EWOT Goggles #1 - "Is the 9/11 giving an economical benefit to the USA?"

      9/11....  
      10 years ago the United States of America as we all knew it transform. It trasform due to a historical terrorism attack to the Twin Towers in New York City. A horrofic event that trasform all of our lives and have a terrible economical effect in the USA as in the world. A lot of works were lost as well as lives. Insurance companies so a massive lost which was greater than the one they saw after Hurican Andrew in 1935, airlines throught the USA were damage since a lot of flights were cancelled so airlines have to refund all of the lost ticket as well as the price of shares plummeted, tourism in NYC went to the floor provoking more people to loose their jobs and the costs of airport security that were implemented after that as well. All this was maybe a short and very brief summary of the economical effets with the 9/11 compared to stats that could show in numbers the money that the USA lost.

So today 10 years have past since this accident and I have observe something this week that calls my attention. Today NFL games and any other sport that is played gave a minute of silence dedicated to all of the lives that were lost that day. In my rugby game yesterday we all went on our knees and dedicated the minute of silence as well. Big movements and ceremonies around the United States were performed in order to commemorate those people that died. Big Television companies televised and show the all of the united states citizens this movement. Television shows this events and special programs of what happened 10 years ago indirectly gives economical benefit to all the television companies that actually take the rights to televised. Today in my dorms some of the students that had T.V were watching this special programs dedicated to the 9/11 and some actually went to restaurants or other places where they can watch it. Without exaggerating a student on my friend's school, who suffer a lost of family members in the 9/11, decided to buy a television with his roommate in order to watch this special program that was going to be dedicated to the 9/11 tragedy. He felt not watching was not an option.

All those companies like the ones televising the special programs, the restaurants that are visited to watch  the programs as well as the companies that maybe sold TVs or radios maybe are being benefited from the 9/11 tragedy.

So is the 9/11 giving an economical benefit to the USA after 10 years? You could answer this by yourself because I already did.....
