9/11

On September 11th 2001, America experienced something that is near impossible to describe and to do so would not show it justice. America faced the destruction of the Twin Towers, the noble citizens on Flight 93 and the disfigurement of the Pentagon cause by a hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 plane. The result of every attack that occurred was significant amount of murder.

Today saw the brave actions made by Barack Obama to kill Osama Bin Laden finally conclude. Osama Bin Laden was responsible for the death of nearly 3000 innocent people across the world and the reason why family's were ripped apart, why children have had to grow up without their mother or father and why a small group of ordinary citizens with ordinary jobs on Flight 93, chose to sacrifice their own lives which belonged to them and their families, in order to save a mass amount of fellow citizens. The death of Osama Bin Laden is being described as justice, some how i don't see it as complete justice, he was responsible for loss of lives of many variations of people, whether it be by nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion and race. He caused devastation in many homes across the world, he's the reason why September 11th will never be just a normal day, instead it will be a day where many individuals will have to remember what was taken away from them. Justice hasn't been done, but today has allowed it to be closer to it then it ever has been.

The bravery and selfless deed by the passengers on Flight 93, highlighted that even on a day that had already experienced tragedy cause by a small group of people, there were people who existed in the same country who were willing to give their lives for others. Their chance of survival was almost non existent no matter where the plane crashed, however, they still managed to be heros' in a time of desperation, their actions to challenge al-Qaeda meant that Flight 93 crashed in a deserted field, instead of land populated with citizens.

The moral story in all of this is, there may be people in the world that have different ideas and choose to use those ideas in order to create destruction among countries or towns or families, but in times of despair people will show who they really are, some people will become brave and fearless, some people will stand up for what they believe in and fight for their life, some people will run scared and pray that it disappears and some people will shock you and sacrifice their life in order to save anothers'.

If you had to risk your life for someone that you've never met before, who has never done anything to harm another life and would do the same for you in the same situation, would you? Would you feel it was reckless? Would you feel it would be the honourable and decent thing to do? Would you not even consider the idea of not even trying to save them? Or would you run?
