On September 11th, 2001, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists planned a suicide attack. All 19 coordinators died, crashing two planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, another plane into Pentagon in Virginia and the fourth and final plane into a field in Pennsylvania. They killed 2,973 victims in the process.
The planes that were hijacked were very full. The planes were commercial airlines, American and United Airlines. 246 people filled up the four planes. The fourth plane was crashed as the result of onboard passengers and flight crew battling with the terrorists in attempt to take control of the plane. Later analysis has shown that this plane was en route to either Capitol or the White House. Civialians from 90 different countries were killed September 11, 2001.
