Terrorists from the Middle East set foot in the American ground, surprising them with a bang on February 26, 1993.
The bombing took place at the garage beneath the World Trade Center Tower I. A massive eruption nearly collapsed the 1,368th ft high building, one of the tallest buildings in the world. The thunderous explosion rocked lower Manhattan.
The bombing took place at the garage beneath the World Trade Center Tower I. A massive eruption nearly collapsed the 1,368th ft high building, one of the tallest buildings in the world. The thunderous explosion rocked lower Manhattan.
Despite the size of the blast, it left a crater 22ft wide and five stories deep killing six people and left 1,000 people injured. The tower was repaired, cleaned and reopened less than a month which represents that Americans are good paradigms of hard work and hope.
Terrorism has always been a problem throughout the world. It has been shameful that Muslims were always to blame for this tragic happening. This results to stereotyping such as seeing another person’s perspective that all Muslims are terrorists, and degrading that can affect one Muslim’s self esteem.
The effects of Terrorism that occurred that day was the epidemic stress and other stress-related health problems that greatly affect the lifestyle of the Americans. Those who are most likely to have related anxiety and panic disorders are the people who were directly involved in the tragedy. This includes the people who were injured and exposed to the tragedy, to the people who watched how it happened from a nearby point, and to the people who lost a loved one.
Terrorism is rude, cruel and doesn’t benefit anyone. Killing people and taking away the lives of the innocent is a folly. Terrorism doesn’t only create panic but it also weakens the confidence of the government and the political leadership of the target country.
Why can’t the world have peace? Why can’t the people world just get along and stop fighting? Do they feel better if they kill people? I wonder how they cope up and sleep every night after taking away lives? Have you ever wondered why? Have you ever wondered how? Maybe it’s because of money and power. If it is, the world is now blind indeed. Or maybe because of love which we can compare to the saying “Love is blind” but how can someone talk about love with objects that can kill?
The world today has faced many trials and problems in the past and despite of all the tragedies that happened, we are still here, love and hope is indeed omnipresent and whatever happens, we must keep in mind that Love is and should be the movement.
