Why did they want to crash the twin towers?
Islamic terrorists, mostly Saudi nationals linked to Al Qaeda, flew two large passenger aircraft into the Twin Towers of the New York World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, in an effort to deter opposition to their social and political agenda. The hijackers committed suicide while killing over 3000 people from many countries who worked in the towers. They were trained and funded by groups linked to Osama Bin Laden (finally tracked down and killed by the US military in 2011).
(The buildings, being huge metal structures, were not "knocked down," but rather collapsed of their own weight when structural elements were damaged by burning fuel from the planes.)
