10. Who Planned 9/11 • Osama bin laden was the one who planned the whole 9 11 attack and his terrorist group the al-Qaeda did too and the al-Qaida did the hijacking. • There was 19 hijackers all of them committed suicide killing themselves and other innocent people.

11. Who Planned Pearl Harbor • Japanese refer to their emperors by the emperor's renal name rather than by his given name. Thus Emperor Hirohito is known as the "Showa" emperor after the name of his reign • He was the one who sent his naval force to bomb Pearl Harbor.

12. What Was Used In the Attack Of 9/11 • The planes that were hijacked to attack the twin towers had bombs that the Al-Qaeda put on the planes.

13. What Was Used In the Attack Of Pearl Harbor • In Pearl Harbor the Japanese also used airplanes with bombs and guns they used them to sink the ships as well as kill people.

14. Racism Of 9/11 • I am of East Indian descent, from Trinidad and Tobago (fourth generation). At the time of 9/11 I lived in New Jersey and commuted to NYC to work on First Avenue and Houston. • After 9/11 I was very nervous about going into the City, as nervous as everyone else. I was particularly affected by the fear of leaving my home that enveloped me on a daily basis. • You see, although I come from a country in the Caribbean, Americans thought I was Iraqi, Pakistani, you name it.

15. Racism Of Pearl Harbor • The U.S made camps for Japanese or Asian people so they don’t cause harm to the city of Hawaii. Despite the fact that most people who were Japanese were against their own country.

16. Conclusion • I think that both attacks were awful and they were both racist related so I think what Afghanistan and Japan got they deserved don’t you?
