Analysis of the 9/11 event

Analysis of the 9/11 event

Introduction

The 9/11 event was associated with the attack which was done by the Islamic extremist group which is believed to have hijacked the airliners and undertook an attack that cost many lives.  It happened in September year 2001 (Duvall, et al.). Two of the planes that were used by the attackers were flown to attack the tower of the World Trade Center in the city of New York. Mainly, the attack targeted The United States of America.  The Pentagon was hit by another plane while another plane crashed in the field in Pennsylvania. Indeed, the attack resulted in many deaths and extensive destruction in the United States. More than 3000 citizens were murdered during the attack (Duvall, et al.).

Moreover, police officers and firefighters who lost their lives as a result of the attack added up to 400. The attack happened in a very short instance making the States’ security futile. Different countries attributed the attack to different causes depending on the relationship that they had with the United States of America. Various conspiracy theories were also used to explain what happened in the 9/11 event (Duvall, et al.).  This research paper seeks to evaluate the impact of the 9/11 event, how various countries explained it and the conspiracy theories associated with its explanation.

Objectives

To analyze the possible causes of war, the impact of war on a country’s resources and how different groups interprets the whole attack based on war.

Scope

This research paper aims to make a critical analysis of the causes of war and likely solutions to war. However, the research does not include the evaluation of how the attack was planned nor the parties who harbored it.

Research methods used

This research used various methods to get data that was analyzed to get the results about the attack. Some of them include filling questionnaires, direct interviews, journals and articles describing the 9/11 event and through analyzing the impact caused by the attack (Cushion). The qualitative method of data collection was the main one used compared to the quantitative analysis because there was no much need for numerical figures except some such the death toll and the value of the property that was lost (Cushion). The weaknesses that the research method could cause in the research were taken lightly basing on the significance that it could pose on the research.

Findings and analysis

According to this research, most of the countries around the globe described the 9/11 differently. In this case, this research outlined only three countries that used to describe 9/11 incident in a different manner: China, India, and Brazil which had the little tense relationship with the US (Cushion). All these nations spokes on the audacity of the US and its activities post 9/11 event and its illegality mostly of the war that happened in Iraq.

The focus of the assailants in the Islamic countries was seen to be legitimately different from other countries. In the Pakistan, the assailants’ identity was omitted. However, in the US and those countries situated in the western part was seen that the attackers were speaking of the Islamic fundamentalists (Cushion). The Pakistan on the other side on the month of September 11 the year 2001, spoke that the American Trade Center and the other tactical locations were attacked by the unknown terrorists. While in the Turkey their identities were omitted and they were referred to be the Muslims.

China was seen to be the country that presented the 9/11 incident than the US. This country in most instances spokes the incident as the sign of weakening hegemony of Americans (Arie). This was not the case as spoken by the Americans. The Americans referred the 9/11 incident as the sign of the America being attacked and also assign that shows that Americans are coming together.

Most of these nations also use different words when referring to 9/11. These were seen to be understated words or indirectly used words, but they were important. For instance, the use of incident when referring to 9/11 rather than using an attack (Arie). These nations use these words thinking that it would not bring the difference. But the fact remains the same that when these small changes are brought together, the resultant will be the tone which can be well defined. For this case, when referring to those people who started the attacks of the 9/11, either referring them as “attackers” or “assailants” or even the “individuals.” (Cushion). All will bring differences in their meaning and different implication and produces a different picture in the minds of the individuals.

The relationship which existed between the China and the US was found not to be pleasing since the US dropped the bomb which blasted on the embassy of China 2 years after the 9/1 incident (Cushion). People had little understanding about the terrorist attack. The residents of that region had seen this as the actions that were performed by the military towards the U.S (Cushion). Here comes the picture that, what would be the reaction of the  US residents if it happens that the missile smash NK and read the outcomes of what has occurred during the time that the US dropped the bomb on the Chinese embassy.

In the later time, the residents realized that it was not the military action even though the Pentagon was smashed. For that matter, the residents saw this as the revenge. The killing by the US towards innocent individuals and now to their families were seen to be the Avengers (Cushion). After this, individuals came to know what the terrorism was and this was what was exactly advocated by the US.

The truth about the government is that it enclosed the attacks by the terrorist in China before the year 2008. This was because they had thought that it might have caused fear and revulsion to the ethnic groups (Duvall, et al.). The time the attackers distract again, the government of the US said that they should empathize terrorist and they were supposed to be killed. It was believed that when the terrorist kills someone you most hate, it was the democracy and on the other side when they kill the one you most love it was terrorism.

This research paper is looking at different Conspiracy theory about the 9/11 .there are many theories developed after the 9/11 terrorist attack occurred in the world trade center. Different people try to explain differently what might have happened to the world trade Centre. David Heller among others claims that the towers fell due to the controlled demolition planned by the government of the United States of America. They claimed that because of the gravity is absent in the controlled demolition, the collapse of the world trade to its footprint was a clear indication of the planned, controlled demolition by the government. They claimed that if the building were hit by the plane, the steel structure would have provided support for the Weight of the higher floors, squeezing the concrete falling to other sides rather that falling straight to the foot of the building. They also claimed that the jet fuel burns at a lower temperature than the one needed to melt the steel and collapse the building. This conspiracy theory explains clearly and can make anybody to question about the truth of what went on in 9/11.

Alex James on his conspiracy theory tries to explain what happened during 9/11 by using “the smoking gun” he claimed that the phrase pulls it might mean the industry jargon where buildings are destroyed by the explosives (Dunbar). According to the investors’ statement, he seems to be trying to claim that he with the firefighters destroyed the building and they were right there with firefighters watching the building to fall. The theory states that the building to fall must have taken Avery long period, and so WTC7 was prepared for a long period. The perspective given in this conspiracy theory cannot be understood by the 9/11 truth moment claimers (Dunbar). The pull it phrases does not only mean to destroy, but it has a lot of meanings which can be interpreted differently. In this case, the investor was advising the firefighters to pull away from the scene to avoid more death and casualties; this order was as a result of some of the firefighters being injured by the collapsing building.

Other conspiracy theories claim that the Pentagon were not hit by the plane flight 77, the belief that the government of the United States staged the damage through strategic missile or the bomb (Dunbar). Thierry missing states in his book that there was limited damage to the Pentagon to have resulted from the plane crash. The book claims that there was no trace of the plane crash, and the hole left at the Pentagon was not more than diameter of16 feet. There was airport from the CNN news reported Jamie that there was no evidence of the crashed plane at the Pentagon from his close inspection.

Various conspiracy theories overlooked at the government claimed terrorist attack. Some theories claim that there were high volumes of suspiciously put trading of airlines (Dunbar). The theorist claimed that this trading was as a result of the prior notice by the government to the traders. Another theory also claims that the FEMA team was in the world trade Centre before September 11 tie and this was an indication that the government was aware of what was going to happen, this was confusion though by the Kennedy (Dunbar).

In the real situation, there is concrete evidence to trace the 9/11 act to Osama bin Laden, he had planned many attacks to the United States of America, he finances many attacks (Dunbar). Conspiracy theories seem to divert the attention from the real situation, they tried to divert attention from the real problems, and they instead prefer reality delusions.

Conclusion

A catastrophe changes the whole country’s being. Everything seems to change in the attacked state ranging from media to other ways of life. The American culture, for example, changed from their normal pop one to a different culture which is far from it. Even the pop songs that were normally presented by many State’s televisions had to stop for a while following the attack. When a country is attacked, its economy deteriorates in a manner that makes it difficult to regain. The people of the affected country takes quite a long time trying to adapt to the new pressure of life.  Moreover, the state that is affected has difficulty in seeking for the revival of their economy after attack especially because there are always critics directed to their inability to secure itself and its people. The United States got criticism from some countries who felt in competition with it having pride that the attack was their opportunity to make progress. Once the State is attacked, there is always need to cooperate with one another both internally and externally to ensure that the state of economy and sociality is regained. On the other hand, the State need to scrutinize the vulnerability to its security issues because the attack normally comes at a time that is most unexpected.
