On the morning of September 11, 2001 (9-11), fundamentalist [[Muslim]] terrorists hijacked airplanes from [[Boston]] and flew one airplane into each tower, killing instantly all aboard the airplanes and on the floors of the impact. The attacks occurred on or before about 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 all could leave. 2,749 died from this attack, including hundreds of firefighters who rushed into the buildings in the hope of rescuing trapped workers.
