The article discusses the 24 years that have passed since the simultaneous terror attacks in the U.S. often remembered as "9/11". In Japan, a yearning still persists to connect with those lost individuals who were affected by the attacks. The write-up delves into the individual narratives of Japanese citizens who lost their loved ones, their continual struggle for resolution, and the echoes of this event that resonate in the country today.
Terror attacks like "9/11" have left a deep impact on Japanese society, given Japan's close ties with the U.S. The incident shook the public viewpoint on international security, resulting in greater consciousness and response toward global terrorism. Japanese empathize deeply with the victims due to their own experiences with acts of terror, and annual memorial events often occur to honor the victims of such incidents.
In the US and EU, commemoration events for victims of such tragic attacks often include public memorials, speeches by influential figures, and media coverage. Like Japan, these countries also work toward improving international security measures to prevent future incidents. However, cultural differences may exist in how these countries deal with loss and remember the victims.
