ReplyDeletein my opinion i think that there could be a future attack.I think there could be a future attack because there a lot of people who want to harm the united states.
Jesse Rodriguez Period:8
ReplyDeleteI think that terrorist attacks can be prevented by making sure that everyone in the planes get checked extra carefully. This will take longer but at least you'll be safe to where ever your going. There is a saying that says "its better to get to your destination than to never get there at all".
i think this can happen again at any time, this was something that couild not be forgotten and even though it was bad ithink it will be remembered in a good way and bad as well.
ReplyDeleteGloria A.Period-2 I don't think there would any future attacks. Because the United States has changed a lot. The airports are more secured and strict about harmful items and liquids etc. Hopefully there would never be an attack like this again in the USA.

Shantell R. Period 8
ReplyDeleteThe event of 9/11 shaped my idea of america as before the goverment had to much trust towards the security. And now that the event of 9/11 happen theres more security than before.i think americas role is to prevent attacks so that it wont happen again. Yes , i do fear future attacks. i think the attacks can be prevented because it all depends on the goverment to be on alert and stay tune to wass going on behind calls and security should be more tightin up ( just like evan m from pd 2 said)
Tony B. Period 2
ReplyDeleteThe way 9 11 shaped America today is that citizens are more cautious now then before. America's roll today is to shape up the world to be loving for one another. I do fear that there will be future attacks but I do believe that America will be ready. They can be prevented we just need to enlightened them what there doing to themselves. Yes it is there is so much crime in the world that it's started to create more terrorists.
Isaac b. period 8
ReplyDeleteI think future attacks will be prevented because systems have been updated new technology including the air ports and I also think we will be better prepared than we were next time and we will know what to do this time also I hope a future attack doesn’t happen because that would be a disaster

Christopher P. Period 2
ReplyDeleteI feel that as long as I could remember, terrorism has always existed. All my life I've always seen on t.v stuff about war or terrorism so its not really a surprise to see such a thing on television.
I think if something happens like this again they will be more prepared for this type of situation

cyril u.2

Calvin S. Period 8
ReplyDeleteWe Dont Know If There Will Be Another Terrorist Attack Maybe Terrorist Will Get More Smarter Or Better People Than We Have. We Dont Know. But I think there wont be no more terrorist attack because after what happen in 9/11 U.S Got More Prepared and We Got More New Technologies To Prevent Terrorist Attack.

Lesley A. period 5
ReplyDeletei myself dont fear future attacks because secerty at airports have changed alot since that day.
Enrique S. 8th period
ReplyDeletei think america should be ashamed of itself,especially with goerge bush he caused way to many problems to our nation,terrorism isnt a reality of our generation, terrorism was only done by mentally sick people, not their whole race and country should be judged by 1 mistake that others made,i am not afraid of future attacks of terrorists but i am afraid of attacks done by mother nature itself, 9/11 touched my heart badly when i heard about it, it was really wrong for terrorists to do that over a ridiculouse argument they should have handled it like men and talked it out, all those people and children didnt deserve 2 die
joseph schroeder period 8
ReplyDeletei agree with terell and Pedro on their comments that if it happenes again they really should be ready and/or be prepared on it. so next time really be prepared.
i mean just pedro
ReplyDeleteCourtney B. period 2
ReplyDeleteThe event of 9/11 shaped my idea of America by not being that careful. I think that there was possibly too much trust going on in the airports and not checking everyone that carefully. I do fear of future attacks because I believe that the Terrorist are getting smarter and coming up with a sneaker attack. Future attacks can be prevented. All we would need is a better security system in our airports and be prepared. Terrorist attacks is and isnt reality of this generation. We never really know when the next attack is going to be.
destiny period 2
ReplyDeletei think its just completely sad what happen but honestly i dont believe that its over. i have a feeling that some type of attack will happen sometime years later again. but i think we can pervent it from happening becausee the first time it happen we had no idea it was comingg.
i think that its sad because lots of people lost there lives and in futre i think people well be prepared
ReplyDeletealex t. period 8

ReplyDeletePeriod 8 Hai Pham
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion i don't think there will be any future attacks. The 9/11 event has taught us very well; we are now much stronger. America has changed tremendously because of the event. I do not fear another attack because that will never happen again. We Americans has gain enough knowledge to know what will occur and what not.
I think it made U.S. weaker because, we spent trillions of dollars on wars and security that did a little, if anything, to make us safer and was all borrowed. -NI Period 5
ReplyDeleteIt made U.S weaker because all the people who lost there loved ones and ones who were related so its very sad that the 9/11 happened because thats a very sad part of the 9/11 that happened to was super sad and now is history 2us.
ReplyDelete-MH Period 5-
I think that people who work in big buildings such as the twin towers it should be a priority to take extra procautions and be ready because things like this can happen out of nowhere just like this did.

ReplyDelete9/11 was a sad day for all of us, those people didn't deserve to die. Who knows in the future this might happen again.
Magaly C. Period 5
ReplyDeleteI think this can happen in the future if we're not secured but we can always prevent that by having good security at the airports and all that.
Daniel M. Period 5
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I think that there is going to be a future attack and that its going to be worst than the twin towers.
Syed A. 8th period
ReplyDeleteI think that America is not safe as it used to be.yes we all should fear future attacks because they can happen at any time Chicago can be attacked next maybe there next target is us.yes I do think the future attacks can be prevented by having hire security when people bored planes. yes i do think terrorism is reality because it can happen at any time even when your not expecting it.
Carlos S. Period:5
ReplyDeleteI think that the 9/11 attack made America stronger. I do fear future attacks because anything could happen now after 9/11. I also think we can prevent this by having better security.
Elitania G. Period 5
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I think that the 9/11 attack made us weaker & also stronger. In one way it made us poor and weak and on the other hand it made us strong because now we can always be prepare for any other attack. We can prevent attacks by having better security like others had said & its true anything can happend now and i agree with some of the people above i do fear future attacks.

Jennifer T. Period 5
ReplyDeleteI think that 9'11 could happen anytime. I don't remember it happpening when I was little but I've seen video's and I think it was a tragety. I think Honoring this event is something generous for those whom lost someone that day.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinionon the u.s having another attack might happen in the near future I say this because the u.s has been under attack once (9/11) what makes you think that it wont happen again?.
Jason P. Period 5
ReplyDeleteI think that there will not be any future attacks to our country that will not be prevented because we take every little thing a bit more serious.
Rafael S. Period 4
ReplyDeleteI think that this was a very wrong and cruel thing to do to America and that it did break us down a little. But I also think that the attacks can be prevented by puting the security on top. And yes I do fear future attacks because I dont want to experience another attack.
period 2 : laura cabrales
ReplyDeletei think that there can be future attacks in The United States because many people have said it. And some people didnt like what some people from United Sates did to them.
the 9/11 terror attack made USA STRONGER.
ReplyDeleteTHEY SPENT TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS JUST TO PROTECT AMERICA FROM FUTURE ATTACKS , AND THAT MAKE CITIZENS IN THE US ARE FEELING SAFE AND SECURE....
David N. Period 8
ReplyDeleteI think 9/11 did make the U.S. stronger and more strict because they check you real good in the airports and stuff like that.
For the question if i am afraid of future attacks .. i say no not really . The reason I say no is because i believe that once America feels it is being treaded on, we will unite as one and fight against whom ever is attacking.
ReplyDelete(Which by the way won't happen in a million years :> )
I do and don't fear because now in days we have more of knowing something can happen any second. Also we became more aware of things then back then.Yes terrorism is a realty in our generation.For Ex. 9/11.No no one knew that was coming

Jose Bautista Period 5
ReplyDeleteTo be honest i am scared of a future attack..
Lucci Z Period 8
ReplyDeleteI think 9/11 was a very scary time for our nation, but I do not fear another attack very much because we have very high security now. I think it was a major wake up call to America, that we are not in control of everything. I think that future attacks can be prevented by leaving the war in the middle east. I personally think fighting with countries that have, or could have, nuclear weapons is not a very smart idea if we are trying to prevent terrorism.
I Think That 9/11 was a tragic event that happen.I Dont think another attack is gonna happen Because we have high security right now and it is suppose to help stop something like what happen on 9/11.
