Today is the 19th anniversary of the horrific terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. On this day in 2001, 19 militants linked to al-Qaeda carried out suicide attacks in three places in the United States, including the Twin Towers. Three thousand people lost their lives in it. More than 6 thousand were injured.
Two planes hit the Twin Towers in New York. Less than 50 minutes after the attack, the third plane crashed at the Pentagon, the US defense headquarters in Washington. And the fourth plane attacked Pennsylvania. Since the Nine-Eleven attacks, the United States has tightened its grip on terrorism, and the dynamics of world politics have changed.
At 8:19 a.m. before the attack, a flight attendant warned that their plane had been captured by hijackers. There is no response from the cockpit and the hijackers have explosives. It was also reported that two attendants, including a passenger, were stabbed.
United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the south building of the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m., 17 minutes after the attack was not properly understood. It also flew from Boston and carried out the attack. It was later learned that an attendant contacted United Airlines authorities shortly after the hijacking, saying the hijacking had taken place and that two pilots had been killed. However, despite trying to communicate, the last defense was not.
One plane crashed in the state of Pennsylvania and the other in the state of Virginia. The conspirators reportedly tried to shoot down a plane at the White House, but it crashed in Pennsylvania.
Al-Qaeda member Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks. He was arrested in March 2003 during a joint operation by the CIA and ISI in Rawalpindi. One of al-Qaeda's main figures in the attack was an Egyptian named Mohammed Ata. He is thought to have been one of the leaders in the 9/11 attacks.
Al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden is thought to have been behind the attack on the Twin Towers. He initially denied any involvement in the incident but later admitted it.
One of the most recent "conspiracy theories" is the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in the United States. There are all sorts of conspiracy theories about this incident. Discussions about this, the debate is not over today.
