Beyond the Economy
From Dickinson College Wiki
War on Terror (economic impact)
Fear
The fear of economic repercussions from 9/11 were far higher then a natural disaster. It is especially horrific that it was an act of man, not a natural disaster, that caused 9/11 to occur.After Effects (Air lines losing hundreds of millions of dollars per day Empty airports, hotels, and theaters, Concerts and conventions were canceled, Wall Street spiraling downward) On 9/11 terrorists stuck the heart of global capitalism. We were in economic trouble before the terrorist attacks on 9/11. That’s what makes them so scary. The economy was already fragile.
