September 11, 2001, is remembered as one of the darkest days in modern history, when coordinated terrorist attacks by al-Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 people in the United States. The day witnessed four plane hijackings: two planes were flown into New York's World Trade Center towers, a third hit the Pentagon, the headquarters of the US Department of Defence, and the fourth crashed into a field in Pennsylvania.
According to several reports, the attacks killed 2,977 people. The tragedy led to sweeping changes in US counterterrorism policy, military operations, and domestic security measures.
At Ground Zero in New York, annual remembrance ceremonies continue to honour the victims, with their names read aloud by family members and loved ones.
