@unpainted.stories: On September 11, 2001, nineteen hijackers linked to al-Qaeda took control of four commercial airplanes in the United States. Two planes struck the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in New York City. Within under two hours, both towers collapsed. A third plane hit the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The fourth plane, United Flight 93, crashed in a field in Pennsylvania after passengers fought back against the hijackers, likely preventing an attack on another major target. Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives that day, including hundreds of firefighters and first responders who rushed into the towers to save others. It remains one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in history, and reshaped global security, foreign policy, and everyday life for decades to come. We remember the victims, the survivors, and the heroes of that day. **Disclaimer:** This content is shared for educational and informational purposes, in remembrance of the victims and first responders of September 11, 2001. #neverforget #911 #History #onthisday #remembrance
