September 11, 2001 Memorial Photos We Will Never Forget 09.10.02 by JML

The Tragedy On a clear, sunny late summer day in September 2001, Al Qaeda terrorists aboard three hijacked passenger planes carried out coordinated suicide attacks against the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., killing everyone on board the planes and nearly 3,000 people on the ground. A fourth plane crashed into a Pennsylvania field, killing all on board, after passengers and crew attempted to wrest control from the hijackers. What follows are memorial photographs of the events on that day:

8:46 a.m. - American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston, with 92 aboard, traveling at a speed of 470 miles per hour, crashes into floors 93-99 of North Tower of the World Trade Center complex, killing everyone on board and hundreds inside the building.

9:03 am – Hijackers crash United Airlines Flight 175 into floors 75-85 of the WTC’s South Tower, killing everyone on board and hundreds inside the building.

President Bush is reading to a group of elementary children at a school in Florida when he is given the news.

9:37 am – Hijackers aboard Flight 77 crash the plane into the western façade of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., killing 59 aboard the plane and 125 military and civilian personnel inside the building.

10:07 am – After passengers and crew members aboard the hijacked Flight 93 contact friends and family and learn about the attacks in New York and Washington, they mount an attempt to retake the plane. In response, hijackers deliberately crash the plane into a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, killing all 40 passengers and crew aboard.

Do you know? Who was the president on September 11th? What was he doing when he heard about the attacks? What did the terrorists use as weapons? How many planes were hijacked on that morning? What was the name of the two tall towers that collapsed ? What city were they in? What was attacked in Washington, D.C.? Why was it a target? What was the flight number of the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania because the passengers heroically fought back?
