On 9/11 We Said We’d Never Forget; One Generation Later We Forgot

This week we’ll observe the 24th anniversary of the attack by 19 al-Qaida terrorists, who hijacked four commercial jetliners and directed them at American targets.

They flew the first two aircraft into the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers in New York City, and both buildings collapsed within two hours, taking everyone inside with them.

The third aircraft crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia.
