Trump Administration Observes 24th Anniversary of 9/11 Attacks
The Trump administration participated in the observance of the 24th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. On that day, four commercial jetliners were used as weapons. At 8:46 a.m., Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center, and at 9:03 a.m., Flight 175 hit the South Tower. At 9:37 a.m., Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon. The South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m., followed by the North Tower. A total of 2,753 people died in New York City, and 184 died in Arlington, Virginia. Flight 93, with 40 passengers on board, was heading toward Washington D.C. from Newark, New Jersey. The passengers, realizing the dire situation, decided to take action, making final goodbyes and, with the rallying cry 'Let's roll,' attempted to storm the cockpit. Their bravery saved countless lives and protected the U.S. capital. The crash site in southwestern Pennsylvania stands as a symbol of America's resilience against evil. The attacks sparked both fury and a surge of patriotism, renewing national unity. The Trump administration moved the Pentagon's 9/11 ceremony indoors due to security concerns, emphasizing a strong stance against any enemy threatening the U.S.
