September 11th is the 252nd day of
the year (253rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 113 days
remaining until the end of the year. But there were some who did not get to see
them.
Remembering
:
The September 9/11 attacks were a series of four
coordinated terrorist attacks upon the United States in New York City and the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Four
passenger airliners were hijacked by 19 terrorists so they could be flown into
buildings in suicide attacks. Two of those planes, American Airlines Flight 11
and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers,
respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Within two
hours, both towers collapsed with debris and the resulting fires causing
partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the WTC complex, as well
as major damage to ten other large surrounding structures. A third plane,
American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon (the headquarters of
the United States Department of Defense), leading to a partial collapse in its
western side. The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was targeted at
Washington, D.C.,[2]
but crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania after its passengers
tried to overcome the hijackers. In total, almost 3,000 people died in the
attacks, including the 227 civilians and 19 hijackers aboard the four planes.
It also was the deadliest incident for firefighters in the history of the
United States.
