Economic, Political And Social Effects Of The Fall Of The Twin Torres

ECONOMIC, POLITICAL AND SOCIAL EFFECTS OF THE FALL OF THE TWIN TORRES

Introduction

In this monographic work, the case of the fall of the Twin Towers (World Trade Center Uno and World Trade Center Dos) will be analyzed in depth, in order to understand what were the real causes of this event, and thus be able to reach a specific conclusion.

The question raised in my monograph? To answer this question, it has been decided to investigate what these effects have been. As for political consequences, the United States and much of Latin America were affected, as they depended on their income. In economic consequences it can be said that thanks to the attack, a large amount of money had to be invested in the collection of debris and reconstruction of both towers (WTC1 and WTC2), and also the large sum of money that began to invest in terms ofmilitia. In social fields, social and humanitarian distortion can be appointed that it caused, so that the United States is a "safer" country. The amount of dead people is almost incalculable, this affected the balance of society, because many families were left without parents, mothers, children;That causes the country to sink into a perpetual reminder of events.

Thanks to all the information that will be investigated, the most important thing can be collected for the understanding of the reasons that the Qaeda terrorist group had to carry out this disastrous attack against the United States of America. Theories that refute the events published by the US government will also be refuted, making this case even strange than what it is already, since they have not yet been achieved by one hundred percent all the irregularities that exist in this case in this case.

Chapter I: Background

Original construction

In the year of 1943 the initiative was taken to build the first World Trade Center (World Trade Center) in the city of New York. The construction of the same was granted to the then governor of New York Thomas Edmund Dewey. The plans had to be set aside, since New York’s economy gave preference to Manhattan, thus leaving Lower Manhattan (Bajo Manhattan).

It was not until the year of 1966 where it was decided to grant the plans to the Port Authority (Port Authority) to start with the construction.

Structural composition.

The objective of creating more open buildings was established, since, instead of implementing columns around the entire building, the foundations and bases of the building would be concentrated in a central nucleus, thus making the building greater stability;and thus avoid, that because of a natural disaster or other accident, the building is affected in great magnitude.

The main attraction of the WTC1 and WTC2 towers was their height;To make this work, those in charge of the plans and the construction of the buildings, inserted a total of 236 steel columns into the perimeter of them, using dry modules. The same that concentrated on the central nucleus, the latter consisted of 47 metal columns, which strengthened and reinforced the foundations of both buildings. As important addition, absolutely all metal columns (both in the nucleus and in the perimeter), were reinforced with anti -fire foam, leaving a light but resistant finish.

• WTC 1 (World Trade Center One) – WTC 2 (World Trade Center Two)

In 1980, the construction of the World Trade Center Seven culminated, now the World Trade Center would have a total of 7 buildings, but only 2 of them were the most notable. In 1972, the World Trade Center One (North Tower) became the largest building in the world, surpassing Empire State, with a total of 110 floors and 417 meters high, which adding the telecommunications antenna added in 1978measure 527 meters.

In 1973 the World Trade Center Two (Torre Sur) became the 2nd highest building in the world with 415 meters high. But this title was momentary because in the year of 1973 The Willis Tower was built in Chicago, obtaining a total of 440 meters high. But no building never managed to exceed the amount of 110 floors so far.

History and events

It is said that about 50 thousand people worked daily in both towers, their recognition, fame and extension made them serve more than 100,000 consumers and visitors.

In 1998 the Port Authority decided to privatize the World Trade Center, making a tender, which would later be granted to Silverstein Properties in July 2001, a few months before the terrorist attack happens

• Fire of February 13, 1975.

An accident was detected exactly on the 11th floor of the WCT 1 (north tower), said fire was propagated to the 9th floor, but for the fate of consumers and workers the fire was extinguished in just a couple of hours.

• Explosives detonation of January 26, 1993.

At 12 noon with 17 minutes, a truck full of mortal explosives, owned by Ramzi Yousef, which exploded leaving 3 sub -levels with the underground parking lot was parked. Leaving a total of 6 people killed and almost 50 thousand consumers and workers were affected by the lack of existing air in the rooms, they were forced to descend little lighting stairs, where there were also injured, to be able to be safe. Many people lasted more than 2 hours to be out of risk.

Those responsible for the attack (Ramzi Yousef and Eyad), after fleeing to Pakistan, were arrested and transferred to the United States, and then declared guilty by the Court, 4 other people were found. According to the press, a judge of the Supreme Court said that the objective of the attackers was to overturn the main tower with that of winged, in order to end both. After such strong events, the Port Authority decided to improve its establishment in terms of safety such as: Implementation of lighting on emergency stairs, luminescent indications, improved fire alarms, etc.

• Loot on January 14, 1998.

Again the 11th floor suffered an event, Ralph Guarino;Member of the Mafia, managed to make fun of the building’s security, stealing around 2 million dollars. The money was not recovered and much less stopped those responsible, thus momentarily affecting the economy of the prestigious towers. But this did not prevent both buildings from continuing their normal labor process, because for them a robbery meant more work to do, to recover what was lost.

Chapter II: September 11, 2001 attack

On September 11, 2001, it was a catastrophic moment for The World Trade Center, as a total of four terrorist attacks against it and the Pentagon were demonstrated, committed by 19 members of the jihadist network Al Qaeda, kidnapping and stealing airplanes of commercial purposeswith the aim of impacting the buildings complex. This event cost the lives of at least 3,000 people, the total collapse of the buildings complex (including WTC1 and WTC2) and terrible destruction to the Pentagon building, headquarters of the DDEU (Department of Defense of the United States). This event brought serious sequelae for the United States and Afghanistan, since followed by this catastrophe, it would give way to the Afghanistan war.

Causes of September 11, 2001 attack

Ideological causes

Without a doubt there are many situations that would lead to this terrorist group to commit this disastrous attack, because it should be emphasized that the United States and Afghanistan (where the terrorist group belonged), did not share the same ideology, because the American power supported ideologycapitalist, implementing these norms that this ideology demanded;On the other hand Afghanistan was totally communist. As expected, conflicts between these countries would be presented someday. Osama Ben Laden, founder of the Qaeda terrorist group, said in several interviews that he would not let the US ideology invade his country, therefore to avoid this he tried to occupy the United States in matters of protection, thus delaying its expansion throughout theworld. He also referred to the United States as a "tiger difficult to overcome", and that for that reason will be responsible for providing attacks against the country, with the aim of ending the world force that has.

Religious causes

Islamic religion has as a legacy to try to eliminate other religions, which is why its foundation is the attack towards the "infidels" (who do not follow this religion). Ben Laden tries to specify his motives, based is what his religion exposes, it should be emphasized that it would only be an additional reason that the Qaeda terrorist group had to commit the attack against The World Trade Center. Several followers of Islam were against Ben Laden’s statements, because for his religion he was giving his religion a violent and insensitive image.

Social causes

Another cause that led to this terrorist group to carry out the 9/11 attack would be the humiliation and discrimination that Muslims received from the United States, because as is evident the great world power has a high racism rate both in its populationas in your government. Ben Laden, weeks after the attack could declare that he felt satisfied with what had caused him to the United States, because he would take such an event as revenge, he also came to express that the movements that the United States would make against them would not mean anything winged of whatthey had done.

Development of attacks

The first plane, belonging to the “American Airlines” airline company, at 8 hours and 46 minutes AM, crashed into the North Tower (WTC1), instantly destroying around 5 floors from the point where it crashed.

As an act followed, the second plane, belonging to “United Airlines”, at 9 hours and 2 minutes AM, the South Tower (WTC2) is on the onslaught, thus causing a significant explosion, leaving it in a catastrophic state, collapsing next to the towerNorth (WTC1) approximately 2 hours later

The third plane, also by American Airlines, crashed with the west facade of the Pentagon, exactly at 9 am with 37 minutes, destroying that side of the pentagon, generating fires and landslides that had to spend several days to finish with them.

The last plane, luckily it crashed in open terrain without leaving any damage, as to buildings;However, passengers aboard the airplanes died for this impact. But it should be stressed that this plane did have a goal, and it was the United States Capitol, the attack plan was interrupted by a conflict where passengers and the terrorist group participated, losing control of the plane’s command.

Directly, these attacks were classified as "catastrophic terrorist attacks" for having used commercial airplanes, with innocent people inside, causing discontent and some fear from everyone, especially by western countries that felt even more threatened.

The process begins with a disastrous impact, by a plane to one of the towers, lighting on the side of the building in seconds, minutes later, another plane is impacted with the other tower. Firefighters, police and rescuers tried to evacuate the building completely, but with the second impact, it was impossible. As a result of the force of the shock, the internal facilities (stairs, elevators, emergency exits, corridors) close to the attacked point, collapsed, thus preventing the rescue of the people who were still alive inside the tower. About thirty to forty -five minutes later, the first tower falls, impregnating smoke, dust and ashes completely the World Trade Center, minutes later, the next one falls, invading debris buildings near the towers.

Possible events (theories not yet confirmed)

Since private or private individuals began to do their own investigations about the event, there have been a lot of theories that could justify certain things that the US government could not, or perhaps hid it.

Were we witnesses an unprecedented event three times [the two twin towers of the World Trade Center, of 110 floors each, and building 7 of the same complex, of 47 floors, which also fell that day, although it was not reached byno plane] on September 11, 2001? (Steven Jones, 2016, p. 26)

• Theory: "The United States needs help".

One of the theories that most attracts attention is that it is mentioned that the United States was the one who planned everything, since thanks to this event, it received both economic and protection support by countries and: United Kingdom, France and Germany. To support this theory, some testimonies of people who had witnessed the attack from the inside and outside came to light. These people could swear that seconds after the onslaught of the airplanes, they heard a series of explosives from the bases of the towers, and what is thought is that these explosives helped the total collapse of them, because the experts that experts that experts thatThey studied these falls could verify that both towers could not reach the necessary temperature to collapse symmetrically, without causing any damage to localities near them.

• Theory: "The attack had already been warned".

Also, the testimony of an FBI translator was published after being fired, which was hired to decipher messages received by the office, where she assures that these messages received in April of the same year that the attacks on the complex of the buildings theWorld Trade Center.

• Theory: Termita-TH3

Now, from my point of view, such a detailed infrastructure, with protection and first materials, would not collapse because of the clash of an plane, but luckily a physics teacher, studying the debris of the attack, found thermita-TH3,A chemist that easily undoes any type of metal, and was precisely located in the metal beams that formed the nucleus of the towers.

Another of the "assumptions" controlled subsidence is the fall of building 7, which collapsed because of the fall of WTC1 and WTC2;But in my opinion, there were no damage so strong as to have caused it, apart from that they were not at a considerable distance to suffer that collapse.

• Theory: "The hole in the Pentagon facade"

Adding to the list of inconsistencies of the attack, the damage caused on the west facade of the Pentagon, did not agree with the measures you had the plane that impacted it, since there was a hole of only 3 meters of radius, and the experts mention that there should beA larger hole (taking into account the proportions of the plane), or at least 2 holes, where the 2 plane engines would enter.

The information that I express here are theories that reveal the people who were present on the day of the event, but the United States government has not given enough statements about it;However, when trying to deny some of these theories, you just present more inconsistencies that lead the world population to doubt the causes that "Publish" of US government has decided.

Chapter III: Consequences of the attacks

Policies

As for politics, it can be said that this event left a great government disorder, due to all the work that was invested in trying to focus on carrying out the country despite the attacks received;However, this event managed to bring recognition from other countries to the United States, thus making its strength and recognition as a power forgive. It is said that the United States took advantage of the moment of despair, to grow politically. On the other hand there are the public protection measures that the United States put into practice, since it ruled laws that, for their convenience, were useful, such as: the restriction of the entrance to the country by Islamic migrants.

Economic

As for economic areas, the United States was very affected, since the income it received from these towers were totally lost. And if not enough, I had to invest in the repair and lifting of debris. The economy of Lower Manhattan, totally declined, this importantly affected the entire country, since this was one of the most important US economic districts, the third to be exact. Surrounded buildings of economic income had to be closed, since the magnitude of the attack did not allow people to exercise their work, and help to keep the US economy stable.

It should be stressed, that the United States was not the only economically affected because of this event, as countries that depended on their income, stopped exporting, importing, and therefore producing, so the product of allied countries, stayed in stock, and did not produce income. With this you can see how much power has the United States on a part of the world.

But here a very interesting situation is presented, because some European countries helped support the immensely large expenses of money, making the car that the United States carried.

Thanks to this, journalists and researchers presented ideas, conclusions and theories that questioned the true intention of the United States in the situation;Some of these ideas express that the United States needed to allocate economically and politically with European countries such as: England, Italy and France, then decides to build the attack to achieve its mission. Clearly, these theories have not yet denied, but it would be harmful to the American political and economic state if this would be true.

Social

Social consequences are probably a very important point in American action, there are also military aspects involve. As expected, the United States did not remain calm with the terrorist attack, so, at that time president George W. Bush, organized the war on terrorism, but apparently it was hand in hand, because it did not measure the consequences that it would bring. This war against terrorism passed the humanitarian limits, since the president ordered to invade potentially terrorist countries, without any prior confirmation, he also ordered to make an "interrogation" to any foreigner within the United States, and provided them with constant tortures with the end with the endto get all the truth to those interrogated.

Unfortunately Latin America went unnoticed by the attention of the United States, because it concentrated both in the invasion and war on terrorism, which did not take into account the alliance it had with part of Latin America.

• Internal security measures in the United States.

As security measure, the United States conducted interviews at 8.000 Arabs and Muslims, of which 5.000 were arrested, in order to “prevent terrorism. Implemented the "patriotic law" that made a more limited regime of rights and freedoms, so that a much safer place can be felt.

The more the accumulation strategy excludes, the more they press these waves of emigrants and the more violent. As soon as they manage to pass, they become discriminated groups in these countries, which are exploited and despised. However, they achieve something that is basic: they manage to survive. (Hinkelammert, 2003, p. 14)

Chapter IV: long -term repercussions

With the passage of time, it would be thought that the event ended, but every day a new consequence appears of what caused said attack. Although the towers have been rebuilt in part, it does not produce what they produced before. United States until today fights terrorist attacks, which seek to sink it at all costs. The accusations that it was a planned attack persists, since there are people who have managed to investigate hard to expose the whole truth of what happened, and thanks to the fact that technology has been advancing, it is easier and more truthfully to find “supposed”reasons why "the towers collapsed.

17 years of the attack, how does it continue to affect?

The attack has left a great mark, being part of world history, many still cannot overcome what happened, so much death and devastation that left, so much injustice that it was lived. There are several people who witnessed the attack, such as Rubiela Arias, who was part of the collection of debris for more than 6 months, today suffers from cancer to the skin, because it was exposed to chemicals, toxins and other harmful substances present presentIn the rubble. As she expresses Arias (2015) "we are dead in life", wanting to make known that although she survived in the situation, her body no longer gives for more, and does not feel that she is living her life as she should.

With this, it can be known that not only those who suffered the attack in real time were affected, but also those who were responsible for evacuating people, collecting debris, rebuilding, etc.

There are people who ensure that the image of the city almost completely covered with gases, smoke and ashes will never be erased from their minds, much less, all the lifeless bodies of people who unfortunately did not resist the attacks.

conclusion

It can be concluded that there are many reasons for this terrorist jihadist group Al Qaeda to destroy the United States, since it is important to emphasize the influence and power that has come to have almost all the countries of the world over time over time, imposing its ideology and pressing smaller countries in order to continue growing. But if it is clearly analyzed, the United States would do anything to continue increasing its world strength and power, that is why irregularities will not stop coming out to light.

As for my point of view, the incongruities presented by particular researchers and physicists, has many evidence in its favor, because no matter how powerful the United States is, there will always be a small margin of error that could collapse a whole established plan. This is why under my criteria, I can determine that the September 11 attack was an almost perfectly executed plan by the United States, some reasons will be exhibited below:

The United States was going through a light but important economic unbalance, which is why he devised a dangerous but effective strategy to recover recognition and economic contributions by other developed countries, because he did not plan to be left behind.

After a time from the attack, the speculation expressed above began to come to light, then the United States so as not to lose the credibility of people, unleashed a war against terrorism, which not only reduced this terrorism, but also implemeDiscriminatory towards any communist-islamic inhabitant who went through his way, without previous investigating his intentions. Unfortunately this "law" is still valid until today, abundant American states of racism.

There are several testimonies of people who survived the attack, which can ensure the existence of explosives in the foundations of the buildings, obviously these testimonies were rejected by the US government, since it could not lose for "simple words" of some inhabitants of some inhabitants.

In itself to conclude this work, it can be determined that the United States was effectively affected in the political, social and economic fields after the fall of the twin towers, fortunately for this world power, being able to recover its stability in all these areas wasrelatively easy, because its influence around the world could ensure its successful recovery. It is more worth mentioning that the United States. Finally I can add that the United States will not lower your guard until a real opponent overcomes them.
