9h 3min, sep 11, 2001 y - War on Terror
Description:
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. Airport security, to this day, is long and treacherous to try to prevent another attack like 9/11.Added to timeline:
