1993 Bombing of the World Trade Center
by Morgan

On the morning of February 26, 1993, a huge truck bomb bursted 100 feet through the bottom of the north tower of the World Trade Center. The bursting of the bomb was so forceful it demolished the first five floors at the bottom of the world trade center. The terrorist parked a van they rented in the parking garage and attached a homemade bomb to the inside of the van. The plan was for the north tower to explode and tip over toward the south tower. The bomb killed six people and injured over 1000 people. At the time it was the worst terrorist attack on the U.S, but that changed as soon as 9/11 hit.

The leader of the terrorist was Ramzi Ahmed Yousef which had help from Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman. The terrorist did have a second plan and that was to blow up the George Washington Bridge, the United Nations headquarters and other New York City landmarks. The terrorist were caught before any of this could occur. Ramzi Ahmed Yousef was caught in 1995 in Pakistan. By 2000 the north tower was restored and was later smashed again in 2001. media type="youtube" key="Oj8whtP9dHo" height="360" width="640"

Ninety minutes after the explosion, Nichols was stopped by an Oklahoma state trooper named Charlie Hanger for driving without a license plate and illegally carrying weapons. Quickly evidence piled to arrest Mcveigh and Nichols for the bombing. After they were charged with the crime and police found two more people Michael and Lori Fortier who were accomplices. Michael was arrested for not contacting the govt. When he saw the attack coming. Mcveigh who was a Gulf war veteran had detonated a rental truck full of explosives in front of the building, Nichols had helped prepare the bombs.

The FBI had named the investigation “OKBOMB”. The investigators had 28,000 interviews and 3.5 tons of evidence. In all they collected nearly One Billion pieces of evidence. The bombers were convicted of the crimes in 1997. Mcveigh was executed by lethal injection on June 21, 2001. Nichols is serving a life sentence since 2004. The accomplices both testified against Nichols and Mcveigh. Michael was charged with 12 years in prison and Lori received immunity from prosecution for her testimony.

The Impeachment of President Clinton
by: Mercedes

Bill Clinton was born in Hope, Arkansas on August 19th, 1946. He was the forty second president, and his term lasted from January 20th, 1993 to January 20th 2001. He was apart of the democratic party. In 1992, he ran for president against Ross Perot, and George W. Bush, and won. In 1978, he won the governorship. His vice president was Albert Gore. He was then re-elected in 1996. President Clinton was impeached under two accounts, Perjury and Obstruction Of Justice.

Perjury, is a offical lying under an oath. You may be charged with perjury for lying under the oath in both written and verbal form. Being found guilty of perjury is considered a felony and you may go to prison for up to five years. President Clinton was accused of perjury, when asked if he had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky under an oath in the presence of the grand jury.

Obstruction of justice is hiding information, changing it, or stating false information while under an oath. If you are found guilty of Obstruction Of justice, penalties can range from a misdemeanor,to fines, both, or even felonies. Thus depends on what form of obstruction was committed. Lying to a police officer, may result in a misdemeanor, but lying in the grand court may result in a felony. President Clinton was accused with Obstruction Of justice after having another lawsuit of sexual harassment with Paula Jones. Monica Lewinsky and president Clinton had agreed on keeping their relations secret, there for obstructing justice.

Bill Clinton will likely to go down as one of the most infamous presidents in U.S. history because he had an affair with twenty-two year old Monica Lewinski. media type="youtube" key="GCJiHzE3zJY" height="360" width="640"

Y2K Problem
by Melanie The Y2K Problem was also known as the Millennium Bug, the Y2K Bug, the Year 2000 Problem. Many people feared that when the date switched from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000, the computers would fail to recognize “00” as the year 2000. They also thought the computers would fail to operate properly, and in doing so, all of the computers would’ve been affected when it hit midnight. The Y2K problem occurred because there was a problem with the computer’s system coding, causing the computer not to know the actual date. The Y2K Problem happened on January 1, 2000 at 12:00 A.M.

The Y2K Problem wasn’t as significant as people expected, but it still caused a few problems for people. The Year 2000 was considered as a leap year for America. Apparently, some of the programmers who did the coding for the computers misunderstood the Gregorian rule, meaning, if the year was divisible by 400, they would make the year a leap year. If it wasn’t, it wouldn’t be a leap year.

Apple Releases the First iPod
by Elysium

On October 23, 2001, Steve Jobs introduced the ipod. The ipod packed 5GB of music storage into its sleek white box that’s no bigger than a deck of cards. The battery lasts up to 10 hours of music playing. Apple chose to unveil its portable digital music player in a low-key special event held on Apple’s campus in Cupertino.

They created it so that instead of people only being able to listen to CDs, music could be portable and people can listen to it anywhere. The commercial for the product showed a man jamming out to music on his computer. Then the camera changes to his computer screen and it shows him downloading the song onto his ipod. He then unplugs his ipod from the downloading plug and puts in his earbuds. He dances to the music from his ipod while getting on his jacket and shoes. Then, he leaves, still listening to his music.

9/11 Hijackings-World Trade Center
by:Adam and Brynn

September 11, 2001, two hijacked airplanes flew into the World Trade Center towers. At 8:46 a.m, American Airlines Flight 11, was flown into the North Tower. The residents of New York didn’t think it was a terrorist attack yet. They thought that the plane “accidentally” flew into the building. That wasn’t it though. Then at 9:03 a.m, United Airlines Flight 175 flew into the South Tower. After the second plane hit, people knew that this was a terrorist attack. 56 minutes after the South Tower was hit, the building collapsed. Then at 10:28 a.m, the North Tower collapsed. Big clouds of debris and dust spread throughout the city. No one had no idea that the towers would collapse like that. Earlier that morning aswell, Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon and Flight 93 crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. Later that month, the U.S. found out that the terrorist group al-Qaeda were the ones who organized the attack.

2,996 people died during the 9/11 attacks and 6,000 people were injured. But 2,606 of the people who died, were killed in the World trade Center Towers, or on the ground around the towers. For several months after the attacks, police officers and firefighters were searching for missing people, who were thought to be alive in the rubble of the towers. 9/11 is one of the biggest tragedies that ever happened in American history. And still is.

Flight 93
by Owen N.

Flight 93, or United 93 was a flight that was scheduled to come from the Newark Airport in New Jersey and was supposed to land in San Francisco’s National Airport. It was one of the flights hijacked during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. However the crew and passengers were able to prevent the four hijackers from Al-Qaeda to get to their destination. The passengers and crew forced themselves into the cockpit and ended up crashing into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. No one survived the crash. The aircraft that was crashed was a Boeing 757-222.

After hijackers took control of the plane some passengers were able to make phone calls to people on the ground, they were also able to make phone calls to their family members to tell them they loved them. After which they began to plan the attack to break into the cockpit, this meant they found all the weapons like bottles, knives, and glasses. With all the phone calls being made the passenger were able to find out that the two WTC’s had been hit with commercial airliners, and that the pentagon was hit as well. They were able to find out that there was a terrorist attack happening on the U.S. Then they broke into the cockpit but sadly it was too late and they were already to close to the ground and the plane crashed. A memorial was built in the spot that the plane crashed. media type="youtube" key="s1rLT4F-n7o" height="360" width="640"

The Afghanistan War
by Owen M.

The Afghanistan war was a period in time when the United States of America raided Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks with a goal to defeat Al Qaeda and removing the Taliban from power. Key allies, including the United Kingdom, supported the U.S. from the start to the end of the phase. This phase of the war is the longest war in United States history.

Operation Iraqi Freedom
by Kiera

In 2003 Iraq was invaded by the United States of America. The invasion process lasted from the 20th of March, to the 1st of May (The whole war lasted from 2003-2011.). The Iraqi War had been dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom by the United States. This invasion consisted of 21 days of major operations. Troops from the United States. United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland invaded Iraq and removed the Ba'athist government lead by Saddam Hussein. The invasion consisted mostly of conventional fighting. This included the capture of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad by American forces with the assistance of the United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland.

160,000 total troops were sent by the alliance into Iraq. 130,000 were sent from the U.S. alone. 28,000 from the U.K., 2,000 Australian soldiers were sent, and lastly around 194 from Poland. 36 countries had been involved in the aftermath. The U.S. prepared for the invasion by gathering and assembling 100,000 troops in Kuwait. The forces also received support from Iraqi Kurdistan.

According to U.S. President George Bush and UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, the coalition mission was "to disarm Iraq Weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein’s support for terrorism,and to free the Iraqi people." An emphasis on the impact of the September 2001 attacks, and what it did to the U.S. changing strategic calculations. Blair said the final straw or trigger, was when Iraq was given and didn’t take the opportunity to disarm its nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. The U.S. and U.K. thought that was very a major and intolerable threat to world peace.

Around January of 2003, CBS had done a poll on whether Americans had approved of military action against Iraq, or if they would rather find a diplomatic solution rather than going to war. 64% said yes let’s go to war wheres as 63% disagreed. 62% had believed the threat of terrorism directed against the U.S. would increase due to the war. Some allies of the United States including Germany, France, and New Zealand strongly opposed going to war. Opposing leaders argued that no strong evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and invading the country was unjustifiable. On 15 February 2003, a month before the invasion process began, breakouts of worldwide protests against the Iraq War happened. This includes a rally of three million people in Rome, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records the largest anti-war rally ever. 3,000 protests against the Iraq War had taken place and includes around 36 million people. This all happened between the time frame of January 3, and April 12th 2003.

Indonesian Tsunami
by Ethan and Patrick

The 2004 earthquake and tsunami occurred on December 26, 2004 off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. It had a shock magnitude of 9.1-9.3. This happened because the Indian plate was forced under the Burma plate. This made many tsunamis along the coast. This took the lives of 230,000 plus people with an additional 500,000 people left homeless. About a third of the victims were children. Experts say that a receding ocean may give people as much as five minutes, warning to escape to high ground. That may have been enough time for many of the people who were killed by the 2004 tsunami to save themselves, if only they knew what to do.

Today, many of the communities have recovered, though painful memories and some ruined structures remain in place. Across Asia today, memorials were held in remembrance of the thousands of victims. Amid the commemorations, continued warnings from earthquake experts that early-warning systems need even more development and funding in the region. Gathered here are images of the 2004 event, a series of then-and-now comparison images, and photos from today's memorials.

YouTube
by Dakota and Armando

YouTube, a familiar video sharing website that billions of people use almost daily has only been around for only 11 years. Founded in 2005 by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim, it was officially activated on February 14, 2005 at 9:13 P.M, Valentine's day. The first video, however, was posted on April 23, 2005. The video starred Jawed Karim, one of the previously stated founders, at the San Diego Zoo. The company was funded by a generous investor to get the company out of the garage they currently were running the website from. Later funds came from the firm, Sequoia Capital ($3.5 million and later $8 million) and CFO of PayPal, Roelf Botha. The funding helped move them out of their original headquarters, above a pizzeria and Japanese Restaurant.

In summer 2006, it was noted as one of the fastest growing websites, and later that fall, was bought by the search engine Google for $1.6 billion in stock. Then, in 2007, it’s bandwidth surpassed more than all of the web’s bandwidth in 2000. Also as popularity gained, YouTube started the YouTube awards for popular video makers called YouTubers. In fact, now hundreds of millions hours of YouTube are watched every day. Not only that, but overs 300 hours worth of video are being posted every minute. The first video to ever surpass one billion views was Gangnam Style by Psy and The most subscribed YouTuber is Swedish gamer, PewDiePie, with over 40 million subscribers.

YouTube’s significance is evident in our lives. More people are now watching YouTube than television. YouTube has also brought regular person's fame and is essentially shaping our society. YouTube’s videos can be used for either education or entertainment, and famous YouTubers actually make anywhere from a small to a large living. YouTube’s easy access videos allows for fast spread information as well, from disasters to small business advertisements to teachers in the classroom.

The Gulf Oil Spill
by Conner

The Gulf Oil Spill, located in the Gulf of Mexico, began April 20, 2010, and lasted until July 15, 2010. The BP Macondo Prospect had a blowout which caused the spill. There were 11 people who died or were never found. The Gulf Oil Spill was the largest accidental marine oil spill in history. It had been officially sealed on September 19, 2010. The estimated loss of barrels by the US government was around 4.9 million barrels.

After the spill, there was a very large amount of responses made to protect all of the beaches, wetlands, and estuaries it affected or could affect. Since the oil spill lasted for months, a lot of marine and wildlife was affected by all of the oil, and got damaged. 4.6 million pounds of oil material was removed from beaches in Louisiana in 2013. There were reports made in 2012 saying that the well was still leaking oil. Many investigations were commenced to find the reasoning behind the spill. In November 2012, BP had federal criminal charges like pleading guilty to 11 counts of manslaughter, two misdemeanors, and a felony count of lying to congress. In the end BP paid 4.525$ billion in fines. Later in July, 2015 they also paid 18.7 billion in fines. On September 2014, a US court judge decided that BP was mainly responsible for the oil spill because of their recklessness and carelessness.

by Jaden

Usama bin Laden, the founder and head of the Islamist group Al-Qaeda, was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, by twenty three members of the United States Navy SEALs of theU.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (also known as DEVGRU or SEAL Team Six). Five people were killed in the forty minute raid including Usama bin Laden one of his wives and one of his adult sons were killed by U.S. gunfire (there were no U.S casualties during the raid). Osama bin Laden was killed in the last five to ten minutes of the raid during a crossfire when a bullet hit him above the left eye. The man who fired the killing shots name was now retired Navy Seal Robert O'Neil.

Osama bin Laden's body was buried in North Arabian Sea.

The raid on bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, was launched from Afghanistan. U.S. military officials said that after the raid, U.S. forces took bin Laden's body to Afghanistan for identification, then buried him at sea within 24 hours of his death in accordance with Islamic tradition. Al-Qaeda confirmed the death on May 6 with posts made on the militant websites, vowing to avenge the killing. Other Pakistani militant groups including Tehrik-i-Taliban pakistan, also said retaliation against the U.S. and against Pakistan for not preventing the hijackings or plan. The raid was supported by over 90% of the american public, was welcomed by the United Nations, NATO, The European Union, and a large amount of different governments were criticized by others, including two-thirds of the Pakistani public.

Usama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden was born March 10, 1957, he was the founder of al-Qaeda, the organization that claimed responsibility for the September 11 attacks on the United States, along with numerous other mass-casualty attacks worldwide. media type="youtube" key="Uzl0GPU0vLE" height="360" width="640"

by Olivia and Jakob

On July 12th, 2016, 2:00, Pulse Nightclub was intruded by armed gunman Omar Mateen who shot and killed 49 people. Mateen’s ideal motive of the shooting was to get “Americans to stop bombing his country”. Some of the victims include, Stanley Almodovar III, Juan Ramon Guerrero, Eric Ivan Ortiz-Rivera, and Luis S. Vielma.

Omar threatened some of the people in Pulse with a bomb tied around his waist, and said that he had many other bombs planted around the club. Police later made sure the was clear by sending in a robot first, and then sending armed forces. Police found a battery and backpack close to where Mateen died, but no other bombs were found.

Texting
by Lana

Text messaging is sending electronic messages on a mobile phone and desktop computers. The term referred to messages, sent using the short message service. The sms text multimedia contained images, videos, and sound content. As of 2016, text messaging is used by teens and adults for personal things such as family purposes. Texting can also be used for participating in contest. Advertisers use direct text to phone users about promotions, payment due dates, and other notifications. Texting makes a quick way to communicate with colleagues and friends.

In 1933 RCA communications introduced the first telex service. The first messages had circuits that went between New York and London. Back in 1971, the University of Hawaii began using a radio to send information using Aloha.Net. Often messages contained less than 160 characters that. The short message service or sms for short, was used for the first time on December 3, 1922 by a 22 year old named Neil Papworth, a test engineer. Papworth used a computer to send the text message, Merry Christmas to the phone of Richard Jarvis.
