On September 11, 2001, nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airplanes. The hijackers flew two into the World Trade Center in New York City. A third plane was crashed into the Pentagon, and the fourth crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to regain control of their place. In all, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the attack on American soil.
