5 Years After September 11th

Five years ago, the United States suffered the worst attacks ever to take place on our soil. The World Trade Center attacks, the attack on the Pentagon, and the loss of life on Flight 93 and the other flights involved, devastated a nation.

Take a look back at the events of September 11th, 2001 and contemplate where we are and how we've gotten here.

Thoughts to Ponder

  • Could the attacks on September 11th, 2001 havebeen averted?

  • Misinformation, myths, and conspiracy theories now surround the events of 9-11. What are some of the myths and conspiracy theories, and do you believe them or not?

  • Has the path the US taken since 9-11 been the correct path?

  • What would you have changed in our response to September 11th?
