Most important events of 21st centurty by ASHTON WHITE https://padlet.com/ashtonwhite4/sgrf4jh3z1puimqk Ashton White en-us 2022-05-12 18:44:59 UTC 2026-03-17 00:57:58 UTC hello@padlet.com 911 ashtonwhite4 https://padlet.com/ashtonwhite4/sgrf4jh3z1puimqk/wish/2181820700 Easily the most important event of the 21st century. It was between the U.S. and terrorists mainly from Saudi Arabia. 911 was where 4 planes were hijacked by terrorists. 2 of the planes crashed into the twin towers, while the other 1 hit the pentagon. The 4th plane crashed into a field after the passengers tried to regain control of the plane. The pentagon is located in Washington D.C. and the Twin Towers were in New York, New York. Looking back it is still remembered, it changed so many things, especially airline security. I picked it because everyone I ask or everywhere I search says something about 911.

"The first generation iPhone hits the U.S. market.
It featured a 3.5” screen, a multi-touch touchscreen display, microphone, headset controls, and specs that the modern smartphone user takes for granted today." It was released on January 29, 2009.

I picked it because I cannot live without it, like with many other people.

Youtube was made at first to be a dating app.
It was released on February 14, 2005.

I picked this because it has definitely changed my life and others.

Hurricane Katrina was a tropical cyclone that hit lots of places, including New Orleans. It was formed from previous tropical depressions and waves. It started on August 23, 2005.

Donald Trump was elected president after beating Hillary Clinton. He won on November 8th of 2016. "President Trump set out his stall on immigration just a week after his inauguration, closing US borders to travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries." I picked him because he is definitely the most controversial president of the 21 century, whether you liked him or not, he did good things but he did have some flaws. (Like a lot of presidents)

The Cleveland Cavaliers completed objectively the greatest sports comeback of all time.
The Cavs were able to do what no team had ever done in the NBA Finals, come back from down 3-1.
Similar to Tom Brady, this helped LeBron James' case for the greatest of all time.
It was so important because no one thought it could be done, especially against the Warriors who were the greatest team of all time.
At the time it brought the city of Cleveland its first championship in any sport in over 50 years.
Now it is looked at as one of the all-time performances where LeBron was able to bring his hometown a championship.
I picked this because it is my favorite sports series of all time.

He declared war on terrorism and ordered the invasion of Afghanistan in an attempt to overthrow the Taliban and many more. Even before his reelection, he handled the post-911 situation which was no easy task. I picked him because I think it would be difficult to handle 911.

The Patriots completed the greatest Superbowl comeback of all time.
2017
Tom Brady really put his name for the greatest of all time after bringing his team back.
His legacy went through the roof, people started calling him the goat.
It inspired many people, athletes or any one who believes in never giving up.
Today it is looked at as one of the greatest sports games ever.
I picked this because this is one of the greatest NFL games I have ever seen.

The 3D printer was an invention that has and is still changing the world.
1981 in Japan is record of the first one.
Hideo Kodama was trying to develop a prototyping system.
It has made it much easier to develop things.

A pandemic shut down the world in early 2020.
There was a mask mandate in America.
Covid had so many other things, like toilet paper shortage, hand sanitizer, etc.
Everyone had to adjust to wearing masks.
Today we still hear about it, there are still vaccines going around for it.
I picked this because I lived through it.

The Raptors won their first NBA championship.
2019 in the NBA Finals.
Kawhi Leonard had one of the best postseason runs.
Every NBA fan became a Kawhi Leonard supporter for what he did.
Ever since the era of super teams in the NBA has not been successful.
I think this one forever changed the way the NBA will be played.

Eminem became mainstream around 1999, but he became an icon around 2002. He was breaking records for albums sold the first week and many more.
He's from Detroit and Amsterdam is where he made some of his best work.
His shock value lyrics hit America, you either loved him or hated him.
He released timeless records and brought up other iconic rappers like 50 Cent.
He has influenced many of today's modern rappers, most notably Kenrick Lamar and J. Cole.
Eminem to many is an immature artist, but his success cannot be denied, he is the highest-selling artist of the 21 century.
