The events that occurred on September 11th, 2001 are events that will never be forgotten. They are tragic events which were a turning point in the growth of society by introducing the threat of terrorism. These events affected everyone all over the world, but especially in the United States. Almost 3,000 innocent people lost their lives because of these tragic events, with many others injured. More than 200 people jumped to their death possibly from 100 stories high which is a gut-wrenching fact that just reinforces how significant this event is in the world's history and to people's lives.
Millions of people were affected by 9/11; from physical health problems and mental health problems to great financial loss. More than a decade of studies shows that thousands of individuals involved with rescue and clean up operations have developed chronic physical and mental health conditions. It was also shown in people who lived, worked, or went to school in Lower Manhattan during 9/11. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was the most common health effect of 9/11, being found in up to 20% of adults who were exposed directly to the disaster that occurred at the World Trade Center. Studies also show that people who were exposed to dust and other substances in/on/around the WTC were more likely to develop respiratory problems, sinus issues, lung problems or asthma. One in ten people who enrolled in the WTC Health Registry developed asthma within six years of 9/11, this was three times the national rate.
The value of lives lost as well as property damage, goods and services is already at a loss of $100 billion; the cost of the four lost aircraft valued at a total of $385 million, the cost of the collapsed twin towers is somewhere between $3-$4.5 billion. The results of these tragic events also resulted in the loss of 83,000 jobs directly, which is an instant loss of $17 billion in wages. Immediately we see that the events of 9/11 had very significant impacts on America's and the world's economy. The total cost of the terrorist attacks? The price tag soon approaches $2 trillion. The financial losses of these events impacted the world greatly, with the fall of the global markets - those losses completely incalculable.
The significance on people's lives and the affects of 9/11 are still greatly felt today. With airport security increasing dramatically, to the lost loved ones whose lives can never be salvaged. Many people directly involved in the event are now suffering from health problems both physical and mental, which will have an everlasting affect on their lives. The tragic events of 9/11 can never be forgotten and will always be an image that sticks in our mind. It was a turning point in the world's history and introduced the real threat of terrorism. The world's safety was definitely compromised by these events.
