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

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 First Hand Experience With A Serial KILLER?A serial killer is an individual who commits multiple murders, typically three or more, over a period of time, with a psychological motive driving their actions. The killings usually follow a recognizable pattern or modus operandi (MO), and there’s often a “cooling-off” period between murders. Serial killers have been the subject of intense fascination in media, true crime, and psychological studies due to their complex and disturbing behaviors.Common Traits of Serial Killers:Psychological Motivations:Desire for control, power, or dominance.Revenge, anger, or hatred.Obsession or compulsion.Sadistic tendencies.Victim Selection:Victims may share specific characteristics (e.g., age, gender, appearance).Some choose random victims, making detection more difficult.Methodology:Many have a specific MO, such as strangulation, stabbing, or poisoning.They may leave "signatures" (distinctive personal marks or rituals) at the crime scene.Personality Traits:Often appear charming or unassuming in public life (e.g., Ted Bundy).May exhibit traits of psychopathy or sociopathy.Lack of empathy or remorse.Cooling-Off Period:A distinct break between killings, which can last weeks, months, or even years.Famous Serial Killers:Ted Bundy: Charismatic and manipulative, responsible for the deaths of dozens of women.Jeffrey Dahmer: Known as the Milwaukee Cannibal, he killed and cannibalized his victims.Aileen Wuornos: A rare female serial killer who murdered seven men.John Wayne Gacy: The Killer Clown, who murdered young men and buried them under his house.Richard Ramirez: The Night Stalker, a California-based killer with satanic influences.Impact on Society:Serial killings inspire fear and media coverage, often leading to widespread public fascination.They challenge law enforcement and have driven advancements in forensic science and profiling.True crime literature, podcasts, and shows frequently explore the psychology behind these individuals.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-stories-2025--5953081/support.
