Government or Controlled Demolition The September 11 attacks were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda in the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

Every American has heard of September 11, 2001; some who are too young to remember the terrible events of that day and others look back on 9/11 and still feel the same pain that coursed through America only sixteen short years ago. We have all seen the footage from the news stations and the official story that terrorists from Al Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and crashed two of them into the World Trade Center, one into the pentagon, and crashed one into a field when the passengers decided to stop
September 11, 2001, 19 people hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against their targets.. Two of the planes crashed into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, the third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.
