I was at home when I heard the news. My cousin was working in New York at the time, so we were very grateful to hear that he was on the other side of Manhattan when the attacks happened. My brother and mother came over to our house to watch the coverage on tv.

September 11 Attacks: 09/11/2001
The 9/11 attacks were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States. On that morning, 19 Islamist terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings. Both buildings collapsed within two hours, destroying at least two nearby buildings and damaging others. The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon. The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania, after some of its passengers and flight crew attempted to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington, D.C. There are no survivors from any of the flights.
