On September 11, 2001, at 8:46 a.m. on a clear Tuesday morning, an American Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with jet fuel crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact left a gaping, burning hole between floors 93-99 of the 110-story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors. As the evacuation of the tower got underway, television cameras broadcasted live images of what initially appeared to be a freak accident. Then, 17 minutes after the first plane hit, a second Boeing 767–United Airlines Flight 175–appeared out of the sky, turned sharply toward the World Trade Center and sliced into floors 77-85 of the South Tower. The collision caused a massive explosion that showered burning debris over surrounding buildings and the streets below. America was under attack.
