On and around the first anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center, the world's press made full use of ‘9/11’ (also the national emergency telephone number in the US). The symbolism of number/divider/number has not replaced either ‘September 11’ or ‘Sept. 11’, but added to them by giving the date a special resonance. It may yet become the key name for the whole horrific series of events.

This chapter centers on the World Trade Center disaster and how its significance was interpreted through photographic imagery and the mass media. The spectacle of destruction has never been more vividly recorded than in the imagery of 9/11. The chapter discusses the work of two influential documentary photographers—James Nachtwey and Joel Meyerowitz—and what they were trying to achieve. But 9/11 photographs were also collected in two major archives that are discussed in the chapter—Here Is New York and the Library of Congress’s September 11 project—with their contrasting goals. The question of the “iconic” image is discussed in terms of the Falling Man photos, and the chapter concludes with a consideration of the extreme aestheticizing of the event in the remarks of composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, which caused an uproar in Europe and the US.

Abstract: Terrorism is a crime committed by a group of people to frighten, terrorize, intimidate a country's government. In the case of the September 11, 2001 terror that occurred at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the United States accused the al-Qaeda group of being behind the attack. Furthermore, the United States attacked Afghanistan and Iraq. America considers the attacks carried out are legitimate because they are carried out to reduce world terrorism crimes. Whereas behind that there is another motive for controlling the oil in the country that it attacked.Keywords: Terrorism, Intervention, United States. Abstrak:Terorisme merupakan kejahatan yang dilakukan oleh sekelompok orang guna menakuti, meneror, mengintimidasi pemerintahan suatu negara.

Padahal di balik itu ada motif lain untuk menguasai minyak yang ada di negara yang diserangnya.Kata Kunci: Terrorisme, Intervensi, Amerika Serikat

ABSTRACTAs part of an established traumatic stress research and treatment program located in New York City, we experienced the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center first as New Yorkers, but also as professionals with an interest in both treating the survivors and furthering scientific knowledge regarding the neurobiology and treatment of traumatic stress. This paper gives vignettes of calls to our program and the treatment of World Trade Center terrorist attack survivors.
