September 11 terrorist attack on New York
September 11, 2001- New York, New York, United States: The aftermath of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center towers in New York City. A total of four planes were hijacked on September 11. US Airlines flights 11 and 175 from Boston were hijacked mid-air by terrorists with knives who flew the two planes into the two towers of the World Trade Center in New York. American Airlines flight 77 from Washington was hijacked and flown into the Pentagon, and United Airlines flight 93 from New Jersey was hijacked, but its intended target, thought to be Washington, was saved when the passengers on board fought the terrorists. In New York, the damages caused by the plane crashes were tremendous. The two towers of the World Trade Center were designed to withstand the impact of a plane, but the fires were fueled by 91,000 litres of jet fuel, and the temperature of the steel core supporting the towers soared to 800C. Once the steel frame on one floor melted, the floor collapsed, putting even greater pressure on the floor below. Even lower on the tower, where the temperatures were not as high, the force of the weight of the collapsing floors above weakened the buildings' structures to a devastating degree. About an hour after the south tower was hit, it crumbled; twenty minutes later, the north tower fell. Thousands ran for their lives, and while five survivors were uncovered in the rubble in the first twenty-four hours after the crash, 2,801 died. A total of four planes were hijacked on September 11.
