Watching On Native Soil was extremely sad to watch.  Seeing all the people in the two buildings having to choose between life and death was terrible to watch.  I learned a lot more about 9/11 than I had known before.  I learned that the buildings didn't collapse right when the planes hit them, and I learned that there was 4 planes when I thought there was only 3 planes that crashed that day.  It was interesting to me to  hear the survivors tails and the reactions from all the families and friends.  I really liked how they all came together to do what was right and the ending was amazing how the government admitted that they failed us which is really all the people wanted to hear at that point in time.  The events of 9/11 was a huge impact and turning point for America and the thoughts of millions of people.  The mindset of Americans towards the government was decreased and there trust in them was even lower.  The aftermath of 9/11 changed how security worked in airports and and racial profiling was turned into an even bigger deal.

  1. I agree with you Jessica. I learned a lot from this movie because when this happened we were so young. Seeing the brutal images on the TV today I understand more than I did when I was 4. Seeing those people jump from the towers made my heart sink as well as set the effects and the darkness of the day into my brain. Today I feel a little safer knowing that our airport security is more thorough (even though there is definitely room for improvement) and our government is possibly paying more attention to international affairs.

  2. I totally agree. Life after 9/11 has changed a lot and even though I was young at the time I can remember how horrific that day was. I think in the long run the U.S. homeland security has benefited from the the attack because they knew that they had to do a much better job. 9/11 exposed those who were not doing a good job in our security system and I feel much more safe now that we have replaced those people.
