mLine 12:
Line 12: + + − On the morning of September 11, 2001 (9-11), [[Islamic]] terrorists hijacked airplanes from [[Boston]] and flew one airplane into each tower killing everyone aboard the airplanes and on the floors of the impact. The attacks occurred just before 9 AM, the beginning of the workday for many Manhattan workers, and the towers were therefore not filled to capacity. Many evacuated, but the towers collapsed from the ensuing fire before everyone could escape. 2,749 died in the attack, including hundreds of firefighters who rushed into the buildings in the hope of rescuing trapped workers.

A memorial in honor of the lives lost that day is currently being constructed at [[Ground Zero]] and was originally expected to be finished in time for September 11th, 2011 (the ten-year anniversary of the attacks). The memorial opened to the public on September 12, 2011 with the accompanying museum scheduled to open on September 11, 2012.<ref>http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/put-wtc-memorial-article-1.352179 Put WTC Memorial First</ref> [[One World Trade Center]], a building complex designed to replace the original towers, is also being built on the site. At 1776 feet 1WTC, as it is commonly known, will be the tallest building in the United States when it is completed in 2013. Conversely, as an insult to those who died, there is work on building a [[Ground Zero Mosque]].
