How Has Air Travel Changed Since 9/11

On September 11, 2001 four planes were hijacked. Two planes hit the twin towers and one hit the pentagon.  9/11 was a tragic event  that will never  be forgotten. Over 3000 people died.  On Tuesday morning 19 terrorists boarded four planes.   The hijacker intentionally took over the plane and flew them into their destination. However, one of the planes, flight 92, was heading towards Washington D.C. but many brave people tried stop the terrorists by taking over the plane.  Flight 92 crashed into a field near Shanksville.

Before this attack airline security was simple.     Everybody would  walk through a medal detector and their bags would be X-rayed.  Prior to 9/11 all of this was done by a privet companies supervised by the Federal Aviator administration. However, after the event on September 11, 2001, the government set up the Transportation Security Administration. 

Transportation Security Administration

This is an agency of the U.S. Department of Home Land Security.

"Oh, captain my captain" Quote

This quote was taken from one of Walt
Whitman's poems.  This poem talks about

a Captain that found the treasure;
however, after he found what he was

looking for forever he dies.

Lincoln's assassination inspired Walt Whitman to write the poem.

Lincoln was a well known person and he saved the Union.

This was his main purpose but while he was trying to succeed he came along another task.

He would emancipate slavery.

Walt Whitman had lived in Washington for mist of the civil wsar and Lincoln was his hero.

Like the captain in his poem Lincoln was killed after he completed his mission and would be remembered forever as the slavery emancipator.

However, in the Dead Poet Society John Keating, a high school teacher, uses this quote in a different way.
