Twin Towers before 9/11

11 September 2001 was a turning point in history. The consequences of the attack still play a big part in our lives. Think about the wars in de Middle-East or fear for terrorist attacks.

 

Breaking news

- At 8:45 the first plane flew into one of the Twin Towers.

At that point a lot of people thought it was an accident. 

-18 minutes later a second airplane hits the tower and people realise it is an attack.  

-Following these events a third airplane flies into the Pentagon and a fourth airplane crashes in a field in Pennsylvania.

Starting a war

After the attack, the US government accuses the terrorist group al-Qaeda, whose leader is Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden is hiding in Afghanistan, where al-Qaeda is in power. About a month after the attack, the United States start a war against Afghanistan.

Who is this?

George W. Bush --- Osama Bin Laden

Multiple wars

After 3 years, the war is still in full swing and bin Laden has still not been found. According to the US, Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and ties to al-Qaeda, which is why the US also declares war on Iraq. In retrospect it appears that there was never any evidence for this. These wars create a lot of instability in the Middle East. This is how new rebel groups arise in countries.

What could be another reason for America to attack Iraq?

The whole world has changed since 2001. In the Netherlands there is a fear of terror. Some Dutch people are increasingly critical of Islam and political parties are emerging that respond to those fears and insecurities. More attacks from al-Qaeda are coming. In 2004, four passenger trains were blown up in Madrid and a year later there were several attacks on London's public transport.

Why are we not allowed to bring fluids on the airplane?

Consequences Nederland

- Sinds 2005 moet je vanaf veertien jaar altijd je identificatiekaart kunnen laten zien.

- Er is een bewaarplicht voor bel- en internetgegevens. 

- Ook op het vliegveld zijn er nieuwe regels. Controles en regels zijn strenger zoals de vloeistofregels. 

9/11 Fake?

- A theory that they were actually shot with rockets and explosives were planted.

- A second theory is that the American government knew this for a long time but did nothing to prevent the attacks so that the president would anyway receive support to invade Afghanistan.
