Remembering the 9/11 Terrorist Attack In U.S
Tuesday, September 11, 2012Omoba
The September 11 attacks (also referred to as September 11, September 11th or9/11)
would remain in the mind of everyone across the globe. Where a series of four suicide attacks were committed in the United States on September 11, 2001, coordinated to
strike areas of New York City and Washington, D.C.
19 terrorists from the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda hijacked four
passenger jets. The hijackers intentionally piloted two of those planes,
American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, into the North and
South towers of the World Trade Center complex in New York City; both towers
collapsed within two hours.
The hijackers also intentionally crashed American Airlines Flight 77
into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and intended to pilot the fourth
hijacked jet, United Airlines Flight 93, into the United States Capitol
Building in Washington, D.C.; however, the plane crashed into a field near
Shanksville, Pennsylvania after its passengers attempted to take control of the
jet from the hijackers. Nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks, including the
246 civilians and 19 hijackers aboard the four planes.
May their Gentle departed souls Rest in peace
