The 9/11 attacks were carried out by nineteen terrorists from al-Qaeda, who hijacked four commercial aeroplanes.

The names of the people who died in the attacks in New York have been etched in bronze around the edges of the pool. A memorial was built on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the site where the Twin Towers once stood. The 9/11 attacks were carried out by nineteen terrorists from al-Qaeda, who hijacked four commercial aeroplanes. The third hijacked plane was made to crash into the Pentagon in Virginia state of the US where 184 people lost their lives. This caused the steel supporting the building structure to weaken and resulted in the collapse of the towers. 9/11 was a series of coordinated terrorist attacks that took place in the United States on September 11, 2001.

This plane went on to crash into the West wall of the Pentagon. A husband of one of the flight attendants on board remembers hearing, “everyone is running to first class.” It’s understood that while the passengers tried to enter the cockpit, the hijackers chose to crash the plane into a rural field in Pennsylvania. American Airlines flight 11 was headed to Los Angeles from Logan Airport at 7:59 AM with 76 passengers, 11 crew members, and 5 additional hijackers. On September 11, the flight had 33 passengers and 7 crew members. All of the passengers died in the final crash after attempting to regain control of the plane from the hijackers. Two of those four planes were flown into the Twin Towers in New York City as suicide attacks.

The attacks on the Twin Towers of World Trade Centre on Tuesday, September 11, 2001 brought about a new world order in the decades that followed.

A war of necessity — in the eyes of most of the world — in Afghanistan was followed two years later by a war of choice as the U.S. In the U.S., it gave rise to the angry, aggrieved, self-proclaimed patriot, and heightened surveillance and suspicion in the name of common defense. The ‘patriotism’ in America grew to the extent that ‘patriot under threat’ became a political identity in the United States. All it had to do was win supporters for their cause and then carry out attacks in the name of the organisation, thereby creating terrorist organisations with a global reach. The September 11 plot demonstrated that al-Qaeda was an organization of global reach. This was only a decade after the collapse of the Soviet Union left America with both the moral authority and the financial and military muscle to be unquestionably the lone superpower. However, it laid out a tough choice for the U.S, to start anew. They hijacked four commercial aeroplanes and after taking control of the aircrafts, the terrorists crashed two of them into the upper floors of the Twin Towers (the North and South towers) of the World Trade Center complex. - However, in the fourth hijacked plane, Flight 93, passengers fought back with the terrorists after learning about the three plane crashes. New Delhi: The following two decades after the attacks on United States’ Twin Towers on 11 September 2001 saw the drastic impact of the event, witnessing a profound change in the world. - The first two crashes occurred in quick succession. On the morning of September 11, 2001, four coordinated attacks were carried out by a total of nineteen terrorists from four different countries, all of them belonging to the al-Qaeda terror group.

A slew of new security regulations were implemented in the following years.

Twenty-one years ago, our world was drastically changed on September 11, 2001, when the United States was cowardly and viciously attacked by terrorists.

In the aftermath of September 11, the phrase, ‘Never Forget,” became a symbol. Imagine, as innocent people ran down the stairs, those first responders kept running up. Today, we remember our heroes; the first responders who ran up the World Trade Center (Twin Towers) stairs.

The September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States ushered in a new era of hate crimes and racism.

“Islamophobia does not exist in a vacuum. This negatively impacts their self-image and mental health.” “In the last 20-plus years since that horrific day, we are seeing more and more Americans choosing to stand up for what is right.” Muslims are unfortunately not the first, and they sadly will not be the last, group that faces hate and discrimination in the United States,” said Ayloush. “The most blatant falsehood to arise from the response to the 9/11 attacks is the idea that Muslims are somehow more prone to violence than other groups or religions,” said Ayloush. “Muslims continue to be the target of hate, bullying, and discrimination as a result of the stereotypes that were perpetuated by Islamophobes and the media in the years

“As a result, 21 years after the attacks, Muslims continue to face the threat of targeted violence and are working to amplify narratives about Muslims that are authentic and accurate to counter the spread of misinformation.” After the attacks, Ayloush explained, there was “a perfect storm of the American people and its government needing a common ‘enemy,’ the multimillion-dollar Islamophobia industry, the military-industrial complex, and the growing threat of white nationalism.” “Muslims continue to be the target of hate, bullying, and discrimination as a result of the stereotypes that were perpetuated by Islamophobes and the media in the years following the 9/11 attacks,” said executive director of the Los Angeles chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA), Hussam Ayloush.

President Joe Biden arrived at the Pentagon on Sunday morning, where he participated in a wreath-laying ceremony and will speak at a 9/11 remembrance event.

After 21 years of the 9/11 attacks in which 2977 people were killed, the trial for the attacks planners, including its mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is ...

David Kelley, a former US attorney who co-chaired the Justice Department’s nationwide investigation into the 9/11 attacks, called the delays and failure to prosecute "an awful tragedy for the families of the victims". The prosecution of the five 9/11 planners is still in the pre-trial stage. Gordon Haberman, whose 25-year-old daughter Andrea died in the 9/11 attacks, told the AP, "Now, I’m not sure what’s going to happen. This is believed to be a grave failure of US counter-terrorism efforts, which have otherwise been hailed in its success to have prevented major jihadist attacks on US soil after 9/11 attacks. This is unacceptable to many, including the US Republicans. Khalid Sheikh Mohammad is accused to be the mastermind of 9/11 attacks. While this to and fro kept consuming time, the transfer of military judges also added to it. The US government held the then-Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and his fellow leaders of the terrorist group responsible for the 9/11 attacks. He was the number three of Al Qaeda after Bin Laden and Al Zawahiri. While its leadership at the time is either eliminated or imprisoned, families of 9/11 victims still await justice as the five men in US government's custody for planning the attacks are yet to be convicted and sentenced. A third plane was crashed into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the US Department of Defence, in Virginia, killing 180 people. After 21 years, the 9/11 case still remains in pre-trial stage.

It is possible the man worked at Windows on the World, a restaurant at the top of the North tower, which lost 79 of its employees. While 'The Falling Man' gives an impression that its subject is falling straight down, in reality, he did not fall with a precision of an arrow. Speaking about the picture, Mr Drew previously stated that many newspaper readers complained about the image over the years, saying that "they didn't want to see this over their morning corn flakes". However, the composition of the image is what makes it stand out. According to Esquire, the iconic photo is one of a series of 12 images taken by photojournalist Richard Drew. He appears relaxed and comfortable in the grip of unimaginable motion.

The National September 11 Memorial & Museum hosted its annual ceremony, with family members of the victims reading names of those who died.

The deadly morning spurred a global “war on terror" highlighted by two decades of combat in Afghanistan and the 2011 killing of Osama bin Laden, founder of the Islamist militant group. The attacks were the work of 19 al-Qaeda conspirators who commandeered two passengers jets departing from Boston, one from Newark, N.J., and one from Washington-Dulles. "We will always remember, we will always stand guard over this democracy. "But what we will not change, and never will, is the character of this nation that the terrorist thought they could wound." The plane went down after passengers and crew members tried to storm the cockpit. Other communities around the country were holding candlelight vigils, interfaith services and other commemorations.

And it falls to us to keep it safe on behalf of all those we lost 21 years ago, on behalf of all those who have given their whole souls to the cause of this nation every day since. And may God honor the members of the military we lost and all those we lost here on 9/11. And that is what we owe future generations of Americans to come. And to all our service members and their families, our veterans, our Gold Star families, all the survivors and caregivers and loved ones who have sacrificed so much for our nation: We owe you. They will feel the connection that will come to pass on September 11, 2001, and how our country was forever changed. Because on this day, it is not about the past, it’s about the future. To me, that’s the greatest lesson of September 11. But what we did change — what we will not change, what we cannot change, never will, is the character of this nation that the terrorists thought they could wound. We’ll continue to monitor and disrupt those terrorist activities wherever we find them, wherever they exist. Think of all of your loved ones, particularly those on that flight — ordinary citizens who said, “We will not let this stand,” who risked and lost their lives so even more people would not die. They raced into the breach between the fourth and fifth corridors. Twenty-one years ago — twenty-one years, and still we kept our promise: Never Forget.
