What airports did the September 11 terrorists hijack?

It was not airports, but four U.S. commercial passenger jets that were hijacked on September 11, 2001.

The first plane, American flight 11 (Boston Logan Airport to Los Angeles International), crashed into the North Twin Tower of the World Trade Center complex in Manhattan, New York, NY at 8:46 A.M. (Eastern Standard Time). There were no survivors, and many people working in the Tower were killed upon impact. Other workers were trapped on the floors above, while many below were safely evacuated.

United flight 175 (Boston to L.A) crashed into the South Twin Tower at 9:03 am with no survivors. American Airlines flight 77 (Boston Newark Liberty to San Francisco) crashed into the U.S. Pentagon at 9:37 A.M., killing everyone on board, and 125 military personnel on the ground.

After being the fourth plane hijacked, United flight 93 (Newark Liberty to San Francisco), was turned off course, and headed for an undetermined target in the Washington D.C. area, but failed to reach the terrorists intended destination. When passengers on board used cell phones to learn the fate of the other three hijacked planes, they heroically rushed the cabin, which forced the hijackers to intentionally crash the plane in a nose-dive fashion into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 am. There were no survivors as the plane completely disintegrated into the ground.

How fast was the plane going when it hit the pentagon?

The plane was going at 402 miles an hour full speed at the pentagon.

What was the flight no. that hit WTC?

One of them was Flight 11 and I think the other was flight 175

What was the shape of the twin towers?

The twin towers were in a religious shape. Of course, it is a modern interpretation. I do not wish to say the word of the shape, because I am not 100%. However, the research area is in Egyptian, Jewish and ancient middle eastern origin.

Rest assured people don't just up and build two towers for no reason.

Why did nine eleven happen?

People in Afghanistan crashed an airplane on the world's tallest office building in the USA on purpose. They did that because people there didn't like Americans so they did that to kill them. They planed this for a long time. Probably over a decade (10 years). People who was going to do that had to learn how to drive an airplane.

How many people were killed in the world trade centre attack?

2,976 victims and the 19 hijackers died as a result of the attacks.

What is another name for the September 11 2001 terrorist attacks?

September 11th is commonly referred to as "nine-eleven" or the "World Trade Center attacks." Al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden, was responsible for planning the attacks and wanted to kill as many Americans as possible at once. The attacks displayed trademarks of Al Qaeda attacks--suicide murderers in high populated areas with coordinated simultaneous attacks.

Who is the man that predicted the September 11 terrorist attack?

Allegedly, Nostradamus, a French apothecary and seer, who was born in 1503 and died in 1566, predicted the 9/11 attacks in the future.

One of the verses from his book of predictions:

"Earthshaking fire from the center of the Earth

Will cause tremors around the New City.

Two great rocks will war for a long time,

Then Arethusa will redden a new river."

Earthshaking is thought to represent the conflict between the USA and terrorists or the tremors caused by the planes colliding.

New City is thought to mean New York City.

Two great rocks are believed to be the Twin Towers or the two planes colliding with the towers.

The last line is believed to represent the war between Allied Forces and the terrorists.

What exactly happened in the nine eleven?

NINE ELEVEN NEWS:

In 2003, an airplane from Afghanistan crashed on the tallest office building in the US on purpose because they didn't like Americans. After, there was lots of smoke. Lots of people in the building died and only a few survived. It was big news that day. The reason why the news is called "Nine Eleven" is because it's on September 11. September is the 9th month and it's the 11th day. United States got sad and mad that they started fighting Afghanistan back by war. Lots of countries helped the US like Canada.
