28 REFLECTION 3- The most memorable events were September 11, 2001, the Munich Olympics, and the Sarin nerve gas that was realeased on the train in Japan. These events made an impression on me because they were all caught on media making it easy for people around the world to watch them and inflict fear upon the government. 2- I would like to know more about October 23, 1983 and June 14,1985. I want to know more about why they chose to take over the pilot and the plane and why they didnt harm the pilot. Also, they used the truck bombs to destroy the American and French base. 1-We can stop terrorism by having tighter security around the world.
