    The September 11 attacks, commonly known as 9/11 carried out by al-Qaeda against the United States
    in 2001. That morning, 19 terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners scheduled to travel from the New
    England and mid-Atlantic regions of the East Coast to California.

    The hijackers crashed the first 2 planes into the Twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City,
    two of the world’s tallest building at the time, and aimed the next two flights towards targets in or near
    Washington D.C, in an attack on the nation's capital. The third team succeeded in crashing into The
    Pentagon, the headquarters of the U.S Department of Defense in Arlington country, Virginia, while the
    fourth plane crashed in rural Pennsylvania following a passenger revolt. The attacks killed 3,000 people
    and instigated the multi-decade global war on terror. The first impact was that of American Airlines
    flight 11, which crashed into the North tower of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan at 8:46
    a.m. Sixteen minutes later, at 9:03, the World Trade Center’s south tower was hit by United Airlines
    flight 175.
