On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, 19 men hijacked four airplanes and flew them into landmark buildings in New York City, Washington, D.C., and a field in Pennsylvania. American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 flew into the World Trade Center towers, which caused both skyscrapers to collapse. American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the western side of the Pentagon, which houses the country's military leaders. The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed near Shanksville, Pa., after some of the passengers attempted to regain control. The four planes crashed between 8:46 and 10:03 a.m. Eastern time. Then-President George W. Bush, at a school in Florida at the time of the attack, told the nation hours later that officials believed the attacks were linked.
The attacks killed 2,996 people, including the 19 hijackers.
al quida was responsible for this tragic time in our history. some people had thought that the "arabs" were responsible for 9/11. al quida mostly targeted planes going on long flights because they had more fuel and thought that it would create a much bigger explosion and cause more damage.
some effets that happened after 9/11 was stuff like airport security they have limited everything you can take on an airplane like plastic water bottles. another thing is patriotism people became more patriotic. like the republicans and democrats became very close and came together.
