| #1 September 11 Attacks The September 11 attacks, often referred to as 9/11, were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the militant Islamist terrorist group al-Qaeda against the United States of America on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. On that morning, four commercial airliners traveling from the northeastern United States to California were hijacked mid-flight by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists. The hijackers were organized into three groups of five hijackers and one group of four. Each group had one hijacker who had received flight training and took over control of the aircraft. Their explicit goal was to crash each plane into a prominent American building, causing mass casualties and partial or complete destruction of the targeted buildings. The first plane to hit its target was American Airlines Flight 11. It was flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan at 8:46 am. Locations Impacted: Manhattan, New York, U.S, Arlington County, Virginia, U.S, Stonycreek Township near, Shanksville, Pennsylvania, U.S. Date: September 11, 2001, 8:46 a.m. – 10:28 a.m. (EDT) Targets: World Trade Center, (AA 11 and UA 175), The Pentagon (AA 77), U.S. Capitol or White House, (UA 93, partially successful diversion from target) Attack type: Aircraft hijackings, Suicide attacks, Mass murder, Islamic Terrorism Deaths: 2,996, (2,977 victims) + (19 al-Qaeda terrorists) Non-fatal* injuries: 25,000 *(Poster's Note - People died later as a direct/indirect result of being in the geographical areas, via chemical, biological, environmental exposures, mental health issues and other controversial exposures.) Perpetrators: Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Al-Qaeda Number of participants: 19 ---- Casualties of the September 11 attacks During the September 11 attacks in 2001, 2,977 people were killed, 19 hijackers committed murder–suicide, and more than 6,000 others were injured. The immediate deaths included 265 on the four planes (including the terrorists), 2,606 in the World Trade Center and in the surrounding area, and 125 at the Pentagon. The attacks remain the deadliest terrorist act in world history. Most of those who perished were civilians except for 344 firefighters; 71 law enforcement officers who died in the World Trade Center and on the ground in New York City; another law enforcement officer who died when United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania; 55 military personnel who died at the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia; and the 19 terrorists who died on board the four aircraft. Of the 2,977 people who died, 2,605 were U.S. citizens and 372 non-U.S. citizens (excluding the 19 perpetrators). More than 90 countries lost citizens in the attacks (use 2nd link 2 see more) |
