Today was the day that changed the United States forever 19 years ago… there were 4 terrorist attacks, they all happened that morning. The attacks killed almost 3000 people, including 20 attackers, considered to be the deadliest terrorist attack in history. They caused more than $10000000000 in damage to infrastructure.

This might sound controversial (especially on @gamejolt ), but they were carried out by the Islamic terrorist group known as "al-Qaeda". They used passenger airplanes to destroy famous buildings by flying planes into them. There were two attacks in New York City and one in Arlington, Virginia. The 4th attack did not work and the plane crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The buildings attacked were the World Trade Center's twin towers in New York City, and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The 4th plane crashed in an empty field in Pennsylvania before it could reach its target in Washington, D.C. That target was either the White House or the United States Capitol. After the event, the United States government said the people who had done the attacks were close to the terrorist group al-Qaeda. If you want more information, click here.
