Nearly 3,000 people were killed at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania
Hijacked airplanes smashed into New York City's World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 11, 2001, in terrorist attacks carried out by the Islamist group al-Qaida. The World Trade Center’s Twin Towers collapsed less than 90 minutes later. A fourth airplane also headed to the U.S. capital crashed into a Pennsylvania field outside of Shanksville, when the passengers fought the hijackers in an attempt to regain control of the cockpit.
The man accused of being the mastermind behind the attacks is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who is still being held at Guantanamo Bay with four others, charged with conspiracy, murder and terrorism. They face the death penalty. Jury selection for a trial before a military tribunal was to have begun in January but has been delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic and other issues.
