Compare And Contrast Pearl Harbor And 9/11

Joe B. has seen and been in crises and wars. “But 9/11 is a day that no American will forget,” said Joe. September 11, 2001 has affected Joe’s life, but also gave him a new perspective in life. At the time when the first plane had crashed into the North Tower of the WTC he was in Maine. Joe had been working for a company called General Electric (GE) training new employees how to inspect weaponry on fighter jets.

Pearl Harbor, a day that is still remembered but not like any other. December 7th, 1941 at 8 A.M is when the U.S was surprise attacked by the Japanese (Pearl Harbor). Pearl Harbor was a navy base in Honolulu, Hawaii and during this attack more than more than 2,400 americans had died and 1,000 were wounded (Pearl Harbor). The reason that Japan attacked was to destroy our navy vessels and our president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, then declared war on Japan. 9-11, the day we remember the most and try everyday to still come back from.

Pearl Harbor Versus September Eleventh On December 12th, 1941, a Japanese task force bombed Pearl Harbor, an American naval base stationed in Hawaii. On September 11th, 2001, the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked by Al Qaedian suicide planes. Both attacks greatly devastated America and created prejudice attitudes and actions towards a certain race. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the American government arrested as many Japanese-Americans as it was capable of.

December 7, 1941 is considered one of the most impactful days in United States’ history: the day Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Despite their size, Japan left an incredible amount of damage with their 5 submarines and 408 planes. President Roosevelt had been avoiding scuffling with Japan since their pact with Germany and Italy; war with Germany was sure to erupt soon enough. However, soon after the ambuscade, the United States’ declared war on Japan and launched their involvement in World War II. Japan’s leaders recognized the risks of invading one of America’s naval bases; yet they persisted.

The attack on September 11, 2001 is very similar to the attack of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. For example a lot of innocent people lost their lives, a lot of people united together as a family, destroyed a lot of americans icons, and lastly the president's announcements were very similar to one another. these two specific events had a huge impact on america and the whole nation. To begin with, Thousands of people were killed or wounded during 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. Also many sacrifices were made for example, firefighters risk their own lives to save citizens and children during 9/11 and Pearl Harbor.

Japan attacked the US at 8:00 a.m. on December 7, 1941 because of the embargo, fear of the US Navy expansion, and Japan wanting expansion made the Japanese people afraid of the US and caused them to react. Documents today state facts of why these are the reasons that mainly caused Japan to attack Hawaii. Pearl Harbor was a US Naval Base and was the closest and easiest way to get close to the the states. In the first day that Japan had attacked Pearl Harbor, more than 2,000 US soldiers and sailors had died and 1,000 were wounded. After the end of the first day President Franklin Roosevelt had talked to Congress and asked to declare war on Japan and 10 Naval Battleships had been sunk.

In the Gettysburg Address the purpose was to “dedicate” a cemetery. While in the Pearl Harbor speech the purpose was to declare war on Japan, which lead to war with Germany and Italy. However, the purpose for 9/11 was completely different from the other two, and the purpose was to let terrorist know they can’t destroy American freedom. On the other hand, not only did these speeches have different facts, different purposes, but they also had different deliveries. All three speeches have different deliveries.

In both events of Pearl Harbor and 9/11 had a damaging effect on our country. We were terrified and frightened for what could happen next. Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7, 1941 at the Hawaiian territory. 9/11 occurred on September 11, 2001 at New York City. The Pearl Harbor attack was caused from a feud we were having with Japan.

December 7th, 1941 United States soldiers died because of japan's attack Pearl Harbor. On December 7th, 1941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor a U.S. naval base in Hawaii. 361 planes struck airfields and naval bases in Hawaii (Background Essay). Japan was angry at America for getting in their way. The United States with Franklin D. Roosevelt as president were hoping for only the inevitable war against Germany.

In both attacks the U.S. was caught off guard leading to 2,500-3,000 deaths, the attacks also lasted about two hours. In the attack of Pearl Harbor the U.S. was warned as the movement of the japanese was headed right towards the U.S. In the attack of 9/11 america was not warned at all, everything was out of

Iquinette Candler Mr. Freeman COLL 300 Analysis of Rhetorical Situation Thesis Statement: In the fast-paced world of traveling airport security weaknesses has been exposed on more than one occasion; the rise in government funding should protect travelers against malicious acts, diminish prohibited items from passing through screening, instantly detect banned flyers, and simultaneously keep screening delays to a minimum. 1. What is the goal in this paper? The goal of my paper is to present how much money has been spent to increase airport security, and if possible, include the effective rate of each procedure. I want to show that the current measures are enough, although they may cause delays at airports.

In 9/11, our airports were closed down for several days fearing another airplane

After September 11, many existing security measures were changed and improved upon. For example, the Transportation Security Administration worked with the Federal Aviation Administration to fortify cockpit doors on all commercial aircrafts in order to protect the cockpit and its pilots from unauthorized entry and dangerous objects or weapons (“Transportation Security Timeline”). This helps avoid potential terrorist attacks because it prevents hijackers from entering the cockpit and taking over the plane. Another improvement made to airport security is the Aviation and Transportation Security Act. The act was made into law requiring all passengers to take part in screenings by federal officials, one hundred percent of checked baggage screenings, and the growth of the Federal Air Marshal Service (“Transportation Security Timeline”).

As a result of the attack, people were afraid to fly because they feared they would experience the same fate as those on board the previously hijacked airplanes. In an effort to increase the safety of air travel, Congress passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act. This act greatly increased guidelines on luggage and passenger checks and made the American people feel much safer about air travel. These changes were made in airport security after the attack on 9/11 in an effort to avoid another tragic incident

Because personally I feel safer every time I fly and I can see that all the members of the different flight crews are also being frisked. So I feel that by frisking the flight crews, in front of the passengers it makes them feel safer, not unsafe. Because why should flight crewmembers be able to board the flight without security check? Because aren’t there any chance that maybe one flight crewmember could be a terrorist in the disguise to?
