1993 World Trade Center bombing
This shows the significance of the 1993 plot by terrorists to destroy the World Trade Center. In 1993, the terrorists’ plot was unsuccessful; however, in 2001 they did succeed. I feel that after 1993, the US government should have been aware global terrorists were plotting to destroy the World Trade Center, and should have taken preventive measures. Thus, the 9/11 attacks could have definately been prevented had the US government acted following the 1993 attacks.
The 1993 incident definitely alerted American government on the future perspective of terrorism. I concur with Yana that having a prediction of using planes to crash into twin towers is way more beyond my prediction on terrorism. On the other hand, nothing is impossible. Therefore, America should be more alert to its surrounding and tighten the control of security.
God bless America.
I agree with both of previous speakers.It wasn’t possible for government to predict 9/11 and army should have more money to protect us better.
As I was a foreigner to the U.S. at that time, this event wasn’t world wide recognition as 9/11. My view is that the more powerful the U.S. is, the more enemies it will have. However, the U.S have spent too much money on covering military bases all over the world, instead it should spent the money to protect the country and it’s citizens.
I would disagree with the comment that states that the government should have kept an eye on the World Trade Center. To think of a second attack on the same object would be possible if only the US government had the same thinking as terrorists. How could anyone have thought of deliberately colliding the airplanes into the Twin Towers? That goes beyond my comprehension.
