September 11: World Trade Center
built 791 days ago
September 11, 2001 was a bright, crisp morning in many regions of the United States, which was shattered when the nation was attacked by terrorists. Americans and friends all over the world remember where they were and what they were doing that fateful Tuesday morning, when the first attack commenced with a plane being flown into the World Trade Center in New York.

Among the many shocking images burned into America's collective consciousness after September 11, 2001, was the sight of the World Trade Center towers buckling and collapsing into dust after they'd been stuck by jetliners. How could two of the biggest and strongest commercial buildings in the world be so suddenly and dramatically reduced to rubble? This is a documentary which looks and the engineering, design, and construction innovations that helped to make the construction of the WTC towers possible, and how these same virtues could have become deadly flaws in the wake of the attack.

On September 11, 2001, hijackers turned four airplanes into instruments of terror. Their horrific crime left some 3,000 dead, devastated the lives of many thousands more, destroyed the World Trade Center, and created a sense of urgency about protecting the United States from future terrorists attacks. September 11 was not just an assault... on lives and buildings. It was also, as United States President George W. Bush pointed out, an attack on the fundamental freedoms on which the U.S. was founded. Unfortunately, the fight against terrorism launched by the United States after September 11 did not include a vigorous affirmation of those freedoms. Instead, the country has witnessed a persistent, deliberate, and unwarranted erosion of basic rights against abusive governmental power that are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and international human rights law.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four commercial jetliners and turned them toward targets chosen for destruction, killing thousands. Two of the planes struck and brought down the towers of the World Trade Center. A third plane hit the Pentagon, headquarters of the United States military. Passengers on the fourth airliner fought back against the hijackers, who apparently intended to hit another target in Washington, D.C. This airplane crashed in rural Pennsylvania.
