The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, also known as 9/11, were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda against the United States. The attacks resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people and injured over 6,000 others.
The attacks began at 8:46 a.m. when American Airlines Flight 11 was flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. Just 17 minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower. The attacks continued when American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon in Washington D.C. and United Airlines Flight 93 was flown into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to take back control of the plane from the hijackers.
The attacks were a turning point in world history, leading to the War on Terror and a heightened focus on national security in the United States and around the world. The anniversary of the attacks, September 11, has since been designated as a National Day of Service and Remembrance in the United States.
