sep 11, 2001 - 9/11
Description:
19 Islamic extremists associated with al-Queda hijacked four planes and performed suicide bombings. Two of the planes were crashed directly into the Twin Towers, killing many instantly and condemning the most of the rest to death, some by jumping out of the windows of the building. The third plane crashed into the Pentagon and the fourth plane failed to hit its target due to the pilot, flight attendants, and passengers planning an insurretion knowing they weren't going home and death was probably the only route.
