9/11-A date that everyone remembers

What actually happened during sept.11/2001?

September 11 Attacks was a coordinated terrorist strike on the United States in 2001 that killed about 3,000 people and reminded the world of the rage of terrorists.

The morning of September 11 (2001), 19 terrorists, working in teams of 4 or 5, hijacked four commercial airliners to use them as potential weapons for creating mass destruction. Two of the planes, loaded with fuel and passengers, were flown at full speed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in the financial district of New York City. The buildings burst into flame and then collapsed, killing thousands.

A third terrorist crew smashed their plane into the Pentagon, headquarters of the U.S. military in Virginia. The hijackers of the fourth airliner apparently intended to hit another target in the Washington, D.C., but the airplane crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania.

The targets that were destroyed, symbolized U.S. financial, political, and military power. Years in the planning, the attacks in New York and Washington constituted the first major foreign assault on the continental United States since 1814(when the British army invaded Washington, D.C., and burned the White House).
