On 11 September 2001, a suicide attack was carried out by Al Qaeda terrorists on America. It killed about 3000 people and injured 8900 people. It is considered to be the biggest and fiercest terrorist attack in world history. Al Qaeda militants hijacked four passenger jets and collided two of them with the World Trade Center (Twin Towers in New York City).
In this attack, all the people aboard the planes, the terrorists themselves and others present in the Twin Towers were killed. The third plane was struck by militants at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, outside Washington DC. The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in the Pennsylvania countryside in an attempt to regain control of the aircraft by some passengers and flight crew. There was no survivor in the aircraft in any of these incidents.
