Boston Bombing Spreads Fear Across Globe
Crime scene boundaries in Boston By Mariechen Puchert Associate Editor Youth Journalism International AT SEA OFF THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA – It is evening-time on the M/V Explorer and we are en route to Morocco. Students are eating, preparing for final examinations, and attending evening seminars. An announcement interrupts us: “We are sorry for interrupting the programs currently in session, but we have received some important news from the United States. Two bombs have exploded at the end of the Boston Marathon. No fatalities have been reported. Al Jazeera will be streamed to your cabins for further information.” I am not American. I have never been to Boston. I remember how abstract the news of 9/11 was many years ago. Now, I am relieved that no fatalities have been reported, but this does not seem … Read entire article »

A Decade Later: Collected Thoughts Of 9/11
Thoughts about Sept. 11, 2001 collected by Youth Journalism International students in interviews and in some cases, offered in personal essays by the YJI students themselves: There was a stiffness in the air. It was a day without smiles. – Kiara Christensen, American high school student living in Saudi Arabia I was in my first year at university. One of my friends often read the news from CNN so the morning after that (when the event took place, it was night in Viet Nam due to time zones), she told me about it. My very first reaction was kinda naïve. I was like, “How come?” because at that time, I believed the U.S. is a big and powerful country and it could not be attacked just like that.

9/11 Memorial: Mourners, Merchants, Singers, Skeptics Gather Near Ground Zero
Emma Bally / youthjournalism.org Janice Nickerson, whose cousin died in the terrorist attacks on 9/11, wears a shirt Sunday in New York that bears his photo. By Emma Bally Reporter Youth Journalism International NEW YORK, N.Y., U.S.A. – A sea of people flowed from block to block at the 9/11 Memorial site in Lower Manhattan on Sunday, all marking the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Some stopped to take pictures and some proudly held up images of loved ones lost on Sept. 11, 2001. Some were natives of New York City, and some came from other countries. A single tragedy brought all of these strangers together. On a perfect day in early September 10 years ago, terrorists hijacked planes and crashed them into World Trade Centers One and Two, the Pentagon, and into an open field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
