18th Anniversary 11 September 2001 - Islamic Attack On US Soil

On  Wednesday, September 11, 2019, Americans will commemorate the 18th anniversary of one of the most tragic days in modern US history. On September 11, 2001, 19 members of the Islamic extremist organization Al Qaeda conducted a series of brutal, well-orchestrated attacks on American soil.

In addition to cutting short the lives of 2,977 innocent people, the tragedy also  set in motion events that would change the course of life both in the US and worldwide. Preparations for the unprovoked and unprecedented act of violence began early on September 11, 2001.

The armed terrorists, split into four groups — each with a trained pilot — boarded four commercial airplanes masquerading as passengers.  Since airport security, as we know it today was non-existent, the weapons or bombs they were carrying went undetected. The flights — United Flight 93 from New Jersey, American Flight 77 from Washington, DC, and United Flight 175 and American Flight 11 from Boston — were all heading across the country, either to Los Angeles or to San Francisco. They, therefore, had enough fuel to cause a large amount of damage.
