Americans and the whole world remember today they are remembering September 11, the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States.
2,977 people lost their lives in the attacks with the 4 hijacked planes on September 11, 2001, with the highest number of victims recorded in New York.
The attacks were carried out by the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda and resulted in the first and so far only instance of the invocation of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. Consequently, the attacks triggered the US invasion of NATO allies in Afghanistan and Iraq and launched the global war on terror.
On September 11, 2011, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four airplanes: American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 77, and United Airlines Flight 93.
The first two planes, which took off from Boston's Logan Airport and were en route to Los Angeles, crashed into the Twin Towers.
Flight 77, which took off from Dulles Airport in Washington DC and was also en route to Los Angeles, crashed into the Pentagon.
Passengers on the fourth plane, Flight 93 from Newark Airport, realized it was a terrorist attack. The passengers fought off the hijackers and eventually managed to crash it in a field in Pennsylvania before it reached its target, which remains unknown to this day.
The terrorist group's motivation for the attack was rooted in a host of different factors, including US support for Israel and India, the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia, Russia's support for Chechnya, and more.
Many of these motives were further emphasized in the November 2002 "Letter to America" written by then al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who declared a jihad against the US in the 1990s.
The United States responded by launching a war in Afghanistan, while in 2011 American troops killed Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan.
Terrorist attacks remain one of the most traumatic events not only for the United States, but around the world.
They spurred the United States' "war on terror," transformed national security policy, instilled a sense of unity among Americans, but also changed the lives of victims' families and the rescuers who served their fellow citizens on September 11, 22 years ago. seen.
