of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New

in the buildings. Both buildings collapsed within two hours, destroying
nearby buildings and damaging others. The hijackers crashed a third
airliner into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside of Washington,

to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward
Washington, D.C. There were no survivors from any of the flights.
