On September 11, 2001, two commercial airliners were hijacked and crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower at 8:46 AM, while United Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower at 9:03 AM. Both planes were fully loaded with passengers and fuel, which contributed to the intensity of the fires and the eventual collapse of the towers. The attacks were part of a coordinated terrorist operation by the extremist group al-Qaeda.
