Answer:

Its significant because two planes crashed the twin towers.

Step-by-step explanation:

On September 11, 2001 a group of Islamic people hijacked four planes and planned to attack the target which is the United States. The planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, causing them to crash and fall. This was in New York City and a third plane crashed into the pentagon in Washington D.C., the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. 3,000 people where killed by this crash and all of this became know as 9/11.
