25 de ani de la 11 septembrie 2001: ziua care a paralizat SUA: 4 avioane deturnate și două turnuri prăbușite • Newsweek România

On the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the world remembers the day when al-Qaeda hijacked four planes, leading to the collapse of the Twin Towers and the death of 2,977 people. The attacks marked a significant turning point for the United States, which faced its worst terrorist assault in history. The day began normally, but quickly escalated into chaos as the first plane struck the North Tower at 8:46 AM, followed by the South Tower at 9:03 AM. The Pentagon was also hit, resulting in further casualties. Flight 93 was brought down by passengers in Pennsylvania, preventing additional destruction. The aftermath saw major changes in U.S. security policies and the initiation of military operations in Afghanistan against al-Qaeda. The events of that day continue to resonate globally, shaping security measures and public perception of terrorism.
