On the morning of September 11, 2001, two commercial airliners were used by Osama bin Laden’s terrorist group Al Qaeda to hit the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center (WTC) in an attack on the financial heart of the United States. . . The third plane attacked the Pentagon, and the passengers of the fourth—the famous Flight 93—prevented it from being used against the Capitol.
The attacks killed 2,996 people, including 19 terrorists, left 24 missing and injured more than 25,000, but estimates suggest the death toll could be higher if those affected by inhaling toxic gases are taken into account.
The attack also spawned the so-called War on Terror, which prompted the US to invade Afghanistan.
September 11 Memorial and Museum
The September 11 Memorial and Museum is considered the premier US institution charged with researching the events of September 11, 2001, documenting its impact and studying its significance. The memorial is located on the same site where the two World Trade Center (WTC) towers were located, brought down by two planes.
Although this is a physical space, there is also an online memorial guide that lets you know where the names of each of the victims are located: both passengers on the plane, WTC employees and first responders.
