24 years ago, the world was shaken by the theory of the World Trade Center. 2977 people, including 403 policemen and firefighters, died after two aircraft set two symbol buildings of New York. It was a tragic event that marked the history of mankind. The Al Qaeda fighters are responsible for the New York attacks, after which almost 3,000 people have lost their lives!
An unprecedented drama that has changed the course of history. How was it possible? Al Qaeda fanatics diverted four aircraft, two of them being guided directly in Twin Towers, the emblematic buildings of New York and America. Another one pierced the Pentagon building, while the last one, heading for the White House or Capitol, collapsed near Hanksville, Pennsylvania

On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists who were part of the Al-Qaeda group diverted four planes in four suicidal attacks against the United States. Two aircraft hit the twin towers in New York, crashing them after a few tens of minutes, while one hit the Pentagon, and the other collapsed on a Pennsylvania field.
The administration of George W. Bush responded by triggering conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
At 24 years after the tragedy, the Americans still tremble when they remember the nightmare lived on September 11, 2001. CNN wrote in the past years that a law was signed that obliged the schools to allow a moment of silence in memory of the victims of the terrible attack.
