The September 11 attacks, commonly referred to as 9/11, were a series of coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by the extremist group al-Qaeda against the United States on September 11, 2001. The attacks involved the hijacking of four commercial airplanes, two of which were flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, causing their eventual collapse. A third plane struck the Pentagon, while the fourth, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to retake control from the hijackers. The 9/11 attacks resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people and led to significant changes in U.S. domestic and foreign policy, including the initiation of the War on Terror.
