as 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide
attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States. On
that morning, terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda
hijacked four commercial passenger jet
airliners.12 The hijackers intentionally
crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers
of the World Trade Center in New York City,
killing everyone on board and many others working
in the building, causing both buildings to
collapse within two hours, destroying at least
two nearby buildings and damaging others. The
hijackers crashed a third airliner into the
Pentagon. The fourth plane crashed into a field
near Shanksville in rural Somerset County,
Pennsylvania, after passengers and members of the
flight crew on the fourth aircraft attempted to
retake control of their plane, which was heading
for Washington, D.C. There are no known survivors
from any of the flights.
31- The United States responded to the attacks by
declaring a War on Terrorism, launching an
invasion of Afghanistan to depose the Taliban,
who had harbored al-Qaeda terrorists, and
enacting the USA PATRIOT Act. Many other nations
also strengthened their anti-terrorism
legislation and expanded law enforcement powers.
