Many closures and cancellations follow the September 11 attacks , including famous buildings, buildings, access restrictions to Lower Manhattan, and delays or cancellations of major sporting events and other events. The landmark is closed mainly because of fears that they might be attacked. In some places, the road leading to the institution is also closed. When they reopen, there is increased security. Many countries declare a state of emergency.

Lower Manhattan
Speaking at a press conference at 11:02 am on the morning of the assault, Mayor Giuliani told New York: "If you are south of Canal Street, get out, walk slowly and carefully.If you can not imagine what else to do , just walk north. "The neighborhood was covered in dust and debris, and electrical failure caused a traffic light outage. Emergency vehicles are given priority to respond to ongoing fires, build collapse, and expected mass casualties. More than a million workers and residents south of Canal Street were evacuated, and police stopped pedestrians from entering lower Manhattan. With the subway shut down, the vehicle traffic is restricted, and the tunnel closed, they mostly run away on foot, crashing bridges and ferries to Brooklyn and New Jersey.
On September 12, vehicle traffic was banned on South 14th Street, a subway station on the south of Canal Street was skipped, and pedestrians were not allowed under Chambers Street. Vehicle traffic under Canal Street is not permitted until 13 October.
The New York Stock Exchange did not open on September 11 even when CNBC showed futures figures in the morning. As Wall Street was covered with debris from the World Trade Center and suffered infrastructure damage, it remained closed until 17 September.
Bridges and tunnels
At least one full day after the attack, the bridge and tunnel to Manhattan are closed for non-emergency traffic in both directions. Among other things, this disrupts the delivery of scheduled food and other perishable goods, which causes shortages in the restaurant. From September 27, 2001, a one-passenger car is forbidden to cross into Lower Manhattan from Midtown on a weekday morning in an attempt to lighten some of the city's traffic crush (morning rush hour runs from 5:30 am to 12:00 am ), primarily due to increased safety measures and the closure of major vehicles and transit passes.
Transit masses
Subway New York City
Tracks and stations under the WTC were shut down within minutes of the first plane crash. All remaining New York City Subway services are discontinued from 10:20 am to 12:48 pm. Immediately after the attack and more after the collapse of the Twin Towers, many of the trains operating in Lower Manhattan lost power and had to be evacuated through the tunnel. Some trains have power but no signal, require special operating procedures to ensure safety.
The Broadway-Seventh Avenue IRT line, which runs under the World Trade Center between Chambers Street and Rector Street, is the most paralyzed. Parts of this tunnel, including the Cortlandt Street station (located just below the World Trade Center), were severely damaged, and had to be rebuilt. The service immediately suspended south of Chambers Street and then cut back to 14th Street. There is also a subsequent flood in the south line of 34th Street-Penn Station. After the flooding was cleared, the express service was able to continue on September 17 with 1 train running between Van Cortlandt Park-242 Street and 14th Street, making local stops north of and expressing a south stop off 96th Street, while 2 and 3 trains made all stops in Manhattan but passes all stations between Canal Street and Fulton Street until 1 October). 1/9 the skip-stop service is suspended.
After some transitional delays on 96th Street, the service was changed on September 19th. Train 1 resumed local services in Manhattan, but extended to New Lots Avenue in Brooklyn (switched to an express line on Chambers Street) to replace the 3 , which is now halted on 14th Street as express. Train 2 continues to make local stops in Manhattan and the service between Chambers Street and South Ferry and the pass-stop service remains suspended. The normal service on all four trains was restored on September 15, 2002, but Cortlandt Street will remain closed while the World Trade Center site is rebuilt.
The service on the BMT Broadway Line is also disrupted as the tracks from the Montague Road Tunnel run adjacent to the World Trade Center and there are fears that railroad movements can lead to the deposition of unsafe debris. The Cortlandt Street station, located under Church Street, suffered significant damage in the tower collapse. It was closed until 15 September 2002 to remove debris, structural repairs, and restoration of trajectories, which have been damaged by flooding after the collapse. Starting September 17, 2001, N and R services were suspended and each was replaced by M (extended to Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue via BMT Montague Street Tunnel, BMT Fourth Avenue Line and BMT Sea Beach Line) and J (also extended through Fourth Avenue to Bay Ridge-95th Street). In Queens, Q replaces R while W replaces N. All services on the BMT Broadway Line run north of Canal Street except for & lt; Q & gt; , which runs normally from 57th Street to Brighton Beach via Broadway and Brighton Express. J/Z the skip-stop service is suspended at this time. The normal service on all seven trains resumes on 28 October.
The only subway line connecting between Midtown and Lower Manhattan is the IRT Lexington Avenue Line, which is packed before the attack and crush density until the BMT Broadway Line reopens. Wall Street is closed until 21 September.
The Del Eighth Avenue line, which has a pilot terminal serving the E train under the Five World Trade Center, is undamaged, but covered with soot. The b
No casualties were reported on the subway or train disappearance, but MCI coach bus was destroyed. Other buses were damaged, but were fixed and returned in normal service with special warning livery.
PATH
PATH began evacuating passengers from the Manhattan train and tracks within minutes of the first plane crash. The World Trade Center's PATH station was heavily damaged (a train parked at the station was destroyed by rubble and removed during the excavation process in January 2002) and all services there were suspended. For several hours, PATH did not run the train to Manhattan, but was able to restore service at Uptown Hudson Tubes to 33rd Street in the afternoon. Exchange Place can not be used because the switch configuration at that time requires all trains to continue to the World Trade Center. As a result, PATH runs a modified service: Hoboken-Journal Square, Hoboken-33rd Street, and Newark-33rd Street. Exchange Place reopened with modifications on June 29, 2003; temporary stations replacing the World Trade Center opened on 23 November.
Ferry
Liberty Water Taxi and NY Waterway have a ferry terminal at World Financial Center. Because the area around the terminal is in the forbidden zone, NY Waterway stops service to the terminal with alternate services to Midtown and Wall Street and the Liberty Water Taxi service is stopped. The free ad-hoc ferry service to New Jersey, Brooklyn, and Queens begins at night, with about half a million refugees being transported by Circle Line Tours, NY Waterways, private vessels, tugboats, and at least one boat apiece.
Bus
The MTA buses are temporarily suspended south of Canal Street, and the MTA and NJ Transit buses are redirected to serve passengers arriving in Brooklyn and New Jersey by walking and taking the ferry out of Manhattan.
Intercity transport
The Port Authority Bus Terminal is closed until 13 September. Amtrak stops all national rail services until 6pm. Greyhound Bus Lines canceled its bus service in the Northeast, but it runs normally on September 13.

North American airspace
The entire airspace of the United States and Canada is closed ("ground stop") except for military, police and medical flights. (Implementation of the Air Traffic Security Control and the unprecedented Air Navigation Aid Tool (SCATANA) is an unplanned first closure in the US military drills known as Skyshield Operations have temporarily closed airspace in the early 1960s.) Domestic aircraft transferred to the nearest available airport. All non-military flights require special approval from the United States Air Force and FAA. There are only a few dozen private planes receiving approval within that time frame. Air Patrol airpage Civil Air Patrol is the earliest approved non-military aircraft. United Airlines canceled all flights around the world temporarily. Excavated passengers and aircraft are searched for security threats. Amtrak closed until 6pm on September 11, but on September 13 it has increased its capacity by 30% to handle the entry of stranded aircraft passengers.
Many incoming international flights are diverted to the Atlantic Canada to avoid proximity to potential targets in the US and major Canadian cities. Some international flights departing from South America are diverted to Mexico as well, however, the airspace is not closed. On Thursday night, New York area airports (JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark) closed again and reopened the next morning. The only traffic from LaGuardia during the closure was a VIP jet of the C-9C government, leaving at around 5:15 pm. on the 12th.
Civil air traffic was permitted to continue on 13 September 2001, with stricter airport security checks, not permitted such as box-cutting blades used by hijackers. (Strengthening cockpit doors started in October 2001, and required for larger airlines in 2003). First, the stranded aircraft is allowed to go to the intended destination, then limited services resumed. Stacked passenger accumulation takes several days to clear.
Due to error translation controllers, it is believed that the Korean Air Flight 85 may have been hijacked. Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrà © Å © tien and US authorities ordered the US Air Force to besiege the plane and force it to land in Whitehorse, Yukon and shoot down the plane if the pilot does not cooperate. Alaska Governor Tony Knowles ordered the evacuation of large hotels and government buildings in Anchorage. Near Valdez, (also in Alaska), U.S. Coast Guard. ordered all the tankers to fill the oil to go overboard. Canadian officials evacuated all major schools and buildings in Whitehorse before the plane landed safely.

Government cancellations and delays
In an atmosphere reminiscent of the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, daily life in the United States ceased in the days following the September 11 attacks. There is widespread perception soon after the attack that recreational and sporting events are inappropriate to honor the dead and wounded. For this reason, as well as for alleged threat reasons associated with large meetings, many events are suspended or canceled. Other events are also canceled, paused, or modified:
- Voting on September 11 in the New York City Mayoral Primary Election is suspended. Elections in Syracuse, New York and Buffalo, New York were also delayed.
- The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), with the Head of the Commonwealth of Nations will be held in Brisbane, the capital of Queensland state, Australia, was adjourned. The meeting organizers stated that it was not a fear of terrorist attacks at the meeting itself, but the desire of many Commonwealth leaders to remain at home in the event of world events that create further crises (such as the start of an open military) action in Afghanistan or elsewhere ). CHOGM was finally held at Coolum Beach, Queensland.
- The Mexican Independence Parade scheduled for September 16 in Mexico City was postponed one day to show compassion; many other Independence celebrations were held on the 16th without fireworks.
- Abercrombie & amp; Fitch canceled the 2001 edition of Christmas on A & amp; F Quarterly because the company felt the tone of the publication was not suitable for the atmosphere at that time.
