Week 3 Criminal Justice



Our class started this week by reviewing. We talked about the material we learned last week which was revolved around terrorism since the tenth anniversary of 9/11 was this past Saturday. On the subject of 9/11, we looked at the memorials website and checked out all the features of the new Apple app for the memorial. We recalled how there were many missed oppurtunities to prevent the attack and went into detail on the eight signs of terrorism. We learned the history of terrorism and how its mainly over religious views.
The last two days of class we spent watching the tv show "Surviving Disaster". The first episode we watched Navy Seal Cade Courtley showed us how to react and handle the situation if you were on a plane being hijacked. He went step by step in the scenerio showing us how to first react, take out the terrorists, gain back control of the plane, treat injuries and land the plane. I think that this was really good way to learn because it doesnt just tell you how to but also shows you in a realistic scenerio.
The next episode we watched was about a terrorist group entering a mall and launching a very strategic attack. We were shown to handle this when all your emergency exits are blocked and your up against assault rifles. We learned how to treat a gunshot wound when you dont have proper first aid supplies. Lastly in the video we learned how to approach the SWAT team when your able to escape so that do not think you are a foe.
We are gonna finish off the week tomorrow by taking a test on all the things we learned about terrorism. After that were gonna do flight simulations to learn how to fly and land a plane, I'm really excited to do this.
