• The September 11, 2001 attacks (often referred to
  as 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide
  attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States. On
  that morning, terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda
  hijacked four commercial passenger jet
  airliners.12 The hijackers intentionally
  crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers
  of the World Trade Center in New York City,
  killing everyone on board and many others working
  in the building, causing both buildings to
  collapse within two hours, destroying at least
  two nearby buildings and damaging others. The
  hijackers crashed a third airliner into the
  Pentagon. The fourth plane crashed into a field
  near Shanksville in rural Somerset County,
  Pennsylvania, after passengers and members of the
  flight crew on the fourth aircraft attempted to
  retake control of their plane, which was heading
  for Washington, D.C. There are no known survivors
  from any of the flights.

• The United States responded to the attacks by
  declaring a War on Terrorism, launching an
  invasion of Afghanistan to depose the Taliban,
  who had harbored al-Qaeda terrorists, and
  enacting the USA PATRIOT Act. Many other nations
  also strengthened their anti-terrorism
  legislation and expanded law enforcement powers.
