22 years ago today, on September 11, early in the morning, a terrorist attack was carried out in America, which the world knows as 9/11 attacks. This terrorist attack was the world's biggest terrorist attack till date. Let us know which weapons were used in the attack? How many lives were lost in these attacks? Which terrorist organization had carried out these attacks and how? What is now in place of the attacks?
In 2001, Al Qaeda's suicide squads hijacked four airplanes and then, within a span of a few minutes, razed two multi-storey buildings of America's famous World Trade Tower to the ground. Here two separate ships crashed into the North and South towers. Shortly afterward, a third plane crashed into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the US Defense Ministry. Finally another ship met with an accident in the field. Security agencies estimate that this plane would have attacked the White House but amidst the protests of the passengers, the terrorists lost control of the plane and it crashed in the field. In this way, about three thousand people were killed in four accidents.
America killed Osama in Pakistan
There were passengers and terrorists on board all four ships and some were in the target area of the terrorists. The people killed were from different countries all over the world. A few days after the incident, Al Qaeda took responsibility for these attacks. Voices were raised from all over the world against terrorism and America took the initiative and attacked Afghanistan, the stronghold of Al Qaeda. Ten years later, Al Qaeda Chief Osama Bin Laden was killed by American security agencies in Attabad, Pakistan.
World Trade Tower re-erected
After recovering from the attacks, the United States rebuilt the World Trade Tower. It is known as One World Trade Centre. The new building is the tallest building in America and the seventh tallest building in the world. It is built on 16 acres of land. Its construction started in April 2006 and was completed in 2012. However, this building was formally opened on 3 November 2014. The observatory built here was opened on 29 May 2015.
The building is 541 meters high. It has a total of 104 floors. Five state-of-the-art buildings have been built in the new World Trade Center complex. The September 11 Memorial and Museum is also built here, which is on the south side of One World Trade Center. The crashed World Trade Towers were installed here. The Pentagon Building was partially damaged so it was repaired. America has also built memorials here in memory of those who died.
