Facts: It was attacked by a group of terrorists. A lot of people died and many were injured. The September 11 attack was of course attacked on the date September 11. It is never ok to attack millions of The September 11 attacks, often referred to as 9/11,[a] were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamist terrorist group Al-Qaeda[3][4][5] against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks resulted in 2,977 fatalities, over 25,000 injuries, and substantial long-term health consequences, in addition to at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage.[6][7] It is the single deadliest terrorist attack in human history and the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed, respectively.[8]

Four passenger airliners which had departed from airports in the northeastern United States bound for California were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists. Two of the planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan. Within an hour and 42 minutes, both 110-story towers collapsed. Debris and the resulting fires caused a partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the World Trade Center complex, including the 47-story 7 World Trade Center tower, as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon (the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense) in Arlington County, Virginia, which led to a partial collapse of the building's west side. The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was initially flown toward Washington, D.C., but crashed into a field in Stonycreek Township, Pennsylvania, after passengers thwarted the hijackers.

Suspicion quickly fell onto al-Qaeda. The United States responded by launching the War on Terror and invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban, which had failed to comply with U.S. demands to expel al-Qaeda from Afghanistan and extradite their leader Osama bin Laden. Many countries strengthened their anti-terrorism legislation and expanded the powers of law enforcement and intelligence agencies to prevent terrorist attacks. Although bin Laden initially denied any involvement, in 2004 he claimed responsibility for the attacks.[2] Al-Qaeda and bin Laden cited U.S. support of Israel, the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq as motives. After evading capture for almost a decade, bin Laden was located in Pakistan in 2011 and killed during a U.S. military raid.

The destruction of the World Trade Center and nearby infrastructure seriously harmed the economy of New York City and had a significant effect on global markets. The U.S. and Canadian civilian airspaces were closed until September 13, while Wall Street was closed until September 17. Many closings, evacuations, and cancellations followed, out of respect or fear of further attacks. Cleanup of the World Trade Center site was completed in May 2002, and the Pentagon was repaired within a year. The construction of One World Trade Center began in November 2006, and the building opened in November 2014.[9][10] Numerous memorials have been constructed, including the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City, the Pentagon Memorial in Arlington County, Virginia, and the Flight 93 National Memorial at the Pennsylvania crash site.

The lack of which of the following represents scarcity? orange juice because the trucks carrying it are on strike enough workers
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The lack of orange juice represents scarcity.

Explanation:

This is because scarcity is the lack of product, not the lack of demand. Since there is a limited supply of workers then it is less likely to be produced in large quantities, making it scarce because there is not enough of the product to meet the demand. Furthermore, the grapefruit juice cannot be considered scarce because although there is a low demand, the product's production is not threatened in any way, so there is enough of it to satisfy the demand.

Was Lenin a hero who made life better for Russians or was he a villain who made it worse? Give reasons for your answer.
arlik [135]

Answer:

no he wasnt

Sure he removes the Royalty and all, but he never manages to do better in the ruling. He was power crazy, he kill those who disagree with him and use people to maintain his power, and all his promise for prosperity never achieved in his lives. Heck, he actually loses his first election and calls it void. He was a tyrannical ruler that are only slightly better than the old royalty, and better than Stalin who came after him.

He is not exactly the best example of a hero is. He is more of an idealist, and not cut out as a ruler, and he should never have come into power. Maybe as revolutioner, he is good and all but the person who should come into power should have been someone else.
