ABSTRACT
On the morning of September 11, 2001, a series of events transpired that changed the world. As first one passenger airliner, and then another, and then a third crashed into significant landmarks of US prosperity and security, it became clear that the United States was the victim of the most deadly terrorist attack ever to have occurred. Further, the fact that this level of destruction could occur so easily and so successfully made it clear that life as we know it in a free democratic country was forever changed. The implications of the terrorist bombing on September 11 were vast, they were unparalleled and they were immediate.
