Never Forgotten

NEW YORK, NEW YORK—On September 11, 2001, an attack on United States soil occurred. The World Trade Center buildings, or the “twin towers”, were destroyed by Al-Qaeda terrorists. 

The World Trade Center buildings (1 and 2) were located in the lower west side of New York City and, for two years, were the tallest buildings in the world.  These towers were home to many financial firms from the 1980s until the buildings’ destruction in 2001.

 
               2,753 people have ultimately been determined dead as a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, making it the deadliest attack on our soil in United States’ history.  It was an infamous day that will never be forgotten in the hearts and minds of all Americans.
