The assault on the United States will forever change the way
America looks at itself and at the world.
SEPTEMBER 11th 2001 will be a date that
America never forgets. Early on Tuesday
morning terrorists simultaneously
commandeered four passenger aircraft flying
from Newark, Boston and Washington, DC.
On the evidence of cellphone calls from
inside the hijacked airliners, groups of
between three and six terrorists herded
passengers and crew into the back of
each craft, threatening them
with knives and cardboard-cutters.
Two of the planes flew straight into the twin towers of the World Trade
Centre, felling both structures an hour later while thousands of
people were presumably still trapped inside. A third ploughed into
the Pentagon. The fourth crashed into a field in Pennsylvania,
apparently after the passengers decided to overpower the
hijackers when they heard, again over cellphones,
of what had
happened in New York. The aircraft had been aimed, it seems, at
the heart of Washington.
