Non Americans, How Was 9/11 Displayed in Your Country?

Americans watched in horror as the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, left nearly 3,000 people dead in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Nearly 20 years later, they watched in sorrow as the nation’s military mission in Afghanistan – which began less than a month after 9/11 – came to a bloody and chaotic conclusion.

A devastating emotional toll, a lasting historical legacy
Shock, sadness, fear, anger: The 9/11 attacks inflicted a devastating emotional toll on Americans. But as horrible as the events of that day were, a 63% majority of Americans said they couldn’t stop watching news coverage of the attacks.

Chart shows days after 9/11, nearly all Americans said they felt sad; most felt depressed
Our first survey following the attacks went into the field just days after 9/11, from Sept. 13-17, 2001. A sizable majority of adults (71%) said they felt depressed, nearly half (49%) had difficulty concentrating and a third said they had trouble sleeping.

It was an era in which television was still the public’s dominant news source – 90% said they got most of their news about the attacks from television, compared with just 5% who got news online – and the televised images of death and destruction had a powerful impact. Around nine-in-ten Americans (92%) agreed with the statement, “I feel sad when watching TV coverage of the terrorist attacks.” A sizable majority (77%) also found it frightening to watch – but most did so anyway.

Americans were enraged by the attacks, too. Three weeks after 9/11, even as the psychological stress began to ease somewhat, 87% said they felt angry about the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

Fear was widespread, not just in the days immediately after the attacks, but throughout the fall of 2001. Most Americans said they were very (28%) or somewhat (45%) worried about another attack. When asked a year later to describe how their lives changed in a major way, about half of adults said they felt more afraid, more careful, more distrustful or more vulnerable as a result of the attacks.

Even after the immediate shock of 9/11 had subsided, concerns over terrorism remained at higher levels in major cities – especially New York and Washington – than in small towns and rural areas. The personal impact of the attacks also was felt more keenly in the cities directly targeted: Nearly a year after 9/11, about six-in-ten adults in the New York (61%) and Washington (63%) areas said the attacks had changed their lives at least a little, compared with 49% nationwide. This sentiment was shared by residents of other large cities. A quarter of people who lived in large cities nationwide said their lives had changed in a major way – twice the rate found in small towns and rural areas.

The impacts of the Sept. 11 attacks were deeply felt and slow to dissipate. By the following August, half of U.S. adults said the country “had changed in a major way” – a number that actually increased, to 61%, 10 years after the event.

A year after the attacks, in an open-ended question, most Americans – 80% – cited 9/11 as the most important event that had occurred in the country during the previous year. Strikingly, a larger share also volunteered it as the most important thing that happened to them personally in the prior year (38%) than mentioned other typical life events, such as births or deaths. Again, the personal impact was much greater in New York and Washington, where 51% and 44%, respectively, pointed to the attacks as the most significant personal event over the prior year.

15 years after 9/11 – the attacks continued to be seen as one of the public’s top historical events
Just as memories of 9/11 are firmly embedded in the minds of most Americans old enough to recall the attacks, their historical importance far surpasses other events in people’s lifetimes. In a survey conducted by Pew Research Center in association with A+E Networks’ HISTORY in 2016 – 15 years after 9/11 – 76% of adults named the Sept. 11 attacks as one of the 10 historical events of their lifetime that had the greatest impact on the country. The election of Barack Obama as the first Black president was a distant second, at 40%.

The importance of 9/11 transcended age, gender, geographic and even political differences. The 2016 study noted that while partisans agreed on little else that election cycle, more than seven-in-ten Republicans and Democrats named the attacks as one of their top 10 historic events.

What's Your Coolest Story Of INSTANT KARMA In A Long-Term RELATIONSHIP?

What's Your Coolest Story Of INSTANT KARMA In A Long-Term RELATIONSHIP?Instant karma in a long-term relationship can be incredibly satisfying, whether it’s a cheating partner getting exposed, a manipulative person facing their own tactics, or someone finally realizing the value of what they lost.One example could be a partner who repeatedly took their significant other for granted—ignoring them, lying, or even cheating—only to be left when their partner finally had enough. Shortly after, they see their ex thrive, find real happiness, and move on to someone better, while they struggle with regret and loneliness.Another classic case of instant karma might be a manipulative partner trying to control the relationship, only to end up in a situation where they are the ones being left behind or outplayed in their own game.These stories often highlight poetic justice—where someone gets exactly what they deserve, sometimes even within moments or days of their bad actions.Keywords:Instant Karma, Long-Term Relationship, Breakup, Cheating, Manipulation, Poetic Justice, Relationship Revenge, Getting What They Deserve, Ex Regret, Moving On, Betrayal, Toxic Relationship, Personal Growth, Karmic Justice, Emotional PaybackBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-stories-2025--5953081/support.

People Who Have Been Catfished, How Did You Realize You Were Being Lied To?

People Who Have Been Catfished, How Did You Realize You Were Being Lied To?

People Who Have Been Catfished, How Did You Realize You Were Being Lied To?People who have been catfished often realize they’re being lied to in a variety of ways, and the stories behind it can be both heartbreaking and eye-opening. Here are some common signs people share when they realize they’ve been catfished:1. Avoiding Video Calls or In-Person MeetingsMany people catfishing others will make excuses to avoid showing their face in real-time, whether it’s through video calls or meeting up in person. They might say their camera is broken or that they’re “too busy” to meet up. A user might start to feel suspicious when this pattern continues.2. Inconsistencies in StoriesOver time, the catfish’s story might start to have inconsistencies. They might give conflicting details about their job, background, or personal life. Some even change their story multiple times, which makes it hard for the victim to keep up, eventually leading them to question what’s true.3. Suspicious PhotosA common red flag is when the person sends photos that seem too perfect or, on the flip side, appear to be taken from someone else's social media. Sometimes, the victim might find the same photos used in different places online, raising suspicions that the person isn't who they claim to be.4. Too Good to Be True Compliments or Over-the-Top AffectionWhen someone showers you with compliments too early or expresses extreme affection very quickly, it can sometimes feel “too perfect” and create a sense of urgency or dependency. This often makes the victim overlook warning signs because they are flattered or feel loved.5. Requests for Money or HelpA huge red flag in catfishing is when the other person asks for money, gifts, or help with something urgent—like a medical emergency, travel costs, or a “financial setback.” Victims might feel emotionally manipulated into helping someone they believe is real but who actually doesn’t exist.6. Over-Emotional ConnectionsSome people who are being catfished start to feel a deep emotional bond with the person they are talking to. When they realize something feels off, it can be hard to come to terms with the fact they may have been emotionally manipulated.7. Stalking or Trying to Find ThemEventually, many people get suspicious and try to search for more information about the person. They might look for social media profiles, reverse-image search their photos, or try to find common connections. Often, this leads to discovering that the person’s identity has been stolen or fabricated.Once they piece it together, they realize they’ve been catfished, which can be an emotional experience. It’s also a reminder to be cautious and protect your personal information when interacting online.Catfished, Online Dating, Red Flags, Video Calls, Inconsistencies, Suspicious Photos, Requests for Money, Emotional Manipulation, Fake Identity, Scams, Personal Safety, Social Media, Trust Issues, Manipulative Behavior, Relationship Warning SignsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-stories-2025--5953081/support.
