The terrorist’s boarded four aircrafts at three East Coast airports, and soon after takeoff, they were able to successfully hinder the crews.

In addition, the second plane, United Airlines flight 175, also from Boston, hit the south tower 17 minutes later . The two towers were “badly damaged by the impact and erupted” into flames .

On September 11, an attack included three main targets – the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the White House, and the last one was failed. To achieve their goals, the terrorists skyjacked four airliners with passengers. Two of these planes they directed towards towers of the World Trade Center. In the consequence two buildings were damaged. The third airliner was directed to the Pentagon. Both these operations were successfully carried out, but the last was unfinished.

As millions of Americans watched the events in New York, another plane circled over downtown Washington, D.C. and flew into the west side of the Pentagon, which is the military headquarters, at 9:45 a.m. Jet fuel from the plane caused a terrible fire that led to a structural collapse in a portion of the Pentagon.

The chaos started at 8:19 am when Flight 11 set to go to Los Angeles notifies ground personnel that the plane has been hijacked. American Airlines then notifies the FBI. One of the main hijackers and “principal architects of the 9/11 attacks,” Mohammad Atta, was aboard Flight 11 and had made two accidental transmissions to ground control. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) alerted the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)’s Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) about Flight 11 at 8:40 am. Cape Cod’s Otis Air National Guard Base releases two fighter planes to locate Flight 11, but they are not yet ready and in the air until after Mohammad Atta crashed Flight 11 into the North Tower at 8:46 am, killing everyone on board and countless unaware citizens inside the building.
