The world witnessed one of the most tragic events in history on September 11lolliplay, 2001. Terrorists carried out attacks in the United States that forever changed the country and the lives of many people.
Early in the morning, four planes were hijacked by terrorists. Two of these planes crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. The towers, once symbols of America's strength, were destroyed in a matter of hours. A third plane hit the Pentagon, the headquarters of the US Department of Defense, in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane, United Flight 93, crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers tried to overcome the hijackers.
The attacks caused immense destruction and loss of life. Nearly 3,000 people were killed, including passengers on the planes, workers in the buildings, and first responders who rushed to help. The aftermath of the attacks led to a global outpouring of sympathy and support for the United States.
Even after 23 years, images from that day still shock the world.
