5. On Tuesday, September 11 th, a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks were launched by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda upon the United States in New York City and the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. The attacks killed almost 3,000 people and caused at least $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage. 9pixs.com

6. Suspicion quickly fell on al-Qaeda. Although the group's leader, Osama bin Laden, initially denied any involvement, in 2004, he claimed responsibility for the attacks. Al-Qaeda and bin Laden cited U.S. support of Israel the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq as motives for the attacks. Jrbenjamin.com

7. The United States responded to the attacks by launching the War on Terror and invading Afghanistan to depose the Taliban, which had harbored al-Qaeda. Many countries strengthened their anti-terrorism legislation and expanded law enforcement powers. Having evaded capture for years, bin Laden was located and killed by U.S. forces in May 2011.

8. The National September 11 Memorial & Museum, designed by architect Michael Arad and landscape architect Peter Walker, is a tribute of remembrance and honor to the nearly 3,000 people killed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The eight-acre Memorial consists of two reflecting pools, each nearly an acre in size, which feature the largest manmade waterfalls in North America. The pools lie within the footprints of where the Twin Towers once stood and the names of those who perished in 2001 and in 1993 are inscribed on bronze parapets surrounding the pools. The plaza was officially dedicated on September 11, 2011— the tenth anniversary of the attacks.

9. o The names of the 2,983 people who died on September 11, 2001, and February 26, 1993 are inscribed on bronze panels surrounding two reflecting pools. o The parapets serve as a powerful reminder of the largest loss of life resulting from a foreign attack on American soil and the greatest single loss of rescue personnel in American history. o Spread over 8 acres, the Memorial is accented with more than 400 white oak trees, which can reach heights of up to 60 feet and live up to 300 years. o To build the Memorial, construction required a total of 65,000 cubic yards of concrete, coupled with 8,658 tons of steel. o The 9-11 Museum features the "slurry wall," a surviving retaining wall of the original World Trade Center that withstood the devastation of 9/11.
