9/11: From an Engineering Standpoint
The terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 was a tragic event; many people dies and many more were injured. A good number of fatalities occurred right when the hijacked planes crashed, but many more died once the building collapsed. The question is: exactly why did the Twin Towers fall?
Appalled by the severity of the attacks, I have done my own research on the incident. Source to source, whenever I read up on this event, I cannot keep from feeling sorry and depressed for all those who died. The September 11 attacks seem almost too bad to have even happened; I almost didn’t believe it. Whether it be all the accounts of survivors or the videos of those jumping to their deaths, I now realize that I should not take life for granted. Many innocent people couldn’t guarantee that they were to live that day – nor can I. Any day, I may fall victim to a tragedy without having any prospect of such. Sad as it is, many people cannot hold their life for very long; I am very lucky to be alive and healthy, thanks to God.
