What happened on Tuesday September 11, 2001?

Here's what happened on September 11, 2001:

• 9/11 Terrorist Attacks On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists from the Islamist extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial aircraft in a coordinated terrorist attack against the United States. Two planes were deliberately crashed into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center complex in New York City, causing their complete collapse. A third plane was flown into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, while the fourth hijacked plane, Flight 93, crashed into an empty field in western Pennsylvania after passengers heroically fought back against the terrorists. The attacks resulted in nearly 3,000 fatalities from 93 different countries, with most deaths occurring at the World Trade Center. The Pentagon lost 184 civilians and service members, and 40 people were killed on Flight 93.
• 9/11 Attacks Timeline Detailed chronological account of the September 11 terrorist attacks, documenting key moments from the initial hijackings to the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. Highlights include the first hijacked flight at 5:45 AM, Betty Ann Ong's critical alert at 8:19 AM, President Bush being informed at 9:05 AM, and the dramatic passenger revolt on Flight 93 leading to its crash in Pennsylvania.
• International Support: UK's Response Tony Blair, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, demonstrates solidarity with the United States by canceling a scheduled speech to the TUC and promising to 'stand shoulder-to-shoulder' with the US in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks.
• Initial Speculation on Attack Origins Early investigations focused on Osama Bin Laden, a Saudi-born terrorist leader based in Afghanistan. Interestingly, leaders of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan initially condemned the attacks and denied Bin Laden's involvement.
• Canada's Response to 9/11 In response to the terrorist attacks, Canada heightened border security with the United States and initiated two significant operations: Operation Support and Operation Yellow Ribbon.
• Music Releases on 9/11 Despite the tragic events, several music albums were released on September 11, 2001, including Ben Folds' 'Rockin' the Suburbs'.
