"Terror from the sky"
September 11, 2001, started as a routine Tuesday morning for millions of Americans. But at 8:46 a. m., a low-flying jet with more than 90 people aboard crashed into one of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, a huge office complex in New York City.

On a typical day, some 50,000 workers filled its offices, and 200,000 visitors from all over the globe flocked to its shops, restaurants, and sky-high observation deck. At 110 stories each, its matching silver skyscrapers were a famous symbol of the nation’s power and prosperity.

When the plane hit the North Tower, it initially appeared to be a tragic accident. But then, as people began to evacuate the towers and surrounding office buildings—and as firefighters, EMTs, and police officers rushed to the scene—a second plane roared overhead and crashed into the South Tower. The Pentagon after being attacked

With that, it became clear that the acts had been deliberate—the U. S. was under attack. The world would soon learn that terrorists had hijacked the planes and turned them into weapons. Half an hour later, a third plane struck the Pentagon (headquarters of the U. S. military) in Arlington, Virginia, just outside the nation’s capital. Then a fourth plane—which may have been headed for the U. S. Capitol or the White House in Washington, D. C.—crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. (Passengers, realizing what was happening, had bravely battled the hijackers and kept the plane from reaching its target.)

Back at Ground Zero—as the World Trade Center site in Manhattan soon would become known—first one tower and then the other collapsed. The eruptions of smoke, soot, and debris caused the already panicked crowds in nearby streets to run for their lives.

A terrorist group called Al Qaeda, led by a man named Osama bin Laden, soon claimed responsibility for the attacks
