Answer 1

Summary:

• Twin towers fell

• Pentagon was hit

• 2,996 people died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks,

• 19 hijackers

• 2,606 of these people were killed in the World Trade Center and surrounding areas

• 72 law enforcement officers died

Step-by-step explanation:

9/11 was the first time that the U.S. and us Americans have been attacked on our own soil since pearl harbor (December 7th 1942). Other than being the result of 2,996 deaths, the 9/11 attacks was also the start of the war on terror. The war on terror has caused around 900,000 deaths! So, the attacks on the twin towers were pretty deadly and significant.

9/11 is the single deadliest terrorist attack in human history and the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed, respectively.
