On what seemed like an ordinary morning in New York City on September 11, 2001, the routines of thousands of people were abruptly shattered by an event that would alter the course of history. At 8:46 AM, the calm of the morning was shattered as American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767, violently crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
The day began like any other in the Big Apple. The sun was shining in a clear sky, and the streets were bustling with people heading to their jobs in the iconic towers. However, in a matter of seconds, everything changed. The impact of the plane created a violent explosion that sent fiery debris in all directions and unleashed an inferno inside the building.

At 9:03 a.m. on September 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 175, another commercial airliner, crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. This impact was the second attack in the September 11 terrorist attacks.

The impact of Flight 175 caused a violent explosion and fire in the South Tower, escalating the tragedy and confusion that was already unfolding following the initial impact of Flight 11 into the North Tower at 8:46 a.m. These attacks, orchestrated by the terrorist group Al-Qaeda, ultimately led to the collapse of both towers of the World Trade Center and resulted in a massive loss of human life and devastating damage. They were events that shocked the world and had a profound impact on international politics and the national security of the United States.

On September 11, 2001, the impact of Flight AA11 on the North Tower marked the beginning of terrorist attacks in the United States. Although the North Tower resisted for a longer duration compared to its twin, it eventually collapsed in just 9 seconds.

Bill Spade, a firefighter from New York, miraculously survived after being trapped under the rubble and spending an hour searching for an exit. Tragically, he was the sole survivor from his group of firefighters, and his uncle perished on Flight UA93.

The collapse of the North Tower resulted in the deaths of nearly everyone inside, except for 12 firefighters, one police officer, and three civilians who were in the "survivor's staircase" in that tower.

These attacks were of an unprecedented scale, with 2,996 people killed (excluding the 19 attackers), marking the largest loss of life caused by a foreign attack on American soil. They also represented the largest loss of rescue personnel in U.S. history, with 343 firefighters killed in New York alone.

Furthermore, in the months following the attacks and during the cleanup and reconstruction efforts, approximately 400,000 people were exposed to toxins, suffered injuries, and endured emotional trauma, leading to chronic illnesses and the deaths of thousands, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
