United States hit by coordinated air attacks on World Trade Center
Terrorist strikes centered on New York and Washington as terrorists hijacked four planes. World Trade Center towers collapsed while the Pentagon sustained damage and a fourth jet crashed near Pittsburgh. Officials named Osama bin Laden as prime suspect and launched nationwide security measures. Authorities fear hundreds of firefighters and police died in the collapses as air travel shut down and financial markets closed.
