90.3 WCPN® Terrorist Attack
Story Archive:
- Cleveland
Security
America lost more than lives and buildings following last week's terrorist
attacks on New York and Washington. The country also lost its sense
of security. As individuals, many here in Cleveland are still dealing
with fears about traveling by air or working in buildings that could
be targets for terrorism. Others remain shaken by the mere fact of a
direct attack on American soil. But as we move towards regaining our
sense of safety, most of us recognize that some things may never be
the same again. 90.3
WCPN®'s Karen Schaefer reports. Aired September 20, 2001.
- A National
Trauma
The surviving victims of disaster scenes can carry hidden wounds that
only surface with time. Now that the initial shock of the World Trade
Center collapse has passed, some local psychological counselors are
concerned about the after-effects of September 11th on individuals -
and on the nation as a whole. 90.3
WCPN®'s David C. Barnett prepared this report. Aired September
19, 2001.
- Ethnic
Intimidation
Cleveland's Arab-American community has been the target of some of the
anger generated by the tragedies of last week. There have been several
reports of general harassment and vandalism, a firebombing at a Bedford
Gurdwaras, or Sihk place of Worship, and last night a car slammed through
the entrance of the Grand Mosque in Parma. Arab-Americans are pleading
with the community not to link them with the senseless acts of a few
Muslim fanatics, and community leaders are backing them up. 90.3
WCPN®'s Bill Rice reports. Aired September 18, 2001.
- Cleveland
Reacts to the Terror
Streets in Cleveland were kept as clear as the skies last night as Mayor
Mike White urged people to stay away from downtown. Police remained
on high alert. While Cleveland is far away from Washington and New York,
90.3 WCPN®'s
Janet Babin reports that the miles were not enough to insulate the
city from the impact of the country's tragedy. Aired September 12, 2001.
