What happened?

What happened?

  • On the morning of September 11, 2001, in a series of suicide attacks against the United States, coordinated by the Islamic fundamentalist organization Al-Qaeda, nineteen terrorists stole four commercial passenger planes. The terrorists intentionally crashed two of the planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center business complex, killing everyone on board and many of the people working in the buildings. Both buildings collapsed within two hours of the impacts, destroying neighboring buildings and causing extensive other damage.

What happened?

  • The third passenger plane crashed into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, outside Washington, D.C. and the fourth plane crashed in an open field, in Pennsylvania, after some of its passengers and crew tried to regain control of the aircraft from the hijackers, who had rerouted it in the direction of the American capital. There were no survivors on any of the flights.
