9/11 and its aftermath

What happened on 9/11 was something terrible that, when it happened, was unimaginable to the American people. 19 members the all-Qaeda group hijacked 4 planes in a coordinated attack. Flights 11 and 175 struck the ETC towers in New York city. Flights 77 and 93 were aimed for the Pentagon in Washington DC. Flight 77 did strike the Pentagon, but flight 93 was set off course by defiant passenger s and hit a field in Pennsylvania. These attacks were funded and organized by Osama bin Laden and his networks. 2977 prophesied in the attacks. In the immediate few tweaks after the attacks, Americans were living in complete fear. That fear didn't weaken us though. It united us under one common enemy. The United States handled the situation in the best way they could have. I don't agree with everything that they do to protect our country but some people don't worry about the foreign affairs of our country because it doesn't matter as long as they feel safe. They feel as though as long as they feel safe the government's choices are unimportant. After their safety was taken away from them, it must have been hard for them to decide who to trust. 10 years after 9/11 we are much safer than we were in the past. We have better technology to protect us and are more knowledgeable about the dangers out there. I don't think the US overreacted to to 9/11 whatsoever. The country was in grave danger and we needed as much protection that we could get.
