Idea
My idea is to do a factual drama based on the hijacking of the United Airlines flight 93 which formed part of the 9/11 attacks.
I also found out about the Vietnam War, the Chernobyl disaster and modern day terrorist incidents like the London 7/7 bombings and of course the most famous terrorist attack of all time 9/11. It was clear that 9/11 was a major incident and a event that completely changed the aviation industry, foreign relations with the USA and which ultimately lead to the Iraq War which famously Britain also got involved in. I also carried out primary research and interviewed my mother who is actually 56 (average radio 4 listener age) -I asked her about major news events that happened in her lifetime and the first thing she said was in fact the 9/11 incident so this emphasised to me how major this event was. It was clear from this research that 9/11 had such a major impact on the 21st century and this would be a very interesting factual drama to do a radio broadcast on. My aim was to ensure my audience became more informed about the hijackings and also to shock them, to emphasise the horrific nature of the attacks. Furthermore I thought that making a radio drama about this topic would be unique as I carried out many internet searches and couldn't find any radio drama's on the hijacking of United Airlines flight 93 - the closest thing I found was a BBC World Service radio drama on how US President Bush and Vice President Cheney responded in the first few hours after the 9/11 attacks.
To find this out what I was going to do my radio broadcast on I carried out a lot of research into major events that changed and shaped the world in my target audiences lifetime. I found out about events like the Cold War which first occurred during (1947-1953) and then in (1985-1991) which was the phase of a deterioration in relations between the Soviet Union and the West arising from the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979.
