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.

Jada Pinkett Smith Turned Will Smith Into #1 Cuckold in The World

Jada Pinkett Smith Turned Will Smith Into #1 Cuckold in The World

Jada Pinkett Smith Turned Will Smith Into #1 Cuckold in The WorldIt went from bad to worse for Will Smith after he slapped Chris Rock in the face over a joke about his wife at the Oscars, with many pointing out that Smith was exhibiting “cuckold rage” in response to him and his wife having an “open relationship.”After Rock mocked Jada Pinkett-Smith for having a G.I. Jane hairstyle, an irate Smith stormed the stage and struck the comedian across the face before yelling, “Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth!”The consensus of reaction was that Smith had absurdly overreacted to a joke that wasn’t even that offensive.After he was given a best actor award for his role in King Richard, an emotional Smith broke down in tears and apologized to everyone apart from Chris RockWill Smith will not tolerate other men making jokes about his wife. He will however tolerate other men having sex with his wife. This is a man of principle.— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) March 28, 2022In September last year, Smith attempted to dismiss years of cheating allegations by announcing he and Jada were in an “open relationship.”During the BAFTAs last month, Australian actor Rebel Wilson joked that the Fresh Prince star’s “best performance” was “being OK with all his wife’s boyfriends.”Ouch.Smith responded by trying to justify the situation by revealing his wife kept him informed of who she had slept with.Inside #WillSmith and #JadaPinkettSmith‘s ‘unconventional’ open marriage after slapping #ChrisRock at the #Oscars over the comedian comparing his wife, who has alopecia, to the leading actress from the film G.I. Jane https://t.co/GNUTAqnNwC— Josh Saunders (@journosaunders) March 28, 2022“There’s never been infidelity in our marriage. Jada and I talk about everything, and we have never surprised one another with anything, ever,” he said.Jada then went public with one such fling she had with rapper August Alsina in 2020.The couple said they were free to “do whatever they want” in their “grown relationship.”There’s clearly a huge disconnect between Smith being “okay” with his wife banging umpteen other men while having a violent hissy fit over Chris Rock making a joke about her hairstyle.The “open marriage” appears to have made the actor emotionally unstable and prone to explosive outbursts, lashing out in response to having been publicly disrespected and humiliated by his own wife.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-stories-2025--5953081/support.
