9-11 Research: The Aftermath - 2 views

  •  
    On the day of the attack the television networks suspended normal programming and began wall-to-wall 24-hour "coverage" that would last a week, filling out the script of Osama bin Laden as mastermind of the attack with lots of background stories about Islamic terror. The networks' coverage of Ground Zero was framed almost exclusively as a human interest story of the tragedy of lost life and the rescue operation that soldiered on with "hope against hope." Questions about the plausibility of the official explanation of the collapses and about what officials were doing with the evidence of this vast crime went unasked. Paraphrase

9/11 Effects In The USA - 2 views

  • On September 11, 2001, three airplanes were hijacked by terrorists to attack the two World Trade Centers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, DC.  The death toll was about 3,000 people.  This series of events is the single largest concerted attack on US soil, right along with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.  The 9/11 events are made all the more visible through the coverage of modern media, such as live television broadcast of the collapse of the towers.  As such, the impact on the country are deep and wide.
