Travelling by Air


Flying after 9/11 attacks became very hard for people. They feared something bad might happen to them too. Before, people did not really think about the consequences that might happen to them when they travelled with a plane. But now 9/11 sort of put fear in people`s mind from all over the world. As stated in an article, Many business men and women also feel a little scared and uncomfortable flying after the terrorist attack in 9/11.
A lot of them decided to quit their jobs because of flying. Flying on a plane became a nightmare to people nowadays. Some people think they won’t return back home safe if they get on the plane. The Airline Business also slowed down. There were not a lot of people boarding on planes. A lot of Airline Companies were going to bankcruptcy because there were not enough sale of tickets. The fuel price also went up. The airlines also tried to secure the aircrafts even better than before. They made the cockpit door more heavier and made it not easy for the terrorists to get in and take control of the plane. But still the people could not trust it. American and United Airlines were the two Airlines who suffered most from it. These two airlines were the ones hijacked on 9/11. That is the main reason why some people cannot trust those companies anymore and stopped taking them.
