Today, I'll be talking about the deadliest terrorist act in human history, 9/11. 20 years ago, four planes were hijacked by 19 terrorists. American Airlines Flight 11 was flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. United Airlines Flight 175 was flown in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. American Airlines Flight 77 was flown into the west side of the Pentagon in Washington D.C. United Airlines Flight 93 was on course to Washington D.C., when several passengers overtook the cockpit of the plane. Unfortunately, the plane crashed into the ground near Shanksville, PA, killing all onboard. A total of 2,996 people died on September 11, 2001. Thousands more were injured and many have face life threatening illnesses due to the toxic debris that fell from the World Trade Center.
