats what I think!

I was really shocked too when i heard about 9/11 I remamber when my dad came home crying and he hugged us and i was just sitting there well i can`t really remember because i was 5. Also I just have seen the interveiw on 9/11 and i really liked the video too and i just am really glad that Osama Bin Laden.i am really sad because my mom`s friend was in the second building that got hit and ahe did survive because she just left the building and her and her friends walked all the way from Manhattan to Brooklyn to Staten Island and almost everyones feet were bleeding and New York being shut down for a couple of days and this 9/11 thing is really bad because now Iraq knows now how we react and they may do it again.

The video is really good and they put good detail into it and just the reaction on the peoples faces i can not ever have on my face and just all those people in those buildings and the people who had to breathe in all that smoke and just i cannot imagine me in that situation. That was just really sad. And i would just couldn`t belie3ve now that i am older i can just understand more and the video i can`t wait till tommorrow and i will try to watch all the movies on 9/11 and just that moment was just so terrifying.

It is sooooooooooooooo scary that you never know if it will happen again like RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!

I think that the video was ok because it can convinse people
to not go on airplanes anymore because that could happen to them.I agree with rainey that its good to show what happend. This has changed America a whole lot because we are more protective of what we do now.We have strict rules for people in the airport. Kids will probably remember this because its a big thing that happended to us. And we shouldn't foreget what happened but we also shouldn't get to carried away about what we do.This summer I went to Montana on a plane by myself and to watch the movie it makes me not to ever go on a plane again. Which for me is sad because I have always flown my whole life and watching that movie makes me never want to do that again.

I was shocked when I heard about 9/11 I think it will be remebered if we keep the patriot day going. The united states has changed since that day because now at an air port they have metal detecters and they scan your luggage; and we don't have the twin towers or the pentagon any more.

every now and then i think wow even though we have such tight sucurity that still managed to happen

What are some of the ways in which life in the United States have changed since sept.11,2007?
I think that it has changed alot ecspecilly in airports because they are very cautious now since thats happend,they dont want anything like that happening again.

How will 9/11 be rememberd by kids 50 years from now?
It will be remebered greatly and every one will take a moment of silence just to remember everyone that passed away(exept for the people who caused it).and over 3,000 people died so, everyone should be thankful that it wasent them,but still honor the harmless people who died from this horrible tragedy.
Will it remain as inportant as it is today? YES! it should be,and will be defintly.
how should it be rememberd? It sould be rememberd as a national tragedy that should effect the whole world,because it destroyed 2 very important buildings.And harmed the pentigon but still killed many people from all 4 planes.

EVERYONE BLOGGING SHOULD TAKE A MOMENT OF SILENCE............................................................................................................................................~CANDACE~

What were some of the ways the united States change since 9/11?
that it still effects people today and that it was a terrible event i never new that it was wrong that they did that i wonder why? there was 2 planes that hit the twin towers in stead of one i never new that a 1 plane went to hit the white house but landed in cali i think that it was very wrong that the hijackers had to KILL people to get the plane. i think that jay should not be happy that Osama bin laden not be caught flight 93 was a shock geting.




How will 9/11 remembered by kids 50 years from now?????????????????????????????????????????????
they will never know what will happen un less the paernts or teachers tell them .




will it remain to day yes it might last til 5 years from now we should have a momnent of silnce every year to rember that the twin towers got hit .

that is what i think i am going to bed $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

It's so sad that all those people on the airplane had died from the crash in New York and Washington DC.
The video showed me what it was like on 9/11 and all the damage that happend from the hyjacked planes.

I was in kindergarden when it happend.When my mom heard about it, she came to pick me and my brother and sister up from school.She wanted us to be home just in case something was headed our way.It was a sad time.

Everyone should think about what happend that day and the people who died.All the families who had a member die on 9/11 are still sad from it.Today it is important to remember those times. Also think about if your familly member was in that tragedy how would you feel?

You never know if it might happen again!
I hope nothing like that day ever happens to our country and our people again.

Ever since the Twin Towers crashed to the ground people were in shock!Why would someone do something like that?Well,that's an easy question,because they are stupid.I remember when they crashed and also was very shocked.altough I was only about 5 years old I still know exactly what happened on that horrable day.On the video we watched about 9/11,I think that when president Bush had to make a choice eather to give the order to shoot down the plane or to let it go,I would had to of shot down the plane.The risk of letting a few people die is less important than having a United States monument being destroyed.It would still have had to of been a hard choice to make killing many of american citasins!unfortunatly one had to be done.If you would like me to define scary I will be more than happy-BEING HIJACKED ON A PLANE POSSIBLY KILLED AND THRETNED TO BE KILLED!! wellthats what most people had to go through on flight 93.Now thats scary!My whole point is 9/11 is completly scary an unfair!

I think it is a tragedy to us and to those families of the people who died. I also think we should focus more on finding Osama Bin Laden more than his group Alquaida. If they catch him it may break up Alquaida and there might be less bombings.

I agree with Delani,after watching the movie about 9/11 that convinced me to never ever to get on a plane.One way that security has changed is its alot tighter,I mean you have to get to the airport like 2 hours earlier so you can go through security.I know Iraq hates us but why did they bomb us?What on earth did we do to them to deserve being bombed?Last,how long is the war going to last?I mean if the war is going to last for another 15 years why dont we just leave Iraq and only let good iraqi people in the U.S?

Anonymous said...

I agree with Delani,the movie about 9/11 would totally discourage people from riding a plain.I mean what happened during 9/11 could probably happen again.I have a few questoins though,like why did they do this what did we do to them?Also,why cant we just get out of Iraq and only let the good Iraq people come to America and let all the bad Iraqi people ones roast in the sun?Like Candace lets take a moment of silence for the men and women who died trying to save a whole lot of American lives..............................

well i thought that the movie was very understandable.i hate that so many people died. and the people on flight 99 were taking a risk to try to kill the hijackers.but the didn't. they forced them to hit where they were before hitting the capitol.why let enesent people die from terrorist.and the movie was great i understanded everything. and it was very scary!!!!!!!!!!1:(:(:(:(

The 9/11 crash requires people to accept extremely important events, and coincidences. To even think about hi-jacking a plane, I would have to be pretty brave, because not only would I be putting a lot of peoples lives in danger, but also mine. Incidents preceding the attack indicate many people had advance knowledge of the attack. I
think it was a good idea to watch this harsh incident because now we are aware what can and what probably will happen again. Knowing that this 9/11 crash was so bad, I cant imagine why anyone would ever want to hi-jack another plane, even before this event happened. The twin towers exploded into dust, and shattered steel everywere. I just dont understand what use it had to the arabians. All four of the flights were unusually empty. 125 people were killed in a building with 20,000 people (the pentagon) Due to the incident of 9/11 the rules on airplanes have been changed. Its really scary to board a plane knowing that something could go wrong or another disturbance like 9/11 could occur. I think that this horrible event was a tragic loss of all those lives. I believe that when the passengers boarded flight 93, flight 11, flight 175, and flight 77 they had a feeling that something was going to go wrong. Not a very strong feeling but nervousness and caution. I think it was a good idea to have a quiet moment to remember the terrible event that occured on 9/11/01.

I think that we should take a moment of silence for the people who risked and lost thier lives and all 3 towers that got hit on this unexpected event and I hope they find Osama and make him pay for what he did.

I found the movie quite interesting but Ido agree with Walker that still could happen even know we (the us) do have tight security that it still could happen, I also found the movie amusing Ialso agree with travis it was a tradgy but eather way the people on fligh 93 would have died.
I think the terrerist are STUPID to kill themselvesthe, video I enjoied,and hatedat the same time people were devastated.I'm positive nobody was happpy,Osama shouldent have a lot of money. America has changed a lot scince 9/11. for an example better scurity ,metal dectors ,and hand held metal detoctors. september 11th was not funny it was a tradgy, part 2 had a lot more action than part 1.

Things have changed since September 11th because now they have more rules for travling on planes.I think people should remeber what happened September 11th because it was devastating. What happened September 11th was very sad:(:(:(

Also I think on the 2nd part of the movies is that its a big desion if the Prestident was going to shot down every plane that flew over a certain place its was a very good one but hard and i think it was good becuase if it was one of the planes trying to hit a building then they would be shot down before it would happen.
and yes that was very shocking becuase why would people do that becuase all they are going to do it kill themselves and everyone else on the plane and that it is a sad thing and i think they should have something for it to be reamber in 50 years like a memorial and the teachers should teach about it..
