The 9/11 is actually a date of 11 September 2001 .

There is a incident behind 9/11 .

  • ☆ In America the convention is to write the month first , followed by the date ; hence the short form '9/11 ' .

Step-by-step explanation:

  • On 11 September 2001 , nineteen hijackers hailing from a number of Arab countries took control of four American commercial aircraft shortly after takeoff and flew them into important buildings in the US .
  • One airliner each crashed into the north and south Towers of the world Trade centre in New York .
  • A third aircraft crashed into the Pentagon building in Airlington, Vírginia, where the US defence Department is headquartered
  • The fourth aircraft , presumably bound for the Capitol building of the US Congress came down in a field in Pennsylvania.

The attacks have come to be known as " 9/11 " .

The attacks killed nearly three thousand persons. In terms of their shocking effect on America , they have been compared to the British burning of Washington, DC in 1814 and Japanese attack on pearl Harbour in 1941 .

  • However, in terms of loss of life , 9/11 was the most severe attack on US soil since tge founding of the country in 1776.

The question must be -

  • Write the significance of 9/11 .
  • Explain 9/11 crisis .
  • what is 9/11 "Global war on Terror "?
