I thought it was ridiculous how many warning signs were brought to the attention of security officials on 9/11 and failed to be properly dealt with. In the footage in the video of the hijackers going through security and setting off the metal detector, it shows that even though the warning light went off the hijackers were still let through security without much commotion at all. The footage was slowed down in this part of the video and I think that this may have been to show how much time security officials actually had to stop this chain of events from happening. Warning signs were blatantly ignored and if they had been taken seriously, it seems that the events of 9/11 may have been stopped or at least discovered before it was too late.

9/11 Relevance In My Life

9/11 is relevant to my life because of everything it caused afterwards. While myself and almost everyone in my grade were too young enough to really understand the effect of 9/11, we grew up during the war on terrorism and the constant talk of what Al-Qaeda might do next. We also witnessed a lot of the aftermath of 9/11 and the hunt/ killing of Osama.  I think that the younger grades (Freshmen) likely have a different opinion on 9/11 because they were too young to experience the tension after 9/11.
