On a typical Tuesday morning, the world was shaken to its core as four commercial planes were hijacked by terrorists. Flight 175, an American Airlines Boeing 767 aircraft, took off from Boston's Logan International Airport bound for Los Angeles International Airport with 65 passengers and crew members on board.
Little did anyone know that this would be the last flight of many lives. As the plane soared into the sky, it was deliberately crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City at 9:03 a.m., causing catastrophic damage and loss of life.
In the aftermath of the attacks, the world was left reeling in shock and disbelief. The news spread like wildfire, and people from all walks of life came together to mourn the loss of innocent lives.
As rescue efforts continued at Ground Zero, the nation's attention shifted to the victims' families, who were left to pick up the pieces and try to make sense of the senseless tragedy.
In the days, weeks, and months that followed, investigations were launched to uncover the truth behind the attacks. The FBI led the investigation, with assistance from other government agencies and international partners.
The consequences of the 9/11 attacks were far-reaching, leading to a global war on terror, significant changes in national security policies, and an increased focus on counter-terrorism measures.
