On the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, millions of people were preparing for work. This included those heading to the Twin Towers, the iconic structures of the World Trade Center in New York City, as well as others travelling to the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.

However, among the travellers that day were nineteen terrorists intent on using the planes they boarded as guided missiles to inflict maximum devastation on the United States and unfortunately, despite several opportunities to stop at least some of them, they accomplished their mission in the most devastating way possible. In this video, we will examine how the hijackings unfolded, minute by minute.
