Sept. 11, 2001, was a day when all Americans watched in disbelief as the Twin Towers were violently attacked. What we did not know right away was that nineteen terrorists who were members of al Qaeda, an Islamist extremist network, had hijacked four commercial airplanes. The hijackers methodically and purposefully flew two of the planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and a third into the Pentagon.
The fourth plane’s passengers and crew learned how the other 3 planes had been strategically used in the attacks and initiated a counterattack, compelling the terrorist flying the plane to abort his original plan and instead crash into a field in Pennsylvania.
