September 11 attacks

20 YEARS SINCE 9/11

It has been two decades since airliners struck the World Trade Center, collapsing the twin towers and blanketing lower Manhattan in ash. In Washington, DC, another plane hit the Pentagon as a fourth – headed for the US Capitol – crashed in a Pennsylvania field.
