September 11, 2001 attacks (view source)
Revision as of 04:47, August 23, 2008
, 04:47, August 23, 2008I have never heard it pronounced "nine-slash-eleven," so I'm writing out "9/11" as "nine-eleven" and leaving a note of how that is written
The coordinated attacks by [[al Qaeda]] affiliated [[Islam|Islamic]] extremists saw three transcontinental airliners strike the [[World Trade Center]] towers (buildings 1 and 2) in [[New York City]], NY and the [[The Pentagon|Pentagon]] outside of [[Washington, D.C.]] within one hour of each other. The attacks succeeded in destroying both World Trade Center towers as well as a third building in the complex and significantly damaged the Pentagon (though the Pentagon was still able to function). A fourth airliner crashed in a field in Shanksville, [[Pennsylvania|PA]], failing to reach its objective.
