Thomas Jefferson wrote that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were unalienable rights when he drafted the Declaration of Independence in June 1776. Those famous words led the thirteen colonies into the American Revolution and influenced the French and Haitian Revolutions in the years that followed. But what does life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness really mean? Webster’s dictionary defines life as being a quality that distinguishes a living being from a dead body. It also states

Princess Diana’s former butler, was “perfectly capable” of forging the “handwriting” of Diana, and she had no recollection of the princess ever “fearing for her life.” As the letter was presented to the Royal Courts of Justice in London Dodi’s father, Mohamed Al Fayed, began to claim that the couple was killed with a M16 with a shooter that was hired by Prince Phillip
On August 31, 1997, Princess Diana, the “people’s princess,” passed away in a car accident (Emery). While it was ruled as an accident, there have been some other opinions as to what may have happened that night.

According to a former MI6 officer, Richard Tomlinson, the way Princess Diana died was a former MI6 plan. The British Secret service, or MI6, were thought to believe Princess
When the attacks on 9/11 happened many people died or were injured. On the day of 9/11 almost 3,000 people died and more than 6,000 people were injured. The attacks happened on the World Trade Centers, the Pentagon, and one crashed in a field at Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The crash that I hear most about now is the one that happened on the World Trade Centers. I think it was because the buildings collapsed when it happened and it probably seemed a lot more intense. My dad went to work at the Pentagon
Just thinking that one of your family members could be dead right now if one flight wouldn 't have been canceled is kind of a scary feeling. 9/11 changed America forever and it will never be the same. Many people sat in front of televisions and radios listening hoping there loved ones would come home. Some even expected calls. Al Qaeda attacked the WTC for many reasons. They didn 't have capacity to destroy the us military, so they focused on the WTC instead. The twin towers symbolized globalization
When Osama Bin Awad Bin Laden was born, he lived a pretty innocent life. He was the 17th child out of 50 siblings. He married a relative when he was 17 years old.

Airport Security September 11, 2001, was truly a tragic day where four commercial airplanes were hijacked; two which flew directly into each tower of the World Trade Center causing enormous damage and costing a multitude of people their lives. But could the attacks have been prevented? On September 11, a group of terrorist representing Al Qaeda got past the weak and flawed airport security, which led to the hijacking of the commercial airplanes and the death to thousands. Since September 11, the
September 11th, 2001. A very memorable date to residents in America. A day in which that many loved ones were killed and a day that started the targeting of Muslims for racial slurs, discrimination, and racial profiling. Americans prior bias towards Muslim terrorist groups had occurred from the event of 9/11, their biases were based on the emotion towards the event, the threats from the groups even now that the whole world faces, and more events involving Muslim terrorist groups that America has
The attacks on September 11 greatly impacted the American people through death, health and psychological issues. In 2001, a massive terrorist attack was launched against the United States by a terrorist organization known as Al-Qaeda. These devastating attacks took place in three major locations: New York City, Washington, and Pennsylvania. The most commonly known attacks were the American Airlines that crashed into the World Trade Center’s North and South towers in New York City. These strategic
On March 11, 2002, the public was made aware of the mistake made by Huffman Aviation International, a school down in Venice, Florida that helps to train pilots. This school trained two immigrants, known as Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi. These two were just two of the nineteen hijackers on September 11, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service did nothing to stop them (Korman 1). It is unbelievable that a pilot training school in our nation helped cause the worst terrorist attack in the
