The Effects of September 11
The Effects of September 11, 2001 on the United States of America September 11, 2001 was a typical Tuesday morning for most of the United States. People were about their everyday lives. Workplaces were carrying on typical business, classrooms were filled with students. No one was aware that within the next twenty-four hours their lives would be changed forever. Or would it? Everyone knows the story. At 8:46 in the morning, American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
