September 11, 2001 attacks
in America
• The September 11, 2001 attacks (often referred to as 9/11)
were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda
upon the United States. On that morning, terrorists affiliated
with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet
airliners.[1][2] The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the
airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in
New York City, killing everyone on board and many others
working in the building, causing both buildings to collapse
within two hours, destroying at least two nearby buildings
and damaging others. The hijackers crashed a third airliner
into the Pentagon. The fourth plane crashed into a field near
Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania, after
passengers and members of the flight crew on the fourth
aircraft attempted to retake control of their plane, which
was heading for Washington, D.C. There are no known
survivors from any of the flights.
• The United States responded to the attacks by
declaring a War on Terrorism, launching an
invasion of Afghanistan to depose the Taliban,
who had harbored al-Qaeda terrorists, and
enacting the USA PATRIOT Act. Many other
nations also strengthened their anti-terrorism
legislation and expanded law enforcement
powers. Stock exchanges closed for almost a
week, and posted enormous losses upon
reopening, especially in the airline and insurance
industries. The economy of Lower Manhattan
ground to a halt, as billions of dollars in office
space was damaged or destroyed.
