          I recently viewed a documentary called "September 11th, 2001: A Day That Changed The World | 9/11 Documentary" that reviewed the events leading up to and after the attacks of 9/11. The documentary starts by analyzing the details and records of the perpetrators. Going over the specific events of how each person who played a role in the attacks, it is amazing to think about how these terrorists managed to sneak into the U.S. and prepare for the attacks in a matter of weeks. These terrorists had been planning and acting simultaneously to use their time wisely in order to make sure that their plans and efforts would come to fruition; and as we all know, they did.
          After the attacks were successfully executed, and the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda took credit for the attacks, a manhunt was ordered on Osama Bin-Laden and a war was declared on Al-Qaeda. Although the long and controversial war eventually did lead to the death of Osama Bin-Laden, the aftermath left a strong taste of bitterness and tragedy, but also a sense of unity. The world recognized these attacks and paid their respects not only to the civilians who lost their lives but also the first responders and rescuers who risked or gave their lives for the safety of others'. These attacks allowed the U.S. to realize that they could not allow something of this manner ever occur again, and that rationalization still thrives today.
