                   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.
