9/11 - The day that changed the world forever

Synopsis

On September 11, 2001, the terrorist group al-Qaeda executed coordinated attacks that resulted in nearly three thousand deaths. At 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, followed by United Airlines Flight 175 striking the South Tower at 9:03 a.m. A third plane hit the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m., while United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers intervened. The attacks prompted the United States to launch Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, fundamentally altering global security policies and perceptions of terrorism.
