9/11

The film we viewed in class about 9/11 was crazy. The people who made the video did not purposely make a video about 9/11. Thats why the footage in the video was absolutely insane and almost hard to watch and believe it was true. They had a plan to make a video about the New York city fire department, and the firefighters. Who would have thought that this is what they would have been the footage they got. on 9/11/11 my dad and I actaully watched the video we watched in class at home. this time at the end of the video it interviewed some of the firefighters thatwere on the video ten years later. One of the firefighters actually died from cancer, which doctors are thinking was caused by the fumes from the towers falling. At the time the firefighters were told that there was no danger in the fumes and it was ok not to wear a mask. now looking back there was a study that showed that people who took in those fumes had a life expectancy of ten years less. It crazy how much those firefighters put on the line and after watching this film I ahve sp much respect for what they did that day

One article I read was about places outside new york and how they were affected by 9/11. Long story short every place in america was greatly affected by the tragedy of that day. Security everywhere has changed, and honestly it makes me feel safer. Its a good feeling knowing that when we go to the airport there isnt a lot to worry about. Airport security is one thing that should have been there more so now that it is its a good thing. Being about 7 at the time, things for me dont feel much different. I dont remember what going to the airport was like, or what things felt like before september 11th. All I can say is I am thankful for the people that risked their lives that day, and now America will do anything to prevent going through that again,
