9/11

1) What are your memories of 9/11? Do you have any? Are there images in your mind of the tragedy? Where do these images come from? 

I don't remember too much. The images I have are all from the internet, they have a lot of smoke a rubble and dead people and what not in them. I remember once confusing a 7/11 Gas Station with 9/11, but that doesn't cause a lot of memories and/or tragedy.

2) What do you know about the causes and consequences of 9/11?

I know that 3,000 people died, somewhere I heard 17 of them were Muslim. I know that al Queda was behind the attack, and the two planes hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The third plane was saved by brave men and women who said "Let's Roll" as they recaptured the plane, which then crashed into the ground. I know one of the consequences was the infamous Gate Rape, or "Bodily Inspection," now enforced by the TSA. The shoe bomber and underwear bomber also led to reinforced air port security, and more racial profiling. Al Queda has described themselves as wanting Global Jihad, so I think the attack was an example of the Muslim concept of Jihad.
